[/quote] Who said anything was wrong with the Video? [/quote] From what I can gather, the video wasn't the problem.

PN-G will always have haters for a number of reasons. Yes, we have posters and fans in general who take things way too far. Yes, we probably have more of them than anyone else. But with that said, we have more fans than everyone else. It follows that we have more of each type of fan since we have more fans altogether. By the same token, fans of other teams that aren't exactly classy love to focus on PN-G more than any other school. Why? Everybody loves to pick on the big guy. PN-G has more name-recognition, more fans and more influence than any other school out there, as well as more success than most. There aren't many schools that can lay claim to the legacy PN-G has established and there are none that can claim the community support PN-G has, has had and will continue to have in the future. There's a reason we have the national record for fan attendance at a high school football game and there's a reason that PN-G is almost feared in almost every field of high school competition. Heck, there's a reason most fans of other teams know our fight song better than their own. Those rabid fans of other schools (not all fans of other schools) hate that fact more than anything else and they key in on that. Some will blow small, isolated incidents way out of proportion to make PN-G look bad, some will stretch things to try and blame PN-G for this, that and the other, and some will just spew unadulterated, nonsensical hatred. As far as I'm concerned, it just means we're doing something right and that we're still good ol' PN-G. For those two reasons, you tend to get a more... colorful, for lack of a better word, exchange of posts and "trash talk" in threads relating to PN-G than in others.

[quote name="1989NDN" post="1099026" timestamp="1319911883"] Congratulations, neighbors.  Think of all the things that have happened since Nederland last won an outright championship in 1965. Vietnam MLK and RFK assassinated Man on the moon Jets win SB over the Colts Woodstock Roe v Wade Ali v Frazier at MSG and in the Thrilla in Manilla Watergate The Miracle on Ice in 1980 The Challenger explosion Tiananmen Square in China Collapse of the Soviet Union Berlin Wall falls Desert Shield/Storm Mandela and de Klerk end apartheid in South Africa Computers Cell phones Smart phone Death of Princess Diana 9/11 OBL rise … and fall The Taliban Rovers on Mars…pictures of the red planet Iraq – Afghanistan Deaths of Janis Joplin, Elvis, Michael Jackson The Dallas Cowboys won 5 SB 9 US Presidents in office [LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, W, and Obama] I’m sure I’ve left out some notable things in history…46 years is a long time.  Ned = clearly the best team in 20-4A in 2011.  [golf clap]  Well done. Go Indians.  Peace. [/quote] Classic. ;D But you left out three PN-G state championship appearances. ;D Congratulations, Nederland. It's well earned.

Alright, the dust is settled and now it's time to give some props to both teams. I have got to hand it to Vidor. I walked into this game thinking Vidor was overrated and that PN-G was going to prove it. Vidor's defense seemed almost too motivated in the first quarter; they kept having off sides and pass interference penalties, and it's obvious that they weren't controlling themselves very well. In the second quarter, it looked like Mathews had gotten them to calm down and there weren't as many penalties, but Vidor started giving up long runs and even a two point conversion. After the half, Vidor looked better, but they came out of the inflatable skull looking flat and demoralized. At that point, I was starting to think the game was over, and another Indian touchdown along with a goose egg on Vidor's side of the board at the end of the third affirmed that notion. Through the third quarter, it was looking like I was right and Vidor really was overrated. The fourth quarter proved me wrong. When Vidor switched quarterbacks and finally started having success in the air, I started getting worried. It was obvious that the momentum was shifting and the Pirates had some wind in their sails (no pun intended). When the Pirates brought in that two point conversion to make the score 22-15, I just about had a heart attack and I'm pretty sure I did have one on that last personal foul penalty against the Indians. Our defense seemed to be crumbling in frustration towards the end of the game, and for a moment I thought I'd be eating crow with this post. Vidor has the ability to score quickly and take advantage of what defenses give them when they knuckle down and focus. No team should overlook them. Good luck Pirates and go beat Livingston. The Indians had a great game for the first three quarters. I don't think anyone expected to be up 15-0 at the half and 22-0 at the end of the third. That's a real testament to the improvements our defense has made since last year. After the Ozen, LC-M and Vidor games, I think it's obvious at this point that the Indian defense is once again a force to be reckoned with in District 20-4A, providing that they can play consistently. Now go wrap up district and beat Central. I want to catch another PN-G game at some point this year and I won't be home again until Thanksgiving. Scalp 'em!

