No reason Monte couldn't continue calling O plays,but B. Spell is capable too. Might be a hybrid type or situational type of role. But congrats to coach Barrow. Very well deserved. I can tell you the rest of the district was probably hoping for a non-Larry Neumann guy. I am just glad the board and supt. didn't botch this. Great job!
As a side note: I am willing to bet that Neumann had a big, big influence and sway on this decision. There's nothing better than a revered and legendary coach going to bat for you..

My guess is Monte gets the job..

Would not be surprised at all to see GRHS win state. I didn't see Crosby but that being said I haven't seen that much speed, size, and talent in a long time. Hats off..

I'd say Nederland's best player was Price back in 2000. Wide left anyone??  :D

Great game and a hard fought victory for Nederland. Vidor is going to make some noise in district. Those kids played tough. First game for me this year but my first observations are the following: Lebaron is legit. That long TD pass in the first quarter was a thing of beauty. I know Krautz has big play ability and is a beast, but I think if we would've passed it more tonight, the win may have been easier. Vidor's secondary is sub par and there were open recievers a lot. As for Nederland's defense... I know we stacked the box for a reason against Vidor, but I would have liked a safety a little further back and instructed him to not attack the run, only be there if the runner made it through the first two levels. That said, I'm not a coach and they are far more knowledgable than me. Just an observation. All in all it was a great game between two good teams. I thought officiating was terrible, for both sides. There was a PF called on Nederland early that was a really bad call, then Vidor had a worse late hit that wasn't called. In Vidor's defense I wasn't sure the one against them in the 4th was a good call. Far away from where I was but it didn't look terrible. At any rate kudos to Vidor and Big Ned got the job done. 1-0...

I have no prediction for this game but anything can happen. As for the Neumann discussion... I have seen posts on here about how he doesn't have any standouts on his resume and what not. It's not always as simple as that though. It's what a coach does with the talent and circumstances he is given. I can say that he certainly gets every drop out of the talent he is given and preaches a team effort. Just a couple of recent examples I can give: Nederland lost 3 qb's and was down to a fourth string QB and still made it to the playoffs. Also, the game against #1 Pearland Dawson a couple of years ago at Reliant. The deck was stacked against that Nederland team right up until the end of regulation on a bizarre penalty against Dawson that worked to their advantage (QB spiked the ball on 4th down but got penalized for illegal motion allowing them time to get their field goal unit in place.) Nederland still prevailed in OT. At any rate, there are numerous examples like these where Neumann gets teams to rise up to opponents levels. Is he the best coach that ever lived? I'm not saying that, but you'll be hard pressed to find a Bulldog faithful that is looking forward to his retirement. I wouldn't hesitate to guess that most coaches in SETX would put him at the top of their lost as best in the area. I'm sure Faircloth would whole heartedly agree with that sentiment.

Play calling on offense is about as vanilla as it gets..

Lol sorry.. Didn't mean to get you wound up, but don't be surprised if it happens. Especially if they are already locked into their seeding.. My source is very locked in to that program; not just a fan speculating. But if I had to bet, then I would say it depends on the flow of the game..

This site has been one we have all grown to love, whether you're a new member or one of that's been here since the beginning. We have fun with the trash talk and banter and it's all in good spirit most of the time. I just read through the squabbling on the rankings thread and felt it necessary to take a step back and put things into perspective. Granted it's forum posts and that can often lead to misinterpretation but based on some of the posts, it seemed as if there was some sincere animosity. Unlike college ball, the rankings on here, AP, coaches, etc. mean diddly squat. I rarely look at them on here for that reason. To get legitimately upset about one school over another blows my mind. The staff on here does a fantastic job and we should appreciate the time they do put in instead of criticizing them because of how they rank teams. Have fun on here, debate, talk trash, but getting upset over ranking seems a bit childish. It all comes down to Friday night (or the occasional Thursday/Saturday). I don't make light of passion. We all have it for our respective schools, but remember what these games are all about. It's about those kids working their butts off so they can play in the greatest game we know. We are merely spectators that have the opportunity to watch them grow up before our eyes. Disclaimer: I am no saint with this stuff. I have found my emotions affected by stuff on here plenty of times, but I have learned things over the years. So next time you find yourself feeling angry or upset about something, step back and take a look in the mirror and ask yourself if it's something worth you getting upset over. I will leave you with a quote that I look to often: "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it."
