Although some of yall have shown to be whiny and sore losers. I would say PNG has a top 5 fanbase in the state. Would include Longview in that group also. Passionate fans for sure, very defensive though.

Most of the time it is all in fun. Aledo is a great program with a lot of winning history. PN-G has been winning for a good run lately without the D1 athletes most of the schools that have made it this far have. So being the under dog can put a chip on the shoulder of fans and players. It is just natural to defend what we love.

Having a discussion about something you disagree about isn't whining.  You can see it that way perhaps if you feel guilty of it I suppose. 

Discuss something you feel is wrong.

Other fanbases disagree, call you whiny, etc. 

Not sure if it's me or someone else you're referencing but I'm certainly not whiny about anything.  I have an opinion that doesn't line up with others.  That's where it ends.

That was more of a general comment having been on this forum for a couple of years. I was fan of PNG when Roschon was QB but since then comments have been made just changed my mind a bit.

Ok.

very small sample size on this board compared to the fanbase as a whole

Let me Comment on the fact that I now have 60 years of going to PNG Football under my belt.  I have seen the best, and the worst that the Indian Nation Fans have had to endure, and/or celebrate over these seasons.  Regardless, we have always had a solid fan base.  Whether we won 1 game, or multiple many win seasons the Indian Football team has had it's fans supporting them 100%.  Well all of the Indian Football Fans support them 100%, not all of the PNG Indian Purple Pride Band Fans, I refer to those who leave after halftime, but I digress.  There is no reason to doubt that either team in the PNG vs SOC game tomorrow has a chance to win.  THAT IS WHY THE GAME IS PLAYED!!!  After this game I will be overjoyed to go to the next round in the playoffs, or be just as overjoyed that my Indian Boys had an incredible season.  Indian Fans make a commitment to their football boys!!!  Everybody come on down from Dallas & pull for 'dem Bears, Everybody come on up from Mid-County & cheer on those Indian Boys.  I know I will be there, and all future games I am able until the good Lord calls me home.  I-N-D-I-A-N-S Scalp 'em Indians, Scalp 'em!!!

 

PNG HAS A SPECIAL SPIRIT, PASS IT ON!!!

Right. But all I can do is base my opinion on the interactions I've had. Good or bad.

I’m thrilled for this game. Think how many teams wait generations to be in a game like this. Always be faithful. 

[cal81]

The PN-G fan base holds the #1 record for attendance at a single game in the United States, at 49,953.

Since championship games are multi-game formats now, that record we hold will never be broken.

Times have changed since streaming didn't exist back then in the late 70's.  And smart phones, computers, and just a different generation.  Even when we packed out the entire side of the Astrodome in 1999, the total crowd was only 39, 000.  (30,000 PN-G fans and 9,000 Stephenville).

Our crowd with SOC in Cowboys Stadium in 2022 was only 32,000 as reported.

PN-G's fan base is still top 5 easy. 

We are also involved in the #1 rivalry game in America too. (Nederland in our district), according to Sports Illustrated.

I always thought PN-G owned Friday Night Lights, based on some of these numbers above, as well as the history of state championships to back it up.  

I think the glory years of 1974-1977 that includes a state championship in 1975, a state finalist in 1977 and two semi-finalists in 1974 and 1976, is about to be broken with a new dynasty forming.

2022: 13-3 State Finalist

2023: 15-1 State Champions

2024; 12-2 State Quarter-Finalist

2025: 13-0 so far...

If you’re talking about this SI page about top high school rivalries, it was a fan poll and not a SI journalist ranking MCM #1

Either way, MCM is of course one of the best.

Back in the 60s, '67 maybe, my folks recorded the radio play-by-play of the PNG - Ned game on a reel-to-reel tape recorder of some sort, and sent it to my older brother who was on a Navy destroyer in Viet Nam. He later said that it was a huge hit on board the ship.  I guess it must have been a close game that year.

Right, but y'all made gay and beastiality jokes. All I said is I hope y'all lose a game.

We make worse jokes than that when whiny outsiders aren’t lurking.
 

You aren't making the point you think you’re making.

Ppl tend to forget what coaching does.. SOC hasn't had a losing season since 08-09... they've always had talent, never got over that hump....

I don’t like that program any more than the next guy who values fair play, But they’ve definitely gotten over the hump before. Notably, in 2022 when they beat us with a stunning second half comeback.
