Sometimes fear is worse than reality. If Conrad could stay calm he might be able to rise to the occasion. He started off good but his old self seems to be taking over.
*** This strip appeared earlier when I was learning about CP pre-publishing, but now that the storyline is playing itself out correctly I had to repost it.

Every generation has different morals and ethics regarding individual character, but sports still commands an Old School mentality. Conrad is about to rise or fall in the face of these boyhood challenges.
Rudo seems to miss the point of Conrad’s rhetorical phrase. On the football field Rudo is years ahead of his age, but everywhere else he’s usually a bit behind.
School to him seems to be more struggle than success.
