Be willing to bet there are more people worried about the lack of success than success at Nederland.

I see them winning 2 district games maybe 3 next year. 

If you are looking for success at Nederland in the next couple years your best chance will be baseball.

Time will tell but it doesn't seem like people are buying into what the new coach is selling.

They could hire Nick Saban or Andy Reid and you wouldn't buy in.

Prime example for a certain player a few years back  named Preston Riggs for PNG perhaps the best receiver we have ever had. He was All State in Football, Baseball, and Soccer. 

Yep, most of the people I played with were in at least three sports and we had to do track as well.

Updates?

There is a coaching carousel thread pinned to the top of this board.

an intentionally dense oversimplification of the issue at hand.

Not really,  most of the people I played with were multi-sport athletes.  This specialization stuff didn’t start until later.  No one was blamed if someone got hurt in one sport and missed time in another. Life happens.

Nope it just shows the your QB coach/AD values football practice over other sports.

Normally when you have that happen you see many of your athletes play only one sport. 

Just shows that you and a few others are on this thread to stir the pot,  and maybe a little worried about possible success next year?

Try reading. I asked if you were the person on facebook posting the same comments under a fake name. 

 

@Bigdog bark at your own people. 

Stay classy NDN,  and keep the personal stuff out of the thread.

I don't care what it is. You are spreading misinformation about the kid. It wasn't because of a past injury. It didn't happen during footwork drills. 

 

And I bet you didn't run any Oklahoma drills in helmets only. I am just curious now if you are the same person hiding behind a fake username on facebook making dumb comments as well. 

Enough.

Looking back at the exact wording, it seems like you are correct and it was the concrete barriers that were the ultimate problem.

I mentioned it in my last comment, even if it was just the barriers, did Texas take his property?

I think a case like US v. Causby might go a long way to proving his case. Causby had an egg farm and during World War II, the US government started flying four engine heavy bombers for the war effort, low over his farm at full power. The extremely loud noise killed a bunch of his chickens and caused many of the rest of them to quit laying eggs. Even though he legally still on the property, he sued, saying that the federal government had effectively “taken” the use of his property from him.

The US Supreme Court sided with him, saying that for the purposes of the Fifth Amendment, the federal government had indeed taken away the use of his property. It wasn’t intentional but that didn’t matter.

It seems like this case would fall somewhere along those lines.

Yeah it was the barriers, no holes to allow the water through.   I think, his claim is loss of use of his property due to the flooding caused by the State.  That is how he is claiming Texas took his land.

Yeah I remember the pictures of the water piled up on the north side of the highway, it was bad.

It’s not a hack, it’s spam.  Unless you click on one of the links you should be fine.  They aren’t really hiding the fact that it’s spam posts either.

Should. Not sure that will happen in a strong district like they are in. PN-G, Lake creek and Huntsville are established teams. 

Really?  Huntsville was 4-5 for the 21-22 season and  4-7 for '22-23.  Just last year they made a jump into the playoffs. Now Lake Creek has been strong the last couple of years. Again, everything is cyclical.

Png also has 219 more kids in high school then nederland.

And Nederland has beat teams from bigger schools plenty in the past, including PNG.   .  What was the excuse all those years Neumann sent them home packing?  They had a bigger enrollment then.   I wouldn't count on school size dictating the size of the fight in the Dog.  😈

You get to watch them march at halve time.

And then most of them leave.

Team bonding. It's needed in Nederland wouldn't you agree?

Yes.  It sounds like so far that the new coach is moving them in the right direction.

You would be surprised, 16-18 year olds can put on weight fast if on the right plan and in the weight room.

I like him already and I haven't even met him.  Everyone must buy what he's selling. 

I was going to go but I got busy with other stuff.  So far from what I have read of what he has said,  I like it.

It was on Facebook. I didn’t see it until after the fact, but I’m not on any direct Nederland pages.

It might have been in the PA News as well

Any updates on Coach Rich's plans, hires, fires, type of offence, defense?  Is there any chatter about the kids being motivated?

There was a meet and greet last Thursday or Friday I think, IDK if anyone on here attended.

I got a gut feeling the UIL will greenlight this. I think they might think they will be appeasing two for one since it shapes up as a package deal. For BH, Angleton is closer, 73 miles and 1:10 drive time, but that can expand due to Houston Friday rush hour traffic and lots of lights. Lufkin is 1:55 and 115 miles, but its an easy cruise up hwy 59. I would still pick Angleton though. 

FWIW, Calpreps had Lufkin the better team last season, Angleton was better in 2022. Whatever.   

    

You made a good point there, I think the UIL "sometimes" looks at distance between opponents and doesn't take into consideration traffic in some areas, especially around the major cities.
