utterly fantastic: simultaneously vast & sweeping & intensely claustrophobic; the sway back & forth bet. inertia & momentum, home & Lyla, feel perfect & heartbreaking & intense. Oh, Tim Riggins. And god, the writing: fantastic.
Maybe it was just that afternoon itself, the long drive he took east out of Dillon after escaping from the babysitting duty Mindy was always trying to foist on him, heading nowhere in particular, & out the window to either side, the long flat forever of cows & fields & Texas Texas Texas, far as the eye could see. Used to be the sight of it made him smile, made him feel like he was home, laughing in his truck with Street in the passenger seat holding Lyla balanced on his lap, all three of them waving at the police as they passed 'cause nobody gave the Dillon panthers' star quarterback & starting fullback trouble in this town.
Thought, Texas forever, to himself, then had to pull the car over for a minute & get out, kick at the dirt & breathe, breathe, breathe.

Insightful look at Tim Riggins. Vivid, all the characters feel spot-on.

Texas hasn't been the same since Lyla left. At least not
if you ask Tim. Poignant and beautiful.
