It is commonly listed as one of the best ever written about sports. Bissinger integrated himself into the town of Odessa and spent a year living there, allowing him to capture the complex facets of Texas high school football culture. The real-life Permian High School football team is a prestigious program that has won six Texas state championships. The team plays at Ratliff Stadium, which sits over 19, people, suggesting the popularity of football in Odessa, which was reflected in the TV show through the pressure placed on characters like J.
The team tied for their district championship with just one loss, and got into the Texas state playoffs due to a coin flip. They made it to the semi-finals before giving up a fourth-quarter lead to Dallas Carter.
The Permian team was not the most remarkable high school football squad, but because of Bissinger's book, they became emblematic of the obsessive culture around the sport in small-town Texas and other Southern states.
Bissinger used the Panthers' season to examine social issues such as racial and economic divides and the economic reliance on oil, all of which were reflected in football. The Friday Night Lights TV series didn't directly adapt the Permian story but was heavily influenced by the book's depiction of high school football, especially in the final two Friday Night Lights seasons set in deprived East Dillon, which has parallels to Permian's largely poor and Hispanic rivals Odessa High.
Berg stated that he developed the TV series to be able to explore some of the more personal plotlines he had to cut from the movie. While Friday Night Lights' story is very different from that of the Permian Panthers, there are comparisons that can be made between the real team and the fictional Dillon Panthers. Both Panthers teams are heavily funded and attended for high-school athletics, with backers donating handsomely and much of the town revolving around Panthers football.
The Dillon Panthers are somewhat more successful than their real-world counterparts, winning the state title in the first season of the show and making the finals again two weeks later. There are also parallels between individual members of the two teams.
