Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 09, 2020

The other two QBs now that they’re buds:

“You go in”

“No you go in”

“After you”

“Indubitably”

I feel a Valley Tech comeback win in the works. Can’t wait for Corona (she’s like a virus) Karina will have to say.

In all reality , Marty announces ,the fans are being to chant something , I can’t make it out , wait , it sounds like , yes now I can hear it ,the Milford fans are chanting CORINA ,CORINA ! Coach Thorp just called a time out. Put down the cold coffee and hot dog Corina I’m putting you in ,are you ready for this?I’ve been ready for this my whole life Coach ,in all reality !

3rd string QB Leonard Fleming is #40? Not since the Giant’s Charlie Connerly have I seen a QB with a number that high.

And will Gil send in the showboater to blow the game or the plodder who always follows orders?

Two words: Wildcat.

Which one of Thayer or Rapson can best run the quick kick play Gil’s about to call?

This is Corina’s fault. She hates football, so all through the game she’s ignored the score, and she’s just been rooting for injuries.

P1, The brain trust of Milford QB’s.

P2, Chance “Blowtop” Macy fools not only Tilden but the referees as he crosses the goal line with a dodgeball.

P3, Okay, is Leonard 75 or 40 ‘cause he’s neither one of those numbers in P1. Continuity be damned!

P 2: Chance taunts the D

P4- Thorp sends in Thayer and Rapson with Thayer under center. Will takes the snap, drops back to pass and Rapp takes the ball out of Thayer’s hand, executing The Statue of Liberty as the forgotten TE Tom Muench runs a drag and hauls in the insurance score to seal the outcome. Phoebe Keener ready to battle Corina for point guard playing time on Monday.

The weird thing is there is only 21 seconds on the clock and Gil has a tough decision. Even though Rapp never started a game.

It would be great to see whoever is sent in to QB have a Joe Piscarcik moment and fumble the ball away for a game winning Valley Tech TD…

Rapp and Thayer have learned that if they don’t play, they don’t need to shower and so are fighting over who doesn’t have to go in.

There is nothing worse than a limping Leonard

Gil calls time out, gathers the team and urges them to win one for the gimper

I still don’t get how they worked on this TOP SECRET, UNSTOPPABLE offense all year (and then sat on it until the last two games of the season), and the player best at running it is the THIRD STRING quarterback. Who basically never plays.

And speaking of third string, when you’re building your comic strip fantasy team, I’m just grateful if Mopped Up Thorp makes it in as third string.
