PN-G bamatex

Went to Houston on a charter. Took us 2 1/2 hours with no stops.

It's all what you make of it, I'm just saying that they're going to have a long ride there. Whatever amount of time it normally takes to get to Austin from Dayton, I promise you it's longer on a bus. Busses normally take twice as long to get anywhere as normal cars.

Happy 35th Birthday.

Still takes a while. It took us (football team, Indianettes, band, cheerleaders, Indian Spirit, film crew, Geronimo Crew... in the end, we had a convoy of about seven or so busses) two hours to get to Reliant by charter bus. How many times did ya'll stop? Weak bladder ??? In 2-1/2 hours we will be getting ready to unload at LBJ. We didn't stop at all on the Reliant trip. We don't stop unless a bus breaks down (learned that the hard way).

I agree. ;D

It may not be a bad drive for the fans, but trust me, it will be for the students. It takes an hour for me to get to Houston when one of my parents or I are driving, but on a bus, it typically takes 2-2 1/2 hours.

I thought Dayton was playing this game in Austin? I believe that is the case, playing @ LBJ. Oh, then it's the other way around. That sucks for Dayton's kids.

All I know about LBJ is that it's a very prideful school and that those kids are going to have some LONG bus rides to and from Dayton.

All of them. My presence is required. ;D

Again, I ask you to show where I called the name? I can pinpoint many where those on your side have called names. Your side? Your hero Bandkid even says I'm a moderate. Who else is on "my side" other than Maybe Bullets? I need to start a new thread. Who are the moderates? I did?

Voice inflection? You think thats a positive for her? You guys are worse off than I thought. Man, you have lost all credibility with me. It's going to take a miracle for you to win back your credibility for the liberals on this forum. He wasn't holding that as a reason to vote for her. He was just saying that she's a good speech giver. So is our current President. That doesn't mean that we're going to vote for him. Now I see what the problem is: You guys are thinking with the wrong head. It's funny how you resort to insults so quickly. Sarah Palin is a conservative, she effectively ran her state, and she was a fresh voice on the political scene, something that was a major issue in this election. That sounds like a thought from the head on my shoulders to me.

It's starting, and, providing that Lumberton has sustained success, it will grow, but for now, the fan bases of PN-G and Nederland remain the largest in the area and there's no sign of that changing in the near future.

In '07, Lumberton barely took up half of our visitor's stands. In '08, they barely took up three quarters of our visitor's stands. They've got a good crowd going - one that's growing and one that's better than most - but it is nowhere near the size of PN-G's or Nederland's at this time.

I doubt very seriously that they are "worried" about it. When you are setting off on a new program, sometimes it is good to change thinks up a bit to help the feeling of the new start. I think this is a fairly common occurrence and certainly not limited to LC-M. I don't think they are going to miss any two-a-days because of a new helmet logo. Isn't PN-G going to change their scheme up a bit? Maybe their new coach isn't worried about winning. 8) Good luck to LC-M, their new coach and their new helmet logo. We're basically doing a PN-G version of TCU's helmet. It'll look good in the end, but the only thing I wish they would do differently is make the facemask white instead of black. I think it'd look better that way while simultaneously staying true to our school colors. The black looks sharp though, when I went there the baseball team and basketball team wore purple black and silver, Stone changed that for baseball. I don't think we should have any secondary colors in our uniforms. Just purple and white, except for the Indian head.

Do you actually know for a fact that Sarah Palin couldn't find Kosovo on a map or are you inferring that?

