    They just happened to run into each other in the hall or did Gil get her out of AP Biology again to go over game films?

    “Coach, why?? In the long term, you don’t need a player who can catch a ball? How ’bout figuring out how to beat a blitz, eh?"

    Beyond that, the whole premise is nonsensical. So let me get this straight: Heather’s the only player in the history of football used exclusively for pass plays? Really?

    P1, Yes Mr. Scott, my ankle is fine, it’s my blocking that sucks.

    P2, I’ve never seen a dining room chair on the sideline of any football game in my life.

    P3, C’mon Gil, you really shouldn’t be walking Heather down the hall while making those inappropriate gestures about her chest. You’re gonna have some splainin’ to do to The Dear Superintendent.

    On a positive note, Berry M. Bader has been moved up to the woman’s varsity cheer squad.

    P3- Those are vultures in that tree. They have grown weary of circling over this rancid storyline.

    @ The Brown Starfish -P-3: combine your observations with the dialog and we have an award worthy post. Well done! As for P-2, State Champion Coach Gil Thorp used the Alumni donations to the Football program and upgraded to upholstered furniture for the side lines. Now, P-1: cries out for Thorpian participation again. If Rose Ann Rosanna Danna were cast in the roll of Heather…“It’s like Coach Thorp says _________!”

    It’s inappropriate time. What Edgar Allan Poe story does the artists drawing of Heather’s slacks in P-3 remind you of? Answer: The Pit and the Pendulum.

    “But Coach, the season is over!”

    “I know. Be ready.”

    How does Gil know Heather will be able to play Friday, much less play more? Her ankle is supposedly injured.

    Beyond the Fringe:

    Cook Perkins! Sorry to drag you away from the fun, old boy. War’s not going very well, you know.

    Miller Oh my God!

    Cook …war is a pyschological thing, Perkins, rather like a game of football. You know how in a game of football ten men often play better than eleven?

    Miller Yes, sir.

    Cook Perkins, we are asking you to be that one man. I want you to lay down your life, Perkins. We need a futile gesture at this stage. It will raise the whole tone of the war. Get up in a crate, Perkins, pop over to Bremen, take a shufti, don’t come back.

    Goodbye, Perkins. God, I wish I was going too.

    Miller Goodbye, sir – or is it – au revoir?,’

    Cook No, Perkins.

    So Heather pulls herself from the game, Milford goes on to win, and Gil, drawing the obvious conclusion from this, promises to give her more playing time. Got it.

    Wait, so I was right yesterday? They had this big discovery the other day when Heather showed them that other teams knew it was a pass play whenever she was on the field, and Gil made absolutely no adjustments? And the only way to save the game was for her to fake an injury? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? And speaking of what’s going on, today’s Mopped Up Thorp has it going on.

    Am not happy about coach bringing me up to varsity, then not playing me…
