The "what if" people. Nederland would have gone once as the district champion even though it was a tie for first place. Nederland would have gone on point spread. I wonder if PN-G would like to have Nederland's current 11 playoff streak or if they would reject it by saying that it didn't come by way of district championships. Heck, I bet that if PN-G gets third place this year, Matt Burnett will turn it down and forfeit since they didn't make it in first place. If it is so easy making the playoffs under the current format, I wonder why so many teams in the district find it hard to make the post season consistently, if at all. ;D

I was worried that a day would pass with a new Lumberton thread. Now I can rest easy.

Everyone knows that this thread is a joke but I have a confirmation that Lumberton was scheduled to scrimmage the Dallas Cowboys at Valley Ranch.

Still on standby. The guy that had the spot at First Point was supposed to get that south Texas lease. He was going to hold his confirmation until he was sure that he got that lease. He still hasn't gotten back with us to say if he got the lease or not. According to him, it was a done deal, just waiting to sign on the dotted line. And I wait, and I wait....... I already have my vacation set on those dates.

For a challenge it is definitely deer hunting. While just killing a doe for meat is not that hard, killing a nice buck can be very difficult. There is not a lot of challenge to killing ducks although the conditions now can be a bit tougher than 20 years ago. There are no real trophy ducks to be had. Sure you can mount them and one might be a bit prettier than another but it is hard to tell one greenhead/pintail from another once they are mounted. Which is more fun depends on what you like to do. If you like to pull the trigger and retrieve your game, then you had better bird hunt. If sitting for many hours alone for a single shot is your pleasure, then obviously it is deer hunting. I have done both many times and had fun on most occasions. At one time I spent way more time duck hunting. Now I only hunt deer. When I was younger I loved going into the marsh and setting up. Now, even if I was offered a hunt, I am not sure that I would go. It just doesn't have the appeal that it once did. I have had many more successful duck hunts, killing hundreds of ducks and geese. Maybe I just got burned out on it and it doesn't hold the challenge that it once did. Both are great sports and have appeal for different reasons. My youth was filled with duck hunts and now middle age is filled with deer trips. I think that I have changed from having the need to pull the trigger many times and go out to get the game to enjoying the quiet of the woods and waiting for that one chance at a shot.

Let's see, he said "about 1987" so I will go with '86-'88. 1986 Nederland 21-12 1987 Tie 14-14 1988 Nederland 29-0

The last time that I checked, telephoning (shocking) was an illegal way to fish. ;D

No.

Pretty much. If you want it, you can get it. The Smalltown, USA stuff is naive and doesn't exist. I sure wish it did but anyone that believes that is kidding himself.

Speed doesn't help if you are running down the field with the ball on the ground behind you.

Whew!! It has been almost 24 hours since a different "How good is Lumberton" type thread has popped. I was getting worried. ;D

After you add the pork for the sausage, yeah, she is heavy...now.

I had one want under my ladder stand like that this weekend but I let him go hoping for a larger one. Then I shot a doe. ;D

I don't know what we will do if we lose. It is so rare, maybe a few years since we have lost a game, we might just all go jump off of a cliff. :

Tackling by instinct? It can be just as dangerous as a face mask but you are more than willing to ban that. Why one and not the other? The NFL has banned it as being dangerous but you think high school kids can pull it off without injury. Interesting.

It is for a topic of conversation. It is no different from this forum. Why have a forum?

He was talking about a streak that ended in 1984. I am not that good in math but I think that is more than 8 years. Correct me if I am wrong. ;D

You don't get to return a muffed ball to an imaginary spot on the field. A recovery of a muffed punt is a dead ball at the spot of the recovery. If the impetus of the ball carries it into the endzone then it is a touchback.

I guess what you are saying then is that PN-G is open to the big play? The only way Nederland scored 40 points on Central was big plays and interception returns. I am fairly certain that the points counted all the same and you don't get penalized for making a long drive all in one play.

Yep, still a long way to go.

Great streak. It is interesting that PN-G has to go back more than a generation to have something noteworthy to talk about. The fact that they have been owned in the 2000's seems to have escaped them.
