The Naked Mile. Oh stupid freshmen. Coach Taylor's reaction is priceless! 
This was just heartbreaking. Jason Street has the worst story, but I love that he's doing everything in his power to make the most of what he's got. What I love most is that his son has given him a reason to keep pushing forward and it broke my heart to see him say goodbye to him. She totally could have stuck around and tried to make it work. But I see Jason leaving the show and moving East to be with his boy.
OK, this is just a recipe for disaster. When they introduced the idea of this in the previous episode, I knew it was a bad idea all around. Flipping houses in this economy? With these goofballs? Oh boy. That's a big gamble to put all your hopes and dream on. May the force be with you.
From one bad idea to another. Really, Landry? You're still pursuing this band thing? The first time I saw his band, I thought, WTF? Same thing now. I give you props for keeping up the dream, man.
I don't know about this cowboy. Something about him I don't trust, and obviously Tyra thinks the same thing. I feel like he's only going to let her down. Focus on school and getting out of Dillon, Tyra. You've got a chance to make more out of your life.
And this is your future if you don't get out of Dillon. The fact that you are repulsed by this dress is sign that you don't belong in that town. I can't believe they think this dress is classy. It's got butterfly wings and a big bow on her butt! And there's butt cleavage! The sad thing is, that there really are people out there who think this dress a good idea. Sigh.
This was one of my favorite scenes. I love how Coach and Julie rounded the corner only to see Matt and his Grandma. The look in his Grandma's eyes was great. You could see that the Coach was in big trouble. I love how she reduced big, bad Coach Taylor to a child being scolded. The only thing Matt and Julie could do was walk away.
The shot right after this was of their shoes. It's those little details that I love. You feel the friendship, but you can also sense that there's something more there that they're not quite ready to acknowledge. I like the way they've handled the Julie/Saracen relationship this season. They capture the innocence of it in such a great way. You can feel the butterflies, the fear, the attraction...every feeling that comes with that first love. And the chemistry between these two actors--perfection.
Awww...love how Coach can get Grandma Saracen to give him a hug. Too bad he can't make her grandson QB1 again. Just not gonna happen with the all-star freshman on the team.
Only reason I added this image is because I love that smile. I have such a crush on Saracen. 
Didn't I say this was a bad idea? Holes in the wall? A $1,700 toilet?! Seriously? Oh boys, you really need some help. Badly.
Saracen demoted and hating every minute of it. On one hand he really needs to suck it up and be a team player. On the other, he did everything he was told and still got the short end of the stick. This really is just a sad, lonely shot.
JD McCoy's dad really needs to calm down. He's making Dan Scott on OTH look like a saint. Let him bond with his team and have some fun. He's a kid, not a machine. Can't wait until Coach gives him the smackdown. You can see it in Coach's face that he won't be able to keep his mouth shut for long. 
I'm glad Lyla and Riggins finally got it together. I love the interaction between these two in this scene. She's beautiful and he's hot, yet they have that teen love vibe going on between them. Instead of groping each other they're engaging in this cute, subtle foreplay. I love it.
You tell him Tyra! It sucks that her love life is always crap, but I think that's what she needs to help her get out of this town. I think a great guy will only keep her from going out into the world. Like I said, something about this cowboy I don't trust. Maybe it's the pill popping.
OK, the additon of the girl makes this band much better. Move aside Landry, I think you've got a new lead singer. And she's right, you really need to stop writing songs about Tyra. It's done. Move on.
I love how Coach is still a dad to his ex-players. I'm sure he still feels some guilt about Jason, but I also feel as though there's some genuine love there also. Now that Smash is off to bigger and better things, it's time to focus on Street.
He may be telling the truth, but he's still hiding something Tyra. Watch your back.
JD McCoy, the new star of YouTube. I'm sure he got this sloshed after one drink. What would your Daddy say, boy? Oh yes, he's going to make you apologize to the Coach for your bad behavior. This kid's story is going to get interesting. Maybe there's still hope for this character. Part of me thinks he's going to end up being gay, which would definitely be a great new storyline.
These two have some off-the-charts chemistry. I love how he just snuck up on her and that he was late because he was helping Street paint. Even though they argue a lot, there's so much love.
And they score! It took us a while to get here, but I'm glad they took it slow. Although, I don't think Coach is going to be too happy with Saracen when he finds out. And you know he's going to find out. Can't wait to see that scene. It's going to be awesome!
Again, it's the small things, the glances, the touches, the shots others think are so insignificant but are so important to creating the mood and conveying the feelings in the scene. When you watch this whole scene play out, it really special and very touching. You can feel the emotions and that's the great thing about this show. Yes, there are compelling stories about this little town in Texas about everyday people, but it's these moments that make the show special. Life is made up of these moments. They are the ones we hang on to and that stay with us for a long time.What can I say? I just love this show. Powers that be, please give it another season. Pretty please?
