    “completes the catch” = “catches the ball”

    That coach with the silly hat looks constipated.

    “We haven’t been able to stop their running game!”

    “Right, so obviously they’re going to pass!”

    Well, while doing the unexpected can be a valuable tool in the game, if you’ve got a tool that’s working fine you keep using it. If it ain’t broke, don’t try and fix it.

    Of course VT hasn’t been able to counter the Milford runs, coach BHHLHM has no idea that Gil has deployed his secret weapon for this game – AMAAAAZZING sloppy joes!

    Coach BHHLHM’s hat mostly looks stupid on him and out of place. That or he’s taking this “sheriff” persona thing way too seriously. Go for three Gil.

    Hey, where can I get one of those spiffy new VT two tone jackets? At www.bhhlmerch.com perhaps? Beats the bejeezus out of those State Champion Thorp coffee mugs at www.cotygilthorp.com.

    Marty’s a firm believer in the saying “can’t tell the players without a scorecard.”

    No headsets, goofball hat. Does he shoot his kiddie cap gun six shooters when VT scores? Other Valley coaches must love having this guy around for comic relief. He makes Marty a beloved member of Milford Masterpiece Theatre.

    P-1: Using his brilliant insight, Luke figures with only two options, Gil will pass with time running out.

    P-2: We discover Milford’s QB is a Mouth Breather.

    P-3: Hmm, VT hasn’t been able to counter the run game. I wonder what trickery Gil will use going for 2 (and will Tobias be selling anything tomorrow)?

    Oh wait, now I get it. The Milford QB passed to no. 89 but overthrew him, so Rodney Barnes (no. 87, as we see clearly on his jersey in P. 3) rushed in and completed the catch! Rodney had been sitting on the bench until the ball sailed over no. 89’s head, so when he dashed in from the sidelines there was no one covering him. Sure-fire TD, the Thorp way!

    But wait, the play is called back. Milford is penalized because the quarterback wasn’t wearing his mouth guard.

    NO. 89 Rodney Barnes does Fist Pump Family proud as he takes it to the house!

    So Gil goes for two to try and win the game. My prediction, BHHL’s defense stops the conversion and Valley Tech wins. BHHL gets super obnoxious about being the “new sheriff” in town, despite the fact that he won on a 50/50 play so really nobody outplayed the other. And speaking of the other, the other version of these events can be found on Mopped Up Thorp.

    Gil runs the same play that Coach Hairy stopped 30 years ago

    So on one side of the field is seating for thousands with a high tech luxury press box at the top. And on the other three sides is a four foot high chain link fence. Did they run out of money?

    So the coaches are having a discussion on the sidelines while the game is going on and the final play is being called. The head coach is deferring to the Assistant Coach for a discussion while Milford comes up to the ball.

    Yeah, that happens on the Sidelines during the last play of the game

    Dang, I just went back and “fixed” today’s MUT. Did not change any dialog but realized I forgot to have Luke shedding as usual. It’s been so long that he was close enough to add that detail I forgot.

    P4 Coach BHHLHM: “Coach Kim, you’re fired.”
