I remember when Sparky Robinson made All State in 64.  I heard he had to ask Lamar for a scholarship.  Lamar said sure, just didn’t think you’d be interested in coming here.  Vidor players really don’t get respect.  LB Bo Brown in the 80’s.  Played at Lamar as a walk-on.  Started at MLB.  Was finally given a scholarship.  Bull poopy.

I think alot of it has to do with the coaches getting the boys some exposure to scouts.

First time going to Vidor's stadium this Friday. Taking the boy to watch, Any good tailgating spots or restaurants to try before the game Friday night? Our family isn't a real big cajun or mexican food fan..

Parking is tight, Vidor has some of the worst parking in the area for football which is odd considering they spen so many years as one of the biggest schools in the area. Only one worse in our district is Livingston.

I’m debating on going over to Vidor early to eat or not 🤦‍♀️

I'm going a bit early for parking purposes. Fridays are for concession stand food for me. Just hope next year ours gets back to normal although the funnel cakes last week were a nice surprise, said the diabetic who really shouldn't eat that stuff.😂

I can but I sound like I just ran a full marathon when I do. I have pulmonary fibrosis and I'm waiting to get a lung transplant. Spent most of last season in the hospital.

There is plenty of parking up front for people with disabilities and other medical issues.  Bring it to the attention of the people working the side entrances or even the front gate and they will get you a good spot.

If you look on the visitor side Friday night on that platform at the end of the bleachers, you'll probably notice an old bald guy sitting on his walker watching the game. I'll be the one with the oxygen hose in his nose.🤪

My eyes are good but not that good.  I'll be 6 hours away at the ranch getting ready to guide some hunters.

Last time I brought it to the attention of the side gate people, near the visitors entrance gate, that I just wanted to drop off someone by the gate who was in a wheelchair & then I would go park elsewhere, I was told by a not so pleasant women with a Vidor Police Officer standing next to her to "...move that car now, or I'll  have it moved for you."  I obliged & parked at the back of the parking field, having to push my friend's wife all the way from the car to the stands.  As I passed the two lovely individuals who had spoken to me earlier, they had their backs turned to me.  However, I could not resist yelling out, "I appreciate all the help officer, you too M'aam."  I still love the atmosphere at Vidor.  I am sure these two individuals are not representative of all of the people in Vidor.  I have some very good friends there.

I have an idea of the lady cop but not of who may have been working the gate with her.  Sorry they treated you and party that way.  If it happens again, call their bluff and stay there till that person is inside the gate.  I promise you they will not do anything!

I'm sorry to hear that, I don't understand why that officer wouldn't let you someone out right there with a wheelchair, she must of been on one. I would've been sarcastic too, trying to ask for help. I can't stand rude people like that. Glad you didn't let those few individuals make you think otherwise of Vidor. Anybody else would've gladly helped you out.

Damn you know me! I love karaoke! You’ve seen my wife’s video’s! Too bad you can’t plaster my office this year!

I figured you should do something you enjoy because not sure how much fun it'll be for Lumberton fans at the game.

    • Or a less lethal option would be to have law enforcement yell improper pronouns at them...they'd scatter like sheep. I still prefer your way, lol.
    • I ve seen this done in several other countries.  And in those countries it happens very lil because of the severity of the consequences.   I saw a video of other world leaders ask “why does America allow such destructiveness” when all the civil unrest was happening because a criminal/criminals were killed  by not following commands.     we have a great system in place but it’s been compromised and we could still learn from other countries.
    • I am out of VOTES, but I will give a BIG AMEN!!!!
    • You start opening fire and drop about 10 or 12 of these protesting morons it will break up pretty quick.    This ties in with killing the chicken killing dog.
    • This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.
