Creator/SpikeTV once decided to bring its viewers a smart, social drama focusing on young men and their lives, loves and losses in the hallowed halls of their first university...yeah, it wasn't possible to read that with a straight face.

Blue Mountain State premiered in January of 2010, and was created and executive produced by the makers of ''Series/TheSarahSilvermanProgram'' and ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia''. It focuses on three freshmen from three very different backgrounds who find a common bond in having to deal with the WackyFratboyHijinx of BMS: Alex Moran (played by Darin Brooks) is a second-string QB who [[SecondPlaceIsForWinners enjoys all of the perks]] of being on the football team with less pain and suffering. Craig Shilo (Sam Jones III) is a phenomenal RB with an overcontrolling girlfriend who hopes to ride him to wealth and fame. Sammy Cacciatore (Chris Romano, a.k.a. "Romanski") is Alex's roommate who cons his way into the team's mascot position in hopes of scoring with the cheerleaders.

Season Two introduces some more named characters into the cast, like Radon Randell, the freshman QB from Detroit who admits he used to be in prison and quickly becomes the Goats' new starter. And [=MaryJo=], Sammy's promiscuous sister who joins the BMS cheerleading squad in hopes of someday banging Alex.

In 2012, the show was not renewed for a fourth season. However, in 2014, the show's cast and creative team started a Kickstarter fund in order to make a movie to serve as the GrandFinale, which was released online on February 2, 2016.

* AllGaysArePromiscuous: Mary Jo in Season Three

* BecomingTheMask: In "Piss Test," Sammy decides that because people treat him better as the BMS mascot than as himself, he would wear the costume the whole time. However, near the end of the episode, the costume became so grotesque from overuse that no one wanted to be near him anymore.
* BiTheWay: [[spoiler: Harmon]], as confirmed in "Dic Pics".

* BreakoutCharacter: Thad started off as nothing more than the arrogant team captain who acts as an antagonist to Alex, Craig, and Sammy. He quickly became the most popular character on the show and by season two he became the most focused character aside from Alex.

* DeanBitterman: Dean Simon can apply, because although the football team does bring in a lot of recognition for Blue Mountain State, they also bring a lot of negative publicity and destruction to the school as an academic institution.

* PutOnABus" [[spoiler:Craig]] in Season Two is {{Handwaved}} as having transferred out of BMS, considering the actor playing him was arrested by the DEA for [[http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/world/smallville-star-in-drug-bust/story-e6frfkui-1225789800489 intending to sell large quantities of oxycodone]].

* DeconstructiveParody: Thad is one of they 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''.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Thad screams in a higher pitch more suited for a teenage girl than a twentysomething football player.

* ItTastesLikeFeet: The football players describe Thad's pocket pussy like this, saying it feels like banging a waterfall and a chocolate souffle. When one player describes it as like having sex with a silk bag full of puppy ears, Craig asks how he could possibly know what that feels like.

* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Sometimes, despite Alex's best efforts to stay off the field, the universe conspires to make him start at QB during crucial games.

* BreakoutCharacter: Thad

** The actor playing Radon Randell won't be appearing in Season Three for similar reasons.

* DeadpanSnarker: Alex.

* DumbJock: Literally the entire team, to the point where some are borderline illiterate. Even Alex, probably the smartest, is more of a GuileHero and otherwise pretty BookDumb.

* APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy: Every single Goathouse party.

* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Sometimes, despite Alex's best efforts to stay off the field, the universe conspires to make him start at QB during crucial games.

** The climactic scene in "The Fingering" is a parody of the movie ''Film/OneHundredAndTwentySevenHours''.

* HookersandBlow: Thad (and later Alex) both do a line off the stomach of a co-ed. Thad especially has a propensity towards cocaine, getting in trouble between Season 2 and Season 3 on account of drug charges, spawning [[https://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb04ioIEbP1qjzk4ko1_400.gif this gif]].
