Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 22, 2016

So Moose will be Right Guard Extreme? Why is Kaz drinking from Matt’s mug? Will Heather have a say in picking the new tight end? Matt & Kaz look like the new Brawny paper towel spokesboys.

There’s no position with a bigger talent gap? This isn’t sports talk radio. He would say something like, “Losing Pete is a problem. Smith (or Jones or whoever) is pretty lousy.”

So Moose will simultaneously play tight end AND qb…or will Heather? She wouldn’t be the first female QB at the high school level.

As Matt and Kaz start going over the roster, Gil sits quietly by, looking like the kid who didn’t study for the test.

So do Kaz and Dr. Benton Quest convince Gil that Moose should be Milford’s version of Gronk?

In all reality , that’s mighty strong coffee Kaz is drinking .

I think P3 was a quick transition to the discussion of this week’s shower rotation.

I thought Moose was a LB. Or maybe I’m just losing interest.

Moose is correct in P1. I don’t remember any of my friends in school having a picture of Right Guard on their walls either, although some of them should have been using it.

Gil is still not pleased at being forced to show up to his own strip. He got away with slacking for way too long.

Mike Tice made a pretty good living for 14 years at tight end in the NFL after quarterbacking at Maryland. Moose just has to skip that QB step.

Hey, Pelwecki? Max Klinger just called. He says he wants his nose back!

Up yours, Pelwecki! I STILL have my Jerry Kramer poster & (signed) helmet! And I was a big Mike Rabold fan too!

When did Bob Vila land on the coaching staff?

Pelwecki clearly never heard of The Hogs, the legendary Washington Redskins offensive line in the 1980s.

Owen Daniel of the Texans won a title for Naperville Central near Chicago as a HS QB

P-1: On the other hand you could hold up a bank and have your picture on every Post Office wall in the country.P-2: Homage to Dr. Strangelove “We can’t allow a mine shaft gap!”P-3: So “between starter and back-up”? I know Gil thinks coaching is something that’s just automatic but I never saw a shifter using those terms. Maybe Milford was the original site of the GM Tech Center.

Take another look at P-3: I think Matt has his own coffee cup and is about to hold it up to Kaz’s mouth. What is this Brokeback Mudlark?

I thought for sure it was Kaz holding the cup at first, but after studying it closer I guess it could go either way. And speaking of going either way, you can either read today’s Mopped Up Thorp or you can’t. But if you don’t, you’re not my friend.

I’m sure Gil is drifting off somewhere to polish his State Champion trophy. Matt, with his MF cup tilting toward the departing Gil, a more than subtle hint of his opinion of Coach Gil. He’s still pissed that Heather is the OC.

10:48 EDT….. what’s up CJ?
