    Problem solved! If Heather hurries, maybe she can find another fall sport she can be mediocre at.

    TOOOO easy. If they’re blitzing with Heather in the game, she changes her route to a hook or a quick slant. NO problem. I’ve always heard, “Pass to the side they’re blitzing from.” BIG gains are certain.

    Easy with the hands in P2 there, Coach Grabby.Gil says we’ll work on that, but in truth he is not including her in the ‘we’ part as he’s already named her replacement. Pretty devious.

    Yeah, I was under the impression that there were plays specifically designed to beat blitzes and that a team that blitzes on every passing down is as woefully predictable as a team that has a passing package. If a coach was paying attention.

    Heather has about 90 seconds left in her 15 minutes of fame.

    P2, Gil, you do know that laying hands on a student, especially a girl, can get you arrested, right? I don’t think you’ll be able to get away with using your age as an excuse.

    P3, So Heather, we’re going to need you to go back to taping ankles. It’s been great having you on the team, though.

    P4…“we think that we may finally have found someone who can play TE better than a 120 lb girl…”

    But she’s THIRD STRING. It’s crazy to think she would play so much that it would let Tilden shut down their offense.

    note Kaz & Coach GI Joe (with kung fu grip) still going over the game film. They don’t get it yet.

    Sing along- P-1: “The falling leaves, pass by my window. The falling leaves of red and gold…” P-2: “Let me go; why don’t you babe?”… P-3: If someone else’s arms can hold you better than my arms can hols you; run to him…" I’ll bet an extra helping of dressing that Heather is offered a student/coach position; maybe film breakdown for next opponents.

    What’s better, to play the entire game for JV or play five or six plays on varsity?

    On a side note, it’s a good time to grab an image of Paul Beaudry for your avatar. He could be around for three or four years.

    P1 – Ah yes, that classic drawing that gets used at least once a season.

     

    P2 – Is Gil being a patronizing a-hole? “We’ll work on that” means nothing if she’s being replaced because there no longer is the problem of the opponents knowing it’s a pass play when she’s in. Since she’ll never be in. For those big whopping SIX plays a game.

     

    P3 – Of course all this is just an excuse to get to where they’ve been planning to get to….Heather getting to be a coach. So add her to the staff, drop the season finale, miss the playdowns, and on to basketball!

    So Gil has had enough of this folly of playing Heather, and instead has decided to overmatch and crush the confidence of Paul Beaudry. Who has some impressive credentials, but seems a little old to be playing high school football:

     

    Paul Beaudry (born 1960) is Professor and Canada Research Chair in the UBC Department of Economics at the University of British Columbia. His main fields of research are macroeconomics, the economics of technical change and labour economics. He is also a Fellow of the Bank of Canada.

     

    Beaudry has extensive experience in his career as an academic professor. Obtained his Ph.D. in economics from Princeton University, New Jersey, USA. After graduating from Princeton, Beaudry held several prominent faculty positions from a number of prestigious universities, these include: Oxford University, Boston University, and the Universite de Montreal. Beaudry had also been commissioned as a visiting professor at the Paris-Sorbonne, Toulouse School of Economics, and MIT.

     

    Paul’s hobbies include playing the position of tight end in American football.

    The only reason to keep reading this stupid stuff is so you get the satire when you read MUT.

    @Ellisburkes: You mean it was the twins that helped Buchanan? @ MOP: but can he block? @ Thorpians: fun time – Look at P-2 and pretend it’s Lt. Drummond from Police Squad. Now, please provide the appropriate dialog.
