Maybe next year. [/quote] Im not sure what you mean... the season started a month ago.  We have already played 3 games.  You must not have been following.  Do I need to bring you up to speed with what has happened so far???  Now if you are calling District play the "season", I understand, but are you really expecting anything that much different than what we have seen so far?  If you are, I would love to hear some insight as to why you believe that.  I would love some silver lining right now! [/quote] To be honest... yes... I am expecting improvement. Changes are made before district starts, positions changed, adjustments made. Some of these players have never even played Varsity before...takes some getting use to. Thats what preseason is for. Some teams will be in a whole different place come mid season. but in the post above...i was referring to homecoming games. I dont know about other districts...but I haven't really noticed schools scheduling easy games in our district. Its all about the crowd and the vibe of the event. 

They can keep the Big Dance in Dallas...but when you start getting to 4th round games..reliant would be nice.

[quote name="Eazy" post="1276688" timestamp="1348158259"] This is a ridiculous thread.  Are you peole unemployed? [/quote] It's only at work that I get to enjoy the board...got to much work to do at home ;D

[quote name="PirateGirl4ever" post="1276610" timestamp="1348153990"] [quote author=mytwocents link=topic=103356.msg1276245#msg1276245 date=1348091973] [quote author=phunter308 link=topic=103356.msg1276086#msg1276086 date=1348079515] As pirate girl mentioned the 4th down pass play makes me ask this question. If 2 defenders could not stop that play on 4th down to save the win how will they be able to stop the pass attack this year? [b]Raines more accurate[/b], Kimler,Shaw, Barrows more experienced and multiple tight ends are going to make that even tougher. [/quote] That twenty yard pass was a big chunk of the 91 yards that Raines had that game. Kinda low considering his yards per game is 120 passing yards. Plus you gotta remember that 8 out of 11 of our defense starters are back and a year better and a year bigger and more experienced which should make it even more difficult for your offense to move on us.  8) [/quote] Raines may be more accurate this year, but our boys are much better as a whole this year.  They are looking very good and you pretty much have the same match up as we all saw last year in the Vidor/Ned game and look how close it was.  People predicting Ned by 2 TD's is absurd!  Controling the ball is going to play a major factor for both teams and I think it comes down to a game that less than 20 points by each team are scored and the winner (Vidor) wins by three.  ;) [/quote] And its in Vidor this year..that might make up for those 3 points last year. And I bet the Pirates are determined more this year.

Maybe its a poll looking into the future ..lol

[quote name="jake94" post="1276258" timestamp="1348093817"] This game won't be close. PNG is not as bad as everyone is making them out to be in my opinion. I think they will win this game by 4 TDs or more. Lumberton is definitely in a rebuilding year and struggling to score points. [/quote] Shhhhh.....we are trying to keep that a secret.

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1275606" timestamp="1348019064"] predicting a vidor dayton playoff game i see. that would definitely be interesting game. i would love to see the thread on that one lol. [/quote] Dont wish that on yourself..they will take a good team out the first round.

You really really REALLY shouldnt have. Its really not a bad rap though.

playoff games that could hold all of us without fighting for tickets would be nice. :D

BOUT TIME!

[quote name="PN-G bamakid" post="1275714" timestamp="1348030199"] Maybe it's just because it's MCM, but Nederland has always been a hard place for PN-G to play. Outside of that, probably Vidor, which also holds the record for the hardest stadium to get in and out of. We've played them for their homecoming several times and I swear 105 in Vidor is a parking lot everywhere from 1442 to the Jasper County line before and after that game. They really come out of the woodwork for homecoming (not surprising because they put on an awesome show). My senior year, our bus convoy took an hour and fifteen minutes to get from the interstate off-ramp to the stadium, and that was with a police escort calling traffic to the side of the road. We weren't in the stands until about the second quarter. One of the hardest places to play from the perspective of someone in the stands is probably Livingston. Long drive, small stands, overly excited announcer, lots of mosquitoes and the concessions and bathrooms are on the other side of the field, which means you have to walk on the uneven gravel track to get there. It really sucks in the rain. Nice people though. [/quote] I remember that...at Vidor...kept wondering where the band was. :D

+1 also...good grief you have been talking smack...smite loaded  ;D

[quote name="robanadana" post="1275163" timestamp="1347986633"] What in the Wide World of Sports in going wrong on the Reservation??? [/quote] You know we Indians gotta have some drama...we're trying to get our own reality show.

