Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 17, 2011

The ‘Larks wouldn’t be doing so bad if Peyton was healthy.

Bob Davie got hired at New Mexico today. Maybe he’ll hire Deke Davey as his defensive coordinator.

Who kicked the field goal for Milford, or did the much-maligned D pull off five safeties?

Lame lame lame! There is no way Gil would allow DD to ride the D like that.

But GilPa would let Sandusky ride the D like that?

Wow, the season is suddenly moving along. Two games complete in one panel! P3: Did one of Milford’s high school kids write the “John Deere” name on the side and draw a crude drawing of a deer?

Milford still plays under 1905 rules where a TD is worth 5 points.

I like how the number 17 shows up on that jersey in P1. It’s like I can see through the player into the sunshine behind him.

P2- Deke suddenly has the “Peter Lawford” do. This guy is a walking osmosis! No wonder the defense can’t stop anyone, Deke gave’m bobbleheaditous.

wmac8898: Those are glow in the dark numbers on the Larks’ unis. No other explanation as to why 17 shows up as light and the rest of the unis have dark numbers.

“You will not do this to me again,” is a quote from Robert M. Knight, when he got tired of losing to Purdue.

Meanwhile, Omar Jabaar (Azal’s brother) scores a hat trick as the Milford soccer team routes Central 4-0! Joey’s cousin Josh even saves a PK to preserve the clean sheet!

Mr Rubin?…Telephone…Its John Deere Corporation on line 2

So is that it for the Brody – Aspergers – placekicking storyline? I’m disappointed — I wanted to see a Brody-saves-the-day moment. Now we’ve got coach rage.

they did it to him again

They could have scored a TD, 2 pt. conversion and a safety.

Thanksgiving morning, final game of winless season racked with injuries, 4th quarter, down by two in the waning seconds, ball on the forty yard line, Gil sends in mystery kicker who’s been kicking these xp’s ang fg’s that keep showing up in the final score. Mystery kicker says I can’t kick a 52 yarder, but Brody can! After Gil pep talk Brody puts it thru the uprights and gets carted off on everyone’s shoulders for feel good moment of season. Everyone but Wildcat and Deke have wonderful dinner.

Whatever happened to “my boy Bobby?” Wouldn’t you think he could help out the D a little bit here. This whole story line has been a waste of time to get our focus off of Mimi, Molly and the missing Thorp kids. I can’t wait to see what basketball season brings. A “lights out” three-point shooter who can’t play defense? Oh wait, that would have been J.J. Redick.

Come on! I look forward to the Milford Goshen game all year, and it gets blacked out? Angry Kaz.

Brody may have Asperger’s, but he isn’t stupid — would YOU want to play for this team?

Wow – #17 must be awesome at blocking kicks. I assume he’ll be the starting center for the basketball team this year.

Shameless plug for John Deere in the last panel.

I’m still thinking Slim Chance on lead vocals at a pep rally can cure all of this.

So let’s see: We have three incomplete storylines, four if you count the rash of injuries probably caused by the uncertified assistant Deke Davey. We must be headed for one heck of an ending!

Mudlarks reach a new low as they lose to the Goshen Clowns.
