Bum Phillips Bowl/Mid County Madness


Recommended Posts

I can assure you that PNG will never play PAM as long as BF is head coach. The issue was a couple of years ago where the PNG JV smoked their JV by like 40, then they played again a few weeks later and PAM brought a bunch of players down from Varsity to put it on the Indians and I'm pretty sure that's the reason they do not even scrimmage anymore. So it's not that they are scared or wouldn't play them, it's the way PAM head coach handled that situation. It's ashame they can't play with the talent both have, but you just don't do that just to show them up.

It's strange. I know several PN-G and Memorial fans personally and are reliable contacts for years and have not once heard this.

I will bring it up but there also is a lot of people not confused a bit. Honestly, and I am not saying this because I work here, I understand the two different names of the trophy and the MCM part.

Up until 1997 or 98 or 99, this game was only known as Nederland vs. Port Neches-Groves. The Mid County Madness added some flare and I love it. The same will be said about the trophy. It is only done to enhance Mid County Madness.

I agree the game should continue to be known as Mid-County Madness with the winner getting the Bum Phillips Trophy.  I love the idea of the trophy in Coach Philips name to keep his legacy alive in these two great communities for years to come, but the game is MID COUNTY MADNESS and always will be. See MCM is not just about football. It transcends all extra curricular activities between these two schools.

Total respect for Bum Phillips, but like "Mid County Madness."

 

I agree, that is the point I was trying to make.  I never got to meet Bum, but I wished I had made the trip back to MC when he was here the last time.  My family and his have history, but I haven't met Wade and didn't get to meet Bum unfortunately.

never heard about that lol. I can only take your word for it. I remember going watch a  scrimmage between PNG and Dayton in 99. A brawl broke out when Daytons offensive line singled out Chris Golke and kept dog piling him after every play, it was quite amusing to myself and my buddy who made the trip to Dayton to watch the scrimmage. I think that was the last time we have scrimmaged them.

    • "Baytown Lee for a qb"? What does "for a qb" mean?
    • I can fire 5-6 rounds with a semi auto AR per second. That would empty a 30 round magazine in about 6 seconds. With an approximately (slow) 3 seconds to reload, that is about 180 rounds per minute…. with an over the counter semiautomatic rifle. According to Wikipedia the shooting last for 10 minutes. That is time to fire almost 2,000 in semiautomatic.  Would a true bump stock ban have prevented Vegas?  Would a lawful suppressor (with a $200 tax stamp) have done more selective damage before people started knowing what was happening? Remember that is a legal item.  With a semiautomatic rifle the Miami nightclub shooter killed 49 victims as opposed to 60 in Vegas. I guess 49 is  more acceptable than 60…..
    • Baytown Lee for a qb I heard… 
    • Shall not be infringed was not even an issue in this case.  The Supreme Court allowed and in fact didn’t even debate the ban on machine guns as being lawful.   The Supreme Court only looked at the law passed by Congress, accepted it as law and looked to see if bump stocks fit the legal definition as passed by Congress and signed by the president.  The easy answer was no, it did not and the ATF was making up their own definition which is unconstitutional.  In another comment you stated that bump stocks serve “no valuable purpose”. I agree but do we throw out the Constitution? We don’t need neo nazis  or klan members rhetoric either but are willing to pick and choose who gets free speech? I support the Supreme Court decision on an item that I don’t want even if you gave me one. I support it because it follows statutory law and the Constitution.  Do you suggest that the Supreme Court ignore the Constitution for political or dislike purposes? 
    • How would cracking down on crime prevented have what happened in Vegas?   The law of the land is no automatic weapons. If you get caught with a switch on your Glock, it’s a problem.  But you can legally modify your AR to get the same results? It’s a loophole that shouldn’t be there legally, and gun owners should boycott.    I love my AR. I believe everybody should get one. But there’s a big difference between a 30 round mag that’s fired semi-automatically, with at least the possibility of aiming at particular targets…. And a bump stop equipped AR that quite simply can’t be aimed. When the left argues that an AR serves no purpose, I disagree. But when some 2A nut is arguing that their fully automatic AR (by why of a bumpstock which renders the weapon useless in regards to accurate fire) is legal, I have to disagree, too.
