No it was regarding setx teams

I guess you are struggling with reading. The genesis post that was cited stated “SETX 3As”. The transcript is available.

No one said anything about anyone being scared. Sometimes its like you try to create an argument. Are you saying travel is the biggest reason? If you wanna be the best you have to play the best period. I'm willing to bet that when our schedule comes out we play top teams and we will have to travel for one or two games a good ways away. Funny you say no one is afraid to play Franklin but we still can't find a team to play us week 2.

I said Woodville and Diboll are clearly not afraid. Sometimes it seems like you try to create an argument. For clarification: when schools are similar in competition level and available, logistics is the greatest factor.

i didn't say Jasper is a 3a school I said we had 3 as in 3 setx schools.

Understood, the discussion that you cited in your quote when you mentioned Jasper was regarding 3As.

I don't think Franklin should play any SETX 3A's. Why would they? There is no benefit to Franklin if they do. Franklin is set up very well with Lorena, CS and Gunter.

What I was saying is SETX 3A's needs that kind of scheduling up if they ever want to compete. Playing Kelly, HJ, Shepherd, etc. every year pads their records but ultimately hurts their programs.     

Yep, Diboll and Woodville have done exactly that.

They wouldn't reschedule us for the next two years

A lot of factors go into scheduling but as indicated by the previous schedule, they are “not afraid to schedule Franklin”. I suspect logistics is the greatest factor.

We had 3 Jasper, Woodville, Diboll

Jasper is not a “3A”

Have you noticed that PNG is playing better non district opponents this year minus United 

Yes, let’s see if they do better this year than last year.

Thats awesome. This is why Franklin wins so much and wins State. The SETX 3A's want to play Bmt. Kelly and teams like that.  

I feel relatively certain that Franklin had two SETX 3As on the schedule for the last two years. How many of them should play Franklin each year?

They won the state championship. I believe I said it is my belief that you will be better prepared for your district opponents when you schedule better non district. Why? Because you have already faced better teams

Simply my belief on how you have a good chance of being better prepared once you start district play

Got. It is your “unsubstantiated and disproven” belief as illustrated with PNG.

Well Mr Falcon, I believe when you play good non district opponents , who all will be better than the 4 district opponents( who will be better than the non district opponents they have on their schedule) then you will have a much better chance of winning since you have faced better opponents than your district opponents vs facing weaker opponents than your district opponents 

Your non district record will not be good, however you will have a better chance to do well in district 

How did it work for PNG last year?

My suggestion on non district games was to better prepare them for district It had nothing to do with wins and losses. It had to do with playing better competition that will help get you ready for district I would say IMO there will at least 4 district teams better than their non district opponents, so again it is about getting them prepared 

You can rest assured if they lose to their scheduled non district opponents, you will see another 2-8 to possibly 4-6 season

And you can "rest assured" that losing to Pearland, Katy, etc in non-competitive games will not help them do any better in district either.

If I didn’t know better I would think some of these people that post all this hate stuff took one too many dives off the deep end without any water in the pool!  I just don’t where you come up with this stuff. I am finding out that you do not like the truth stated!!!

I have thought the same thing. Especially when people suggest that Nederland should schedule Pearland, Katy schools and other 6As.

Yes Bellville could have beaten Nederland worse than Silsbee. So I see LCMAlumtiger32 you are finally beginning to understand my post on how bad Nederland has been. Yes Silsbee is always overrated Have they won a state championship NO have they been to a state championship NO. Have they had some good teams YES  However the issue is that people think they are better than they are. That is why I say always overrated 

Yes, and because Nederland is playing Silsbee, Nederland will have no chance to succeed.

Yes there are some good coaches on the staff. That’s why they went 6-15 the past 2 seasons and their 6 wins were against teams with losing records

 

Is the new coach "good"? What was his record for the "past 2 seasons"? Be interesting to see he gets amnesia and forgets how to coach now.

