Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 07, 2016

Looks like Heather accidentally put her “mom jeans” in the dryer on high heat. Probably the height of fashion in Iowa though.

Gil wants her to become a football coach, so that he can have even less to do by adding her to his huge staff of unpaid volunteers. Heather, however, wants to major in journalism, since she has her eye on Marty Moon’s job! That’s a tough ambition, Heather – your 150-pound frame may not have the liver for it.

I get it — the incredible insight she showed in suggesting a draw play when the opponent was blitzing should alter the course of her life.

(snorts, laughing) Chip wins the thread.

Gil trying to discourage Heather from becoming an investigative journalist and asking questions about what happened to his kids.

Nice try being current R&W with the student on cell phone in P1, but one phone among 7 students, not even close. Plus it looks like a Galaxy 7!

In all reality , Gil is really creeping me out the way he keeps touching Heather and having private chats with her.Offering to change her mind ,who do you think you are Gil , Charles Manson ?

There’s a lot of winners up here already today. You guys are on fire!

Yeah, Journalism a growing profession these days.

Gil in P1, “Smell my fingers.”

P2, What went on in that after game shower that has Heather wiping off her chin?

P3, Not if Mimi finds out about it you won’t.

Hmmm. an unpaid volunteer assistant high school football coach or a journalist. Either way, she’ll either have to marry a rich guy or get a real job.

P1- Sign Man making an impact this week. Is Milford selling Off! repellant as a fund raiser or a not so subtle message to GilPa?

University of Missouri has a good J-School.

…Gil certainly has been doing a lot of leering lately, haven’t seen him take this kind of personal interest since Wally Lamb!

Mop, hallway looks great as usual!

Speaking of Journalism, where do I go to find the playdown results that Milford clearly isn’t a part of this year?

P-1: No, I meant where your next class is. P-2: That’s Yellow Journalism. National Enquirer is the only paper that hasn’t lost readers. How’s this for a headline? Girl attacked by football team in shower while coach films entire incident P-3: I wouldn’t recommend that, let’s see if I can change your mind. How about: Girl with unusual relationship with own father, likes to dominate young footballers: teaches new techniques, demands obediance?

Sorry Gil,, I have a Nephew who wanted to be a Football Coach, He is Managing a Club in Seattle. Sadly most College Majors do not work out and the student has to take a job in another field.

Okay not sure how tall Gil is supposed to be but let’s assume Heather is under 6’ tall. Wouldn’t she be a little chunkier than she’s drawn if she weighed 150 lbs? Most high school girls are thinner framed at that age aren’t they? Most would be 120 lbs are less even if they were around 5’10".

Does the sign in the background indicate they’ve gone to DEFCOM 1?

If that block that she threw was any indication, Gil’s only move would be to change her mind and go out for Iowa Hawkeye football. Otherwise, he’s on the wrong path here.

@BikeMike: that’s not a cell phone. That’s a recorder, recording the conversation that they’re having (not sure if the recording is for Mimi, Marty, or Holly – stay tuned).

How blatant is GilPa? P1, he towers over her, then P2, he draws closer….Not sure where the left hand is, especially in front of the office (Signman, give Milford a discount please)!

If she follows the journalism path, maybe she can intern with Miss Douchey and ask HS athletes all kinds of busy-body-ish questions.

@T-car: No, that is the sign for the Official State Champion Coach Gil Thorp Gift Shop. Just ask MUT.

I always thought it was rude to ask about a woman’s age and/or weight. This discussion reminds me of “Pitch Black”: How much do you weigh? OOH, OOH, how about Vin Deisel comes to Milford: “Riddick is a Swish”. OK, maybe not Basketball.

Iowa could use a football coach with a little ingenuity.

@MOP: Yep, unfortunately, the millions will be in Venezuelan Bolivars (todays version of the Pre-Euro Polish Zloty)

The pantsuit tells me she’s going to coach more in the Bear Bryant / Tom Landry fashion than in the Jim Harbaugh / Bill Belichick fashion.
