Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for September 28, 2022

Dang it. I hate when harem romance stories have a clear front-runner.

“The other side”? Like from beyond the grave?? Ooh, this strip has taken a turn!

OMG — Kaz defecting to Tech? For just a lateral move to another coordinator job? SHAME!

Actually, this is peculiar. What school hires a coach a YEAR in advance? (Heck, in these parts, most teachers get pinkslipped in June and only get rehired on a year-to-year basis.)

When did High Schools start replacing practice jersey numbers with the school logo?

BHHLHM must be one persuasive dude, having had the Valley Tech school colors changed from lavender and black to teal(?) and gold in seventy-five days or so.

Seems that Gil and Kaz must have been to a Joni Mitchell tribute concert. They’re looking at football from Both Sides Now.

Not to be outdone, the Gil and Kaz love fest, known as The Last Soapy Sessions, includes Judy Collins and The Doors gigs as Kaz breaks on through to the other side.

Kaz will join Ozzy by seeing Gil on the Other Side.

We need at least one more day to establish that it’s Kaz’s last year with Gil.

Sherlock’s head is spinning today! P-1: Disco Donna Summers; P-2 Frank Sinatra & Jim Morrison; referring back to yesterday’s Time comment, The Rolling Stones make a rare appearance while Luke runs laps with hi new team

Not gonna lie…I am gonna miss Coach Kaz.

Might as well throw terminal illness into the mix of storylines

P 2 (player thought bubble): “…I can’t see any-thing with all this loose body hair flyin’ all over the place…”

P 4: “…looks like the players are fine without us so let’s go back to my place and fire up the bar-b-que and have a few cold ones…”

This Big Hairy Hand Luke Hernnandez Martinez is one bad*ss hombre. First he gets right into Gil’s grill calls him out then slanders the Thorp reputation on Marty Moon’s podcast. Next he abducted Jami and Keri. Now we learn he has lured Kaz to work with him by tripling his pizza coupon pay and having it written into Kaz’s contract that he won’t have to spell big words like “cat” or “dog” or know where countries with hard to spell or pronounce name like “Azerbaijan” are located. Hey Kaz! Hey Kool-Aid! Oh yeah.

And now, here is the coaching staff of Valley Tech

Luke Martinez – Head CoachKyle Tatum – Defensive Coordinator (They want that (censored) ball)Adam Mundy – Offensive CoordinatorFrank Mello – Quarterbacks CoachBobby Loft – Special Teams

God help Milford.

Random bold longshot prediction. Kaz is not going to VT. Seems unlikely, why wait a year to join BHHL’s staff? And there is no head coaching vacancy there. My low percentage guess is he is going to replace fellow Milford alum coach Tod Andrews at Oakwood! Which also means that Gil needs a new right-hand man. And I think we all know who he has in mind for that – yours truly!

And speaking of truly, I can truly tell you that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is now online.

Is it just me but isn’t this arc jumping all over the place?

Definitely Shark jumping all over the place!
