15 Reasons Why We Love Friday Night Lights

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lasell chapter.

Even if you don’t like football, or sports, or television for that matter, everyone loves Friday Night Lights. Here are the top 15 reasons why we love FNL:

 

1.      Coach Taylor finding little ways to hate on Julie and Matt’s relationship.

 

2.      Tim Riggins

3.      The amount of times Coach Taylor taught us valuable life lessons in the five seasons of FNL is unreal (keep your eyes clear, people, because we may or may not follow up on this one in the future).

4.      The number of times Julie had to remind her parents that she is basically a vegan (IRL, though).

 

5.      “Don’t forget to move your feet, Matthew.”

 

6.      Tim-Protecting-Julie-from-the-Tornado Tim

 

7.      The motherly-love Tami had for literally everyone at Dillion/East Dillion

 

8.     Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose, obviously.

9.      Tami and Coach because goals.

10.   Wait, did we mention Tim?

 

11.   How Tyra turned her life around and by the end of the series we were obsessed with her.

 

12.   When Matt’s dad died and he realized that he hated him

 

13.   Luke

 

14. 33. Wait, is that Tim Riggins again?

15. The enthusiasim Coach Taylor had when the Panthers/Lions ran a good play.

 

 

Texas Forever.
