5 Shows For Football Fans on Netflix
Netflix

Football games only come on four days during the week so you have to have other options when the games go off. Netflix is home to some great shows that include the game of football for you to watch when there aren't any lives games on.

Here are five options below.

The League

If you play fantasy football you'll love this show as just as much as love your own fantasy team. It's about a group of friends who've known each other since high school competing in their own league for a trophy they call the "Shiva".

A plus to the show is that actual NFL players make cameo appearances.

Last Chance U

One of the best Netflix original series made thus far follows the season of East Mississippi Community College. Led by coach Buddy Stephens who recruits the most talented players who often have troubled past he gives them another chance ar making it. With this philosophy, EMCC has become a national powerhouse at the junior college level winning three national championships over a five-year span. Watch season one to see if they complete the three-peat.

Friday Night Tykes

it may only be peewee football but football is a religion in Texas no matter what your age is. These little kids are long away from a chance at the NFL but they play just as hard. They may be small and still developing their skills but they have the heart that it takes to play the game of football.


Blue Mountain State

After the first episode, you'll be thinking that you aren't at the right college. There are only two things that matter at Blue Mountain State football and the parties at the the Goat House. Thad Castle, Alex Moran and his best friend Sammy who becomes the Goats mascots are the stars of the show.


Friday Night Lights

The Friday Night Lights TV series is just as good as the film but neither are what the book is. It's set in Dillon, Texas and the Panthers are led by coach Eric Taylor. The team goes through all kinds of things and have to find a way to bounce back and come together as a team. Every year they are expected to win a state championship and if they don't the boosters let coach Taylor know about it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
