Unfortunately, I hate to say this, but I think the end result of this game will show the fallacy of 4 teams in the playoffs.  The playoffs used to be something of pride.  Now for the first and second place teams it still is.  Why did they go to 3 and 4?  Is it playoff money for schools?  The touchy-feely thought of working towards "everybody gets a participation ribbon?"  I tend to lean towards the former.  If it's the latter, why not allow all the teams to make the playoffs?  Come close the circle and complete the joke!
Ned beating all the weak teams to gain a "playoff" spot, really, is this a badge of honor?  If you end up getting embarrassed because you really shouldn't be there, where's the honor?   Concerning this, being the tallest midget in the room doesn't help much!
I'm more concerned with the UIL changing this so not to put teams like this in an bad situation.  I've seen 2-8 and 3-7 teams make the playoffs.  Really?!  Thoughts?!

I'm old school and I like just two teams going to playoffs.
But, I'm good with 4 teams as long as every district has a minimum 7-8 teams. I don't like 4 teams going out of a district that has just 4-6 teams in it. A team should be required to win more district games than they lose or at least be .500 to get a playoff spot. I have seen some playoff teams only win one district game and actually seen a team go without winning a district game because they were in a district with just 4 teams.
I could care less what a teams overall record is because non-district games don't factor in and some teams schedule harder than others in non district. But IMO, a team should have at minimum a .500 record in district play to qualify.

I believe Nederland did not cross mid field until 3 minutes left in game and TC had all back ups  to the back ups in. The play calling was laughable…but the execution was worse. Maybe 3 first downs until the last 4 minutes of the game for Nederland. TC had a punt with about 9 minutes, our punt team just turned and went back. The punter probably could have run for 30 yards but he held the ball for about 5 seconds, then punted. The ball slowly rolled to about half yard line and was downed. Backup QB was put in…safety. Dogs got ball back and finally crossed mid field with about 3 minutes left. QB had a very nice run for TD. Maybe coaches didn’t want this week’s opponent to have good film on em. Can’t think of another reason for the “game plan”…and just to tidy up the message of lack of awareness, injured player on sideline wearing slippers and pajama pants with uniform, throwing the football around looks poor when a staff is under the microscope…Go Dogs, Good luck to the kids, hope for a injury free game!

Plenty of room at the airport then an Uber to the gate. 

Ah yes, fond memories of the stupid days of Nederland pouring black paint on the  quadrangle totem pole we used to have outside & PNG just as stupidly painting windows purple at their high school.  Stupid youth with costly pranks!

PNGs offensive line and running game is too much for Nederland. The stingy PNG defense wont give up points easily.  
As a Nederland fan this hurts to say but...
PNG 42
Nederland 21

Didn’t go this year but from watching the live feed and what I heard from PNG Band parents…both Drumlines and students were chanting stuff back n forth at the end and a lady who I suppose works for NISD got on the mic, said “This is supposed to be a camaraderie NOT a BATTLE” and shut it down!  Everyone was pretty confused cause for one it’s actually called MCM Drumline BATTLE and other than a bigger crowd and students being a little more rowdy…it was pretty much the same as last year and kids seemed to just be having fun …idk!  
I thought it looked pretty tame compared to the stuff we did back in the day….lol!

Worst weather I’ve ever sat through in the stands. Was drenched to my core. Shocked my iPhone made a comeback.
But a very entertaining game to watch.

With or without the MCM magic, Nederland will have a hard time containing #33 for PNG.  Ned’s problem has been the defense.  In that light, I don’t see them containing #22 for TC either.  But, one can’t dismiss PNG’s defense.  They are tough because they are well coached!  So, I see 1-2 over the next three weeks.

Nederland accepts this deal. Lol

There has to be someone on here that knows someone that is control of choosing a coach. Please tell them to find an outside consultant that knows football. Pay them to assess the decisions MB makes, or allows to be made during the game. Get 2 opinions, they will come back with an assessment of bad, bad, bad. I REALLY REALLY REALLY, hoped and wanted success for Coach Barrow. That has not been the case, he should not be the head coach of a big schools football program. There are players that could play college ball on this team. There were players that were there thay came here to Memorial that saw the writing on the wall. They and there parents got criticized. Whos got something to say now? If you see your kids got potential and is not going to get taught and developed in a successful program, why stay? MB has to go for Nederland to become a feared program in the area once again. MB is a great guy, but he is falling short of acceptable year in an year out. 

Todd Dodge will do it for a fee!

Dayton offered very little competition  against  a dominate  PNG team !    This team has all the tools to return to State again.   Good Luck!! ( never take the great coaching you have for granted or you  will regret it - ask Dayton fans)

Translate this into a setx sports dialogue. 😃

There’s so much growth in that area what was it 12-15 brand new neighborhoods getting built over there. I don’t see an issue with Crosby getting a jump now on wanting to build a new elementary and middle school to accommodate those kids. In reality kudos to them for thinking ahead…
 

Watched last night. #14 for Crosby is a dude! Kid was impressive. I was hoping PAM would look the part but I went away from the game thinking this season will most likely finish like last. 3rd round loss vs LV. Overall that is a successful season and one to be proud of.

Public Address should never ever do play by.
PA job is to summarize the play after the play. Give down and distance, acknowledge the players in the play (offense, defense) and announce any penalties that were called.
PA is never ever to voice their opinion of a play, call. Just announce the facts of the play.
PA is not a radio/video broadcast. Vastly different.

Good win Dogs!!! This win SHOULD get us into the playoffs.  Lots of football left to play though... 

I can say starting with Faircloth, hiring a HC from outside the 409 has worked out quite well for PNG.  The “good ole boy” thing tried to creep in again after Faircloth resigned but the decision to pay an outside consultant (Todd Dodge) to select the BEST candidate was $$ WELL spent!  I’ve heard many districts are going that direction to minimize or eliminate “good ole boy” bias from the School Board.  

You talking about Lang or Van Pelt those are the two thats coming to mind or is it farther back haha

It’s really hard for me to bash Monty Barrow. He was the offensive mind behind Coach Newman.  Is he a good head coach?  Something is not quite there yet.  He is surrounded by a good staff.  He’s got to find that button and press it to make every Nederland kid want run through a brick wall for him. 

sounds like "is he a coach" trying to be Uncle Rico or Al Bundy...bruh if all u got is your glory days to hang onto and your "coaching"...you are a sad individual...what are u contributing to society now and u can lie and someone can google u being unemployed, a writer, domino's manager. whatever u do, it aint coaching cause if you are good as u THINK u are...u wouldn't be on a hs message board trying to be someone u not. u would be working on the game plan for next Saturday against a power 5 team, but u not. maybe next friday, but u not cause a real head coach would fire u. i can say i'm a very successful paramedic for the past 27 years. i'm looked upon as a hero. most guys on here making 6 figures EASY...what are u doing??? have a seat. grown men talking here.

Don’t worry, Nederland will be a lot of people’s homecomings this year and next 😂
