This thread is pretty relevant now and spot on seeing as how Vidors replacement opponent just backed out for these very reasons... amazing. Some people can’t let the past be the past.

It is not even simply the past. They are punishing 16 and 17 year old kids who have nothing to do with a reputation of some people in a town from 50 or more years ago.

I’m sure almost every town would have the same issue if the truth be known but Vidor will probably have a bad name forever. I can’t tell you how many people have blamed us for one particular incident that my only reply to is that they made a movie about it, it’s called Jasper Texas.

I told @biaplayer every town has a history. It's just ALOT more than others for ALOT around here.

My father told me about some wild stuff that went on in Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange back in the 60s. Vidor used to be crazy back then but this area has changed and there is no doubt about it. If you are going to stop playing teams in Texas towns based on their past then you better go play teams in Louisiana. Oh wait, that might not work out for you either. I wonder if there has ever been a racist event in their towns past? If there has ever been one incident in history then they better cancel the yearly intrasquad scrimmage...

Stuff like that happening Vidor never happened when I went to school in Vidor and I moved here in 1991 and graduated in 2005 and I can vividly remember that we have never done that during my era of time in Vidor and Mathews surely would never put up with it himself.

WRONG!!

I just read it on the internet.  😀

None of that type of crap has happened in recent years, like since 2000. So that’s 20+ years with Mathews at the helm but to your point I do recall Nederland vandalizing Vidors school before they had to come play us not too long ago. I also remember Lumberton doing something similar in the late 90s to Vidors field. I can’t recall the Pirates doing anything like that to anyone else’s stadium, school or field. We are an easy target because of the past so ignorant people take advantage. I don’t discredit your story though, maybe something like that did happen 30 years ago but I seriously doubt anyone was throwing beer bottles at your busses at the high school.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
