Now, Coach Pruitt wasn't necessarily mad at Max, but he was frustrated that Max isn't reaching his potential. It was troubling so much that Pruitt decided to meet MAx's stepfather Jim for dinner to talk about the problem. Dinner was at a place called Flemings, which I am guessing is the nice restaurant in town. I call it the nice restaurant, because they served all sorts of exotic foods....like asparagus. What? Asparagus isn't exotic? I guess you've never talked to coach Pruitt, who had never seen asparagus until Jim had ordered some and started smothering it in cheese. I personally like my asparagus steamed, but I do sort of wish Paula Deen was there to deep fry it all after adding the proper amounts of bacon, mayonnaise, and animal lard. Anyway, Jim says that Coach Pruitt needs to challenge Max because he only gets motivated when you tell him he can't do something or try to embarrass him.

What is this asparagus that you speak of?
So it's been a few days since Alex came up with his master plan to win back Kristin. He bought her some flowers, and even took the time to write a note. By the way guys, if you are trying this at home, the note is key. Any asshole can buy flowers, but only somebody who really cares will take the time to write bad poetry to win you back. One last thing that Kristin received was a pack of gum. While to some, this may be a way of telling your girlfriend that you don't like the taste of the tater tots she gets every day at lunch, it can also be seen as a sign that you want to make out. Either way, it's cheaper than buying her a SoniCare. What we should all know is that the flowers and breath aids seemed to work. Kristin sees what Alex did and everything seems to be OK. I guess she really wasn't that mad at him; she just wanted to make sure that she had Alex by the balls.
Who do you think is the grammar nazi on the squad?
On the day of the game, the team Chaplain once again gives his sermon/scouting report, but that was just the preview. Before the team went to play Vastavia prep, he got in there and talked to his boys. Ironically, he didn't make the speech about him, instead he made the speech about each and every one of them. It will be a chance for them to redeem themselves, if another teammate falls; you have to pick them up. I have to admit, it was some pretty good stuff. It even got me pumped up to the point where I wanted to knock somebody out myself, but since the next person I was going to see was bringing me some saag aloo at my request, I decided to simply live vicariously through the Hoover players instead.
In the end, the team seemed to respond to what Pabst had to say. They played very well and pulled out a 24-6 win. Even goose managed to snag himself an interception. Coach Pabst believed that his team had finally turned the corner, and many of the kids thought a lot of the pressure would be off of them now. With Hoover playing like champions instead of chumps, the kids can now go back to what is important, like bowling and all you can eat fajitas at Chili's.
What did you think of this episode? Will there be a QB controversy when Ross gets back? Who do you think are the leaders of the football team?

Tuscaloosa isn't THAT bad of a place :( How can you go wrong in a town with $3 pitchers?? You must've visited Cowtown, coughAuburncough.

Were the alternating names of Coach Pabst/Propst deliberate? There was also a Coach Pruitt in there. Same person as Pabst/Propst or someone else? As you can tell, I haven't watched this show, but the recap was entertaining, if a little confusing.

I can't believe you glossed over the big difference between Repete and his girlfriend. Psst: She plays for the other team. That team being Shades Valley.
We'll tolerate a lot of things in the South, but not mixing couples from different high schools. It just ain't right.

I've been wondering if Repete's dad is named Pete.
To unwise: Pruitt must be an assistant coach of some sort. Pruitt and Max's dad looked like they were on a nice date. Couldn't they have gone to Hooter's or something? And Pabst is Propst's nickname because he looks like a classic Pabst guy according to J-Unit.

Let me count the number of times the cheerleaders at my high school sat around the courtyard talking shit about the lack of leaderhsip on the football team.....uh, none. Get a life bitches!
Wasn't Repete complaining last week about not being able to find a girlfriend? Now he's got one that he loves...the only thing he loves are the smokers Megan's giving after practice.
Love the Nick Lachey diamond (cubic zirconia) earrings that Alex is sporting, how 98degrees of him.
Fleming's is actually a nice chain steak house owned by Peter Fleming, who also owns PF Chang's, hence the PF.

I just want to comment on when the coach and stepdad went out to eat..
I just loved when they guy was pouring the cheese sauce on his asparagus, making US Alabamians look like we had some class. Then the coach just messed it up with the whole "WHAT IS THAT?"
p.s. Im a military brat, lived everywhere, and moved to Huntsville Al about 7 years ago.

Tiffany I agree that asparagus thing was funny. That Pruitt guy acted like it was some kind of exoctic veggie.
I bet there is going to be a QB Controversy comin soon. I think the back up QB may be better. But he may play another position better so that is why he isn't QB. Makes me wonder if Ross is only the QB because of who his brother was.
I don't think there are any leaders on this team. I think they are all followers.

Yeah....Coach PASBT? Was that intentional? If not, it's still funny because that's what I think when I hear his name, too!
I read a recent Sports Illustrated (not sure of the date, but it has the Detroit Tigers on the cover---side note:YAYYY!!---) and S.I. lists the top 20 high school football teams in the Nation....Hoover's in there, there is a big article written about them, Ross the quarterback (he is a senior now, and i do agree, it seemed like the backup did a much better job in this ep than Ross did in the previous games...but apparantly S.I. doesn't think so) and yadda yadda yadda.
It was a good article. It also talked about last season's results.
I don't wanna give anything away so if anyone is interested they might want to see it online, or buy a copy somewhere.

I live in Hoover and here in Bama girls do talk about the upcoming football games, especially at a school like Hoover where everything revolves around football. Their amenities for the football team are comparable to a college. Also, Ross is an awesome QB. he is better than his brother (starter for Alabama) but too short to go to the next level. MTV doesn't show alot of the game actually being played. Like the first game Hoover beat Neese 59 to 20 and they made it seem close. The games are never as close as MTV plays off and the Tuscaloosa loss wasn't that bad either... they only lost by one touchdown. Otherwise think MTV is doing a good job portraying my old hogh school!
