1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	!!Blue Mountain State Football Team (The Mountain Goats)
4
5	[[folder:'''As a Whole''']]
6	* BookDumb: The highest GPA that we know of a football player has had was a B+ (Craig Shilo in "Midterms"). In addition, they all have their own nerds doing their academic work for them, eventually leading to a boycott in the episode "Nerds" after Sammy accidentally puts one of the nerds in a coma.
7	* DumbJock: They're not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
8	%%* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex
9	* EverybodyMustGetStoned: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Drug Olympics"]].
10	* FratBro: They all fit the stereotype to some degree.
11	* JerkJock: Although they ''are'' the focus of the show, this doesn't mean that they're very nice people. The show doesn't really focus on their treatment of people lower on the social hierarchy than them, other than their personal nerds for RuleOfFunny.
12	* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Their antics cause huge damages to the school, involve many illegal acts, and violate various NCAA rules. They seem to get away with it [[spoiler:until the episode "Death Penalty".]]
13	* MaleFrontalNudity: The players on the football team, after the student body suspected them of not having penises/sending dick pics that weren't their own, create a large poster that shows that they did have penises and that most of them sent their own dick pics.
14	* WackyFratboyHijinx: Despite the fact that the football team isn't a fraternity (or if there is a football fraternity, there's never a mention of it other than the letters Sigma Delta on the Goat House), this is basically what the show revolves around.
15	* WildTeenParty: They're not teenagers, but every weekend at the Goat House is a wild party.

19	[[folder:Alex Moran]]
20	!!Alex Moran
21	!!!'''Played By:''' Darin Brooks
22
23	The Second String Quarterback, later becoming the Starting Quarterback of the team.
24	----
25	* BrilliantButLazy: He's actually pretty smart, but does not really want to put in the effort, preferring to let the nerds do his homework while he gets drunk and/or laid. He's also a competent, talented quarterback, but likes being a second-stringer who doesn't get knocked around as much. When the coach makes him a starter, Alex works his ass off to get himself bumped back down to the bench. He starts [[CharacterDevelopment changing]] in Season 3 though.
26	->''Backup quarterback is the best position in sports! It's like starting quarterback, only without the pain!''
27	* TheCasanova: Most of the football team is popular with the ladies but Moran is most popular with them.
28	* DeadpanSnarker: He comments a lot on the insane shenanigans of the school.
29	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sammy.
30	* HiddenDepths: During Season 3, it's revealed that the reason Alex slacks off is because he thinks that BMS will be the peak of his life and it will all go downhill afterward. He just wants to enjoy it as a benchwarmer rather than possibly screw up as a starter and let people down. He gets over it after Coach Daniels tells Alex that he has the talent to be great and go pro if he actually puts in the work.
31	* HighSchoolHustler: College version.
32	* OnlySaneMan: Usually keeps his head and tries to fix whatever problem is going on.
33	* ProfessionalSlacker: Gives [[Series/{{Community}} Jeff Winger]] a run for his money with the way he plots to avoid responsibility and work. Though after a pep talk from Coach Daniels in Season 3, he starts in put in more work on the football field.

36	[[folder:Sammy Cacciatore]]
37	!!Sammy Cacciatore
38	!!!'''Played By:''' Chris "Romanski" Romano
39
40	The team mascot.
41	----
42	* ButtMonkey: Nothing rarely ever goes right for him.
43	* CasanovaWannabe: He tries though even with the encouragement of his best friend and half-sister, he fails.
44	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Alex.
45	* LovableSexManiac: He's pretty likable despite his libido.
46	* MySisterIsOffLimits: Inverted. Sammy is more than happy about his best friend dating his half-sister and even suspects the two will be married.
47	* TheTeamWannabe: Sammy believes being the mascot entitles him to living the same high life as the football team. It takes Radon (who has befriended the nerds) to make Sammy realize he's no jock. He points out he's small, has no athletic abilities outside being the mascot, is not a chick magnet, does his own homework, is not concerned with his personal hygiene, has no sense of fashion and to top it all off, the BMS captains sold him out to the nerds as the one who put their friend in a coma.

