Oddly enough, I find it comical that you're so hard for them.
Shots fired. I'm kidding... hey it's a game. Someone will win. Someone will lose. Sometimes, you can even win by losing as long as you leave it all on the field and can live knowing there is absolutely nothing else you could have done to change that game. There are invaluable lessons in sports...beyond the results on the score board.

Hey! You and Bootleg both... line up or pair up, I don't care.
but seriously...I love that about my neighborhood. if it's not Dallas flags, it's UT, or aTm .. it's like walking out in Pleasantville. Wives borrow sugar, the pits and smokers are going on the weekend during football season, the atvs get loaded up... just the little grandeur of it all that make you appreciate your blessings.

I haven't been on this thread since it was only 3 pages. Wow. Things have taken a turn. I wish I could say for the better. But some of you guys, man... have some class. Unfortunately, it can't be taught. Neither can heart. I try not to take offense to people saying they don't want to live in Vidor. Keeps the traffic to a minimum. Personally, I love this little community.  It's a community of mostly hardworking folks that get up every morning and tend to business. It's a bedroom community much like Orangefield, Bridge City, etc. People live here because it's neighboring the big industrial cities and the commute isn't so bad.
I'll tell you another thing...you folks that live and walk like you're high and mighty...you're not. In my travels, I can tell you that people are pretty much the same all over. Don't believe me? Go to any Walmart, lol. Hell, I saw a rough looking lady walking on Boston Avenue in Nederland this week.. tank top, dirty jeans, no shoes. And I was like..Jeez, did she walk all the way from Vidor like that? A little self-depreciation is humbling. To those of you running down this little town, I hope you're joking. I love my neighborhood, and my community as a whole (well mostly...not too far north, and not too far south.) Especially during football season. I walk out my front door on Saturday mornings... pretty much all the men are doing yardwork, kids are riding bikes, the Cowboys flags get put out next to our American flags.
Point is - Having a standard of living doesn't equate to high standard of life. The poorest..absolutely poorest people I know..only have money.

I'm pulling for Vidor, but I know it won't come easy. They will have to play a near flawless game. Might have trouble breaking away for 60, but 10, 6s work out the same way. Speedy teams...You just keep punching them in the mouth, and knocking them on their butts, and they will get tired of picking themselves up. Control the tempo, take care of the ball, take care of each other, and miracles happen everyday.

Everyone has a plan until you get hit in the mouth and Vidor will hit you in the mouth...repeatedly! 

My exact thoughts but the rest was so good that I just left it alone ! lol

I was totally onboard with you until you said Cowboys flag. Lol

I'll tell you someone else who had underrated speed on the football field.. when Andy Haeggquist was QB ..I didn't know he had the ability to take off like that. But some plays he really impressed me with that speed. I believe I heard he was the fastest kid in district at the 400m sprint??

Maddox was my favorite to watch especially on kick off returns. Vidor used to put their best athlete on kickoff return back then but they got away from it because of injury risk, im assuming. 

Rick also came just milliseconds behind Ivory "Chopper" Williams in the 100. That was a fun showdown. Along with Rick, Troy Maddox not only had tremendous linear speed, he had some sick moves. Johnny Travis, and Doug Sims were great powerbacks. Dwayne Anderson didn't have blazing speed..but he had the best balance out of anyone I've ever played with. He was like watching a pinball get bounced around. 

If I had a meme of the lady with 1st world problems, I'd serve it to you. A shared title..2 years in a row...3rd round depth... I would love to have your problems.  All in good fun, friendo.

Hey wins are hard to come by for some of us. In 2001, We made up a trophy and declared ourselves Mid County Champs for beating both Nederland and PNG in the same year. I'd wager I'll dead before we do that again, and I was just a sophomore then. So...we'll see. LOL

LOL. Ok, from our little district, maybe. But bigger picture......nah
Que Nederland Fans

I wouldn't say we've been dominant. We've shared the DC for 2 years in a row and have only made it to the 3rd round.

PNG will be fine come district time. Always are. Up year, down year, doesn't matter. Always a competitive team. Not going to lie, some of you sound pretty spoiled on being dominant, and have a hard time just being a good team. But then again..I've been a Vidor Pirate since birth, and the last 19 or 20 years have been a treat for the most part. Even the .500 seasons are a treat to some of us. You can't have Long's and Roschon's every year...but this is my favorite part about team sports - You don't need the best players..you need the right players.
