Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 04, 2024

“Always looking for new assistant coaches. Luke might be rehabbed enough to get the Goshen job if it opens up, but if that happens, there could be a spot for Nonads here at Milford.”

What a scoop Marty, a friendly rivalry between 2 coaches of opposing teams in the same conference! Stop the presses! (or the broadcast or whatever)

Will there be another Liftathon?!? They are wondering that across the nation.

I thought Leo Atazhoon graduted. Care to comment on that coach.

I think there is rivalry between every coach in the conference… I suspect it is written in all of their job contracts. It can range between friendly and hostile but whenever your teams meet you want your players to win, not the other team.

Especially diverse colors and intricate artwork in P2 today. Thanks.

Coach Cami, any more of those ridiculous nursery rhymes planned?

P1- That Hair in a Can Luke bought doesn’t cover the Milford Monk.

P2- Pops Racer is a national correspondent?

P3- Say the word GilPa. Fist Pump Family is ready to take out tough guy Coach Perm.

MY SHOW

“GERADS MUST DIE, Marty! I dream of beheading him in my sleep! And then you.”

“Coach Gerads says he’ll eat dog poop out of a red solo cup if Goshen loses to Milford. Care to comment?”

Maybe it’s time to have Gil send some of the Goshen basketball players over to deliver a punch to the solar plexus to Gerads.

This will be the football season of Goshen vs. Milford? A problem for me with these story arcs is the adults become the teenagers. Of course, we’re witnessing their own pecking order developing down there, too, on the field, during practice. Boys, I’m’a tellin’ ya. Marty Moon is no longer the strawman, providing information for us (“Jefferson Jeffs take a 21 – 17 lead, but Arnie Wilcox with the football, and Coach Thorp who often has a trick play up his sleeve, stayed tuned….”). He – not Gil – becomes too much the link between characters that pop up (although I realize there’s readers who can’t get enough Marty Moon). And, then, once (sort of) resolved, there is nowhere for the adult character to go. They — gasp — just become a Coach. For another school. Ahead, maybe Coach Jeff Jefferson will feel Coach Thorp dissed him on the basketball court. Stay tuned.

pops racer you got a question no im here to due a lube job for cami

coach tays what is the key to milfords season ? all the games are day games so i never miss out on my gentlemans club time

coach thorp what can you tell us about this new player torch ? WHO !!!!!

P 4 (Gil): “…why of course Marty!….let’s just say that I appreciate Coach Gernads and his teams the same way that Notre Dame appreciates Navy…(giggle,,,snort…)….”

That mobile broadcast truck has been here for two days and no sign of Mr Reality. Has anyone seen him?

“How do you feel about Grumpire being assigned to ref all your games this season?”

Hey Pops, stop calling my son Jami, ‘Chim Chim’. Yas, he’s a little monkey boy, but he’s MY little monkey boy.”

“What time will you be serving the AMAAAZING sloppy joes, Gil?”

Wait, wait! Go back! I want to know about the Lift-a-Thon!

P 1.5 “…to embrace failure.”

Still has that little smile on his face.

No one asked the question, I can’t wait to find out. Will Goshen have Carolina Blue or Red and Black uniforms this year?

Henry should ask Marty about sports, he might learn something.

“What sport are the girls playing?” "Do you think the school will win another 5 State Titles this year? “Did they ever find your mother-in-law?”

And speaking of questions, Mopped Up Thorp usually answers all of the pertinent questions.

P2/3- When Marty was talking a fly flew in his mouth.

Glad to see the Time to Make the Donuts guy is moonlighting as a national correspondent… or is that Mr. Wison from Dennis the Menace?

P 4 (Gil): “…well,…since you asked me…..is that the guy who let a couple of high school punks put a beat down on him?…the last time I saw him, he was so inebriated that he could barely stand up…not the kind of guy that should be working kids……did you get all that?…if not, I can repeat it…”

“Well, if history is any guide, he will probably melt down under pressure and get fired, I’ll add him to our coaching staff at half pay, and then I will need to show up to even fewer games…”

But faces aren’t important in football. Or so I’m told.

Wait, they are talking about football, right?
