Friday Night Lights OT Thread #8: Because Clear Eyes Full Hearts Can't Lose
The all encompassing Friday Night Lights thread to discuss any and all actors from the show and just the show in general because even though it's been 10-years since it premiered it remains one of the most beloved shows out there. And even we sometimes have to admit the show was about more than just Tim Riggins.
"Inspired by the legendary Buzz Bissinger book Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream, and the 2004 Peter Berg movie based on it, FNL told the story of a high school football coach from Dillon, Texas, whose improbable victories mirrored those of the critically beloved — but disastrously rated — show itself. In an era when sports television was supposedly at its nadir, when elite storytelling was supposedly only the work of prestige outlets like HBO and AMC, Friday Night Lights emerged as the quintessential show about American spirit and uplift at a time when the moral and economic bedrock of our Country seemed most in doubt. Gone too soon. Appreciated too little. Treasured by those who followed it. That was Friday Night Lights." -Grantland Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Couldn't Lose - An Oral History of Friday Night Lights |

It's a town in Kentucky too and Montana and a city in Ireland. Also the name of Heath's character in Brokeback.
But I do wonder if it's a subtle nod to how they met, filming Fargo, in season 3 there's a character named Ennis. It could have been worse, it's an old fashion name. |

I've not really heard the name before. I do like old fashioned names though. My daughters both have old lady names |

I saw the top baby names of 2017 list recently and saw Evelyn pop up on there. That was on my baby list for awhile and I had a friend call it an old lady name.

The yr my daughter was born there were less than 500 of her name that entire year. Go me!!!
I had an uncle named Enis... rhymes with penis. So, yes.. it can always be worse! My grandma was Fannie Ione, we always said be glad she wasn’t Ione (i own) Fannie. She didn’t think we were as funny as we did. __________________

I have a very German, very old middle name that has passed through quite a few generations for any boys born in my family. I might have to be the one to just say no to Gerhard. Another family name that I'm bummed has become so popular all of a sudden is Hudson, that was my great-grandfather's name.

I came to post Minka's IG post too. You beat me. I thought it was so honest and emotional. Her mom was so pretty. I agree, Minka looks so much like her!
