He finally chose Permian High which has a population of over 90‚000 people. H.G. Bissinger soon finds out that football for the Panthers wasn’t ordinary.

Anyway‚ last night Dan had rented me the new Friday the 13th and now I should be on a hunt for Michael Bay’s head with a hockey mask and a machete. This movie did not carry a subtitle‚ which‚ in movie terms‚ implies a remake‚ i.e.‚ the recent remake of Halloween by Rob Zombie. That was a okay film‚ by the way‚ by comparison.
