IMO this is really a different issue than the FNL criticisms.

Being true to real life is one thing, but maintaining internal consistency within your fictional universe is another.

I'll agree with your IM, however, I don't think they strayed too much in Dillon. - crash davis Nov 4, 15:50 19
- I *know* I've heard players say "We want the ball first" after winning a coin toss in college games, it's no stretch for someone to go a little off - musubi Nov 4, 16:05 8
  - the part I had problems with was the coach telling Tami "we want to play defense", no one opts to kick -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 16:08 5
    - Well if he told her "We'll defer to the second half", then that'd have to be explained to the 13-yo girls watching for the cute boys on FNL. (nm) - musubi Nov 4, 16:10 4
      - in either case, if you buy Landry and Tyra together, you shouldn't raise a stink about a coin toss -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 16:12 3
        
        I don't even know who those people are. I've never watched FNL. (nm) - musubi Nov 4, 16:43 2

  - "We want the ball and we're going to score!" -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 16:06 1
    - THAT NEVER HAPPENED! -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 16:07
- There's so many more glaring plot things than that if he wants to target the show. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 15:58 9
  - In college, coaches are hired and fired all the time to bring their kids into a program, why wouldn't that apply to HS? - musubi Nov 4, 16:07 3
    - Name me one college *head* coach who's been hired to bring his kid in... - Will Hunting Nov 4, 16:16 2
      - Wade Houston? Dillon isn't a college. If the *priciple* of coach/father works in college, I can see some variation happening in HS. (nm) - musubi Nov 4, 16:43
      - maybe Phil Fullmer had affairs with Mrs. Schuler and Mrs. Manning? -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 16:18
  - But a crazy football town throwing their coach under the bus for a promise of another state title? I can see that. - Reagen Nov 4, 16:02 3
    - And given the results of the last game...that's an absurd thing - Will Hunting Nov 4, 16:06 2
      - Yeah, I had a problem with that. -- nm - David Nov 4, 16:13
      - yeah, but Steinbrenner, Al Davis, and Marge Schott would be the brain trust of the Dillon booster club -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 16:09
  - yeah, I wouldn't fire him, but then again, I don't think HS football is the be-all, end-all - crash davis Nov 4, 16:01
