A tie is a win.

Brent is such a good goalie that he saves the bad Dog River team from being worse. The rival team challenge Brent to leave the team with a bunch of endorsements. The story is interjected with a woman coach theme. Humor done Dog River style! Brent stays with the loyalty of his town. The Dog River what's there name ties the game, which is as good as win for them. A decent story. 7 gas stations out of 10. Hank is very Hankish in this story. Have I wrote 10 lines yet? Nope I have not! Now have I? Nope I think they need a budgie as a regular character for the show? Maybe a parrot? I love the show believe I got 10 lines now. Darn not yet! Yes and Cornor Gas rules.
