PN-G bamatex

Don't be too proud of yourselves. This poll shifted from a 60-40 PN-G lead to an 85-15 Nederland lead in the fifteen minutes it took me to board a flight to Houston, and at least a few thousand votes had already been cast prior to that. If that doesn't evoke suspicion, I don't know what does.

Prayers from Tuscaloosa.

That's true for the most part. Vidor and LC-M bring pretty good crowds though, and PN-G tickets for the home side almost always get scarce for the Central game. But none of them compare to MCM.

Maybe one of these days they'll bring back the endzone seats and just put them on the south side of the field.

[quote name="PNGFan" post="1068374" timestamp="1317234861"] We may have Refineries, but thanks to Robin Hood we give all the $$$$$$ back to the state. [/quote] Exactly. PN-G's budget is $6.5 Million less than Nederland's thanks to ~$14 Million in "equity transfers."

[quote name="dawgnut" post="1068099" timestamp="1317181122"] And we still have three days to go, I don't know if some folks are going to make it without blowing up. [/quote] But who's going to blow up first? The fans or the moderators? Or better yet, the site altogether?

[quote name="PNGFan" post="1068011" timestamp="1317174618"] From what I was told they are predicting 17,000 to 20,000 [/quote] I don't know about 20,000, but the largest crowd ever to see a game at Indian Stadium is 16,000, and that record was set in the old stadium. It wouldn't surprise me if it was broken in the new stadium, and MCM seems like the most likely game to do the job.

All 13,000 seats are sold.

[quote name="football04" post="1067233" timestamp="1317093493"] Maybe some of you png fans should read your own web sight and you will see what makes you so disliked. Check out the James Ware thread  that turns into a conversation about the kids from Nederland being suspended and the BS that squaw is spewing like she knows something and that this would never happen at png, yall are better than that and how Neumann only cares about winning but yall care about your kids to much for that. The whole thing makes me sick, and you say keep it classy!!!! [/quote] While I rarely agree with squaw's actions, bear in mind that she's a 70+ year old woman. That and you'll never find her saying she refuses to support Nederland in its other games or that she hopes they lose every game all season.

[quote name="GoDogs27" post="1066968" timestamp="1317076320"] I would like the png fans to list their excuses now. When nederland wins, what excuses are you going to give? We all know that you will all refuse to admit it when you get beat by a better Nederland team. So get them out of your system now because I will call every one of you out if you use excuses after the game... Most obnoxious people on earth=png fans.. I don't know why everyone says we are cool every week out of the year except this week. I hate everything about png and I hope they lose every week. Sorry, ill never show up at a png game in support if they are in the playoffs. Be ready for an 0-2 start purple people.. [/quote] You know, it's posts like these that make me lose faith in people. I don't know how many times I've said it, but I honestly believe that this is the fiercest rivalry of any school anywhere. PN-G elementary students are taught to hate black and gold and Nederland elementary students are taught to break purple crayons. Long-time friends and even family from both sides of the tracks constantly find themselves making fun of the rival schools and taking friendly shots at each other year round. At the game, the two sides are constantly trying to make more noise than the other and drown each other's fight songs out, sometimes even booing the opposing team or the other mascot. Even outside of the game, PN-G and Nederland students alike find themselves comparing their schools' accomplishments in any given field - not just sports. But beneath the constant one-upmanship and behind all of the fierce competition, there's a strong bond between these two communities. Most of the kids out on the field at MCM have grown up together, whether they be holding the football, an instrument or a pair of pom-poms. Heck, most of the people in the two crowds grew up together. Many people live in Nederland and go to church in Port Neches or Groves and vice versa. Many live in one community and work in another, and almost all interact with one another regularly. Things like Mid-County Kindness exemplify the strengths of the bond and the competitiveness is part of what keeps the schools - and the communities at large - performing so well. I know most people believe that and genuinely mean the jokes and the swipes in good fun; I joke about Nederland a lot too, maybe even a little too much, but I'm just doing it to rattle a few cages, just like most Nederland fans do it to ruffle a few feathers. And then I read posts like the one above, and I just have to sit back and wonder. Keep it in perspective, folks. Scalp 'em.

[/quote] First part of what page? As a portion of GDP, the debt hit its highest point under President Roosevelt (as displayed by the chart), but I don't see how that's relevant. If you're trying to say that Bush was the big spender and Congress's change in hands had nothing to do with it, keep in mind that Congress has the Power of the Purse. Also keep in mind that in January of 2008, the same President Bush issued the following executive order in an attempt to curb the exploding Congressional spending: [Hidden Content]

But now we have to make cuts AND raise Taxes to play the bill. And all this delaying is doing nothing to help. You keep saying that the top 1% does not wont to spend any money because they do not know what the goverment is going to do.. So Quite running around the bush, Raise the taxes and then they will know what to execpt, And they will deal with it , they all ways have. I can say this for the Rep. when they get controll they make crap happen, good or bad, the Dem cant agree and anything a they get nothing done. [/quote] The democrats stood back and let Bush do all of the spending? Are you sure about that? [IMG][Hidden Content]] This is a chart of US debt as a portion of GDP broken down by two-year congressional terms with presidential administrations overlayed at the top (this one also uses CBO numbers). Notice the upward jog in the last two terms (07-09 and 09-11)? Want to guess what the differentiating factor between those two terms and the six two-year terms before them is? I'll give you a hint: it has to do with which party controlled the two houses of Congress. And in case you're colorblind, the party that controlled Congress when spending exploded happens to have a Donkey as the party symbol and uses the color blue.

[quote name="True Blue" post="1065809" timestamp="1316964964"] On paper, President Bush added a total of $5.07 trillion to the debt and President Obama will add $1.44 trillion. However, approximately $1.14 of the latter figure is as a result of President Bush’s mismanagement of the economy. In other words, the real numbers should be $6.21 trillion of additional spending by President Bush and only $0.3 trillion by President Obama. If you add in the $126 billion in savings that President Obama will make on defense spending, he will only be responsible for about $0.17 trillion of new spending, about 4% of what President Bush was responsible for. As the total national debt is around $14.7 trillion, President Bush singlehandedly created almost half of it! [/quote] You know, it's hard to find a report that is just plain wrong, but you've found it. I pasted the first sentence of that paragraph into the Google search engine and this is where it came from: [Hidden Content] My guess is somebody saw the total debt that President Bush added during his entire presidency (or rather a fairly liberal estimate of it) and then saw how much President Obama added in [i]one year[/i], assumed that that amount was what he would add in his entire first term, and wrote up a blog about it without doublechecking. And we wonder why there's so much misinformation out there. If anything, this should prove the dangers of internet blogging. Folks, don't believe everything you read on the internet. Below, you will find a chart comprised of information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Congressional Budget Office, and the Department of the Treasury (all federal entities) that catalogues total US debt levels (both actual debt and debt as a portion of GDP) from 2000 to present. You will notice a steeper rate of increase in 2009 and 2010 than you will in previous years. [IMG][Hidden Content]] Based on the chart, you will notice that US total debt stood at slightly more than $10 Trillion at the end of 2008, up from slightly less than $6 Trillion at the end of 2000. That's the $4+ Trillion President Bush added in eight years. From the end of 2008 to the end of 2010, you'll notice a rise in the debt level from ~$10 Trillion to ~$13.75 Trillion. That accounts for two years of $1.5-$1.6 Trillion annual deficits under Obama (the largest deficits in US history) and the $787 Billion stimulus package. In other words, based on the actual data and not a poorly researched blog, President Obama has nearly tied President Bush's debt record in half the time.
