I really enjoyed doing this. But I may be back playing again next season. It was different watching these games with no stress over my picks. Thanks to all that played.

He's here teaching us all about how to coach.

I don’t share the sentiment that you have any bias or favor one region over the next. I thought Bally Sports coverage went way over board on the SOC and Duncanville hype. They didn’t spend that time on PNG or GPNS. It seemed that’s pretty much all they cared about. From the pregame segments, to the guys/gals perched above the field. It was a love fest. But that comes from the producers, I would guess.

But you’re okay with a photo of a little girl with a Death Row shirt on? Gangster Rap is more of danger to our youth than an Indian Mascot. I know Matt you have to be politically correct and too afraid to upset them. So you have to pick on a little Indian Mascot who doesn’t sing about putting a bullet in someone’s head or saying sexual and degrading things against women. I get it. This country has come so screwed up. You’d be called a racist if you said anything about rap.

Yep, you are "entitled to your opinion" as is, everyone else to be "entitled to their opinion about your opinion". If you want open your mouth, you can do so and alienate any fan base you choose. There are many who would like to enjoy a sport without the introduction of political narratives. PNG doesnt need to do anything other, "keep being a treasure to HS Football in SETX".

That's about the answer I expect from you. How many weeks has Amador been the starting QB? 12-13?? Had the kid got hurt last week, then one can use that as an excuse.

Dville out coaching NS. Ok, that's my one troll post of the day.

Nothing says football the best than to have three women host the halftime show. TV stays on mute until Craig gets back on. smh

2023 PNG Commanders . Because we need to please everyones feelings

I agree people are entitled to have an opinion about my opinion as well

Well, Coach Ward used an Italian GIF on his Twitter account describing his defense. I’m Italian American and I’m offended. True Italians don’t like people showing Cosa Nostra. So,he’s no better.

Agree, the crowds weren’t as big this it seems like. That use to be the excuse I heard that bigger crowds showed up in Dallas. Need a rotation for sure. Btw, I wasn’t impressed with Jerry’s world seating.

Pretty much. I still think it should be on a 3 year rotation with NRG and Alamodome.

Cancel your Bally Sports subscription today or sometime before the free trial ends. Saw a reminder courtesy of @RETIREDFAN1

Lol, join the crowd !!

I still have some "king" status here so I am not worried. lol

Nederland could use some transfers!!! Especially of a coach!!! 🤣

👀🍿🍿

I understand you are retired and this whole "computer" thing must be very daunting for you. Just take a peek at your Casio watch and see it's 2022. You are having debates we guys that have been on this site 15 years. People like you come and go. Your just an Old fart in the wind. Go away!

I agree. Each realignment one of the three venues (AT&T, NRG, Alamo) hosts those two years. Then rotate every realignment to the other venue. I like rotating each year to one of the three. Every three years each venue gets to host. Or, just simply let the two coaches in each game decide where they want to play.

But you support having state at AT&T stadium that is owned by Jerry Jones and gets money from the games? I guess it’s cherry picking?

Me personally I wouldn't put my child in it...but not my child so much like with PNG"s mascot my opinion doesnt matter than much in that regard.

Great season INDIANS. Tough battle. My take on the game was a great first half. OC adjusted to what was given to them. Momentum is always the key. By the 3rd quarter you guys were wearing down. Nguin , I can tell was exhausted. Needed some help in the running department. The interception and losing the QB was a killer. Thanks for representing the GT and all the crazy people. Bally sports called the game as if it were a Dallas network.

Even I know Matt is a member of the Slot-T Mafia😄

We say crazy people with upmost sense of affection. The DFW bias thing is amusing to me, but I'll entertain it...what examples of DFW bias would you think that I've personally shown? I'm genuinely curious

I’m sure if PNG was in DFW this wouldn’t be an issue tho. 😉

I joined the chop. Lol

That’s unfortunate. He will make a great player wherever he goes. I thought he was no-racial until yesterday. Not that it matters, the kid is a great player regardless of race.

Thats sad the only school imo that had the best band and drill team i seen all week. Great school spirit

You do realize this is the information age right? Being a freshman position coach on a program that wins three state championships is a great accomplishment. You don't have to do all that gaslighting. You're retired now, don't you have some PPP loan schemes to check on.

