Through a strange chain of events, Jenny ends up becoming the quarterback for the football team. Everyone loves her! She is unbelievably popular, or is she? Meanwhile, the old quarterback doesn't things lightly, he transfers schools and becomes the new quarterback his new school. Then it's Tremerton Quakers vs. Polytech Bulldogs! Who's going to save the day on the field?
Storyboard: Trevor Wall
Directed: Tim Walker,
Rob Renzetti

Stuff I Noticed:
*Originally titled Teen Spirit
*Among the PolyTech football 'jersey' numbers are the symbol for pi, 9/12 and 2.7
*There is a sign outside the locker room and on it it says We Win, We Rule and Go Team.
*Jenny's football jersey has the number nine on it, because her name is XJ9. Get it?
*Jenny calls Jacques Jock Itch and Jock Strap. They are certainly getting away with alot. Yeah!
*When the nerdy kid from PolyTech rolls the dice it is a reference to Dungeons and Dragons
My rating and review:
Football. Yeah! Uh, I guess. I'm not a big football person. I'm probably holding up the girl-stereotype on this subject, but I couldn't care less. I will drag down the stereotype on this one though, I hate cheerleaders! True, I have a few friends that were in Pom and Dance, but just two. Okay, three, wait, four, alright! Five or six if you count just someone I've had rare conversation with in Literature. And once again I go massively off topic. I think that this is the perfect cheer. "Quakers Quakers Rah Rah Rah Quakers Quakers Lah De Dah Go Quakers." That Jantrice, Stephanie and Pteresa, they're some prissy girls, aren't they? I like the name Jantrice. It's fun to type. Jantrice Jantrice Jantrice. I won't get caught up in this. Anway, this episode is just a small cute story, maybe to attract male audiences, maybe just to fill up space, maybe just to tell a story. I'm not sure if they need to attract male audinces, though. As far as I can tell, MLAATR fans are 50/50 as far as gender goes. Also with age. People of any age group watch the show, I think. Most likely, this was to fill space, but hey, this wasn't a half-bad idea. I mean, for 11 minutes what exactly can you fit in, anyway? A short story, nice moral, the action scenes were...average. I'll give this a B. Yeah, just a B.
