I like that a bunch of people are picking us to finish first, but personally I do not see it.. I think we have a good team and will make the playoffs, but I think we will be in the 2nd or 3rd slot more than likely.

I don't care for ours(Nederland) all that much. When he does scores at halftime, many times he will say the team that is losing first. That is a huge pet peeve of mine for some reason. My favorite thru the years has been the guy from LC-M even though he is a little biased and I think announcers on the PA should be. I know Bill Dixon personally, but I have never heard him announce a game, but I bet he is great as well. Tip Durham at PN-G is very unbiased and monotone, but you can't help but like him.

Nederland Freshman A team is very talented. I think we will see a LOT of sophs on the varsity team next season.

So are you saying SIZE MATTERS?

Not to bash Lumberton as a team(since I have yet to see them), but what team in our district would NOT be 3-0 against the schedule Lumberton has played? The teams are a combined 0-10. We will see if Lumberton has turned the corner here in about 24 hours.

1. Dayton 2. Central 3. Nederland 4. LC-M 5. PN-G 6. Lumberton 7. Ozen 8. Vidor This has to be the toughest year to predict this district in the last 10 yrs. There is not a weak team in this group in my opinion.

How tall is Yao Ming? Is Cody Hussey Chinese? ???

Dayton by far

As much as you may want to embrace the role of the underdog in this matchup, I do not see PN-G as the underdog at all. Y'all are playing a team that has the same 1-2 record as you guys do and finished 1-9 last season. If you think you are the underdog in this game, I guess you will be the underdog EVERY week.

Actually, Nederland has a very good QB. The problem is that he is a young soph who is learning on the job. We'll have to archive this statement so you can look at it next year and the year after when he is tearing things up! I think he is already pretty good and will only get better the remainder of the season. From what I remember, Vidor's QB wasn't all that bad last season either. Vidor always gets up for Nederland. I'll take the Dogs, but not by as many as most are predicting. 5-10 point game in my opinion.

The Raider linebackers better keep THEIR eyes on the QB.

LOL ;D that works too!

I'll get it started... My team will win this week BECAUSE.. Dravantti Johnson, Chris Gutierrez, and Wareall Grogan will hit the Vidor ballcarriers hard all night and cause turnovers.

I am itching for some football. Nederland had a bye last week so it's been 11 days and counting since I have been to a game.. I am jonesing for some football! Let's get some discussion as to WHY your team will win this week vs. their opponent. My team will win vs. this week's opponent BECAUSE.....

Is there a reason that all the Nederland lists are leaving off Jake Askew? When I think of great Nederland WR'S, I always think of him in the top 3.

I would say "Congrats Raiders on proving most people wrong and living up to the hype of a FEW of your many fans."

That may be to pay for NEW metal detectors. lol Just food for thought.

LOL. I like that one tvc. I think the D is much improved, but so far more of a bend but don't break. I think this unit CAN be really dominant, but is not there yet.

I don't think it'll be a blowout, but I don't think Lumberton will win either.

So, what you are saying is.... Lumberton's opponents if you take out their game vs. the RAIDERS have been outscored by these margins... New Caney has been outscored 127-21 in 2 games Bridge City has been outscored 74-31 in 2 games Cleveland has been outscored 101-20 in 3 games For a grand total of 302-72. These three teams are making everyone look like state champs.

Actually, Micah had over 160 yards by himself against y'all and missed nearly a quarter in that game with a leg injury. Remember y'all "shut him down." ??? I always thought running for over 160 was a pretty good game for a back. Difference this season is that our D is much improved and there won't be a "2 minute miracle" at the end of the game.

If you think that our team last year was better than this year then YOU are in for a BIG surprise Friday night. In my opinion(and hopefully my Nederland buddies won't jump me for this), last year's team was the weakest we have had in a LONG time especially on defense. We had the best RB we have ever had and a solid O-line, but really not much else to speak of. Other than DJ we had very few impact players on D. The difference this season is we have talented wide receivers and a MUCH MUCH better defense than last season. There is no way that last season's team would be 3-0 right now. There is nothing at all similar about the '06 and '07 Bulldogs. They are two TOTALLY different teams in all aspects of the game.

If I were a wagering man, and I have been known to be... then I would wager that the scoreless streak will end in the first quarter Friday night.

I wonder if there is a team in 22-4A that would not be 3-0 vs. a group of teams that is a combined 0-10?