yes and they were utterly tasteless in their attacks on her for having that baby. I don't agree with Obama on most of the issues but to me his kids are off limits. He's got two beautiful girls and they should be left alone. That wasn't the case with Palin's kids. And no, SFA-- her keeping the baby as well as welcoming her oldest daughter does not put her family values down the drain. It shows the high famliy values that she has. Oh, so now it's ok because she's who she is. Where were the warm fuzzies and high family values at when we were referring to children born out of wedlock were called bastards, or the kids who don't choose their parents and maybe couldn't afford to go to college were called simpletons (just in masses of course)... I honestly don't recall anything being said about Trig...but, I didn't stay glued to the t.v. either. Things that make you go.... ummmm........ Well, not really because it seems that the kids who make mistakes who come from broken/poorer families are not referred to as having high family values...just the ones whose parents can afford to help them with their child and help them get through school in order to make a better life for the both of them. Ahhh....I see! When people make mistakes, they deal with the consequences. For the mistakes I believe you're referring to, if a person actually deals with the consequences and keeps the child rather than have the child pay with its life for the mistakes of that person, that person has family values, in my opinion, regardless of that person's parents' take on the situation or that person's income bracket. I don't care what income bracket a person is in, if a person makes a mistake of which a child is a direct result, that child doesn't deserve to pay with its life for its parents' mistakes. And regardless of the word's frequent, inappropriate use, "bastard" is defined as the child of unmarried parents. It was reduced to a cuss word because calling a person the child of unmarried parents used to be an insult; however, that does not change its definition. All baddog was doing was pointing that out.

The Beaumont coaches have a struggle no matter what. I honestly believe that Central's run at the playoffs last year was a lucky streak, and what I mean by that is that they had the right combination of players and coaching, but such a combination is rare in a district like BISD. The fact that they had that combination last year was a stroke of good luck, a rare one at that. Every now and then, Ozen, Central, and Westbrook will have one or two consecutive playoff runs, but, because of the structure of the district, won't be able to sustain long term results. Holds true for MC to. We've Had more success at central than both MC teams with the exception of PNG's 89 and 95 runs. MC has just as many drouts. BISD does good IMO ;D That's not necessarily true with Nederland. It is true with PN-G because, as I stated earlier, PN-G has been in the same boat as Central and Ozen because, like Central and Ozen, PN-G had good kids and good coaches, but virtually no program. Nederland has had all of those components for quite some time now. My only point here is that it's harder to build a program in a district like BISD than it is in a district like PN-GISD or NISD. The fact that PN-G has lacked a good program for the last several years is virtually irrelevant to this argument because PN-G didn't have a program as a direct result of the actions of its coaches, not the difficulty associated with building a program in a district like PN-GISD, of which there is much less because of the structure of our district. We could have had a program, we just didn't (for absolutely no reason, I might add). BISD doesn't really have a district-wide program, but in their case, it's understandable because of the difficulty involved in building a program in a district like BISD. It's probably better to look at it comparatively. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] Look at 2002-Present (I do this because 2002 was the first year that PN-G, Nederland, Central, and Ozen were in the same district). School Name: Total Playoff Runs/Total Playoff Games/Average Number of Playoff Games per Playoff Run (2002-Present) Central: 5/12/2.4 Ozen: 3/5/1.67 Nederland: 6/13/2.17 Port Neches-Groves: 3/6/2 School Name: 2002 Win Percentage (End of Season)/2008 Win Percentage (End of Season) [Net Gain/Loss] Central: .5702/.5694 [-.08] Ozen: .5926/.5304 [-.622] Nederland: .5802/.5827 [+.025] Port Neches-Groves: .6189/.6189 [+0] Based on the playoff information, the schools would be ranked as follows: 1. Nederland 2. Central 3. Port Neches-Groves 4. Ozen Based on the net gains/losses in each school's win percentage, the schools would be ranked as follows: 1. Nederland 2. Port Neches-Groves 3. Central 4. Ozen As we can see, the district with the predesignated high school and the program is the best of the mentioned four. OK I see your argument now. Good point, respect kid. Thanks.

If that's going to be our new district line-up, we're going to have one tough district.

Yup.

I'm more concerned about what this does to the waters of the gulf than our coaches. *knock on wood*

Happy Independence Day!

You hope. Maybe it is. Heard that just before the turf got laid a couple of Nederland jerseys got put in the ground in some "key" spots. And I'm sure you hear a lot of things. That doesn't make them true. And frankly, that story is very unlikely.
