Week 0    Silsbee Week 1      WOS [/quote] That's a big philosphy change for PNG. They generally use the philopshy of playing larger schools in pre district to prepare for district.

You guys had a great season. I'm just curious as to some other opinions than what I've already heard.... What good exactly is a verbal commitment from a kid or should I say for a kid? There is no guarantee right? It kinda tells everyone else to back off he has made a decision right? Just asking opinions on this topic. [/quote] Basically it means squat. [/quote] It means a little more than that. I means a kid has made a choice of where he wants to spend the next four to five years. Let's other's know he has made a decision and hopefully other recruiters will stop calling. However, if it is a kid someone else really wants the calls may still keep coming. For a coach receiving a verbal commitment it kind of tells him where he is scholarship wise if the young man keeps his commitment to national signing day. Lamar signed four juco's in December, this is their sixth commitment so if everyone stays on board that tells me we have 12 other scholarships available come Feb. Lamar had 22 scholarships to start with. Here are some other verbals for Lamar. OL/DL Joe Persohn Jr  Hardin Jefferson 6'3" 253  BE SuperGold 1st Team, Jr&Sr OT Bret Treadway Silsbee, Texas Silsbee 6'2" 245  BE SuperGold 2nd Team DE Corbin Carr Nederland, Texas Nederland 6'3" 245  Honorable Mention All-State DE David Hollyfield Silsbee, Texas Silsbee 6'2" 230  BE SuperGold 2nd Team WR Jayce Nelson Port Neches, Texas PNG HS 6'1" 190  BE Super Gold 1st Team, Jr&Sr, Honorable Mention-All State [/quote] When you add the Holmes kid from Newton then all the verbals to date for the February signing period are SE Texas kids.  That said, I hope the coaching staff is working the Houston and other metro areas of Texas pretty hard.

What's his size and his 40?  What where his stats for the year?

Bullets, you must have too much time on your hands.  LOL!!!!  :)

[quote name="bigred360" post="1150892" timestamp="1324955365"] Lamar is actively recruiting the WR Seales. [/quote] Anyone else BR360?

Is LU lookig at any of these kids?

This will be real interesting to see what plays out with the hire of a new coach a WB.  It will tell us a whole lot.

I have spent a lot of time in my life in Tenaha!  Grandparents lived there for many years.  Way to go Tenaha!  Tenaha Timpson Bobo & Blair!!!!

The more this guy talks, the more I like him!!  Wish I had the same feeling about our other marquee program!

[quote name="badndn" post="1146331" timestamp="1323895466"] Shocked that a top UT recruit is left off of this list, deserving or not (in this case deserving of being on the list, but in many cases they make the list undeseringly)! One in particular was 4A Defensive Player Of The Year a few years back, but 2nd team All-District! [/quote] And he has surprised me by making the depth chart and seeing the field.  Thought for sure he would have been a transfer by his second year.

Wonder how this would have been viewed if the shoe was on the other foot?

Go PA Memorial Titans!!!  Beat Cibolo Steele then win state baby!!!

Go P A Memorial Titans!!!!  Take it all the way to state!!!!!

Bring a state championship back to Beaumont!  Go Kelly Bulldogs!

When you win championships and playoff games, attendance takes care of itself.  If Woodard gets caught up in promotions on attendance to earn that bonus, then the focus is completely wrong.  If he stops "good ole boying" the way he runs the program, he may have the kind of success that LU supporters desire.

[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1135326" timestamp="1322661602"] Scooter is on the run. He's wanted in Mont Belvieu. Those ants are very angry with him. [/quote] This might be the post of the Year!!!!  ;D

[quote name="bullets13" post="1135832" timestamp="1322699835"] [quote author=coachacola link=topic=92395.msg1135670#msg1135670 date=1322686278] Provost Umphrey Stadium could be expanded to a similar size (without the winged endzone seating) if they just wrapped the lower section around the south endzone, extended the main sections past the back of the endzones, and replaced the press box with a large one like UNT's stadium. [/quote] gonna have to improve the quality of the product before that many people are going to start buying it... [/quote] +1  ^

What a refreshing example of what team ball is all about and everyone playing to their best ability within the team concept.  Good luck to Kelly this weekend!  I love underdogs.

[quote name="Green Menace" post="1134373" timestamp="1322581948"] Is Time Warner carrying the Longhorn Network in the Triangle? [/quote] That is really a nice looking stadium!!! UNT alums and students should be proud.

NOTHING!!!!  Thats what the UIL is going to do in this situation!!!!

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1134397" timestamp="1322583193"] [quote author=NorthoftheBorder link=topic=92384.msg1134383#msg1134383 date=1322582152] The UIL is a coward in this situation.  The excuse that it happened after the final horn sounded but the kids were still on the field reeks of a yellow spine! [/quote] I am not a big fan of the UIL, either and like you, I have a measure of frustration that there is no involvement on what could have been a life threatening issue for folks on both sides.  However, I can't really can't really be too critical in this case.  The fact is plain and simple, the UIL does not have any rules on the books with regard to post game fighting.  Believe me, I looked.  They have rules regarding in game fighting.  They even have rules about fighting at halftime.  But there is absolutely NOTHING with regard to sanctions for post game fighting.  So for the UIL to have acted, would have involved very creative interpretations of the UIL Constitution which would have probably opened themselves up to a different sort of criticism. Coach Jackson is reputed to be someone who is willing to sanction his own players, we'll just have to see if he lives up to that reputation. [/quote] I would think that as long as the teams are on the field of competition and in uniform, the UIL should take sanction responsibility.  Their own rules protect them from getting involved in this situation.  I say they need to change the rules.

I can't say what will happen in regards to Ozen's self dicipline (I am hopeful that they will properly address the situation), but I am confident that based on how many years LM has brought the "in your face, taunting attitude", if anything they will reward their players for their actions.  It will not stop at LM until they are punished severely from the outside. The UIL is a coward in this situation.  The excuse that it happened after the final horn sounded but the kids were still on the field reeks of a yellow spine!

[quote name="FAST FREDDIE" post="1133076" timestamp="1322433003"] I'm not going to go into detail about who I am, hopefully my member name speaks for itself, with that being said; yesterday was total misrepresentation of the Panther Program and any team who faced Ozen at any point from 97 til 2011 knows this has never happened. I witness a totally non-disciplined team from LaMarque from the pre-game warm up in which a player crossed the 50 yard line and begin jaw jacking to players who were doing ground stretches and had to be pulled away by coaches and teammates too the first punch being thrown by a LaMarque WR which drew a flag and the entire LM bench coming onto the field.. Honestly you wanna lay blame first at the players but you can't totally blame KIDS. POOR OFFICIATING AND POOR DISCIPLINE FROM LM COACHES.. At the end of any game following the good sportsmanship handshake teams are escorted either to the right or left by their coaches this was not the case on yesterday.. I will say this and leave this topic alone until these kids are lead with discipline first and not allowed to act first then get reprimanded this won't be the last time it happens [/quote] I have only seen LM play one time and what you described that you saw in the Ozen game is exactly what I saw myself 4 years ago. 

[quote name="octfeb" post="1132019" timestamp="1322356208"] Seems they were a little scrappy last year when they played Dayton. :( It's sad really. The adults in charge of these kids, seem to over look the obvious. [/quote] Quite frankly I think they encourage it.

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="1131673" timestamp="1322346377"] ANother fight on the field,  They are brawling on the field [/quote] You should have seen the LaMarque team and players after Lumberton beat them 4 years ago.  The whole thing, from the pregame to the end of the game was one of the worst displays I have ever witnessed.
