One of the amazing things about the Pirate is how he could consistently pull upsets of your school (as several schools can attest) and yet you still had to love him. His wit, his irreverence, and his willingness to discuss almost ANY topic made him a rare commodity in CFB and even sports in general. When we lose one that is TRULY one of a kind, you know you've really lost something.

Loved Mike Leach. He was hilarious, didn't care what anyone thought, and was a hell of a coach.

[Hidden Content] This game should break attendance record. I was at the state championship games last year & SOC had such a large turnout of supporters show up from the DFW area AT&T STADIUM had to open up the upper levels of seats on their side. With the large amount of supporters PNG will bring it will be jam packed both sides.

Region 3/4 are visitors for all the games!!

I have tried to explain a million times. It’s not arrogance, cockiness, or disrespect. It’s simply SWAG. I started out my school days on an election year. The teachers gave us a choice to be republican, democrat, or independent. I chose Independent simply because it allowed me to wear an I on my shirt all day, of course it was crayoned purple. It’s said we are taught Cherokee day 1. That’s actually a myth, we all knew it by heart before the alphabet. Most will never understand, I have even heard of us being called the “The Purple Cult”… once again, it’s just misunderstood. Ironically, our rivals understand it the best. That’s why you see all of mid county supporting our games. I grew up in the 80s, hearing about the 70s, in a time we were led by a great guy, just not a good coach. That all changed in 89. In came Danny Malone. And he brought that SWAG back, Burnett carried it on, Fairclothe carried the torch, now Joseph continues the tradition. So what started out as playing football at recess, dreaming of being an Indian, ends with a shot at a SC this Friday. We are no longer a powerhouse, we are not a place people want to move or transfer to, we are just PNG Indians. Not the biggest, fastest, or strongest. Just a team playing with heart and support. These kids are dogs, they come to play and don’t quit. Always the underdog, yet playing week 16. A proud community, wanting a SC and that attendance record back. So for all of you who don’t understand us, we don’t expect you too. But we will say this, come be part of the family Friday night. You won’t regret the experience. A big joke on this board is ATMOSPHERE…. Come be part of it Friday, and make history. You won’t regret it. No matter what team or color you represent or bleed, we are one big ole family this Friday. Peace…. love…..

For those that don’t get Bally with their TV package

I don't know about being on the wrong side. As I remember, we entered at the end zone and there were signs pointing fans in the right direction.

Hope u don't mind 🔒

Good luck to Aledo this weekend!

Don’t care about any attendance records, just the game. This will be a touch game for us. We’ll need to play mistake free ball control game. We need to kick them in the mouth from the kickoff. Love Adams, but he’ll need to stop slowing down at point of contact. Needs to run straight through the defender.

One thing I'm sure of. It's either gonna be a really close game that either team can win, or the Tigers get blown out. Very underwhelming performance by Silsbee in the last game of the Cypress tournament. We need both of our stars going off in the same game from now on. I think Harris only had 8 points in the Dickinson game. It'd also be nice if we could learn to take charges instead of letting teams drive right by us for easy layups at the rim. I think Lufkin takes this one, especially if the team that showed up against Harker Heights makes and appearance tonight. It'll be a blowout then. I'm a homer though, so I still voted for Silsbee in the poll.

Keep swinging your sword Pirate. R.I.P. 🙏🏾

SOC is pretty tough to beat in the playoffs lately. Granted this team is different than last year but they do have recent championship experience. SOC is going to be confident and ready to put on for the Triple D. I almost wish Aledo would play on Friday night so Dallas could be all day Saturday. You absolutely have to respect the playoff path PNG has made. I'm sure they will be ready and the whole tribe (is that what yall calls yalls fans?) will show up.

Love the fact that my T-Wolves moved up 3 spots after a great showing in Utah. Leap frogged Summer Creek.

The man was a National Treasure. RIP Pirate

People don’t realize that PNG has some really great coaches he’s probably scheming with this week to put PNG players in the best position to succeed. I can’t wait to see what they come up with. Hint: a lot of ideas flying around from Katy HS, who’s been there, done that. Should be a great game.

Allen’s band is around 850 kids. If just the band was a school, they would be 4aD1 in football.

