I know it's an SETX board but I know there are a few McNeese fans or at least followers on here. I'm back in sports reporting, covering McNeese for the American Press. So if any of you guys want to follow, my twitter is the same as my name on here. 

Unless you know the details of Newton substituting kids in and passing the ball late, it’s probably best not to say this. Very possible backups on the team took a running play and scored late. I’m not gonna tell a kid not to score when he just gets in.

You are correct. Newton outmatched us in every way, even the backups were scoring. And what's worth noting here is that it wasn't so much that we had a bad defense. We actually looked pretty decent on that side of the ball. But against Newton's offense, there was nothing we could do. I'm telling you, if you're on Newton's schedule this yr, be ready. You'll get the same treatment. It may not be 71-0 but I can assure you.....all of you will lose.

Given that Coach Waggoner has been hired as a football coach and not a spiritual advisor, I don't think the misgivings of your pastor (which, as a Roman Catholic, I find to be completely irrational) will be an issue here.

Last night I attended the community advisory committee meeting concerning the merger of Ozen and Central into United High School.  Just some notes pertaining to athletics...

Bro, I'm not at work 24 hours a day. Bro, I'm not breaking news, I put a tweet up in a thread that seemed like it would be useful for. Thanks for being concerned with what I do with my time though.... bro.

Speaking of PAM QBs, I just saw that Kadon Harrison just switched from QB to WR at UL

the sun can give you skin cancer but you go outside don't ya?

That wasn't quite what he said. He said the family wasn't willing to relocate. That makes more sense in my eyes if that was actually what was said. FSU went after the UM WRs coach but I think the wifey helped put the clamps down on that. So he's still in Coral Gables.
 

Not sure if anyone else saw this yet, but Grayson Padgett hit a walk off home run for Houston against San Diego in the 12th inning. Said in interviews and tweeted pretty much that he did it in Blain's name. Pretty cool story in such a tragic time for the Padgett family.

WOSGrad, I respect your opinion on that and everyone else who feels the same way. But at the end of the day the coach has to win. It won't matter how much he can help unite the community if the team comes out and starts 1-5. Fans will be united in complaining about the team's struggles. I'm not saying he will do for sure struggle, I hope he succeeds with United. But just from being on the outside, I haven't seen anything that shows he will.

I really understand what your saying Grad, and he very well may be the one but I just wish they would have giving everyone fair opportunity . Instead of interviewing coaches and telling them who they could and couldn’t bring. To me that’s a bias process.

If Todd Peterman applied for United, I'd have to imagine he applied at PA Memorial. I think he'd be a great fit there.

Meh. Lots of people have said that in regards to the team they play/coach for. Not many of them had their homes washed away due to natural disaster either.

Purple & white takeover

It was my opinion that Kenny would have probably left PAM earlier if not for his son being in high school when he was. I will say, I give the school board and school district credit for sticking with him through that rough two-season stretch right at the end of them being in 6A.
Whoever gets the job next will have a ton of talent and a heck of a fan base lol
