Happy University!

So after all the hoo ha about Rod going pro and all, he winds up going to a local university that was founded by Barajas in 2023. Milford never had anything like that in the old days, but again, these arent your fathers Mudlarks.

I dunno, Rod looks like he’s a middle-age couch potato in P2. And what kind of statement is that in P3? He wants to go to the “big leagues”… meaning what? the NBA? Then Gil says.. he should visit “the campus” first.. Uh.. Is Milford U “the big leagues”? According to that statement it is. “The campus” is inclusive of the last statement location. If you say “the” something after “the” something else, theyre ostensibly the same place. Right gang? “The campus” is part of “the big leagues”.

Which all is a pile of horseshit. You dont go with your coach to visit a prospective college anyway. You go with your parents. This is where you will live for the next 4 years. You better have some connection with your family about your decision. Dont Rods parents care about this, especially since he’s a major star with mega bucks in his future, apparently. Yes Gil can provide some input, but geez, why does he need to go with Rod for the tour??

And the last sentence sounds pretty last minute to me. Hey, how about a tour? Didnt the coach just tell Rod to sit? Now get up we gotta tour the place. None of this strip today makes ANY FREAKIN SENSE.

And finally – if thats a tie Rod is wearing, it is missing a knot. How the hell did he put it on? And how will it stay on? And to nit-pick, I dont like the green tie on a green shirt Coach Wilcox is wearing. And Gil has on the same tux jacket he wore last week to introduce Beth to the kids.

  1. Repeating the Jaquan Case story 19 years later?
    Why not! Isn’t the world clamoring for Hadley V, Professor Case, & their kids, Justin & Brief? It saves Henry from having to deal with all the goofs he made in the turning pro story.

    This whole University appearing from nowhere thing is explained by their fight song:

    Milford U, Milford U,
    Blooming under sable skies.
    Milford U, Milford U,
    There my heart forever lies.
    Let the world grow cold around us,
    Let the heavens cry above!
    Milford U, Milford U,
    In thy valley, there’ll be love!

  2. It kind of sounds like coach Paulie has never heard of Rod either. Say what? I thought that Rod was good enough to be the next Lebron James. I mean he’s made free throws, thrown down some dunks that he learned in juvie, and made at least one game winning shot. Why isn’t Paulie and other coaches standing in line to blow this kid? Offering big NIL deals to him? Instead, we get “ please sit and let’s tour the campus”. Maybe it’s an online tour.
