The first twist of the basketball season: Gil shows up to a game! He may have spent the first half poundin’ down shots with that Asian midget (who clearly can’t keep pace with the coach, and is three seconds from hurling…), but whenever he wears his snappy turtleneck number, Gil eventually gets the urge to wander into the gym to hit on all the Milford MILFs.
Then he drunkenly wastes a time out or two, just so he can recite that one line from Hoosiers he learned (incorrectly), pretending to pawn it off as “coaching”. And as always, his gibberish inspires his team to play horribly.

To ring out the horrid waste of time year in Milford, the basketball team loses because of their own lame penalty. The only glimmer of hope: We learn that Steve the Disco referee has a brother: Sprinkler Dance Chet! (Fresh from his stint with the Colts, it seems.) Let’s pray for more Chet in 2011!
Happy New year, everyone!
Can a coach or anybody else on the sideline call time out?
Seems like it should be a player on the floor, but I don’t really know anything about the rules.
The gym teachers I had never even bothered to teach us how to dribble a ball or make a layup.

I’ve never seen a whistle with musical notes coming out of it before. Shouldn’t it be a tweet or something like that. It would be tough to do the sprinkler to just tweet. Chet has got it goin on. Go Chet! Go Chet!

Sprinkler Dance Chet thinks he’s a the disco and is whistling to the tunes. (Yea, I still have my disco whistle!)
It seems like Michah can’t keep up with Gil when it comes to drinkin’! He’s ready to pass out! That Gil’s a pro! (And a lousy coach.)
Happy New Year, Jason and Ned. Just one word for the New Year (well two) Ease Up!

Meanwhile in Today’s strip, Cortez is praying for Gil’s firing, so Milford might win a game or two under new leadership. AMEN!

Sprinkler Dance Chet has replaced his usual game whistle with a My-T-Siren! Go Chet! Go Chet! (insert “cabbage patch” here)

I thought Dwight Howard could jump – This guy in panel 2 today is 2 feet above the rim, and 2 inches from the hoop, and Still misses?? They must be using trampolines, for cryin out loud. Another bad start to a season, and a praying player.

Good one, Dood. I never understood that song, either.
