9/12/11
Oh my God. It turns out the twist is that Brody D. Abro, (D Student), has the power to destroy NFL players just by thinking about them. (Poor Nate Kaeding’s knee didn’t even have a chance.) Please, Brody, keep your crazy savant brain off my fantasy team.
His mother, either horrified or oblivious to her son’s eerie powers, has now resorted to carrying a football around in a Baby Björn.

So why does Kaz care? And more importantly, will it result in punching? But most importantly, what’s going on with those shadowy freaks in the third panel? Did Cully crawl back out of the swamp to fill the team holes with his scoliosis-riddled spine and stubby half-man arms?

9/12 panel 3 and 9/13 panel 1 are the same conversation.
But how much time has passed until 9/13 panel 2?
Gil is the AD, but this is still high school.
He doesn’t even talk to Principled Pearl or run a background check.

Wait until DD makes a move on old man Kaz’ sometimes girlfriend, Kelly!
Or will this be another “Tod Andrews” storyline: young athletic assistant works for Gil, then is hired away to run competing program, and is rarely heard from again. Goodbye, Kaz – smell you later!

I’m predicting a Kaz-Kelly-Velma menage à Milford.
Where’s Marty Moon? This chud storyline isn’t going to hronk foozle tink by itself.

“We have to many holes…” – - – well, ya got that right!

“too”, yea je sais .. finger fumble strikes me down
Comment by semperfi4evr — September 13, 2011 @ 7:58 am
Gil fills a coaching vacancy, and Kaz gets his leopard-skin thong in a twist?
“Too many holes…” Deke’s assignment: lock in on one of ‘em.
And Gil’s being just a touch transparent: “Help him with your names.” Implying, of course, that Gil knows all their names. Not bloody likely!

Panel two would have been better if Gil had help up his “D” and white picket fence props.
Hey, Kaz, maybe Goshen’s hiring. Funny, you don’t hear a peep out of Matt Shaw about the vacancy and the new hire. Do they keep him in cryo-stasis through most of the year?
We’ll have a new chant from Milford’s fans for Marty to slur about: “Deke-fense (thump, thump), Deke-fense (thump, thump).”

Hmm. Kaz is clearly upset with this new hire. And as others have pointed out, all Gil appears to know about him is based on one day’s trial and the word of that blowhard from the boosters club. So, will Kaz learn to trust Gil’s instincts, or will we find some disturbing truth about Deke Davey? That name sounds too close to Dirk DIggles for me.

And why all of a sudden is Gil calling Kaz “Bob”?
Comment by Gil'sBarber — September 13, 2011 @ 5:30 pm
the reason kaz may be upset is he shot out his liver ? his only qualification was being gils drinking partner . never trust a guy who wears a thumb ring and sells hair products on the side .maybe if he goes downtown with marcy deucy they can find dirt on deke davey . plus gil stop calling him bob its either kaz or gent .foozle ya

Like you Jason, I see Kaz punching DIck Dewey into the the next zip code. Kaz is like a jealous wife, vyng for uncaring husband Gil’s attention.. Give it up Kaz. Gil’s first love is Jim Beam.
Gil, we do have many holes in the field and you’re one of them.
OMG Velma, the ’40′s called, they want their dress back. Brody Jenner’s mom makes Alpo’s mom look like Charlize Theron!

Poor Kaeding, you hate to see a guy go down for the season on the opening kickoff. OTOH seeing Kaz take Deke out for the season may be entertaining.
It may be interesting to see how Kaz’s (Kaz’?) suspicions play out, or whether Gil will find success with the DC he was pressured into hiring by some self-important middle-aged booster…. oh who am I kidding? There’ll be some lame-o exposition that puts all the pieces in place just in time for Thanksgiving. Milford will blow many midseason games and miss the playdowns while winning the season finale and creating false hope for next year.

Is Gil’s “Climb off the ledge” the new “Ease up”?
Comment by J.D. Springer — September 14, 2011 @ 4:24 pm
Also, every time we saw Brody kicking in the earlier strips, he was holding the ball. Is he drop-kicking field goals? Is he going to go all Doug Flutie on us? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Jsz-fSNd4)
Comment by J.D. Springer — September 14, 2011 @ 4:26 pm
Regina, you are a genius. I mean we all know this– I just want to point it out. The real story here is this creepy triangle between Gil, Kaz, and Dirk Diggles, and the nature of Kaz’s bad feeling about it.
Comment by vaganova — September 14, 2011 @ 5:05 pm
Thanks vaganova. But the real geniuses are Chief Whigham and Neal. We keep coming back for more and more punishment.
Comment by Regina — September 14, 2011 @ 7:00 pm
J.D. Springer @14: Wouldn’t surprise me. Gil’s just the type to pull out the old single wing or some other trick formation from the days of leather helmets.
