just watched it on the internet.... good episode

ttt for tonight

Fat boy runs his mouth and gets beat up... Nice.

That fool got his pizass beat. That's what happens when you dis the team. Punk.

B00Bs

Bloobies!

dang...when are they going to tell jason????

I wish every episode ended with a game. But by not having one every show, they make them more meaningful.

solid episode tonight.

Not to mention they only have like 10 games a season in High School.

Good TV tonight. One of the best episodes.

Excellent episode.

i'm out on the west coast this week and i don't think it played because of the election coverage. what happened? did they get to keep the win against consol/arnet whatever?

Initially the ruling was yes, they got to keep the win. But Coach Taylor benched Tatum, causing Tatum to decide to leave town and head back to La. On his way out of town, he talked to some media about being recruited and whatnot, and the lost the win.

The main story revolved around one of the defensive lineman beating the crap out a kid and ultimately getting kicked off the team for it.

Also, Riggins sprung Street out of the rehab clinic and they went out on Riggins' boat. But when they took him back, Street saw Tim and Lyla hugging rather affectionately, and he pretty much knows about them now.

Does anybody know what time they post it on NBC's website?

i think there is a 24 hour wait window.

check back around 7 or 8 central on their website

Crap. That's a really long time.

last night was my first episode. great tv, i'm officially hooked.

When is Saracen going to hook up with the coach's daughter???

"Greater love hath no man than this..." John 15:13

Well, next week is Homecoming. That would be too obvious, so it probably won't be then. But since Coach thinks Saracen likes daughter, I imagine the situation will come to a head in the near future.

good episode.

I know it's been 6 weeks, but Street sure is moving his neck around really well now. Also, didn't he get injured in the opening game of the season. They've only played 3 games, how could he have been in rehab for 6 weeks.

They did have one bye week but your point is well taken.

Suspension of disbelief
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suspension of disbelief refers primarily to the willingness of a reader or viewer to accept the premises of a work of fiction, even if they are fantastic or impossible. It also refers to the willingness of the audience to overlook the limitations of a medium, so that these do not interfere with the illusion. However, suspension of disbelief is a do ut des: the audience agrees to provisionally suspend their judgment in exchange for the promise of entertainment.

Inconsistencies or plot holes that violate the initial premises, established canon, or common sense, are often viewed as breaking this agreement. For particularly loyal fans, these 'dealbreakers' are usually accompanied by a sense of betrayal. However, the extent to which the suspension has been compromised is often dependent on the beholder. A physicist, for example, may be more likely to question a fantastical breach of known physics, while an architect's suspension of disbelief may be damaged by being introduced to a building of unrealistic proportions. Similarly, 'common sense' is a relative term, and so the same piece of fiction may stand up or not depending on the particular audience.

Just watched it. Good episode.

I was glad to see Riggins and Street make up, but Tim and Lyla screwed it all up by hugging a little too long in the parking lot while Jason was watching.

On the kid getting beat up: I could almost empathize with Reyes for getting upset with the smack the other kid talked about how football players were losers, but beating the crap out of him took it too far. Then, when he lied on tv and to coach, I lost any empathy I had.

Is there anyone in the show under more pressure than Saracen? He and Coach Taylor are right up there together. Between the crush on Coach's daughter, taking care of his grandmother, and now having to deal with his non-football playing friends calling him a turncoat, he's got quite a boatload to deal with.

And I'll end with my regular "stupid Buddy Garrity..."

We did find out that he was a sip.

It's kinda annoying that they pulled Reyes and the fat kid he beat up out of nowhere. Were they on any of the previous episodes? Still the best show on TV though.

That might be a bit of a stretch, but it is entertaining.

Coach Taylor needs to sack up and tell Buddy Garrity to get the eff away from the program. I sense that that's coming soon to an episode near you.

Gig 'Em

Buddy seems to be the big booster behind the program, he probably has some sway in who the coach is. I'd think telling him to F-off might get a coach fired.

One question that's been bothering me: Coach Taylor was the lead assistant at Dillon before taking over, was he not? But his wife seems clueless as to how high school football works in Texas, from the boosters to the workload, to the pressures and demands placed on Coach Taylor and the kids.

I was friends with all the coaches and their families growing up, and the assistants and their families weren't any less cognizant of how Texas high school football works than the head coach. Granted I grew up in a 2A school, but on a relative scale, the pressures and demands were the same, maybe even a bit worse.

Don't get me wrong, I still love the show, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Mrs. Taylor acts like she's never been around Texas high school football before.

I think she just gets sick of it. Besides, knowing what it would be like to be a head coach while your husband's an assistant, and actually having a husband as a head coach are two different things. Maybe she's still adjusting to the promotion.

NBC just ordered the whole season!

Great news, Senor Mandingo.
