Where are you getting that a turf field needs to be replaced after 10 years? Just wondering. I would think that if the field was maintained properly it would last longer than that.

This all goes back to his "why is football king" thread. It is king because it puts way more tails in seats than BB, and more people participate in football. As far as spring football goes, others have made the point. If you have a new coach or young players, or are changing up the system, the coach needs the time to evaluate the players. Did Ozen do spring football?

Don't know. That would be up to the consumers, not all of which are from Ned. Early voting has started get out and vote!

We'll take him. Isn't he a defensive minded coach?

Congrats to Ned on DCs in baseball and softball!

This thread is hearsay at best. If you don't know what that is look it up. It usually is not allowed in court, and it not helping anything here. Lets wait and see what is determined by the LCM admin. I will lock this thread if it continues.

Ahh the true reason for this thread...

Thanks ETBU!

I agree. I think this thread has gone just about as far as it Should go until the tape is reviewed and the LCM admins render a decsion.

Ok, I think we are talking about two different districts. PNGbandkid said something about roof leaks, as far as I know, the repairs in Nederland held after Rita and I don't think they had alot of damage after IKE. As far as the budget goes, I am not sure what it is but it is probably posted on the NISD site under Board meetings.

I would pay to see that!

The repairs had to be done. Would you rather had waited and see if we passed the bond? Also, brand new buildings will reduce the maintenance costs and stress on the crews. Its a lot easier to maintain a new building than try to patch together 50 year old buildings.

Let's not bash players or umpires plz

Is this from the current bond?

I'm sorry Dawgnut, can you ever forgive me???

Ok, this thread is locked and gone..

So what exactly is the point of this post?

Again, read the bond. It is on the NISD website. I provided the link further back in this thread.

You might need to get your facts straight before you spout off. (shakes head) nevermind, forgot who I was talking to. I haven't denied anything, just gave you facts about what happened instead of going off on misinformed tirades. So what that they did both bonds? I explained why Gulf Coast did the upgrades. So do you actually have a point or enjoy talking in circles? The bond is online , why don't you read it before you come on here and attack it, and don't say you did because I would hope that you wouldn't have come on here and made some of the statements that you did. Maybe man up and go to a meeting and ask hard questions , instead of coming on a message board and asking them.

I got your kool-aid, smitty. The upgrades at Central from Gulf Coast were due to a electrical FIRE, thats F I R E from a transformer burning up. The upgrades had to be done to accomodate the new transformer. BTW, LanWalton got a percentage of PNG's bond cost too, you might think about where your own taxes are going. I could care less what you were charged, maybe , heres a thought go to a Board meeting and ask your questions instead of trying to tie up the admin staff with your crap. Nevermind, that would require cohonas.

Yes, I know that this is phase 1 . Phase 2 will replace the high school and stadium, and maybe build another elementary. Smitty is prob from PNG, and doesn't want Ned to have a nicer stadium than them. Kinda obvious isn't it?

So smitty, what district do you live in?

I agree about the schools could never afford "to do it right". As for asking an extra referee to sit in the press box and be expected to see things that officials on the field can't . . . man I'm not real sure what kind of eagle-eyed official would qualify for that. Some of the AA and AAA stadiums with pressboxes only twenty rows up aren't too far away. What about the larger 4A and 5A schools with pressboxes where falcons nest? Even an extra official on sidelines would probably be too far away see something that is happening right in front of a field ref. Everyone seen the Central "fumble" photos yet? Those two or three photo frames are probably being shot from a pro camera shooting 4-6 frames a second. Way less than a 1/4 of a second between being down and a loose football. That is too much to close for any official on the spot to call, much less someone 100, 200 or 300 feet away. That's taking into consideration the ref even had the right angle to see the play. Just because a photog with a 200mm lens and a 12 meg camera had the angle doesn't mean anyone else was able to view it the same. My humble opinion. . . no high school replay for several reasons ( $, $, $, and more $ ) and the refs are doing the best they can and a fine job at that. See ya on the field OT , Hey VG, you doin all of the Ned games this year?

The study included renovations vs rebuilding. Go to the NISD website and look at: [Hidden Content]
