In response to "IMO this is really a different issue than the FNL criticisms." by Ender

I'll agree with your IM, however, I don't think they strayed too much in Dillon.

I thought an oil boom was mentioned last season or a season before.

The only thing I think Easterbrook is justified in is the coin toss which goes to the realism argument.

Responses:

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

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
