Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 05, 2022

All this drama….to switch to guard? Maddie Bloom did make that wild pass though, so makes sense. Still, appears selfish to me.

Is she a great outside shooter? A great ball-handler? Switching from forward to point or shooting guard at the end of her last season won’t change her skill set.

She looks about 6’4" in P1.

P 4: “…Ask coach thorp to do what? Bribe the coast guard or wherever it is you’re going?…”

…and no need to start saluting yet

She’s already got the ramrod posture she’ll need at the academy.

P1- How can Cathy enjoy her Subwich knock off with Cappy Yappy incessantly talking teen angst?

P2- The sooner this future cadet straps on some 1970’s ankle weights and goes swimming in Milford Town Park City Lake, the sooner we can enjoy Mudlark baseball and softball.

Uh, ask which Coach Thorp what? Maybe ask Coach Kaz for some ‘roids and HGH to bulk up and maybe grow a few inches. Either way, this bi-otch can’t get out of this story soon enough. She actually is making talking peacocks and rally hippos sound good.

Captain Selfish strikes again! Gonna ask Coach Thorp to move her to a different position, no matter the impact on the team.

In all reality , I’m going to ask Coach Mimi to ask her husband if I can practice and play with the boys . It will toughen me and my game up. Gil will be scrambling for players when half of his team gets suspended and I’ll be ready .

Can this story arc get any weirder and off topic? What is the plot line here anyway?

Cliffhanger!!! Who cares??

P4 Cathy: “Ask coach Thorp what?”

Talley(Ho): “Ask her if she would mind if I changed my name to “Me-Me”.

So, she wants to switch positions (while taking away playing time from Cindy Brady) late in the season, and late in her playing career thinking it will get her a spot on the Academy team? Another Rubin swing and miss

P-4: “You better be specific if you’re going to ask Mimi if she would help you switch. You don’t want her to think like these bloggers would.”

A long time ago Gil Thorp was interesting. Now it is just silly

“If I can take Pranit’s place on the boy’s team as the three-point specialist!”

“Mr. Don Vito asked me to ask Coach Thorp if I could pick up the payments since Prank is in the Witness Protection program.”

“Actually, Bestie, you could make it as a 5-foot-10 forward if you were just better at it. Your problem isn’t that you’re too short, it’s just that you really suck at basketball. Now, let’s go split a can of hard seltzer and practice some ultimate frisbee!”

Ooh, Ultimate Frisbee reference! Do I smell a crossover with Mary Worth coming? As our trainer would say, make it so!

So she’s going to ask to play guard? That makes sense, switch to a position you’ve never played midseason. And, by the way, brainiac, I just googled the Air Force women’s team’s roster. The women listed at forward, they range from 5’7" to 6’0", so actually, yeah, you’d have no problem making it as a 5’10" forward. Nobody on that team is taller than 6’0". (And nobody is listed as a center, so you’re no more than 2" shorter than anyone on the team, and taller than most.) So unless you’re trying to make the men’s team, shut your Jiffy-Tart hole and start playing better. And speaking of better, what could be better than reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp?

When you get there just try out for guard

“If I can quit the team and workout with a private coach who knows something about basketball…”

I want the to get back to the Pranit Smith/RICO storyline.

Isn’t it all about the game…depending on which game?

She wants to play guard.
