College newspapers are awarded most of the same First Amendment freedoms as any "real" newspaper. Therefore, Veronica does have the right to protect her source, and had the Dean actually expelled her on those grounds, she would've had a slam dunk freedom of speech case against the college.
Veronica's cell tracing device seems to be working awfully well considering that there is a visible error message displayed on the front side of it, before she turns it over to observe the digital map.
The newspaper Veronica is reading at the begining of the episode is dated Monday September 18, 2006. This episode first aired Tuesday October 17, 2006.
Weevil: So I hear the dean's a pal of yours. You actually made friends with somebody?
Veronica: Actually, he wants me expelled.
Weevil: Ah, that sounds more like it.
Dean O'Dell: How 'bout you give me that name and we'll start over with a clean slate.
Veronica: I said I'm not giving up the name.
Dean O'Dell: And I said I'll have you expelled.
Veronica: And I said I'm not giving up the name. Is this how this works?
Logan: You know, your dad was half-right: you have a thing for bad boys, but... you don't want to reform 'em, you just get off on judging them.
Veronica: Which reminds me, can I borrow your copy of 'A Hundred and One Brooding Comments'?
Logan: I only have the Cliff Notes. Look, I gotta run, so, uh... to save you the trouble, I'm surfing in Mexico with Dick and Mercer this weekend. I'll fax you the coordinates so you don't incur any more cell tracking charges, and I'll keep a journal of my bad thoughts in case you wanna stick my face in a cage of rats when I get back.
Logan: Hey. So, what am I, scale of one to ten?
Veronica: Um, one. Seven. Four? Help me with some criteria?
Logan: Gentlemanliness? Like how I resisted the impulse to make a so-called booty call last night...What?
Veronica: Just the other day, my dad was saying I had a thing for trying to reform unreformable bad boys.
Logan: What does that have to do with me? I'm reformable, good, and a man.
Logan: I have a class 'til ten, but, uh, if you come by afterwards, we could write on our ourselves. Get real, uh... political.
Veronica: That's what a girl likes to hear -- 'Darling, do all the weird crap you like, just don't be late for the booty call.'
Veronica: Two gym buddies invite you to a party and you're there already, but whenever I want to do something interesting, you're busy.
Logan: You mean interesting like some fossil wheezing through a novel.
Veronica: First, Martin Amis isn't a fossil, and second, yes, it's college, we are supposed to expand our horizons past video games and binge drinking.
(talking about Logan's weightlifting class)
Veronica: So what, guys, like, spot each other doing squat thrusts and stuff?
Logan: And have group sex in the showers. What is this, jealous?
Veronica: Oh, jealous would involve piano wire.
Logan: Is this the help desk? 'Cause I need a little help.
Veronica: Let me guess. You have this pathologically suspicious girlfriend and you hope maybe there's a guidebook?
Logan: No, it's more like, uh... what's beyond pathological?
Veronica: I'm sorry, Logan. I spent my formative years watching people while they lied to, cheated on and betrayed each other. So the trust thing...it doesn't come naturally. But I'm trying to act unnaturally, I swear. So there's that. I thought you were in Mexico.
Logan: Yeah, well us bad boys normally love Mexico, but uh...I was feeling a little reformed.
Weevil: (to his boss) I guess I'll go wash some spoiled bitch's graduation gift from daddy, huh?
Veronica: I'm not spoiled, and technically, it wasn't for graduation.
Weevil: What about the bitch part?
Veronica: That depends on who you ask.
Veronica: (voiceover) Football: the systematic violation of the Geneva Convention made into a sport. I'm surprised the A.S.P.C.A. doesn't protest.
Piz: It's like Jon Stewart meets Crossfire. If Jon Stewart didn't hate Crossfire.
Veronica: (voiceover) Now here's a moral dilemma: You have a cell phone tracker which cost your dad hundred of dollars. You went through the trouble of activating your GPS-chip in your boyfriend's phone. So, is it a waste of your dad's hard earned money and your time if you don't use it?
Larry: I'm not a criminal mastermind, I'm just a painter!
Veronica: Yeah, well, so was Hitler.
Dean O'Dell: We can download pictures from the surface of the moons of Jupiter on to a portable phone, but we can't keep the air conditioner in this office running for more than a week at a time.
(talking about Weevil)
Keith: Didn't he get busted for murder?
Veronica: Assault.
Keith: See, so he's not even a very good murderer.
Veronica: (voice over) Now maybe people would say they'd never install a tracking device in their significant others' car; but I think that's just because they don't know how.
Percy Daggs III (Wallace), Michael Muhney (Sheriff Lamb), Tina Majorino (Mac) and Julie Gonzalo (Parker) don't appear in this episode despite being in the opening credits.

This episode was originally named "Friday Night Slights" a take-off on the movie Friday Night Lights. It was changed because Rob Thomas told the writers of the episode that it is high school football games that are generally played on Friday nights. College football games are more associated with on Saturdays.
Character Name: The coach in this episode's name is Dwight Fry.
This is most likely an allusion to the Alice Cooper song "The Ballad of Dwight Frye", a song famous for the fact that Cooper stages his own death (most commonly by guillotine) in concerts during this song. Going further back and closer to the source, the original Dwight Frye (and the man Alice Cooper sings about) was a versatile character actor whose career spanned the late 20s to the early 40s. He is best known for playing Renfield (his human slave) to Bela Lugosi's Dracula in Tod Browning's 1931 classic.
Weevil: Now I'm working at the car wash, which, as it turns out, isn't nearly as much fun as the song sounds.
"Car Wash", is a 1976 disco song performed by the group Rose Royce. It was also the theme to the 1976 Richard Pryor film Car Wash.
The Dean of the University has the last name of O'Dell. Thus when people refer to him they call him 'Dean O'Dell', which is likely an allusion to the California based radio/TV medical reporter Dr. Dean Edell.
Episode Title: Witchita Linebacker
A play on the title of the Glen Campbell song "Wichita Lineman".
