[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1373944" timestamp="1360805247"] I feel like if PNG can summon up enough nerve power to at least scrimmage PAM (both scrimmages in which were very physical) I would think a great program like their fellow Mid-County counterparts would at least play a pre-district game versus them. They used to play TJ when i was younger [b]and TJ was 5A[/b] so that excuse is out the window. ;) It would make for a great rivalry IMO, way better than PAM vs Central or PAM vs Ozen. [/quote] Those were great scrimmages. The 2009 scrimmage had the atmosphere of a game. Our stands full with the band there, the Memorial side mostly full... they may as have sold tickets. There will come a time when PN-G and Memorial will play each other in a real game. It just won't be this year.

If You could complete your gun collection.

Like I said, my favorite handgun to shoot is a revolver calibered in .357 Magnum. I'm just not a big fan of using a revolver for a concealed carry weapon because appropriate revolvers would only give me a five or six shots. I know the statistics say that it's highly unlikely I would ever have to pull my weapon and even less likely that I would actually have to discharge it in self defense, but if that moment ever comes, I would much rather be over-prepared than under-prepared. -

Ok, what are the differences in the models y'all have and what are the differences in situations that would cause you to switch weapons? Most of the folks I know who have a CHL and multiple weapons explicitly for concealed carry will stick with one of them 90% of the time and only go to one of the others in rare instances. When I eventually get my CHL and purchase a gun, I'll probably be sticking with that gun all the time until I have a job and can afford to purchase more on my own. I've shot the Glock 26 several times and like the feel of the Glocks more than Sig Sauers and S&W pistols (although my favorite handgun is a S&W 686 revolver, but that's too big to purchase for concealed carry purposes and only gives me six shots). The main reason I'm considering the Glock 27 is because of that little bit of extra power, but the drawback is that it holds one less bullet in the magazine than the 26. -

Any opinions on a good concealed carry gun? I'm looking at getting my CHL some time next year and was wondering what y'all might think. The Glock 26 and 27 have both been on my radar. Also, any knowledge on a Mosin Nagant M91/30? I've always had an interest in old military arms (including Russian ones) and that seems like a cheap, easy addition to the small collection sitting back home. -

[quote name="westend1" post="1368313" timestamp="1359584940"] It was traveling with one of those black panthers. [/quote] That's not that much of a myth. My dad had a run-in with a panther on Rayburn one time. WT Block did a series of articles about black panther sightings and maulings in Southeast Texas dating back to the late 1800s. Unless you're talking about the Quanel X kind. ;D [quote author=Uncle Si link=topic=107280.msg1368324#msg1368324 date=1359587707] No, that myth was debunked. Come to find out it was just that guy that rides his murray ridin' lawn mower around the streets of Fred, however I have speculated that by the looks of some Fred residents that at some point in history there was a bigfoot in the woodshed!!! [/quote] Don't tell these guys. [Hidden Content] Figures that a bunch of A&M grads are the ones looking for Bigfoot. ;D

I thought Bigfoot lived in Hardin County? That [i]Weird Texas [/i]book says so. It says he's even been spotted out there on the ghost road.

[quote name="badndn" post="1358658" timestamp="1356538061"] Smitty if you want facts as you put it, then you are wrong. It hasn't been all downhill record wise. 7-4 is a better winning percentage than 8-5...Fact! ;) [/quote] Also, we went deeper in the playoffs in Faircloth's second season than we did in his first. We also shouldn't forget that we were no less than second in district in Faircloth's first three seasons, or that we lost to Dayton in the first round last year because of a record-setting kicker you only see once in a lifetime. I said myself that I didn't think Faircloth could get on at Permian after a 2-8 season, but the 'declining record' argument is bogus. Even with a terrible season under his belt, Faircloth has a .609 record. That speaks volumes.

[quote name="smitty" post="1358628" timestamp="1356502294"] All I said was that it's been down hill for the Injun boys. The record reflects that as a fact. I give you what is; you give me what's hoped for! ;) [quote author=Itiswhatitis link=topic=107616.msg1358521#msg1358521 date=1356370294] [quote author=smitty link=topic=107616.msg1358328#msg1358328 date=1356265967] 11-1, 8-5, 7-4, 2-8. Like I said -- down hill. [quote author=badndn link=topic=107616.msg1357502#msg1357502 date=1356099076] I beg to differ Smitty. This past season was bad we will all agree, but his second season the team went three deep and gave a huge Manvel team all they could handle. Third year we lost on the toe of a once in a lifetime kicker. His playoff record is 3-3 (not bad). Also he has had good coaches on staff that have helped to mold solid programs at the Middle Schools, which I think we are starting to see payoff now at the JV and Freshman levels and most of us expect to see on the Varsity level beginning next season. [/quote] [/quote] Smitty...keep this post for your records and see what you're writing the next 4 years. [/quote] [/quote] More like you can't pick on Coach Spell at Nederland anymore and need a new target. ;)

