What's high school football mean to this Texas town? Absolutely everything when the stakes are as high off the field as they are on.
There seems to be a nicer balance between the football and the drama of the series. I am starting to tire of the pseudo-shaky camerawork and the extreme close ups on faces during the dramatic moments–especially when it’s close ups of two people who are a few feet away from each other.
I’ve spent part of the day cleaning up some of my checkin data on my website. As I was going through I realized a quirky error had duplicated many and was somehow stripping out additional photos.

There was also another code error which was mixing many of the checkins into my longer form articles. I’ve got a temporary fix, but need to create a filter to fix things longer term. While fixing it, I couldn’t help hearing the haunting words of Richard MacManus who recently said “…I certainly don’t want a bunch of other peoples’ checkins clogging up my feed reader.” Though I’ve spent some time trying to split out content types, I can’t help but think he was referring specifically to me. Sorry Richard!

The first two episodes are a bit too football centric. Not sure how long the series might have gone without toning the football action down.
