Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 25, 2023

End of incredible game, yet able to hear coach talk while back turned, walking away. A well-mannered storm-the-field crowd.

Thank you Coach Doyle. You’re welcome Coach Ochoa. You too Coach Thorp. Real people don’t address other people that way. And air lifting a HS player with a broken leg is so over the top as to be beyond belief. Med-Flight wouldn’t put a chopper in the air for an injury like that. Local EMS wouldn’t think of calling for one. Guarantee the insurance company isn’t going to foot the $13,000 Med-Flight bill. Yup. That’s the average bill for a medical evac helicopter.

Are you…flirting with me, Coach Kwan? (bats eyelashes)

P2- All’s well that ends well with a fist pump celebration. Who’s shaking Steve Boone’s hand?

“And then depression set in.” John Winger

P3: Henry and Rod’s nod to the great Casablanca. “Coach Kim, I think this the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Pedro is on the IR list and is persona non grata in the Thorp household and hopefully BHL will fade into the background as well.

Gil should be upset

Valley Tech didn’t allow him to “Welcome Failure”

P 3 (Gil thought bubble): “….what a pud…”

Gil only shakes hands with head coaches, not assistants.

dam i lose the game and jun jun is gonna make me wash dishes my life is horrible

nice handshake cami you wanna go get a box of wine and have some real fun

gil thinks i better get home fast before jami kills himself trying to blow up one of those inflatable lawn decorations by mouth

P1- It’s 40 degrees outside but Cami thinks she’s Bud Grant.

P2- “…and it would have been even better if your best player hadn’t knocked up my daughter.”

P3- Losing coach has to clean up all the left over equipment.

We interrupt this train wreck to bring you the following message:Go Blue!Carry on.

“It would have been better if your best player didn’t get injured.” Well, yeah, his backup threw an interception (possibly a pick-six), didn’t seem to ever score, and the only reason Gil won was on a miracle Hail Mary at the end. So, Gil, you kind of sucked after the injury. And speaking of sucking, Mopped Up Thorp rarely sucks.

At least the final score was posted…

And in college football news, Gil has agreed to take his “ welcome failure” strategy to Auburn to help them absorb blown games better in the future
