Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 01, 2019

Revenge is a dish best served cold, much like gazpacho.

I’m thinking 66 is done for the evening.

Eh, if the coach refuses to protect his players, the players have to do so themselves. (Sorry, was a hockey player. Someone takes a run at your goalie, you HAVE to take the bastard out. That’s the code, at any level, rules be damned.)

P1, Showers! On 2!

P2, Gabe Salazar takes a page from True’s playbook and changes Gil’s play call completely.

P3, Taking out cheap shot artists was the best thing about playing OL. I did that more than a few times back in the old days.

Dobby did not mean to kill. Only maim. Or seriously injure.

For which Milford will likely draw the penalty and the cheap-shot Tilden linebacker will get away scot-free…

Haven’t we seen this before? Milford takes shots at the cheap shot artist and stops it. Maybe in this case it leads to a penalty and an ejection. Chance is protected but it costs them the game and any realistic chance at 2nd place. Chet blames Chance for this due to his wimpiness and lack of socializing.

In all reality , when did Milford get the NFL helmets with radio receivers in them , inquiring minds want to know .

As the EMTs work over the fallen Tilden player placing him on a body board Chet calls Hadley and explains that he has a personal injury lawsuit she might want to pursue , in all reality .

I thought yesterday The Mighty Finn would play enforcer. Gabe Salazar and Sam Finn. Best OL tag team since The Troys?

Make way! The Route 66 Express is coming through!

It wasn’t the block, it was the humping that got him ejected

But coach says…Oh right, coach is a moron, sweep right

Oh come on! The guy looks dead,

Payback can be the Sweetest Victory.

Guys, here was a high school football team! Pop’s brother lived in Hickory and we used to go see them some on Friday nights. This was the pre-integration days and this was the Black HS for Hickory back then. Pop and my uncle would go to the games but they wouldn’t take us kids with them so I never actually got to see these kids play back then.

Probably the best HS football team NC has ever had. Something made me think of this the other day and I just wasn’t sure if my memory of what they told me about this team was true or not. It was!

Somewhere, the dirtiest player in the game is smiling. Cheers to #66 Conrad Dobler. Apologies to Ric Flair.

I wonder if Peja Lindholm is in the crowd yelling “Ja! Ja! Sveeeeep!”

These refs are pathetic, ignoring #66’s violent humping of the Tilden player. Well, at least they’re missing calls both ways. And speaking of missing things, you don’t want to miss today’s Mopped Up Thorp!

P-3: Your Waffle House order is up

P1 #66 is the smallest guy in the huddle ….. before the yellow rays.
