Coach English is a great coach, but this "molding" business being brought up is ridiculous.. The whole point is, the Nederland basketball faithful and upcoming parents of future players want to see coaches with their kids that enjoy basketball, not some football coach being told he has to because of budget issues.. Anyone close to the program can see that English is putting too much extra work into the under levels, that could be used for his varsity team.. The two sport coaching Mosley said about Robbins is a different story.. He is a coach who enjoys both sports and has a passion for it.. The basketball people in Nederland are tired of getting coaches for basketball that could care less about it, which is what happens EVERY TIME.. [b]Last thing I'm going to say...Back-to-back district champs.. Start treating them like it[/b][/quote] Beautiful!!!! [/quote] When they start drawing 6,000 people for home games and go to the playoffs 14 out of 15 years, let's talk. ;D It is quite obvious that some people posting in this forum either hate or have a disinterest in football. That is all great but it has gone over into some extreme jealousy to the point of name calling and questioning a person's intent and whining. It's all fair game in a sports forum but my goodness this is an active bunch. I hope that Nederland goes on a streak that all UIL sanctioned sports and academic teams each win district for the next 10 years. I will and do support them all. ..... but the football team will still have the biggest budget and the most support.

That is because the Livingston stadium is the size of little league field. As the article states..... [size=10pt][b] Because Livingston’s stadium is so small, PN-G has already sold out its allotment of 1,000 adult tickets. [/b][/size]

I watched my first Nederland Bulldog basketball game about 40 years ago and I find this thread is better than renting a comedy at Redbox.  :D [/quote] So what's your stance on this. I read pages of posts filled with nonsense so I decided to say something. I bring up multiple points that go against what they are spewing and all the of the sudden I am being defensive and taking things personal. Am I missing something or did I just ruin the bash party? [/quote] I think you are dead on target. I find it funny that someone claims that Larry Neumann would try to bring down a recently successful Nederland sport out of jealousy, failure to win a football championship or any of the other dribble on here. I suppose next they will claim that he is going to hire a janitor to coach the girl's softball team. I need to read the basketball forums more often. This is entertainment!

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1033433" timestamp="1313016139"] I think money indirectly does have a lot to do with it. [/quote] In as much as a school with 3,000 students spends a lot more than a school with 800 students.

[quote name="NorthoftheBorder" post="1033322" timestamp="1313002119"] With the exception of Longview, all metro area schools of DFW (most in Texas) Houson, San Antonio & Austin.  Don't think for a very long time you will see any different in Texas.  Thats where the overwheming majority of the money is now in Texas and that is where the great programs will be. [/quote] Is it really money though? I understand that larger district obviously have more money but it also takes a lot more money to run larger districts and then they have a lot more students/athletes to choose from.

I know that I have lost sleep over this issue. I have taken strong meds and still can't get a wink of sleep over worrying about the naming of a stadium in Beaumont.

Big ol' trout.

It has probably been said a few times on this forum but Nederland/PNG goes way beyond football. There isn't a day that goes by that someone at work doesn't make a comment to me about Nederland or I will make a comment about PNG. I might toss a pen to someone at work and if he drops it and is a PNG grad, I will quickly point out that it is merely another Indian that can't catch. If they find me in some mistake there is a statement about what do you expect from a Big Ned grad. Go to any Nederland and Port Neches or Groves little league baseball games or anything else between them and you will always see a crowd that is larger than normal for that sport. I saw someone on here state that they could be playing tiddlywinks and would draw a crowd and that is likely true. Mid-County Madness isn't one game or one week a year. It is 365 days a year.

Looks like it might be diminishing at the moment but still out there. Sabine Pass or PA looks like they might get some of it.

[quote name="aries456" post="1027735" timestamp="1311482057"] My friend had a beach cabin this week, and surf fished every day, didn't catch a single thing... He then went to the bay/canal side and got the same thing... Wondering what's going on? I mean you atleast get hardheads or croaker, but can't even get those! [/quote] When you can't catch a hardhead..........

OTB and my latest trip to the ship channel. Three of us caught 30 specks with the largest at 20.5". Most were in the 16"-18" range. This was just the 20 that OTB and I caught. [IMG][Hidden Content]]

What's your reasoning behind going with the rock river instead of a different variant. look, performance, personal preference, etc? [/quote] RRA's have a good reputation, a solid warranty and service, very good accuracy (I think mostly Wilson barrels) and great factory triggers. The Operator series is the best deal on the market today with $600 in add ons (quad rail, ergo grip, chrome BCG, winter trigger guard, custom stock, national match trigger, etc) for free. The base RRA's cost $960 with no enhancements. The Operators have all of the mentions extras for a driveout price of $1,000 and free shipping. RRA currently makes the federal law enforcement rifles or they did until recently.

Weiner is an idiot and Murdoch is a private citizen. What is there to discuss... since he wanted to see the answer.

[quote name="westend1" post="1021948" timestamp="1309563691"] OK   I have a couple of friends with lighted piers on south Pleasure Island.  Next week, two lefties, me and Three Balls, take on Hippy and TVC for all the marbles.   Losers change parties.  Who is in? [/quote] But you will probably wait until the tide is coming from the left side of the piers.

I don't know that it was 30 minutes. I was more like one of them and then a 10 minute gap. Then it was 3 that were 20" or larger in about 5 minutes. My largest was 18" but it looked small next to those bulked up 20 inchers.

Things are starting to heat up.

[quote name="bearbryant" post="1021166" timestamp="1309301128"] I'm interested in this Muzzle loader gun.  Anyone have any knowledge of this weapon.  Does it meet the standards of TPWD for a blackpowder gun?  [/quote] If you are talking about muzzleloader only, I think it does. I think it does because it loads only through the muzzle. The season is not cap and ball or blackpowder but muzzle loader season. From TPWD: [b]Muzzleloader: Any firearm that is loaded only through the muzzle. Note: A cap and ball firearm in which the powder and ball are loaded into a cylinder is not a muzzleloader. Muzzleloader deer seasons are restricted to muzzleloading firearms only.[/b]

The Elite is the best of that group with the mid-length handguard.

[quote name="vhs" post="1020847" timestamp="1309111212"] I'm guessing one of the houses on the water at Sabine Lake down toward the causeway.  Man there is some good night fishing off those docks.  My brother-in-law got an invite to one and smoked the trout.  I have fished from a boat just off the docks and didn't have much luck.  I guess its a case of who you know. :) [/quote] I had a guy that let me go to his dock on the south end of the causeway and we could kill them from his pier. Ike took care of that little honey hole.

In place.
