Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 22, 2021

P2: Did Tod Andrews retire? Is Gil wishing the Oakwood assistant well after Tod was just fired for getting creamed? Or did Tod just read “Black Like Me”?

I guess we have to wait a few games before the choking begins. Vito from Goshen has the new parlay : Milford Undefeated/ State Champion, at very long odds. You can be rich by (maybe) Christmas!

P1.5 “Another first down for Milford, another Hoo for me, if any of my three listeners out there are playing the ‘first down game’ along with me, that is now Milford’s fourteenth of the game”

It’s been what, five or six weeks since Heather got the job? You’d think she could afford to buy a new top by now, or at least wash this one between appearances when she’s not digging into Tevin’s choke history

P3.5 “I’ve got to go have me some Blow Top!”

P1 – “…Milford still in the Pro Set…” The Wing-T didn’t even make it through the first game.

Heather looks pretty excited for the upcoming grab.

Heather has been part of the local media for like 10 minutes and is already dismissing Gil

Milford -6 and over 53. I’ll be dining on some steak tonight.

In all reality , Heather just broke a Cardinal Rule of Sports Journalism , you as a reporter don’t call a coach by their first name . It’s always Coach Rockne , Halas , or Ditka not Hey Knute or Hey Papa Bear or Hey Iron Mike , gotta question for you !

Gil putting the brakes on, and they still score 50! When’s the last time that’s happened? Wildcat Maris is buying Moon whiskey shots at the go-go bar to celebrate. State Champion G will sob hysterically when they choke this all away.

Gil can’t compete with the lure of a guy who has three spots on the Monopoly board named after him.

P1- P3- Marty looks mean and sober. What a marathon game. Longest time elapsed game in Valley Conference history. Are Gil and coaching staff gonna feed the kids breakfast? It’s daylight for pete sake! Heather missed her deadline and now joins the coaching staff breaking down film this fine Saturday morning.

Don’t worry Gil I will google some of your past responses to interviews.

“Gil”? Even though Marjie repeatedly asked Heather to call her by her first name, she remained “Ms. Ducey” in Heather’s estimation. Yet Coach Thorp (who was Heather’s own coach, remember!) suddenly becomes “Gil” rather than “Coach”? I suspect Heather lost all respect for him since she beat him by 17 strokes when they played golf with Carter Hendricks.

Well, la di da

So Todd Andrews (former Milford coach who went to Oakwood) has joined Rachel Dolezal and is now trans-racial. Todd has shaved his head too.

Nice blowout win as a set up for Tevin’s choke next game.

I see Randy Edsall must have found a job at Oakwood.

Mo’s diner blog (’Mo Knows") suggests Luhm may have torched his own house for the insurance money! The fire marshal is unsure, as Luhm was nervously nodding his head “yes” while denying he had any pressing money issues. He kept mumbling about choking, but he seemed in good physical shape. A psych eval and a restraining order may be next.

So anyway, I’m approximately 2000 miles away at the moment. I don’t think Vito can reach me yet. Once he’s acting reasonable, I’ll try to talk to him about going double or nothing on the Tevin choking bet, for game number two.

And speaking of number two, quite often Mopped Up Thorp has been compared to a heaping pile of the same.
