[quote name="bigred360" post="929563" timestamp="1291937311"] Come on, Forney is faster than 5.0 in the forty. He is tall so it doesn't appear he is moving very fast. I bet he runs at least a 4.7. [/quote] ??? Did you watch him play any? He is SSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW. But like I said he has a legit arm. If he plays QB he will be a pocket passer. Sonnier only ran in the 4.6 range! And he was football fast. 6'5" 250 pounders dont run 4.7's very often! I'd be willing to bet Cam Newton will only clock 4.6ish at the combine.

[quote name="bigred360" post="929446" timestamp="1291927596"] Lord I hope he is not the one Lazeek is talking about. Did Forney even make All-District? I think he has some talent but I was thinking he'd go juco and work on being a dual threat QB. [/quote] Forney will never, ever be a dual threat QB. You have to actually have some speed to be a dual threat QB. Kid runs 5+ second forty on a good day. Good arm. I would say if he plays at LU it will be as a DE. His work ethic will need to change, especially to play QB. Three PNG seniors this year that can play at the next level, be it FBS or FCS, but have heard very little about their recruitment to date: QB - B. Doty - 6'2" 185 lbs OL - G. Lunceford - 6'3" 270 lbs LB - D.J. Schexneider - 6'2" 200 lbs Another is WR A. Jalali - 5'9" 170 lbs, but he will play baseball (kid can hit a ton and is fast on the bases). Maybe an LU diamond recruit!

[/quote] While the RedSox are able to sign most people.. No one compares to the Yankees. No one is even close to what the Yankees are capable of doing money wise. [/quote] There is no denying that the Yanks overspend on everyone. Boston does the same, but they happen to actually have some home grown talent that keeps them from being in the Yankees annual spending stratosphere. All this does is drives up the prices for the small markets on sub-par free agents. It's killing baseball outside of NY, Bos and LA!  Take a look at what has happened to TB this offseason. Crawford, Pena, Benoit, probably Soriano and Ballfour and others all either gone via FA or on the way out. Just wait and see what happens to one of the best true baseball cities in America in St. Louis if Pujols ends up a Yankee, Met or BoSock

And the rich get richer...This is whats killing MLB!

Nicholls is not making any money off of it's home games. LU is. Therefore it is more financially benificial I am sure for LU to play home cupcakes and more financially benificial for Nicholls to play road power conferences. Just my opin! A few years back we had TT in here and ArkSt., BYU, always had Rice. I am guessing next year we will get ULL and Rice at home, maybe even Tulane. That works for me. Be nice to see UH in the Montange.

[/quote]1997,La Marque won it's third consecutive State Title. 1995 was the last unified title in Class 4A ,1996 and 1997 were in Class 4A Div. II. Texas City was the champion in Div I in 1997. [b]La Marque went to the title again in 1998, making it 6 consecutive years. [/b] The only time that was done by any team in any division in the State of Texas was in the early 1920's, which was Waco. Unfortunately that powerhouse of a team from Stephenville kept La Marque from winning it in 3 of those 6 years. [/quote] Great, Great run. Is there another one in the Coogs future? By the way who broke that streak in 1999?  ;D

[quote name="RCOLE68" post="928128" timestamp="1291750048"] Friendswood looks like a team on a mission this year and Lake Travis has not been the juggernaut [b](undefeated)[/b] power this year but have had a few injuries slow them down. Going to be a good one- Friendswood-42 Lake Travis-35 Go win state Mustangs!! [/quote] Who did FWood lose to? Who did LT lose to? By the way not slamming FW. You asked for a prediction! So how is picking the 3 time defending State Champion, whose only losses this year were to the other defending Champion and A now 13-1 Cedar Park team (vindicated), a slam to FW. Champion is still champion until prooven otherwise. Look folks, if you had your choice of opponent this week, Callalen or LT, with a tilte game appearance on the line, who are you picking. LM got a better draw.

LaMarque plays for a state title! That's all I have to say about the FW / LT game.

String of early season losses to some very good teams. Proof that it's best to be hot at the end of the season!

Blowout of Epic proportions followed by another letdown loss to ______...Fill in the blank! (ULL)

Honest question here...Was Lamar 1AA in the 70's and 80's? If so when was Lamars last playoff game?? I couldn't find it going back to '82

[quote name="samsung" post="926618" timestamp="1291527236"] Anybody wanting to fire Larry Neuman is crazy.  Hes the best coach in the area. [b] If he had players like PNG [/b] and Central he,d win district every year.   [/quote] That's funny right there! Three seasons ago we had a coach that said he didn't have the talent to compete with Nederland, now we got a new coach and someone from Nederland is saying this about our talent. Prooves what good coaching does for ya. One of these seasons Neuman will have a healthy team and he will no doubt be DC again. The man can coach.

