You're not missing much Bulldogs might have 20 yards of offense tonight 

Same

No.  14-0 TC

Splendora is still a haul. Around 1:40 or more from Mid-County depending on traffic.

Still the possibility of 3 home playoff games all within a few miles from each other in the golden triangle is wild… 

I’ve been watching some Brenham game film. Waiting to see how they do against Montgomery Lake Creek, but they’re not particularly scary. Maybe worse than last year, which isn’t to say they’re bad this year. Just not much of a punch. Not a lot of size, not particularly fast, prone to dumb mistakes, and not well-conditioned. I’d be 50/50 on who wins between Brenham and Nederland. Reminds me of Dayton - they do what they do well, but it’s not that hard to stop them from doing it, and they’re soft of defense. With a garbage time touchdown from them, I think we’re looking at a 42-21 PNG win. This isn’t to discount them - Brenham is a tradition-rich, consistently high-performing program, with strong fan support. They aren’t going to roll over. But, PNG’s defense is too good for Brenham and our offense is going to score. I will say a big advantage Brenham might have is they’ve been playing tough, competitive games, and they’ll go from Lake Creek (who will likely beat them) to us, while we’ve had few competitive minutes since Texas City, and will play a cupcake this week. The team that’s had to fight and scrape always has a competitive edge over a team that has been rolling over people. Png might get shocked if Brenham comes out and punches us in the mouth. 
 

Texas City 1999 state championship game I came across. Pretty cool seeing it. They have a chance to make a deep run this year… 
 
I remember Nederland playing them very close that ‘99 year in the Quarterfinals 26-12 final…

Another test for the dogs.  I think they bounce back from a dismal game last week.  Inconsistency has plagued this young team all year.  It's time for the dogs to show up and end the regular season with a bang.  Dogs by 7.

Wait what happened to PAM?
 
too soon 💪😎☝️
gotta brag a little 

I picked them in my pickems. Method to the madness, pun intended 🤣

Super pumped for this game. I don’t know if we’ve ever hosted Brenham, but they have an awesome program with a great history, and their fans are some of the more pleasant I’ve ever interacted with. 
 
Also, I’m a little worried: I have an itch at the back of my brain saying our district hasn’t been as competitive as it was last year. The other district seems more consistently solid, top to bottom. I feel good about our chances, but this isn’t going to be some easy walk to the 2nd round. 

I’m finding that out right now. I swore it was a bear.

Can yall take him back please?

I saw that arse-chewing from about 15 rows up. First words out of my mouth: “I’m glad to see the coaches go Saban on him.”
It’s not the first time I’ve found myself comparing PN-G’s coaches to Saban this season. And I’m very, very proud to be able to say that. It’s exactly what we need.

One thing about Brenham, they are always in the playoffs.  This is not your typical 4 seed.  I wouldn’t relax at the site of their likely 5-5 record after they play Lake Creek this weekend.  They did beat a good 6A playoff team Oak Ridge.  They lost to a ranked Belton squad and District 10 is very solid this year.  They can beat you if you aren’t ready to play.
Brenham is going to score some points.  Good QB and receivers.  They can score quickly. They have a phenomenal freshman RB.  He went out with an ankle injury on the first drive against Huntsville.  Not sure of his status going forward.
 

Hard to know what to discuss. Can’t see Galena Park winning, but anything can happen so we need to dial in and leave no doubt and have an injury free game across the board. I hope the receivers get a lot of reps. Way too many dropped passes, all season. This needs to be a smooth tune up for playoffs that ends with us celebrating an outright district championship and getting ready to host (probably) Brenham.

Week 11 is here and the last chance for some teams to clinch a playoff berth. Several teams have clinched playoff berths and even seeding. But some are still battling for a playoff spot and some for higher seed. Here's a look at our coverage area districts:
(NOTE: please let me know of district tie breaking policies if I have them wrong)
 
21-6A is completely set with seeds as well.
North Shore is district champs and #1 seed in Div. I
Atascocita will be #2 in Div. I
Summer Creek will be #1 in Div. II
CE King will be #2 in Div. II
 
8-5A DI
Barbers Hill, La Porte, PA Memorial and Porter have all clinched playoff spots. BH (6-1), LP (7-1) and PAM (6-1) all have 1 loss in district. Using the district positive point tie breaking system (max point is 14), BH sits at +7, LP at -4 and PAM at -3. BH plays Porter while PAM will play Kingwood Park. LP is off this week. Porter can get #3 seed with a win over BH and a win by PAM. If both BH and PAM win, then the seeding should go as follows:
(note: this district does use point system throughout tie breaker)
1. BH
2. PAM
3. LP
4. Porter
A win by BH, loss by PAM:
1. LP
2. BH
3. PAM
4. Porter
A loss by BH, win by PAM
1. PAM
2. LP
3. Porter
4. BH
Also, if Porter beats BH and PAM loses, this will cause another 3 way tie. It will go to positive points between those three teams. Right now BH is +14,  PAM is 0 and Porter is -14. Porter will need to beat Barbers Hill by 14 or more points and have PA Memorial lose to create tie.
 
9-5A DII
PN-G, Texas City, FB Marshall and Nederland have all clinched playoff spots. PN-G has clinched #1 seed. Texas City can clinch #2 seed with a win over Nederland. A Nederland win coupled with a FB Marshall loss will give Nederland the #2 seed. Using positive point system, Marshall is a -6 while TC is a +8 and Nederland a -2. (TC and Ned will play this week so their totals will change with a Ned win)
(note: this district uses point system throughout)
A TC win, this will be the seeding:
1. PN-G
2. TC
3. FB Marshall
4. Nederland
A Nederland win by 3 points or less:
1. PN-G
2. TC
3. Nederland
4. FB Marshall
A Nederland win by 4 to 14 points:
1. PN-G
2. Nederland
3. Texas City
4. FB Marshall
A Nederland win by 15 points or more:
1. PN-G
2. Nederland
3. FB Marshall
4. Texas City
 

It will be home at PNG (home field to top two seeds in each district).

Thomas and Tezeno both coming back is awesome for Nederland. Thomas is one of the most graceful runners I’ve seen. He might as well be ice skating.

I agree - It’s almost a formality, except for PNG having something to play for in getting an outright district championship, and I guess galena park could be motivated by taking that away from us (if we lose, we share district champs with TC and get the 1-seed, unless Nederland beats TC, in which case we win outright regardless of whether we beat Galena Park). But, other than that it’s just “You have to play another game that might result in injuries, and there’s not actually that much at stake. I guess it’s a chance to take a low-pressure breather before the playoff grind, which will hopefully be long. 

I very much dislike these kinds of games on Week-11 when you've already clinched a playoff spot, you already know what seed you're going to be, with the other team not having anything but pride to play for. 
 
Hopefully a bunch of the youngsters that don't normally play gets to play a whole half at least and it's an injury-free game. 

Hard to know what to discuss. Can’t see Galena Park winning, but anything can happen so we need to dial in and leave no doubt and have an injury free game across the board. I hope the receivers get a lot of reps. Way too many dropped passes, all season.

He’s scary. I’m not joking when I say TC could win the region. They’ve got something going on, and they haven’t looked back at all since losing to PNG.

Your opinion:  If the staffs were swapped, do you honestly think that Nederland would look this bad?
