Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 02, 2021

Man, the gym must be at double capacity. It’s impossible for the players to inbound the ball. I hope the fire marshal doesn’t show up.

Gil is mad, but his players are downright despondent. I think they’re going to cry after one half. This is going to be a long season.

And speaking of long, you dont have to wait long to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp. It’s already online.

P1: From downtown…YES!

Anybody feeling like hustling tonight, in all reality ? Nope, not me, naw, no way , no thank you , can I think about it, sorry brother , no gracious , maybe , not happenin tonight dude ,Ok then fellas that confirmed my thoughts .

Gil is giving them tough love. Please, please, please don’t make part-time player who’d rather be racing the spark-plug the team needs. I’d rather see CK brought in from the girl’s team.

“Anybody feel like coaching tonight?”

“Or are you saving your energy for some other game?”

Tom Muench raises his hand: “Well, Doug’s Go-kart racing sorts kind of interesting!”

Whatta buncha mopes.

Vic Douchette’s public announcing brings them back in the second half. But what will he do when they play a road game??

If Gil’s challenge in P3 isn’t an open invitation to snark, I don’t know what is. More proof Neal & Rod are aware of our existence. Right Vic?

P1, Must be free admission night with the crowd that’s packed in there. Did the girl’s volleyball team show up to watch?

P2, The evolution of the Milford basketball team.

P3, C’mon, Gil you know as well as the rest of us that they’re saving their energy for that first shower ceremony of the season.

P-1: As previously mentioned, the kids can’t wait for the 1st Sock Hop of the season

P-2: The team gets really depressed by the mere thought of listening to Gil during Half-Time

P-3: Geretol is freely dispensed to address Iron poor blood

P-4: VD lifts the team to new heights by blaring Sweet Georgia Brown over his PA

“Anybody feel like hustling tonight?”

“Does Corinna count? She’s made something like $200 already tonight in the parking lot.”

Darn, I wish I would have thought of that for MUT.

Rams lead by 2 touchdowns.

Surprised they made both extra points; that’s not always a given in high school football. Maybe they missed one and converted the 2-point play.

British invasion rockers have taken over the crowd in panel one. Head bad boy Mick himself is seated in the upper right hand corner. Also sighted in the crowd are Eric Burdon and Chad Stuart.
