My major concern is that the next two seasons will be a re-hash of the previous seasons with a new cast at a new school. Their are only so many plot angles you can take with a high school football team.

Just finished watching it, setting up an interesting plotline for next season
*****SPOILERS********












Questions:
Is Landry going to UT w/ Tyra now that she got in?
How bad is Coach Taylor & E. Dillion going to beat Dillion and that prick McCoy next season? I can't believe the school board actually voted to pass that. RIDICULOUS!
Anyone else bummed Saracen decided to stay in Dillion? He needs to get out of there and get an education. Hopefully he'll go to school w/ Julie the following year

I could see Landry following Tyra to UT since, well that's what he seems to always do.
I'm not so sure E. Dillon is going to be a juggernaut right out of the gate. The boosters are still gonna do some under the table stuff to get players to Dillon (re-drawing the school districts line). How much did that contribute to Coach Taylor's success at Dillon will become very clear.
And I agree, Matt needs to get out of Dillon and do something with his life.

A little disappointed with the season finale, probably because it'll be many months before the show's back on again. Would like to see a longer season out of the series, like the first year it ran.

The ending with him going to E. Dillon sets up for new cast members, but could be a bit much if they try to incorporate last 3 season regulars into the show in some form. That's probably the one thing I hope doesn't fail for the show.

I bet Coach Taylor will find a way to make sure those district lines are kept the way they are supposed to be. Remember a few episodes ago when Buddy and others were looking at the map, Buddy said that Dillon would lose a lot of players when they reopened E. Dillon? Watch it happen now and East will beat Dillon even with the poor facilities.

I skipped all last season, for whatever reason.. seriously, is that the reason for Garrity being single? I really haven't watched it since the first year with Smash whatever, until about a month ago.

I wonder if Mrs. Taylor is going to stay principal at West Dillon. The battle b/t East Dillon and West Dillon should be epic, especially since West Dillon has that kid with a hair lip playing for them

Yeah Tyra's mom got the position of secretary at the dealership where she was doing more than taking phone calls. Word got out and Lyla's mom asked for a divorce from Buddy. She met a tree-hugging hippie who owned the local health food store. They got engaged & married and moved out to Cali with the two younger Garrity kids while Lyla stayed in Dillion w/ her pops.

Thanks, well as much as he has been begging for the daughter to come back to him the last couple of weeks, I wouldn't have let her see me dance with Tyra's mother at the wedding.. I guess it's just TV huh?

Wait, wait, wait.....

.........did Matt decide at some point to stay in Dillon? All I saw him do was get his Grandma out of the nursing home and tell her he was taking her home. Did he actually say he wasn't going to Chicago? Did I miss that?

I really liked the episode and I think it makes for a good storyline with Coach Taylor building up a rival against Dillon, but that was VERY unrealistic.

All Taylor had to do was stand up at the meeting and say "Look. These people are carpetbaggers. They are going to leave you high and dry in 3 years when JD goes to college and you'll be screwed. They don't care about this town or this school, and they are just passing through."

Done.

Just frustrating cause Coach would have played his hand better than that lame speech at the end.
