Ya dizzy bint. Do ye not know what a reel is?
“The reel is a folk dance type as well as the accompanying dance tune type…In Irish dance, a reel is any dance danced to music in reel time. In Irish stepdance, the reel is danced in soft shoes and is one of the first dances taught to students.”
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

…Is TB gearing up to tread on Pat Summitt’s turf with his craporiffic “storytelling”?
A tip of the SoSF tinfoil hat to The Ridger for that very prescient comment from over two months ago! Today’s strip is also notable in that the girls’ roster has expanded from seven to eleven or twelve (the girl to Bull’s right wears a shirt with no number and might be the equipment manager).
Don’t forget to check out TB’s latest blog post on the official FW site!
Today’s comic is much more entertaining when reimagined as a Sunday strip:
I read today’s strip and suddenly had a hunch as to why TB chose to elevate second-stringer Ann Fairgood to such a prominent role. It took her years, but Fishstick Annie has gone from equipment girl all the way to assistant coach of the (Division III) State Champs! Her life is now complete. Now she’s taking a mental picture of the empty arena. Next month: Ann visits the doctor and gets some very bad news…
I hope Coach Bull has had his flu shots! He could catch something from hugging sweaty Summer. Leave it to the extremely anal retentive Les to quickly dispel the warmth of the moment with his grammar policing. Jealous much, “Dad”?
