Dude, if you think they suck so bad go root for another team and change your screen name. 10-1 thus far isn’t sucking in my book.

Up around 70% so far with close to 7,000 votes. 2nd place has close to 3,000 votes. Unless they get a bot to start voting, it looks like this one is over.

They have plenty of busses. It seems like it’s always noon for some reason. I agree it should be closer to 1:30-2ish for sure.

Was going to post this - looks like it’s actually in alphabetical order by the team they chose to list first in the rivalries.

Lake Creek has too much team speed. Ned will make it close, but LC should take this one.

Quite a bold statement!

I also am a “Grovite” who basically took the same path as you - played on the Browns and all. It’s absolutely true that you grow up as a Groves kid with a chip on your shoulder wanting to beat the “rich” kids of PN at everything! My senior year our starters were pretty evenly split between the two cities, but most of the hard-nosed kids are always from Groves. For reference, I married a PN girl and now live in PN - so there’s that. 😆

You guys are hilarious. Man I’m glad football season is back!

I like this game so early in the season - will give a true test to see where the Indians are at with the new head coach aboard.

One of those is already going to happen. I’ll let you guess.

I’m offended that you’re offended that you think I’m offended that they’re offended by that inoffensive term! Good grief.

This is incorrect. They’ve performed the fight song every year they’ve been for the past 15-20 years or so. Wore the headdresses every time. Headdresses were also in the audition tape worn by drum majors. Disney is flat-out lying and trying to save face by throwing PNG under the bus.

Dustin Long also threw 3 picks that game. Didn’t help the Indians’ cause much. Ended up only being a 10 point game.

Pretty sure the helmets in the 70s and in 99 were hard. I know it been decades, but just saying - it’s happened before.

I believe it’s happened before….

Where have you read this? I haven’t seen anything official.

Go to around 2:22:40 towards the end of that game. That hit sums up the way the Indian defense played that night! Holy cow!

Man I love how everyone is in the know around here…

I don’t think the general public has any idea of the rumors swirling about Faircloth. Most of the rumors are being professed on this message board. That’s why you don’t see any type of protest or anything - most people just don’t know.

You sure are grouping a ton of parents into one category. Try not to generalize too much. I agree that a few bad apples give a bad name to a group a lot of times though.

I don’t think it has anything to do with kids seeing the field. As stated above, one of those kids started/saw significant time playing and the other was on special teams and also saw playing time. Both of those members are not the type to go looking for a man’s job. Something else seems to be a foot here.

Indians by a touchdown. Book it.

I’m hearing rumors that the 1999 PNG team will be honored at the next home game - anyone know if there’s any truth to that?

The circumstances of this game are very similar to 1999....PNG was 5-1 in district, Nederland was undefeated and pretty much blew everyone out that year with their potent offense. An outright district championship was on the line for Nederland, a co-district championship for PNG. I think we all know how that turned out. Will history repeat itself?
