This pain won’t go away once every single person at that game is dead. -Hank Hill

i played football in the mid to late 80's in upstate new york a little town called Norwich, we did not have lights so we played on saturday afternoons in a valley with the leaves of all color, the hills were under fire. I remember walking to the high school before the game kicking the leaves as i'm walking. Not Texas but I still have the same memories. About our little town of Norwich New York, there is a 4 page column in one of the 1993 sports illustrated magazine called.... my kinda of town, this was the year when Norwich played in the state championship, if you like football (High School football) and a home town feeling then this is the read for you.

I work at Permian HS…never seen the movie or the TV show. Go MOJO!

My favorite sports movie growing up made me love football even more! MOJO football baby!

The way that ivory and Brian look at each other, you'd think they're adopted brothers who spent time away from each other.

Every high school senior team plays for tradition

Heres a cool story, bro. I played highschool football, on the same team as the Bill Dozer. We womped all other teams, including Dallas Carter and Polk High, as i had 4 touchdowns in those games!!!

Anyone with a functioning brain from Odessa, Texas rightfully hates Buzz Bissinger.

Amazing ‼️

Nothin like home sweet home, born of dreams and success.. stay well and vigilant. Go Mojo. Class of 81’. Rock on guys.💯🇺🇸😎🌪🌎

I wish I could've played for a team like this when I was in high school but when I went to C.E. King from 1998 until 2002, they just weren't anywhere near as good as they are now.

If the writer of. Friday night lights , came out a little further west around that time he would've found Fontana steelers Football tradition, .. Go Permian

I remember as a kid watching the 2002 world serise. ANGELS VS Giants. Angles starting pitcher John Lackey when asked how hed handle the pressure of pitching in the world serise. His response was that he played HS football in TX and the pressure of the world serise was nothing in comparison

Why tf did the show change their colors from awesome to awful…?

I will never forgive the TV show people for changing the greatest colors a team can have to the ugliest blue and yellow I’ve ever seen

Why change the first names..?

finally! killer book...............................

I saw the SNL show the night it aired and the career self destruction just slapped everyone in the face.

That movie came out when I was still playing high school football. I was in awe thinking how cool it would be if my team/town was like that. Then again that was in the 80’s and things were different then.

Notice how high school football players aka Al Bundies… turn out fat and bald

I remember 1973 Snyder Texas Tigers Played Permian. I was a Senior. We lost to permian by 3 points. A field Goal by a Kicker who later kicked 63 yards against Abilene High School for a state record

If high school football was your best days your life is a failure

I played high school football in Illinois from 93'-97' and met a Texas boy a lil older than me and he said that alot of those kids are juicing in Texas because it means so much

I played at Waxahachie HS, in Waxahachie, TX. Every team we lost to in the playoffs won state. We lost to Ennis my sophomore and junior year, Ennis won state both years. We lost to Denton Ryan in the playoffs, Denton Ryan won state. In 2002, we lost to Denton Ryan again in the playoffs. They won state I believe. In 2003, after I graduated in 2001, we lost to Corsicana HS in the playoffs. Corsicana lost to Smithson Valley who won state that year. That's one thing I miss, the locker room, the friendships, the battles in practice, the games, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS...

Many of us will never ride that emotional high that football used to bring to us. I played QB, I got to start as a senior finally, after sitting two years behind an eventual D1 stud. The day after our last game as a junior, I knew I would have every shot to start and be the next guy. I got my shot. Everywhere I went I felt like a celebrity, everyone asks about how the team looks, comments on how good we look in practice, they can’t wait to see us play. Folks would come watch us practice and their little kids would line the fence leading to the field…almost like you were a real NFL player. It was magical. The newspaper chooses one player at the beginning of each year to do an exposé on, and I was the lucky guy. I couldn’t believe it and 17 years later, when I think about it all, and what we did, it was quite a time. Although we didn’t meet expectations, it will be a cherished memory forever. Hanging with my teammates, going for food, playing video games at the selected house of the week, fake WWE matches, real boxing matches, hot tub parties, drinking stolen beers by a fire in the middle of a field in the heart of Pennsylvania. Scoring that first touchdown, tossing that first touchdown pass, man those memories will never die. The younger kids lining the fences to give you a high five walking back to the locker rooms at halftime, you were really a celebrity for a couple moments in time. Those time don’t last, and you never realize how much you miss them until time passes. Now I’m a dad, I have two children of my own, so I can take my kids to the football games, with my grandfather, just like my dad used to do with me. Football is more than a game sometimes. It brings communities together around a bunch of kids, playing a game that we all wish we could lace them up for, one last time. When the band plays “Ironman” by Black Sabbath, (our school mascot is the ironmen), I still get a little juiced, all these years later.

“Everyone can relate to someone in the book”

Texas made football a passage to becoming a man more so than being good. That's what perfect means to me. Can you play as boys together and become men by last game

Excellent!!!

Is there an audiobook ?

I have read the Chinese version of the book twice; the book inspired me quite a lot when I was in very depressed mood. We always try to work harder for getting more, but do not even notice what we already have. This pursuit makes us ignorant, selfish and never say thanks to what gods' have given to us. Reading the book teaches me how to be grateful to my life, to people around me, and to gods!

The movie was awful...

Now there are ideas about a 21 club, but with rappers this time

Of course he’ll say it’s nonsense bc he was told not to say nothin

Nice 👍

I attended my first game there last night. Permian 49 Odessa 28

Being perfect!!!

I live here

Why is the story/movie about this year, and not the next year where they won?

If you love The Replacements or the Stinsons or Paul or Minnesota or Music or the complexities of LIFE, you must read this book. Wealth of details over 400 pages. Well done Bob, my hats off to you. Paul, Tommy, Chris, Slim, Anita thank you for allowing us strangers into your world. We love you.

The best sports movie in my opinion. I love this movie and I’m in marching band 😂

To people outside of Texas, the thought of driving three hours to a high school football game is unheard of. Texas HS football is the real deal.

I am really happy that i have been cured from (herpes virus ) with the herbal treatment of Dr Alabi, i have been suffering from this disease without any solution until i came across this email on TH-cam: bestherbalcure@gmail.com of this doctor who have cure so many people with his natural herbal medicines, i also choose to give him a chance to help me and my boyfriend, he told me what to do and i kindly did what he said, and he gave us his herbal medicines and directed us on how to use them, we also follow his instructions for using it and he ask us to go for a check up after 3 weeks which we did, to my greatest surprise our result came out negative, we are really happy that there is someone like this doctor who is ready to help anytime any day...... To all the readers and viewers that is doubting this testimony stop doubting it and contact this doctor if you really have this virus and see if he will not actually help you, I am not a stupid woman that i will come out to the public and start saying what someone did not do for us and i know that there are so many people out there who are really suffering and hurting just because of these diseases, contact Dr. Alabi and he will also help..... Contact information: whatsapp: +2348155011610....... email: bestherbalcure@gmail.com

The movie was so horribly done! The actual facts in real life are nowhere near the same as the movie. From Boobies injury, to odessa losing to Abilene to losing to Dallas Carter. None of it happened in real life the way the movie made it. Peter Berg should be ashamed of himself

Chavez did a stint in prison

This could've been longer and better.

clear them eyes and have the heart of Jesus too bad alot sold out because they didnt believe in Jesus

My English teacher is in this movie

Definitely makes ya think about your childhood especially if you grew up in Texas as I did in North Texas (The Colony) although it has changed greatly since I was in high school but it’s still home and always a great part of my life. A lot of memories that I have of playing football in my life. The love of the game.....

I wonder where’s Boobie these days
