Friday Night Lights and Pulled Pork

For the past couple years, my parents, brother and sister-in-law have been telling me what a great show Friday Night Lights is. I was like really? The show based on the movie? I liked the movie, but it's not in my top 10...or 100 for that matter. With that said, a show that has captured the heart of my entire family, I had to try out. So this past summer I caught up on the first 3 seasons...yes that's right, all 3. I just couldn't stop myself, I fell in love.

Since the 4th season of Friday Night Lights is only accessible to Direct TV customers (I have Comcast) my friend Brent and I gather at my friends Lou's every month to catch up on the latest episodes. This past week, Lou had a brilliant idea to make pulled pork. Armed with his new crock pot (Christmas present) and his friends recipe, he served Brent and I the most amazing pulled pork. The perfect meal for a night of Texas football...
