With all of the Houston area schools affected as well, has anyone heard if they are considering extending the season one week giving the non-affected areas a week off to prep for first round games while SETX/Houston finish up???

So Moody will play a 2A after a real natural disaster, but not WOS after Gustav???? Go figure!

Do we listen to the Europeans?

They were the closest model for Rita! The only ones forcasting Rita into Galveston. All others had it down around Matagorda Bay. If you look at the Rita Models at 72 hours versus the Ike Models at 72 hours they are eerily similar. Lets hope they don't end up similar!

I laugh at the people that say PNG squeeked by BH. Look at the stats. The score does not always show the entire story. A Win is a win in the end, but PNG dominated that game on both sides of the ball. BH had 200 total yards (of which 45+ came at the end when PNG went prevent) and PNG was over 350. BH scored both TD's on the next play after PNG fumbles (both times they had the ball inside their 20). That's part of the game, but it wasn't like BH was doing anything that PNG couldn't handle. I will admit that Crosby was a nail bitter and PNG really played poorly in the first half, but MB did what he does best with his defense and made some adjustments at the half and got that young QB of Crosby rattled. They also opened up the playbook on offense.

I am not sold on PNG being a big threat in the playoffs, but I do see them getting one of the top spots in the District.

1. Central

2. PNG

3. Lumberton

4. Anybody's guess (Nederland and Ozen will at least be battle tested).

What you guys are not taking into acount is that the evacuation of the middle Texas Coast will create quite a bit of traffic up into Houston and Waller/Bryan-College Station areas begining tonight and well into Thursday and Friday. I think that probably played a pretty big roll in the cancellation. Also remember Rita was forcast to hit Matagorda Bay at this same point (72 Hrs) in 2005 with the models actually looking almost identical to Ike. We all know how that turned out.

kellys jv went up 20 to zero in the 1st quarter, the the players who play friday nights as well were taken outta the game. with everyone in the looked pretty solid

You can't play in a JV game on Thursday night, then the Varsity game on Friday. Rules violation. What's Mike Long got goin on over at Kelly??? ;D

That's good stuff.

The irony in that is that in 2005 the week after Rita, without a local stadium to play in the two Mid County teams made the best of a horrible situation and played one of the great MCM games of all time over in Pasadena. Imagine that moody!

Someone close to him told me today that he got in to UT and is gone to Austin.

Someone close to Roy told me yesterday that he quit! Anyone else hear this?

This hurts big time!

Who will step up?

One thing that I have always had a problem with is that most of the top nationally ranked programs year in and year out are private schools. Most states allow the privates to play with the publics in the same playoffs thus they get to recruit the top talent to one team. Imagine if Kelly could play in the 5A State Playoffs against the likes of Katy and SLC. Most of the top area talent would flock to Kelly to get that edge. Then the public schools would be watered down.

Look at the top teams from other states:

St. X - Ohio (private)

Concord DeLaSalle - Cali (private)

Evangel Christian - Louisiana (private)

Even Miami NW gets to pull from the entire district of over 100,000 students.

I just do not think McCown or Long did anything, but continue our history of being a hot spot for solid QB transfers...

You are kidding right?

Were you on campus in 2004?

SHSU Pre Long:

4-7

2-9

SHSU Long:

11-3

One game from the National Championship (farthest ever)

#3 National Ranking (highest ever)

Most wins in school history

Finished a close second for the IAA Heisman (Walter Payton Award)

Broke just a bout every single game, single season and career passing record at SHSU.

Attendance at Bowers was through the roof.

SHSU Post Long:

3-7

6-5

7-4

And in 2001 McCown was just a notch below Long in his accolades and is in second in most of those records at SHSU.

They did something! What a pompus jerk. Sure it would be nice to get a top notch QB for four years, but guess what, those guys don't want to go to SHSU or Lamar or any other FCS because they are getting offers to play on TV on Saturdays.

I think Tatums biggest problem has been the system and the lack of WR's. Johnson dropped a lot of balls last year ( a lot). And the fact that they only threw in obvious passing downs and ran the same stupid one step pump fake, three step pass deep play all the time really hurt him. He tends to over throw hi wide outs quite a bit, which I think is a product of having a big arm and no speed at wideout to go get it. He does throw a nice tight spiral and can chunk it deep with the best of 'em in the HS ranks. I think if Chaisson comes and Tatum would obviously RS his first year (no LU Footbal on 2009), he could be an asset in 2012 as a Junior after Chaisson. At the very least he could be a good backup.

Of you would with a name like Vidor.is.underestimated

Central will win this district. From bottom half last year to DC this year.

Why am I not seeing it????

Actually there were two common opponents.

Galena Park

BH wins 35-30

PNG wins 33-0

Also PNG played Crosby before they scrapped the Spread and went back to the power game. That game would have been alot different if they played a few weeks later!

After scrapping the Spread before week three, PNG went on a tear and averaged 27 ppg over the next 10 (including the playoffs).

I say:

PNG 28

BH 14

He has 22 total home runs between Low A (12) and High A (10) this season and he leads the High A team in HR with about half as many AB's.

His only negative is he K's a lot and he is batting in the .230's. But I look for him to be in AA next season.

They will not be dissapointed. He was a real asset to LU the past two seasons during games and at practice with his play and his leadership and attitude. Also nice to see that he graduated. We will really miss him. I for one will be following his career. Good Luck to Boo.

It has been around for years. A prominent PNG player was busted for selling it several years back as I recall, but I also new guys from PA and Bmt that were juiced as well, so it isn't relegated to just the so called wealthy schools. All schools have this problem.

I disagree.

Exactly what do you disagree with?

La Marque

That other Mizzou player is J. Maclin and just might be the best WR in the country (he and Crabtree) and he is only a Soph. Top 10 draft pick in a few years.

Shouldn't good ole' Dan be getting penalized for having 12 men on the field.  ;D

I remember a PNG - Ned game in the early 90's when Booby August (pun intended) made the statement in the local media that they (Ned) had some trick plays up their sleeves for PNG.  With the score something like PNG 35 Ned 0 at the half, the run thru sign for PNG said "Silly Dogs...Tricks Are For Kids!"  Classic!!! ;D
