It is not perfect and a good management plan would be better but most of these leases could have gotten a management plan years ago but would rather go by the east Texas, if it's brown, it's down rule. Soon people in east Texas will start taking some nice (not necessarily trophy) deer with some trophies scattered in with them. It beats taking spikes and basket 4 or 6 pointers. [/quote] I agree , I don't hunt East Texas but some attempt had to be made to improve it and it will. I hunt in Maverick County and in Sutton County and the mentality is different in both places. But I have been seeing a change in the ideas in East Texas which is encouraging. [/quote] I've hunted Maverick. Some real hosses down there.

[quote name="lions_pride" post="1070877" timestamp="1317476145"] The lions were underestimated coming in to the season, except for where they were picked to win district. The lions have kept a level head and have had success taking it one game at a time. This week will be a challenge but you can bet the lions will be ready to play! [/quote] They were underrated except where they were picked to win district? Why is that being underrated? It seems like if your team is picked to win it all, it hardly speaks of someone not giving the credit due.

They did the same thing as other teams (including Nederland) do.

So, who do you think will win? ;D

I think TB gets his numbers from the local OCAW union hall.

It was a very good and entertaining high school football game that literally came down to the last play. I thought overall the key to the game was Nederland holding Vidor to a little over 3 yards per carry on the ground. For a team to come into the game averaging almost 7 yards per tote and depending on that ground and time eating offense, not being able to get it was crucial.

So, who y'all got, Nederland or Vidor? [IMG][Hidden Content]]

[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="1061281" timestamp="1316536416"] Troy Sumrall (Ned) maybe 98-99. [/quote] [quote author=outanup link=topic=88540.msg1061590#msg1061590 date=1316560025] I remember the one in 96 or 97, Sumrall took it 97 or 98 yards and drug a defender the last 5 for a td.  Cant remember who they were playing but it was the jumpstart of the Neumann era....... [/quote] [quote author=bulldawg64 link=topic=88540.msg1061602#msg1061602 date=1316561402] it was against  the sweeney bulldogs at home he took it toward the old scoreboard the side the flag is on for a td! will never forget that run! [/quote] "The Run" It was not just the run and the touchdown but the time left in the game and the impact. Great run? Yes but with the game on the line and Nederland literally one play from defeat, it was awesome. If I remember correctly, we were in Nederland and Sweeny was giving it to Nederland pretty good physically. Nederland was able to stay in the game though but it seemed like we were hanging on all night. Then fairly late in the game Sweeny drove down to about the Nederland 1 or 2 yard line and looked to ice the game with a touchdown. Then they fumbled and Nederland recovered just outside of the goal line and certainly inside the 5. Troy Sumrall took the hand off up the middle and then cut to his left for the length of the field. At about the 10 yard line the defender caught up with Sumrall and jumped on his back to take him down. Sumrall looked to be going down but used his other hand to keep his knees off of the ground and almost crawled the last five yards. I think the ref even got down near the ground to look to see if Sumrall's knees ever touched and they did not. Sound familiar to any other Nederland fan or is my memory fading too much? I remember that it lit Nederland's crowd up like nothing except maybe a touchdown against PNG. Shutting Sweeny down the rest of the way to take the win was just icing on the cake.

I don't think anyone chooses an arch rivalry. They just happen. Some people act like it is a couple of guys standing at a Redbox deciding what movie to take home on Friday night to kill some time. "Okay, I will taaaaaaaaaake.......... that one right there! That one will be my rival." Nederland might be the biggest trophy in the case from the opinion of some Pirates and if so, great. That doesn't make it a rivalry game. When people on both sides start talking about next year's game on Saturday morning after one of them lost the night before.... then it will be a rivalry. I don't know if anyone in Nederland believes that Vidor is anything but another game on the schedule. It is just another district game that we want to win to get closer to the playoffs but nothing any more than beating any other team.... except PNG. When PNG and Nederland went into separate districts a few years ago, the games still went on without a hitch at the same fevered pitch. If Vidor drops out of the district, I don't know if we will ever play again. Until that day that the fans from both teams say, "We've just got to get them on the schedule every year", it really isn't a rivalry game. In my opinion.

[quote name="VPirate" post="1061065" timestamp="1316508259"] Polls are fine, but I think you have to wait until the 4th or 5th game of district to really get a feel of where these teams are in relation to a playoff run......imo. [/quote] Obviously. If polls were always correct we wouldn't need to play the games. They sure make for interesting conversation though and that is all they are good for. For that, they are excellent.

I didn't know about their strategy but I figured it out. All along I believed that Obama and the Dems idea with health care was to get everyone forced to be on it and once we are all on it, we can't go back. The Cloward-Piven strategy is based roughly on the same thing. Get everyone stuck on the government dime and then no one can get off of it. Of course it will eventually collapse when no one wants to be the provider when everyone is treated the same. It takes the free enterprise system out of it.

It's Piven, not Pevin.  ;D

[quote name="westend1" post="1060039" timestamp="1316380902"] There you go.  In one post you say they could have done it and in the next, you explain why they couldn't do it. [/quote] I see that you missed it so I will try again. The Democrats led by Obama would love to tax everyone at a higher rate and restrict gun ownership. The Republicans and a few conservative leaning Democrats stand in the way. In truth, a couple of western state Democrats stand between gun control and the right to bear arms. The voting records stand for themselves. It would be easy to ignore their intent under the premise that they will lose but that is to be ready for defeat when it is a couple of votes from disaster.

How about this one TB, the Democrats had a super majority for two years. There is nothing that the Republicans could do to stop anything that the Democrats wanted to do. What do we have to show for it? They could have pushed tax increases, tax cuts or whatever else they wanted. They did not even want to submit a budget so the public would not see the tiger in its true stripes. [/quote] Could have, but didn't.  so why do Republicans still cry and fret over guns, taxes etc?  Glen Beck has you guys scared of your own shadow. [/quote] I don't watch Glen Beck so you will have to tell me what he is saying. Way before Glen Beck came along, Obama and others of his ilk have wanted to ban firearms and in particular handguns. They have also wanted to raise taxes. The only thing standing in the way is almost every Republican and a few conservative leaning Democrats. Let's not forget Obama saying that if he lived out in the country he could understand owning a gun but needed "common sense" for city dwellers. Obama backed Chicago and their gun ban that flew in the face of the Second Amendment. Let's not forget that only 12 Democrat senators voted for the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 4 Democrats voted for the 2003 tax cuts.  The idea that the Dems are pro tax cuts and pro Second Amendment is laughable. They are brought kicking and screaming but then want to claim support once it passes. The votes don't back up that claimed support.

The problem is losing more jobs than those starting. If we create 20,000 jobs this week but lose 50,000 then we are minus 30,000 jobs for the week. According to government figures, last week alone saw 428,000 new jobless claims and up since the week before which had 417,000 new claims. So in the last two week almost one million people have filed new claims for unemployment. You post information that shows (even if correct) that south Texas is going to create up to 68,000 job BY 2020. The last time I looked, that is 8+ years from now. I am not sure how that is going to help Obama's election chances in 13 months.
