Insane, but accurate

Rating: 7/10 (17 September 2005)

Honestly, I loved the movie, but I have to say that Texas is insane. This is a state that consistently ranks near the bottom of the country in the quality of its education. No wonder! All the money and attention are focused on a GAME.
If you're a boy, you play football. If you're a girl, you cheer for it. If you're a dad, you wear your high school ring for decades and relive the glory days. If you're a mom, you hire someone to kill your daughter's competition. (Different movie, but equally true story.) How pathetically sad. I'm awfully glad the highlight of my life wasn't HIGH SCHOOL, and as an adult I can teach my kids that there's a heck of a lot more in the world besides sports.
These people really need to get lives beyond Friday night lights.
