I finally got into this after years of folks telling me I should and.....they were right. It's amazing. That said I don't think I was able to appreciate it when I was younger, and living in central Texas for 6 years I think really helps a lot of it land. Hank is a closet liberal, he's actually a very progressive person when it comes down to it he just doesn't realize it. Bobby is p great, Dale is p great. Bill and Peggy are kinda awful. I'm somewhere in S9 so I've got a bit more to go, but it's been very enjoyable having avoided it based on my youthful impression of it.

I've never come to terms with Hank and Bill having not played college football.

Football friends of mine have told me that Hank's running time, the thing he is most proud of besides, perhaps, being Arlen's best salesman of propane and propane accessories, is, at best, deeply mediocre. I have to imagine Bill was the same. I saw it in college and I saw it again in grad school when people who were the best and brightest of their class realize that they aren't that special. Since they alley-folk were in a field based on physical prowess, they were forced to have that reckoning earlier. They either ended up a goon or a mediocre man in a sad marriage with a child they struggle to relate to. In NYC, Kahn is the dude who started working at the MTA when they were 18.

Also, yes, Hank's 40 time is absolute poo poo. Bragging about a time that even most offensive linemen can beat is a joke in itself.

Bill just went straight to the military and had no interest in college. What they show in flashbacks he may have been a solid fullback.

Kinda makes me wonder how knowledgeable about football Mike Judge and the writers actually were when they established that fact, cause I could see it originating as an error on their part and they just kept it later on as a gag Also I wouldn't really agree about your summary about Hank's life, that is an unduly harsh judgment call

I tried to think about something witty to say using the template of Peggy talking about swinging with the Gribbles but ultimately the show itself has a far better mastery of comedy than I ever could. I ran through a lot of options. They weren't very good.

There are three stages of KOTH fandom 1. You are indifferent about Peggy 2. You hate Peggy 3. You realize Peggy is an amazing character and you love her

Someone, somewhere, would have taken a shot and thrown a scholarship at the core players that got a team to the state championship, even if they lost. Maybe not Texas or Oklahoma, but a Rice or Baylor might.

I think Al had to give up his football dreams because he got Peggy pregnant and had to marry her and get a job right out of high school. I know Hank's 40 time is bad but I don't know if the writers intentionally gave him a bad one or they were just ignorant of football and we're just supposed to ignore that and assume he would have been good enough for college without his ankle injury

When learning to pet our cats, I told my daughter "Head to tail: you'll never fail. Tail to head: everyone's dead". She and our cats have a very good relationship since she learned how to rub them down.

Petting a cat in reverse is what I call cat roulette and it's very similar to propane roulette

A football injury derailing someone’s high school or college career is definitely a plot point that’s aged a little, just because of the advancement in surgeries the past couple decades. Hank not going to college at all is kind of weird though.

Besides the job selling jeans all he's done is work for Buck. He has/had a guy for cars (and Bobby's got one for vidya game systems). Having a guy or just the one boss his whole life is my dad in a nutshell.

Why do you think he was working at Jeans West right out of high school?

Pay for a fuckin leg injury?? Cotton had his shins shot off during the war, you seriously think he'd pay for Hanks clearly womanly ankle injury? I bet Tilly paid for it with her escape money.
