History Series / BlueMountainState

* LooseLips: Thad is guilty of this [[spoiler:and in "Death Penalty", this is what gets the Goats in trouble with the NCAA. To be fair, he didn't know that the college student he was talking to was an NCAA agent in disguise]].

** In "Piss Test", Thad suggests that the team do something called an oil change to pass the drug test which involves sticking a pipe into the penis and pumping it full of clean urine. Since none of the team wants to do it, they try other methods to pass the test such as staying sober or using fake penises full of clean urine. Unfortunately for them, Thad sabotages all their attempts so they have no choice but to go with the oil change.

** "The Cougar."

** Thad is one of the typical JerkJock with TestosteronePoisoning. His actions and behavior are not that much out of the ordinary for the character type, but Thad pushes it further and further to the point where early on you can tell that he's ''dangerously insane''.

* TheBabyTrap: A creepy stalker named Ron, who desperately wants a son to watch and play football with but ended up with five girls instead, steals a condom full of Alex's semen and threatens to impregnate his daughter with it unless he keeps dating her. Alex and Thad get the condom back, and as a form of karma, Sammy gets Ron's pregnant daughter instead, much to his displeasure since it's clear he finds Sammy annoying.

* LooseLips: Thad is guilty of this and in "Death Penalty", this is what gets the Goats in trouble with the NCAA. To be fair, he didn't know that the college student he was talking to was an NCAA agent in disguise.

* NerdyBully: Sammy, under the impression that being the mascot makes him one of the jocks, mocks and attempts to prank the school's nerds. The football players have no interest in joining him, if only because they need the nerds to keep doing their schoolwork for them.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: In "Superstition" Sammy is looked down upon for enrolling in Blue Mountain State but has no scholarship. To prove everyone wrong, he signs up for a full academic scholarship, but to his dismay, he learns that this means he won't have time to participate in the spirit squad. Realizing that he's a loser either way, Sammy drops the scholarship and resumes his role as mascot.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: In "The Peak" Sammy is looked down upon for enrolling in Blue Mountain State but has no scholarship. To prove everyone wrong, he signs up for a full academic scholarship, but to his dismay, he learns that this means he won't have time to participate in the spirit squad. Realizing that he's a loser either way, Sammy drops the scholarship and resumes his role as mascot.

** The episode "Pay for Play" is one for the movie ''Film/{{Rudy}}''. The Rudy {{expy}}, Bodie James, is part of the Goats' practice squad but wants to dress for one of their games, as in the film. Unlike the film, Bodie is not TheDeterminator who gives a full effort to help the team and make up for his size and athletic shortcomings, but an egotistical, spoiled JerkAss who puts the starters at risk of injury with his UnnecessaryRoughness and is only kept on the squad because [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections his father is a booster who donates large sums of money to the program]]. In the end, after Bodie and his father threaten to tell the media that the goats have been receiving unauthorized deals and gifts from agents (which is Sammy's fault for leaving a paper trail) unless Bodie is put on the team, Alex gets the idea to make it look like Bodie was the one receiving the gifts and deals, which results in him getting suspended and his father kicked out of the booster club.

** The episode "Pay for Play" is one for the movie ''Film/{{Rudy}}''. The Rudy {{expy}}, Bodie, is part of the Goats' practice squad but wants to dress for one of their games. Unlike the film, this is framed as an entitled demand of a spoiled JerkAss.

* HeManWomanHater: Ron the stalker in "Ransom" never wanted a daughter, yet he ended up with five of them. He wanted a son to watch and play football with. And then there's his comments about how "girls can't throw football or appreciate Film/TheThreeStooges" like he does or how his daughters are so beautiful, they don't need to pick up a book.

** Aside from Alex and Craig, all the football players call Sammy "Mascot"

* GottaPassTheClass: The episode "Midterms" has Alex and several of his teammates threatened with being kicked off the football team because of their poor grades and [=GPAs=] (Alex has a 1.6 GPA, Thad has 1.7, and Harmon has ''0.5'') unless they pass an upcoming midterm. All of them refuse to study, Thad especially because Shiloh is forced to tutor them as he has a high GPA, but Alex finds a way around it by hanging out with the professor's elderly mother and [[DirtyOldWoman secretly performing sexual activities for her]] in exchange for an A-. The other guys do the same, until they're caught and forced to take the test anyway. That is until they come [[ZanyScheme up with a plan]] to blackmail the professor into giving them all Cs by threatening to post a live video of the guys having sex with his mother all over campus, to which he breaks down and obliges to.

** While the rest of the team treat their nerds rather poorly, Radon is ''ecstatic'' to meet his and treats him really well, drinking with him and letting him sleep it off in his bed.
