Listened to most of the game. Vidor always play us hard and it sounds like tonight was no exception. Glad to hear the Indians are back to their winning ways, and that Roschon is back at full speed. Good luck during the rest of what's shaping up to be a great season, Pirates.

With the big push to legalize marijuana, I'm thinking a bong issue has a chance this time prepball.

While we're at it, prayers for Todd.

Had he been healthy already, he may have the record by now!
Looking forward to the rest of the season.

Nah, that my fly with some fans but not at House Johnson and Im sure for many on here! We want to beat the hell out of everyone, even if it doesn't work that way. A victory against Nederland is only a district W and district is never the goal. District should be expected, especially when you have such highly ranked and rated Qbs coming out PNG every few years.
Nederland is not that important, as satisfying a W against them is. Shug's list of goals as an 8th grader was to be starting Qb by 10th grade, break PNG records, become the best player there ever, become the Longhorns 2019 Qb recruit, and take this team to a state championship win.
He was able to do all but one. Beating Nederland wasn't on that list because in the grand scheme of all those lofty goals, winning against a district foe was much too small and to be honest, expected. Maybe when PNG as a whole gets this mentality again some big changes can be made. 

Got a story appropriate to this game,
An Indian walks into a saloon where there was a Pirate sitting at the bar.  He’d heard of, but never seen a Pirate before.  The Indian noted the Pirate had a peg leg, a hook for a hand, and a patch over his eye.  His curiosity aroused, he gets a stool next to him and strikes up a conversation.  “You look like heap big warrior.  Why you got that peg leg?”  The Pirate replied, “Well lad, we was caught in a storm off the Cape, and a big wave knocked me overboard.  Before me mates could haul me up, a shark bite that leg clean off.”  
“Holy buffalo dung”, the Indian replied.  “What about the hook?”
“Harrrr, we be down in the Caribbean boarding a trader ship for the booty, with guns ah blasting, and swords ah swinging, and some devil of the sea chopped me hand off.
“Son of a yeller bellied bluecoat, that bad poo”, said the Indian.  “How about the patch over your eye.”
“A seagull droppin’ fell in me eye”, the Pirate answered.
”You lost a good eye to seagull poo?”  The Indian ask incredulously.
”Well”......said the Pirate, looking down embarrassed, “it was the first day with me hook”.
 
 

While I would rather have RJ in the game, I'm feeling a little better after seeing Bost play more than a couple of snaps. I think we'll be in good hands the next couple of years.
Faircloth will have the team ready for the Pirates. It's at the Rez so....

PNG’s loss to Huntsville looks a lot better now that they blew out A&M Con. last night but if you take the whole body of work this season Vidor has been the better team. Gun to head I’m still picking PNG but I think there’s a strong chance mid-county goes 0-2 this week. I’ll take Vidor by a pearl and hope their game can travel. 

Blake Bost looked great the future is bright with this young guy

No sign of RJ. #17 warming up and when I say #17, I’m not referring to Dustin Long.

Its brutal how this offense deteriorates to such a degree when shug isnt on the field. 

Deep hole!! Hard to talk much trash when your as bad as we are!!

That’s obviously someone’s mom who created an account just to get that off their chest so I won’t respond. You have it right though Frodo. That’s a game PNG should win even without RJ.
People keep pointing to this or that as to the reason PNG lost but at the end of the day it’s simple. From the point the game was tied PNG had multiple 3rd and mediums they couldn’t convert and ended up giving the ball back to Tomball for critical drives at the end of the game. Add to that maybe the worst varsity interception I’ve ever seen where the qb literally threw the ball to a d-lineman standing ten feet in front of him and there you have it. But hey, like the lady said. I don’t know how to play football so that could all be nonsense? 

I am sure that the kids who dropped the TD passes feel pretty bad about it and will shoulder the blame for not scoring more. Number 3 that y’all are talking about feels the same way. May not wanna specify things and call kids out like that. Remember they are only kids. All Pros and all Americans do the same thing. These kids bustin their tails for png. Even if they come up short sometimes

Its been a tough two weeks 

If we win, the story will be that Tomball isn't that good.

On the road without your starting QB probably does not bode well for PNG.

I’m sure some of y’all remember a poster from several years ago named squaw. Arguably PN-G’s biggest fan, this was an old woman famous for having purple underwear and sneaking into the Astrodome early to get better seats at PN-G games in the ‘70s. She had a couple of sons who played on those teams in PN-G’s vaunted glory years.
She frequently used to say that the best motivation for some of those PN-G teams was taking a hard loss early in the season. In those days, it was normally to TJ or Lincoln. For the vaunted PN-G teams of 1989 and 1999, it was losing to West Orange-Stark. My senior year, the 2010 season, it was losing four games by a touchdown or less in the regular season. The point is, getting kicked in the teeth has a way of focusing high school kids. I think we all know what those teams I’ve mentioned went on to accomplish.
What I’m seeing described in these threads - players fighting on the sidelines, excessive penalties because kids are getting too emotional on the field, players not paying attention to the coaches, and so on - sounds like exactly what you would expect of a team that’s gone 23-4 the last two years and has only lost to the likes of Nederland, Memorial and College Station. They didn’t walk into this game expecting to get beat on their own field by a dark horse team nobody’s paying attention to. And when they got exposed, they didn’t no how to react.
This is a learning experience. We now know every way a defense can throw a wrench in our offense, and we’ve seen it done by arguably the best 5A defense in the state. This is the first opportunity I can recall in the Faircloth era for a good PN-G team to take a hard look in the mirror early in the season, and work on its shortcomings. Now we really get to find out how these kids respond in the face of real adversity.
Bear Bryant had a famous quote Alabama lives by that I wish some Texas fans would learn. “It’s awfully important to win with humility. It’s also important to lose. I hate to lose worse than anyone, but if you never lose, you won’t know how to act. If you lose with humility, then you can come back.” Let’s do that.
Scalp ‘em.

