OK, Tim Riggins, Ya Got Me!

I’ve just wrapped up watching the entirety of Friday Night Lights, Season 1.  I know, I know: welcome to 2006!  It’s just that I’ve resisted watching this show for four years because I just assumed that it would be boring and/or exactly like a TV version of Varsity Blues.  Although
