Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 27, 2022

Kaz found another job? Or did Milford High just let him know that they won’t renew his contract next semester? And why does that kicker need a nose guard, when he doesn’t have a nose?

The bad news is Coach Kaz is leaving in a year. The good news is that his dialogue has become so obnoxious that we’ll be glad when he finally leaves.

Which one is leaving? How do you know?

It’s the Gil-o-nater. He’s back!

In all reality , Kaz and Kelly the Keyboard Ninja have decided to travel the country in an old VW van they’ve fixed up. Kaz finally realized that he has no coaching future in Milford .

P2.5 Gil: “Oh, I thought you were going to say those awful powder blue and black trimmed uniforms all our opponents wear. They really make it hard to take the other team seriously, they’re hard on the eyes and they only give the snarkers more fodder for incessant wisecracking.”

Kaz leaving, clouds on the horizon, a kicker wearing Nerf cleats . . . looks like it’s going to be a long, tough season for former State Champ and current Coach of the Year Thorp.

Wasn’t football supposed to start 9/26? So we’re now grateful two for Tuesday gives us football and Bobby Kaz? IMO, the worst enemy is NEVER finishing a storyline.

My work here is done. Coach Kaz is back. I’d like to thank the members of the extraction team, who rescued him from the terrorists. It was a tough mission but worth it. (For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, see my comment from yesterday.)

P2: It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas…and we’re wearing sunglasses

When I think of Kaz, “philosophical” is always the first adjective that pops into my head.

I can picture Kaz and Gil in one of those Sonic drive-in commercials, sitting side by side with a shake in one hand and a cheeseburger in the other.

Time indeed. Most HS teams are well into week four of their season and Milford is just starting practice.

Sherlock wishes to award the writer & artist for a double decade song reference in P-2. A tip of the hat to The Chambers Brothers classic & to Bono

Hard to kick when you have your left shoe on your right foot.

Kaz as a legacy character gets to have a retirement year. Just doesn’t disappear like other characters. I see tributes at every school in the valley

Considering that they don’t age, I’d say time is their best friend.

P2: Top Gun pilots Gil and Kaz share a moment before going into battle.

I kinda like Kaz. I’m gonna miss the mullet man.

Please, Please, Please…Mop!!! No one has mentioned who’s talking about missing Kaz!!

P4. Kaz: “Wait, what?”

Janitors Held Hostage, Day 4560. The John Deere 4560 was produced between 1992-1994 and had a list price of $75,000. It boasted 155hp and had a 16-speed partial power shift and 15-speed full power shift.

And no, I will not be continuing this HooDad style update daily. Just coming up with tie-ins to the number would be a nightmare! And speaking of a nightmare, what a nightmare it would be if there was no new Mopped Up Thorp. But luckily, there is a new one…

Glad to see Kaz will finally be graduating high school! Good luck to him!

Kaz got a better offer from BHHL.
