I wasn't going to comment but after reading some of these before and after game comment s I'm going to weigh in.        Big Ned won the game and good luck going forward.  You don't hear anyone from  Dayton crying or complaining about the game. I think Ned is ranked 23rd and Dayton 60ish in the State and all of the Big boys had Ned pre-picked with a relative easy win.   ( only one fan in the pickems choose Dayton- one)  So to get on here  and say Ned was flat ,uninspired and let Dayton get a 20 point lead in the first quarter is a little disingenuous not  to give Dayton their accolades. The real reason for the anomaly - you got  punched in the face and underestimated  a team that was  alot better than you thought. Let's be honest saying things like we finally finished a game - ?when Dayton had 50 yards of penalties ( and this was all on Dayton being stupid) in their last two drives-odds on Dayton probably would of won.                 After being in the cellar for years Dayton is climbing out and getting more formidable every  season so don't sleep on us.

Doesn't Dayton have like 12 sophomore's and a couple freshman starting on varsity, they will be fine, I think they are just getting started

Nederland has never beat Huntsville It will probably be about 42-14 Huntsville. I see Nederland’s OL and defense struggling, especially LB’ers and secondary. Montgomery probably about 49-7 over Dayton. PNG should win and Texas City might

We beat Huntsville back in 1961 on the way to a state final appearance just haven't beat them recently

Good to know. Probably the last really good team the Bulldogs have had. Had a chance to beat Dumas that day 6-0 victory for the Demons

That’s wrong in so many ways. You hate everything about all your teams. Why do you torture yourself? They can never live up to your expectations.

The 2012 team would have had a shot at a state final if the 5ad1/5ad2 split was how it is now

 I like my team’s well. I simply post what I see is happening in a game. I don’t care if you like it or not it’s my opinion. I will post when they look good and when they play bad and IMO if they are any good and if they have much  talent They were a very good team in 1961, their last trip to a state championship game. They were as good as Dumas, but unfortunately threw and interception in the end zone as they were going for the lead and lost 6-0. A very well played championship game

That's quite a stretch to go from losing 38-6 to Georgetown in the 4th round to could have reached the 6th round.

I think he was referring to the fact that Nederland had to go D1 in 2012 …Georgetown had considerably higher enrollment than Nederland, in fact the D2 finalists that year had higher enrollment than Nederland…not saying they would have won, but I watched that game and Nederland could have certainly competed
