Animal House on Wheels…and coke..and steroids…

Blue Mountain State

[4.0 High-Fives]

starring Ed Marinaro, Alan Ritchson, Darin Brooks, and Sam Jones III

Seriously, if you have seen Animal House, American Pie, and any other ridiculous raunchy college humored movie- and LIKED it- then you need to tune in to Blue Mountain State on SpikeTV on Wednesday’s 11pm/10c.

The show mainly follows BMS’s backup QB, Alex Moran ( Darin Brooks, dude in the red jersey) as he goes through college and his football career on the sidelines-purposefully- and I quote: “being backup QB is the best position on the team! I can drink all I want, I don’t have to go to class, and I get the perks on being back-up QB [while in bed with two women].” His best friend, and team mascot, Sammy, is mildly retarded-yet-mildly-ingenious in all of his endeavors. Sam Jones III plays Craig Shiloh, BMS’s own Reggie Bush, but sadly gets pulled into horrible situations because of Alex and the team captain, Thad Castle [Alan Ritchson] who is one of my favorite characters of the entire show. Ritchson plays him perfect, a model of stereotypical collegiate meat-headedness, Castle…ugh, eff it. Just watch one episode and you’ll either like it or love it.

Here’s why you’ll like it:

• Hot college chicks;
• Modern day Animal House in football pads;
• the cast works perfectly together [rounded out by Ed Marinaro, a former NFL running back];
• You have a [sick] sense of humor;
• Hot college chicks.

You won’t like it if:

• You’re a square that looks for absolute plot in a 20min block of television;
• You’re a maninist (the feminists of man) and are appalled at the typical portrayal of men;
• You are no fun.

I’m going to do you a favor and set up a link for a video from BMS’s SpikeTV page. It’s called  “Memorable Moments from season 1”. I’m also going to be honest- it only holds a microscopic amount of the good times. Seriously…watch Blue Mountain State if you like fun.
