Will the officials correct the error that the clock was running during a conversion attempt? It’d still leave time for an onside (or rainbow) kick and Hail Mary. Or will it go down in infamy with the 5th down game? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Down_Game_(1990)
Looks like we’re not taking a break in the middle of the two point conversion play today, but let’s take a break to wish a Happy Hanukkah to all of our friends, acquaintances and fellow snarkers of the Jewish faith.
In today’s episode of “Mop Thorp” the fictional, adult themed parallel universe to Gil Thorp, the following scene plays out:
P1 Coach BHHLHM let’s his ego get the best of him and sets the defense to successfully stop the two point conversion after agreeing to the fix for Milford winning by two or less.
P2 Coach BHHLHM and Coach Kim’s victory celebration is short lived as the signal is given to the snipers in the stands to open up on the opposing coaching staff as consequences for reneging on their agreement.
P3 Gil and Kaz exchange knowing looks. It’s good to be the Gilfather.
Note: There were no coaches harmed in today’s episode. It was only a drill.
What’s with this “I” attitude Lukey? Did you complete a pass ? Catch a pass? Make a tackle? Coaching 101, deflect criticism from your team and praise them for their efforts and responding to adversity. I’m sure the Ducey report will be a doozy. Oh wait! Flag on the play…
Cool, hopefully this sports stuff is over for a while, the complaining about the woke stuff is more entertaining than the nitpicking complaining about football.
The ball is placed on the two yard line for an extra point.The runner leaped over the defensive line in the previous days panel.Today the runner is tackled from behind in the air which would push him further forward.Where he lands, would be where the ball is placed. if this is not an X-point conversion that defies anything in football I have ever seen.
If we take and use physics and normal football, there is no way he would not have scoredPicture of Bart Starr in the ice bowl making a dive to get in over jethro puge is proof of that.To stop him he would have to be tackled head on, once he leaped over the defensive line.
OK, Fans, it’s after 4PM here in Michigan. Not one of you has mentioned: SECOND in the Valley!! The Streak is unbroken, Kaz goes out the same way he came in! I’m so happy! I could tossle Jami’s hair!!!
Ooh, Gil and Kaz can’t bear to look at each other after this debacle. And speaking of looking, I’m hoping you can bear to look at today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Although there is no “I” in “team,” does this mean Gil has to leave Milford and this strip will now be known as “Luke Martinez?”

So the Thorp Special wasn’t all that special?

Are they glaring at each other because each thinks the other was to blame for the loss? Who decided to go for 2 instead of the tie and go to OT?

Naturally the heel has to get over on the face, probably a few times so the audience is really thirsty for “The Sheriff” to get his comeuppance.

Gil will be the better man and congratulate him. But will Martinez be satisfied?

P4 Gil thought bubble: “Kaz, you suck. You’re fired.”
Kaz thought bubble: “Gil, you suck. I’m out of here.”

“I won!” Interesting reaction. Not “We won.” Insight into this narcissistic coach’s personality. Great role model for the team.

No “Coach.” Your team beat him.

I “woke” up this morning and thanks to my timely “arrangement” with a certain gentleman in Goshen last week, I am now a rich man. Drinks are on me!

P-1: Tobi demonstrates page 81 in the High School Grooming Text: “Comi Suits Ya”.
P-2: Apparently, a one point Victory constitutes a VT A## kicking.
P-3: Look away, Look away, Look away, Milford Fans

Answer to Marty’s question in P-1: No, but it’s only their first date.

How can they tell whether he scored? The stadium lights are out.

P2- They’re so excited that their yellow stripes changed angles. That’s on Rod, not the colorist who forgot BHHL’s green shirt.

Shouldn’t Marty’s dialogue in panel 1 read: “Did they get there?! No!”
