Playoffs, smlayoffs... no time to be dbags to each other. Cause when my team goes out, I'm cheering for anyone in our district. 

Some of you cats take this a little too seriously. They're kids. They play a game. You trash talk each other over how kids play a game better than other kids playing a game like it gives you or your community some sort of edge in quality of living. Then you ride their coattails like the Xbox controller is in your hand, and you're responsible for how deep they went in the playoffs 4 years ago or whatever. Christ all Friday, man. 

Here's what I love about team sports... you don't need the best players, you just need the right players. You need guys that will fight every play, never give up, outwork, outhit, and outlast the opponents. You can beat a talented team if you completely demoralize them. You can beat a good team if they continuously have to pick themselves up off the ground.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

I'm glad you didn't tell him about Vidor switching to the shotgun for this game.  I think Coach Matthews hopes to surprise the Raiders with it.  

oh i know..but that's part of the game.. .the slot T worked great the 1st quarter...then...it kinda fizzled. and I wish it didn't, cause I love the slot T ..it's an exciting formation when executed. a 3 headed monster of confusion and misdirection. but I was growing curious how many sweeps we were going to run for little to no gains for the remaining 3 quarters. I will say I think the pirates were driving better before they continuously had the flags.. I was really impressed with the Pirate D ...save for the 1 on 1 coverage..but the run D was great. That Joey kid was all over the place. Anyway..this is my last post about the Nederland game on this thread

I don't feel comfy talking to you about Vidor's capabilities until after this week is over. LOL

Yeah I know which play your talking about on the fumbled snap, watched it on film today.
so Nederland wasn’t really moving the ball either besides big plays?

The closest either got was Vidor at the 8 going in. Fumbled snap on 3rd down resulted in a missed FG from the 12 on 4th. Other than that...I think 33 yards was shortest touchdown. I THINK.... don't hold me to it... it was a pretty hot day lol

The drives were stopped due to penalties. They had at least 1 penalty on every drive but the one they scored on the second play of the drive.

So are you meaning that there were no sustained drives, just a few big plays that resulted in scores?

true..but I will tell you...in all of years as a player, and spectator..I've never seen a game that had zero drives. 7 total touchdowns between vidor and ned, and they were all off the homerun ball. but..wrong post. just throwing that out there lol

Yeah, no reason for those games in this climate.  I am all for the uniforms, but they can't make them out of a lighter fabric?   I know some of the issues are durability and cost, but about the only time your would want those heavy uniforms is maybe December!

I was a sophomore when Vidor beat Nederland in 2001 in a non-district game ..the first game after the 9/11 attacks. I remember the stands showed some beautiful unity in passing around a giant American flag in the Vidor stands, and the visiting Nederland stands. I also remember that game being a very defensive struggle. It came down to the final play being a blocked field goal that allowed Vidor to win 10-8. We did react like it was the biggest victory we'd ever been a part of. And to many of us, it was. I think that was the first time we had beaten Nederland in a few decades. And while that victory was huge to us...that's only a tremendous compliment to a perennial powerhouse like the Dogs were.
And though Vidor won that game.. Nederland got the last laugh by going deep into the playoffs if I remember correctly, where Vidor came up short in making the playoffs in 19-4A that year. Weird year.. Beat Nederland, Beat PNG...couldn't get in playoffs in our district.
