The Icon

Initial thoughts going into the season, which are probably 50% wrong anyway:
1) Top Tier - Barbers Hill, Crosby, Nederland, Port Neches-Groves
2) Middle of the Pack - Dayton and Vidor
3) Bottom Rung - Baytown Lee and Santa Fe
***(Each listed in alphabetical order)
 
Vidor will sneak one past one of the teams in the top tier because that's what they seem to do. Dayton could easily be a top 4 team with Nations bringing in former Dayton OC/Groveton HFC Crauss back into the fold to call plays. Maybe they capture lighting in a bottle from their mid/late 2000s runs...? Westerberg gained a transfer at QB, which one could argue was BHs undoing last year in district play due to injuries. PNG will go as far as their QB will take them, and Nederland will do what they always do.
I don't see Lee or Santa Fe making legitimate threats to any of the other 6 teams in the district. 

Wos wins 7 more games,  the mustangs will have the highest winning percentage in the country. An amazing feet congratulations to all wos football players young and old who played  apart of this incredible journey. Again congrats

I was referring to Manvel and Marshall. Manvel would not want to call out Marshall, because that would be the pot calling the kettle black.
My intention was not to create a GCM vs Crosby mudslinging session.

I had tried to put the Michael Jackson eating popcorn pic here, but y’all can use your imaginations.

Unfortunately.

Rumor I heard this weekend was that Ned will be installing industrial grade fire monitors to more efficiently soak the field pre any game with PN-G. Should save taxpayers some money over time as opposed to rolling out 50 water hoses. 

This....

The City of Nederland's as well.   As far as mat's statement about lack of industry, Nederland does tax Sunoco and some of the tank farms near it, but no, they don't have near the industrial tax base of BMT or PA.   The low taxes are a testament to good management  by the city and NISD to provide services without raising taxes.   That said, I am not against a small raise in taxes to build new schools and infrastructure.  We must keep investing in our children and our city to move forward.

The 3 new board members all pro bond with a very respected person getting voted in that carries a huge amount of weight to get people to vote. I believe the majority of the members now are for a bond. After talking to a lot of friends and people in the community majority of them are for new schools and stadium! 

Well, some like yourself say you don't want taxes increased a little bit to pass a bond.  Well, it don't really matter because the board, consists of mainly of old heads won't vote to pass one.  But, good things are coming to Nederland.  Those old heads are slowly dispersing and the younger guys will make some great moves.  I can't wait to see...

Keep in mind what’s best for kids, and everything should be fine. There’s nothing wrong with investing in our nation’s future.

Good.  Maybe he can start a trend to get some young  blood up there with fresh and new ideas and get some things going as the town as a whole seems to be getting younger.

Made it back about an hour ago!

Quotes, board meetings, red tape, etc
Tbey probably will fix it, the timetable will be longer than any of us think it should be

Smh, the turf was paid for by the scoreboard advertisements fund.  A totally separate account.  If Nederland did this, they could pay for turf as well...

No sure why it’s not allowing me to type with those quotes, anyway...
Itll also come down to $$$ for the opening, operation and closing of each facility. Who works concessions and tickets? Will PAM get any cut of either of those? So on and so forth. As well as scheduling with either PNGISD, BISD or LU.

Nederland’s should not even be in discussion per the issues (grass, wear and tear) that we already know. 
I doubt PN-G would want to let PAM into its stadium for home games. 
LU seems like a win for all sides. Good recruiting exposure for Lamar and a chance to make money for a cash strapped athletic department. PA should provide buses for its fans and students to attend these games. 
 
 
 
 

Not $60K, that’s for sure 

Glad you’re feeling better Grad

And apparently not just for Houston Austin or New Caney...
