Great article!  This game will be the best game of the season.  It may very well come down to who has the ball last.  Both teams are great and Sept 28 can't come fast enough!

GO PIRATES!!

I dont think it will, I  think it comes down to least crucial turnovers!

I agree with you on that.  That plays a huge factor no matter what game during the season you are playing.  ;)

Nice article but do believe Coach Mathews is blowing sunshine at Nederland. Trying to get the DOGS a little more confidence so as not to focus on Vidor. Well it is not going to work as the DOGS are solely focused on going to The Bone-yard and leaving with a win that will be hard earned for sure. Vidor is definitely not the underdog in this one as they are 3-0 and Nederland is 2-1.

I think Coach Mathews quotes in the article are a fine example of good sportsmanship.....giving credit where credit is due.

I don't think Mathews is blowing no smoke, he has a great deal of respect for Nederlands football program.

I think you may be confusing gamesmanship for sportsmanship. Mathews is a smart coach who has been around enough to play head games. Believe me we appreciate all the praise but if you think that that is all it is you are not reading between the lines. I mean no disrespect at all. Coach Mathews is a great coach. Ne may need to pass a little more but we shall see.

I wont be losing my bet in this one. NED wins.  ;)

Mr. Garrity you sure sound confident:

A. Are you giving up the same 10 points with that prediction as some of the other puppy fans (I want some)?

B. Are you referee in this game?

Actually,almost as many Pirate fans are picking Vidor by double digits as Ned fans are. I believe YOU picked Vidor by 10 and a score of 31/21 so why are you asking Buddy for 10 points now? I don't think the margin on this game will be double digits no matter who wins it. I also think it will be fairly low scoring.

Vidor by double digits: Robanadana, dustoff33, vidor96pirates, jmoore..

Nederland by double digits:thedogs1987, buddy Garrity, tdavis9, bulldog1984,mr. Happy, trocket, dmeast11111, png proud, dogs1988, godogs27.

I think it will be a close and low scoring game. I agree with a previous post saying that a big key in this game will be what happens the handful of times that Vidor throws it. I will take the Dogs 17/14.

Jeff has always had nothing but respect for all of vidors opponents.  I think he was giving credit where credit is due.  [b]Nederland is the defending champs and they return more starters then anyone else in the district.
[/quote][/b]

Exactly, Nederland is defending district 20-4A champs until proven otherwise, therefore they go into this game as the clear favorite. As for Mathews trying to get into Nederlands head...maybe, but he says the same types of things in the locker room to his players. With Mathews what you see is what you get.

    • Tim Erickson from Orangefield….
    • Lucky for Orangefield there’s only 3 games max to play.    Someone said they had a pitcher or 2 throw 90’s but I don’t know that for a fact.  Rumors.   it appears that Orangefield will see some faster pitchers this round. Generally speaking I haven’t been too impressed with Orangefield opponents pitching. Only pitcher so far that was fast (92 mph) was vs Woodville in first game & Orangefield got several runs off of him.    Looking for a good series with no injuries for both teams. 
    • Apologies if this is a stupid question, but why would they just not renew his contract for the 24/25 school year if he had multiple write-ups? I know teachers and paraprofessionals don't get their contract renewed if their performance is bad enough - are coaches' contract situations different?
    • “We have incredible evidence that it’s gain-of-function research again being done in US laboratories.” “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐮 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐗, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐗 — 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞.”
    • It’s very difficult to fire an educator.  It’s not difficult to reassign them and put them in a situation where they’re likely to leave on their own.  I’m not sure of the legality of exposing an employee’s work records, but it seems likely it’s not allowed if nothing criminal took place.
