->'''Coach Taylor:''' I wanted everyone’s friends and family to be in here to hear this, gentlemen. I have never been more proud of the team than I am right now. I am in awe of each and every one of you gentlemen. You played great football tonight. This is the game that people are gonna talk about for years to come. This is the game ''you'' are gonna talk about. There is not one person in this room who’s ever gonna be the same. You be proud of yourselves -- because gentlemen: you ''are'' champions.

* The episode “Homecoming” isn’t only named for the Panthers’ titular game. This is [[WheelchairWoobie Jason Street’s]] first appearance at the Panthers’ field since the [[CareerEndingInjury injury that paralyzed him.]] When he comes through the sectioned banner, the crowd is momentarily stunned, but once the announcer introduces him, the fans gave him the hero’s welcome he deserves. What’s more is the Panthers win.
