    P1: “OK, gimme your lunch money NOW or else!”

    P2: The Milford receiver waits for the ball to finally get out of suspended animation and fall out his hands.

    P3: “The surprise factor of Milford seemingly winning is wearing off. Switch my bet, Shaky.”

    “Marty, don’t talk to your bookie when you’re on the air!”

    P1/2 For some reason, Milford gets to play with a much smaller football than Madison like girl’s softball and basketball. The Valley must have some sort of handicap system set up to guarantee Milford second in The Valley no matter how bad they are.

    P3, No surprise that Marty’s drunk already, though.

    How many offenses does Gil have – Pro-I, Wing-T, others?

    Gil must have been watching some 8 year olds play football where they basically hand it off to the biggest player to run.

    That surprise kind of wore off about 40 years ago, didn’t it?

    P1.5- The Madison Sweet Cheeks have split the deficit thanks to a triple tight end formation that gives Air Jimmy a whiff of fragrance.

    P2 – Is that a football or a jack-o-lantern?

    P3 – Marty, king of the obvious. If you run a play 20 times in a row, there probably is no surprise factor. Bring in Rapp for some razzle dazzle!

    And speaking of Rapp, I hope you’re not going to rap on the effort put into today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

    I can’t wait until tomorrow. If Madison cuts the lead in half again, Milford will be up 3 1/2.

    Just like yesterday when the Cleveland coach pulled the ineffective Baker Mayfield, Gil will be forced to pull the ineffective starter and put in Rap, with strict instructions to ‘run the plays I call’ which, of course, he won’t.

    Are they using one of those old white footballs the NFL used early on in night games to make the ball easier to see? Actually saw one of them at the HOF in Canton last year.

    Things move slow in Milford, just like the students at Milford High. Word of The New Girl’s arrival has finally spread through the school. Those students who are not at the football game (which is pretty well everybody except the player’s girlfriends") gather in the auditorium. The Glee Club honours the new student with the traditional “Welcome To Milford High” song.
