• The story picks up in August.

• The East Dillon Lions, with only two wins last season, are to take on the state champions this week in something called The Whataburger Kickoff Classic.

• Both Julie Taylor and Landry Clarke are now high-school grads and spend most of their components of the episode saying goodbye.

• Landry’s band performs a final concert, and they sound great.

• Coach Taylor tries to recruit a basketball star who tells Taylor football is played by a lot of “roided-up toolbags,” which I found hilarious.

• Tammy is settling in as guidance counselor at East Dillon, trying to help at-risk kids.

• Both Jess Merriweather and Becky Sproles have lost parents to out-of-town job opportunities.

• There’s a lot of Billy Riggins in the season premiere. We learn Tim still sports the long locks.

• There’s a funny line about colonoscopies.

 

 

Personally I love this show and am glad to have something back I like to watch Friday nights.

I'm sad to see the show go, but I thought the final season was pretty good and the finale was a nice ending to a great show.