50	[[folder:Thad Castle]]
51	!!Thad Castle
52	!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/AlanRitchson
53
54	The Team Captain and Linebacker of the Mountain Goats.
55	----
56	* AxCrazy: Thad is completely and utterly ''nuts.''
57	%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Touch his sister or steal his dad's pocket pussy and be prepared to run like hell.
58	* BigBrotherInstinct: Naturally to his little sister Alma.
59	** Extends to the team as well, as Thad will tolerate no offense to any of his teammates from anyone who's not a football player. Even if the teammate getting pranked/threatened/assaulted/insulted is somebody he normally treats like crap.
60	* BunnyEarsLawyer: This guy is a savant at football to the point where he made captain as a sophomore. Also, his utterly bizarre ideas when it comes to football (such as the infamous oil change) '''do''' work and shows he has a good grasp of how the team is. However, he is colossally insane. Alex puts it best in the movie: "Really good football player. Really horrible person."
61	* {{Expy}}: He is the early 2010s equivalent to [[Film/AmericanPie Steven Stifler]]. The biggest difference being his dedication to football.
62	* FreudianExcuse: His father was a soldier who was KIA during the US intervention in Bosnia when Thad was in preschool, which ''severely'' impacted his childhood development.
63	* ICallItVera: His pocket pussy, which he received as a memento of his father, is named Oksana.
64	* {{Hypocrite}}: Wants his sister to leave a stripclub arguing that it’s degrading towards women, even though he arrived before her.
65	%%* {{Jerkass}}: Alex flat out calls him a horrible person.
66	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sometimes, he is shown to not be all bad. Many of the things he does are because he genuinely believes—[[InsaneTrollLogic in his own completely batshit way]]—that he's helping.
67	** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Other times, he's way too selfish.
68	* LargeAndInCharge: He's the tallest and biggest of the main cast, as well as team captain and the instigator for a lot of their schemes.
69	* LargeHam: He is loud, dramatic and bombastic, treating football with a large amount of devotion and gravitas.
70	* MrFanservice: He's quite good looking and buff so little surprise he is quite popular with the ladies... and some of the guys.
71	* MySisterIsOffLimits: He invokes this word for word when Alex asks Alma out. Initially he’s not successful, especially since Alma is perfectly fine with going on a date to a Stripclub, twice. While he does have this attitude, he cannot stop Alma from dating Alex and the best he can do is try to tell her off.
72	--> '''Thad''': “ALMA, NO. DIRTY!“
73	* NoIndoorVoice: Certainly fits with being a ham. He can be quiet at times.
74	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His first name is actually [[spoiler:Kevin]]. Everyone started calling him "Thad" back when he was a kid and tried to say he was sad his dad died, but he had a lisp and it sounded like he said "Thad" and everyone picked on him. He eventually started calling himself Thad to suck it up.
75	* PsychopathicManchild: Beyond acting like a stereotypical frat boy, he's got a pretty childish and warped view of the world and how he pursues things. Heck, his flashback showed him being pretty child-like as a teenager. The psychopathic part comes from being pretty goddamn nuts.
76	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: His scream is unexpectedly more similar to a prepubescent girl than you'd expect from a 6'2" muscular football player.
77	* SeriousBusiness: Practically ''everything.'' The more ridiculous, the more serious. Weirdly enough, this is why Coach Daniels named him captain in the first place.
78	-->'''Daniels:''' All he does is care. He would light his mother on fire if it would help us win a game.
79	* TestosteronePoisoning: With a side of [[ItMakesSenseInContext rabies]]...

