Git "Er Done

Mark Here... another good episode, this one was called, "Git 'Er Done"...This episode was basically about Coach Taylor's struggle with starting Matt Saracen vs Voodoo (the Louisiana QB Buddy Garrity brought in).  The outcome was easy to predict. Coach started Voodoo  of course because Matt was really a bit bad during practice.  Even though Coach knew Matt was morally the best choice he starts Voodoo.   He ends up going rogue, which initially works out for the team, but eventually he has no understanding of the team working together and Coach is forced to put Matt in the game.  They win the game and at the end of the episode there are questions about how Garrity got Voodoo on the team.  Of course weasel that he is, Garrity puts it on Coach Taylor.

Separately, Tyra hooks up with some guy who comes to town to check out the oilor soemthing.  It doesn't matter, we know this guy is bad news and so does Tyra.  She's just so obviously desperate for someone to take her out of this small town life.  In the end he leaves town...

Hi Laurel here..once again I agree with Mark on all points.  As a die hard believer in the power of team sports for shaping young minds I was super convinced from the beginning that it would be a bad idea for him to start Voodoo, who is the exact opposite of a team player.  It teaches all the wrong lessons, and however strong the pressure from the town is, these guys are teenagers after all.  At the end of the day you can't successfully incorporate a player on a high school team (or any team actually) who has no thought of the team and is only out for himself.  From the beginning Voodoo has been confrontational with both the players and the coaches and no matter how talented you are that attitude will not serve you or the greater good in a team sport.   Anyway, like Mark said Voodoo goes rogue during the game leaving coach Taylor no choice but to take him out and put Matt in.  Much to my satisfaction Matt inspires some awesome team playing and Panther's win the game.  Fuck Voodoo.  I don't like this kid's attitude.  I'm hoping this is he last we will see of him.  Hopefully Matt can get the job done.

Also regarding Tyra she has been nothing but tough so far and this thing with the douche from LA shows us that she is still a kid after all, no matter how tough, and she is vulnerable after all.  It was a bad decision to get involved with him, but seeing this vulnerable side of her only makes me like her more.

I hope the Panthers don't lose this win on their record because Voodoo is ineligable!  This jerk with a bad attitude comes in a screws everything up for 2 quarters then may cause them to lose the win on top of it?  Blerg.
