If you haven’t watched what is arguably the greatest show Netflix has to offer, Friday Night Lights, stop reading this right now and start season 1. FNL is full of heart, comedy, life lessons, and characters that are relatable on every level. While I’ll TRY not to give anything too crazy away in this article, I WILL list the 10 reasons why Tim Riggins is not only the greatest fictional character to ever exist, but also why every girl needs a Rigs in her life, whether it be for now or forever. CAREFUL! After reading this you will be obsessed with a football playing, southern accent speaking, long hair growing, rugged muscle having, Dillon Panther boy. If you find yourself attempting to move to Texas; I am not to blame- but I’ll see you there.
1. His beautiful, free-flowing locks.
His hair is more luscious and contains more volume than 90% of girls I know. Tim you can run your fingers through my hair any day.
2. The way he looks at Lyla.
Don't try and tell me that soft smile and look in his eyes is something you would not appreciate; it's really nothing short of perfect.
3. He does what he wants.
Riggins resisted all pressure put on him by others to work hard and excel at school, or go to college to continue his football career. While that might not be the most logical or responsible of things to ignore, all he wanted a simple life in Texas -- thats exactly what he got.
4. He walks around like this.
Do you really even need me to explain this one?
5. He's not afraid to stick up for the people he cares about.
While everyone thinks Riggins cares about nothing but beer and Texas- that couldn't be further from true (even though those are both high on his list of priorities). Tim Riggin's goes out of his way COUNTLESS times to protect and defend the people he loves and cares for.
6. He is proud of where he comes from.
Season after season Tim remained true to his roots, and he never let the "Dillion Panther Limelight" go to his head. He grew up in an anything but ideal situation-- with only his older brother to rely on. However, in spite of it all, Riggins deeply loved Texas; the place that he called home.
7. When push comes to shove, Riggins will always be in your corner.
His friendship with Jason Street had it's highs and lows, but when it came down to it he was always rooting for and supporting him. He was there when Street made his crazy trip to Mexico and traveled cross country with him to help him chase his dreams. No matter what, Riggins is nothing short of an amazing friend to everyone he meets.
8. He crosses the line at times, but when he does it is absolutely hilarious.
Tim Riggins has no filter, and I think that is something we can all appreciate. I mean really, who doesn't need a few laughs sometimes? (Even if it's at your own expense). #33 you can make fun of me whenever you would like -- I'll be waiting.
9. Tim is ALWAYS down for the get down.
RARELY do we see Tim Riggins without a beer in his hand or more than 15 feet away from a cold one. Problem? Some might say yes. HOWEVER, if you need someone to relax and drink a beer with, look no further.
10. The beautiful, amazing, make you blush more than you ever have in your life, one of a kind Tim Riggins smirk.
I could watch this in fast forward, slow motion, or frame by frame OVER AND OVER and it would never become any less attractive. One look at that face and it's game over, get me to Texas.
