DarthVidor

After many years off disappointment, despair and futility, words can hardly express how proud I am of our football team...It was nice feeling that we had a chance to win every week.  Damn it feels good to be a Pirate!  Way to give our town something to be proud of!

[/quote] Vidor won the district championship but was eliminated during bi-district.  That game was played in the 'Dome. [/quote] Right you are Grad, played Aldine in the 'Dome in '78, lost Bryan Harris, the team's leading running back on the opening kickoff and it was all downhill from there. Will be going to the Ned game tomorrow night to support the 'Dawgs and see 20-4A pick if win #2. [/quote] Ok thanks!  That makes sense then.

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1088632" timestamp="1319149085"] All i'm gonna say is watch out for Big Buc this year. I heard he's a rowdy one lmao. But i'll tell him to stay away from the png [size=12pt][b]MASCOT[/b][/size]. wouldn't wanna mess up yalls feathers or face paint or anything  ::)  8) [/quote] Wouldn't want to ruffle his feathers or mess up his make-up huh? lol GO BIG BUC!!!

[quote name="pngfan66" post="1086702" timestamp="1318933969"] Honestly, I thought a team only had one rival. How did Vidor get so lucky to have so many. They must be the rich people over there since they can afford to have so many rivals in sports. We are just poor folks in mid county. We can only afford one Rival. [/quote] Lol, thats funny :)  I think the reason we have so many rivals is because Vidors rival used to be French, which became Central, so  naturally most put the rival tag on Central...Others who felt like we needed a rival latched on to Nederland likely because of a few spirited contests between the teams in the '80s...This is purely speculation tho and I haven't researched the scores between the two schools so don't blast me if I'm wrong. Also I've never heard of PNG being a rival until I read this thread.

[quote name="TNTITANS" post="1085330" timestamp="1318802670"] I would have said Vidor by about 20.  The question will be if their hearts and minds will be on the game after one of their team mates was killed early this morning.  Gonna be a rough and emotional week for them and where their minds are will depend on the outcome of the game.  GO PIRATES!! [/quote] My thoughts exactly...I think they will be up for the game but you never know how a team will respond after a tragedy
