If you don’t have some of THE GROVES running through your blood, then you are soft! 🤣 Growing up in THE GROVES, I absolutely hated everyone from PN, I had no idea about Nederland, but playing for The Groves Browns, I wanted to destroy PN, in the 8th and 9th grade as a Brave at The Groves Middle School was absolutely no different, probably worse. I hated those softies over at PN, couldn’t believe I might have to be on the same team as them, this is 100% truth to my mind set back in the day.

I also am a “Grovite” who basically took the same path as you - played on the Browns and all. It’s absolutely true that you grow up as a Groves kid with a chip on your shoulder wanting to beat the “rich” kids of PN at everything! My senior year our starters were pretty evenly split between the two cities, but most of the hard-nosed kids are always from Groves. 
 

For reference, I married a PN girl and now live in PN - so there’s that. 😆

You guys are hilarious. Man I’m glad football season is back!

I like this game so early in the season - will give a true test to see where the Indians are at with the new head coach aboard.

Perhaps they should do a few things:

1. Quit doing the scalp ‘em thing. 
2. Quit worrying about what the Chief du jour thinks if his arguments are baseless. If there is merit to his argument, then consider it and adjust accordingly. 
3. Quit going to Disney. 

One of those is already going to happen. I’ll let you guess. 

I’m offended that you’re offended that you think I’m offended that they’re offended by that inoffensive term!

Good grief.

Yes they have, but from what I hear, it was without the fight song.  TVC is right.  There was a spectator that was offended and reported it.

This is incorrect. They’ve performed the fight song every year they’ve been for the past 15-20 years or so. Wore the headdresses every time. Headdresses were also in the audition tape worn by drum majors. Disney is flat-out lying and trying to save face by throwing PNG under the bus. 

Dustin Long also threw 3 picks that game. Didn’t help the Indians’ cause much. Ended up only being a 10 point game.

I think he means post-leather helmets…

Pretty sure the helmets in the 70s and  in 99 were hard. I know it been decades, but just saying - it’s happened before.

There’s not a coach in America that would get PNG to state. 

I believe it’s happened before….

Where have you read this? I haven’t seen anything official.

The 1999 Indians Lamarque game 

Go to around 2:22:40 towards the end of that game. That hit sums up the way the Indian defense played that night! Holy cow!

Man I love how everyone is in the know around here…

I don’t think the general public has any idea of the rumors swirling about Faircloth. Most of the rumors are being professed on this message board. That’s why you don’t see any type of protest or anything - most people just don’t know.

Trust me I’ve known many administrators and they say Cheerleader, band and Indianette parents are the worst. 

You sure are grouping a ton of parents into one category. Try not to generalize too much. I agree that a few bad apples give a bad name to a group a lot of times though. 

I don’t think it has anything to do with kids seeing the field. As stated above, one of those kids started/saw significant time playing and the other was on special teams and also saw playing time. Both of those members are not the type to go looking for a man’s job. Something else seems to be a foot here. 

Indians by a touchdown. Book it. 

I’m hearing rumors that the 1999 PNG team will be honored at the next home game - anyone know if there’s any truth to that?

The circumstances of this game are very similar to 1999....PNG was 5-1 in district, Nederland was undefeated and pretty much blew everyone out that year with their potent offense. An outright district championship was on the line for Nederland, a co-district championship for PNG. I think we all know how that turned out. Will history repeat itself?

Bingo!! Shotgun alley.....got to bring it back

Shotgun alley...that's where it was at! We also had some pretty intense offseason wrestling matches under Burnett. We were just coached all around to be the most physical players on the football field at all times. Pain is temporary, pride is forever!

My top 5 in my time. Never seen the 70's teams..

 

1. 1999    You know that story

2. 1989    If we were not banged up so bad we go the distance

3. 1996    Best defense I've seen

4. 1998    Dakari Pearson by far the quickest dude i have ever seen

5. 1992    Well, you know, because we beat WOS, had a DC and destroyed Nederland. We just could not get past Silsbee...

 

What you think P.B.F.????  That is about as legit as you could get right there. And to think some folks thought I played a tuba.... Or was it free safety? Who cares at this point!!!!

 

And for the ones who will hate... The difference is all of those teams would have popped them wide receivers till they gave up. PAM times 4. I will say RoJo would make it tough on the 98 team. Not sure he has the blocking Dayton had for DP, but he has the quicks.

I played on 2 of those teams...good times!

Forget 2017, how about the 1989 team vs 1999 team? That would be the game to watch!
