NDNfan91

Me and my family will be there...in our purple and white of course!  I personally think it is good for fans from other schools to wear their school colors!  It shows how we all come together to support one of our own!  I loved seeing how many different communities came to support us at the Dome in'99!!  I am curious how they ended up going with Reliant for the last game to a high school stadium for this one?  I know the Berry Center is very nice but crowds usually get bigger as teams keep winning!  Hope there won't be an issue with getting tickets cause I'm excited to see this game!

My son plays for PNGYFA and there is a little girl on his team!  She's been out playing some of the boys the last few weeks!  I think it's awesome!

[/quote] Nobody is dragging anybody through the mud. Facts are facts. For whatever reason, Vidor won't send anymore. The standard procedure seems to be for the home school to send more tickets if the away school is low the week of but Vidor wont. This is coming from a reliable source at NISD. Someone who handles these tickets. Just wondering... Is this Vidor's homecoming? [/quote] No we play Vidor for their homecoming and they only sent PNG 500 and they were gone the first day of season ticket sales. [/quote] Exactly...apparently there is something fishy going on because like I said, we were originally told Vidor only sent 500 and did not have any plans to send more...not even the week of the game!  Some on here have asked...why would they do that?  Well, I can't say what the reason would be for the Vidor vs Nederland game, but we are playing them for their Homecoming and it is a BIG deal in Vidor, so it appeared as if they were trying to hold back tickets for their fans!  A complaint was made and now we're being told they will send more tickets to be sold the week of the game but no info was given as to how many they will send!  I don't want to believe that they would purposely with hold tickets but something similar to this happened 2 years ago when we played in Vidor for their Homecoming.  Idk how many they sent then, but after season ticket holders purchased theirs and after general public sales the week of the game, we were told that the visitor side was SOLD OUT...no more tickets, not even at the gate!  Well, mysteriously there were about 100 or so Vidor fans sitting on the visitor side!  Someone I know asked one of these Vidor fans how it was that they got tickets because supposedly the visitor side was sold out?  This person told my friend that more tickets "came available" a couple days before the game!  So, it leads me to believe that they do hold back tickets for their fans!  Maybe not...but it sure does look that way!

We're having the same ticket issue at PNG!  I went to pick up my season tickets the 2nd day they went on sale and there were already no more Vidor tickets!  At the time, we were told that Visor only sent 500 and that's all they were sending period!  Apparently our Admin made some calls to Vidor and UIL officials and filed a complaintand Vidor was told they must send more!  A couple weeks later a message.was posted on the PNGISD website that more tickets will be available the week of the game!  How many more...I don't know!  After hearing they only sent 10 to Nederland I'm very concerned that we won't get many more than that!!

I apologize...my information was incorrect...someone told me PNGYFA provided the crosses!  Thanks for correcting that for me!  A big thanks to Kountze!  All the boys displayed them proudly!  We were glad to show our support!  Stand up and stand out!

[quote name="PN-G bamakid" post="1279397" timestamp="1348360374"] Any updates? How is Nelson looking? [/quote] Final 31-0 Lamar!  Don't let the score fool you...Langston is horrible and Lamar isn't much better IMO!  Nelson got some playing time and he had some chances to make some big plays but the QB didn't throw it to him!    :-\

You are correct!  My son plays on Pee Wee Purple and I was told PNGYFA purchased the red crosses and handed them out to all the teams playing today, purple or not, to show support for the kids in Kountze!!  Like you said, no matter what colors we wear, together, we are the body of Christ and will support each other 100%!!

I AGREE!  Let's quit pointing fingers and MOVE ON!  Our kids are not angels and neither were Manvel's!  We had some issues with PF's early in the season and Coach Faircloth and his staff jumped on it quick and sent a message that it will not be tolerated and it stopped for the most part, until Saturday night when emotions were running high and it got the best of both teams.  Let's celebrate the season we had and look forward to the next.  Our program is moving forward every year, last year we were sitting home on Thanksgiving weekend, this year we made it one game further, THAT folks is PROGRESS!!  I wish no ill will toward Manvel, and I wish them the best the rest of the season.  They are a GREAT football team!  I hope they do make it to the BIG DANCE, because that will be two years in a row that we lost out to a team that played for the State Championship, not bad, not bad at all!  

