For the past couple weeks, TLC has been building the rivalry between Zach’s soccer team “The Grasshogs” and the LA Breakers. Last week when they stopped by a Breakers practice on their road trip, Zach seemed pretty scared to face them again at the DAAA games. And then on tonight’s episodes, they continued it by showing Marty harassing Zach, and introducing his new recruit - a giant dwarf who’s been playing soccer for ten years.
So I was actually pretty pumped to see the outcome of the matchup between the Grasshogs and Breakers. I was so glad when the game ended and the Grasshogs won. I think it’s great that a team of underdogs who never even practice together can beat a team that plays together all the time, and completely dominates all the other sports. And did you see the interview with Zach after they’d won? You could tell it was the highlight of his life.
Way to go Zach and the rest of the Grasshogs!!

I just got done watching the season premiere, and it was awesome! My favorite scene of the night? It had to be the part where they are camped at the RV campground and Matt tells Zach to go throw out his trash, so Zach just goes and tosses it in the fire pit in front of Amy. Our whole family, and especially my wife, was laughing when Amy goes in and chews out Matt. Let’s just say we could definitely relate to being on vacation and in similar types of situations.
Zach throwing his trash in the fire pit actually reminded me of a prior episode where the boys come back from their camping trip and Matt tells Zach to get rid of some old milk, so Zach just goes and pours it out into a flower planter on their porch. I sometimes think Zach doesn’t quite think things through when he’s disposing of trash.
It was fun seeing the spot Matt proposed to Amy. He said it was 20 years ago, so who knows … maybe they’ll do something cool on the show for their 20th anniversary.
Finally, was it me, or did anyone else think Zach was a poor sport when the kid playing goalie stopped his goal at the high school party? After he gets stopped, he punches the kid, then kicks him. I like Zach, but I thought that was pretty lame and uncalled for.

I stumbled across this video today made by a couple fans that shows Matt, Zach, and Molly on their visit to Paducah, KY back in August ‘07. Watch as Matt tells the audience that Molly’s favorite show is “Hannah Banana” (mistaken for Hannah Montana), and also reveals that his all-time favorite episode is the camping trip where Zach knocks himself on his keaster shooting the shotgun.
