Most importantly, it ends the romance between Julie Taylor (daughter of Coach and Mrs. Coach) and her teaching assistant, her married teaching assistant. While being attracted to older men is in her character, just diving in with a married man seems a bit much. Of course, I found it incredibly annoying that the one plot the otherwise fantastic writers (season 2 excepted) of this show could imagine for Julie at college was sleeping with her TA. The only good news is that it was not with a prof, because we have seen that plot so many times as well.
I guess they needed a plot device to send her home, but, jeez, I hate it that it seems as if every female can count on being hit on/romanced by a prof or teaching assistant. Yes, it does happen, but it is no longer accepted and it is much less frequent than long, long ago.
Better: the football team this week. However one thinks how the football games themselves are staged, the camaraderie this week among the players was fantastic. More Tinker!! Indeed, the last two seasons could have been better with more Tinker. Glad to see Buddy Junior now fits in, more or less (not that I care that much about that subplot). And Coach was just great throughout.
Just a quick few thoughts on a great show. I am enjoying its final days. Only one last thing: more Skeeter!!! He looks like my dog Flynn who departed a few years ago.
