Never watched it. I sat through enough of that shit in real life. Thank god I was in the orchestra and not the band or I'd have had to go to everything, not just homecoming.
Really? Wow. My school had absolutely no "spirit." As in science nerds routinely got pummeled when playing sports so we gave two craps how they did. I'm guessing I didn't miss out on much.
My favorites were always the pep rallies before championship games. I'd sit there counting the minutes down until 2:20 when I could make a break for it. I lead a team from the German club to back-to-back championships in annual Sprachfest Culture Bowl, and we didn't get so much as a mention in the district newsletter. All-county Orchestra? Same. To be fair, I think the LI String Festival selection got mentioned one year. But football or boy's basketball? STOP THE PRESSES THE PRINCIPAL WOULD LIKE TO PONTIFICATE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF HOW AWESOME THE MALE ATHLETES ARE.
I have an allergic reaction to "All-American" because I grew up in it. That might also be why I can't watch "Glee".
