(tonight, i know there are other examples. i'm just a guy.) mrs. coach (pissed) would say, whaa, whaa, whaa... coach would look her in the eye (right or wrong) and say "ok..." and then mrs. coach (still pissed) would say, whaa, whaa, whaa... and coach again would look her in the eye (right or wrong, again) and again say "ok..." that is why i love coach and mrs. coach. that is how you make things work. leave your petty shit outside the door. remember who you are talking with. you work out the details later. never let that shit in the moment fuck you up. the restraint of this couple is amazing. that was my parents. who loved each other until the day they died. that is why i love this show...

My take on the Riggins situation is that the drug dealer will notice that Riggins came and got his stuff, and also the money is missing. He will put 2 and 2 together, and maybe Riggins was to get killed off maybe in the series/season finale. However since the writers didn't get that far, I'm guessing nothing happens in the next few episodes we get. Where the hell was Landry and Tyra at tonight? Best story line of season 2 IMO and they are a no show in the episode. So was Saracen too, for the most part. I'm not all that into the Mrs. Coaches sister storyline.

Coach is wonderful - he had absolutely no clue about the dynamics of what was going on. He even feebly repeated it, almost whining - "but I'd like lasagna." Best couple in TV history.

I'm guessing that gun gets used in a robbery or murder and it will have Riggins fingerprints on it now. Poor Riggins can't catch a break. Where has 6 been lately? Yeah. Considering University of Texas at Austin is the main campus for UT, it's very obvious that TMU is a made-up school.

I googled it and it turns out that the TMU facilities are filmed at Texas State University, which I know nothing about. Too many schools in Texas -- UT, A&M, SMU, TCU, Texas Tech, Houston, Baylor, Rice, probably others. I love the simplicity of the eastern states where there's a snooty University and an unfairly maligned State school, with an occasional private school nipping at their heels. Solid ep last night. Glad the cradle robbing slutbomb mommy's gone, and likewise to the Riggins cradle robbing Julie plotline. It sucks the crazy drug dealer story got ramped up. Yeah, the game definitely was forfeited in Dillon's favor. Instead of just saying the game's over, the ref should've declared that it was a forfeit, or at least awarded Riggins TD to Dillon somehow. I like how the writers didn't let the situation descend into chaos, but instead just had everyone go WTF quiet and get off the field. I love this series.

That is what we have here in NC - Snooty = unc chapel hill, Maligned State School = NC State, Private School = Wake Forest in football, Duke in basketball.

Posts: 18918 (01/12/08 8:45 PM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I always took TMU to be a fictionalized version of UT-Austin (major state university) with the almost-elite sheen of SMU (Southern Methodist University). Really nervous for Riggins and his decision to steal that money. You KNOW that at some point that's gonna come back to haunt him (assuming that this show is brought back after the strike). What a difference a show makes. I never thought much of Connie Britton as an actress (of course, the only thing I'd seen her in was 24), but she's brilliant in this series. I love every scene she has. Ditto for Kyle Chandler. Talk about two actors who should be nominated in the BEST categories for dramas. Speaking of Chandler, I loved his talk with Smash and his "agent." Good, good stuff. The writers could never come up with any plot element to make me feel the least bit sympathetic to the Laramie coach. I don't care if his wife had ebola.

Did anyone else notice that one of the recruiters early in the show, I think he was from Georgia, left a bag of peanuts on the coffee table in Smash's living room. I'm thinking that might come back to haunt him.

Look at Michael Crabtree - best receiver in the country - playing at Texas Tech. As long as its in Texas, it will get some attention. And yep, that could mean something with them 'boiled peanuts'

Yep its a forfeit.... Also glad they showed the Coach talking to smash...about this stuff.... I am glad they showed that talking to the Coach is the smart thing to do....Even though Smash did not Listen..... he did not talk to his mom before making a Verbal, he did not take his time..... he actually allowed himeself to get bullied into it....with the recuriter saying can I take that as a Verbal...but that is realistic behavior these recruiters are hounds.... Also its always tough to make a BIG name school like a Bama...or Texas..USC... because they usually have the best RBs from each recruiting class every year...well top 10 at least... and Smash just does not seem like to me he would be top 100 national recruit.....just my own observation on watching the show...lol... oh christ it sounds like I am breaking down game flim...lol.. any way good episode... and I dont think Riggens will get shot...it will be his Brother(is that riggen's brother?)... or maybe the woman his brother was living with...something will happen that will cause him to go into a big tailspin...... Maybe not graduate... so he has to repeat senior year....lol.....

I'm glad they got rid of Carlotta, and it looks like Noelle too. I never really bought either relationship. "eh" about the new Lyla-Tim-BibleBoy love triangle. Tim-Lyla-Street was so much better. I also really liked the whole conflicted about day care storyline--except that Coach doing "research" on the internet seemed out of character to me. But overall a good episode. And a "6" sighting! About time!

Posts: 1167 (01/19/08 6:43 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Yeah, from what I'ved read there should be 3 more episodes left. And yeah, Tyra and Landry went from front burner back to bit players it seems. I don't mind Carlotta leaving either. One thing that does bother me is Matt's grandma seems to have gotten better this season. With Alzheimer's it gets steadily worse. Believe me, I know, my mom is in the last stage of it now. I was glad to see Santiago not revert back to being a thug. Tim being in love with Lyla seems to have come out of nowhere, even though, I know they've been together before. Tami not wanting to leave the baby at the day care really rang true, too.

My biggest problem came with the Smash storyline. The parents' reaction was very real, but I thought the movie scene was a little 1950s in their portrayal of racism. In today's world, the star black football player dating a white girl probably wouldn't register on most people's radar.

Yes it would, and not just in small town Texas either. Even a football star like Smash would be A OK to many (white) people until he crossed the line of dating a white woman. I thought the confrontation in the movie theater was a bit over the top and reeked of network interference. However, the sideway glances of disapproval at the concession stand (as well as the ribbing from his teammates) seemed just right. I hated the Tim Riggins/Lyla storyline though. Too Sweet Valley High for me. Glad they got rid of Carlota though.
