[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1275527" timestamp="1348012157"] Clear Springs is not as good as last year, LaPorte had no business losing to them like that regardless of all the injuries they had in that game. [/quote] Yet they still lost to em.

[/quote]Great memory Tex, they don't know this team yet, I know how good they can be but I have been realistic by say: I won't know for sure until district starts. This team could be as good as last years team without the Bull but more speed. There's only one part of this team that I'm waiting to see if it comes around, if it does, I'll take our chance against all of the teams in 20-4A. [/quote] What is missing?

Vidor's defense has gotten off to a better start than last year. Is that because they are better than last years defense or is it because of the caliber of the teams that they have played so far?

[quote name="incognito" post="1275460" timestamp="1348006823"] [quote author=GoDogs27 link=topic=103335.msg1275236#msg1275236 date=1347991711] I don't understand why nearly every post I read about Vidor seems to have a glaring overtone to it; which is nobody respects us, nobody gives us credit, nobody believes in us, Mathews isn't respected etc. Get over it already. I think most people have given credit where credit is due. Vidor fans seem to have this complex they can't get rid of. You have a great program going right now. Enjoy it instead of constantly trying to defend it. You may not have the tradition and history of programs like WO-S, PN-G, Ned, etc., but that doesn't mean people don't respect what Vidor has been doing over the last few years, which is building a good program. There is quite a bit of animosity toward Nederland and MC fans in general from some Vidor fans and I am not sure where it comes from. This isnt new either. It was this way even back when Vidor was a doormat. I don't know if it stems from the rivalry complex or what, but it seems almost childish at times. I know a lot of what's said is general smack talk, and I can definitely understand and appreciate that aspect, but enjoy the ride and don't get lured in to traps. Act like you've been there before. Let Friday nights do the talking, not who beat who by how many points in X amount of overtimes, etc. Nobody can dispute whether or not Vidor is a step up from where it's been in the past. Can Vidor sustain it and become a tradition-rich program? Only time will tell, but trying so desperately to demand respect overnight from everyone isn't going to get you there. [/quote] GoDogs27..lol I think that Vidor is living rent free in your head right now..... ::) [/quote] Wow. I'm sorry but this is funny!

BTW, we returned the same amount of players as you including the best football player in this area. [/quote] and who might he best football player in the area be??? [/quote] That would be Montana Quirante.  8)

[quote name="GoDogs27" post="1274477" timestamp="1347910567"] I have no inside knowledge, just pure speculation but I think Spell will consider a 4-4 this week. I think we've also ran a 4-2-5 quite a bit as well? But with the limited passing by Vidor, he may consider putting 8 in the box. [/quote] Whatever spell decides to do next week i'm sure it will work pretty well. That man is by far one of the best defensive coaches in the area! Hands down!

Honestly since i haven't ever had to try and win against the pirates at the boneyard i would have to say png stadium. For some reason that stadium just gives us bad luck.

This is why i learn never to take stuff seriously on this board.

[/quote] True, but I like our chances.  3 Pick-6s in the last two games. [/quote] Your right. Your team has 4 interceptions in the last 2 games. You know now that i think about it i feel pretty good as well seeing as Vidor has 3 interceptions in the last 2 games. One for a pic 6. Not as good as Nederland but still pretty good.  8)

[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1274725" timestamp="1347929565"] [quote author=jake94 link=topic=103301.msg1274722#msg1274722 date=1347928979] Actually,almost as many Pirate fans are picking Vidor by double digits as Ned fans are. I believe YOU picked Vidor by 10 and a score of 31/21 so why are you asking Buddy for 10 points now? I don't think the margin on this game will be double digits no matter who wins it. I also think it will be fairly low scoring. Vidor by double digits: Robanadana, dustoff33, vidor96pirates, jmoore.. Nederland by double digits:thedogs1987, buddy Garrity, tdavis9, bulldog1984,mr. Happy, trocket, dmeast11111, png proud, dogs1988, godogs27. I think it will be a close and low scoring game. I agree with a previous post saying that a big key in this game will be what happens the handful of times that Vidor throws it. I will take the Dogs 17/14. [/quote] Yessir, i do have it by double-digits (for NED), but i forgot the exact score i said before the season started, maybe mytwocents remembers??  :-\ [/quote] You said a ten point spread. And i assume we are still up for our wager?

[quote name="phunter308" post="1274687" timestamp="1347925671"] [b]I think you may be confusing gamesmanship for sportsmanship.[/b] Mathews is a smart coach who has been around enough to play head games. Believe me we appreciate all the praise but if you think that that is all it is you are not reading between the lines. I mean no disrespect at all. Coach Mathews is a great coach. Ne may need to pass a little more but we shall see. [/quote] And i think you may be reading too much into quotes in a newspaper.
