Apparently, FNL not showing up on our Dvr's is an issue.

Another OUTSTANDING episode!
Connie Britton never ceases to amaze me.

The only 'nitpick' moment I had was when Coach walked into that house after
just knocking once. Unless I thought someone was in danger I don't think I
would walk into that house. I know they had to get caught, but they should of had them at the Taylor's house. No one due home until 6.. Dad comes home 30 min early and catches them. Him just walking into that house was a stretch.

Tyra really needs to get out Dillion... and very far away from her mother.

Oh and yeah... 30 grand worth of damage? I don't think so.

Any idea who the redhead is?

No kidding the only thing that I saw broken in the Landing Strip was the ugly light. What is funny is The Landing Strip is probably the worst strip club in Austin.

Awesome episode.

Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler were excellent as usual.

I was bad at Buddy for being such a dick to Lyla even when she stayed in Dillon and supported her Dad after the mess from last season.

That sex talk between Mrs. Coach and Julie went pretty much as well as a sex talk can go between parent and child.

I bet Coach's blood pressure was up in dangerous levels for a few days after he found out Julie is not his little girl anymore. At least Matt isn't using his new found intimacy with Julie to get back at Coach, that he really cares about her.

Coach was great this ep.

Good to see Landry grow a pair in regards to Tyra

This show wouldn't be half as great as it is without Landry.

I just got caught up with the last two episodes. One big wtf moment...Coach gets ejected from the game, and it looks like he walks into some hole in the wall dive bar thats right next to a high school stadium? Huh?

Other than that, great stuff...cant wait for the finale (hopefully a season finale).

For some reason, this does not shock me... this is a town that encourages underage drinking... the school turns it's head every time Tim shows up drunk to school, practice and/or a game.. why should it shock us that there is a watering hole 30 yds from the football stadium?

Couldn't say about Texas, but here in Indiana, there are bars that are located in surprisingly close proximity to high schools.

That wasnt a home game was it? I loved Landry finally growing a pair. He should make Tyra chase him around like a little puppy for a while. With Buddy losing Lyla's college money, guess she can always go to San Antonio St. with Riggins. I am sure its nowhere near as expensive as Vanderilt.

I'm wondering if the phone call coach made from the bar will come back to haunt him. I'm sure there's got to be some kind of rule about making contact with the team after being thrown out from the game.

Kyle Chandler can say more by not saying anything than most actors can with a Shakespeare soliloquy.

I was waiting for Landry to call out Tyra on her selfishness and was glad when he did. I liked it when Tyra was fishing for a defense of her behavior from Julie and Julie sides with Landry instead. Both of these conversations set off the light bulb in her head.

Spoiler:
Based on the previews for next week, looks like J.D. and his dad square off. Should be interesting.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but please don't mention previews. Some of us don't watch them.

Since not everyone watches the previews for the next episode, I'll make sure to spoiler those comments then.
