Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 15, 2020

In all reality , I know someone who will get his attention , get Corina in here ,she can handle this. Duh, never thought of that , that’s why you make the big bucks Coach .

You know what else is tricky? Finding a new high school trainer, or any, job at your age. Get him ready!

Imagine if Milford athletics had my full attention.

P2: This year’s Milford Everyman, hard working overachiever who maximizes limited size and talent. P3: This year’s problem child. What’s Doug Guthrie’s distraction? Girls? Computers? In the key playdown game, will “DG” become “DH” — Derek Harper?

2nd place in the conference again; just enough job security for Gil so Mimi doesn’t leave him; nice earring in P2; goes nicely with the Nashville ’burns!

What’s with the 70’s disco shoes Kaz is wearing?

Imagine if coaching had Gil and Kaz’s full attention.

P1, The Milford brain trust. Second in The Valley here we come.

P2, Unlike you, Gil.

P3, Where’s Bobby “Towel Boy” Howry when you need his placeberol, Kaz?

P1 reminds me of a Star Trek episode ( no, Star Trek was not a Quinn Martin Production, but produced by Desilu).

Gil: Bones, What’s Leonard’s prognosis?

Rick (Picard)- Dammit Gil! I’m just a country doctor!

Is that a loofah reference in P3??

P 1.5: “…well, Elvis…..”

I guess this is Rubin’s way of introducing a new, troublesome, character, while giving CK a break

Oh Boy, a story about ADS! Today’s medication is brought to you by the letter R.

Well Kaz has got my attention! Those boots, his sideburns, and that hipster earring all tell a story and somebody is listening!

I miss Dizzy Dean: Guthrie has slud in . .

Coaches Held Hostage Is Over. Kaz resurfaces after being missing since November 11 — 33 days without an appearance is hardly a record but still a good stretch.

P2- WTH does Gil know about someone never being outworked? Thorp has as much work ethic as that stowaway on the Jupiter 2, Dr. Zachary Smith.

And Doug Gutherie was just announced as the star of the next story arc.

I’ll say it again. How about getting a diagnosis from the kid’s doctor?

So Doug Guthrie is this season’s challenge. How will they get him to pay attention? Have CK stuff him with brownies and knock some sense into him? Bring back Bobby Howry to feed him some Placeborall? Something more boring? Probably.

And speaking of boring, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is anything but, as it deviates wildly from the plot.