Yea after the UT game and the first half of this game, I thought LU had figured out how to play some defense. I actually thought, WOW, this could be the start of something great...Then we came out the second half and needed the Hymlic!!!

Ran it very, very well to be exact. You need a Cam Newton Tpe to run the Spread Option! Besides Nederland had the closest thing to a Cam Newton Type this year. 6'5" 245 lb QB. Just couldn't run.  ;D [/quote] He ran just good enough, don't you think? OK nit-picker, don't you think PNG would have maybe even won state with a Cam Newton type QB.....just a thought. That's being very successful. [/quote] No. I dopnt. Our offense scored. Having a Cam Newton Type would not have made a difference. Having an Auburn Defense Would!!! We lost because of our Defense or lack their of. Our offense could score on anyone. Point being made is that Nederlands problem the past few years has not been its Spread Offense. It's been the fact that the OLine was not very good. If the OLine is not good it doesn't matter what offense you run!

[quote name="UNLV" post="924163" timestamp="1291305927"] As usual, you guys know nothing. A few months ago the biggest argument against LU, UNT, and any other regional school joining the WAC was travel. Well guess what?  The center is now in Texas. With Utah st nearly out the door, Idaho and SJSU are now the odd balls much as Tech was for years. [/quote] Yeah we are all clueless...You are so much more in tune with reality than anyone else!  ::) A few moths ago the WAC would have been entising to a UNT, ULL because they had Boise St., Hawaii and Nevada...But the travel [b]WAS[/b] the biggest issue. Now without programs that have gotten national attention the past 5 years, what is the draw for UNT and ULL?? Better off expanding the Sunbelt.

TexazBall, you got Mitchell as Newcomer and 1st team. Can't have both.

BISD has open enrollment within the district if I am not mistaken. It has to do with the two "Magnet" schools correct? If a player transfers to LCM and is found not to have paid the $1700 annual fee and still lives outside the LCM district, then I would call for LCM's head! Serious multiple year penalties in whatever sport it is. This has to be governed tightly.

[quote name="scapegoat" post="923909" timestamp="1291258008"] I am sure you guys can produce a list that is better than our district coaches that cut film and scout for a living.I am not saying they are perfect.I am sure they are better than the agenda oriented list you will produce! [/quote] Wrong...Head Coaches voted. Head Coaches don't cut film and scout...They have Middle School coaches and lower level coaches doing these things for them and they get a report. This has allways been a big problem at the college level with the coaches polls. Most coaches admitted that the SID actually votes for them because they pay more attention to the football landscape.

[quote name="BaseBow" post="924047" timestamp="1291294172"] Central=11 P.N.G=6 Livingston=4 Nederland=3 L.C.M=3 Ozen=2 Vidor=1 ...I guess you do like it Soulja .. :D [/quote] Typically the DC gets the most on the team. and so on. Nederland only having 2 on the list would validate Sonnier and Neumans spots. Lots of youth on that team. So essentially Nederland has 3 with Neuman. Green was the hardest not to put on the team. In the end that came down to wins and losses since there were some very good QBs this year. Newcomer of the year is usually a Sophomore. Hard to argue that Mitchell being a Sophomore and leading his team to a DC is not Newcomer of the year.

[quote name="UNLV" post="923984" timestamp="1291263841"] With Utah st nearly out the WAC door, that leaves San Jose st Idaho New Mexico st UTSA Texas st La Tech Denver If the Wac could unload Idaho and San Jose, Could the remaining 5 be enough to lure Lamar, UNT, ULL, and Ark st. Before anyone scream UNT would never. UNT is not going CUSA. CUSA will take Big 12 left overs after the Big 12 collapse. [/quote] Sunbelt is better than what you have here. No way those three would leave Sunbelt for this.

This was the case a few years back. PNG vs Brenham and Nederland vs LaMarque back to back at Reliant to open the season, then the following season also at Reliant PNG vs LaMarque and Nederland vs Brenham. We loved it!

If you can't engage in any extraciricular activities (UIL) then there will be no recruiting. Kinda useless if you think about it. What kid wants to go to another school (maybe better academically) and pay for it, but not be involved in any UIL events?? don't think just sports here folks.
