    A little boring I should say. I don't mean to offend anybody but I am here to give an advice to something they need a wake up call because the show seems to be really going low and it is just sad to hear that anyway I hope that this show would progress more.

    Tim Riggins wants to give up drinking and he's working out hard in the weight room and had the football game of his life. Go Tim Riggins!!!
    Smash Williams talks a good game but was unable to back it up and he's starting to experiment with steriods. Jason made an emotional appearance at the Homecoming game, which was really great but he suspects that something is going on with Lyla and Tim and he seems tortured. Matt is really nervous around Julie but he did ask her out even if he tried to back out of it. That was a hilarious moment. The biggest issue of the night was the year 2000 state champion quarterback Lucas Mize. He came back to town during Homecoming and lied about his after High School success and asked Coach Taylor for a coaching job. I have to keep watching to see what happens with Tim and Smash. Will he start drinking again? Will Smash put the needle down and stop using steroids?moreless

    He may be a bad boy, he may have been a teen drunk, but we learned so much about why he is the way he is and he just needs a good girl to make him whole. I wish I lived in tv land so I could be that girl. His character just gets better and better with every new episode he has everything you needs in a lasting character. On to other things...I\'m glad that ol\' boy finally asked out the coach\'s daughter. I kind of miss voodoo though, he could have brought a lot more drama than they wrote for him.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • In the scene where Tyra and Billy are moving the alcohol around getting ready for the party it is sunny, clearly daytime. When Billy runs into the RV and switches on the radio to listen to the beginning of the homecoming game they quickly switch to the football field where it is dark out. Edit
    • "Remember Me as a Time of Day" by Explosions in the Sky This song is incorrectly credited on the Closed Caption of every FNL episode. The theme song is an original recording created for the show and and can not be found on any of Explosions in the Sky's albums or the Friday Night Lights Movie soundtrack. Edit
    • The team Dillon played in this episode is the Leander Lions from Leander, TX in real life. Leander is a suburb of Austin similar to Pflugerville, where the show is shot/based. Leander and Pflugerville are both in district 14-5A and play each other every year. Edit

    • Tim: Waste of friggin' time, huh? Lyla: Look, I know you hate me right now, and I understand Tim: I don't hate you, Lyla. It'd be a lot easier if I did. Lyla: I don't know how to talk to you when you're like this. I mean, God it's not even 7 o'clock and you can barely stand. You can blame me if you want, Tim. You can blame the whole world for all I care, but if you think being drunk all the time is gonna make this any easier, you're wrong. It's not cool or charming. It's just pathetic and gross and I feel sorry for you. I really do. Tim: Lyla. Edit
    • Smash: Look, no disrespect, sir. I just want to say flat out. If you got a list, I don't just want to be on it. I want to be number one. Grady: Well I hope you can play as good as you talk. Now's your time, son. Show me what you got. Smash: Thank You. (shakes Grady's hand) Edit
    • Mindy: It's Homecoming, everybody's gonna be at the dance. Can't fight tradition sweetheart, not here. Billy: Then we'll start a new one. Tyra: Exactly, the anti-Homecoming. Mindy: Uh-huh Tyra: Mm-hmm Mindy: We gotta go. You're too young to be in here anyway. Tyra: Whatever. Billy: Hey, Clear eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose……Damn. Edit
