was there any damage to AD stadium??

Add Hillcrest Elem and the Alternative Campus to the schools with no power. BTW, PNG fans, the Reservation looked fine when I drove by.

Almost all of Nederland ISD (and Nederland) has power as of this morning. The exception is Highland Park Elem and the houses around that school. Mine included of course >. The school district wants the teachers to come back to work on the 24th and the kids will come back on the 25th. Damage was minor at the schools. The stadium is fine with the exception of the back of the scoreboard (again). Check out the NISD website for updates. www.nederland.k12.tx.us

For what it's worth, Nederland did beat last years version of Waller which in my opinion is a better team than this year's version of Waller. This was in Kirby Bellows second start. Now he has more than 10 starts under his belt. I think it will be a good game if it gets played. These teams have had all very close games in the brief series between the teams. Yeah big house, you know all about last years Waller team...

The lastest update looks MUCH better for Ike. If it goes in that far south will we see much wind and rain??

That's a good point, Hooks has been here for 28 years and people know what to expect. I've always felt that the LCM community will have to give themselves, body AND mind to a coach before they will ever get one they feel is worth his salt. I'm not saying that Moody could have been that coach. By his actions last week, I have to feel he probably isn't. However, that program will never be where it needs to be if the parents and community don't relinquish some control. JMO That takes some time Gas. It goes with the saying that respect is earned not given. Not everyone was on board with Neumann in the beginning either, and some still aren't. But getting back to the playoffs in the first year went a long way to getting to that point. My point is that Moody will have to earn the respect of the players first, have some sucess and then the parents will follow.

Um what schedule are you looking at? We haven't played Kelly in probably 5 years at least. As far as Ned goes, if our running game kicks in and we can control the clock, the Defense will have the help they need. They were on the field way too long last year and against WOS.

Wow! I sure hope you are right. That would be great news. However, I am concerned. If we don't improve our rushing attack and learn to tackle then we are probably in for a repeat of last season. I am cautiously optimistic though that this team will improve quite a bit throughout the course of the season. The rushing game is the key IMO. The tackling was improved in the first half of the game, with a couple of exceptions, but the D was tired out by the second half especially the fourth quarter because they were on the field too much. We need to eat up more clock.

He had all last week ...they were open.You can't tell me they did not practice for wo-s. My .02. A friend of mine is a assistant for LCM, I talked to him at halftime of the NED/WOS game. They were there scouting, so they have had at least a 3 or 4 days!

True. I think the only think that has stopped MCM in the last 80 years was WWII and the post-war recovery!!

My thoughts: I agree with most of the analaysis. The offense needs to grind it out more to keep the D off the field so much. Our D played them well in the first half with a few exceptions. They were worn out in the second half and that made for more poor tackling. That #20 doesn't need much of a seam to be gone, he's small and fast. Some of those things should change once we get a couple of people back. The O line protected better for the most part. Still needs some work. Also, why were we trying to run around the ends?? They are too fast for that and we had some sucess running between the tackles. Should have thrown to Asa all night until they stopped us. He burned that corner most of the night.

Yeah, one flew over my house last time while I was mowing grass after the storm, scared the crud out of me!!

I wonder if they will fly the big Air Force transports in again??

It only took them three years..

I have reservations in Tyler already, from Saturday till next Sunday. I'll send the wife and kiddo up then, I might come up Sunday.

He must work with Charlie from Morris Moore.... :

see my post under the Ned-Wos thread. I walked out there on the field and other than around the benches, it will be fine. No rain the rest of the week will dry it out.

LOL, you worry about your own hose, not mine. Anyway, I walked out on the field today, and its damp, but not unplayable. I don't know how someone defines torn up, because it really wasn't all that bad, I mean there aren't any potholes that you might lose a player in or anything. If it stays dry the rest of the week the field will be just fine, unless of course, someone goes out there with a hose.

I don't think he is Nederland, either dayton or lumberton. Besides, scrimmages have no bering on the regular season.

The same can't be said for Nederland's field. It is a mess. I don't see it being in good shape for Friday night's game. We didn't play very well last year on LCM's messy field, so maybe that's what they were thinking. Or maybe it was just that LCM played really good. If you go by how both teams played the rest of the season I would say it was a little of both. If anyone sees me on the field Thursday night with a water hose, ITS YOUR IMAGINATION I REALLY WAS NOT THERE...

hopefully we can get Phase II by 2015.

better bring the water wings and the airboat!!

Here is the link to the bond issue. The only stadium items on it are turf and a new pressbox. Phase II will come in a few years and build a brand new stadium. Click on the link and then click on Master Plan. [Hidden Content]

You need to read up about the bond. Very little of the money is going to the stadium. They want to build three new schools and do major upgrades on the others. Thats where all the money is going.

Coop, can you get your hands on a complete breakdown of the bond? I haven't seen one yet.
