Anybody want to change their mind on who the top 3 will be in this District?

Nope. All three playoff teams from that district were eliminated in the first round by teams from the old 20-4a. Two of those wins were by 10+ points.

How's Nederland's Press Box now?

Substandard , I think. very basic with folding chairs and a couple of window units trying to keep it cool. I think the audio setup is old, and its cramped. At least they have the scrolling message bar on top of the scoreboard that they control from up there. They should have high-speed internet up there this year.

91 Coop. Your right SHLY that is exaclty what they were styled after. I'm glad they went to the Notre Dame gold.

Nederland's baseball field is greatly improved after Rita. They pretty much had to rebuild it. Nederland is working on a Jumbotron and Turf for the future. I think we need a new pressbox also.

Because of the waiting list. Only about 30 season tickets are available every year, and several hundred people who camp out overnight when they go on sale. You pretty much have to wait for someone to move away or die to get tickets.

I have mine!! Season ticket holder, so I don't have to stand in line

Of course it took me 5 years to get season tickets. :shock:

Hey bandwagon Jody, I got one for you. Vidor beat Ned in '01, before then it was 20 years since the last win. Ned is 50-7-1 vs. Vidor overall

I played under the old Nederland uni's and they changed my senior year. The new ones with the Old Gold helments are MUCH better than the old ones.

Last I heard they will have to play in MC when we have away games.

Yeah, Except for the sign on the east end. It still needs to be redone as of the last time I went by. They are working on getting a jumbotron, but that probably won't happen this year.

I don't know. Everything I have heard its on the 1st not the 2nd.

On a cruise. I fly into Houston on that Saturday. I wish we played then so I could go watch.

Yeah, unfortnately I will have to listen to it on the internet from Alaska, unless they want to postpone it a day.

Nederland is working on getting a new one too. Nothing wrong with the current one, just upgrading. All the lights are up so we are ready to go.

I hope we renew it in a couple of years.

I never said that. We weren't even picked to go to the playoffs that year.

'02 game against wo-s. West Orange was #7 in state coming in but left with a L. This was by a team that wasn't picked to anything that year but went 6-2 in district.

Mosley against Ozen in '04. 230 yards in a squeaker game. Unstoppable.

I played during the bad years, the crowds were still there even then.

A close game... :wink: Closer than a lot of people think it will be.

Sure. But when Ozen was created, the assumption was that they would dominate thier district and any other so-called "low talent teams" ie MC. Didn't happen. I don't make predictions , saves on the amount of crow that is eaten. But all these statements that the DC goes through bmt and that the MC teams dodged the maroon bullet last year make for good conversation, but you never count us out, we don't back down from anyone.

Thats why the play the game sfa. Ozen assumes they will beat Ned every year, but it ain't the truth.

I'll throw Nederland in there. Game in and game out, home or away 90% of the time we outnumber and are louder than the other team's fans. There are usually tailgate parties 2 or three hours before playoff games. We had as many as Kilgore did last year and they were playing in thier backyard. The last time we played LM in Rice we outnumbered them, again in their back yard. We don't play cherokee (thank god) but I remember as an elementary student wearing the black and gold on fridays and buying the ribbons with "beat whoever" on them. I worked in the district and they still do that 20 years later. Almost every kid in elementary and middle have black and gold on when we play on Fridays.

Sorry, I'm slow on the uptake.
