Friday Night Lights

Fall in Texas. Chilly 95 degree days. School in session. The aroma of Fletcher's Corn Dogs. And of course, high school football.

Here in the great state of Texas, football is God. In the words of an imortal Texas legend, "Football's so important in Texas. On the West Coast, it's a social. On the East Coast, it's a culture. In Texas, it's a religion." Brownie points for whoever can name who said that.

7-time state champ Southlake Carroll enters the season on a 48 game winning streak and as the nations "mythical" number one team. They exemplify everyhting that is football in Texas. Hard work, dedication, a loyal fan base, and the wonder as to how all those great athletes live in district.

Lincoln: Don't forget the ability to puke and rally.

JJ: Just like Varsity Blues.

Southlake will have to overcome the loss of head football coach and Mean Green savior, Todd Dodge, as well as the fact that their logo looks like it was drawn by a 3rd grader.

I must say it also is a time that makes the chicks like crazy horny. And no it is not trashy to do it under the bleachers, thank you very much Officer Wilson.

Lincoln: Texas high school football is nature's most powerful aphrodisiac

Other highlights over the years include the 1994 game between John Tyler and Plano East. It rivals "The Play" between Stanford and Cal. As well as this add... all good liquor adds should have high school students in them and vague date rape references.

Anyway we're off to the liquor store then to watch 16 year olds knock the ever living out of each other.

...I bet I could throw a football over them mountains.
