Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose
"He's different, ya know, draws pictures, listens to Bob Dylan."
Even though this show takes place in Texas in 2006, Tim the brooding alcoholic football player is styled to look like a perfect '90s alternahunk. (I'm guessing it's just for us girls who can't really enjoy a show about high school without a Catalano figure.) Lila is a mega fox.
COACH!After doing some imdb research I finally figured out the root of my obsession with coach. Kyle Chander was on Homefront a mostly forgotten show from the early 90s. Homefront took place in the 40s and therefore had amazing outfits, red lipstick, really hot actors and that "Accentuate the Positive" song as the theme. It was about soldiers returning to their small Ohio town after WWII. Chandler played a baseball player who had fallen in love with his brother's fiance while his brother was off fighting for his freedom and whatnot. My crush on him was one of those huge formative mega-crushes you can only have when you have not yet actually ever kissed a human boy. This was around the same time I was obsessed with Luke Perry and Stephen Dorf though neither of them have aged as well as my man the coach.
Here some clips from Homefront, watch closely and you'll notice a cameo from a certain maternal figure from the O.C.:
