Friday Night Lights

Did you see Friday Night Lights last night? I enjoyed the show, and it had lots of Austin-area locales in the shots: the Pflugerville stadium, the Hutto stadium (home of the "Hutto Hippos"!), EZ's restaurant on Lamar across from Central Market. Two of our members, Michele Roberts and her son Bryce, had their moment of national fame in one of the shots. I also thought that UT head coach Mack Brown's cameo appearance was hilarious: he played a businessman giving lots of "helpful advice" to the head coach at a social function. One passing line was gold: "Now, you got a great quarterback, coach, but don't get to thinking that having a great quarterback is all you need to win a national championship." The prayer from the star player at the end of the hour was a good one, too. Friday Night Lights continues next Tuesday on NBC.
