  1. Congratulations Jensen. That makes two 2013 Bulldogs going to Weatherford.  Nice facilities up there. Good Luck.
  2. Go Get 'Em John! Congrats to Cassidy. My daughters first HR ball is in a glass case with dates and info on it.  Certainly wouldn't want to deny this oppourtunity to any one.  One of our girls hit her first at Ford into the brush and we searched for a good while for it. Felt bad that we couldn't find it, but it didn't diminish the accomplishment...She's gone on to hit quite a few so she probably doesn't miss it much!  ;D
  3. How about NO, ZERO, ZILCH, Texas teams in the NCAA tournament!
  4. Difference in Branch and Knight so far is season #1.
  5. State...Not that difficult for a JC to be better 1 thru 5 than a DI. Remember folks a lot of the JC kids are there due to academics not talent...Not sure why a lot of the kids are at LU? ;D All in fun.
  6. Congrats. Well deserved. Excellent football player.
  7. [quote name="puddin tane" post="1380751" timestamp="1362012988"] lowrie was about the only one capable of taking advantage of the short left field....dudes only 28...shoulda kept him... a good popup will go out in left and we are assembling a "hit singles" team [/quote] Again your worried about 2013. This organization will have a lot of young talent coming into the big club in 2014 and probably won't be very competative until 2015 or 2016. By that time Lowrie will be 32 and could be useless in any trade scenarios. And the young talent is not "hit singles" guys.
  8. [quote name="ECBucFan" post="1381144" timestamp="1362101775"] We are going to eat at the Gristmill on the river next the Gruene Hall in nearby New Braunsfels.  ;D [/quote] Gotta go to the Gristmill. If it's not too cold sit outside on the cliff overlooking the river
  9. Liberty played DII Concord University last year. So not sure what your point is.  Also gotta be able to entice DI schools to want to come to Beaumont, Texas (voted saddest city in America recently).  ;D
  10. [quote name="UNLV" post="1377845" timestamp="1361549332"] Vidor kids never won a WRS award. The media pissed on the credibility of the WRS award to create a feel good story. A slap in the face to that super WOS defense and powerhouse Nederland offense. The WRS award is for kids with the potential to be the next Jamal Charles or Earl Thomas. What's next? A High Island kid wins because daddy caught a fish at the beach. This is not this kids fault, the media should find the nearest dumpster and jump in. They ruined a tradition. [/quote] Nederland Powerhouse Offense??? I think you meant Deffense.
  11. I am jkbtjc53.
  12. [quote name="robanadana" post="1377202" timestamp="1361462800"] This is one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen. Forget the Willie Ray Smith awards, [b]let's talk about being all State both ways!!! In 4A!!! I guess the Associated Press is wrong too.[/b][/quote] For the record I have said from day one he had the best HS football season overall in this area this year and I figured he'd win one of the awards out of respect for this fact, but I was shocked he won both awards. Not so much that HE won the awards, but that they voted him to win both awards. Just didn't think they would do it. And your argumment lost merit when you asked if the AP got it wrong....They get it wrong more than any one group of voters in the state. Not that they got it wrong with Montana, just I wouldn't use the AP as the benchmark.  ;D It will be very interesting to see where this team goes next year without Montana. Very Interesting.

  14. After this past season....Put some pads on 'em and establish legal residence!
  15. [quote name="uandme08" post="1377124" timestamp="1361454739"] I'm in no way defending Lamar because I would much rather my son go to a juco than to Lamar and that's my own personal feelings so no need for the Lamar supporters to get all uptight. When I spoke to one of Lamar's coaches, it seemed to me that they didn't have many scholarships to offer. Can't quote him word for word but they only had 7 football players graduating. I don't know too many kids or parents that would agree to "finding" a way to make it work the 1st year with the possibility of getting a scholarship the next year when they have 30+ graduating. [/quote] Good point, but in Montana's case if he is going on a 2 year mission trip, wouldnt the scholarship not count until 2015? Of course they may also take the stance that they can offer in 2015 when he returns.
  16. We agree there. Woodard should have offered this young man. He can play the game. Maybe not at LB and not a QB, but he could play Safety at the FCS level for sure.
  17. [quote name="ram0524" post="1377115" timestamp="1361452819"] Jaron was a very good player and was a great teammate. PAM got a good one in Johnson. Hope him the best. I might catch a PAM game just to see how he does [/quote] I will say this as far as it looks from the outside in...Playing at PAM as a D1 talent tends to get you more offers than playing at Nederland or PNG or Vidor as a D1 talent. even more so if you have FBS talent.  Only an assumption on my part, but I would guess watching 12 kids sign on the dotted line this year at PAM might have swayed this young man's thought process. I could be totaly wrong (happened once before  ;D).
