I really wish I could see a huge football game where people are this energetic about it.

I read the book some years ago... it is quite true that Texas lives and dies for football, and the Odessa Permian Panthers (popularly dubbed 'MOJO') were for a time the biggest swinging dicks of Texas high school football.
Legend has it the annual 'Trash vs. Cash' football game between Lewisville High's 'Fighting Farmers' (just watch where you park, lest you get towed away...
) and Highland Park's Scots has the HP fans tossing cash from the stands.
And Plano High School FINALLY won one after a pathetic no-win season last year. The football program was dissected and analyzed in the local yellow press to find what was the reason a former state champion football team went into a tailspin.
And I gotta remember to avoid FM 544 on Wylie High's home football gamedays!
(Only HS football team I follow is my alma mater's -- North Miami Senior High (Florida) Pioneers...
