From that review:
The opening credits for “Friday Night Lights” say that the series is “inspired by” Bissinger’s book, rather than “based on” it. Which doesn’t mean that the show isn’t about football: as Bissinger says in his book, “Football stood at the very core of what the town was about, not on the outskirts, not on the periphery. It had nothing to do with entertainment and everything to do with how people felt about themselves.”

Don't know if this link above will work for you, if not just google up Nancy Franklin on Friday Night Lights and click.
Big News in Alabama this weekend is the Hoover School Board Report on the investigation into grade fixxing at MTV High.
Just Google up Hoover School Board Report. The Report will be on the school's website
http://www.hoover.k12.al.us/HHS/
or http://www.hoover.k12.al.us
Saturday. Early insiders are saying at least 17 athletes had their grades fixxed.
John Parker Wilson, the QB for the University of Alabama is a Hoover Grad. To be fair Furman's football program has a freshman who is a Hoover Grad.
But the news here is FNL, the TV series is a deep look at small town life, and that is what stands out about it. The paragraph ending online Page one gets to the heart of the matter.
Do read this review.
I found it fascinating.
