Why are we talking about 2006 and 2007 ? WO-S and PN-G have great all time series records against Ned too, did not help them in 2011. Nederland has a good defense for the first time in a long time, what Central has done to us in the past will have no bearing on this game other than hopefully keeping our boys focused. I am sure Central played well last week, but LCM has not been as impressive in district as they were in pre district. Central lost to Livingston 35-0 who lost to Ned and lost to Ozen who lost to Vidor who lost to Ned. Not sure why you think you guys should be favored.. I expect another hard fought game, but the past won't impact this game and if you are expecting the Ned defense you have seen in the past then you are in for a surprise.

Jake94 #8 Ogrydziak the kicker was injured but what you don't point out is the linebacker Wood stepping up and kicking great along with playing a defensive position with lots of tackles and a sack. Couron was missed, we hope he recovers soon and will be ready for next weeks game. Overall the team did a great job defense and offense.

Wood did wonderful. It was a great team effort. I was just pointing out that we were missing players as well. Injuries are a big part of football games. -

Ned played without all district defensive end Koby Couron - I am sure you remember him from last week... Also Ned was without their starting kicker as well. Injuries have not been kind to the Dogs the last several years, so not much sympathy from me. Mays would have made a difference, but so would those two guys. Injuries are part of the game and depth is important. Glad we have it this year. Livingstons major yardage came on 81 yard run first play of game and 70 yard drive in garbage time down 21 with 5 mins left. The Dogs defense dominated this game and that's no "bull". -
Couron #92 an All-District DE and Ogrydziak #8 our kickoff guy, kicker, and xp guy did not play.. I am sure Livingston missed Mays, but we missed those guys too. Nederland's defensive scheme was awesome. Livingston got 81 yards on the first play of the game and a 70 yard drive in garbage time down by 21 with under 5 mins left to make their stats look much better. They did not get much between the first play and the last drive. Great job DOGS! That was the best game we have played all season on both sides of the ball in my opinion. Collins is probably extremely sore this morning. Our guys hit him hard all night.

After seeing both Dog fans....Whos the favorite when Vidor and the Lions play?

Wrap up and keep Collins in check and Vidor has a legit shot. Nederland did a decent job of running against their D. Should be a good game.

Did Devonte Mays play for Livingston tonight ? (#24)

Zac Taylor was the logical choice for Wilddog QB. With him out, I would like to see Colton Kimler run it if we use it at all.

This game should be a dandy. PN-G is the first passing team that we have faced and could give our secondary problems. Nederland's down linemen and LB's are very good and might be the best that PN-G has faced so far. PN-G is the best offense we have been up against so far in my opinion. Nederland should be able to move the ball on PN-G both on the ground and thru the air. It should be a great matchup. I think it will come down to special teams. Who knows what will happen?! Friday can't get here soon enough.

Everybody keeps talking about the offense and how great they did... but what about that amazing defense Nederland has. According to the newspaper and I quote "I wish we would have played good enough defense where we didn't have that situation at the end".....WOW! Well, maybe you ought to take a look at the offense....you would not have been put in that situation if they would have done what they were suppose to do. The defense is not getting the credit they deserve. The total yards in the game is 178 yards for Vidor, they have been averaging almost double that against teams, so that tells you right there that was the difference in the ballgame. The TV announcers even choose 2 offense players as players of the game over the defense. I guess the old saying is true.....offense gets all the glory and defense wins championships! So to the Nederland Defense.....with battling the adversity with losing two starters and stepping up and playing so well I will praise you if no one else will! WAY TO GO DEFENSE!

