Well I can relate and also take umbrage with those who continue to bash me and try to taint my legacy, even though it’s been years since I left this state. Signed, Mac Browne

I can't wait the 24 hrs to start this topic. Both teams coming off the bye week prior to starting district. WOS may be in a trap if they let the ranking go to their heads. And with the Bulldogs having just played Carthage U, I know Coach Crumedy spent the last week coaching up the young Dawgs. They'll be ready for us. Will we be prepared? Disciplined? Healthy? If so there's a good chance we get the W. Avoiding another 4th place finish starts here. Actually there... home field advantage is gone for the season. Only Tarkington and Shepherd at home. All 3 must wins games on the road. Mustang Nation needs to travel well and show the kids the support they deserve. Let's go meet em. WOS 112%

Right. So if the numbers were better when Mathews was there, and they were running the old misdirection ground plays as they are now, then the need for excitement from a newly revamped offense might not be the key. I don't think a little freshness would hurt, but I don't thinks it's the only answer. For most years, Vidor has only had so many tools in the toolbox - that hasn't changed much year in and year out. The key to a successful program is 3 fold: A good coach that can get kids & community to buy-in (possibly the most important tenet) Players with enough athleticism to be able to learn & execute whatever scheme the coach comes up with Parents & community to back the coach & his program Changing out the offensive scheme wouldn't hurt, but it's honestly not what's holding Vidor back.

This should be nail biter. I got Splendora by a TD. Coach J 12-0 record of one score games comes to an end.

I will take the Cats, 28-7. Defense has been really stingy and the offense gets better weekly, as you would hope and expect with a new coach, new offense, and young QB. All of the above appear to be getting not only better, but more confident each week. On a related note, over/under on the amount of times the opponent is called "Coldsprings" in F.L. McClain Stadium on Friday night?

It's not just Crosby. Other threads are being warned as well. I admit some things have fallen through the cracks sometimes and over the last few years things have been laxed as far as policing the site when it comes to coach bashing. That's on us mods and admins. When the boss man gets phone calls, texts or emails about it (I have received some as well) then we have to do what we are supposed to do. Uphold the sites rules and policies. Trust me, it's nothing personal or are we picking and choosing. BTW, a few posters did get banned in the past for coach bashing, including some involved with the Faircloth deal.

Again you have your opinion and I have mine. Anyone can create hypothetical situations to justify a position as you have demonstrated. Facts are that PNG consistently moved to ball in all four quarters despite Huntsville efforts to rotate fresh D linemen in to stop the run. PNG offense had more 3rd down conversions, had more red zone penetrations and basically controlled more of the clock. Huntsville is a legit team had some great plays that kept them in the game including a fake punt that caught PNG off guard and the lone touch down pass in the first half however IMO the Best Team Won.

It looked like Huntsville’s intent was to make this a 2nd half game. They didn’t show much in the 1st half which I think was by design. The game should have been 7-7 at the half, but the Hornets self destructed in the last 2 minutes of the half. The roughing the passer penalty took away the interception and PNG scored a TD. Then, the freshman RB fumbles the kickoff. The Huntsville defense stopped PNG out of FG range, but the LB decided to rip the helmet off the ball carrier, which setup the free FG. The 2nd half was indeed a different look on offense. Huntsville had some success and had a chance to win late as they made it to the red zone in a 3 point game. Then more mistakes. Two straight false starts (The band wasn’t even playing) and then a pass off the receivers hands into the PNG DB’s stomach for the Int. Still, the Hornets get the ball back again and the FG attempt for the tie hits the upright. So, yes, I guess it depends on your perspective. The Hornets know they could have won the game. PNG found a way to win, and Huntsville found a way to lose. Other than that, pretty even teams. And whatever PNG put in #15’s lunch pail on Friday, that was probably the difference in the game. There, now I can move on to next week.

😂😂😂😂 im sorry this is just funny. Impersonating a guy and misspell his own name lol they wonder why criminals get caught lol

Alot of unhappy people in vidor it seems Just a down year guys, dont jump ship. Itll get rolling. It isnt going to be great every year. All programs have ups and downs, unless your carthage, north shore, duncanville, or the teams in 9-4AD1 lol got some good athletes coming through the system Cant blame the offensive scheme tho. The freshman group is running the same thing and is absolutely dominating teams. Just keep supporting the kids, and program, and let the cards fall how they may.

Jimmies and Joes I believe and there is a lot of truth to that, but if you take away a guy who knows where to put them to succeed and if you put someone who has a scheme better suited for a different style of football then you pile up L’s.

PNG will put a 60 burger…

[Hidden Content] Coverage area teams in this week's rankings: 6A #2 North Shore #5 Atascocita #8 Summer Creek 5A DI #9 Galveston Ball #10 Lufkin 5A DII #1 Port Neches-Groves #10 Montgomery 4A DII #10 West Orange-Stark 3A DI #6 Palestine Westwood 3A DII #9 Woodville

Kingwood has a tall lanky QB with an average arm thats likes to chunk the ball all night long. Since Dayton has an below average secondary he cashed in. CROSBY has better athletes than Dayton - I can see Coogs shutting the passing game down and easily winning.

I love Happy Hour too 😁

Sir, I will have you know that as a proud WISD alum I hold the state record for most homecoming games played! Both season and career!! 😁

No social media back in the day either, its a different animal now.

