texas high school football

i never woulda thunk it, but we have been seriously geeking on the show, friday night lights. we finished season one in just over a week and a half.

the show is about a small texas town high school football team and all the excitement and drama that ensues for being a part of all three of those descriptors.

there is love, anger, insecurity, drug-use, violence, infidelity, youth naivety, leadership, regret, racism, teamwork, physical disabilities, perseverance, doubt, dysfunction, mental instability, drinking, stealing, cheating, bribery, and innocence.

the rich irony is that i have never really cared for texas or football--high school was alright and i thoroughly enjoy a good high school movie here and there--but both we're beside ourselves with the genuine enjoyment that has come from being entranced by this series. season 2 is on dvd and has quickly found itself to the front of our queue.
