You continue to discredit those with first hand experience with a "bias" label. Your "unbiased" definition appears to be an opinion of those that may be the least knowledgeable. I respectfully ask; who much time and effort have you personally spent really access the need of the district? Agenda? Whats wrong with an agenda to improve school facilities, reduce utilities, improve technology, etc... and yes, improve athletic facilities. I also ask; are you a Nederland tax payer? Just wondering and on disrespect intended. Not clear. In your attempt to educate you failed to explain the other side of the coin. Biased can be someone that does not want their taxes to go up no matter what the need or benefit and tries to discredit those who may have some involved insight. (By the way, I totally understand and respect the statement that someone doesn't want or can't afford a tax increase but not at the experience of discrediting others) So who needs the education? By not answering the question about being a Nederland tax payer I will assume your not and you really just enjoy a good debate. ;D ;D Yes Also a fan of other area schools Also a fan of educational improvent

Record breaking last quarter surge to end half game out of wildcard spot. 8)

True Skip, patience is the key for bear fans

I don't claim to know the athletic/stadium needs. But on the lighter side; Am I the only one that finds it extremely ironic that there is so much opposition to turf and stadium improvements on this sports site/football thread? ;D

Is it so hard for you to comprehend people that actually have the kids interest first? Does anyone that makes that statement have to have an ulterior motive? ??? ???

I agree. Kudos for making it happen with limited resources

First I would like to commend you on your effort to improve your district and your commitment to serve on the bond committee. There is a lot more time and effort involved than most people think. I also think you have done a very good job of presenting the facts and representing your position. I equally appreciate those who differ because their opinions/votes also matter as long as they are informed opinions. Now, if it appears the stadium and turf improvements could cause the bond to fail, the committee may want to concider separating those items and having two bond proposals to vote for. WOC had to split their bond request because of opposition to turf. In the end their bond passed by a slim margin and the turf bond failed. If they had not separated it the bond would probably have failed. Good luck on a successful bond campain because the students deserve it.

There are some claims that artificial turf holds Staph, possibly from players and treatment is recommended. A more recent study claimed the problem is not nearly the concern as once thought. Artificial turfs are not maintenance free. The biggest advantage, as stated earlier, is the versatility to accommodate a lot of activity without wear. The cost is about $900,000 - $1,000,000 with a $600,000 replacement recommended after ten years. The numbers can be manipulated but in most cases its hard to say its cheaper than natural grass turfs.

I really appreciate a GOOD natural turf.

Great info There have been other close WOS games that could have gone the other way but they never do. They certainly have the edge even in close games. Can't agrue the history.

True A lot of schools have talent walking their halls. Programs have to attract the talent and then know how to get the most out of them. Maybe it's the WOS program that attracts the athletes.

??? ??? If I didn't know better I'd think this tread was started by a WOS supporter trying to generate some well deserved praise. ;D ;D

Their style seemed to belong in the WWE; hard to take them serious. JMO

Thank you

THANK YOU! Bob Byerly was on the tip of my tongue and it was killing me.

I like the idea of the lords prayer being recited from the stands before the game during the moment of silence. I think the fans and probably the students would like it also. But I'm sure some would balk at it and then the authorities would stop it. I wish that the supreme court could be overruled on their judgment about school prayers. Instead the majority of Americans cannot pray publicly even though we out number the ones who don't like it. Great idea

According to your reasoning, the students should not pray either for fear of offending someone. Our God is a jealous God and I don't think he objects to offending others in His name. True, the laws of this land are not in alignment with His but this country was founded based on Christian values, but we're slipping away from those principles.

I agree with WB WOS. This would be THE game.

It won't take much success for most to concider next year better than this past season. Most, including myself, will be happy with any improvement that carries over year after year.

What's the date?

I never liked the Tapout guys but hate to see it happen

Can anyone say, retirement?

Two undefeated fighters in a title fight should be good.
