Trivia: What is the football team’s mascot in “Friday Night Lights”?
Tree Hill Ravens
West Canaan Coyotes
Permian Panthers
Blue Mountain State Goats
The correct answer is Permian Panthers
So why is this answer correct? : The 2004 film was based on the book “Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, a Dream” by H. G. Bissinger about the 1988 season of the Permian High School Panthers from Odessa, Texas. The movie shows the pressures and demands of a small town as seen from the perspectives of the players and their parents. The all-star cast included Billy Bob Thornton, Connie Britton, and Tim McGraw. In 2005, it won an ESPY award for Best Sports Movie. The book also serves as inspiration for the 2006 TV show “Friday Night Lights,” which ran for five seasons.
