Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 07, 2015

Ugh. Impertinent vs hackneyed. Where the hell is Gil?

I’ll do the thinnin’ around here, Bobba Looey!

Bobby is Jar Jar Binks

Bobby has a resemblance to that character in American Graffiti — what was his name, Toad? I can just see Bobby hanging around outside a liquor store and waiting for some adult to pay for a bottle of booze.

Time to replace the ball with Bobby and dribble his butt out the door.

A lot of you Thorpalcholics have chimed in as to whom Bobby resembles. Subject for your approval in P2. Youthful Ward Dick Grayson. Holy foul quandary Coach Kaz!

In any of your Thorpaholics’ schools, how fast would this guy be stuffed in a locker? Let’s see what happens when he gets in a game later this season

In all reality, is Kaz going to go whining to Gil about Bobby and will Gil tell Kaz that Bobby has forgoten more about basket ball than you ll ever know so shutup and learn something.

Kaz: We should have Wiley bring the ball up against the press.Bobby: I don’t think that’s a good idea. Ball handling is not Wiley’s role.Kaz: Exactly.

And now Kaz is suggesting that Bobby start taking dope. That is a fine example of leadership.

I still stand with Bobby is ‘Cheeze Whiz’ incarnated by Whigham and Rubin to retaliate against us for all the snide remarks!

What is behind Kaz in P1? It looks like they are on a bus.

Son, what we have here is a failure to communicate.

As the parent of a former ball boy, I can tell you that the efficient fetching of towels is surprisingly integral to a successful sporting event.

And I want to know exactly what Kaz needs the damn towel for. If I were Bobby, I’d ask him.

Well, if you’ve ever read the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you know how important towels are.

Kaz needs the towel to prep for the halftime showers with @cuttersjock

Hey! I was told to lay off the shower references in 2015, but now that you mention it….Mop, it’s there for you like a ripe peach!

As people who enjoy being irreverent and poking fun at things, I hope we’ll all spare a thought for the 12 people in Paris who paid with their lives for it today.

O.K pals and gals, here’s a history lesson. The father of utilizing the towel as an accessory was WKU Hall of Fame Coach E.A. “Ed” Diddle. Coach Diddle actually played football at Centre College with QB Bo McMillan on the team that upset mighty Harvard 6-0 in 1921. Diddle had a Western Kentucky team manager dye the towels red. He would chew, wave, bury his face in it or toss it in the air to signify a good or poor play. The Hilltoppers have proudly waved the red towel for decades.

Egad! Not again!

It looks to me like Bobby is at least interested in coaching, unlike the missing Gil. Has he disappeared to the same place as the kids?
