Marzipan and Coach Z's Relationship

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Coach Z and Marzipan have a love-hate relationship, with most of the love lying on Coach Z's side and most of the hate lying on Marzipan's. On several occasions, Coach Z has shown to be in love with, or at least attracted to, Marzipan, although whether this is due to actually feelings of love, or the fact that Marzipan is the only girl available, is uncertain. Marzipan has made it quite clear that she is not particularly fond of Coach Z, and is often annoyed or downright repulsed by him. Despite these differing feelings between them, the two have been able to get along fairly well on a few occasions.
