I think compassion is great but..the needy or lazy are riding in the wagon and the tax payers are pulling the wagon and it seems that as time rolls on more and more are getting into the wagon and less and less are pulling the wagon...get where I'm going with this? Heck what would happen if we all just jump in the wagon? I would guess then we could just sit still and have compassion for each other, and slowing starve to death.

I think the last transfer that happened at Ned was the Johnson boy transfering to P.A.

Well lets see Nederland population 18,000 one high school, port Arthur 60,000 one high school, no wonder memorial is scared of nederland

a few years back they did the 7:00 start time but it only lasted a couple of years, other than that it has always been 7:30. I think the consideration should be in favor of the fans more than the sports writers getting everything in by 9:30.

RaiderGirl we know you and you are really fair, just so you know Nederland likes you too.

I know you think having just two High Schools will enhance your chances of having a state championship in football but just remember when you combine one with the other two you will have two 6-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know you think having only two High Schools will enhance Beaumont's chances of a state championship in football but when you spread the students from one HS to the other two you will have 2  6-A schools and a lot of traveling. Be careful what you wish for.

Wow, sounds like last year at this time when a lot of you said Ned lost too much to graduation.

Of course the level of a rivalry is only measured by our opinions, but let me throw one more added opinion in the fire.  Odessa, and Midland each have two (2) 5-A high schools each. So seeing how they split their loyalty between two high schools it waters things down as far as the total community is concerned.  On the other hand Nederland, has but one High School, and PN-G but one High School, their can only be Bulldogs and their can only be Indians therefore the ENTIRE communities of each school live and breathe this game, and to top it off, the late and great Bum Phillips presides over this game from his pressbox in the sky. I'm 64 ( a Bulldog) and this year will be the 55th year  for me to watch the greatest High School Rivalry in Texas or the Nation.

what s their record so far this year?

I though the school he was at closed ?

Well then pay him for the track meet and send him on his way.

I kind of doubt he had time to move to Beaumont. and if he does sue BISD how much do you think he would sue for, he did'nt sign a contract, so salary was never agreed on, as least not in writing. My guess is they may pay hiim a token amount just for him to go away but it would'nt be anything like a years salary. The guy that decides whether the TEA takes over said he will take his time, I think thats wrong, it's the kids time he is taking and they've had enough taken from them already. 

Bulldogs / Indians, Dave Campbells magazine ranked us No. 3 in the State, I think they ranked Odessa Permian / Midland No. 1.  But those two schools are a long way off from each other, here in Ned and Port Neches/Groves we face each other every day of our lives, you lose this game and you gotta face the music from the other fans all year long.  When you're on the winning end nothing is finer, lose and it is close to someone dying in your family (NO JOKE)  The atomosphere at a Ned/PN/G game is like no other and those who would argue otherwise all I can say " it's a Bulldog/Indian thing you just would'nt understand."

This comment was brought to you by the No. 1 rivalry in Texas, and since no other state measures up to Texas I guess we're No. 1 in the Nation.

The media only reported a mess that was created by the (BISD) Superintenent and school board.(very poor background checking)  If they had not reported it then the mess would still be there only no one would know about it and the citizens of BISD would have a Head Coach that could possibly be preying on your children. Now I would think that the ones of you that seem more concerned about the slanted media being at fault here should thank them for doing the job that your Superintendent and school board did not do.

Ned 4 Vidor 0 with about 3 min left to play

So who has the better program? Ned or Ozen?  Why don't we change the names to Team ball and individual ball. The coaches, players, students and fans all expect to see the dogs win on Friday nights. Washington and Malveaux got scholarships this year and Colton could have, but that would be to their credit for achieving it. It would sure be unfair to the other 43 players on the team if they thought they were busting their tails just to earn scholarships for a few and not the glory of winning for their school and community. So for the critics of the way we do things in Nederland....it's a TEAM THING...you wouldn't understand.

Just because we didn't produce a ton of college recruits isn't a problem, it is a credit to the coaches to produce teams that takes down other schools who are loaded with recruited players.   some of you may remember a good number of years ago Bridge City had about 16 kids sign scholarships, yet they didn't make the playoffs. Colton Kimler did say he was giving up football and focusing on Academics, I think Colton has a bright future ahead of him, he's a smart kid. Their is no shame in not getting a scholarship, it just so happens a lot of times our bulldogs are not as big or as fast as others, but their hearts are bigger than they are and that's why we excel as a team.

_{04 Is right Big Ned's cupboard is not bare and a lot of underclassmen have gotten a lot of playing time both regular season and in the playoffs, Freshmen team and the JV teams were pretty good and should help fill the holes left from graduation. District championship will have to earned, I look for Larry Neumann to have the dogs in position to have something to say about it.}

COUGAR YOU ARE RIGHT THAT O LINE DID HELP OUR RUNNING GAME ALONG LAST YEAR...WELL WE GOT ALMOST THE WHOLE LIINE BACK (BIGGER AND BETTER THAN LAST YEARS) OH YEAH THAT RUNNING BACK IS BACK TOO.....AND HE'S BETTER.  WAIT TILL FRIDAY NIGHT IS ALL I CAN SAY.

Our offense will definitely keep our defense on the bench a lot more this year, we can grind it out or strike really fast, the cougars will find this out Friday night......Dogs 38-17

Bulldogs offense will be better than last year and while the defense might not seem as good at this point, give it a few games and it just may.

any updates to how the scrimmage is going?

Just a comment about first team and second teams Friday night.  Ned had 53 guys suited out and when the season starts their will probably be 43-44 on the varsity. The other 9-10 will drop back to JV. WOS on the other hand had 32 guys suited up...so its hard to come up with a complete 2nd team...WOS had at least half of their starters in the scrimmage at all times..right up to the end

The scrimmages are to find out who the starters are going to be, and even with the two scrimmages it may go several games into the regular season to get it right.  The scrimmages are not games, they are glorified practices that offer the coaches a chance to see who really stands out.  Come Friday night at West Orange Neumann will have the kids going in and out of the lineup continuosly, something that they would'nt do in a real game. There will no strategy or game plan...how could their be this is not a game. But it will be fun watching and getting an idea of the team that will take the field in a few weeks for real.

Come Friday night scrimmage with West Orange If we Win the scrimmage so be it, the main thing Neumann is looking for putting the folks in the positions for the games that do count. He can't get that right if winning a scrimmage is first priority.
