The beloved Gil Thorp bonfire tradition has been cancelled forever due to a nationwide wood shortage, which means we must console ourselves with a somewhat more recent and less beloved tradition, the Coach of the Year awards banquet (or “COTY,” as insiders call it). Two years ago Gil won it, and last year he won it again. This year the “most improved” award has gone to Gil’s former nemesis/current assistant, so all signs point to our hero taking the COTY home for a third year in a row. I think it’s nice that they’re letting him give it to himself this year.
I do like the guy in the background of P1 who is deep asleep and snoring. And speaking of snoring, I hope nobody is caught snoring while reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

I’m not a frequent Gil Thorper but “Hey Thanks my Donkey” seems a bit problematic

And here it comes… “…the COTY goes to:… Cami “Toe” Ochoa!…”. Milford never loses. Get that through your head, Kim.

Coach Kim wins the COTY Award, but he’s not there because his wife made him do the dishes and Gil accepts on his behalf.
