In the “real” 1987 Milford football season (that is, the one actually shown in the 1987 comics), the Mudlarks won their first five but did not score another point afterwards, getting shut out 21-0 by Central and playing a scoreless tie with Valley Tech. So, there’s some retconnin’ goin’ on here, folks!
Is “Maestro” Turturro the A.V. guy now? Last time we saw Orville he was tackling school shooters while teaching us about the communication techniques of Australopithecus.
This week reminds me of the time Milford was about to score the winning touchdown and the evil custodian cut the power line with his pruning shears… or something.
The “tapes” he reviews are on YouTube? Ah ha, so Gil admits that he doesn’t do jack squat while at Milford, he just watches music and cat videos all day. And speaking of all day, you could search the internet all day and not come across anything as good as today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

So Gil ain’t as dumb and forgetful as VT Coach A-hole thinks. Or he actually read the story in the Star where A-hole rips him a new one.

Gil: When I watch game tape, I prefer Jiffy Pop.
Orville: Redebachers!
Gil: Jiffy Pop!
Orville: Redenbachers! Dadgummit! And I played for Norman Dale so your boys best pass four times before a shot.

Welcome back, snarkers. Gil’s not interested in reliving the glory days. Profiting off them, yes, reliving, eh.

What possible good could come from reviewing 35 year old game film. And are we expected to believe they’ll even be able to find a VCR?

This allows the “Maestro” a chance to pop some hot buttered popcorn while they watch this tape.

In the illustration above, Gil taught us all a valuable lesson…lift with your legs not with your back.

P1- That half empty box of tapes must weigh at least 5 pounds.
P2- “Check out the position of these two.”
P3- “Now I just need to find a Betamax player.”
