Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for February 23, 2015

Now we see why Marty Moon will never make it out of Milford. You’re going to have to do a lot better than that one, Marty.

Number 22 is like “Whaaaa?”

Obviously it’s a psychotropic med after all. P1: “Duuhhh … Water … pretty … duhhhhh …”

I’m going to predict here that Gil is in on the whole placebo thing, he has not been shown in weeks because he doesn’t want to give away the big surprise plot twist.

Look out old Maxy’s back!

And he’s gotta be a hell of a shot judging by how close the ceiling is to the basket.

If this turns out not to be a placebo, you guys are going to have egg all over your faces.

Stay Free Maxi!

Whatever Bobby gave him sure worked – Max is jumping so high that he’s almost hitting his head on the ceiling.

BAAHHAWW! It took that Ham N’ Egger Marty nearly all Winter to emit that rimshot description of Max’ performance. Puns are wild today GilFanatics

Be prepared to have your minds blown, Milford fans. Not to give anything away, but today’s Mopped Up Thorp proposes the idea that maybe Max was given a placebo.

No its not the pills. Max went out and bought a pair of PF FLYERS which mean he can just run faster and jump higher.

P3- Moon’s wardrobe courtesy of the Slim Whitman collection….

tcar-1: I thought that was “Red Ball Jets”! I used to take a red crayon to the back of my “Keds”, just to have an edge.

Did anyone notice? Marty has his silver collar pins on. I bet he’s going to the Cimmeron after the game to two-step and ride the mechanical bull.

What a press area for the Moonster! It looks like a salon and the hair gel is conveniently placed right behind him; or is it an air canister in case /Deflate gate reaches MIlford? Have no idea where that room would be in a gym

P.S. – why don’t his Nike logos match on his collar?

Evidently one of the mice from ‘OVERBOARD’ is in Moonpie’s pocket and doing the announcing.

A little late with the count today — work got in the way — but better late than never. Coaches Held Hostage: Day 26 for Gil and Kaz; Day 60 for Mimi.

In all reality , kudos to Joe the Plumber the water pressure in the drinking fountain is just right .

New Milford ‘fight’ song:.“He’ll take you up, he’ll bring you down,He’ll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.He flies so high, he swoops so low,He knows exactly which way he’s gonna go.”

I agree with the placebo comments. It’s almost certain that’s what’s going on here. Just further illustrates Bobby’s brilliance and his future in coaching.

As you can see by some of the other comments, here we have long memories. Might not recall what we had for lunch, but we know every song, TV show and commercial from the 50’s on.

Mop, that reminds me of The King of Comedy with Marty as Rupert Pupkin.

“Max Bacon is sizzling!”How has ESPN not signed this guy up?
