The Real Dillon Panthers Are Kicking Ass
By Jamie Mottram | October 18, 2007
Friday Night Lights – a TV show based on a movie based on a book based on a high school football team — is on my short list of must-see programs along with Lost, Weeds and The Office. So it’s with great joy and wonder that I realized the real-life Dillon Panthers a.k.a. the Permian Panthers are good again, standing at 6-0 and cracking the Rivals Top 50, which must put a flutter into the hearts of these real-life Lyla Garrity’s.
See, despite a fine run towards the end of last season, the Panthers haven’t been very good this decade, probably ruining the lives of many a Panther alumni (mental picture: Dawson’s dad from Varsity Blues) in the process. I just hope they have a QB-1 who doesn’t throw like Matt Saracen, which is to say that Matt Saracen throws like a girl.
Also making the Rivals Top 50 are D.C.-area schools Westfield at No. 7 and DeMatha at 42. As for my alma mater — the Marshall Statesmen of Falls Church, Va. — we’re 5-2 on the season and must be in the Top 500, or at least 5,000. Whichever.

Coach Taylor needs to get his ass back to Dillon before this one gets canned. And couldn’t Saracen have waited until he was back in the locker room to sucker punch Smash? I mean, really, how many on-field fights have we seen between teammates? At least Landry is gettin’ his. Oh well… We’ll always have Season One to fall back on.

Yeah, Adam, I just caught up on the first three episodes of this season. There’s been a major dropoff … but at least Riggins is road trippin’ to Mexico!