84	!!Craig Shilo
85	!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/SamJonesIII
86
87	The Starting Running Back.
88	----
89	* BackForTheFinale: He comes back for the film and helps out Alex.
90	* ButtMonkey: For much of season 1, nothing went right for him. [[spoiler: Its telling that things turned around for him as soon as he dumped Denise]].
91	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Alex.
92	* OnlySaneMan: Compared to TheSlacker Alex, the AxCrazy Thad, ManChild Sammy, and the rest of the football team, he's much more reasonable and tries to avoid the worst of the shenanigans.
93	* PutOnABus: After Season 1, he leaves Blue Mountain State and transfers to Georgia Tech. Justified, as he probably didn't feel an attachment to the place anymore after dealing with everyone's antics and [[spoiler:finding out his girlfriend was cheating on him]].
94	* WhatTheHellHero: After finding out his girlfriend [[spoiler:has been cheating on him while forcing him to be abstinent, he promptly gives her a brief one of these and walks out on her.]]

99	!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/PageKennedy
100
101	The Starter after Craig leaves.
102	----
103	* DarkAndTroubledPast: PlayedForLaughs. He grew up dividing his time between the inner city and juvenile detention centers.
104	* GlassCannon: While he's a talented player, he's also injury prone. [[spoiler:Eventually he has to retire from football entirely.]]
105	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's very egotistical and can be a massive asshole, but he does have his positive moments. Notably, he quickly befriends his nerd and supports them in their campaign against the football team.
106	[[/folder]]

108	[[folder:Larry Summers]]
109	!!Larry Summers
110	!!!'''Played By:''' Omari Newton
111
112	The Defensive Back.
113	----
114	* AscendedExtra: He starts of as a SatelliteCharacter to Thad, but starts hanging out with the other players in the third season.
115	* NoRespectGuy: In the movie, he's become a graduate assistant coach. Unfortunately, none of the players treat him as a superior because they still see him as their friend/teammate.
116	* TheQuietOne: In some episodes, he doesn't speak at all.

133	The Placekicker.
134	----
135	* HiddenDepths: Moran walks in on him...painting a remarkably good classical rendition of St Basil’s Cathedral. ''From memory''.
136	* OnlySaneMan: Less so than Moran, but he is often the voice of reason (or at least lesser stupidity).
137	* TheStoner: He is by far the biggest drug user on the team.
138	* ThoseTwoGuys: With Donnie
139	[[/folder]]

142	!!Coach Martin "Marty" Daniels
143	!!!'''Played By:''' Ed Marinaro
144
145	The Head Coach.
146	----
147	* CoolOldGuy: While he's strict with the players, he's also a former NFL star who has lived the high life. He and Alex wind up bonding over tales of their exploits.
148	* NotSoAboveItAll: Normally, he's frustrated by his players' off the field antics and reminds them that their college days are going to end very soon. However, there are times when he gets caught up in the craziness with them, such as when he learns about the prank war with the lacrosse team and orders Thad to do what is necessary to get back at them for burying Alex in the practice field.
149	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Gives Alex one of these speeches to motivate him into pushing himself to live up to his potential.

166	Craig's girlfriend since high school.
167	----
168	* {{Jerkass}}: She treats Craig like dirt most of the time. [[spoiler:Even worse, it's revealed she cheated on him after forcing him to stay abstinent.]]
169	* TheTease: She will not let Craig have sex with her under the pretense of making him keep all the testosterone he would be expending on sex into football instead.

174	!!!'''Played By:''' Frankie Shaw
175
176	Sammy's younger sister who joins the cheerleader squad.
177	----
178	* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Alex. While different in that she is exceptionally attractive, she's also the younger sister of his best friend, whom Alex doesn't want to hurt. [[spoiler:They eventually hook up at the end of Season 2, but Sammy is not only fine with it, but ecstatic.]]
179	* AmbiguouslyBi: Spends most of Season 2 chasing after Alex. Starts ignoring him in Season 3 in favor of girls. [[spoiler:Eventually tells Alex the truth in The Rise of Thadland.]]
180	* BrilliantButLazy: Entered BMS on a full academic scholarship, is in Pre-Med, but doesn't attend a single class because she'd rather drink and party.
181	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She's more level-headed than Sammy, though that's not really a high bar to clear.

188	* DeanBitterman: He hates that people only care about the BMS football team and partying and not the academics.
189	* JerkassHasAPoint: He's highly antagonistic against the Goats.... because they're a bunch of drunk, horny, destructive jerks who bring the university's reputation and credibility as an academic institution down.
