Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 18, 2016

I need to get a pair of cleats like Austin’s, that’s great elevation on a soggy muddy field. Reminiscent of Sam Bam Cunningham.

Here comes the lightning delay I sort of predicted the other day.

Chip, I remember that you called it. Now, will my call happen? An injury to the QB?

It would be terrible conditions to try and throw in.

“But in the distance…..”Marti Moon the mad announcer is concocting his own brand of mayhem, sure to reign jumbo, alcohol fueled insights on the 9 people still in Gil Thorpe Memorial Stadium and convenience store!J. Beam

In all reality , the lightning storm unleashes it’s fury andJust for fun you complete the thought Remember originality counts .

How will Gil stop the lightning? Maybe have Marty stand on the roof of the press box holding his beer can high to take one for the team? More than likely, the refs will call the game, Milford ties! Tune in tomorrow to find out.

That’s a tiny press box.

Is that the gymnast guy scoring the touchdown? I thought he graduated years ago? “But in the distance…”, is it the aliens? I bet it’s the aliens!

I get it – looking for a more unpredictable way to get the starting QB out of the lineup and open up the opportunity for Moose to get some playing time, instead of a boring injury during a play they’re going to have Hakeem get hit by lightning. That will be cool! And speaking of cool, it would be cool if you’d check out today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

@Mr. Reality: In the distance, the lightening flashes, as “Thor”, Son of Wotan" substitutes for the opposition; or John Travolta breaks out a rendition of Go Greased Lightening. @ Bearwku: or maybe they’re Red Ball Jets http://boomerbabyboomer.blogspot.com/2009/11/run-little-faster-jump-little-higher.html

…perhaps a la’ a scene from Caddyshack where Milford’s starting QB gets hit by lightning, then Pelwicki steps in and works his Joe Kapp-like magic thus cementing his reputation in the rich lore of Milford HS sports.

Red Ball Jets indeed, Pogo, that was high cotton!

Someone should alert the radio broadcaster of the lightning storm. The last thing you would want to have happen is lightning strike the booth and serious harm come to the announcer.

In P-3, under the windows of the pressbox……does that say “MILFDAD” ?

p3 “MILFDAD”????

I hope the Milford press box gets sucked up into a tornado, and Marty Moon gets carried away to the land of Oz.

I’ve read on the Internet (and of course everything on the Internet is true) that if a person survives the strike, it often increases their libido.

@cuttersjock: When I was four years old, my friend’s Grandfather saw me taking a crayon to the back of my US KEDS. He asked me what I was doing and I showed him I had drawn a red ball on the back of the heal. Even at that young age I figured I could gain an edge by mixing the two. Red Balls weren’t high cotton, I made them hybrid.
