Maybe not just yet, but there will come a time this season when some of your teams will be pulling for the Dogs to win in order to aid your playoff chances. I think this will be a good game. Our defense can slow the run and keep them in between the 20s. That's all I ask. Let's see if Central can throw the ball. Nederland 31 Central 17

Exactly....

This game was over early in the first quarter. Sorry LCM, just the facts. As for the lopsided score, these kids work their butts off all week long and they have to go out there and execute. We were subbing in the second quarter, and if the subs can score, then it's just not the opponent's night. You can't teach these kids how to block and tackle all week and expect to pull the reins after 28 or 35 points, especially on kids who are finally getting their chance to take the field. Some teams can come back from that. I think Bellows threw a TD pass to each receiver, did he not? Plus Grogan had a couple.

Maybe if you showed Livingston a laminated, wallet-sized copy of this and your all-time record against Livingston, then Livingston would graciously concede the game and apologize for not remembering just who they were up against. It's all we heard after our victory. Attendance for these 10 games are among the highest on record in state history: Attendance Game Site Year 49,953 Plano vs. Port Neches-Groves Texas Stadium 1977* 46,339 Southlake Carroll vs. Euless Trinity Texas Stadium 2006 45,790 Highland Park vs. Waco Cotton Bowl 1945* 45,000 Houston Washington vs. Galveston Rice Stadium 1968 45,000 Dallas Adams vs. Richardson Cotton Bowl 1967 39,102 Garland vs. Katy Astrodome 1999* 39,102 Stephenville vs. Port Neches-Groves Astrodome 1999* 38,570 Port Neches-Groves vs. Houston Kashmere Astrodome 1977 38,374 Plano vs. Highland Park Texas Stadium 1980 38,000 Odessa vs. San Antonio Jefferson Memorial Stadium (Austin) 1946 36,000 Fort Bend Willowridge vs. Houston Yates Rice Stadium 1988

Since when do you question our coaches? They have already been subbing and still scoring, thank you. You need to worry about Livingston.

It's been 31 years since PN&G has won a State Championship! Crush that! And the last time for Nederland?? Do posts like this erase the fact that Nederland overwhelmingly won MCM this year?

It's been 31 years since PN&G has won a State Championship! Crush that! That's a lot better than a half century! Wow, you still lost this game.

The main thing that kills me about the PNG fans and this game, is the ones who say that if PNG had stuck with the running game, and the refs hadn't shafted them, they graciously add 14 points to their score. Not enough to win, but 14 points anyway. Well, the deal is, why can't we give ourselves a couple wide open overthrows? There's 14 points easy. This game was close only when it was 10-7. The Bulldogs pulled away and never looked back and never gave up. I really don't care about your past history or our 63-0 loss to Dayton. You are just trying to take the sting out of this loss with posts like that.

Funny, the PNG fans I know and work with come up and shake my hand when we win and say they'll get us next year....very mature and a great group of people. Pulling up your playoff appearances and state titles shows very little class. It's what I expect from adolescents.

Children....Prince wears what he wants. I've coughed up gold (never black, that could be serious) and I've thrown up purple (after some Mad Dog if you know what I mean). So let's not attack each other's colors. Really...

It doesn't have to be a block in the back for the block to carry the defender into the punt returner.

If Ned jumps to an early big lead, Neumann will pull his starters. We take no one lightly. When you do, that's when you get upset and/or have it handed to you.

When PNG and Ned play, there are personal fouls. On the so-called fair catch, there was a flag, then a discussion and the flag was waived off. I thought he was blocked into the guy. It's difficult to see every play.

Actually, it went to 4th down and PNG punted. They never ran an offensive play in that series after the call. I lost a down there somewhere during all that. Neumann was on the field because I believe a player made the call of which penalty to accept and thus the confusion. I may be wrong. Anyway, like you said, it may have affected that series, but not the outcome of the game. Should have been PNG ball, 3rd and 20 (or whatever half the distance would have given you plus loss of down). No, they ran another play, it was pass down the sideline that almost got intercepted. My memory is terrible. That's what I remember though. I'll have to watch the game again Tuesday night. DVR it and you can watch it all year long baby! I will. I do remember asking the guy next to me why they accepted the unsportsmanlike penalty. I thought it was a double foul. We have had two penalties at once marched off against us before. So I though it should be 3rd down with the loss of down. The next thing I remember is PNG punting. I hope my wires aren't crossed, but it was a confusing circumstance.

It happened at a Nederland @ Vidor game a couple yars ago too. I thought it was great. Also, at a Nederland home game several years ago, when they asked for a moment of silence, someone said "Our Father, Who Art in Heaven"...and everyone joined in. It hasn't happened since then though. I guess everyone is afraid of the Nederland and Port Arthur police arresting 5,000+ people all at once. Not enough paddy wagons so they would have to string us together in a long line and walk us to the station about 2 blocks away. Can you imagine that? ;D Way to go Vidor and coach Matthews

Why? Nobody made Earl Campbell lose weight and they had to help him up after every play. ;D

Some of your PNG defenders can flat put a lick on you and Grogan, even though he is big, is not immune to getting his bell rung a bit. He's a tough kid. He'll be OK.

Yeah, both of mine are from Nederland and both on offense... Wareall Grogan...152 yards on 23 carries...2 TDs (PAN has 152) Jude Vidrine 153 yards on 6 catches...2 TDs This is purely a toss up. OMG, I just saw Bigdog's post and both games were this week, so it has to go to Grogan.

What a way to start a week. I love it. I didn't predict a score for this game because I still had some reservations (pun intended) about our ability to stop the run. I am now convinced otherwise. PNG fans predicting a win, well that's just showing support for your team and I applaud that. However, those who predicted a 21+ point victory for PNG should just go hide because they obviously know nothing about football or this rivalry.

He's about as big too....230# I believe.

Wow, what a show by the Bulldogs. One-handed catch by Vidrine for 78 a yard TD, Grogan churning up the ground game (100+ yards), what a beast. Cardenas catching the fade for a TD. Defense stopping the run and making plays when they counted. This game was not as close as the score. Bulldogs dominated from the get go.

I usually look for areas of low pressure. Storms take the path of least resistance. A cool front or high pressure over Texas could repel it. That's the extent of my meteorology.
