I have to go to bed but I will come back and comment at greater length (or possibly even post something).
In the meantime, can I just say I totally thought of you all the way through this fab Billy centric episode? ANd ITA - the Rigginses are the white trash Taylors, bless them! Mindy being a mom to Becky is just priceless.
And Coach Taylor may know how to mold men, but he has no clue how to deal with young women, bless him. Julie annoyed the hell out of me this episode, to the extent that I couldn't feel sorry for her anymore. Jeez, girl, grow up!
ANd I'm like you = Vince better get a good send-off this season (and I was expecting his dad to get shot in the back when there was a camera angle from just outside the window, and like you feared for some collateral damage all the way through that scene!)
Anyhoo - great stuff. And next week looks v promising.

You are entirely right. If it had been pretty much any problem that a boy growing into manhood had screwed the pooch on, he'd have known how to handle it. He would have still been disappointed and probably devastated, but...in all of his years of coaching, he's probably seen any and everything...from a male perspective.
Julie's rarely fucked up. I mean, she slept with her first real boyfriend, had a semi-inappropriate, but ultimately harmless relationship with a teacher in high school (repeating old behavior much, Jules?), and dated really bad choices (again with the repeating of old behavior), but this was in a league of its own, as far as her going off the rails. And...he's just at a loss and doesn't even know where to start to fix it at all.
His sitting in Gracie's room and just...knowing that he's got to do this all over again with a tot, who's as yet completely unspoiled...ugh!
