The Blockhams in "TACKLING TECHNIQUE"

TACKLING TECHNIQUE


(Click the image to view full size)  

Ohio State vs. Michigan.  Thor vs. Loki.  Mark Dantonio vs. dentistry.

And now, I give you... Baby Bo and Fielding.

 

On Thursday we'll start with a new string of Charlie-related strips pairing our own Michigan fanaticism with good ol-fashioned childhood optimism and creativity.

I'd also like to announce that next week I'm embarking on a good ol' American family vacation...  As such, the regularly scheduled Tuesday and Thursday strips will tentatively run on the official site with an automated publish, but I'm not going to be putting together the Tuesday strip here on MGoBlog. So no Tuesday post next week.

THE BLOCKHAMS™ runs (typically) every Tuesday here at MGoBlog, and at least
every Thursday on its official home page.  Also, don't forget to check out our newest
feature, Friday Roughs, a spontaneous low-end comic based on trending
Michigan events, available on Twitter and Facebook every Friday.

Follow THE BLOCKHAMS™ on Twitter at @theblockhams, and don't forget to

My thoughts exactly.  Keep the parallel structure of the comparison consistent.  Loki (OSU) will lose in the end because it is in their nature, and because they lack conviction.

Or maybe because they have too many convictions.  Amirite?

Looks more like a Tom Gholson late hit than anything.  She shouldn't be leaving her feet behind either.

If Gerg was still coaching she would've whiffed on the dog, slid into the street and got trampled by a rogue hippo.

Even Disney's "Robin Hood" predicted GERG, except Disney had rhinos doing the tackling and a rather diminutive chicken getting about 90 yards on the play:

The Mattison "sound effect" is pretty epic. I think I'll have to find a way to emulate that for every time my daughter decides to tackle her brother for a loss. Great work, Six Zero!
