    Never heard of Belle Plaine, comic strip fans? Besides, will Coach Thorp NEVER have a perfect season in any sport?, But relax, it’s only fiction and it’s only the funnies.

    Not me, Michael, but my guess is these guys throw in occasional nods to people (and said people’s places) they know … I remember a few years back seeing a couple of central North Carolina schools show up in here … schools I used to cover when I was a sportswriter there many, uh, moons ago … now THAT was cool.

    A lot of characters’ names come from Michigan also.

    Kaz: “Heidi Ho Gil, it seems to me we should seek an educated toe.” Gil: “Gee. I never made the connection. Thanks Mr. Obvious, err Kaz, you’re a life saver.”

    At least Gil is letting the fellas finish off the twelve-pack on the bus ride home. I assume Wildcat has Bobby trying on the square-toed kicking shoes he just picked up off E-bay. Wildcat will have Gil looking in the classifieds for that greeters job at Wal-mart.

    I’m having the same problem with my fantasy football team.

    Bluedarter has this pegged with the can of Miller Lite on the bus. Isn’t that supposed to wait until a few victories in the playdowns?

    Chip has a sister who can really kick, if you know what I mean.

    Great timing, Kaz. Azal is sitting right behind you, and is now a suicidal mess. Give him another beer to drown his sorrows.

    Wow – that bus has a cathedral ceiling, Milford spares no expense for the football team.

    Milford increases its non-conference schedule…

    Belle Plaine sounds like the shady lady with the heart of gold in an old western novel.
