i dont watch FNL and indictments like this verify my hunches:

� Previously we were told that Dillon, Texas, was a dying rural town with two motels, a strip joint and an ice cream stand. Suddenly a population boom requires a new high school, which is located in Dillon's inner city.

� Last season an obnoxious rich guy moved into Dillon and basically bought control of the Panthers' football program so his son could be the quarterback. When we saw the guy's house, it was a McMansion in a subdivision of McMansions. How could there be a subdivision of McMansions in small, dying Dillon, Texas? This year when we see the obnoxious rich guy's house, it is a 50,000-square-foot true mansion that would be considered ostentatious in the oil-wealth districts of Dallas.

� The new Dillon coach asks SuperWife Tami Taylor, now principal of Dillon High, to call the ceremonial coin toss for the opening game. He instructs her, "If you win the toss, say we want to play defense." She wins the toss and tells the referee, "We'll start on offense," just to cheese off the new coach, whom she despises. But "we'll play defense" or "we'll start on offense" make no sense at a coin toss. Texas public high schools use the NCAA rulebook, which presents the toss winner these choices: kick, receive, select a goal to defend, or defer. Except in very strong wind, the toss winner always says either "receive" or "defer." (In strong wind you might choose a goal; no one ever chooses "kick," which gives the opponent the ball and the choice of goals to open the game, then the ball again to start the second half.) If as instructed by the coach, SuperWife had said, "we'll play defense," the referee would have responded, "Huh?"