I think I'm gonna need some meds  so my family can tolerate me til next year!  :'(

I don't have a problem with it either, I just thought it didn't fit with their team.  Yes, we yell Scalp 'em but we are INDIANS...they are Maverick's and use a Indian battle cry? However it's not for me to figure out, if it makes sense to them then that's all that matters.

SEE...I told y'all this thread was BAD JU-JU!!!!    >:(

[quote name="Krewsky" post="921108" timestamp="1290922940"] I'd rather be an Indian than a Hokahey!  Whatever that is! [/quote] Google it...it's a Soux INDIAN battle cry that means "This is a good day to die!"  Not sure why.a team whose mascot is a wild horse uses a Indian battle cry but our boys fought and "died" like WARRIORS so Hokahey boys HO KA HEY!!

Guess I need to get on some meds so my family can tolerate me til then...LOL

GREAT season Indians!  Indian Nation is proud of you!  Way to fight til the end!  I really think if we would've kept our cool and not let the smack talk get to us this would've been a different outcome but that's football!  Congrats to Manvel and good luck the rest of the way!

Great season Dayton!  Now come on over to Stallworth and help us BRING THE NOISE and send them pony's packing!

I think this thread is bad ju-ju...DELETE!!

Thanks for posting this!  I'm just speechless!  What a AWESOME young man!

I have a theory and I hope I am right.  Most of the polls had us losing to Central and we all know how that worked out and if I'm correct most of them have us now losing to Manvel, so if that's what brings out the animal in our defense then I hope they ALL predict us to lose!!  ;D

I do not have a problem with a team meeting at midfield to get fired up.  I think what ndn78 left out was that a large group of their players were pointing at our team who had already entered the field and were standing on the sidelines.  It wasn't just getting fired up, they were taunting...not all of them but about 2/3 of them were taunting our team, coaches, NDN Spirit, and even pointing at the crowd!  I saw some of our players go over to the ref and say something and he went over and I guess gave them a warning and made them move closer to their sidelines.  The refs also stood at mid field after halftime and would not let them gather there.  I don't think the refs would have gotten involved had it just been a team getting "fired up".  I'm sure their coaches do not encourage that type of behavior and I'm sure they will be delt with just like our boys are when they cross the line.  That being said, Willis has a GREAT team and PNG has much respect for them and we look forward to hopefully meeting again in the playoffs next year!

No, what he meant was exactly that...coaching and defense wins this one...WHICHEVER team does it better!  Trust me, PNG has a ton of respect for Manvel and we know they are well coached and come from a tough district.  This game will be probably the best matchup so far, it doesn't get easier in the playoffs, each team has to play lights out!  PN-G will pull it out in a close one! 28-21

Well the PA Snooze did not help at all by falsely reporting the game was SOLD OUT earlier in the week!  PNG admin office said there was a steady flow of ticket sales until that article came out.  They did fix the mistake but a little too late maybe.  I'm sure many tickets will be bought at the gate.

[quote name="indianforever" post="912469" timestamp="1290122806"] i cant find any video of willis ??? [/quote] There's a few on YouTube.  Search for Willis Wildkats.  There's one about 8 mins long but I haven't watched it yet.  It looks like their unis are very similar to ours.  Purple Jerseys with white pants...could get interesting.

I had the same problem at the gate.  I left some things in the car so I could help my mom with her things and when I asked if I could go get my things I got a lecture first on how we're not supposed to go out and come back in but they'd allow it this time....and I was perfectly nice to the attendant. However, I'll take minor inconvenience over driving to Houston and it seems like Stallworth had the same policy.

Does anyone know for sure what time the gates will open this Saturday?  Last week they opened at 6 for 7:30 start...I heard 6 again this week but game starts at 7.  ???
