So I think it’s been pretty well-established fact that I’ve had a historical inability to absorb or be moved by football. Well-documented and, if you ask Conrad, really annoying. But nonetheless, I was pretty sure I was going to feel this way about football forever. Did I mention the Piles of Manflesh Obscuring the Ball? They’re kind of annoying!
But see there’s this other thing I really love, which is Texas. Sorry! Deal! I love Texas. I love everything about Texas except the things I hate which I’m pretty sure is the way everyone feels about someplace they know really well. And I get, well, there’s no other way to say it. I get really nostalgic about Texas.
And I guess I’m a little late to this party, but apparently, there is one way to make me scream and shriek during a football game: set it in Texas.
I’ve only watched the pilot and already, I’m hooked. Poor Stuart.
I don’t even understand the game, and I’ve only been to the US (and to Texas) once, but I was still utterly hooked by it.
It’s excellent. Stuart will love it too.
i think this just goes to show how much reading i do about europeans. i live in canada and you live in the states, and yet i just assumed you were talking about soccer. yay globalism?
Just you wait…it gets even better! I think it’s one of the best shows on TV right now. So glad they gave it another chance for this Fall. Enjoy and here’s a little nugget to get you excited for more…WWRD (What Would Riggins Do)
Oh, Krissa. I’m with you. If the NFL had Coach Taylor, Tim Riggins and Matt Saracen, I’d be their BIGGEST fan!!
Friday Night Lights is the perfect gateway drug! Only 80 or so days until the season starts. You and Stuart should come over and watch a few games with Kate and I! As long as you don’t become a Cowboys fan. The Texans aren’t as good, but they’re spunkier.
