Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 16, 2023

“With that?” With what? Reminds of the Monty Python bit where the protagonists were facing certain death, pinned in an enclosed area with soldiers running at them with rifles. The next scene was “Scene deleted”, and the next was the heroes saying, “Boy, that was a close one!”

Yeah, but Gil…. You won’t lose a single game

The fist pump family loves Gil

P 2.5 (Gil): “… tension?…what are you talking about?…”

Cami insisted they needed to run the ball, but Luke would not be lectured on that. Since the winning play was a long pass, score one for Luke

P 4 (Gil): “… I might actually have to come to every game…”

So Patrick Finley has taken over for Marjie Ducey. Strange how Marjie’s portfolio plummeted and beach life became a memory. Obviously, the Milford Star couldn’t afford KY & IN Hall of Fame sportswriter Rick Bozich.

P3- Gil needs one of Beth’s best Old Fashioneds as those high school Harry’s The Fist Pump are always ready to celebrate a Milford win.

Gotta hand to Gil. He sure knows how to motivate his team by being pessimistic on TV. I bet they can’t wait to put themselves out there for him!

P3 Gil! Move your big fat head. You’re blocking Fistpump family member making the “I” in O-H-I-O.

panal two looks like gil was moving into kiss paul finlay to show mimi he can swing too

marty moon not in the shot to announce final score something is rotten in milford

gil is mad that the oakwood bar only serves rack liquor

Todd needed to come over and congratulate Gil

Milford (OH) neither had a tight game nor issues with focus last night at Kings Mills last night as the Eagles flew high winning by a lofty score of 40-21, moving to 5-0 on the season and 4-0 and a share of first in the Valley (aka Eastern Cincinnati Conference) The cinderella season is speeding by as the Eagles solidify their hold on the number one seed in the Division 1, Region 4 state playoff computer rankings. As bearwku82 pointed out in an earlier message, Milford came into last night ranked number 10 in the state AP poll. Coupled with top ranked Lakewood St. Edward’s loss at Massillon last night, the Milford is set rise to a loftier place in the poll this week with the rankings shakeup that will result.

Gil may not be much of a coach, but he can do a decent Kubrick Stare.

Gil with a cliffhanger comment. Guess we will have read all year

P2.5- (Gil): “I told Mimi and Ericka to grab another bottle of wine and meet me in the jacuzzi.” (Paul): “No, no, no, I’m talking about the football game……..just how big IS your jacuzzi, Coach?”

L’shana Tova to Kaz, Rachel and all of you who celebrate the holiday.

Fistpump Man and Double Fistpump Man are working overtime today. The game ended 5 minutes ago and they’re still going strong. And speaking of going strong, Mopped Up Thorp is still going strong.
