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.

2018 SOC was a very good team that could have won state.

I agree SOC has always had talent but you you can't give too much credit for recent success to coaching when there's blatant recruiting going on.

...not to mention a sordid past of grade changes that caused multiple state titles to be stripped in other sports. I'm sure they learned their lesson since then. The lesson of how not to get caught.
