==Members of the Team==
 
[[Image:lawndalelions2.jpg|right|frame|Kevin Thompson, [[the [[Three Js]], and two unnamed Lions 'Latino Lion' and 'Bangs Lion' (from "[[Daria Dance Party]]")]]
 
The team is trained by [[Coach Gibson]] (''The Daria Diaries''), who helps rig it so pesky 'grades' won't interfere with playing football.
 
The complete list of players is difficult to compose. Several players appear in the episodes, but only in passing and without any speaking lines. Also, few have been given names during the running of the series. The knownnamed athletes are:
 
* [[Kevin Thompson]] - quarterback
* [[Mack Mackenzie]] - team captain, ofrunning the teamback (specifically stated as such in both books, the ''MTV'' website, and in "[[Fizz Ed]]"); his position is given as running back on an archived webpage of the MTV ''Daria'' website.
* The [[Three Js]] - wide receiver ("[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]]")
* [[Jamie White]] - position unknown
* [[Joey]] - position unknown
* [[Jeffy]] - position unknown
* [[Robert]] - position unknown
 
Oft-recurring [[backgrounder]] Lions, seen in group shots for "Daria Dance Party", "Daria!" (as a singing chorus), and (in normal clothes) in "[[Murder, She Snored]]" include:
 
[[Image:Lions in normal clothes.png|thumb|320px|L to R, 'Latino Lion', 'Bangs Lion', 'Lion Who Likes Caps', and Robert ("[[Murder, She Snored]]")]]
 
* 'Latino Lion', a recurring hispanic player in Kevin's year (named Miguel Martinez in the "[[Lawndale Fighting Championship]]" fanfics)
* 'Bangs Lion', with reddish-brown hair that parts over his forehead (also Kevin's year)
* 'Lion Who Likes Caps', an African-American player who, out of uniform, rocks the baseball cap (Kevin again)
* 'Van Dyke Lion', part of the chorus in "Daria!" with a Van Dyke beard
* '[[Rex Attor|Red Lion]]', another ruddy-haired player
* 'Black Mane Lion', seen with a mane of shaggy black hair
* A blond guy
* A player with a bright red mohawk cut, making early appearances in "[[Cafe Disaffecto]]" and "[[Quinn the Brain]]" before disappearing into the ether (did he graduate??)
 
Latino Lion, Red Lion, Lion Who Likes Caps, and Van Dyke Lion were the chorus (with Robert) who defiantly sung they wouldn't fall for the government's lies that a hurricane was the real reason the game was canclled.
 
Robert, Latino Lion, and Lion Who Likes Caps buddied up again, this time with Bangs Lion, to cheat on a history test in "Murder" and cheer at their marks. None were bothered by the prospect of an F.

==Football season?==
 
The show has always been fuzzy about ''when'' in the year the episodes are taking place. Between that and Kevin ''always'' wearing his uniform, it gives the impression that football season is abnormally long in Lawndale. Several fanfics have decided that Lawndale's county has a spring football season because it loves football ''that'' much. ("[[IsBut Itin CollegeHer Yet?]]Heart isa notableCold for being the one time whenDecember]]" footballsays seasonLawndale isplays explicitlyit statedalmost toall beyear over.round!)
 
[[Is It College Yet?]] is notable for being the one time when football season is explicitly stated to be over.
