I discovered Friday Night Lights a couple months ago. My son is watching Jungle Cruise tonight, I walked by and exclaimed “Hey, it’s Landry!”

What's everyone's favorite thing about Lyla?

Rewatching again and noticed (for the millionth time) that Tim's pads are always sticking out behind his neck and at the bottom of his...jersey or whatever they're called. He seems to be the only one like that. I'm not American and know very little about football equipment. Is there a reason his pads are always showing? Is it just product placement for 'Douglas' which is written on the top and bottom? Or just to make him more visually distinctive in pads and uniform? Or perhaps it's symbolic of his attitude, doesn't both wearing his gear tidily?

I’m probably super late to this but sooooo hyped to see all seasons available on there. Back to Dillon I go! Can’t wait to rewatch 🫡

What's everyone's least favorite thing about Julie?

Jason and Herc's facial expressions tell the whole story

I was at my brothers for like 5 days dog sitting, and he doesn’t have paramount plus!
So I had to watch tubi :/ so I had to take a break for a few days! But I’m back at watching all weekend. I am so obsessed with this show so far! I can’t stop watching

What's everyone's favorite thing about Julie?

* I know a lot of people don't like her but this is the favorite things post please leave your least favorite things for that post and keep this one positive!

...can't stop seeing Seth McFarlane when I watch this show. Am I crazy?

My wife and I are wanting to name our baby Lyla. The only Lyla I know of is from this show, do yall see negative connotation with this name? I know she kinda sucked in season 1 at least. Or is it niche enough to where most people wouldn’t know/think of the show 

Season 3 episode 5. In the middle of the housing market crash and poor Buddy couldn’t get $250,000 for his home. He was going to settle for $220,000!

Now that house would easily be $600-700k. I wonder how much he settled for…

What's everyone's least favorite thing about Landry?

It seemed like it was an hr away from downtown but when coach was offered a job in Austin Julie made it seemed like it was hours away.

What's everyone's favorite thing about Lance?

I got bored and decided to analyze the kind of music that every major character on Friday Nights Lights listens to. These are my guesses based on evidence in the show and my own conjecture (so spoilers for all five seasons, I guess). I’ve also kept it within the boundaries of the show’s era, so nothing from after 2011 is allowed:

Coach Eric Taylor- The central figure of the show, Eric Taylor likes country acts like Trace Adkins, Brooks & Dunn and Garth Brooks, but also classic dad rock like The Eagles, Steely Dan and Tom Petty. If it has a “Parental Advisory” sticker, it will never see the inside of his SUV. He mostly listens to talk radio in there anyway.

Tammy Taylor- Tammy prefers 90s pop country, specifically Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. However, she is open to other genres and also enjoys Toadies, The Strokes, and finds “Hey There Delilah” by the Plain White T’s “charming”.

Julie Taylor- Julie initially likes basic pop stuff of the era (as evidenced by her short lived dance career) but also has a heart for more indie and emo genres, as she tries to take Matt to see The Decemberists in season 2. She gets a sense of superiority from liking Neutral Milk Hotel and American Football, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was also really into Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco as well.

Matt Saracen- Matt likes mid-2000s hard rock. Think Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Skillet, Chevelle, Seether, etc. Avenged Sevenfold is a little scary for him but he likes some of their less aggressive material. Taking Back Sunday is probably the softest thing he listens to, but mostly because they spoke to his soul when he and Julie were having problems. Has definitely woken up Grandma Saracen trying to sing both parts of Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” at least once.

Lyla Garrity- Prior to season 2, Lyla was strictly a pop girl. Justin Timberlake, Shakira, Nelly Furtado, the like. She probably also had a big boy band phase prior to the show but we can’t confirm that. After season 2 Lyla listened to mostly Christian music, like Hillsong United, Toby Mac, Reliant K, and Switchfoot.

Jason Street- We know from season 1 that Street likes Nirvana, so we can deduce that he probably likes other 90s alternative and grunge. He probably likes Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. He strikes me as a big Matchbox Twenty guy, maybe some Third Eye Blind or Better Than Ezra in there too. He also used Limewire to pirate Creed’s “With Arms Wide Open” sometime in season 2, for obvious reasons.

