Friday Night Lights

Okay, I must be out of the loop. I thought in Texas it was perfectly all right for the parent of an unappreciated football player to shoot the kid's coach.

That's why I'm so confused over the hullablaoo in Canton, TX where exactly that happened.

You cannot get thousands of people riled up over football and then appear bewildered when one of them gets upset over how his son was treated on the team.

It's Texas. There's God and there's high school football where they spend millions of dollars on stadiums in which teenagers play ball. And there's not much difference between the two.

what gets me is if some superior alien race were observing and saw what was going on in texas they might decide to destroy the entire species.

is there any way we who know better can form a new species?

ya know, some kind of secession.

it's just that i feel as different from these nutty texans as i do to a kangaroo
