Hey y’all, I am SO dang proud of us for making it through S2 of our Friday Night Lights Rewatch Project!! To state the obvious, the drinking game reeeeally helped. Like, really really helped.

But now that we’re heading into Season 3, which is instantly amazing and emotional and heart-hugging, I see the drinking game as more of an actual cheers situation, in that we’re toasting in celebration to a beautifully crafted and deeply compelling series with characters we wish we could know for the rest of our lives.

So on that note, raise a glass to your Season 3 Dillon Panthers!! Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!!

The Official FYA Friday Night Lights S3 Drinking Game

Drink once every time:

  • You want to give Matt Saracen a hug
  • Tami Taylor drinks a glass of wine 
  • Tami Taylor says “y’all”
  • Landry Clarke goes off on a tangent
  • You’re Team Tyra Collette
  • Buddy Garrity makes you roll your eyes
  • You think, “It’s JUST football, people.”
  • Gracie appears in a scene
  • You want to punch Joe McCoy in the face
  • Grandma Saracen gets riled up
  • Billy and Mindy are too much but you love ‘em anyway
  • You tear up

Drink twice every time:

  • The Panthers score a touchdown
  • Tim and/or Billy Riggins makes poor choices
  • There’s a classic Coach Taylor pep talk
  • You think, “Cash is bad news.”
  • Devin is the shit

Take a shot every time you hear:

  • “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!”
  • “Texas Forever.”

Finish your drink when:

  • Hands slap the Panther “P”
  • Smash gets into college

See y’all here next Wednesday for Mandy W.’s kickoff post on Episode One, “I Knew You When.”
