That's what it's all about, good clean fun poking at each other. Some people just take it to the next level. I'm guessing they have never played the game??  ??? [quote name="PNGFan" post="1067674" timestamp="1317149106"] Some of my closest friends are from Nederland. This is the best week out of the year. We play jokes on each other all week. I woke up this morning with a Bulldog sign in my yard and my car. I have a special suprise for them come Friday morning!!! [/quote]

How is that relevant to THIS game? [quote name="Scalp'em" post="1067569" timestamp="1317144356"] [quote author=AggiesAreWe link=topic=88766.msg1067565#msg1067565 date=1317144249] Interesting numbers, Nederland is 12-6 against PNG since Neuman took over. [/quote] But, but, but, Who has the better playoff record? [/quote]

Bandkid-U have to TRY to understand that most of the people who make such remarks don't have the maturity or respect for the other team/town. Not many college Freshman think like u do. U nailed it though, good post! [quote name="PN-G bamakid" post="1067101" timestamp="1317086944"] [quote author=GoDogs27 link=topic=88766.msg1066968#msg1066968 date=1317076320] I would like the png fans to list their excuses now. When nederland wins, what excuses are you going to give? We all know that you will all refuse to admit it when you get beat by a better Nederland team. So get them out of your system now because I will call every one of you out if you use excuses after the game... Most obnoxious people on earth=png fans.. I don't know why everyone says we are cool every week out of the year except this week. I hate everything about png and I hope they lose every week. Sorry, ill never show up at a png game in support if they are in the playoffs. Be ready for an 0-2 start purple people.. [/quote] You know, it's posts like these that make me lose faith in people. I don't know how many times I've said it, but I honestly believe that this is the fiercest rivalry of any school anywhere. PN-G elementary students are taught to hate black and gold and Nederland elementary students are taught to break purple crayons. Long-time friends and even family from both sides of the tracks constantly find themselves making fun of the rival schools and taking friendly shots at each other year round. At the game, the two sides are constantly trying to make more noise than the other and drown each other's fight songs out, sometimes even booing the opposing team or the other mascot. Even outside of the game, PN-G and Nederland students alike find themselves comparing their schools' accomplishments in any given field - not just sports. But beneath the constant one-upmanship and behind all of the fierce competition, there's a strong bond between these two communities. Most of the kids out on the field at MCM have grown up together, whether they be holding the football, an instrument or a pair of pom-poms. Heck, most of the people in the two crowds grew up together. Many people live in Nederland and go to church in Port Neches or Groves and vice versa. Many live in one community and work in another, and almost all interact with one another regularly. Things like Mid-County Kindness exemplify the strengths of the bond and the competitiveness is part of what keeps the schools - and the communities at large - performing so well. I know most people believe that and genuinely mean the jokes and the swipes in good fun; I joke about Nederland a lot too, maybe even a little too much, but I'm just doing it to rattle a few cages, just like most Nederland fans do it to ruffle a few feathers. And then I read posts like the one above, and I just have to sit back and wonder. Keep it in perspective, folks. Scalp 'em. [/quote]

Wrong! You're obviously not from Nederland, so U have no clue about what U are talking about. Tell us YOUR perspective from PNG, and let us tell you ours. PNG is just another game in my mind, but I can't speak for everyone. But I can guarantee you that the kids who play the game (and when iI played) want to win every game, not just against y'all. [quote name="PNGFan" post="1067595" timestamp="1317145450"] Nederlands whole season is about beating PNG, not winning a District Championship or going far in the playoffs. Faircloth is about getting better each week no matter who we're playing and if we do make the playoffs to be prepared.  For Nederland and there fans it is all about beating PNG. [/quote]

[quote name="True Blue" post="1057615" timestamp="1316120589"] I am looking forward to this season. I wont to see if the HJ coaches are as good as most think they are. This yrs team will be a complete different team then what has played at HJ for the last few yrs. They are big and strong inside with a good slashing 3 guard, but not the 3 shooting team of yrs past. Just wont to see if they coach to the kids or if they try to make the kids playup to them.. [/quote] The HJ coaches have been successful for how many years now? What more do you want them to prove??

Nederland: YMBL Bulldog Classic (Nederland of course) Gulf Coast Classic (The Hill)

[quote name="Honest Abe" post="1055578" timestamp="1315868874"] Fair enough. At least you can have a more objective view (hopefully). I think Nederland wins, but I've not seen Vidor play yet. Sounds like y'all are pretty good too. I realize it will most likely never be like a PNG-NED rivalry, but sure sounds like there is some bad blood from both sides. Maybe it will turn into a bigger rivalry in years to come-especially if this 'smack talk' continues. At least it's entertaining  ;D.

His parents moved to Nederland this summer from Las Vegas. His uncle lives in Nederland. I think his parents use to live in Nederland too? Maybe someone can verify that? He will be a Senior this year. Haven't seen him play, but I hear he played well in summer ball. I think he plays Forward, maybe 6'4"/6'5"?
