Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 01, 2021

P4: “If you’re that clueless about taking a hint, what kind of numbnut does it take to play in your program?”

Nice to meet you Coach,….Uh, what State was that?

P1 GilPa trying to sign in with his elbow!!!?P3 Well DUH! He aint interested in State U. He is going to commit to Grive City College, they run a similar offense to Milford.

In all reality , is Gil wearing Dad jeans , doesn’t Milford have a dress code for its staff , inquiring minds want to know !

Look Mohamed , thanks for dropping in but in all reality I want to go to Last Chance U on Netflix .

P4- Chance: Why would I attend school and play for a university that has baby puke for their school colors?

That’s where Greg Brady went to school!

P 4: sez nothing, turns around, leaves room

Or P 4: looks at Gil “… you and your wife really don’t know how to take a hint, do you?…”

" I respond to cash money Chumpkins. Set up that offshore account, and we’ll talk. Coach, school this guy, willya."

So this guy just shows up and has Chance summoned? Kind of weird.

This guy can take “I’m ignoring you” about as well as those extended auto warranty companies. It’s enough to make one blow-top mad.

Hey Gil and Mimi, here’s an idea- spend this time and energy finding scholarships for the kids who actually WANT to go to college.

No 17-year-old responds to phone calls, letters or e-mails.

Chance replies: When the Head coach is in town, let me know.

“State U? Bah! Let me know when a coach from Tech shows up.”

This arc is as short on plot as a cemetery for midgets.

Uh oh, blowtop a comin".

P4 “When the head coach, president of the athletic boosters and the Name, Image and Likeness coordinator show up, I will respond, in the meantime get out of here, I don’t talk to s**t bird assistant coaches, I’M CHANCE MACY D@MMIT!!! GET OUT NOW OR I’LL GO BLOW TOP MAD!!!”

P 3.5: “…or ASSISTANT coaches…”

Yeah, so what coach who’s doing recruiting pops into a school in the middle of classes/lunch to talk to a player. As opposed to, oh, I don’t know, maybe stopping by the kid’s HOUSE? Especially considering he’s almost definitely a minor and his guardians are not privy to this discussion.

And speaking of privy, you can easily be privy to today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
