“TWEEEEET!” Keisha makes the ultimate defensive sacrifice, selling it so effectively that the ref blows the whistle (and uses the wrong hand to signal) before she even hits the floor. You would think that a self-professed “jock” like Cayla would admire her daughter’s intense play, but instead she chastises hubby-to-be for showing some enthusiasm.

Dese Nuts
Oh, you just know that somewhere in Batiuk’s studio is a napkin, from Luigi’s of Akron, on which TB has jotted “idea for strip punchline: academia nuts!”
Tell me if reversing the order of panels doesn’t make it funnier:
Cayla, who’s been disparaging the team since the start of the season, decides she’s gonna lighten things up with her little nut gag. The “joke” goes over like a turd in a punchbowl, and she sheepishly puts away her bag o’ nuts, mumbling to herself while Les and Linda offer pitying glances.

Save the Snark Update! Thanks to those who have responded to SoSF’s first-ever (and hopefully last-ever) fundraising drive to help cover web hosting and miscellaneous expenses. Snarkers who wish to show their appreciation may use the PayPal button in the right-hand column…I’ll show my appreciation by wrapping up the begathon at the end of this Friday.
Thanks all, and Stay Funky!

When he’s not just making up words to make himself sound “impo’tant”, Bull likes to mix up his sports jargon. Maybe he really is talking about “putting the basketball through the uprights“; this would cause the backboard and hoop to come crashing to the floor. While this wouldn’t win any games, such a feat of strength would certainly strike terror into the hearts of the opponents.
Cayla, meanwhile, is amazed to see her Caucasian doppelgänger holding the Channel One mic.
The Fishstick That Saved Westview

Just skip to the end where Anal takes over as the head coach and Bull goes back to being full-time AD. Never mind the fact that the goats had to hold a raffle to save sports. Apparently the realistically sold-out gym gives them enough revenue to expand.

The question of Fishstick Annie’s precise status is an interesting one…Would Bull take this kind of guff from a mere volunteer that he requested? Unlikely. So it suggests she’s been given authority over him. But by who? And how, if the school’s finances are so bad that a failed levy lead to the entire sporting program being almost canceled a week afterwards?
Well, it’s official: the cash-strapped sports program has made room on the payroll for a new assistant girls’ basketball coach. I suppose his position as athletic director (albeit a completely inept one) gives Bull carte blanche to hire an assistant on the spot. If Ann had been given that title before the game, surely Bull wouldn’t have saved this fact for a post-game surprise. And to Jimmy’s point, yeah, it would make more sense just to appoint her as girls’ coach rather than creating an assistant position, especially with only seven girls on the team.
Raging Bull
Well would ya look at Bull, actually up and moving around and, well, coaching for once! And Summer delivering a forearm smash to a defender (is that legal?)! Yes, the She-Goats are bringin’ it! Meanwhile, Linda grimly delivers the punchline, the whole time secretly wishing for for her husband’s ticker to give out right on the court.
