SOHS to Nac 165 mi. (2 hrs 46 min.) PNG to Nac 140 miles (2 hrs 23 min.) Only seats 15.5K tho

Is SFA a possibility ? And because I don't hang out here why is SHSU not possible?

It was a great win. Great effort by the NDN's making plays under pressure. I'm amazed though that TH didn't just bomb the PNG secondary on that last drive. On their stalled drive in the 4th they decided to go to their run game and it killed their drive. Also that #3 WR was the real deal !

Very interesting thread. I went to PNG schools for 10 years and then moved after the 10th grade. Always regretted it. Was a grade above Jeff The Jet. Went to all the PNG state playoff games since then and all the PO games during the 70's run. Been quite a while since I visited this site and pullin for dem NDN's. Go Tribe, scalp 'em ! Even got my Canadian born wife to go last year who doesn't even understand football much (hockey, yes, but only rudimentary football knowledge ... but she went crazy screamin' for the Purple and White). Very impressed by the PNG passing game. And the HC has the pedigree!! They're obviously well coached. One last note and Indian fans listen to me. The PNG teams of the 1970's were almost always undersized. Heck, the starting center in the state playoff game against Plane weighed in at a whopping 175 (Clint Lough). Technique and heart goes a long way toward winning. Size is important all things being equal but athleticism and desire can trump size.

Btw ... here is my prediction from yesterday afternoon on the other PNG vs Brenham thread:  Re: PNG vs Brenham « Reply #366 on: November 20, 2009, 01:27:15 PM » Quote Modify Remove   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After reading all 25 pages of this thread I am, as usual, in the dark about a favorite for this game.  My heart is for PNG.  My brain says BHS. PNG will need to execute flawlessly, be very productive (especially in the passing game), and be very intense.  If they fill these attributes they have a good chance for a victory!

Congrats to the Indians!  I'm sure Coach Faircloth gained some wisdom here in this game.  I am reminded of the Indians of '74 and another new head coach and the beginning of a  playoff run.  That year the Indians lost a close game to Brazoswood ... eventual 4A state champion.  (4A was the only big school classification).
