SPOILERS.
The Mountain Goats are in for another season with coach Marty Daniels, whose led them to six national championships. This high-profile football team was exactly what the big players want. Join three freshman as they get sucked into college football. There's Craig Shilo, hailing from Columbus, OH and is the big shot for the team. His crazy cheating girlfriend, Denise, is all about him not having sex, and one day using him for his money. There's slacker Alex Moran. Completely and happily sitting in second-string quarterback, he aspires to do little and to "trickle-down bang" his way through women who aren't 'good' enough for the first-stringers, but perfect for second. Moran concocts hair-brained schemes to do anything from having to work hard. Like on Recruit Day, doing everything he can to land 'Golden Arm', one of the biggest rising stars in football to take over his place. Next is Sammy, team mascot. He and Alex grew up together and are tight, even roommates. Sammy is odd, creepy, and somehow doesn't ever end up with a ton of consequences, like yelling at large guys that he wants to 'jerk them off' or taunting policemen so they punch him, and getting out of arrests. Lastly, on main characters, there is Thad Castle. Team captain and upperclassmen to this gentleman. He makes them shave each other's butt cheeks, keep their secrets, and do a 'Chocolate Cookie Race,' which consists of putting an Oreo in your butt and running down the field without it falling out. Losers need to eat the cookie. In the end, Shilo just wants to get laid, Alex wants to be lazy, Sammy is trying to get women to find him not repulsive, and Thad is trying to build team camaraderie, through the weirdest and most asshole-ish ways possible.

The Chocolate Cookie Race.

At first, this show is a sport show, and I'm just not into the jock scene, even though I love football. My best friend, the biggest nerd ever (seriously, never met a bigger one,) said she even saw the show, and loved it. I gave it a chance, and boy, this was a way different portrayal of my college experience for sure. The schemes the dumbest guys in the world complete to play football, is astounding. They go so far as to even get fake penises to piss clean for a drug test. That's how intense Thad is about things.

If you are looking to be STUPEFIED by stupidity and ridiculousness, watch Blue Mountain State.
