Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for August 12, 2017

Jaquan, I think it’s safe to pull the hood off your head at this point.

Ah yes the return of the flat palm, Hai Karate chop hand gesture that can only be observed in Milford.

I suppose Jaquan means he wishes he played football, but the implication is that he wishes basketball coached Heather.

I was hoping Kevin would be patting Heather’s butt today. or maybe he is worried she would react like Taylor Swift!!! Do Jaquan know how to speak???

Where will they have their goodbye meal….let’s bring the Bucket back into the picture!!!

In all reality , I see a celebrity football game on the horizon . JQ gets his wish to play football and Old Dad gets a courtesy play . For those of you heading to Milford Downs today for the MILFORD Million leave early , traffic will be heavy .

After watching the 7 on 7 game Jaquan decides to forgo his basketball career and switch to football to save his knee (because knees don’t get hurt in football). To get ready for a pro tryout he enlists the help of Coach Heather (since Gil is nowhere to be found).

No, Jaquan, you’re hoodie is on right-way front.

Pool. Pedro. Mimosas. Mojitoes. Mimi. Marty. Milford Downs. I digress. That legendary State Champ Coach is diagramming plays featuring the passing combo of RVA to Double A. It could happen.

Maybe he wishes she’d pat his backside, or maybe the reverse

Ina town lost in the 50’s, inter-racial dating of a girl just out of high school by a 30 something, what could go wrong?

Rut roh, the plot just thickened. Jaquan, remember the formula: Half your age plus 7. That means she is out of bounds for you.

No Heather you can’t double dribble in basketball.

P1, A natural B cup? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, Jaquan. It’s the junk in the trunk that really counts, right?

If you look at the color version of P2, Trey, the white Tall Man, is the exact same color as Jaquan, the black Tall Man.

I’m pretty sure Jaquan has never thought of Heather as just a coach. Hey, go for it big guy, when you’re 100, she’ll be 88. It won’t seem all that inappropriate then.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ………………

Ah, yes! Remember, Jaquan was attracted to her because she could communicate. As he told Trey: “Look at the syntax on that girl! She has a vocabulary you could do Shakespeare from! Her grammar is really tight! I bet those prepositional phrases would look good in 3 inch heels!”
