So the picture posted on here is not of the infamous ipad. Its of a monitor in the box showing the live feed as I expected. FAKE NEWS. 
This gives credence to BF saying it wasn’t utilized, just in the box. Take the punishment and move on now. 

The truth, maybe? I mean, if you want to say your own head coach is lying, that's your business, but I'm going to take him at his word.

No, I didn’t presume anything. I'm merely pointing out that the facts that were stipulated to by all of the parties involved don't include what you're arguing.
Monte Barrow, one of the fact-finders who voted on this and the head coach of PN-G's arch rival, explicitly stated that the infraction had no effect on the outcome of a close game that came down to the final possession. If the facts were such that the coach taking the pictures was using them in a way that affected the outcome of the game, he wouldn't be saying that.
My guess is that this coach was taking the pictures for use after the game during weekly practices. If true, that's a violation, to be sure, but not one that affected the outcome of the Crosby game. Thus, the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

41-21 Nederland beat up on us a little bit but our boys fought hard to the end. Nothing to be ashamed of, good luck in the playoffs dogs.

41-13 PNG at the Half. Scalp ‘em!

29-24 BH at halftime. 
Crosby was up 24-15 by just running the ball down their throat, then BH turned it over on downs, coach decides to start passing the ball. It’s been down hill since. Our run game is killing them tonight and the last two series they keep trying to pass. I’ve never seen anything like it. 

Defense has only allowed 7 points so far. And they just made up for it with the recovery for a TD.

I like Wright's BBQ on 105

Dayton played hard just not to be. #34 is just a sophomore and the kid can ball. I would have him throwing all week and get him a ton of snaps the last 2 games. Anyway hope Dayton can find a way to win on senior night at Bronco stadium but Santa Fe is no joke. One way or the other I will be there. 

In those years, I never understood why we didn't play a tougher pre-district schedule. I personally think we should have WO-S on the schedule every year. We may lose to them four out of five times, but we're always going to be better for the loss.

I agree with the "more evenly matched" position. Looking at it from the PNG perspective: In the old district, we had (give or take the year) Livingston, Lumberton, Baytown Lee, Goose Creek Memorial, and Ozen. These tended to be predictable wins, most years, for PNG. When LCM was in the district, we ALMOST always beat them. Livingston, Lumberton, and Ozen were barely big enough to even be in our district, and are now in the lower classification. Throw in Vidor being a win for PNG in the vast majority of our matchups, and we end up with most district games in the old district being relatively easy wins for PNG.
Some years it was different. Livingston took us to the woodshed in 2011. Vidor got us in 2012. So I'm not saying every year was the same, or that these teams were pushovers. I'm just saying PNG tended to take care of business against most teams in our district, and the scores were often quite lopsided. Then we'd get to the playoffs get hit in the mouth.
In recent years, the mostly respectable teams in our district were Central, Nederland, and PNG, and those teams were more or less guaranteed to make the playoffs. The two years Memorial was in the district were great years, in my opinion, because it increased the competition so much. We no longer had to wait until the playoffs to face playoff competition. Memorial made us better.
Now the district has so much parity. It's a good thing. Yeah, PNG has had to play close games, and we've given up so many points. But the district isn't a cakewalk anymore. Instead of having four-to-five opponents being predictable wins for PNG, none of the games are. It makes it tough for teams to make the playoffs and that meat grinder will help us in the playoffs. Prediction: District 12-5a II will represent well in the playoffs. We're going to have some deep runs out of this district.

Utah does a 3 way a bit differently 

What does it say about Nederland fans who respond defensively to objective statistics about their team? You'd think I had burned down the last remaining blade of grass on the Nederland field, the way Nederland fans have had their feelings hurt over what is essentially a straightforward analysis. Further, Nederland fans are the ones who keep bringing up PNG -- I was just commenting on the Vidor-Nederland game. 
Further, why is "spewing stats" such a problem? Doesn't it make the conversation more interesting when someone supports a position with something other than veiled threats, capital letters, and exclamation marks (which are all too common on this site)?

I think my original post has been misunderstood. I never said or implied that Nederland has been lucky. I just looked at what they have done against the opponents they have faced, and compared it to what Vidor has done. Nederland is a good team. No one has argued otherwise. 

A Pirate ship runs over a dog pound. Team managers have to spend the weekend cleaning fur off the Black Pearl. Bulldogs hold a 21-sprinkler salute at their field. 

Just in case anyone is curious. I really, really do not like Nederland. Except after MCM then I really, really want to see them do well in the playoffs, represent the area.

Cool stories, guys. They all get a thumbs up. This is why we play the game. I think Vidor drops another hard fought contest, but I also think it's going to be closer than you think.

Could be wrong but, Rez Ipsa seems like an Injun fan......

Only problem with this 5th place teams consolation is you are still not to Vidor  in the standings

I never said the point averages in past games were going to determine who wins in the next game. You're right -- In the end, the only thing that matters is who wins the game. Until then, it doesn't hurt to look at different stats showing the different teams' strengths and weaknesses, particularly when it was a Nederland fan that brought it up. A Nederland fan said, "Look how many points we are scoring" (paraphrased) as evidence of how many points Nederland will put up against Vidor, and I offered some perspective as to why the data is skewed and areas where Vidor may not be as weak as their record looks. So, to the extent that the past performance is indicative of future performance, that "crap" does matter, and it may end up mattering so much that Nederland loses this week. Nederland is not invincible. Vidor has been close to HUGE wins this season. They just might pull one off this week. I certainly hope they do. 
 

haha- No, someone is supposed to be doing homework, but is letting himself be distracted by football.
