According to someone I know who called PayK12…there’s not enough tickets left to fill the duplicates that were sold and the solution with agreement from NISD was to contact those affected in order by timestamp on original purchase and when they run out of tickets, all others will get a refund…not acceptable! Sorry, I just think NISD has some fault in this and should’ve figured out a way to accommodate everyone who purchased tickets because there were TONS of issues with PayK12 last time the game was at Nederland so they had TWO years to prepare or switch to a service that could handle the traffic but THEY chose not to!!

Based on rivalries, district championships and playoff implications, here is a list of some big and important games for this week, Week 9: Atascocita at North Shore Cita clinging to playoff hopes, NS trying to stay in district title contention PA Memorial at Lufkin District championship on the line United vs. West Brook Beaumont Bowl, both teams looking for a playoff spot La Porte at Crosby Both teams undefeated in district play, a win keeps each in district championship position Lake Creek at Huntsville Winner has the inside track to the 3rd spot and possibly 2nd. PN-G at Nederland MCM, nuff said LC-M at Bridge City District championship on the line, winner stays undefeated Silsbee at WO-S Same as LC-M/BC, Shepherd at Jasper Winner gets a playoff spot, loser most likely out Hardin at Anahuac Hardin trying to solidify their district championship hopes, Anahuac trying to improve their playoff position Anderson-Shiro at Kountze Winner gets a playoff spot Deweyville at West Hardin Winner gets 3rd, loser most likely 4th West Sabine at Evadale District championship to the winner San Augustine at Shelbyville SA with a win gets district championship, Shelbyville looking to stay in the DC hunt. Getting down to crunch time. Lot's riding on these last three weeks.

It starts at the top. Lamar athletics is where it is, first because Jaime Taylor is a University President who believes in the value of athletics. And he went out and found an ELITE AD in Jeff O’Malley. Rossomando was not sitting under our noses and at the time was a “who’s that?” hire. O’Malley went across the country and found a program changer. Hopefully we can keep all of them for a while.

Does it matter if we agree? It's funny we all of a sudden care about Government spending but when DOGE came in and started cutting waste and silly projects the left (and YOU if I recall) lost their minds..... Here is a comment from the cattle association. Farmers are a HUGE part of the MAGA base and I have no doubt Trump will take care of them. Trumps tariffs just this year have collected 165 BILLION in custom duties..... HE will make sure this does not hurt farmers. “USCA supports affordable food prices for American families. But we do oppose policies or loopholes that manipulate the market to address a solution that will be solved through natural market behavior. This approach weakens our industry’s foundation and undermines rural America. “We have appreciated President Trump’s ‘America First’ priorities, which have consistently highlighted the importance of supporting U.S. producers and reinforcing national food security. This moment presents an excellent opportunity to show genuine American-first leadership by prioritizing strong domestic production, and fair, transparent markets for both ranchers and consumers.”

That’s what Obama did.

Lufkin will have a stream at this site and I believe PAM ISD will too. I would suggest checking out the Lufkin stream for some over the top humor with our guys that call the game. You will either love it or hate it. But it will be anything than boring. [Hidden Content]

Here is a link to the playlist of 28 of the 30 bands. A couple (Anahuac, Hardin) keep crashing as I render them.

My pregame meal plan for this week is still up in the air. Not sure what game I will attend out of what I listed for Thursday and Friday. I should know by tomorrow and then post my pregame meal schedule. I do know what I'll be eating Saturday. Ribeyes and boiled shrimp at the tailgate party in Baton Rouge!!

Just solidified my Thursday and Friday schedule. Thursday CE King at Kingwood Pappacita's pregame meal Friday Beaumont Bowl Pappadeaux's pregame meal

Sounds about right…

DCTF has PN-G as a 27 point favorite

I'm going to watch 2AD2 #3 Bremond 7-0 vs #6 Chilton 7-0... Chilton has only given up 22 points this season.

82 wins in a row.

That’s almost as bad as threatening to hold back money if an investigation isn’t stopped on Hunter. I can feel your outrage.

I have not really heard any details. It is a complicated issue. I think expanding Medicaid to people below a certain income could work. At the same time, in my job, I see people that make $250K a year or more, but according to their tax returns they make 12,000/year. Like I said, complicated. I don't see a bipartisan agreement on a single payer system ever....

It’s like the video you’ve shared. People don’t want to compromise. They want retribution. Hurt people, hurt people.

