Under His Thumb - 
by J-Unit
Anyway, I don't like to perpetuate the stereotype that cheerleaders are not smart, but I had to laugh when they walked in and wondered how they were going to find the lockers that belonged to their players like they wouldn't be able to do it unless Indiana Jones was there to help them solve the puzzle. Uh, I'm not sure Blair, but you my try reading the nametags, which they conveniently place ABOVE EACH LOCKER. OK, so the hotties from Hoover may not be the brightest, but you know that they have to be brave to face sights and smells of a boy’s locker room. There were enough jock straps and tighty-whities lying around to make one long for the smell of napalm in the morning. It wasn't all terrible though, as the sight of a pair of polka-dotted boxers had them swooning like they were delivering cookies to Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp and not kids with nicknames like Booger and Goose.
Ewwww......
Speaking of Goose, I am really feeling sorry for that poor bastard. It turns out that he keeps all of the spirit ribbons he buys from Kristin in his locker, which seems sort of sweet and nice, but this guy is out of his league. He's a lineman, so the chances that he will ever date a cheerleader are almost zero. His chances with Kristin are probably less than zero, because we saw last week how she talked about how they were "great friends", which is girl-speak for "You can eat at my lunch table, but you'll never get into my pants". Luckily for Goose, his name isn't "Skid Marks", so he probably retains enough self-dignity to at least date somebody from the softball or field hockey teams.
After that hilarious romp through the locker room, we once again got a chance to check in with Coach Propst, who was in a pretty good mood after his two wins, and took some time to talk about some of the different personalities on the team. For instance, Max, he's "such a clown", which means everybody cracks up when he shows off the mangina and fruit bowl. Repete is just "out there", which is coach-speak for "I am pretty sure he smokes a shitload of pot, but what I don't know can't hurt me". But really, you need these types of personalities on every team. If there is nobody out there willing to give a pressed ham on the bus ride on the way back from away games, what will people talk about when they celebrate at Applebee's?
Oh Repete, you ham
Also, does anybody else think that we need to give a nickname to Coach Propst? I think his name should be Coach Pabst, because we really should find a way to honor the source of his awesome physique. And if there is one person for which the phrase "Red neck, white socks, blue ribbon" rings true, isn't it Coach Propst? My other idea was Coach "My Hero is That Character John Voigt Played in Varsity Blues", but Coach Pabst rolls of the tongue a little easier
That sort of body takes a strict regimen of High Life and pork rinds.
When we saw Max at the beginning of the episode, you sort of rooted for him to get into Southern Miss, but if he didn't, you knew that his stepfather would have a nice job for him at his car dealership or plumbing supply store or whatever if college wasn't an option. Taking a look at Repete's situation, you knew that his recruiting trips were going to mean a lot more. Not only is he looking to be the first member of his family to go to college, but if it doesn't work out for him, it's not like Repete can just go back and say he wants to do it all over. Ha! Get it? Repete? Do over? That was almost too easy.
Repete's dad really wants him to do well in football. Many kids who play on the Hoover football team move to this suburb of Birmingham simply for the chance to play on the football team, and Repete is one of them. It's tough enough to focus when you have the normal everyday pressures of life and when you don't work hard, sometimes you feel like you've let yourself and your teammates down, but if Repete doesn't perform, he's letting his whole family down, so you really do hope that he does well.
