Teachers and parents! Our Teacher Edition on Friday Night Lights makes teaching easy.
Boobie Miles’ uncle, LV, dreamed of being a football player as a young man, but could not because his segregated high school did not have a team. LV, by his own admission, invests a great deal of time and energy into training Boobie to be a better running back, and to have a career in football in college. LV and Boobie have a fight during 1989, causing Boobie to leave home, but the two, as Bissinger notes, eventually reconcile when Boobie goes off to play in junior college.

Chapter 10: Boobie Who? Quotes

For LV, watching Boobie play against Abilene had been harrowing. On every play he couldn’t help but worry that his nephew would do further damage to his knee, even though the brace did provide good protection. He saw the emotional effect the injury was having on Boobie—the prolonged periods of depression as one Friday night after another just came and went.
