* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Luke Martinez, a rival coach introduced in 2022 by new writer Henry Barajas, is prone to this. After his team beats Milford in the season's last football game he boasts to Marty Moon that they're lucky they have him for a coach instead of Gil. This is when Marty is trying to give him a chance to be gracious.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Lini Verde is a flashy-dressing ''Series/{{Glee}}'' fan who's also a clinch player for the basketball team. Despite the large number of signs, his sexual orientation hasn't been stated. The storyline involves a website that calls him unpleasant names, but the exact nature of those names is unrevealed (probably a good idea for all sorts of reasons.) When one character suggests wearing pink to support him, she gets the response "This is about bullying, not ... [[UnusualEuphemism pinkness]]!"

* HonorBeforeReason: No matter how much of a star player you are, Gil ''will'' bench your ass for bad conduct, poor grades or after-hours shenanigans. Milford has lost more than a few games due to this.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Gil and his wife used to have a couple of kids. They rarely appeared in the strip, since it was focused on Gil's job, and they were too young to be at Milford High themselves, but they used to appear on the annual Christmas card strip. Then in 2009, they didn't, and they've never appeared or been mentioned since, even when storylines do involve Gil's home life.
* IssueDrift: As editorial restrictions relaxed, Berrill began using the strip to discuss potentially controversial issues like teen pregnancy and steroid use. When Jerry Jenkins (co-author of the ''Literature/LeftBehind'' series) took over, the strips began to get a distinctive religious bent. This vanished after Jenkins left and Neal Rubin took over.
* OpposingSportsTeam: Valley Tech are Milford's rivals, and often fit the "grueling soulless regimen" version of the trope.
