Thanks, thought it was over when scooter said they were done.

What's the final score please?

How can an Ozen fan gloat over anyone else's demise? I can usally accept some criticism from someone whose team beat us, but not from someone whose team we stomped.

It's impossible to read all these threads, so if this has been mentioned, too bad. First, congrats to Lumberton on their big win. I hope you represent well and go deep. I wanted to mention the skydivers who landed in the stadium before the game. That has to be the most awesome thing I have seen in a while, especially at a local high school football game. I wish I had brought my DVD camcorder. Whose idea was that? That was truly awesome.

Jake, it's hard to add much to what you posted. Everything you said rings true. I would like to add soem though. I hope no one ever thinks I am bashing or in any way trying to lay blame for the outcome of the season on any one player. I would never do that. 1. I would like to see our defense leg tackle. We try to hit high and take down, or sometimes it appears we are doing nothing more than tackling the ball....trying to force a fumble. This just doesn't work at all. Guys like Hemmings and the RB for Dayton (both hosses) have to be hit low or they will drag you, which is what happened. 2. The QB in a spread offense has to be more involved in the run game..a la Vince Young. This is a weapon that Sampere brought to the game. I am not knocking Bellow, just comparing the two styles. 3. Our QB coach needs to teach the QB to look off his receivers. Telegraphing your passes makes it too easy for the defense to react when you eye one receiver from the snap. Also need to throw the ball away and not force a play. Give yourself another chance. 4. (Already mentioned) A more experienced o-line next year will surely have more blocking schemes for the RBs. 5. Other than that, I think we're perfect. :

Sports, created for the Olympic Games, was invented for combatants (enemies) to settle their differences with games, with the winner being proclaimed the victor. They thought it better than to kill each other. Although these game today are supposed to be played for the "sport" of it, you have to wonder when one team loses, the victors somehow feel they are "better in every aspect of life" than the loser.......NOT!!

I'm not one who likes to talk smack. It's really senseless. Just look at the posters who talk it. See what I mean??? I refuse to abandon my Bulldogs. They have played their butts off in every game except Dayton. Sincerely, we came out flat and never recovered. Dayton was pumped and did everything right. When you combine the two, you get a lopsided score like the one we had. I say the Dogs bounce back and win this one 28-16. Go Dogs!!

Yeah, the player has been having it handed to him the whole game, makes the tackle with two minutes left, and gets up shaking his head like, "Don't bring that stuff over here"!!! LMAO

Congrats Dayton. Man, we got it handed to us tonight. Dayton's RB #5 was like tackling a greased pig. He was amazing to watch. The QB was very good, and the defense...whew, what can I say. Like BMTSoulja said, they don't miss their tackles. Everything clicked for Dayton. Everything they did was right. I'm still a Bulldog fan and will follow them to Lumberton. I don't quit until I'm out.

I think it comes down to several things. Loss of players, don't pass enough (Driver is an excellent QB), and coaches have problems reloading and maintaining focus. Don't hate me, just my take.

Gee, we've already played this game hundreds of times this week. The real game could be anti-climatic. lol

It's amazing how the teams we face are never the same team they were at the first of the season. They have done nothing but improve. We here in Nederland just keep chuggin along wishing our team could improve. LMAO.

That's what I think.

No but we were in the playoffs. It's funny how you only use state appearances as the measuring stick for dominance, when actually some of the teams you have mentioned beat you during those years. Huh, I always thought consistency was the measure of greatness in sports. Duhhhh, what was I thinking? Someone mentioned that a dominant team struck "fear" in the hearts of their opponents. In that case, I would have to say the old Beaumont Hebert Panthers fill that bill. You literally dreaded playing those guys.

How many state championships does WOS have?

Here's a tablespoon. Try to feed that to someone else. Everyone wants to win state but you have to make the playoffs first.

That's a good one. lol

Good comeback, about what I expected.....respond to one part of one sentence.

We made it to the semis in 2001. Let's see you beat Smithson Valley. They went 5A the following year and played for state and lost, and they are right up there every year. I have all the respect in the world for WOS, but I have never been "afraid' of seeing us play them. When anyone mentions your failures, you try to sluff them off and just accentuate the positives. If just making the playoffs doesn't mean anything, why get all upset when someone mentions the years you didn't make it?

Nederland has a playoff run of 11 years straight. If other teams are more dominant, then why don't they own the streak? Some of those teams have even had playoff droughts. If you are not considered dominant unless you win the district crown year after year, then no team meets the qualifications.

Who deleted my post and why?

Exactly what my wife and I discussed. Put it this way....stand in front of a regular bathroom scale and then barely jump up onto it. You could weigh merely 100 lbs. and still peg it out. Can you imagine the force the bleachers would have to withstand if everyone started jumping up and down? Maybe instead of jumping, we could make it look like the wave. You must sit close to Harry. I'm in section J.

I've never heard of such a thing and I don't think Asa was ejected. Did #26 play for Ozen against Lumberton?? He was ejected in the 2nd half of our game last week. To answer the question, I don't think so.

Mike East, I agree that the fans have not been very vocal. The Ozen game was another. I can assure that I am hoarse today. If they can't hear me yelling, then they are deaf. I have had people ask me to quieten down before. I think this might have been a game that we thought we were going to win anyway, and lots of the men went to their deer leases. I thought it was a good idea for the young girl on the Jumbotron during halftime, asking for people to jump up and down to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica when the kids came back out. It got some response, but we need a lot more. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Nederland 27 Dayton 17 Hi P.P.....
