One of the amazing things about the Pirate is how he could consistently pull upsets of your school (as several schools can attest) and yet you still had to love him. His wit, his irreverence, and his willingness to discuss almost ANY topic made him a rare commodity in CFB and even sports in general. When we lose one that is TRULY one of a kind, you know you've really lost something.

Loved Mike Leach. He was hilarious, didn't care what anyone thought, and was a hell of a coach.

[Hidden Content] This game should break attendance record. I was at the state championship games last year & SOC had such a large turnout of supporters show up from the DFW area AT&T STADIUM had to open up the upper levels of seats on their side. With the large amount of supporters PNG will bring it will be jam packed both sides.

Region 3/4 are visitors for all the games!!

I have tried to explain a million times. It’s not arrogance, cockiness, or disrespect. It’s simply SWAG. I started out my school days on an election year. The teachers gave us a choice to be republican, democrat, or independent. I chose Independent simply because it allowed me to wear an I on my shirt all day, of course it was crayoned purple. It’s said we are taught Cherokee day 1. That’s actually a myth, we all knew it by heart before the alphabet. Most will never understand, I have even heard of us being called the “The Purple Cult”… once again, it’s just misunderstood. Ironically, our rivals understand it the best. That’s why you see all of mid county supporting our games. I grew up in the 80s, hearing about the 70s, in a time we were led by a great guy, just not a good coach. That all changed in 89. In came Danny Malone. And he brought that SWAG back, Burnett carried it on, Fairclothe carried the torch, now Joseph continues the tradition. So what started out as playing football at recess, dreaming of being an Indian, ends with a shot at a SC this Friday. We are no longer a powerhouse, we are not a place people want to move or transfer to, we are just PNG Indians. Not the biggest, fastest, or strongest. Just a team playing with heart and support. These kids are dogs, they come to play and don’t quit. Always the underdog, yet playing week 16. A proud community, wanting a SC and that attendance record back. So for all of you who don’t understand us, we don’t expect you too. But we will say this, come be part of the family Friday night. You won’t regret the experience. A big joke on this board is ATMOSPHERE…. Come be part of it Friday, and make history. You won’t regret it. No matter what team or color you represent or bleed, we are one big ole family this Friday. Peace…. love…..

For those that don’t get Bally with their TV package

I don't know about being on the wrong side. As I remember, we entered at the end zone and there were signs pointing fans in the right direction.

Hope u don't mind 🔒

Good luck to Aledo this weekend!

Don’t care about any attendance records, just the game. This will be a touch game for us. We’ll need to play mistake free ball control game. We need to kick them in the mouth from the kickoff. Love Adams, but he’ll need to stop slowing down at point of contact. Needs to run straight through the defender.

One thing I'm sure of. It's either gonna be a really close game that either team can win, or the Tigers get blown out. Very underwhelming performance by Silsbee in the last game of the Cypress tournament. We need both of our stars going off in the same game from now on. I think Harris only had 8 points in the Dickinson game. It'd also be nice if we could learn to take charges instead of letting teams drive right by us for easy layups at the rim. I think Lufkin takes this one, especially if the team that showed up against Harker Heights makes and appearance tonight. It'll be a blowout then. I'm a homer though, so I still voted for Silsbee in the poll.

Keep swinging your sword Pirate. R.I.P. 🙏🏾

SOC is pretty tough to beat in the playoffs lately. Granted this team is different than last year but they do have recent championship experience. SOC is going to be confident and ready to put on for the Triple D. I almost wish Aledo would play on Friday night so Dallas could be all day Saturday. You absolutely have to respect the playoff path PNG has made. I'm sure they will be ready and the whole tribe (is that what yall calls yalls fans?) will show up.

Love the fact that my T-Wolves moved up 3 spots after a great showing in Utah. Leap frogged Summer Creek.

The man was a National Treasure. RIP Pirate

People don’t realize that PNG has some really great coaches he’s probably scheming with this week to put PNG players in the best position to succeed. I can’t wait to see what they come up with. Hint: a lot of ideas flying around from Katy HS, who’s been there, done that. Should be a great game.

Allen’s band is around 850 kids. If just the band was a school, they would be 4aD1 in football.

I think the strength of SOC is the secondary. They are really good. NDNs on offense are gonna have to keep them honest to keep the running lanes open. I don’t think PNG can get behind the corners but RPOs and double moves will suffice. If PNG can get out front by 2 scores we got something!

If he puts together a good staff this might be a good hire down the line. We'll see. I hope he hires a staff with Texas ties that's well connected with alot of the top HS programs in the state.

I thought about copying and pasting (because I’m too dumb to be able to post a screen shot on here) but I think that’s against the rules. But @BlueOwl did a good job of summarizing the post succinctly.

lol, you truly run on no information, don’t you?

