Usually 3rd place finishers in tournaments like this (presumably determined by a knockoff bracket) are much happier than 2nd place finishers. 3rd place means you ended with a win, 2nd means you ended with a loss.
P4 Coach: “Maybe you’re a year older, taller, weigh more and are running out of gas because you expend too much time playing volleyball and not focusing solely on gymnastics, you little ingrate.”
The TEAM, sans Kianna, is holding the “3rd place all-around” trophy (Mimi’s version of 2nd in the Valley) yet Kianna snorts that SHE was 2nd in the all-around last year. There may be no “I” in team but there certainly is one in Kianna. I’m tired of this biotch already.
Like a limbo stick, the bar continues to be lowered as athletic achievement continues to be celebrated with lower finishes. 3rd place will be the new norm for Milford athletics? It’s no secret Neal & Rod review Snark Nation input. Planting Vic Doucette in our merry little world, then featuring him in a plot. Mimi needs to whip this team into shape.
I thought a strip near the start of this so far totally pointless(endless) story arc had Kianna running for her gymnastics club as Milford had no gymnastics team, yet todays strip seems to indicate the opposite.. This arc keeps running off in tangents that are unrelated to the actual story(what is the actual story? Is it about Kianna or the QB? or is it about something totally different. What happened to the new intrepid local sports columnist? Did Gilpa rope her into an unpaid coaching job?) Seems to be turning into another totally pointless story like the Library Board arc.
So the girls have even lower ambitions than the boys. Not sure why Señor Grumpy was so happy with 3rd one day and hates it the next. Probably because she’s so tired. She needs a nap.
And speaking of naps, don’t go napping and miss your opportunity to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

It’s quite clear the flamin’ Libero CK was the reason for the team’s high placing last year.

Mimi yanks the trophy from one of her players and hogs the spotlight.

“Cheer up! Last year you were second, this year you’re third, and next year you’ll be out of this strip entirely!”

She is going to have to decide whether to focus on just one sport, or always settle for third…

My firm belief is that this storyline will test our “Angst” reflex.
