Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 10, 2012

Will Steve Boone have a role coaching basketball?

Gosh coach just trying to make the team.

I would bet a Scotish boy moves to town and joins the team and accumulates a lot of fans,and………

It looks like the Milford Barber College is ahead of the curve with that very trendy haircut in P1. I’m waiting for Gil to sport a mohawk after his visit. Maybe the new shooting guard will be a hairstylist from France, who will create drama for the team with his new, edgy stylings

P2- Why is Harvey wearing a net? Did he get stuffed into to basket? P3- What is that foreign object in Gilmeister’s hand?

Gil is livid because he just found out they lost the football title game.

I’m not sure where exactly that kid in P2 got his hand stuck, but I’m hoping it’s not a metaphor for this year’s basketball season. It’s time to make the state playdowns in something. This has been one long dry stretch for the Mudlarks.

Those two guys in panel 2 — #45 and #14 — looks to me like they are on opposite teams. Is Gil saying they should be all lovey-dovey with each other even in practice?

I saw a 7 foot Chinese exchange student in the Bucket last week. Wonder if he’ll play?

That is why they lost, they needed the two football stars to complete the roster.

Thorp hiring local drunk Shooter to be assistant coach, teach picket fence.

@bearwku82P2: Either his hair net slipped, or he just came from soccer goalie practice.P3: Gil is holding his upper denture plate. He whistles better that way.

Hey, jmcx4, at least the soccer team wins.

I’m confused… they are practicing in their game jerseys with mesh? What happened to shirts vs. skins?

The first real coaching I’ve seen Throp do in a long time.

Dang it Lureman! I told a WKU buddy that another gig would open up and he’ll be gone after Spring practice. Bobby has pledged he will be in B.G. 2-3 years and the stands will be full.