Not making excuses or anything, Nederland won that game fair and square but IMO i think it would've been a different game if #2 the leading rusher in 20-4A would've been in the game.
[/quote]
Research shows that 99% of the time when a sentence begins with "not to make excuses or anything" it ends with an excuse for a loss. I am certain that Ned's starting middle linebacker, best kick returner on the team, and fastest kid in our secondary would've impacted this game as well using your logic. Nederland was not Sharp on offense, defense played very well, and we made just enough plays to win. Always a good game when these two meet. -
Great game, Dogs! Never gave up. Chain Gang Defense was very impressive. I am so ready for that great little tailback at WO-S to graduate. What a tough runner he is at 5'5 175! Fast and strong. The game was good overall. Nederland controlled the 1st quarter, WO-S controlled the 2nd and 3rd quarters, and Nederland again looked strong in the 4th. Officiating was awful all night. Both teams got their share of bad calls. Nederland's D has improved, but 3rd downs and big plays are still a problem. Very impressed with the new WR'S at Ned, particularly Shaw and Kimler. Raines had an up and down night, but finished really well and looks to be much, much more comfy than last year. #24 ran well for Dogs and made a huge difference in 2nd half.. WHO is he? Loved the call at the end to go for 2 after the great TD catch by Shaw. The 2 point conversion was CLOSE. It is the type of play that has not gone our way the past several years so it was nice to get one. Great game Stangs and Dogs. I think both teams will get better and better throughout the year. Great football game!

Dogs played all four quarters. They looked a little stronger late. Shaw made some key catches, Raines took a beating but recovered. Who is #9 for Nederland, he can play?
Where was Justin Thomas for WOS?

Just got back from the game. Stupid traffic made me miss the 1st minute of the game. Here's my observations:
UT's tough defense didn't kick in until about halfway through the first half. I was impressed with the way LU took the ball to the basket, but UT's big guys, while not that big, were good defenders and had a lot of blocks.
LU was only 1-6 from behind the arc mostly due to UT not allowing LU any good looks. When LU did have a few open 3s, for some reason they passed them up and took some long jumpers instead. Texas has one of the best defenses in the nation so it's not surprising Lamar didn't shoot well, but I definitely was surprised by how well Lamar played defense.
Custer played a lot because Roc needed a big guy inside. He had a decent game but LU definitely needs a good inside player. Brazier had a few bright spots but he's not there yet. Brown probably needs another year under his belt before he'll be a factor. But LU was about even on the boards with UT and they even got some good offensive rebounds.
Mike James wasn't a factor in this game. He looked out of sync. Davis had a decent game but he's inconsistent. That probably sums up all the new guys. They should get better as the season progresses. With all the talk about the new guys, I was surprised how well the veterans played. Harris looks like a whole new player. Miles started the game strong. Harper had a solid game.
I thought the refs called a decent game. The Texas fans were complaining during the whole game about the refs. The alley-oop dunk by Davis (I think) really impressed the Texas fans.
On the way home on the radio UT's color announcer said that both Harris and Miles will cause a lot of problems in the SLC. I hope they are right. I'm sure UT has played better games and they are a young team, but Lamar hung tough most of the game so hopefully they'll build on this.

alley oop was lamb. he had a solid game -

There are more than a few frustrating things about the "spread" that we currently run in my opinion. A couple that stand out, again just my opinion..
1. The tempo is very slow. We look to the sidelines for 15-20 seconds before hiking the ball. We rarely vary from that and many times the defense is not set against us because they know they have all the time in the world to align. Quick plays and different tempos might soften up the defenses and catch them off guard at times.
2. We are in shotgun from the 1-yard line, which makes us need 5 or 6 yards instead of 1 yard. Is it that hard to get under center for 1 play and run a sneak with a 6-5 240 lb QB? I also saw a few times at the end of games where we are in shotgun to take a knee? Really? It seems a lot more can go wrong in shotgun, especially if just taking a knee.
I like the old offense better. What was wrong with having one of the top rushing attacks in the district, controlling the clock, and having an effective passing game when needed? It was that we were having trouble geting over the hump in the 3rd round and beyond in playoffs? Now making the playoffs has become the hump! I think we have fine coaches and am not bashing them in any way. I do, however, feel that if we are going to stick with the spread(which I think we will) that we need to tweak it some and get better at the tempo of it. I really like our coaches decisions to put in the "Wild Dog" and feel that in many games it was the difference. Hopefully, if we stay with the spread we will continue to evolve and get better at it. I am excited about all the underclassmen and looking forward to the next several years. We have plenty to be excited about.
These are all opinions of mine and I am by no means a coach(they know way more than I do), but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once! ;) -

Nederland stopped winning in my opinion when we switched to the spread offense. We went from getting 1st and 2nd in district year in and year out to trying to hang on for fourth place. I think we have talented coaches, I just don't think the spread has been good for us.