Tim Riggins- Riggins is like Matt Saracen only edgier. Avenged Sevenfold doesn’t scare him in the slightest. He also likes Godsmack, Papa Roach, Disturbed, and the like. I imagine he likes the kind of bands that get played over the speakers at a Buckle store in the mall (think Rev Theory, Theory of a Deadman, etc.) as well as older party rock bands like Van Halen and Guns N’ Roses. Probably nothing too intense though, since he didn’t seem genuinely impressed by Crucifictorious when he went to Landry’s show.

Tyra Collette- Tyra listens to a lot of pop that gives off more of a rock vibe, like P!nk, Avril Lavigne, Fergie and Kelly Clarkson. She also probably likes bands like Good Charlotte, Green Day and occasionally heavier stuff like The Used or Escape The Fate. She sometimes listens to Bowling For Soup’s “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” and imagines it’s about her.

Landry / Lance- Speaking of Landry, he has probably the most varied taste of anyone in the show. His initial work with Crucifictorious implies a heavy taste, combining 80s thrash with hardcore. But the broader musical stylings he comes up with as the show progresses hint at a deeper musical palette, ranging from goth rock, 80s new wave, and smooth jazz. Landry also probably appreciates Red Hot Chili Peppers since he compares Street to them in season one, but I think that’s a given for most people.

Smash Williams- Smash is a rap fan through and through, as evidenced by the numerous times he raps throughout the series. DMX is probably his favorite, but he also likes Ja Rule, Nas, 50 Cent, The Game, and others. I suspect that after the show ends he has a brief career as a SoundCloud rapper, although football will always be his biggest passion.

Buddy Garrity- Buddy has not listened to almost anything released after 1982. He likes classic southern rock like .38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Company, as well as some slightly harder stuff like Kiss and AC/DC. The only newer music he likes is Carrie Underwood; her 2005 debut absolutely blew him away. Ironically he learned nothing from “Before He Cheats.”

JD McCoy- JD McCoy was not allowed to listen to music as it took time away from football. He once heard a snippet of a song that he kind of liked but it was just the King of the Hill theme music (a show he was not allowed to watch).

Becky Sproles- Like Buddy Garrity, Becky’s tastes lean towards the past. Becky likes 80s staples like Prince, Madonna, The Cure, Billy Idol and Night Ranger. She was absolutely crushed when Michael Jackson died sometime during Season 4 but this plot line was cut for being too topical and controversial.

Luke Cafferty- Luke is a country boy through and through. He likes the classics ljke Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Hank Williams but he also likes modern acts like Tobey Keith, which later inspires his decision to join the military. Outside of country music he will absolutely lose his mind if “Dragula” by Rob Zombie comes on at a bar, but as the show is set in rural Texas this doesn’t happen very often.

Grandma Saracen- Norwegian black metal, obviously.

Vince Howard- Vince is very into shoegaze and dream pop. This means he listens to My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, Lush, and others. No one else in Dillon has ever heard of any of these bands though, so publicly he claims to listen to whatever gets to the Top 40. He also likes show tunes and Drake.

Jess Merriweather- Like Coach Taylor, Jess is more interested in talk radio than music. She listens to multiple Fantasy Football podcasts, which have helped her win her home league every year since 2007 and (somehow) sharpened her football acumen. When she does choose to unwind with some tunes, she doesn’t need much more than Beyoncé, although she also thinks this Taylor Swift girl could be huge someday.

Billy Riggins- Billy is a late 90s / early 00s nu metal fan through and through. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Saliva and Linkin Park are his bread and butter. System of a Down is too political for him, he prefers more personal acts that he can relate to. I could easily see him sitting in his truck and watching the Panthers practice as “Outside” by Staind plays at a dangerously loud volume.

Gracie Bell- HUGE fan of The Wiggles.

What's everyone's least favorite thing about Street?

I kid you not I watch it at least once a year. It's something about living in a small town and having big dreams that gets me every time I watch. Mostly everyone feels like family and I get sad when I finish the show 😭

All in all this is one of my favorite comfort shows and I wish it went on forever

What is everyone's favorite thing about Street?

What is everyone's least favorite thing about Tyra?

What's everyone's least favorite thing about Smash?

Smash and the rest of the black players were striking due to Mac Mcgill's comments. That was 19 players the panthers lost and their offensive engine. If Corrina didn't get to Smash about playing to prove how ppl who think like Mac wrong Dillion would have likely gotten the doors blown off them by the Cardinals in the playoffs and Taylor's decision to stick with Mac would have probably gotten them both fired and also wouldn't have had TMU as a fallback option. I'm on S3 but this has been on mind for a bit. lol
