did anyone get to the practice today?

Yes, Grant did pretty well last year. I have heard we have some good WR coming in, plus what we had from last year. We will be OK.

Without Grogan Bellows will probably have more pass attempts than last year.

Oh, they have skeeters up there, way more than you think! But your right, no skeeters in the fall.

Thats the idea! Thanks for reminding everyone 92. I will be getting updates on Vidor directly to my page and will relay them to everyone. I will try to give updates on other district games and "games of interest" at least once a quarter. If you have any particular game in mind, that is outside 20-4a let me know!

I don't know what you mean by "well before" since LaMarque was the defending state champs going into that year. Also they were 8-2 in the regular season and just had come off a 31-6 win in the bidistrict round over El Campo the game before Lumberton. That doesn't seem to be a spiral down. No, it started with the coaching change and two losses (one bad one) in a district they usually dominate. Then completly missing the playoffs last year was the icing on the cake.

Hardly. Thier spiral started well before they played Lumberton.

LM lost the coach that they just hired ,what was it last year? Hmmm.

Yeah, two teams in the top 10 for the region that didn't make the playoffs last year, one with a new coach. Sounds like he's taking a page from Dave C!

lol

We have an 8 team district and four of the teams make the playoffs each year. How many times has Vidor made the playoffs? Break down of the district the past 10 years (not sure how long Jeff has been there?) excluding Dayton and Livingston because they have been in and out. Upper tier (2) Nederland - Multiple playoffs, several DC's Central - Multiple Playoffs several DC's Middle tier (3) PNG - Several playoffs and A DC Lumberton - 2 playoffs and 2 DC's Ozen - Several Playoffs (not sure about DC's). Bottom Tier (2) Vidor - No Playoffs, No DC's LCM - No Playoffs, No DC's Like it or not Vidor is a bottom tier program. This year may be different, but as of today, the facts speak for themselves. And those bottom tier programs play cupcake non-ditrict schedules (scrimmages don't count). GO FIGURE. Vidor went to the playoffs in 2000 , but were eliminated in the first round by Nederland. Prior to that, it was 22 years ago when they went. Before that, another 14. Schedules are made for two years at a time.

No easy games in district this year for Vidor, especially if LCM and Livingston step up their game, and the QB for Liv is a suitable replacement for the one that graduated.

Actually, go look at the historical info page. Vidor playing a weak schedule goes back way before Matthews got there.

Easy there trigger. There a lot of people on here that have no stake in Vidor football that are giving thier opinions. As far as my opinion, judging by their district performance, the weak schedule is not helping them much.

Good. Everyone keep trying to get in, I know its frustrating doing that letter/number verification!

Why not? What error are you getting??

It took me several times too. Let me see if I can help.

Yeah, its not easy put your glasses on!! :) j/k

Just a reminder to sign up for tweet updates of Nederland games by scoring drive, and district updates by quarter! You need to have your own twitter account with a cell phone linked to it and then go to [Hidden Content] and sign up to follow my tweets!

BTW, everyone will have to sign up again as this is a totally new board.

A team that you wouldn't expect to do well, but does.
