1970

Whoa! Go BU!

It almost looks like two evenly matched teams, almost, in a way.

Not good. Prayers your way, get well soon.

It's good to see all of that bulldog hate and cruelty gone now. It's also good news about the QB, for his baseball career especially, but I'm a little surprised that he'd be put immediately back onto the football field. My wife and I had dinner last night with a couple of bulldog friends and they were pretty surprised as well. Anyway good luck, MCM should be a good one.

There's an explanation for each one of those outcomes, but basically, welcome to schoolboy football and a screwed up algorithm. LP wins this one in a close game, I'm thinking.

A non-sequitur: When we evacuated for hurricane Rita, we left at 6 a.m., and got to Lufkin at 6 a.m. the following morning. The trip to Lufkin has never been the same ever since. Lufkin wins this one, regardless.

Who did they play on 9/11? Edit: NM. I intended to say they have only played 3 games. This is their 4th, indeed.

*** That describes Nederland, but IDK about BU. This is only BUs 3rd game. Is this Lufkin Homecoming btw?

He misspelled his name, then, it has an "i" where an "o" should be. WRT this year's team, they sort of remind me of me. Sometimes you can have all of the best coaches in the world, and devise the best plays, and get everyone in the correct spots, and still someone will jump offsides.

We used to go to the Bayou Cafe on Major Dr in Bmt for gumbo, hush puppies, and banana pudding. Good po-boys too.

I wouldn't go over 49 either, or much more. Coach J hasn't run up any score over 50 or by too very much in the 4 seasons he's been here. But I wouldn't expect to see many O-line substitutions until maybe late 4th qtr.

You took the words right out of my mouth. If Carthage comes to town thinking WOS has 0 chance then they could be in a little bit of trouble.

Where is the pregame meal when attending a WOS game? Will be scanning Texan Live and NDN Press for me this week, and checking in here for Carthage - WOS.

Hitchcock lost to Stafford in a close game. I'd have to say that HF takes this one.

Like Brenham? Anyway, I take it that GCM isn't too good. And I'm a bit fuzzy on who, what and where GCM is, in fact. Google says they began in 2008, so that explains it. I don't remember too much of 2008.

Silsbee

Gotta say Vidor, by a TD or 2.

Ha! That's right, both teams' mascot is Indians. I think the SF band plays Cherokee as well, or perhaps a toned down version of it.

I'm taking PNG again, but they better bounce back, and bounce back hard.

We should have beat them but we didn't, but you guys did. Congrats Bulldogs! I haven't watched it yet but it looks like it was a good tough game. Texas City seems to always bring a tough team. I don't know much if anything about the rest of the district, but the championship should be a good race I think. MCM could end up being an even more important game district-standing-wise.

Dang, there seems to be a lot of these type games this year.

Well, it'd be easy to say that the 3rd quarter is PNG's nemesis so far this season, we've been outscored by a total of 68-14 per MaxPrep box scores. But the truth is that we're a smaller team all-around, and just a good team this year, and struggling to be any more than that. It'll make for an interesting district race. Always a good competitor, but last night we were over matched, unlike any game I've seen since the SOC game in '24. When and if we clean up some mistakes, and the o-line develops, then we'll be better. There was one play where it looked like our whole o-line just stood straight up, and a defender came straight through to tackle the QB, like a play you'd see at the peewee level. The D-lineman that played against the Brenham left tackle (6' -7", ~275 or so) did the best he could I guess, but the D-line as a whole really struggled more than any game I've seen so far this year. Will they bounce back and make it a race in district? We'll see.

Dang!
