Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t forget these details.

1. Taylor Kitsch, like his character Tim Riggins, was homeless for a while and would crash at a friend's house for a few weeks at a time before finding another place. Wonder if he ever met a real-life Becky?
2. Gracie Belle Taylor was played by triplet sisters: Cailin, Madeline, and Jocelyn Landry.
3. During Coach Eric Taylor's famous speech at the state game halftime during the Season 1 finale, Kyle Chandler was extremely under the weather. Connie Britton — who played Tami Taylor — remembers him having strep throat, while Chandler said he had a bad cold...and doesn't remember filming any of that scene.
4. Matt Lauria was a track star in high school and bragged about being able to run really fast. But during his first take on his first day on set, he face-planted, unfamiliar with running on astroturf.
5. When Jason Street (Scott Porter) was injured in the pilot episode, he was not given scripted lines. When the EMTs come over to help him, executive producer Peter Berg told him to just say what he was feeling in that moment. Porter said, "Thank you."
6. Jesse Plemons (Landry) and Porter never had a scene together — with the exception of Jason once attending a Crucifictorious concert — despite being good friends in real life.
7. Riggins' nickname for Jason, "Six," wasn't written in the script. The first time Riggins visits Jason in the hospital, he calls him "Six" and it caught on.
8. Coach and Tami were supposed to have a sex scene in Season 1, Episode 2, but Chandler was so uncomfortable with it that the scene was cut and the two never had a sex scene for the remainder of the series. We're not sure why he was uncomfortable, it's CONNIE BRITTON!
9. Britton did not like the storyline when Landry and Tyra (Adrianne Palicki) murdered a man who was attacking Tyra. "I mean, that's not a hard question," said Britton, when asked what her least favorite storyline was.
10. Kitsch was supposed to turn in his state championship ring when filming wrapped, but he tucked it into his shirt and took it home with him.
