Here’s some history trivia: PNG and La Porte have played only once, in 1977. PNG won 34-13. I’ve had this one circled since the schedule released. The first two games gave us the chance to line up against size and speed, but didn’t offer much, if anything, by way of discipline, game plan, or execution. LP has size, speed, and good coaching. We need to go against a team willing to run it right down our throat who knows how to do it. I think we’ll be able to able to move the ball and their offense is going to show our weaknesses, especially around the edge. We’ve got a better defense and we’re at home. PNG by 10.

Let’s get it started

Good work Nederland! Messed up my pickems

The fact that CalPreps has WB as a 2-point dog to Lumberton, never mind a Lumberton team that lost 37-0 last week, feels like a sign of the apocalypse. That being said, I think WB will win by at least three touchdowns.

PNG will have a broadcast for free on YouTube. Search “NDN Press.” I don’t see the game on the TexanLive “upcoming” list.

Exactly - Glad someone brought up the important issues. PNG’s rolling out one of their favorite atmospheres. We call it: “Everyone wear purple and bring more fans than the home team.” And, by all reports BU has physical speed in abundance. We’ll know by game time whether they have the seven other kinds of speed (Recognized in the “Dictionary of Speed” as emotional, spiritual, mental, astrological, nuclear, cellular, and amphetamine).

Feels weird to predict BH in this, but that’s where we are.

I hate being ranked #1. I know that sounds ungrateful - It’s amazing what PNG has been doing since Joseph got here. But the ranking just feels like a big distraction. You’re not #1 until you’re holding the trophy for THIS year. Until then, you just have to play the next game. I heard fans talking about “getting back to Arlington” at the game on Friday, as if it were a guarantee. I hope that poison isn’t getting to the players.

PNG takes this, but there’s a lot to improve after last night. Everyone else has said most of it, but I’d add we need to get better at outside containment. Just about every long run Klein Oak had was around the outside. We were a little sloppy on containment against LCM too. Kickoff coverage needs a lot of work too.

I’ll go with WOS by three.

Hell yeah

Tackling has been really poor in this second half, especially on the edge and on kickoff returns. Extremely uncharacteristic.

!!score:39/14/4

PNG gets another interception. I think that’s 4 on the night. Indians at KO 35. Wearing them down. 6:33 left in the game.
