Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for October 28, 2014

Gil again shows the ventriloquist’s knack for talking and drinking at the same time.

Hey Marty. Make like a sheepdog and get the flock out of here.

I would think that 5 games into the season, the relative softness of past opponents could be fairly accurately gauged by looking at the standings, though I guess unfounded speculation is fun too.

All this talk of soft opponents is tailor-made for MUT.

Speaking of soft Marti…. 40 years of covering the atheletic efforts of 1 high school, unmarried and living in a remodeled pressbox!

In all reality, come on Gil whip some coach speak on Marty how this is the toughest schedule you ve ever played, we play them one at a time , our next opponent despite being 0/5 could easily be 5/0 etc.

Uh, oh. Gil’s drinking from his Loser mug (P1). Could that be an omen for Friday night.

Yesterdays “GIL” cup was written with thin line,s whereas today, the letters are so broad we can only see the “L”. Looks like Gil has a starter paint set tucked away in that desk of his.

Tru pitches to Jarrod, then catches Jarrod’s pass for a (hopefully) winning TD. Soon. Maybe.

Gil has utter disdain for game prep, never worked hard in pre-season (preferred to F-off with Kaz at Milford CC), has bungled personnel decisions, yet he oozes hubris in P3.Predict an old fashioned ass whooping by Todd Andrews squad in the playdowns.

Looks like it’s back to the dungeon in P2. Does Marty know what he’s in for in MUT?

Will we make the playdowns this year? That’s all I want to know. Are the ’larks ever going to win the big trophy?

Oh snap! Gil is snarky with Marty. Since Moonpie is the straw that stirs the MHS drink(hic, hic), expect to see Moon’s old prop the sippy cup in the tinderbox, err pressbox come Friday night. Angie Sanchez and Wendy Wiley might have something to say about this so called soft competition.

“I coach?” Since when? Tru(e) is calling the shots. And your team would be undefeated if you’d let Tru(e) have a few snaps with the varsity.

“hey Marty . . . I like to quote coaching greatness like Bill Parcells . . . you are what your record shows.”

And Gil seems to be morphing into Robert DeNiro as well.

Marty looks to be WAY too close to Gil in P1. Is this an interview or a date?

Gil to Marty: You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me?

I suppose begging for Coach Glory in all her Glory would be out of the question….
