The scene is when Boobie gets letters from some major colleges. They are asking him to come play for them and he would get a lot of stuff from them. Well In Boobies point of view it would be real hard to pick and also that Boobie is considered mentally disabled. He has a hard time in the classroom with learning. With Boobie in school he has less requirements then everyone else but still gets the same credits, But in collegehe would have a real hard time because they would treat him like everyone else though he has a disability. So he doesn't want to pick one yet because he would alos have to miss his freshman year in college to improve his schooling skills.

In my novel Friday Night Lights the setting takes place in Odessa, Texas in the 1980's and 1990's. The author describes Odessa with lots of details like how dusty and dry it is. Also how everyone acts in Odessa.

I met a character that i thought was a pretty sweet football player. The character is name is Boobie. He is one of the very few, very good football players to play in Odessa Texas. The author revels the character by introducing the football line up. Boobie was one of the first couple. Everyone wanted to be like Boobie. He would get letters from colleages asking him to come play for them. But his life was turned around during a scrimmage game. He was running the ball and he jumps up in the air and when he comes down he is hit in the leg by another football player, and blows his knee out and can't play for six to eight weeks. He tries everything to try and play again and he hurts his future worse by playing to soon and huurts his knee permantly. That is what i think made Boobie stick out from the ret of the football players.

Since last time i blogged i have read about Boobie, one of the players on the team. He was like the Micheal Jorden with a basketball but Boobie had a football. Boobie was a teammate that though he was all that and he carried the team. But during a scrimmage game and he hurt his knee. After that they took him to the hospital. The docter said that he might not play football again. Well Boobie and his uncle were pretty devesated about that. A couple months later Boobie tried to play again and hurt his knee more, now he can't play ever again. It all started with Boobie not working out when he was supposd to. Now with Boobies gone the team has to work harder if they plan on winning the next game. That is as far as i got for today.
