Hey y’all! It’s time for us to head to East Dillon for Season 4, and damn, what a season this is. It’s got heartbreak and humor, football and feuds, and greetings and goodbyes. For those of you who’ve never watched this season, I am SO excited for you to meet Vince and Jess and Luke and yes, even Becky, but I’m also warning you, Season 4 packs a PUNCH. Unlike Season 2, which straight up requires alcohol to get through it, these next thirteen episodes will have moments when you want to raise a glass in salute or celebration, and they’ll have moments when you’ll want to cry into your cocktail. The writers are not playing around, y’all, so make like Tim Riggins and grab a beer, then get ready: it’s game time.

Oh, and one more note: while there are plenty of new rules, we’ve also tweaked a few of the old ones, so make sure you catch the updates!