4A ranked #3 in the Houston Area

Definitely pulling for PNG. Indians can win if they play a clean game. Don’t give up any big plays…SOC has some burners in the open field. Will be at the game. Also PNG has better coaching in my opinion. Go Indians!!!!!

As it should it’s very well known in the coach rank DV can’t coach lol

I’ve attended every game except Spring Westfield because l had to work. My son is on the team as well. 😉

Just clap and don't say anything you'll be fine😉

I was thinking that when I saw the story. A few weeks earlier and Dems would have been fine with it.

I be forgetting Silsbee and Bridge City are bitter rivals on the gridiron. This is fun reading. 🍿

It was the 1st game last year. Saturday, December 18, 2021 Conference 5A Division II – Liberty Hill (13-2) vs. Dallas South Oak Cliff (14-1) – 11:00 a.m. Conference 6A Division I – Galena Park North Shore (14-1) vs. Duncanville (13-1) – 3:00 p.m. Conference 6A Division II – Austin Westlake (15-0) vs. Denton Guyer (14-1) – 7:00 p.m. This year has some matchups with teams that bring big crowds like 6A also Friday, December 16, 2022 4A Division II- Carthage (15-0) vs. Wimberley(15-0)- 11:00 am 4A Division I- China Spring(14-1) vs. Boerne(15-0)- 3:00 pm 5A Division II- Dallas South Oak Cliff(12-3) vs. Port Neches-Groves(13-2)- 7:00 pm

The weather want stop this game . At least we will be playing inside and not out in it. 😂

Where can you find these lines?

LH gave SOC all they wanted last year, I expect PNG to do the same.

Agreed. If Bailey playing then NS by 40. As it is, NS by 20. Duncanville struggling with Westfield let's me know it's not quite the athletic juggernauts of the past for Duncanville. That's not good for them, because they certainly aren't going to out coach you.

Region 3/4 is designated visitors if you went to any of the 3 state championship games West Orange-Stark played at AT&T Stadium it's the same side

I've said this before but: Moody Center is damn nice man. 😎

stories like this are a very hard read. She should suffer like he did

I'll be making a trip to the Horseshoe in Lake Charles Friday to place a big bet if the line does go to -7.5 PN-G. My book currently has it SOC -3

Only have to win by one.It will be tough though.

West Hardin won.......

14-0 Duncanville by 13, who's set to play in the 6A D1 State championship, 13-2 DeSoto by 1, who's set to play in the 6A D2 state championship game this week. Their "bad loss" was Lancaster 21-3, who could've easily made a run to state this year as well, but lost a close one in the 3rd round to undefeated Reedy. It's also worth noting these were SOC's first three games of the season. I'm rooting for PNG, but their schedule doesn't hold a candle to the one that SOC has played. SOC also beat Parish Episcopal, who won the TAPPS D1 championship, and beat the likes of Aledo, China Spring, and LBJ Austin this year. Their playoff run included wins over Dallas area schools Lovejoy, Midlothian Heritage, Melissa, and Argyle. It could be (reasonably) argued that PNG is the 7th or 8th toughest opponent on SOC's schedule this year. That said, PNG has been playing incredible football, and they've earned their right to play this game. While I don't think PNG would've advanced through the side of the bracket that SOC did, they're playing well enough right now that if things go right they can beat anyone. I'm definitely pulling for them!

We are very happy and proud of the boys mine grew up with to get this opportunity….now go WIN the whole damn thing PNG!

Y'all are welcome to join the PN-G crowd! I have a few cousins in Orangefield that made it to the Brenham and Fort Bend Marshall games. Trying to get them to come to Dallas, too.

Me and my family were Indians up to 3 yrs ago and we moved to Orangefield. My boys have many friends who will be on the field. We are going to take the trip to Dallas and cheer on the Indians. We maybe bobcats but you will never take the Indians out of us!!!

I feel pretty good about this game. PNG is hot rolling into the championship game. Big crowd will help and that's what they'll have. It's what it's all about. SOC is a great team. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. And I think that's what going to happen Friday night. It's going to take a balanced attack to do it. Establish the run early along with a good defense and you will win this game. PNG BY 10 POINTS

Was not let go. Was asked to stay. Chose to leave. Check with MB, KC,VW or anyone else. Once you you open your mouth and don’t know what you are talking about. Hide on!

I would like to say a BIG thank you to all of our SETX family for your support. Please join us and be a part of the PNG family next Friday night. We appreciate you all and those who can make it. Last week I saw reps from every school in SETX. It was so heart warming to see all of the support. Thank you all.

Personal opinions mean less because someone reps a school that hasn’t done anything?

They’re all over SETXSPORTS FORUM TOO. You know who you are.

Gotta love the kid at the end with the girl cutting cartwheels.
