9/8/10
Gil: Shows what I know!
Kaz: Yep, nothin’ about nothin’.
Gil: Have you noticed the tight jeans our male students seem to wear?
Kaz: Ummm, no. I’m gonna go do some coaching for a few minutes, since we haven’t found any hobos or janitors to do it yet…
Later:
Kaz: Hey, Cody, remember: you’re only supposed to hit a guy after he bad-mouths Gail Martin.
9/9/10
Gil: Both elbows up, Miles! That’s the way they know you’re surrendering…
Later:
Coach Shaw: Miles Paris seems steadier than Derek Tolan.
Gil: Good point, Bob.
Kaz: I didn’t say anything. I don’t even know who those people are.
Shaw: I said that, sir.
Gil: Oh, well then good point, Skippy, the angry janitor.
Skippy: Quiet, whoever you are. Skippy’s busy readin’.
Shaw: Hey, Gil, it was me. I knew the players names and had an opinion. Please… praise me?
Gil: Well if nobody takes credit…It must have been me who knew this stuff. Good point, me. Hey who let that bearded drifter in here?
Shaw: [sobs quietly.]
9/10/10
Gil: What’s going on? What are those guys doing on the field?
Some new hobo coach: It’s called a ‘scrimmage.’ It’s part of practice.
Gil: I don’t know what any of those words are, so I’m just going to drink the rest of your Mad Dog.
Some new hobo coach: That’s fine. As long as I can still sleep in Coach Shaw’s car like you promised.
Gil: Yeah, I don’t even know who that is, so sure, why not?
9/11/10
Gil: Where do you think Cody Exner picked up such bad grammar?
Kaz: ME NOT KNOW! KAZ USE MUSCLES TO TEACH! ME LIKE USE MUSCLES!
Gil: And they wonder why I drink all the time…
I am like so focused on you guys at this blog. We’re like a team. Got it? Now somebody pass me the Nut Boys.

Gil: But the question is, Bob, can we keep him upright?
Kaz: Probably not. He got into your stash of Rolling Rock last night.
Gil: NOOOOOO! He’s off the team!! And he owes me $5.99!

In panel 4: Why is Cody pounding a “M” on top of Marcus’ helmet?
Damn, Gil is so clueless…remember when he said way back when (when he was being drawn by a new guy) that he would be more involved with his charges after he found out Curley Horse was running a whole household by himself? That sure went out the window fast after a few Old Fashions and Ripple.
In strip two is Kaz doing the Tango or getting frisky with one of his players?

Cody! Marcus! Leave the QB alone and knock the s*** out of he who must not be named!
After 9-10, I thought the QB would get knocked out, Milford would be using its weaker QB, and that would force Gil to reach into his bag of tricks, such as using the dreaded Wing-T or, even worse, having to resort to the Wildcat with HWMNBN getting the ball directly – and more space in this story!
Prediction: Cody Exner – great year – scholarship (with Gil’s help) – college summer school and then full ride at college – no foster parent problem.
I wonder how the boy’s golf team is doing?

Does Coach Shaw ever appear in this strip other than in the fall storyline? Here’s to you Mr. Not-Memorable Comic Strip Character Actor Guy. You show up on the set on time and with your one line of dialog memorized, you quickly deliver it and leave. Your job is finished until a year from now. You’re no Clambake, Mr. Baskt, Lanny Penn or Gail Martin. You’re just Mr. Not-Memorable Comic Strip Character Actor Guy …
Notice how Skippy, Kaz and Gil all have coffee cups (Gil’s has a “G” on it) while Mr. Not-Memorable Comic Strip Character Actor Guy has none.

Marjie Ducey would also fit that description, but she appears slightly more often – 6 times since last fall, and twice in 14 days.

Kaz-You think that maybe Cody is so focused on team-
Gil-For lack of a permanent one at home? Makes sense.
Kaz-Actually I what I was going to say was since he’s so focused maybe we could let him coach the team this year and we could head to PUB.

What bad grammar? “me and Marcus” is correct. He wouldn’t have let “I” be beaten without Marcus, would he?
Comment by David Black — September 11, 2010 @ 7:17 pm
There’s no “I” in team. But “me” is in team. So scratch that little pearl of wisdom. There’s an “I” in sh*tty, Gil, Milford, and Rubin though.

[...] remember that thing about Miles Paris being steadier than Derek Tolan? Should we reassess [...]