This is for everyone who thought Silsbee actually had a chance.
 
Be patient, there's enough for everyone
 

Well that was that. 
NEXT!!!!

Or, Silsbee avoided PNG...

Did they keep Big Girl? Please tell me they kept Big Girl.

As long as we have any talented team that has to come to The Reservation, PNG Indians have the advantage.  Just ask one incredibly talented Titans team that came in & left without the victory.  Poor Babies, oh wait I mean Poor Titans.  I guess all of your crying comments made me think of a baby. lol 
Oh well, such is life & High School football.
To Clarify & Make You Happy: GO PNG INDIANS FOOTBALL!!!  Now you can smile.  By the way, I personally do not everhave to save face. I have been attending the PNG Football games for 53 years, I have seen us with only one win on the season, I have seen us win State Championships.  I remain always, and I repeat always proud of my Indians.

I think it's about time I put this UT-issued law degree to use.
Ordinarily, in the absence of intended definitions provided within a statute or, as here, a statement, we construe particular words and phrases according to their plain and ordinary meaning in common usage. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines "physical" as follows:
Definition of Physical:
1. a. : of or relating to natural science;
    b. (1) : of or relating to physics; (2) : characterized or produced by the forces and operations of physics.
2. a. : having material existence; perceptible especially through the senses and subject to the laws of nature;
    b. : of or relating to material things.
3. a. : of or relating to the body;
    b. (1) : concerned or preoccupied with the body and its needs; (2) : sexual; a physical love affair; physical attraction;
    c. : characterized by especially rugged and forceful physical activity.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Similarly, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines "speed" as follows:
Definition of Speed:
1. (archaic) : prosperity in an undertaking; success.
2. a. : the act or state of moving swiftly; swiftness;
    b. : rate of motion, such as (1) : velocity, or (2) : the magnitude of a velocity irrespective of direction;
    c. : impetus
3. : swiftness or rate of performance or action; velocity.
4. a. : the sensitivity of a photographic film, plate, or paper expressed numerically;
    b. : the light-gathering power of a lens or optical system;
    c. : the time during which a camera shutter is open.
5. : a transmission gear in automotive vehicles or bicycles;
6. : someone or something that appeals to one's taste;
7. : methamphetamine; also, a related stimulant drug and especially an amphetamine.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Where multiple possible definitions of a particular word or phrase exist, we choose the definition or definitions which seem most reasonably applicable in the context of the term's usage. Here, the effective phrase "non-physical speed" was used on an online sports messageboard in a discussion regarding a football team from the small, east Texas town of Silsbee. The particular post which first raised the issue of "physical speed" did so by stating that "silsbee have some speed but it's not physical like the past" (emphasis added). In other words, this poster stated that Silsbee is in fact in possession of "speed," but not speed which is "of or relating to physics," which "has material existence," or which is "of or relating to the body."
It being established that Silsbee's speed is not physical, we next turn to the question of what non-physical constructions of speed could be applicable. Here, we determine that the poster's usage of "speed" could not have referred to "the act or state of moving swiftly," a "rate of motion, such as... velocity," a "rate of performance," the "sensitivity of photographic film," the "light-gathering power of a lens," the "time during which a camera shutter is open," a "transmission gear," or methamphetamine, as all such constructions of the word "speed" are innately physical. Therefore, we are left with only two constructions of the word "speed" which are applicable: (1) the archaic construction relating to "success" or "prosperity in an undertaking," and (2) the construction relating to "someone or something that appeals to one's taste." Thus, we are left to conclude that by stating Silsbee is in possession of "speed" but not "physical speed," this poster intended to express that he finds Silsbee's football team (1) successful, (2) attractive (i.e., appealing to his own tastes), or (3) both successful and attractive.
We note that whatever attraction this poster has for Silsbee's football team must not be physical in nature given his emphasis on "non-physical speed," and therefore that he possesses strictly mental or emotional attraction to Silsbee's football team. Likewise, we note that his emphasis on "non-physical speed" precludes the possibility of physical success, meaning that whatever success this poster could be referring to must similarly be mental or emotional. Therefore, we further conclude that by asserting "non-physical speed" on the part of Silsbee's football team, the post in question must be intended to say that Silsbee's football team is (1) mentally and/or emotionally successful (such as in the classroom, or in counseling), (2) mentally and/or emotionally attractive (i.e., intelligent and/or mature, qualities many find attractive), or (3) mentally and/or emotionally successful and attractive.
