    P1 – The Milford Marching Band! This might be their first appearance ever. It’s about time, they’ve won numerous awards for their stellar flashback performances of hits from the 50’s. Of course, the judges don’t realize that they are simply playing the current hit tunes in Milford.

    P2 – Think how many yards he could gain if he didn’t throw himself on top of defenders that are on the ground.

    P2 – RICOLAAAAAAAAAAA!

    What on earth is that trumpet player doing? He’s hold both hands over the valves, which you would never do. As it is he can only play a low C# since he can’t release any of them.

    In all reality , so we wait another week or so to see if Richard Soto sings the National Anthem before a game. Word on the street is that Central City youths are heading to Milford tonight to soap Gil’s windows and egg his house . Happy Halloween !

    P1, Did the whole band fall asleep with their instruments at the ready?

    P2, Moose, you only pile on when you don’t have the ball.

    P3, The crowd goes wild, safe in the knowledge that yet another 2nd place finish in The Valley is all but assured.

    The Mighty Milford Marching Mudlark Band finally gets to strut their stuff and show off their plumage. The peacocks of Milford have been stripped of their pride. To t-car from yesterday. I thought nothing was sweeter that watching the rotation of an ABA basketball swishing through the net.

    Many in the crowd saw Marty Moon take a knee during the anthem and were surprised. Not known as being political ( he was shocked when told Ike wasn’t still president), he was trying to be discreet while retching up the pint of Wild Turkey he drank in the parking lot. Many in the crowd were not surprised by that.

    Guess that they must have got Roseanne Barr to sing it instead.

    Milford has played Mallard, now playing Madison. Next Friday they’re at Marshall.

    Gil Thorp, July 18, 2014: “If a kid wants to come to Milford, it shouldn’t matter how good he is. Quarterback, tuba player…I’ll ask questions but I won’t BARGAIN.”

    Pretty sure I spot a tuba on the right of P1 hiding behind the text box. The prophecy has been fulfilled.

    P-1: Brazil 67?

    P-2: Pelwiki is tossed for targeting the defender’s head

    P-3: Our blogger’s all cheer as another month comes to and end rather than the story line.

    That’s not a real band. This is a real band!
