Nederland did not sit at home in 1999 playoffs? They was Co-district champs. They lost to eventual state champions Texas City in the quarterfinals.  
 

Nederland made the playoffs every year from 1996-2006 2007 season they didn’t then started a streak again.. 

Without digging too much I think since 1996 Nederland has not qualified for the playoffs you can count on 1 hand… 

 

Sorry you have a wrong year for 1999. PNG went to the state game and lost to Stephenville by a score of 28-18. Art Briles was the coach of Stephenville and his son Kendall was the QB for them.

I do not have the wrong year. Nederland was D1 that year. PNG was Div 2. There was 2 champions for 4A. Just like how it is to this day..

Good news Nederland is in the playoffs 

Bad news they are 1 of the worst 5A D2 teams to make the playoffs in the State

6 losses giving up an average of 39 a game and scoring an average of 15 

4 wins against teams with a combined 15-25 record and 6-22 in district 

Lake Creek probably anywhere from 42, 49, 56 points

Bulldogs probably 0, 7, 14 points once LC puts backups in

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?!

Doesn't bother me really. The better teams generally go further and making it to the 3rd or 4th round and beyond is something to be proud of. The 4 team playoffs let us watch more football too which I am always a fan of. Then there's the occasional upset from a 3rd or 4th seeded team. That's always exciting to see. I've thought about it both ways, and I truly don't see a big downside to it. Let 'em play. No harm, no foul.

Ok - So, that goes to my point. West Orange was better than a lot of teams that made the playoffs across the state that year. Would they have made it to state? Who knows. But, it wouldn’t have hurt to have West Orange in, and they might have shaken things up. 

Worth noting that West Orange beat eventual state finalist PN-G in district play in 1999.

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.

Hey, better than last year.  You never know what will happen.  That's why they play the game.  Could it be a butt wippen?  Heck yeah.  Go in there dogs and play loose.  Go in there as if you own the place.  You might wake up some old echoes.

There ya go…What they got to lose. Get #1 the ball however you can. He can be a difference maker.

    • The Middle East is not close and have never been close to a threat on a global (or most important US threat as Russia china) you think the government is more concerned with the Middle East over them? And if either two attacked,Israel wouldn’t be on anybody mind. the UK would and it’s not close the uk is our greatest ally even in the Middle East Uk is our greatest ally. Other than political talking points what have the state of Israel done for the US.   Side bar I started a thread awhile ago about Israel . Few responses.. why is a Christian nation so Eager to defined those who consider the phrases king Jesus, Christ is king offensive.    If we can protest Ukraine we should be able to protest the state of Israel. Take away religion and there the exact same.
    • It's 2 towns trying to get tickets all at the same time. We have a history of crashing sites..lol
    • The problem as well as that all of the social justice warriors, influencers, and instigators repeat these lies in the immediate days after the event, garnering outrage.  But when they're proven false they never go back and rescind their outrage-causing posts, they just move on to the next one.
    • I just find it really hard to believe that Trump will select a VP based on the votes they bring him.  He's going to want a Trumper that will affirm his every move and stoke his ego.  I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I doubt it.  And as you said, in these battle ground states a few tenths of a % point may be enough to swing the whole election.  Trump can't afford a VP who will cost him votes (Noem would cost him full points, not just tenths), but also needs a candidate that will bring in as many votes as possible.  So hopefully whichever Trump disciple he chooses has some political appeal to swing voters.
    • Good news for this district is for the next two seasons your bi district opposition shouldn’t be much of a challenge… Royal may be better next year but other than that the district is pretty rough… Very good chance that it’s a clean sweep though
