I'll attend the Nederland game without a doubt. Stallworth is a nice stadium and not that far to drive. Anything beats having to go into Houston. I also like the 6:00 p.m. start. I was home by 9:45.

Just curious Zone, how do you know who can beat who, and how did anyone K-N-O-W that Nederland would win? GP was a run team and we snuffed it out....which begs to ask, just how many teams are not running teams? You can probably name a few, but not any we have played, so what's the point? I like being the underdog. It takes a lot of pressure off.

Yep, she had Lynn Swann scratching his head. C'mon Central....Y-O-U C-A-N D-O I-T!!!!

You also predicted Lumberton to make the playoffs.....go figure.

The Waterboy's Momma says LM is the devil. Vicki Vallencourt says: Central 21 LM 17

Central needs to invision like the "Waterboy". Think of La Marque as being the Bulldogs. If you play like that, you can beat them. That's some high quality H2O.

I'm going to savor this victory a little longer. Then I will give LC some thought. These kids deserve to celebrate because they just played one heckuva game. Total domination.

Couldn't agree more. That was the most complete game I have seen in a while. Talk about total domination. Our kids needed a win like that in a bad way. Everyone had a good game. Let's keep it up. Especially on defense. It was nice to see our defense in their backfield all night. Hats off to that Grogan kid. He's going to be a good one...already is.

By mascots, I mean like the Bron--cos.....the Fal--cons...etc.

That's a La Marque schedule. I guess they missed it.

Say the mascot names slowly.

Here's why I asked in the first place. It shows La Marque losing to Pearland, but after the El Campo game at the bottom in parentheses it says Pearland and confused me. Sorry.

Thanks. Where is the game being broadcasted? TSRN?

Didn't El Campo beat La Marque earlier in the season?

If you are going to win the state title, you are going to have to play some good teams along the way. At least we have the opportunity to see what we can do against them. Anything can happen in football. Let's beat GP first.

Isn't that called damning us with faint praise? :roll:

From the moment I read the headline, I had the same reaction as tvc184. It's a mental check for the Bulldogs to get them overconfident. Neumann is too smart for this type of head game. He will have his players ready and fired up because there are no second chances in the playoffs and you take no prisoners.

92, I'm not sure I agree with that statement. If kids are afraid of getting their butt kicked in football, then maybe they shouldn't play, because I don't care how good you are, that butt kicking is down the road somewhere....pre-district, district, or playoffs....it's out there. Ask a kid, heck ask your Indians if they would like a shot at the playoffs right now, or sit at home because their record wasn't good enough. I bet you already know the answer to that one, so do I. Let's say WB won the district title out right and had to play SLC in the first round. What difference does a district title make for that contest? If you are 2-8 or 10-0, SLC is going to hand it to you. in the playoffs, you earn your shot at the next round, no matter your record. 85, it seems to me that early Ozen made the playoffs with a 2-8 record, or something like that. That woulod be considered a weak team. With a record like that, do you think most people think they deserved a shot at the playoffs? Probably not, but ask any of those Ozen players if they were glad to make it, I bet they were ecstatic.. There have plenty of district champs with terrible records from weak districts that have gotten it handed to them in the playoffs. I don't believe those kids were scarred for life. I think it was an exciting experience for them that they will never forget. The playoff system is designed to eliminate the weaker teams so that the title game is essentially between the 2 best teams. What could be better? Like I said, if you don't belong, you will find out soon enough. Just my humble opinion.

Adding a 4th team to the playoff schedule only adds one week to the DI side. If having this many teams in the playoffs is considered watering it down with weak teams, the weak teams will probably be eliminated in the 1st or 2nd rounds anyway, and these kids (we are playing for the kids right?), even though they lost out, will have something to talk about for a long time. Then there's the argument ....what if a weak team gets lucky and knocks out a strong team? Tough, it happens all the time. It's called an upset. It all comes down to money anyway. The UIL is rolling in it with all these teams. I don't have a problem with 3 or 4 teams. Like I said, if you don't belong, you'll find out soon enough, or maybe you can peak and surprise some people.....that's football.

I agree. But for me, it keeps me and my wife from sitting at home staring at each other.

To Purple Pride, thanks for that great post. I think I speak for most when I say we are not used to people showing an enthusiasm and respect for Nederland football. Good luck to the Broncos next Friday. I hope it's a good game.

Must be somebody with the same username. You could be twins. Threatening mods? Real smart. I bet he's shaking already.
