As the Scapgoat gridders practice, Les and Bull look on and continue to bemoan the school’s pay-to-participate play policy. We can’t mention the football team without also bringing up the fact that they suck. Batiuk employs a couple black “extras” left over from last week’s arc.

Make 'em Pay
School’s in, and Les is still a teacher at Westview High, and bumbling Bull has managed to hang on as the Scapegoats’ athletic director. Les brings up the unpopular phenomenon of Pay-to-Participate fees that are being instituted in cash-strapped schools. Bull’s wife Linda brings up the fact that Westview’s football team sucks.
Holly Wha'?
Don’t forget: in honor of our 500th post, SoSF is giving away a copy of Lisa’s Story: the Other Shoe! Click here for details.
Jinx is willing to work for nothing? No wonder “she’d be perfect“. Where does Tom Batiuk get his notions of “Hollywood”? I always thought Hollywood stood for glamour and success! But in the mind of TB and his characters, Hollywood is a soul-sucking void that only takes, takes, takes. That certainly fits in well with the depressing Westview worldview, I guess.
The Apprentice (and: Contest Announcement!)
Nope, Bull just can’t help himself: he just has to go and get in the way of his daughter making a new friend. Too late: Jessica has invoked the Westview Employment Clause, where everyone in town must work for somebody else in town.
