Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 20, 2011

Strange that the only time this sports-mad comic is boring is when it’s actually about sport.

Stay tuned for Singing on the Bus, immediately following Dancing With the Stars.

You’d think Coach might be looking for a TD, unless the plot development required trouble for the placekicker….here’s hoping Paris doesn’t telegraph his passes as blatantly as this storyline.

GO OAKWOOD!

Is Brody coming out of the stands to kick, c’mon Gil you have already missed an xp with your transfer student from Arabia.

P1: Memo to the dark and sinister Marty: If the penalty is on Milford, it’s encroachment. P3: Miles doesn’t seem to mind the loogie on the headgear.

Miles is so happy, he’s thinking about singing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” on the bus, but he’ll be wanting to break them over Azal’s head soon.

Look at Marty, his next comment is: seven…six…two….millimeter….full…

Of course. Blame the immigrant kicker, not the kid who jumped across the line on the punt.

So this fall’s lesson is either anti-xenophobia or showtunes… maybe both? Coach Thorp could teach all the boys how to sing “Oklahoma” while Kaz whips up his famous baba ghannoug.

Miles has ice water in his veins – just what you need for a QB.

Better put six on the board though, the kicking game that Gil is so confident in is a littel shakey.

@bearwku82: No, if the defense lined up offside, it is offsides. If the defense makes contact before the snap it is encroachment (and the play would have been whistled dead before the pass occurred). So they got it right.

Moonpie has his best friend sitting on his left in the Tinderbox.

I sense a missed field goal headed our way …

I expect they’ll be singing the blues.

Why do I get a feeling that the football season will end next Monday?