I think we have a political climate where bipartisan agreements will be very rare.

I believe a bipartisan agreement can be made.

I just looked it up - the penalty for not having insurance ended in 2019. I always thought it was a little unconstitutional to force you to buy something or penalize you.

There's only one East Texas school in Region 2 (Tyler) It's closer for Lufkin to go south than it is to go to DFW

Anybody else watch the Kennedy Center town hall meeting? A lot of truth was said, and some BS

I understand the frustration, although I don't have a so-called dog in the fight this year, neither with trying to buy tickets, nor a grandchild or other relative involved in the game. But I wouldn't think that NISD can really do anything. They hired a 3rd party, and I wouldn't expect them to have hold the 3rd party's hand. Reportedly PNG previously used the same 3rd party, but apparently either learned their lesson, or else got a better deal with another outfit. Apparently information about any bad experience(s) weren't shared with NISD folks. NISD I'm sure wants to bring in as much $ as possible, that's reportedly the reason this game isn't played at Lamar. But surely there are codes that must be followed, for fire and emergency, and a maximum capacity for the stadium. It's not like the old standing room only days I guess. Otherwise, then take everyone's money and let them stand behind the end zones, just as you say.

[Hidden Content] Need to read the details. There’s a clearer explanation in The Wall Street Journal today. But, it’s behind a paywall. Note: My wife and I are on ACA & have been since 2018. We’re very familiar with the positives and negatives.

Thank you AAW for the explanation

Hamas isn’t changing, their sole purpose is the elimination of Israel.

Because Trump won most states, lol.

Nederland should do more to fix the problem with the tickets. You’ve got people who paid for tickets only to find out they were double-sold. I say open up seating for everyone who thought in good faith that they had tickets. The more people the merrier, especially for something as important to our community as this one. And, this was a massive screw up by the administration. It’s not as if they were unaware of the amount of volume the website would get for this game, and blaming it on payK12 isn’t good enough — They should have made sure they were ready to host a game of this size, and that includes picking a ticketing provider that can handle it. The best way to make it right is to open up expanded seating. A refund is a slap in the face - People want to see the game, not get their money back.

I think PNG uses the same provider for their tickets .

Grrr!! I was just coming to post this. 🤣

I just hope that both teams refrain from trash talking and just play football.

Not sure but could be talking about at the end of the game last year Nederland student section rushed the field and went to the PNG student section and was flipping them off...

Game was just added a few minutes ago.

Yes, misspoke. Simply a man playing women’s sports. Such a huge difference. I’ll try to be more careful.

We actually agree with this. I have no issue expanding Medicare or Medicaid. Let them handle everyone with pre-existing conditions or folks that can't afford private insurance. That is what drove up the cost of private insurances. Then folks WITHOUT pre-existing conditions could apply with private insurance companies that won't accept pre-existing conditions and have much lower rates. Now, what do you do with the folks not responsible enough to pay for insurance or simply don't want insurance?

UIL can't read a map.

I would send Lufkin west with the college station schools or down 59 to feast off Htown. But, this is what district 9 should have been from the jump

Hardin, 36-13 Because they are better,

You asking yourself?

I can guarantee you this, if District 11 ends up being what you predict, that district will not be covered here on this site.

The band needs to tighten up their lines. Trumpets off key. Flutes playing wrong notes. Drums not in sequence. Now here is something you have knowledge about you can critic rah rah. Leave the football stuff to us.

The 3-4 defense does not fit the bulldogs well… I will leave it at that.

We love him and the rest of the staff! They are pouring into our kids and we are thankful for that. The amount of senior leadership we lost last season is proving to be the difference. A lot of lessons are being learned by our young team but they fight until the very end. Better make the most of your opportunity now because Nederland is going to be loaded for the next several years with a coaching staff that is more than capable of getting the most out of them, both on and off the field.

How is NED liking their new coach now????

The state of Bulldog football is worse than what it was under last leadership…

Geez. These referees have the IQ of a rock. Terrible calls. It’s whatever, we’re used to it.

One of the worst gambling losses I've ever seen. Covering by 10 points with 10 seconds left and you don't cash lol I would be inconsolable.

That had to hurt.

There is absolutely no reason for anyone to complain or be negative about the state of Lamar football. But the ultimate site "realist"(pessimist) will most definitely find something to whine and complain about. Coach Rossomando is doing a great job.