Interesting. Be ready dogs. Don't go into this game without being focused. These kids have nothing to lose.

I've been to a few Nederland / Vidor games in my time, and they were all great games. Jeff Mathews was a competitor, motivator and good leader for the Vidor community. When the stands are full every Friday night, you're doing a lot of things right.

it's not that hard to express displeasure without breaking our rules. y'all had guys calling him an idiot, suggesting he had money on the game, talking about how terrible he is, etc. That's not gonna fly on here.

Hippy, I overlooked your post on dealing with the OT tax at W2 time before I went off on my math tangent. It’s hard to read every post.

Considering lcm beat them by 5 TDs I think yall should easily scorch them as well.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if we see a ton of wildcat formation in this one with the #2s for each team.

Correct. I sure miss my old friend.

I’m going to call you Friday night when that OL steamrolls that PAM DL😂

That was something that WosGrad did extra I believe.

All the tough games on the road this year for yall. We've been through that before unfortunately.

updated through week 6

Ca. 1968 or '69, I was on the sideline and said something about the other team's luck after they covered our fumble, and Coach Mo O'Brien very quickly spun around to face me and said, "you make your own luck, son". (If you're of PNG lineage then you likely know who Coach O'Brien was.) Anyway, since everyone has their own opinions, then I have mine also, and when the first half ended I said out loud that PNG should win this going away, regardless of the outstanding play of Huntsville's D line. In the 2nd half, PNG appeared almost intent to give the game away, (with the help of the refs), but they won it anyway. This is my last comment on this one. I hope that Huntsville will bounce right back against Montgomery and MLC.

When was the last time Warren had any consistency in winning in any sport?

Yeah some of that goes on too i believe. I would love to run the offense that vanderbuilt was running. Alot of options with that style of play. i still think the slot t can have a great passing game attached to it, but would involve having teams spread out (similar to what laporte runs, not sure if you want to call that a slot t or more so a west coast style scheme)

End of 1st half was Huntsville taking a pistol...aiming it at their big toe and firing....those types of things in the margins are the difference in close games...and the difference between good and great teams

I think BH wins in the trenches and puts enough stops in the secondary to win. The question I have is if BH can control the big play capability of PAM? 35-28 BH I have a feeling Buddy is going to call me crying 😁

I don’t think coaching is the problem Vidor football teams have always played hard and honestly had a few good seasons because of their hard work. Realistically in the history of Vidor pirate football you can probably count on one hand where they had much talent. Year in and year out they are not very talented. In fact most years they are overachievers due to their hard work

This administration must have thought that this major cleanup could be solved with wind and solar power. Gonna have to rely on those nasty old fossil fuels. How can anybody with a conscience vote for these sorry excuses for human beings?

Ehh they were step for step with them. They never looked back and put their self in position to make a play on the ball. Thats happened a quite a few times.

There’s a lot of posts coming from a couple of posters (mostly one) in this thread that are going to have to stop or we’re going to be short some Crosby posters. It’s not that difficult to express displeasure without devolving to insults. Thanks for your help on this. Just a reminder: 18 ) The bashing of any particular coach, player, referee, etc will not be tolerated. This includes issues involving their personal lives, coaching/playing style or performance, past experiences, etc.

Also, any continued bashing of a coach, current or past, will result in a ban from this site. @Mr. Thornton Melon

I always thought Jeff last name was Mathews, not Matthews.

It could definitely turn into a full time gig.

I haven't seen anyone talk about neither team personally 🤣

PNG was clearly the better team in the match up with Huntsville . PNG defense had Huntsville RB's number and Huntsville O was successful with a few limit plays . Chatagnier ran like a HS Larry Zonka . Shout out to PNG O line and entire D fence. Lets Go PNG [Hidden Content]

It appears that they may do better than normal in this trash can of a district.. but trust me.. they lost to Warren. They’re not a good team.

I didn't know Warren fans could criticize any program due to their own futility 🤷🏿‍♂️

The Rebels had a superior passing game but i think West Hardin had the running game on their side #1 and #24 kept the Oilers in the game all in all it was a good game for both teams

I had several coaches (from 3 different teams) tell me that watched film of the Hardin/OF game that said that OF is not 59 points better than Hardin. Was just one of those games that snowballed on Hardin. It was 21-0 halfway thru 1st Q due to botched opening kickoff and two fumbles on first two possessions. But like Parcells always said, you are what your record and score says you are. I admit, I was very surprised with the score from last night. I did pick Anahuac to win and certainly did not have them being shutout to the tune of 38-0. Contrary to your comment about the score should not be surprising, I strongly disagree and from the looks of the pickems and comments, others do too. Maybe you are just smarter than everyone. lol

For the record, it was not my intention to insult Orangefield at all and it seems like y’all took it that way. Manning kid might be the real deal, I dont know. I watched for a half though and I couldn’t tell you which one he was. To correct my previous post and maybe make my point more clear: Anahuac has the athletes to compete with anybody in the district. Some of the best athletes in the district play for Anahuac, IN MY OPINION. They have the players to not lose to Orangefield 38-0 and I think most people can agree

True but SP has never been able to beat bad teams.

Beating bad teams doesn’t make you good.
