Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 06, 2016

Sulphur Tors 4 time Louisiana state champions according to their Twitter page @SulphurTor.

I think there are some recorded TV movies on VHS in my parents’ collection that still have commercials.

Why do teams get named after natural disasters, anyway? Earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones, tornadoes — imagine having relatives killed by a hurricane and rooting for the Miami Hurricanes. Seems kind of strange.

Ortiz looks fully clothed to me.

done that a few times especially if i’m not paying attention like during my NASCAR races

In all reality, in re team names how about the Freeport Pretzels , the Marco Polos, Pekin Chinks changed to Dragons and my favorite the Vandalia Orphans .

My specialty is watching a show OnDemand and when a commercial comes on, pushing the Last button to watch another channel. It takes me about 5 pushes or 10 seconds to figure out why that doesn’t work.

Marty appears to be missing something very special to him in P1. Yep, his sippy cup.

That’s a pretty skinny football Max has snagged there in P2. Check the pressure.

So are they at The Bucket in P3 or is Moose bailing out of school at lunch time to rest up for a hot lesson from Heather?

If I’m doing something else & only half watching- a lot of programs only need that much attention- I might forget to skip the commercials. Sometimes I can’t pause what I’m doing. Actually I have caught a few really cute commercials.

Max “Just throw me the damn ball. I’ll show you how to make things happen.”

P3- After a steamy soapy shower session, Moose is in no mood to participate in the post game sausage fest.

One day closer to that bonfire… Passing while up by 6 in the 4th clearly highlights the weakness of Milford’s running game.

Marty Moon was least seen celebrating the victory by downing several hurricanes at Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans

I do that sometimes.

GUILTY!!!!!

Also ‘Guilty’ – :D

We don’t have on demand, just an antennae on the roof. The “mute” button is about worn out.

Hmm, wonder if the writers had two prepared outcomes from yesterday’s setup and waited to see what we were predicting here before deciding which one to run today? I’ll bet that’s it, they’re getting sneakier to throw us off. And speaking of sneaking, I snuck today’s Mopped Up Thorp online when you weren’t looking.

Yup that’s me! LOL

Football lesson? Isn’t that just practice?

At least Milford now has a reason to play schools outside their state.

To everyone on the southeast coast- stay safe.

We used to have the good ol’ Fighting Christians at Elon University, before they got changed to The Phoenix.

@chip hiltonIn all reality, you are correct

Detroit proudly has a team called the Jungleers. My school was the Shamrocks. How’s that for a deathly threat? According to Webster: tor |tôr| noun – a hill or rocky peak.ORIGINOld English torr, perhaps of Celtic origin and related to Welsh tor ‘belly’ and Scottish Gaelic tòrr ‘bulging hill.’ OK Thorpers, let the word play begin!

Hey, JPuzzleWhiz: Every use Tor in one of your crosswords?

Still waiting for a team to be called the Dachshunds

Don’t forget the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs.

“Doctor, is WONDERDRUG right for me? Because I want to play with the puppies and frolic with my grandchildren….or is it the other way around?

A couple to strike fear into the hearts of their opponents: The Presbyterian College Blue Hose and The Evansville Purple Aces.

It is kind of funny… but my wife is the owner of the remote when we watch tv (long story)… but she has a strong tendency to FORGET to fast forward through DVR recorded shows we tape…. and then consistently will TRY to fast forward through shows we end up watching on OnDemand (in our area, OnDemand never lets you FF).

P-3: No wonder Moose had trouble with the hand off. Try duplicating his raised hand. Either he has two thumbs on his hand or his thumb and pinkie are on the wrong side of his mit. If his pinkie is where his thumb belongs, he must have suffered a severe injury, cutting his misplaced Pinky off at the ky.

I still like Joe Public, a soccer team from Trinidad and Tobago. And, of course, the Hartlepool Monkey Hangers.

A couple other good nicknames, Akron Zips and the Scottsdale Community College Artichokes

I am partial to the Hofstra Flying Dutchmen. Never been a dike they couldn’t thwart by raising a finger.

Ridiculous names continuum: I’ve had season tickets for two decades for the Jacksonville Jaguars. As if they are somehow in abundance in Florida. It shows what a rich man’s toy sports really is. Naming a team for the sake of alliteration.

Of course there’s the reverse where you are watching in real time and forget, until you try to fast-forward through the muck.

Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers. No joke. That is why they are built like they are so they can get into the holes. They have big teeth for their size too. That is also why they have that ‘doxie attitude’.

What a load of bs. This is an old fart not a plugger!
