Nederland has some great athletes, so I don't think we were out athleted (is that a word?). Pearland certainly had a size advantage, but our guys pressured them and opened holes all night. We played well enough to win, but Pearland played better. Great season Bulldogs. I will proudly wear my district champ shirt everywhere. I will be there next season barking and hollering. Thanks for playing such great football.

Just had some red on radar. Worry about tornados. Ned will beOK and I will be there barking and hollering.  ;D

Weather channel shows it to be pouring in Houston. Not going to stop me from going, but is it as bad as it looks on radar?

Come on Vidor. Dig deep!

I hate the pooch kick. Can't blame it on kicking deep.

Anybody have any halftime stats? Go Vidor!

Is Ang's FG kicker any good?

[/quote] It's not being mean to the BDawgs, I'm just honestly more impressed with Vidors wins over Crosby/Montgomery then yours over GCM/Stratford, and Ozen has beat 2 District champions already with Brenham/BH. Not saying Bulldogs aren't really really good, just more impressed with Ozen/Vidor. [/quote] I would expect that thought, everyone wants to see a offense score 40 or more points before they are impressed. But when you run up against a defense that shuts your high powered offense down then your in trouble. Good defenses don't make a lot of headlines but they win games. [/quote] Really its not about that, more so in that i don't think you've played a really quality opponent yet. If you beat Dawson 3-0 i'll be just as impressed as if you beat them 42-28, because i think highly of Dawson. [/quote] Of course you are more impressed with Vidor and Ozen, I'm especially impressed with Ozen. The reason they played 2 great teams is because they finished 4th in 20-4A, and the reason Nederland is playing GCM and Stratford is because we won 20-4A. Making the playoff journey slightly easier is one of the perks of winning district. That's why we haven't played that high quality of an opponent until we play Dawson this week. Anyways, keep it rolling SE Texas!! Looking forward to seeing a Vidor/Nederland & Ozen/Dayton match-ups in the quarterfinals!! That would be a great Christmas present!  8) [/quote] Wow, I wish I would have said that. I'll repeat. As long as we keep winning, I couldn't care less who it impresses.

Some people are very creative. That was good!

Although the recognition is deserved, it is sometimes meant to make us drop our guard......fatten our heads a little, making us think we are too good for them. He sounds as if maybe they shouldn't even show up. Don't give in to this. Practice hard and take it to them. I'm sure they will be trying the same. Go Dogs! [/quote] Dont sweat it baddog, writeups are for the fans. I promise the boys are working their tails off. They know how good Dawson is. They also know they can win this game. Cant wait till Saturday. [/quote] Not really sweating it. Just pointing out the compliments and the ulterior motives. Ned will be ready.

There's a traitor in the ranks. Smitty says nothing good about the team where he resides. The defense has come around and still he talks up the other team. He should move.

Fighting all season to win district makes the matchups easier for the first couple rounds. Actually, all our wins this week were by one score. Ozen beating Brenham is the story of the week statewide, no doubt, but as long as we win, I really couldn't care less who it impresses.

I generally holler "Go Dogs!" when they break huddle, then sit back and watch the play. If anything, I think Ned fans could be even louder on defense. I know I am. I can barely talk the next day.

Most everyone is talking about what Ned is "up against". I like to look at it like "Look what Pearland is up against. Just saying....

Its not intentional, just a fact of life. The private schools just don't receive the coverage. Go Bulldogs!......hey, that was easy. Anecdote: coming back from a trip to California, we were driving through Phoenix and saw an SUV with a Bulldog sticker in the window. The closer we got, we could see that it said Kelly Bulldogs. We passed them and they saw our Nederland Bulldog sticker and sped up beside us and we both waved and said our hellos like we knew each other. Kinda funny when you think about it.

Ok, thanks WOSGrad and HubTx.

What I think happens to teams like Brenham is that they are sold on winning state from the get go and dare anyone to knock them off. Then they meet a team like Ozen, who other teams that played Ozen have warned Brenham about, and Ozen has nothing to lose because they are already marked off the list. I said Ozen should throw the bomb on their first play to loosen things up a bit. Maybe it wasn't their first play, but it was what eventually beat Brenham.....Ozen's ability to hit the long bomb. BrenhamFan is a class act and backs his team 100%. He also knew Ozen would make the playoffs. Something a lot of us did not think would happen, and it took the last week of district play to decide.

I stopped the pick game because I don't know half the teams. I'll end with 75%. Thanks Ryker for your time and effort.

Thanks. Can't give into the hype.

If you go into a game thinking you aren't supposed to be there, you have already lost. Other teams seeing Brenham lose today makes them rethink their own superiority.
