Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 06, 2011

Let’s try the swim team!

Now Wildcat is showing up in Gil’s office. Gil doesn’t seem the least bit surprised by it, either. Is it me, or does Wildcat look bombed?

Wildcat reminds me of the guy on Friday Night Lights who was always hounding the coach.

You called it lureman, beat me to it. Mildcat- The Old High School Harry complete with a bionic right eye for talent.

I thought the soccer coach was Johnny Chan, who is now reduced to doing V-8 commercials . Is Gil going through his files to find a guy with a good leg who just got out of jail for pushing ’roids in study hall? Did he check the Debate team?

I think the soccer coach and Wildcat have a side bet going to see if both of their hands are actually bigger than Gil’s head.

At least there is one coach at the school who wins championships. Let’s switch to a soccer storyline – the football season is toast.

How can the football team be 0-2, yet the soccer team be in position to “win the conference?” Did their season start back in August?

Cliff, the heck with the swim team they would have to do it with goggles. Let’s try the Debate Team.

The audacity of Wildcat barging into Gil’s office! He must know Gil’s reputation of running Milford from behind the scenes using organized crime minions as his “enforcers”. Doesn’t he know his head could end up on a pike, or else he could be taking up residence in Carbone Cave with a lime covering?

And what’s this “win the conference” bullstuff? Isn’t it supposed to be “win The Valley?”

The soccer team is successful because every player on it believes in the team motto: Bend It Like Thorp.

Hope Wildcat can get to the trainer for that crink in his neck. Note “We” have to do something. It’s his job as much as Gil’s I guess. Put him in his place tomorrow Gil!

P3: Wildcat actually has a paw….must not be “declawed” since he is giving himself a neck scratch

Between his drinking, hanging out at practice, and barging into Gil’s office, how long before Wildcat’s plumbing biz goes down the toilet?

High School soccer does start in August in Michigan, one more week of regular season.

Kentucky started August 15th. The state playoffs start October 8th – 16th. Tennessee doesn’t start their soccer seasons till around March. Strange how it varies from state to state.