And thats Ok!

[quote name="GoDogs27" post="1275310" timestamp="1347996297"] [quote author=jimbob82 link=topic=103335.msg1275301#msg1275301 date=1347995529] Dogs27, you've taken plenty of shots at Vidor, along with plenty of Ned. and PNG fans.  There is a few Vidor fans that seem to over excited about the upcoming season.  But it is threads like this that Ned. fans seem to start every single year this website has been around, and at some point you get tired of hearing it.  But I can PROMISE you this, Newman and company and the Dog Pound has plenty of respect for Vidor football.  And that my friend you can take to the bank.  See  ya Sept 28, 2012.  Lets have good clean injury free game.  Good luck. [/quote] You should probably read posts before commenting. Either that or you just aren't capable of processing what's being posted. Smack talk is all part of it and I understand that. It comes from all sides. But I don't believe everyone is "taking a shot" at Vidor in regards to not giving them the respect they deserve. I said before the year started that 20-4A was a better district when Vidor is relevant. You can't please everyone and not every person is going to give certain teams respect, but I don't feel like I have said anything to take away what Vidor has accomplished. As for threads like this being started every year, I don't recall them, but that's a chicken and egg issue if that's the case. It's an observation and an inquiry. Not a reason to get all knotted up over. I like it when Vidor has a great team, it makes Nederland better win or lose. Just don't understand how so many people can give respect to Vidor and still some fans seem to have a complex about it. Heck, even the pollsters on this board think y[b]ou're better than Nederland. You win.[/b] [/quote] Now nobody said all that! That has yet to be proved. Now if they take the crown away....they are gonna be so hard to live with! ;D

I can understand where they are coming from. 1st... people were saying that their first preseason games were not a test..cause you know those teams were not that good...but Clearbrooks gonna be a test...yep that will prove your worth. Well they dispatched that team hands down....and now thats being thrown back in their face to. But what do I know...I'm just a fan of a "Toilet Bowl" team whose season is down the tubes before it has even started.

Silsbee beat the other 20-4a teams they played...but couldn't beat us sorry Indians. What does that say about your team.

There is NO shame in singing your teams accolades...Its a shame if you don't.  Have a great season! See you at Homecoming! [/quote] I agree with all that you have said, my family and I have supported the Pirates since the late 80's.  Supported our Pirates even when every play Coach Law called was, up the middle, up the middle, pass, punt!  The fans even used to chant that during the games.  Coach Pat Murphy was a friend of ours and a good coach.  Mathews has been a great friend of my family's and has done some amazing things with the team and the program since taking over and even more so the past few years.  I remember when we were 5A and played the Houston school and used to get the crap beat out of us.  Good luck to all of our opposing teams this season and even greater luck to My Pirates!!  I hope to see us sweep the district this year.  ;D [/quote] Props for hanging in there, those were some tough years for Vidor. Mathews program is beginning to turn the corner...the kids believe in the system and are taught the offense from the Jr. high school level. There was even a learning curve for the staff but the program seems to be gelling. [/quote] Yes big Props. Its easy to support a winning team...but to stick by a losing one is a true show of character!

I would take Elizabeth over Jack!

You won, We lost..you got all your points accounted for...dont want to forget that 2 point conversion that yall had to have to win the game. ;D [/quote] That was not my intention at all. I only wanted Mr. Buddy Garrity to know he hit the nail on the head with his perdiction. Now before you start putting us on blast remember you're coming here next season and you might wanna glance in your program and see how many of our kids will still be here. [/quote] PN-G has already succeeded at every level that your team is hoping to reach. Weve been to the big dance, District champs many times, Undefeated District champs...you name it. Not having a winning season...been there to. We know all the ups and downs. Losing a preseason game to a better team is not going to make us stumble, but will only make us better. Thanks for the practice, We are looking forward to District! No better Group than 20-4A.

[quote name="wbfan" post="1274996" timestamp="1347975989"] 0-0, both teams are so horrible, they go into so many OTs. Because neither of them know where the endzone is, the game is called off after 15 overtimes. [/quote] Please tell me how we are so horrible. We put 2 touchdowns on a very good WOS and Summer Creek Team. WOS shut out others. We need work but I wouldnt say our season is over before it has even begun.
