Mighty hunters

There are a lot of things I like about rural life, but I'll never be able to slaughter a pig. That is one of the conclusions I made from tonight's episode of "Nimrod Nation." The season has moved swiftly, and Watersmeet has already clinched the conference title and won a playoff game. Brian Aimsback, the quiet junior, is beginning to think about his future and has an awkward conversation with a prospective college coach. Sadly, he goes scoreless with the coach in attendance at the playoff game. One man attends his daughter's figure skating performance in Eagle River, Wis. It also seems that the coach's son has skipped out on the Drama Club while the coach (who doubles as principal) encourages the team to miss drama practice--all to the drama teacher's chagrin. Finally, the students' profane language has become a source of entertainment. Whether ice fishing, hunting, shooting, drinking, these kids like to swear--a lot.