Or whether or not he intends to implement relatively unknown coaching approach of teaching "fundamentals and technique"?

1 hour ago, spidersal said:

I do not know why you would want any coach that currently coaches the secondary and OL to return. Those key positions at Nederland have been absolutely horrible the past 2 years.  The secondary even longer than that.  In fact the receivers, LB’ers, and QB’s haven’t been good either. The DL coaches did a fair job and they had 1 good RB, other than that, the Bulldogs didn’t have much

That is why spring ball will help him evaluate talent and begin to get his program established and hopefully some players that quit and walking the halls will come back

Does not matter who they have for coaches, they did not schedule 6A schools from Katy, Cypress and Pearland in their pre-district. Still seems odd that a similar pre-district schedule did not hinder PNG this year?

Who do you think they should have scheduled curious to see? 

He wanted them to play 6As such as Pearland, Katy Schools or College Station.

26 minutes ago, spidersal said:

Yes it does and that makes it weaker than well water. I guess that is what happens when you go 6-15 the past 2 seasons and the program has a losers mentality philosophy!

That is a shame. Sounds like the new coach has no chance to turn the program around (because they are playing Silsbee, WOS, and Lumberton in pre-district). Probably will not even matter if they were to "teach fundamentals and technique".

HF

Week 1 LCM

Week 2 Hitchcock 

Week 3 Vidor

Week 4 FB Crawford 

Week 5 Stafford

Hitchcock may not have a team by the time they get to district.

I do not know. If they wanted an easy win, they have agreed If they wanted an opponent to get them ready for district, they would have declined They could have possibly tried Barbers Hill, LaPorte, Galveston Ball, Texas City for better competition, but in my opinion they went the easy route with WOS and Silsbee since they have been playing each other. These are positives for WOS and Silsbee and a negative for the Bulldogs. I would imagine that their 1st opponent will possibly weaker that those 2

Well, as long as they can find some coaches that know to "teach fundamentals and technique" they should be able to overcome the poor schedule.

Not so fast Mr Falcon. Coaches usually have an idea, a month or so before getting their packets and of course you have to see what is available. You can rest assured that the interim AD at Nederland had already spoken to the WOS and Silsbee coach about playing each other before Feb. 1

Understood. What do you think would have happened if he spoke to Pearland, Cinco Ranch or Katy? 

1 hour ago, spidersal said:

I have no idea who was at the meeting I do know that as usual they took the easy road ad usual. You asked what I would do to help the program, so I gave you some ideas. Obviously if you have watched the Bulldogs the past years under the staff that is there now, you would certainly know that the coaching was horrendous I see PNG went with a pretty good non district schedule other than United

So, you did not participate in the scheduling? It is usually very easy, just pick who you want to play and put them on the schedule.

Yes they improved a little, however who did they beat SF, GP, Willowridge, and Dayton and their defense was atrocious  Do you people never get tired of them playing down in non district They are 5A D2 and WOS and Silsbee are 4A D2. Nederland should win those games every year Nederland is now in the district with Lake Creek. What was that score in bi-district 

The 1st thing I would do is hire assistant coaches that teach fundamentals and techniques very well. Next I would begin an offseason where players are accountable for their actions. In other words it is time for very few mistakes and very few penalties You need to love the players while maintaining a very high standard of excellence 

You have made a great suggestion in that Nederland should find coaches that "teach fundamentals and technique". You should set up a meeting with the staff and share your insight. It is likely that if Nederland coaches were to "teach fundamentals and technique", they could dethrone PNG and Lake Creek. The only issue is that it will be difficult to find coaches that would know to "teach fundamentals and technique". 

Also, when you were at the meetings on Thursday, which schools were available for Nederland to schedule? The 6A schools and CS? 

29 minutes ago, spidersal said:

I would find some good schools around Houston Katy area, CY Fair area, Pearland, College Station. Some schools that would prepare them better for district

Where those 6A schools, CS available?
