Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 14, 2011

Marty shrewdly points out that Milford only has 10 players.

The first panel features the "planting the flag on Iwo Jima’ defensive drill.

Wonder if any of those guys in P#1 are available for my fantasy team?

P1: Looks like a thin O line. P2: Deke is Gil’s “Right Hand” man. P3: Marty as Mr. Obvious.

P3: “I’d rather focus on what we do have, Marty.”P4: Marty stands there holding the microphone while Gil says absolutely nothing.

Is that a microphone or a pocket harmonica Marty is waving at Gil?

Meanwhile, judging from the shape of the ball, it looks like Milford’s rugby team is practicing, too.

Does P2 remind anyone else of the Last Supper? Doesn’t bode well for the season.

I’m bored with football already — how about a Molly cheerleading storyline?

Marty is holding a flask; he just thinks he’s holding a microphone. I’m waiting on a last minute transfer who goes about 6’6’’ and 312 to anchor the middle. Courtesy of Wildcat and his recruiting prowess.

Scary part is all the guys in panel 1 are hiding behind the quarterback.

Reporter asks pertinent question, Coach gives lame answer — this is sports in America.

Exactly lureman! Let’s get serious… this story line needs drug addiction, bullying or some kind of teenage hooker story. I will even take the “volunteer school board is evil” story again.

@Unkle Kaz – In a moment of rage, Hobart will drive his new jalopy through the fence at a MILFord football game only for it to break down before hitting anyone.

Marty’s drunk.
