Fort Worth -- The popularity of Taylor Sheridan’s “Landman” has reached the TCU football program.

Horned Frogs head football coach Sonny Dykes divulged on the Big 12 network on Wednesday that he has a new good friend in Fort Worth and he is a fan of the Paramount+ series.

“Taylor Sheridan is a Fort Worth guy, went to high school at Paschal High School, basically across the street from TCU’s campus, so it’s been fine watching all of the movie stars and stuff parade through Fort Worth.”

Big fan of Taylor Sheridan and Billy Bob.
Landman series is good story telling.
Enjoy !
Landman is mostly a West Texas soap opera. The two women are a beating. A couple of dumb storylines, like the old folks home nonsense.

Sheridan is doing some of the same as I go through Tulsa King.

He casts great lead actors. Thornton is perfect in Landman. But a lot of the scripting and story "development" is nonsense IMO.

Totally agree.

He just shoehorned the two blondes into the show, the storylines around those two are just stupid and don't add anything.

The rest of the show is very entertaining though IMO. Quite a bit corny, but entertaining. He ramps up every stereotype of all his characters to the Nth degree.

Which version of BBT does he want?? :oops:




Should start with the script in the middle of the second one. Too bad Boobie Feaster went to USC or he could ask everyone to think of our Boobie..

Then when he gets to the point of the prayer he could say, Ivory? Have the real Ivory Christian step out and lead the prayer.

I was browsing at the Waldenbooks inside North Hills mall one day right after that book came out. Hadn’t even heard of it. Looked interesting so I thought I‘d read the first couple of pages to see if my dad might like it for Christmas. Stood right there in front of the shelf it was on and read the whole damn thing.

I can relate to that. Sports Illustrated Swim Suit edition at 7-11.

After working in Aerospace for 33 years, I worked for a friend who was a wildcatter. My job was primarily negotiating well production cost, which I was suited to do. One day he asked me if I wanted to ba a "Landman", so I said sure. So he sent me to the basement of the courthouse in Montague County. After pouring over deeds and titles for two days, I said. "I'm not doing this anymore." Didn't see one hot blonde the whole time I was down there......
