    Just finished the Garden City episode. These fucking coaches are 10 tiers below HS coaches. It’s embarrassing yet entertaining.

    Sims is the perfect foil for Brown, it makes for such amazing TV. Brown is a complete clown as a HC but Sims seems to run his program with machine-like efficiency and the results speak for themselves.

    e: just saw the end of the episode, nevermind lmao. It'd be fine if Sims just admitted that he didn't like Brown slamming him on TV last year but to sit there and pretend like "I could lose to JB 40 times and wouldn't care" and then do that sorry act at the end of the game like a 12 year old child is ridiculous. That guy managed to look like a bigger ass than Brown and that's saying something.

    My wife did not appreciate my pep talk of “Let’s go suffocate this walk and then we go get some pussy,” when preparing to take our 3 month old daughter and golden retriever for a morning walk.

    I haven’t seen any announcements but a couple months ago on twitter they(someone) were soliciting ideas for which JuCo they should go to next. Iowa Western or Butler were my contributions .

    I’ve wondered if this show would work with another sport like, say, basketball. JUCO basketball is as wild as JUCO football, there’s just even less glamour.

    They should just stay in state and go down the road to Lawrence. They also have a JuCo football program w a cartoonish coach.

    That second episode was horrible. No football at all, just completely dedicated to a fuck up. I feel sorry for the guy and all but 15 minutes would’ve did the trick for me.

    All of the concussion stuff is hard to watch. That lead trainer is doing a terrible job. Markiese being allowed to go back in after getting knocked out was beyond reckless.

    The entire program is a joke. I’m in rage mode every time I watch it. I am not sure why I do. I’ve coached in college and am now a high school coach, and have never been around these type of coaches/trainers. I understand it is a JUCO, but there are better ran middle school programs.

    I agree but at the same time I can see her getting tons of pressure from the staff to keep their best threat in games. My guess is that shit hole is a stepping stone for her too. Put her time in and show she knows how to keep players healthy. Unfortunately this will show otherwise.

    I understand that but the kid was unresponsive for a scary long time and unable to squeeze her hand. She knew that the cameras were going to be on her there. I know that I shouldn't be but I was shocked when he went back in. I was expecting him to go to the hospital or something. Then he goes back in and takes another brutal hit to the head.

    She didn't let Jay go back in after tweaking his hamstring again in E1 and then didn't let Chance go back in after his hit to the head in E3. I’ve, frankly, liked her character.

    I don’t necessarily think a transition from football to basketball would work. But if they started a similar show with juco baseketball it maybe could work...but with the greatly smaller roster you’d have to get lucky with players who could fill screen time.

    I agree that she has had a poor season by what they have shown. By what they have shown, it appears Markiese did have one.

    As someone who works closely with multiple AT’s and deals a lot with concussions and head injuries, not every head hit is a possible concussion. There’s a series of 4-6 easy tests performed on the sidelines that can quickly diagnose the likelihood of a head injury. If a guy passes the tests (you can’t fake eye nystagmus) and you perform the other parts of an exam which he passes, there’s no reason for him to not go back in.

    She held out Chance, so obviously there is some discretion being used. Just not really fair to say every head injury is something more than it is. Sometimes, it just isn’t, after the objective exam is completed.

    I really don’t believe the coaches made her “clear” him, given how many guys have missed parts of the season.

    JB is definitely a piece of shit, but the Garden City coach is a bitch for real. He preaches all the composure, don’t act like a thug routine, but completely went into that exact role after the game. Didn’t look good for him while he tries to talk shit about JB yet acted just like him.

    Agreed. I couldn't understand why they were wasting so much time on him. He's not that good at football, he's not funny or entertaining, and really just thinks he's more important than he is because he's on that show. I'm guessing maybe they believe if they make him sorta famous like Ollie, that he will get more support back in Florida, and not end up in the streets or someone will scoop him up on another team but I doubt it.

    Eh. Bobby Bruce is the exact type of “Last Chance U” kid. He’s the type that tons of people will try to save and the kid just isn’t receptive. It sucks. Because being around structure (i.e. school and football) is the best thing for those kids. You just hope he doesn’t end up in jail or worse without that structure around him.

    Yep. I came away from that episode hating the Garden City coach much more. He’s the type of OCD asshole that would be miserable to work for.

    Yeah the CB got beat by 15 yards by Markiese for the TD and the Garden City coach said as he got to the bench if he would have tucked his shirt in and start doing the little things he wouldn’t get beat so bad.

    Brb tucking my shirt in so that I can run a 4.5 40.

    The GCCC coach not wearing a headset Brady hoke style triggered me, but his abuse of the refs made me laugh.


    However all his shit talking was terrible after trying to portrait some sort of Tom Coughlin level stoicism
