They need to start doing them like they used to be. What they do now is not the same. Yeah I'm the old guy griping about the way things are now.

I seriously doubt the Corp would allow dirty equipment .

Looks like a no catch, he trapped it against the ground. PI flag anyway.

Update 6/19: looks like they are beginning to build the elevator on the left side (if you are on the street looking toward the stadium) of the press boxes and putting the outside skin on the boxes themselves. The design drawings also show adding back stands on the north side of both stands but I don't know if that will get done by the start of the season or if that is part of the final design.

He is getting dangerously close to the line..

Just FYI, most of those QBs KF just listed were coached by Burrow, y’all seem to forget that.

I think so.

I think BG is right, he was at TJ then at Ned in the late 80s-Early 90s , he coached me back in the day. I guess he was younger than I thought or coached past normal retirement age.

If that is the same Mattingly that coached in Nederland, I can't believe he didn't retire sooner.

He’s not playing for Nederland, let’s move on.

I don’t know for sure but that would make sense

Update 6/5: new press boxes have been lifted into place and the platform around them had been built. Sorry I would have updated this weekend but the site was having issues.

Yeah, the law about just having them doesn't make sense. You won't have time to get them if something happens. At least have the throw device out just in case.

True about the waders, they just become anchors if you can't get them off fast enough. How strong of a swimmer you are shouldn't determine if you wear the life jacket though, because if you are thrown from a moving boat you could be knocked out or dazed which is what it sounds like happened in the case of this kid.

IDK, I would like to see a covered area on both sides to keep people dry .

yeah. I hope they cover the walkways to the concession stands and bathrooms too for when it rains.

Yes, very sad. Unfortunately the law cuts off at age 13 for mandatory life jacket wearing while underway. It should be changed to all must wear a jacket while underway. My father-in-law just reinforced this to my child, he's 73 and still wears his jacket when the boat is moving. Way to many people could be saved by this if it was mandatory for all, just like a seatbelt.

Nederland is at 1478 grades 8-11 as of May. The 7th grade class coming the next year will be a lot bigger. [Hidden Content]

Update 5/31: I was able to get closer and noticed that the sidewalks under both stands have been replaced and widened, which is a good thing if you have ever tried to navigate a crowd under those stands. The framing is continuing for the press box.

Maybe someone letting their small child type ??

That was a heck of a game. I was glad I was there to see it. There were a couple of other classic Ned/WOS games in the early 2000s before they moved down.

Press box update: Both old press boxes are gone, the framing for the new one is currently going up. The new boxes are sitting on the ground waiting to be lifted. It looks like the three boxes are going to be combined somehow, they have all the metal stripped off of the outsides. It doesn't look like there will be a replacement on the visitor side.

Nederland and PNG were pretty much in the middle of the range for 5A D2. Unless some radical moves are made in the bottom or top numbers they will stay there.

There is having a discussion and then there is just having a circular argument and saying the same thing over and over. Two different things.

both of you are arguing in circles, just stop.