To be fair that kid yall are talking about, his dad is the defensive coordinator at TCU. They moved and then he wanted his kid at Aledo instead of FWISD.

After 15 weeks as the starting QB and taking them to state title game, he's a QB and you ride him and not state that he's just a WR playing QB after you lose a game.

Bro this is not even a conversation you’re trolling…Kay is by far the best coach in the state of Texas

Nederland has a Toby on staff already.

Another classic Leach story via Lincoln Riley in his second year as a Tech assistant (by the way, if USC had won last week, half of the CFB playoffs’ head coaches would have been Leach disciples): The story is about a phone conversation Riley overheard between Leach and somebody: “He picked it up and said, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ And then he listened for a second and asked, ‘Where ya calling from?’ He kept talking on the phone and I eventually sort of tuned out. Now, a short phone conversation for Coach Leach is an hour. So he was talking about this and that, and I was kind of hunkered down working on my own stuff. At some point, the call got dropped. They must have lost reception. Coach said, “Can you hear me? Are you there?” Then he closed his old-school flip phone, swung it back open and redialed. He said, ‘Hey, sorry I lost you.’ And then they resumed their conversation for another 30 minutes or so before Coach finally hung up. After he was done, we started talking and I said, ‘Hey Coach, who was that on the phone?’ And he said, ‘Oh, they had the wrong number.'” LEGEND.

Understood. Do the coaches in Vidor just not know as much as the fans? or do they intentionally lose? I have seen scenarios where the fans are the true experts of the community while the coaches who see the players in practice everyday and during workouts for the entire year generally do not know much.

My niece went to Silsbee and played sports, but lived in Kountze. Her mom was a teacher at Silsbee.

My kid doesn't live in district either 😜. I can tell you that there are some kids from kountze

Yep. Your favorite team for the moment!

You know what’s funnier. Joe Biden who is our current Fraudulent President who tweets regularly on Twitter has 28.4 million followers. President Donald Trump who hasn’t tweeted anything in 2 years still has 87.7 million followers on Twitter. 😂

Hopefully they can get a booster to put some money down. Silsbee already got a Qb transfer lol

Off the top of my head, roughly 9 or 10 on defense, and 9 or 10 on offense, but note that my post said "players", not "starters". Depends on how one defines "starters", since there were various starters due to injuries. As an example, #16 and #6, starting Sr linebackers, missed several games due to injuries, and #26 a Jr, and #43 a Soph, "started" against Dayton, Texas City, Willow Ridge and maybe 1 or 2 more games. Others that came up and played included RB #15, and WR #88, both Sophs if I'm not mistaken, and also #42 on defense. Others "started" on special teams, and were back-ups or otherwise saw playing time. The speedy WRs, #18, #10, #84, will be hard to replace, player for player. But the offense may have a slightly different look, presuming #19 becomes starting QB. Adams will be more of dual threat than Crippen was (with all due respect to Crippen); and he was a pretty good QB in middle school and part of his Soph season before he was moved up to varsity. Next season will be interesting.

I agree that PNG did a good job early on and had the upper hand, but coaching is also about making adjustments and SOC was able to do that so as much as PNG was able to outscheme SOC early, SOC made adjustments

Welcome to the board lol

Congratulations PNG! Great run, nothing to be ashamed of. You made to the Championship game against a team loaded with D1 talent and you came away with respect! I hope Joseph sticks around and you guys start making consistent deep runs and actually win another championship!

Port Neches next year has to mix it up because now everyone has footage of how to beat them. I just hope it is not like the season after the 1999 state championship appearance when they went 5-5

Yes they didn't but then Port Neches became very predictable with how they ran the plays. Then PN has to learn field awareness like you don't take a sack in the end zone. Then the snap over the head he should have tried to kick it instead of giving 2 points easy to them.

You sure call alot of good or great teams poorly coached. I guess the ONLY team not poorly coached is North Shore??

Chester 41 High Island 15

That's very true but you will also see that he was not that guy in the beginning. He worked extremely hard to get to that point but this team was the true definition of a "TEAM." Remember it's facts over feelings...
