Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 20, 2022

Of course an Alpha guy like this, a couple years of success and he’ll likely be looking to move up, maybe leave his players at Valley Tech high and dry to jump to a coordinator position at state college?

(Plus if he has attractive college recruits on a team, all the better for an AD/Head Coach who might consider hiring him. At least then he’d be out of Gil’s hair – and a fine coiff it is after all these years, heh.)

… are we going to get this unpleasant mutt as an ongoing foil? Ecchhh.

We won’t have to listen to his mouth until next year, unless of course, like Gil, he coaches every sport.

Arrogant SOB isn’t he??

Sleaze interviewing Slime. And for Christmas, Marty’s put on his Just For Men, Prince Valiant hairdo. Get ready for tomorrow’s mano a mano, captured on WMFD.

Brings new meaning to my dad’s favorite phrase,“some folks are still alive only because they are not worth the jail time.”

AZZZZZHOLLLE! AZZZZZHOLLLE!

In all reality ,Gil let me tell you that 7-2 is not a fantastic record.

HJB has got to bring Milford football into the 21st century. 7-2 will get a team into the playoffs. With a good strength of schedule rating, a team can earn decent tournament seed, which could potentially be translated into a deep run in the playoffs. In 2016 and 2018, teams with regular season records of 5-5 and 6-3 respectively, earned number seven seeds, played their best football of the year and won state titles here in Ohio.

First loss to Valley Tech in a decade, since a 19-17 decision in 2012. (Milford has actually dominated their “big rival” over the years; they’re 42-10-8 against them all time!)

And chins up guys, you did make it to the finals.

We haven’t seen the last of Big Hairy Hand Luke Martinez Hernandez. After all, not only was he a high school football champ, he also was the state champ in wrestling. Not to mention that PAC-12 basketball MVP award. Looking forward to wrestling season and Gil coaching the fellas on the finer points of grabbing and clutching your opponent. And that’s just the loofah drills!

I bet this guy is on everyone’s Christmas card list.

Marty must be the only radio announcer who’s on camera for posterity.

I heard an analyst say the other day that all the coach can do is make the strategic and tactical decisions in a game. It’s up to the players to execute. Maybe this dill hole should think about that.

Are the two kids in P 3 gonna’ cold-cock Luke while he’s still on the telly? That would be better than Keri’s knuckle sandwich to the mean girl.

How many Milford players will enter the transfer portal and switch to Valley Tech?

Like this guy will stick around the same HS like Gil did for 40 years.

Next year to get away from this obnoxious coach his QB transfers to Milford to get some recognition

Who’s the doosh at Valley Tech that hired this a-hole?

Coach of the Year 2023 ladies and gentlemen!

P 3 should really show VT players giving him a “..check out the b***s on this guy…” look

P-1: Coach Thorp channels Anna from the King & I as he break out into the song: I whistle a Happy Tune.

P-2: As a counter, Coach Luke goes to Peter Pan and sings: I gotta crow!

P-3: Two VT players gain valuable insight for their Term papers comparing and contrasting Buddhism and Scientology.

Sober Marty Moon is the voice of reason. First he tells Martinez that Gil would never cheat on Mimi, and now he reminds him that the players, not the coach, should be front and center. You’ve come a long way from being golf-hustled by Ben Franklin, Marty

All will be revealed.

Hmmm….now that Coach A**hole has beaten the mighty Gil Thorp, he’s lost his motivation and drive to succeed. I predict a slow descent into depression, substance abuse, and a paunch. Marty will eventually pick him up and get him into AA.

I’m waiting for the Sheriff to tell Gil to go get his shine box…

If you believe in karma you will see the first skunking in state playoff history.

Is Gil gonna grow a pair and kick his azz!

P 4 (Moon): “…coach!…has anyone ever called you a horse’s a$$?…”

P1- #11 looks like he’s about 6’6". Why wasn’t he in the game?

Hey, who’s the female camera operator in P2? Is she hot? I’ll bet she’s hot! And speaking of hot, you can now read today’s Mopped Up Thorp, hot off the presses.
