Now that’s a well thought out, winning gameplan right there!

Freshmen/9th grade is usually a strong indicator...JV less so IMO as a lot of the better sophomore and junior players may be on varsity instead, especially if the varsity team isn't as talented...on paper, Nederland should be more talented this year, but they have to show it on the field...tough pre-district can have 2 effects, strengthen the team or destroy their confidence...I am not at all against the way they want to play the game, but they have to get bigger and more physical and nasty up front (both sides of the ball) to execute on that type of gameplan...these games are far from meaningless and will help set the tone for the remainder of the season....as always, best of luck to the Bulldogs!

lol...i thought coaches got 7 years these days to make an impact...

Geez, can anyone come up with a less lazy reason than “the coaching is bad”?…heres reality, Nederland is in a period where the talent pool is down a bit…this is no more Coach Rich’s fault than it was Coach Barrows…i told everyone when they were begging for Barrow to go that they could bring Vince Lombardi down from heaven and not have huge success…it is also true that Nederland is fighting the numbers game a bit now as they are falling in the lower enrollment levels of 5a…thats a real issue and it can be overcome but it will take time to build a program that can compete with lower numbers…they also need the talent…it sounds like the numbers of kids participating and the talent level should improve over the next couple of years…lets give Coach Rich the opportunity to see what they can do with that group before we rush to judgement…i have faith that things will be brighter in the coming seasons

thinking he could really fire some folks up

I am thinking about bringing spider in for some motivational speaking? wonder how to reach him and how much he costs?

Definitely prayers

I really don’t know why this is so hard to understand…reality is that it takes both, great players and coaches, but the best of coaches cannot win without players…Nick Saban even touched on this in an interview yesterday when talking about being selective about what NFL jobs candidates should consider

lol....if it makes you feel better, it's mutual (with love, of course)

I'll be honest, I am not too concerned about back-to-back state championships and you shouldn't be either this week...quit talking about Nederland! what's the fascination? I'm a Dog fan, yes, but I am just on here giving my honest opinion about what will happen this week...could I be wrong, sure I could

They may have been, but png doesn't have the same team they had last year either...they were much stronger on the back end of their D last season than they appear to be this year and from what I see, png had better team speed last year...png and Texas High does make for an interesting matchup as png does have size and can match up in the trenches..I just don't think they will be able to contain the skill players for TH, but that's why they play the games

Was their a penalty on Nederland to start OT?

Much better passer although not near as mobile

Refs lost control of this a while back

Man, Thomas is a stud!! Been saying that since his sophomore year, but dang!
