    P3 Snow in the forecast? It looks like the snow is falling as Doug speaks. And not just snow, but giant snowflakes The one on the left side of Vic’s jacket looks to be half the width of his back pocket.

    So why can’t an assistant coach run practice until 5 pm?

    P3 Me thinks Doug comes from the high end of Milford…I used to have to walk to HS and it was 4 miles up hill each way

    My old goat would sit in the garage if heavy rain was forecast, it had a tendency to hydroplane at speed. Snow and ice, I took the train.

    GilPa being called to an AD meeting is the equivalent of him pulling players out of class to discuss team locker room dynamics and such

    P2 – Nice job of discovery (narrative term), letting us know what’s happening by dialog.

    P3 – The snow was in the forecast that morning, so Doug didn’t take the GTO. And the forecast was right. One wonders how many vehicles the Doug and Dad own.

    P1: Bob Ross voice- And maybe Tessi has a couple of loose strands of hair that live here. There we are – it’s your panel, do what you like

    Tessi turns down Vic when he asks her to the Valentine’s dance, because he walks too slow- and ends up going with Doug?

    Vic should add this classic to the pre game playlist.

    Tessi must be smart too. That’s why those two goof quarterbacks didn’t waste their time with her last fall and went after the obnoxious “new girl” instead. Tessi knows them too well.

    Ugh- I hate those Jeeps. I was forced to take one from the rental company for an out of town trip and all that thing did was eat gas and collect bugs.

    P1, Beavis and Butthead are Vic’s go to’s?

    P2, Um, isn’t Gil the athletic director? So, he’s having a meeting with himself or is it all the A.D.’s in The Valley?

    P3, How many vehicles does Doug have? He must be the biggest drug dealer in The Valley.

    Tessi’s just toying with him to get what she wants. After the season, She won’t even know his name.

    P1 – That “sexy” random loose strand of hair across her face looks more like an accident with the drawing pencil, especially when you see it in color.

    P2 – Hey Gil, you ever hear of a thing called “advanced notice”? Like, maybe tell the team at practice the day before about the change? Instead of sending out a text the day of when some kids maybe didn’t have plans for a way to get home after school until practice ended? And now have to be there until 7pm?

    P3 – So this kid has TWO cars? But what bugs me the most is the drawing of that Jeep. First of all, Doug is scraping against that tree, ruining his paint job. But worse, what’s the deal with the rear tire? How is it the same size as the front, but mounted higher? It would only make sense if the car was on a huge incline, but if that was the case, the car wouldn’t be level. Is the back end suspended in midair?

    And speaking of suspended, the only thing suspended in Mopped Up Thorp is reality.
