Dude, we’re $5.9M in the hole and not a sane coach without ties to Nederland’s community would choose to coach there over Crosby. I don’t want to go backwards to being the school he wouldn’t go to. There are literally hundreds of threads on this board, please find how many I “inject my .02” into? Again, speaking in hyperbole and contorting my word to fit a false narrative. When have I “talked down” to some team and not referenced data to show what I was implying? What’s wrong with predicting PNG will lose to a 5th place Tomball without RJ? I think Barbers Hill is a much better program than Nederland, if I say something negative about them I guarantee the majority of their reasonable fans agree. It’s hard to be objective if you’re a player’s relative, saying something that player’s relative doesn’t agree with isn’t talking down. As for the inferiority comment I still don’t get it? I think Crosby is one of the better 5A programs in the Houston area. I think the good 5A programs in Houston area are significantly better than the ones in the Triangle. Inferior to the other red and white team 15 mins up the road though, yeah.

I have to admit, your gif game is even stronger than my daughter’s. Usually when it’s at this level most of your friends are women? You only have 95 posts so I may be getting the wrong signal?

You ain’t lying, most already have. Could never figure out why on the way to the family reunion I either had to pee in Beaumont or wait until we got to the rest stop at the state line? I realize now that my dad was trying to leave a buffer zone.

That’s what these people cracking jokes don’t understand. This is a temporary situation, Crosby’s tax base is more than able to recover from this. I’m with you though, crazy how the people that normally complain about who’s on welfare are the ones waiting on it. Hopefully our band will be able to march?

Achane is being recruited as a rb/wr, he probably welcomes the move back. Kid killed it in the playoffs as a sophomore last year. Now they have Deshaun Watson 2.0. 5A-D2 region 3 is just absolutely brutal.

FB Marshall is going to finish first and Manvel will finish second in district 11. They can’t play again until the regional final meaning Crosby would get Manvel or Marshall in the third round. I haven’t studied this new bracket but in all likelihood we’re going to have to beat them both to get out of the region unless we draw Huntsville in the second round and A&M Consolidated knocks one of them out first.

Says the guy who has to compare his Barbie doll every time someone brings up the direction of Crosby’s program? Of all the mods you’re the one that’s usually on some bs and I’m not talking about one specific incident. In regards to that 40, 60 or however many year crap you want to reference, so be it. I think Crosby fans are perfectly fine where they are in the THSFB landscape and nobody wants to go backwards to being Nederland. You keep living in history while Crosby tries to make some of their own.

We’re just taking the place of the old Dayton posters. It is what it is, we’re not lying to you. The demeanor may be abrasive but at least a good amount of Crosby supporters come on here to support their team/give opinion/talk trash. I never see any that hide after a loss either, I’ve started crow threads myself. As for me, I’m the poster-child for telling you Crosby is going to beat you, showing why I think Crosby is going to beat you, then providing the color while Crosby beats you. I see how that can get annoying. At least through mid-November.

Dude, you're a PNG fan right now. They better hope your brother can put his cape back on and save the day or they'll be right back to getting exposed.

Come on man, you're already out of material? If you have an IPhone you can turn it sideways for more screen space if the numbers get to big.

Find ONE post where I claimed Crosby was the "Mecca" of high school football. Defend what when slapped with reality? I showed you the numbers that detailed exactly what I said. Lol, by the way I said that would be Vidor's only first round win for at least another five years and I was correct. I'm thinking about pushing it out to another 47 years though.

Who cares where Ned has been and what bearing at all does it have on this game? 60 years ago they didn't play with facemasks and Crosby wasn't integrated. In today's climate Nederland is literally a non-factor unless they have a kid like Washington. Also, go find where I "Crosby was the regional standard"? Do try to contort my words into what you wanted to hear.

Lol, 14.93 yards per carry sounds a lot better to me. I would say the sad thing is that it took y'all 73 plays to score 22 points with no turnovers while Crosby had two. As an example, you can average 6ypc on four rushing attempts of 20 yards, 2 yards and two 1 yard carries. In that scenario much like the last game went you're punting after four plays. Nobody is taking credit away from Vidor's kids. A statement was made about Vidor running the ball better than Crosby, I simply show you data that said Vidor ran it a lot but not necessarily better or more effectively. I've seen all three games of Vidor's defense on film, it's still weaker than Crosby's and by a significant margin. PNG had 638 yards, Crosby had 805. Howard put one in the bread basket on the opening drive and Chance Smith dropped it in the endzone which was the difference in the game. Defense last year was the worst I've ever seen at Crosby, new DC and a bunch of dogs have it looking real grim for the Pirate pirogue this round.

You should know all about it, Nederland loses to Crosby every time we meet there.

Smh, didn't you try to go to the same well before the Manvel game? Like I answered then, Crosby has the same amount as they do. I can name numerous high level programs with no state titles but for people like you that would be nothing more than an exercise in futility.

I don't think it's a knock on a specific kid, just an analysis of the position. Through two games Dayton's qb was averaging 41.5% completions for two tds and three picks to go with -18 rushing yards. Dayton got significantly more with Baughman, Herrera and even dare I say little Hancock. None of the "great qbs" the other schools have are 0-3 either.

