friday night lights

Ready?!? Okay!!!
Tomorrow night my very favorite show, Friday Night Lights,
returns to NBC.
It has everything and nothing to do with football.
The reviews are stellar going into season 4.
I love this show so much because it reminds me of growing up. We lived in a small Texas town a lot like the one on the show. My dad was the football coach there. When we were tiny, Dad would take us kids to the locker room and toss us in a big shower with multiple heads. Presto! Five kids bathed and ready for bed and a brief break for Mom. Here I am with Dad around 1980 when both of us had darker hair. Long retired from the game, he is still greeted warmly about town as "Coach."
Set your Tivos. You'll be a fan.
Here's the finale from last season to get you caught up.

  2. Those knee socks, sweater and turtleneck must have been mighty hot during September's Indian Summer evenings in Hico! Did your high school have a six-man team?

  4. please remind me who you are mom3215....i do recall waiting anxiously for the weather to feel cool enough to wear our "dress" uniforms. you know around here that's often around november when the season is almost over! we were a 2A school and didn't play 6 man, although nearby iredell did. the 6 man tourney is now held every year in hico. it's a totally different game.
