Threadjack... Just saw this on the two-a-days website...Going to puke in 3....2....1...
"Two-A-Days"
MTV pushed this show as "Laguna Beach meets Varsity Blues." Um, like I wasn't going to watch that? Star football players juggling multiple girlfriends, overbearing stepfathers and coaches, scrubs puking in 110-degree heat, over competitive/buxom/semi-desperate cheerleaders ... what's not to like? Haven't we been pushing for this show for five years?
Instead of a Texas school, they picked Alabama's Hoover High to follow for the season -- seemingly a strange choice until we find out that its stadium seats 20,000 people, and the program has enough money that the head coach can decide before a big game, "everyone's staying in a hotel tonight, I don't want any distractions." And the results are good enough that my buddy Bish took a 10-minute break from work just to discuss the first episode last week. Poor Bish played QB for our tiny prep school in Connecticut, then parlayed that into four more football years at a NESCAC school in New England.
... Let's just say that he feels some remorse watching a show like this, especially the part when the Southern belles painted their favorite player's uniform number on their bodies before the first home game. I think he sobbed himself to sleep after the first show. Life just isn't fair.