  18. [quote name="jkbtjc53" post="1377108" timestamp="1361450961"] Lamar offered all the kids that had D-1 offers of course they're not going to go to Lamar. And please point out what kid he offered from this area that had other southland or juco offers besides Robert Mitchell (only other offer was Kilgore JC). The fact is Ray Woodard has ignored PAM and WOS for the most part along with the rest of the Triangle. But he can go sign kids from other area's of the state and as far as New York. If the guy had a brain he'd be milking PAM Mcneese and WOS. Just like Mcneese does [/quote] He offered and got a verbal from Fisk at PAM and he chose Morgan State on signing day and offered OT Justin Reasons from PNG and he chose SFA. Theres two this year! Hate to burst your bubble with FACTS. Most of the PAM kids are choosing FBS schools over LU because they are FBS talent. PAM players the past few years have gone to Arkansas, Baylor, UofH amongst others. LU will be hard pressed to beat them out.
  19. Lamar signed several local kids and offered several others that chose to go elsewhere. Just because they didn't offer the Vidor guy, doesn't mean they aren't giving local kids a shot. Take a look at the roster. It's peppered with local kids and the team can't compete in the SLC!
  20. Did Buddy put up another mailbox?
  21. Congrats to Montana. Capping an outstanding HS career. I know wherever he goes after graduation, the rest of 20-4A will be glad he is there! ;)
  22. [quote name="bigdog" post="1375802" timestamp="1361292287"] [quote author=DOGS1988 link=topic=109428.msg1375749#msg1375749 date=1361287918] This will probably not happen anytime soon but here goes.... 1.  Switch the Home side with Visitor side and have the sun at our backs. 2.  Improve the Pressbox and BATHROOM situation. 3.  Better lighting under and around the stands, I personally saw several elderly people fall because they couldn't see the walkways under the stands. 4.  IMPROVE the parking!!!!!! 5.  I feel like I am wasting my time so I'm not mentioning anything else.  ;D [/quote] You pretty much covered it, although I don't know about switching sides.  If turf is put down they could use some or all of the field next to the stadium for parking. [/quote] How about building a new stadium next to the actual high school. Nederland would probably spend just as much money with all of the renovations as it would if they started from scratch. They deserve a nice stadium on campus...course they kinda deserve a new campus also!  ;D

[quote name="RaiderGirl92" post="1372425" timestamp="1360535789"] [quote author=Yeoj link=topic=108809.msg1372042#msg1372042 date=1360434202] [quote author=RaiderGirl92 link=topic=108809.msg1371676#msg1371676 date=1360364948] 1.Nederland [b]2.LUMBERTON[/b] 3PNG 4.Vidor 5.Ozen 6.LCM 7.Livingston 8.Central I hope my boys get it going in 2013. Everyone isn't thinking much of them so it's those RAIDERS time :) [/quote] Somebody pinch her so she wakes up and Lumberton is back t the bottom looking up at everyone... Lol  ;D [/quote] Nope don't need to be pinched... I just believe in my Raiders [/quote] Patience RaiderGirl...Patience...LTown revival is about 4 years away, but it's coming. Gotta good group of athletes coming in as Freshman next year. Good enough to compete in 20-4A down the road.
  24. wow 83 points! Abel opened it up. Great job NDNs. Good luck in the playoffs.
  25. [quote name="HubTx" post="1371556" timestamp="1360345835"] But what does the trade say to the fans? If I was an Astros fan, I would be irate at the current state of the team.... When Lowrie was healthy last year, he was one of the bright spots.... I agree, try to gather as many young prospects as you can, but you have to put fans in the seats somehow, and the promise of a bright future doesn't do that.... Their team payroll is less than a handful of players will make alone this year... [/quote] It says to me, and I am a FAN, that the front office is smart. Was Lowrie gonna make the difference in this team being competative this year? NO Is he a part of the long term plan? NO (Villar, Mier or Correa) Did he have his best pro season last year before the injury? YES Is there anything that suggests that he will do it again? NO Time to get something for him while you can cause if he reverts back to the below average MLB hitter with 10 HR power then you wasted him. Building from the farm system and sprinkling in a few FA here and there is the way to go...Ala the 1990 Stros, the current Cards, Rays and Giants.  What makes Houston different from the Pirates and Royals who are always rebuilding is that the Stros can sustain a payroll above 100 mil. So when their young talent matures they can keep them. PATIENCE