Ned never finished first during Neumann's tenure Jake......
[/quote]
No outright district champs, I agree. But, co-champs is TIED for 1st place. When Nederland did not run the spread we were constantly at the top of the district(i.e. 1st-3rd) and now we seem to struggle to get the 4th spot and have lost our starting QB for several games every season since we switched to the spread. Defense has also been on the field a lot because we have been unable to sustain drives in the spread, just my opinion. A 3 and out that lasts 25 seconds is not good rest time for a defense. I like the coaches and think we have some good minds, I just don't think the spread offense is a good fit for us. -

Line is now Lamar -8 and SMU is -6 vs. Portland St.

My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think Nederland played the Willis Wildkats in a playoff game once. I think it was around 2000-2002. Willis had a stud running back then. I think Nederland won the game, I can't remember. I do, however, remember Willis having some speed... especially that running back! Willis fans, who was he and am I right on when that was?

[quote name="SouthPaugh" post="910618" timestamp="1289926849"]
Willis fan here. The two teams sound pretty similar. Explosive offenses and defenses that are improving but have holes.
Willis is loaded in the junior class and at the skill positions. They are small on the offensive line and very young on the defensive line.
The offense is a spread (more Texas 09 and less Florida 09). The QB, Fred Nixon, spreads the ball around to several athletes, RB Autrey Golden, RB/WR Demarcus Kizzie, WR Quan West, WR Robert Johnson, WR Kevin Markham (all juniors).
The defense has had trouble with quick, fast athletes but has otherwise been solid. They are multiple(4-3 to 3-4 to 4-2-5). The defense has been vulnerable on the edges (see the Mag West Sykes kid's two games). Like I said, they have had trouble with quick, fast athletes which explains losses to Navasota, Mag. West, and Humble. The best athlete (athlete, not player) is Erin Reese who is a CB/S/LB.
As far as history and tradition, there is no comparison. PNG has more of that. Willis hadnt even won a playoff game since 2000. The fans travel well all things considered but dont expect competition there. The PNG band will blow away the Willis fans - well those of us who didnt got to a school with big time football teams. The problem for PNG is that Willis fans and players are mostly blind and naive with respect to the PNG tradition and won't be intimidated by that.
As for my prediction, high-scoring and close. I think it will come down to turnovers and red zone stops.

Welcome, SouthPaugh!
Sounds like a very balanced and unbiased write up. This could be an interesting and high scoring game in my opinion. PN-G is very big on the O-Line and fundamentally sound. They are a good football team, but not an overly fast team. The offense has been really tough to stop. They throw it well with Doty and he has several good WRs. Bertrand has been a solid RB all season and the O-Line is definitely their strength in my opinion. The defense was much maligned at the beginning of the season, but some scheme changes in the last several weeks have made them formidable again. Schexnider and Knox are the main standouts on defense if you ask me. I think both teams will struggle to stop the opposing offenses in this game and should make for a really fun game to watch. Be careful on the trip over.
Central vs Nederland Predictions.

This game seems identical to the 2008 game. nederland had a very high powered offense featuring Grogan, Bellows, and Selenga (either him or Brady). We started off not to hot in district. We just came off a loss to Livingston and a beat down to West Brook. Everyone picked us to lose. We held that high powered Bulldog team to their season low of 10 points while we scored 20. That was a running Central team that ran downhill right at them with no real big name backs with a QB that threw only a few times a game. I know that this Central team ended up going 4 rounds deep in the playoffs, but early inthe season and in district, they appeared to look mediocre at best, just like this Central team.
