Anyone still watching Friday Night Lights?

Now at the same time as Survivor.

Fuckity fuck fuckbags.

 

i'm here, of course. 8)

 

She's held up well. I'd hit it like a linebacker.

 

Damn. It wasn't listed on my program guide. Wish I had checked in here earlier tonight.

 

Another great episode tonight. The Riggins character has become better and better as the season has gone along. The scenes with him and the little kid are really solid.

 

estreet --

Just so.

 

Damn ... it wasn't on here. Some interview show instead.

 

The great thing about this show is nearly every player is really likable. The Seracen-Julie combo are probably my favorite couple on TV right now, and I'm having a blast watching the Tim Riggins character develop. Even "Smash" who I thought was going to be the show's villain has some depth to him. It's funny because I didn't like the movie "FNL" because I despised all of the football players. Only one of them was worthy of rooting for.
I'm really glad it sounds like NBC is sticking with the show. Can't wait to see what they have in store for the show.

 

Somewhere in Recita, CA, a mid-pubescent Jonathan Lipnicki sits in a trailer watching FNL wearing a stained wife-beater and a wispy teen moustache, and whenever he sees the phenomenal little kid with Riggins, he slams back another Pabst, crushes the can, and hucks it at the screen.

 

Very well done tonight, and way to go for Riggins nailing the neighbor. Agreed on Riggins being a great character.

If Kyle Chandler passes on TMU because of his overprivileged daughter and her "dreams," that may quit me. ... That will be a little unrealistic for what the show is, no? This is about big-time football. Is a coach really going to pass on a job to stay at a HS?

 

Nice episode. I was wondering when they were finally going to bring Saracen and Street together. I guess once they decided to give Street something to live for.
And, yes, Riggins is a great character.
As for the plausibility of the coach passing on TMU for his daughter, I don't know. I can see it, with the rationale being that the daughter will be out of high school in two years and big-time college football will still be there. This guy doesn't seem like Nick Saban.

 

it's totally realistic, the coach/daughter dynamic. coaches getting offers when their kids are in high school are huge issues for the families. sometimes, a high-school aged kid stays behind for a year while the father moves yet again. in a scenario like this one, i could totally see the coach waiting until his daughter graduates begore moving on.

he's young, and this isn't a head coaching job he's turning down, right? he can afford to be patient.

next year, street's the qb coach. the key players are all juniors, right? sweet.

oh, and the kid is great. so's his mom. brooke langdon, mmm-mmm, good.