With that said, I personally think Indian Stadium was in need of an expansion, not just a renovation. You can't tell me we wouldn't sell an extra thousand tickets or so, especially in a season like 2009. That's some serious extra cash.

[quote name="BH 89-2" post="1094786" timestamp="1319646933"] [quote author=Scalp'em link=topic=90449.msg1094633#msg1094633 date=1319637582] BH in 4A: 2006 lost first round to Central 2007 No Playoffs 2008 No Playoffs 2009 Lost first round to PNG 2010 Lost first round to PNG 2011 Lost first round to any 20-4A playoff team  ;D You know I'm messing with ya'll because I'm the only person outside of BH that said at the start of the year that BH was going to be very strong this year. Good luck the rest of the way. [/quote] Well at least there is ONE person East of the Trinity that has some sense.  Did you hear that fool last night on the internet talking about Nederland should be #1?  I almost poured my grey poupon all over my food.  ;)  Here are the facts about 20-4A and 19-4A: 20-4A 1. Nederland = Good Defense, avergae offense, good coaching 2. PNG = Good offense, poor defense, great coaching 3. Livingston = Good QB.  Poor defense, less than average offense, tons of injuries. Average at best coaching. 4. Vidor = Good defense, good offense, fair coaching, play hard every down. 5. Ozen - Bad offense, Bad defense, Bad Coaching.  Athletic RB.  Not a good team. Here is the summary for the slow learners.  * Nederland is a sound team.  Team being the most important part of that.  BH has already beat them and both teams are playing better now than then. This would be a good game, but BH can run their offense around Nederland's strength, which is their D-Line. BH's defense is better against the pass than Nederland. BH plays almost all spread teams with good QB's, so they get tested. * Livingston is so injury striken they may not make the playoffs and if they do they will NEVER beat any of the 19-4A teams.  I have seen them play and those they might face.  No comparison at this point between Livingston and 19-4A top 6 teams. * PNG has already been beatin by Crosby and has a poor defense.  With Doty last year PNG barely beat BH, with BH's back-up QB playing the full game.  BH this year has a much better offense and much better defense.  No chance of PNG winning this game or even coming close. Ozen - Not even worth discussing.  They have zero chance against any 19-4A team.    *Vidor - Vidor is a fair offensive and defensive team.  Lumberton almost beat them and they have not won a game.  Ozen almost beat them and I have already described just how bad they are.  Fact is, Vidor has never beat BH and won't this year should they play. Vidor does poorly against speed team (and don't say Central because they suck).  All of the teams that Vidor would face in 19-4A have speed (Crosby, GCM, Dayton) and Vidor won't match up again. All that means is Nederland will have to play good defense to beat whomever they face to win.  None of the other options have any chance. [/quote] PN-G's defense has improved greatly since playing Crosby. I think Cox and Arnaud are finding a rhythm (based on what I can tell from 530 miles away) and the defense is reflecting that. Ozen's the kind of team that is really two teams: a good one and a bad one. They're either completely into the game and firing on all cylinders or they come in flat and stay that way. The final score really depends on which Ozen team shows up. Other than that, I mostly agree with what you said.

No way PNG hangs 30 on our defense. Gotta disagree with you this time. This game will be in the 20's at best points wise. By the way, the indians have to show they can stop our ball control offense to get their offense on the field. Vidor 24, PNG 17. [/quote] The best defense in the district couldnt hold us below 20....no way Vidor can keep us at 17...you may need to flip flop that prediction. [/quote] Nederland's defense isn't any better than Vidor's and we played AT THEIR HOUSE. Look at the statistics. The only team to put 30 on us this year was Texas High in the 1st game of the season. Your defense is giving up over 250 yards rushing a game which is what we do. We run the ball, your offense stays on the sidelines. We'll see who has the best athletes. Do the math. [/quote] You might need to look at your man .02's stats on the other thread before you make statements like that.  Ned's D is averaging 50 yards less than Vidors in district and you haven't played the top 2 offenses yet.
