Two-A-Days

After I got back from the varsity scrimmage, there was a new TV show on MTV called "Two-A-Days" which chronicles the season of the Hoover High School football team in Hoover, Alabama.

I love this high school football stuff in which the cameras go deep into the team itself, watching how practices are run, how tough the coaches are, how the emotions of the players can effect the game itself. What I don't like is the extra-curricular stuff -- the relationships between the players and their girlfriends, the night life, and so on. I like watching the relationships between the players and their families, and that's about it. But I completely understand why they do things like that, it's the only way to get high school-aged students to watch, and it's on MTV of all cable stations.

This is very similar to Go Tigers!, the movie about the Massillon, Ohio football team that was released in 2001.

The Hoover Bucs have won the last 5 out of the last 6 state titles in their class. If the head coach is getting paid $94,000/year, you'd better win some state championships! His record since taking over program in 1999: 91 wins, 8 defeats.

Just sick.
