Thinking Questions

~Do you think that Boobie made the right choice in coming back that season to try and get a scholarship after his injury?
-We all thought that he didn't because he ended up not playing very much and no college recruiters wanted him anymore. They had moved on.
~Do you think that the Permian Panther boys have a good chance at winning State?
-Yes, because they are determined and won't quit until they win and make their fans proud.
~How would you feel if you had a starting spot on a team and you lose it because of an injury?
-We would hate it because we lost our chance for a good future. Also we would feel frustrated because we didn't do anything wrong and yet we wouldn't get our spot back.
~Do you think that the players and fans still think that Boobie is a good player?
-Some do and some don't. The ones that still think he is good, felt sorry for him and understood what he was going through. The ones that thought he wasn't good felt that way because he pouted all the time when he didn't get to play; and plus they had Comer who they thought was better than him anyways.
~Why wasn't Boobie the #1 star when he came back?
-Because of Comer's success. Also Comer was better than Boobie ever was.

-They have had rivalries between them since they began.
~According to the describings in the book, which town would you rather live in?
-Answers vary.
~Why does Gary Gaines have so much pressure with winning every game of football?
-If he doesn't he will be fired.
~Do you think Permian should have won the coin toss?
-Yes, because they are a very determined team and they deserve it.
