I grew up in depressed small town NC, and this show really hit home. Football was way more important in the school than academics, and for a lot of poor white and AA boys, it was going to be their ticket out. Play for UNC, then the NFL, buy mom a house— that was the dream. They had nothing else going for them. It was sad. And yes, My HS was State football champs two of the 4years I was there, and the game was played at UNC.

It’s what possed me off so much about the UNC athletic scandal. I knew some great kids who sacrificed so much to go to Flagship State U and play football. Virtually none made it to the NFL. And they left College with a high risk of CTE and no education. So, they never really got out.

Yay, glad I could pass on that info! Enjoy. I’m sitting here feeling sad I can’t keep watching and thinking about what happened to all the characters.

Texas Foever!

Lucky you! I'm no where near finished. If anyone finds another venue to watch through please let us know.

You can buy it on DVD or Amazon video.

Oh I know it's available for purchase. I should have added the word "free".

It’s free on Amazon Prime now! I just discovered it several weeks ago and just finished the whole series. Loved it, especially seasons 1 and 4.

OMG THANK YOU! Now I need to figure out what season/episode I'm on. I know what I'm doing later tonight.

The Post magazine just had a short thing on FNL, on the 13th anniversary of the premiere:
