P3 In all reality , my family is running the Thorp Family Summer Camp for underprivileged children and couldn’t be here today but they would thank you for giving me this long overdue honor.
P4 “But I understand, Jamie and Keri have all-consuming careers in an Asian apparel manufacturing operation that requires long hours and when Mimi isn’t coaching or playing slap *ss with girls on the team, it’s nearly a full time job supervising pool cleanings at the house.”
Mimi is driving to another state, where she took the softball team for a road game in April and then forgot to bring them back. On her way back to Milford she will buy back the kids from the Oliver Twist Academy, where she dumped then years ago.
I still don’t get how the little flashback story and Gil’s mediocre handling of Tays personal problems as well as minimal coaching in a long-ago football game is relevant to this award.
I’m just curious if this is Coach of the Year for Milford, or Coach of the Year for the Valley Conference, or Coach of the Year for the state of name redacted? And speaking of curious, if you’re curious as to how Mopped Up Thorp handled this, just head straight over to:

“Family?” Are we going to find out what happened to the poor children at long last? (Presuming they weren’t sold into slavery to orcs.)

“My family”? Are they going to admit he has children again?

Really awkward use of “son” there, Gil.

Bombshell! Oh, think of the new plot lines coming from Barajas.

Uh oh, do I smell a Dallas/Newhart twist here? The past 8-10 years without the Thorp kids was all a dream?

For that matter, what happened to Tod Andrews, once Gil’s assistant coach of every sport?

P-1: It only took you 64 years to win coach of the year.
P-2: Gil reads the back of the trophy.
P-3: Ollie’s is having a Christmas in July sale.

Tays story was so boring, that Mimi and the kids left a long time ago.

I’m predicting Keri has pink hair and a nose ring. And Jami has emo hair covering one eye.

Gil is steamed that he had to pay for four rubber-chicken, year-end banquet meals!