PN-G'S Faircloth, Cary to coach USA National Team
PN-G bamatex replied to PNGFan's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
[quote name="GoDogs27" post="1357730" timestamp="1356135891"] Nothing bad to say about Faircloth, it just seems like its more of a who-you-know kind of thing instead of being based on performance. Which maybe it's not supposed to be based on performance or anything so more power to them. They should have no problem representing our area well. [/quote] It's debatable. Knowing Allman definitely helped Faircloth in 2011, but probably not in the sense that one is getting the job simply because he's friends with the other or a former protege of the other. Look at it from Allman's point of view. If I were in that position and getting ready to field a team that gets national attention, I would want a coach I'm familiar with who runs an offense and coaches in a style I'm comfortable with and brings plenty of good, diverse experience to the table. Faircloth fits that profile. Similarly, it helps him now in 2012 because he knows and has worked with the upcoming coach of the USA team, Aaron Brady. [quote] “Wearing the ‘USA’ logo across my chest and representing my country through the game of football will always be a highlight of my career,†Faircloth said.â€We had a great experience in 2011. We did some work with Aaron Brady at Gonzaga College High School last summer. We went up there and did a coaching clinic with them. He invited us to be part of this staff and we were glad to be a part of it again.†[/quote] -
Allen will bring upwards of 30,000 fans. The question is whether or not there will be enough fans for the other team plus enough Katy holdovers to break the record. If there is, as much as I hate to say it, so be it. If there isn't, it's a real testament to how seriously we take football at PN-G and in Southeast Texas generally to bring that many fans that far and set a record that's withstood so many trials over so many years. Whether or not the record is broken tomorrow, we all know where the standard is set for fan support in high school football. Scalp 'em.

PN-G'S Faircloth, Cary to coach USA National Team
PN-G bamatex replied to PNGFan's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
If I remember correctly (and it's been two years, so I may not), Westlake's Coach Allman, who was head coach at Odessa Permian while Coach Faircloth was offensive coordinator there, was the HC of the USA team two years ago and brought Faircloth along for the ride. It looks like Faircloth is bringing Coach Cary with him this time. If you ask me, Team USA is every bit as lucky to get them for this game as PN-G is to have them on staff. -
Will Faircloth apply for the job? I would be shocked if he didn't, and you can't blame him if he does. Will Faircloth be a finalist for the job and get an interview? I wouldn't bet against it. Will Faircloth get the job? I don't see how. I have immense respect for Coach Faircloth. I think he's a great coach and that he'd do extremely well with Permian if he were HC there. I'm fully aware of the fact that Permian was the last school he coached at before PN-G, that he's well like there and has many ties, I'm sure, left within the district and community. But it's hard to take one of the state's premiere HC jobs coming off a 2-8 season and going up against what will undoubtedly be an outstanding pool of coaching candidates.

[quote name="outanup" post="1356971" timestamp="1355960737"] [quote author=PN-G bamakid link=topic=107591.msg1356967#msg1356967 date=1355959120] I have it from someone very close to the freshman team that Morse has been selected as the starting QB on varsity next year and Walker will remain a starting CB. If that's true, and I see no reason to believe otherwise, I think Faircloth made a great decision and that both of them will serve very well in those positions. [/quote]Seriously.....The freshman has yet to take a varsity snap, hasnt even been through a high school offseason, or even competed against anyone for the job....Do you really believe this? No knock on either of them as Im sure both are more than capable. Surely you dont believe he has already been handed the job. [/quote] After watching Morse play, I believe he will do well at the varsity level. I have no doubt that he'll take some knocks early, but in the long run, he will make a fine quarterback for the PN-G Indians. As to whether or not I believe what I'm being told, the source this information came from is well placed and has yet to give me bad information. He may be wrong, but I would be surprised.

They scored 1 td, 48-6" PNG Freshman had to rally late to beat the Panther Freshman. They had some playmakers the night we faced them. [/quote] I believe Nederland faced them a few weeks earlier than we did. They may have just been starting to fire on all cylinders. I know several people who were at that game and they were saying Ozen was by far the best competition our Freshman Purple faced all year.

I'm probably going to upset a lot of people by saying this and I know she was very popular while in office, but Ann Richards did two things that really hurt Texas. The first was holding up the concealed handweapons permits bill, which George Bush later made up for by signing it into law. The second was the Robin Hood plan, which we've never quite gotten rid of. They've tweaked it, changed the name and tied a little tax break to it, but the basic system is still very much in operation, and it's hurting more school districts every year. Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

[quote name="swampdude" post="1353297" timestamp="1355195087"] [quote author=Txdragon link=topic=107288.msg1352866#msg1352866 date=1355150228] What I want to know is how is the Robin Hood law being administered. I see WOS sending several million dollars a year to Bridge City and WOS barely being able to afford anything. Then I see schools up in North Texas building college size stadiums. I see Friendswood with their own tractor trailor rig just to haul band instruments. The state of Texas needs to look anew at public school funding. Someone mentioned Jumbotrons, that is just to bring in better crowds, remember at most schools the football program is the primary revenue for the entire schools sports program. I can see a Jumbotron as an investment. I know WOS used to host at least one round of playoff football every now and then. Would field turf and a Jumbotron put them in the mix to make revenue again? Debatable I think. [/quote]There is no Robin Hood plan. Bridge City would love for WOCCISD to send us a million or two but that has not happened in many years. Check with your admin. or school board if you don't believe it. [/quote] Robin Hood is still very much alive and well in the state of Texas. [Hidden Content] Bridge City may not be getting EWL transfers, but that doesn't mean nobody is.
