One thing about Brenham, they are always in the playoffs.  This is not your typical 4 seed.  I wouldn’t relax at the site of their likely 5-5 record after they play Lake Creek this weekend.  They did beat a good 6A playoff team Oak Ridge.  They lost to a ranked Belton squad and District 10 is very solid this year.  They can beat you if you aren’t ready to play.

Brenham is going to score some points.  Good QB and receivers.  They can score quickly. They have a phenomenal freshman RB.  He went out with an ankle injury on the first drive against Huntsville.  Not sure of his status going forward.
 

When I was in school, we used to say that copious amounts of Blue Bell must give people super powers, because Brenham used to own the Mid-County schools in just about every sport.

I remember how proud I was when PN-G’s baseball team beat them during their state title run in 2017. I was equally proud when the football team beat them last year.

You can never take a win over Brenham for granted, but I’ll take the Indians at home by two possessions.

I've only seen highlights of Brenham, specifically their QB and their slot WR.  

 

I'll take Png at home. 

You done learned not to pick against PN-G after last week, huh? 😉

I’ve said for a while now that Texas City deserves to be ranked in the DCTF Top 10. I stand by that now. Texas City by 10+.

Thank you Nederland for hosting such a classy 100th meeting. I thought you guys did a great job. It was a huge responsibility. You nailed it. The two bands playing together was amazing. 

I second this. Really enjoyed the game. Hoping since Nederland got the 100th edition at home, PN-G will get the 100th anniversary game at home in 2025 so we can return the favor.

Some quick historical notes for the PN-G fans out there who are, like myself, so inclined:

• The Indians' 25 point margin of victory over the Bulldogs is the largest any PN-G team has enjoyed over Nederland since 1992.
• Through 25 games, Coach Joseph now sports a 21-4 record with the Indians. This is the best start of any PN-G coach to make it to 25 games since Gene McCollum finished his second season with with the Indians 24-1 in 1947. It's the second best start of all time for a PN-G HC. Statistically speaking, he has outperformed even Doug Ethridge and Lew Ford so far (though Ford brought home a state championship ring in his first season, in fairness).
• I think pngindians.com and Down Trails of Victory make it easier to research PN-G history than it is to do so for any other high school program in Texas.

"Daddy's money" is paying dividends. 😎

PNG-Bamatex, don’t you think the wise money should say, learn, and do the same thing?!  Home cooking hasn’t worked to well for da Dogs. But, will they learn??!!

I don’t disagree at all, and I can think of one or two families in Nederland that would open up the checkbook.

Ok, I'll admit that I'm old, but I don't get the "Daddy's Money" thing.  Can someone shed some light on it for me?

 

It’s Nederland’s way of minimizing the Joseph hire.

“PN-G only got him because they could hire Todd Dodge with Daddy’s money.”

The Flying Frenchmen? PN-G playing in Lake Charles? The undefeated 1946 Indians?

Man, I’m seeing some PN-G chatter in here I haven’t read about in at least a decade.

It’s good to have a championship-caliber program again!

Please keep the updates coming. I’m in Midland on business and decided to watch Permian play at Ratliff tonight. Currently in the stands.

Speaking of anniversaries: 2025 will be the 100th year of PNG and Nederland playing. That year, we played twice. A piece of me thinks it would be cool if we played twice in 2025 (preseason and regular) as a part of commemorating the century mark. 

I think we should play 19 times to commemorate the 19 straight seasons Nederland went without beating PN-G from 1965 to 1984.

I guess I missed this because I was busy with Legislature-related duties at the time. I had no idea until a few moments ago.

Even though I never met him in person, I always enjoyed bantering with Hagar here. I always got the sense he was one of the most levelheaded posters on the site. I’ll miss reading what he has to say.

Belatedly, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

😁 straight from The Weather Channel that's why it's subject to change but I remember it being that way last year at the same exact time. 

Worst weather I’ve ever sat through in the stands. Was drenched to my core. Shocked my iPhone made a comeback.

But a very entertaining game to watch.

Their cooking is. Both squads. 😁

Not whenever there’s a Barnett on the team.

Definitely an off day for the Indians yesterday. I think they left a lot of intensity on the field after FBM, and some more in Texas City, and then have a Saturday 1pm game on the road, and they were pretty laid back, relaxed, and mostly flat, against a charged up WR team. Dropped passes, missed tackles, missed blocks, high snaps, missed coverage, motion penalties, misc other 15 yard penalties, and still scored 38, while allowing 20. Plus the band left for UIL competition immediately after what appeared to be a shortened halftime. Then in the 4th qtr near the end of the game, the refs told the WR band to stop playing. The quiet in the stadium was sort of weird, actually. All around, it was a weird game, and like someone else already said, it oddly seemed more like a practice than it did a game. I sent my usual after-game text to my grandson, and all his reply said was "the coaches are not too happy". 

Uh oh, practice, here we come, is what comes to my mind. Hopefully they will take it all out on Dayton next Friday. 

At the risk of sounding unreasonably optimistic or contrarian, sometimes a flat game with lots of mistakes is exactly what a coaching staff needs to light a fire under the players' arses, restore the focus and bring back some motivation. I'm hoping that's what the Willowridge game will turn out to be for the Indians.

Yeah if u wanna be stuck in traffic. It’s one lane on the bridge. I guess u can go if u choose to leave early and get there to eat lunch.

Those armadillo eggs are worth it, man.

for those of u traveling to this game, i suggest to leave no later than 4:30!! i live in TC and coming down 146 is a nightmare in the evening time due to construction and refinery traffic.

And if you get hungry, T-Bone Tom’s in Kemah is a personal favorite.

I failed to read the sign; so now I guess I need to watch the video. 

WRT FBM, they'd better get it together before they play Texas City.  Next Friday will be interesting for PNG, playing at TC.  Hopefully PNG can keep up the intensity and not relax after this big win; I think they are going to need all the intensity they can muster.  

Nick Saban’s 24 hour rule should be in effect in Port Neches and Groves right now. Celebrate the win over FBM today, get focused on Texas City tomorrow.

We’re in the lead in the district race right now, but Texas City and Dayton are coming for us.

Another guy who don’t know football…I know my post go over your head bro I understand 

Educate me, Izzy! How'd did the United game go? They're prepared now, right?

Has nothing to do with PNG! They have D1 talent at almost every position on the field…that staff simply can’t coach period this not the first time they’ve lost to a team they were drastically more talented than.

Hey man, is Beaumont United prepared yet? I hear they played North Shore tonight. That game should be tons of preparation for 6A. How'd it go?

I am going to be very curious to see the state rankings for 5ADII this week.

Did that just happen? A shutout over Fort Bend Marshall? Indians win 7-0? Is this the Twilight Zone?

Scalp ‘em!

Big kid can eat though. Big Mac, 20 nuggets, large fries. Large drink. Favorite meal. Lol

My stomach hurt just watching that last night. 😂

This will be a much better game than last year. I’m taking my Indians, but by no more than a touchdown.

Called it.

Congrats to PNG for doing what they needed to do and that’s destroying the opponent.  They’re trying to be better than last year to prove last year wasn’t a fluke.  I can respect that.  Good luck on their push forward.

Hang in there, Soulja. The talent’s there. Just have to find the coaching.