Playing Manvel skewed Crosby’s defensive numbers. If Dayton had to play them you’re probably looking at something like 77-0 in which case the Bronco defensive numbers would look much worse. Dayton gave up more points to Porter than Crosby did to Manvel, Dayton just has that missed layup against Galena Park on the schedule to help their numbers. BH’s offense isn’t as good as when TW first took over but watch how many points Dayton gives up if the weather allows. Dayton can still be a factor by just running the ball and playing solid defense but for whatever reason they still feel like it’s a good thing to average less than 10 yards per pass completion and kill their offense. Dayton just doesn’t have the qb play anymore to try to win games through the air, lean on the rbs to shorten the games and get timely stops. Seems like Nations has other ideas though.

Dayton is averaging 14ppg on offense. Dayton is giving up over 31ppg on defense. I’m going to go out on a limb and say those numbers aren’t representative of the #5 offense and the #2 defense but the Baytown Sun may use different algorithms for their calculations?

It’s all good, that’s usually what happens when the new kid comes to school and steals all the girls.

You didn’t run well on Crosby last game and they weren’t in it until the end. Vidor was down 12 at the half and didn’t score again until there was 1 min left in the 3rd quarter, Crosby scored 3 mins later to go back up by 11 and Vidor never got back inside double digits until Crosby ran a safety out of the back of the end zone to kill the clock. Just becuase Vidor runs the ball a lot doesn’t mean they’re s better running team than Crosby. In two meetings Vidor has 125 rushing attempts for 662 yards, Crosby has 46 rushing attempts for 507 yards. Crosby averages over double what Vidor does per attempt. Nobody cares about the wet field, it’s just makes y’all even slower. Meanwhile you proved my point, BH slaughtered Vidor on a wet grass field yet Vidor played Crosby better on a turf field later. No matter the weather conditions I think Crosby comes in and makes a statement to open district play.

New Caney is probably the best game we’ve played to date but we missed a couple tds on the offensive side and New Caney had too many receivers running open in the secondary to really feel good about that one. NC’s qb just couldn’t consistently put it on the receiver plus they had some drops, one of which was a for sure TD. I agree that the bye week wasn’t as beneficial as it should’ve been, seems like the kids spent more time enjoying themselves and talking trash on social media than they did refocusing on their next opponent. On the other hand, I feel like Vidor is catching Crosby at a bad time.

I’m not one of the Crosby/BH fans that like to see Dayton down but it is what it is. This week’s games being the one month mark into the season I think it’s safe to say that Dayton is clearly the worst team in the district. You should never use the transitive method to compare teams but when you can cross-reference it with a weekly digression then I think it becomes more relative. Since playing Friendswood to a respectable defeat Dayton has followed it up with a home loss to Galena Park and a 32 point throttling by Porter. I saw BH play KP in person and it looked like two 6A jv squads going at it but that should still be more than enough to beat Dayton this year so I would give BH the edge in this one. Dayton on the other hand can change the whole outlook of their season with a win Friday, and at the end of the day the Broncos will still have the advantage pretty much everywhere on the field except the sideline. With Vidor and Nederland being undefeated off strong non-district performances and PNG getting RJ back I don’t think there’s any way to see this game other than a playoff eliminator. It sucks to have that type of game this early in the season but that’s where the programs are right now.

I really don’t have anything for you statistically? Like CCRed says, rushing statistics aren’t necessarily comparable when you’re playing Vidor. I can give you my perspective though. In order for Crosby to make it a no doubter I think they need to turn Vidor over a time or two and hold them to less than 4ypc, anything short of that probably makes the game more interesting than Crosby fans would like. That’s factoring in bad field conditions, if it’s nice enough for Crosby to throw it around the yard I think things become tougher for the Pirates. To get close to answering your question I’ll say this run defense is as good as the one we leaned on to get to get to the semifinals. Against WOS in the rain Crosby ran for 333 yards on 48 carries and had five rushing tds scored by five different players. The reason I feel bad weather may favor Crosby is because Vidor does a bunch of misdirection/slight of hand type stuff that becomes more difficult with a wet ball. I honestly believe Crosby can pound Vidor into submission with the run game if need be which is one of the advantages of being this largest school in the district. What I would be concerned with most playing Crosby is that they haven’t come close to putting a complete performance together yet.

I’m not going to comment on any of your facetiousness but I’ll just point out that Crosby is going to be ranked #4 in D2 and #10 in the overall AP poll when the new rankings come out. Appreciate the compliment. Looking forward to seeing y’all for homecoming in a couple of weeks. Score predictions can be subjective but I will say I think this one is over by the time the homecoming queen is crying.

Crosby has one turnover the entire season and has beaten two perennial title contenders in games where it rained at some point. Barbers Hill came into the Boneyard and beat Vidor 40-6 on a field in such poor condition they didn’t even allow their band to march. Crosby had trouble once with Vidor and now he coaches at Tomball. Last time Crosby played Vidor they only got to run 28 offensive plays, four of which were punts, and scored 33 points. Vidor ran 73 offensive plays and scored 22 points with no turnovers per the Chronicle. Once again, that defense was also a few notches below this one especially when it comes to run defense. Rain may help Crosby, Vidor actually threw for 84 yards last matchup.
