A Special Thanks to Vidor from PNG


Recommended Posts

In an impressive show of class Vidor painted "Tip" on their field to honor our longtime announcer Mr. Tip Durham.  I as well as all of us Indian fans were moved by the gesture and the heartfelt speech the Vidor announcer gave to honor Mr. Durham.  So thank you from the Indian Nation and also thank you for the best halftime of the 2010 football season!!

I too was impressed by the gesture from Vidor. TY to you guys for the kindness shown towards Tip and the Indian Nation. I was also impressed by the amount of folks who showed up for the homecomming game. For once the Indian fans were outnumbered. Vidor fans were standing everywere that there was an open space. Including out in the street. They were looking over the baseball field fence. Everywere. The topic about Vidor seating on the visitor was not the case last night there were security guards keeping people from crossing over to the other teams side. Once again thanks to the VISD for a unforgetable experience.

I am glad that Vidor did this to honor PNG's late announcer.  For the same reason I am proud that we still wear the RG helmet emblem on the right side of our helmet.  These are things our community does all of the time but usually only get the unwanted attention when an idiot does something stupid.  Every year we hear of these "awful" things folks experience when they come to our community.  We will continue to do what is honorable and right in our community as well as try to remember important figures in others.  Its just the right thing to do.  Thanks to you folks from PNG that recognize this.  God Bless

a very special thanks for the respect and hospitality that the vidor nation showed this past friday night. Was a very good game and as usual the halftime show was top notch as it is every other year when we attend for their homecoming, just wish my daughter would have been there to see it. I only have her for the homegames so she missed out on one hell of a halftme show.

Yes, great experience all around, especially since I found the shortcut to get in and out of the stadium without traffic issues (drove right in and right out without ever stoping and made it home in 20-25 minutes).

The painting on the 50 was very well done as well.

After his retirement I was told he will be painting fields around the area. He did Newton's field a few weeks ago I heard it was awesome looking. Its going to be tuff to fill his shoe's!
