    Agreed Jake. A hurried AJ is not good for the NDNs. That and some semblance of a defense!

    I will say if PNG somehow pulls this out, many of you Big Ned fans are going to look like chumps!

    There would be plenty of crow, that's for sure. I don't think there would be any shortage of volunteers to dish it up either :-). It would be interesting, yet difficult, to look up the history and see how many times that Nederland or PNG has been heavily favored and what the results were in this years. I wonder how many big upsets there have been?
  2. I don't see this one being a big blowout either.. These two teams typically bring out the best in each other. Should be lots of fun. Both sets of fans can argue until blue in the face, but it is evident that PNG had the historical edge with Nederland enjoying the more recent success on the series. Neither of those have much impact on Friday night. If the Indians can keep the Dogs off the QB, then it will be a good game. If they can't, I don't think it will be much of a game.

    Y'all do have an impressive football history and do have the upper hand overall. I will give you that. The pendulum has swung though since Neumann has been boss. I don't even think switching to leather helmets could help y'all this week though...

    Neumann was coach in 2009? PN-G 23-7...and we had a new coach.

    That win gave your new coach a 100% winning percentage against the Dogs. The next year it dropped to 50%, last year it dropped to 33%, and this year it will drop to 25%!! Impressive resume. One outta four ain't bad!

    So let me get this straight.

    Faircloth interviewed for one school in the town where his wife's family lives that's only about a hundred miles from his hometown (where his family still lives), and all of the sudden he must be looking to get away from PN-G at all costs because there's no possible way he could win in the coming years with the supposed lack of talent (keyword being supposed) on a JV team that's 5-1 and a Freshman Purple team that's 6-0. Or, in other words, Faircloth has no commitment to PN-G because there's supposedly little talent rising through the ranks, despite the fact that he's spent four years here building a program from top to bottom (by that, I don't just mean high school) that is already bearing fruit at the lower levels.

    Right. ::)

    Faircloth is going to be at PN-G for the foreseeable future. He's done a fine job so far, the community wants him there and he's working in some of the finest facilities in the state in front of the largest high school fanbase in the state, arguably the nation. The only way I see Faircloth leaving is if he can get on as HC at an already prominent program such as Lake Travis or Southlake Carrol, and that's realistically not going to happen until he has strung together some deep playoff runs.

    Some good points. I don't think he is going anywhere right now either. But, it should be noted that the freshman and JV teams were very good last year too and it does not always equate to Varsity success.
  5. Jack- it was a strange game. Nederland dominated the first quarter. Jumped out to a 14/0 lead very quick. The Dogs threw an INT late in 1q that gave the Bears a short field. The Dogs got conservative for the rest of the half and most of 3q and the Bears defense stepped up. Sezar broke a big run to tie it at 14/14. Ned took lead at end of 3rd 21/14. Then had a pick 6 to go up 28/14. Then intercepted again and scored a few plays later for a 35/14 lead. LCM scored their final touchdown with 11 seconds left.. The Dogs looked awesome in the first and fourth quarters, but lethargic in the 2nd and 3rd. The INT at end of 1q really turned the game around for the Bears. It was looking like it might be a rout before that play, but the Bears took the momentum and rolled with it for the next two quarters. It was a pretty good ball game with several momentum changes throughout. Both Hopkins and Sezer were very impressive. LCM has a classy team and some good athletes. I like how they do things over there.
  6. I'm not sure if this game will be a blowout or not, but I remember from last season that the front 4 of Nederland was all over the PNG QB all night long. That was against a better PNG offensive line than they have this year and they had a solid running game last season. The Nederland D Line and overall team defense is even better than last season. I don't think the Indians will find success running the football and I am not sure the offensive line will be able to give AJ time to do much. PNG has struggled on defense this year and I don't see them scoring more than 20 against Ned. I will take Nederland 31-14.
  7. I think this is gonna be a really good game. Bears are tough at home, no doubt, and do have Cezar who is a home run hitter at RB. We did hold Livingston to 7 points last week and I believe they scored a bunch on LCM defense the week before. I think the defense will hold the Bears under 20 points. If the Dogs can score in the 20's then I think we should win. My guess is Nederland 27 LCM 17.

    P.S.  Does LCM still have the entertaining announcer? I used to love listening to that guy. Touchdowwwwwwwwwwwwwn Bearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs! Hope we dont hear that a lot tomorrow night, but that guy is/was the best announcer in the district!

    P Rats and NDNs don't play for several weeks! And PNG will fair better against the Vidor O then the Ned O. For what that's worth??

    Don't be so sure of that. The vidor offense did outperform Ned last night and we were missing j Moore.

    How is 13 outperforming 20? There were no defensive scores in this game.

    Now its no where near the capacity of the Ned PNG rivalry but it is somewhat of a rivalry. Kinda like the UT and AM rivalry compared to the UT Baylor rivalry. Its not the same but still a rivalry.

    AGREE! Atmosphere tonight was ELECTRIC! Great game by both teams. I am still not sure why we don't let our kicker kick touchbacks, but we got away with it.. Good luck the rest of the way, Pirates.
