The Town of Odyssey

Rap, basketball, and Jay. Is this the perfect mix?

1. Where did this Odyssey Owl Network come from?

2. I expected more rap. It was barely there.

3. Hit the coach in the head with a basketball now. >_<

It really reminded me of the episode with the mascot, I can't remember the name of it now, but i kept thinking I'd heard this before.

Readers of the Kidsboro books: Did anyone else think the scenes with Ryan and Olivia were awkward since Kelly Stables used to play Jill, Ryan's love interest in the Kidsboro books?

Nice job taking a story from recent pop culture: Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin, and turning it into a timeless episode. Very entertaining, and fun to finally see Ryan and Brad interacting with other people besides the Kidsboro kids.

Yes! Before the AIO season started, I was most looking forward to this episode and it delivered. Excellent work, AIO team.

EDIT: The AIO team did so many things well. In particular, Jay's edginess made the show. I enjoyed Camilla's blunt questions, the tension between Ryan and Brad, and Nelson's comment, "Has it ever occurred to you that the reason he is nice is because of the prayer stuff?" The upbeat musical transitions were fantastic too. I was quite surprised to hear about Lightning Livingston, but nice continuity.

LIGHTNING LIVINGSTON! Wow, it's hasn't been since Peace on Earth that we've heard him, or even mention thereof, so I was really excited about that. Also, I do like that we get AIO's thoughts on Tim Tebow and all that jazz. I'm glad that Ryan was able to remember "We praise Him when we win, we praise Him when we lose."

*this should probably be unstickied by now

After listening to the rest of the episodes this season, The Holy Hoopster is easily my favorite of the season and the past few years. It is possibly an all time favorite.