I think the strength of SOC is the secondary. They are really good. NDNs on offense are gonna have to keep them honest to keep the running lanes open. I don’t think PNG can get behind the corners but RPOs and double moves will suffice. If PNG can get out front by 2 scores we got something!

If he puts together a good staff this might be a good hire down the line. We'll see. I hope he hires a staff with Texas ties that's well connected with alot of the top HS programs in the state.

I thought about copying and pasting (because I’m too dumb to be able to post a screen shot on here) but I think that’s against the rules. But @BlueOwl did a good job of summarizing the post succinctly.

Wait till PNG band plays “neck”, bet y’all didn’t know they play that and the chant that LSU does. Lol

That might have been what I" seen. But at the time was #2. And I" don't know about Williams but I" hope so. It sure would be a good on for him to come back and Elders. Miller and them came straight out with United. That's hard 😂

I'm glad you did. Badsanta makes mistakes too.

Lol. You ain’t lying it is a long walk.

We shall see Saturday night if Duncanville gets man handled like some suggest. I think it will be another good game. Both have a good defense and good offense. North Shore has better coaching though….

Man what a great day of football that’s gonna be . Get in early for first game , head to second deck , grab front row seats on the 50 , stay all day !! My son and I have done that several times , leave early Thursday , catch 2nd and 3rd game 3A Div 1 and 4A Div 2 , then all day Friday and all day Saturday! !

Do you see them asking any other team that has “The Indians” as their mascot to change their names? Haven’t heard them complaining about Santa Fe are Cleveland.

Scalp'em, Destroy'em. Excuse us! We ain't right!

The record for the Friday night slot since the UIL went to one site is 32,314 Lake Travis-Waco Midway from 2011 that will surely fall as I expect South Oak Cliff to have 30k fans alone...the wildcard is how many show up on the PN-G side

Bankman-Fried arrested in the Bahamas. Let’s see which politicians step up and give back the millions he handed out!

I got Silsbee winning a close one. Lufkin is solid and we have some guys that can play. I think the difference is Silsbee has played a much tougher schedule. Lufkin has key wins over then #19 6A College Park and 12-1 Longview. Wylie East has been our most competitive game to this point. Silsbee will be the best team Lufkin has played this year. While Silsbee has already played someone at least one team a lot better than Lufkin in B.United. And several other really good teams. Both teams should benefit from playing each other. Should be a fun game to watch. #1 for Silsbee is a baller. And Austin Brown for Lufkin can be fun to watch when he heats up.

Thx for posting that article. After reading it I figured that's what the SOC kids were talking about after the Argyle game when they kept saying they wanted to make history.

Stories like this are more common, sad, but true.

I've said this before but: Moody Center is damn nice man. 😎

Rice (the player) just saved UT I believe with a dagger basket.

One shouldn't make fun of one's literacy when they themselves use incorrect grammar.

These games get bet on in Vegas. Vegas pros handicap these games. I don't condone that and I don't bet but I do look to get the truth and a good look at what's expected by experts. The real experts. This game opened up at PNG minus 3. Word is it might be PNG minus 7.5 by kickoff. Im not saying go bet or condoning that, but not everybody thinks this is gonna be a cakewalk for SOC. Just saying. Take it for what it's worth.

Updated for Dec. 12

You can’t wear Black Friday night though, SOC is doing a black out!

West Hardin won.......

and PN-G.

Who cares !! Why is wos trying to take the spotlight from png this week ?

I agree. That would be my luck move my kids from a school and they go to the state championship.

Someone please find WOS a new head coach. These people need to win asap

When was your first one?

They’re all over SETXSPORTS FORUM TOO. You know who you are.

Idiots being idiots. Charge them with the appropriate crime. Why would anyone 100% intent on taking Congress over and overturning the election not come in armed ready for resistance? It took them almost two years to come up with this and why anyone would have any confidence in this DOJ is beyond me. They had to have a win for the upcoming election. If Trump was out of the picture this never would have taken place. Not to worry, if things don't change we'll see the real deal and it won't look anything like this cluster we saw on Jan 6.

Gotta love the kid at the end with the girl cutting cartwheels.
