Not sure there will be much interest here, but there is a show making its debut on MTV tonight at 9:30 called Two-A-Days. It is a documentary based on Hoover HS's 2005 football season. Hoover High is the 6A team that plays at the Hoover Met. They have won 5 out of the last 6 football state championships in Alabama and play a semi-national schedule.

 

They opened last year playing against Nease, FL which included Tim Tebow. They play at the Met every year after the Barons season ends. If anything, in a few weeks you will probably see some interesting shots of the Met, albeit dressed as a football stadium.

 

This year, Hoover opens the season as the #1 team in the country and plays teams from Tulsa, OK and New Orleans as well as the Alabama defending 4A and 5A state champs.

I'm curious how that new NBC drama, "Friday Night Lights", will come off. I'll give it a chance.

Rex, I have a feeling your going to be REALLY dissapointed. Expect more about the QB dating the star cheerleader than football.

 

Actually I think the coach is an egotistical prick and I am not a fan of the program at all. I respect what they have accomplished, but not how they go about it. They are jokingly referred to Hoovah University around here. I will watch the first episode and that may be my last. I will probably peek in on occasion just to see some football footage, because they are very good. But unless the head cheerleader is REALLY hot, I have no interest in all of that.

 

Who am I kidding, you know damn good and well she is going to be hot. lol

not feeling this show

LOL

 

"This game is going to be watched by 95 million people."

 

So, what you're saying coach is that this game is going to be the second most watched event on TV this year? Get over yourself.

Anybody ever see the documentary "Go Tigers" about that high school in Ohio?

That cheerleader was cute, but have seen hotter down the street by my house.

I love this SHOW!!!!!

From the parts I saw, there was a roughly 25 year old high schooler about to get a hummer.

The last thing that high school football needs is MTV. I hate that network so much.

I am interested in checking this out. Haven't seen the first episode but it sounds like MTV is doing this more as a documentary as opposed to how they do Laguna Beach.

FWIW, a production company paid for the rights to make this documentary in hopes to sell it to a cable network. From the beginning, MTV was the target, but the production was done without a deal from MTV. There was no guarantee it would even air until well after the season.
