Since 1988, Permian would schedule a non-district game, usually the second game of the season, with an opponent the state believed would be the team to beat. Since 1988, Permian was correct, either team in the match up would go deep in the playoffs, become state titlists, or even state champions. Permian's opponent did win the first game, then the following year, Permian would get sweet revenge. This consisted in a pair of match ups. Permian called it going East. And well beyond east of Abilene.
