So I told her to get out of my fort...

Lol. I hear ya. I kinda like blowouts every once in a while. On the giving end anyway. 

VP93 I’m on your side. But coach23 makes some honest points. Is Lumberton in a weak district? Yes. But so what! Look at University of Alabama’s schedule. They won’t get their first real test until this weekend’s LSU game. They’re still ranked no. 1 all year. And they deserve it. Lumberton has had some good years, and a lot of not so good years. Let the moms, dads, student players, coaches, etc. toot there own horns. It’s fun. It’s exciting! It’s the reason some of these athletes (kids) even go to school! And they deserve it! Coach23, I’m a realist. Sometimes it gets under my skin to hear all the hoopla, hand clapping and high 5’s over something you might consider average at best. But who cares! Nobody said Lumberton was going to state, did they? Let em have their moment to shine. A lot of those kids will never play football again after this season. I’m proud and happy for every student athlete that ever walks into the arena...that puts in the effort and enjoys every win or hopefully learns from every defeat. They are KIDS. Let them shine.

FAVORITE POSTERS of Hagar & TxHoops!

I think he is which makes his posts even more ridiculous. I’ve never seen anybody trash their own football team so much whenever they are in place to win an outright district championship for the first time ever. Do i need to remind people that we are talking about Lumberton here. The same Lumberton that has won a tri district championship, and bi district championship, and been to the playoffs as a fourth seed. Other than that we’ve been irrelevant throughout our 50 years of football. And here we are in this position and people still find stuff to gripe about.
We held Jasper to less points than wos did (yeah let that hit you. Our defense did better than wos did). We lost to a pretty good Concordia team who also beat Huffman as well. So they aren’t no slouch. And we were about 3 blown coverages away from making it a very close and interesting game with a Silsbee team that only allowed 21 points to Nederland two weeks before. The same Nederland team who is still undefeated to this point.
I’d say, all things considered (and remember it’s Lumberton we’re talking about), we’re having a pretty dang good year. And I’m looking forward to the next several years.

...a business owner to make deals and preach about making the district greater when he went to Ozen, but yet, enrolls his kids currently into private schools...

I think Bridge City squeaks out a win in the friendly confines of Historic Larry Ward Stadium.  It's a tough venue in which to play.  I expect Livingston's players to be freaked out by the flyover that will come courtesy of the Orange County Mosquito Control plane.  Tired legs from the long bus ride and the fact that that the telephone poles are all taller than the trees will be hard for the Lions to adjust to as well.  They will no doubt be amazed by the size of our stands and our ample parking.  
It will also be mesmerizing to look across the field and see several thousand people dressed in red watching in eery silence as the contest unfolds.  Except when our award-winning band plays their hearts out, predominantly while we're on offense. 
There's no place like home. 

I know you’re referring to me so I’ll say this: just like you get tired of seeing our optimism, your hatred towards the team and coaching staff is getting old as well. I don’t accept average either, but guess what- you gotta be realistic too!! Takes time to build a winning culture and that’s exactly what Babin is trying to do (or is doing rather), and it’s negative people like you who will stunt that growth.
Are we more competitive now than in years past? Well heck yeah, that’s called improvement. Accept it and expect better next year. For now, be happy we’re moving in the right direction.

You know it’s gonna be a real exciting football matchup when the 10th post switches over to basketball.  Lol.

True. 

Earl Campbell probably got stuffed sometimes too. Don’t mean he wasn’t a running back...

I’m sure in the last 24 pages someone else has made this point. I’m just too exhausted to try and sift through it all. 
What happened was a violation of the rules. Only the PNG Coaching staff knows the spirit of that violation. Was it intentional? Was it a misunderstanding? None of us know. Hell, I even saw comments from a lawyer on here. Lol. PNG has to answer for that infraction and move on. Opinions don’t matter. 

LCM by a score

They broke the rules. Intentionally or not, pay the price and move on. 

That’s a fair assessment. I can respect that.

Not tooting any horn. He does take a play off here and there,  you would too if you played both ways and weighed that much. I know I would. And yes his primary position is D-Line, but he has had 9 offensive Td's and 1 defensive Td. 

If you're traveling through Beaumont, got to stop at J & J's in Eastex Freeway.  Very good Salt & Pepper chicken wings.. 

I remember the first time I logged into a discussion forum. 

My bad on if I was not clear on the stats.   I was only considering the district games.  Pretty sure we are right at 400 for those.  Not sure on the Splendora QB and interceptions thus far.  I have watched some film on them and have not seen one.  He is pretty dang good.  However, since the first quarter of the Huffman game, Lumberton has played lights out on both sides of the ball.  This is gonna be a good one and the team that comes out on top will have played their best game of the year.  Will take 100% effort and a break or two to get the W.
