Proud Dawg Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Looks like Neumann will have another trophy to keep for at least a year. bigned85 1 Quote
Bigdog Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Funny seeing Wade wearing colors from both schools. Also caught at the end of the video that this will be the State game of the week! Quote
NDNation Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Indians!...Don't get distracted by all the hoopla! We got business to take care of! B) johnnyarm 1 Quote
El Guapo Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I can't wait. Already got my tickets. Is that yalls new helmets ? Quote
NDNation Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I believe that's the helmets from last year. That throw from Walker to sparks...NICE! Quote
johnnyarm Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Just think of the targets they have this year. I dont think Ned will be able to stop the passing game PNG will have. I heard today that the McZeal kid is back too. NDNation 1 Quote
NDNation Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Coach Faircloth has an Offense this year that he can REALLY play with! Cant Wait! Quote
CowboysNIndians Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Am I the only one who HATES the name "Bum Phillips Bowl"? Why....bowl? Did we somehow qualify to play in a bowl? Why not Mid-County Madness? Can we just award the winner the trophy? PLEASE, Port Arthur News, stop calling this game the "Bum Phillips Bowl" ... It's Madness!!!! Quote
AshlyHasBeen Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 We're still calling it Mid-County Madness. Also those are the same PNG helmets from last season. Faircloth just didn't put the stripes on it yet. Also Indians will have a special purple....and white face mask this season. Kind of like the Oregon style. You won't see them until week 1. Quote
Michele Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Sage was completely untouched going into the endzone....we will be seeing more of that this year! bigned85 1 Quote
Proud Dawg Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Two unproven teams that a very talented. Gonna be interesting to see where they end up. Only edge here goes to coaching and I am pretty sure everyone can agree on who is the better coach bigned85 1 Quote

Every time that someone has tried to introduce a trophy for MCM it has failed. Its not about the trophy and never has been , it's always been about braggin' rights! Quote
prepballfan Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 This trophy will not fail. Its a honor to have the trophy named after Bum. Its very fitting and he deserves it. Quote
NDNation Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 It will be an honor to bring that trophy back to the Reservation. Don't we have another trophy? Seem like I remember a picture of it. Quote
Bigdog Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Not from MCM recently. :) I agree its an honor to name the trophy after him but they should keep the name MCM. http://www.texasfootball.com/highschool-news/view/4219 Quote
AshlyHasBeen Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Midcountymadness.com handed out a wrestling belt one year. It didn't catch on. Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Change the name to Bum Phillips Bowl. It'll be such an honor for Mr. Phillips! Quote
PNGDAD Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Is that yalls new helmets ? I wish. Just a fan created helmet. I would buy one if the made them. Quote
El Guapo Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 I wish. Just a fan created helmet. I would buy one if the made them. Would be a good one ! Quote
biaplayer Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 I don't care what they call it. All I know it needs to happen every year, not to mention bring PAM back. No since having a team 5 mins away that has been on our schedule from years past. They are too talented not to play. Why schedule a team from Houston, spend time money and gas to travel when you can drive right down twin city hwy and be there in 5 mins or vice versa. SMH. Teams are all filled with talent just got to get the coaches to schedule each other. The season is upon us gentlemen. I can not wait much longer! Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
Gabe Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Ok so i do work at PA News and dont think we could ever and certainly would never even try to rename the game. This is being done to enhance this rivqlry even more. The Bum Phillips Bowl Trophy will be presented to the winner of Mid County Madness. Thats it. The trophy is an amazing item that ensures Bum will never be forgotten. Forty years from now players can see it and ask who he was and then learn of his accomplishments. We are making sure this will always be done in a manner that upholds the tradition of MCM and be something Bum would be proud of. The News didnt do this without first asking both schools for permission and speaking to others close Bum. The top priority is to celebrate his life and do it in a game he always remained highly interested in. And no i will not pick a winner yet Gabe. P badndn, johnnyarm and Mr. Buddy Garrity 3 Quote

I can assure you that PNG will never play PAM as long as BF is head coach. The issue was a couple of years ago where the PNG JV smoked their JV by like 40, then they played again a few weeks later and PAM brought a bunch of players down from Varsity to put it on the Indians and I'm pretty sure that's the reason they do not even scrimmage anymore. So it's not that they are scared or wouldn't play them, it's the way PAM head coach handled that situation. It's ashame they can't play with the talent both have, but you just don't do that just to show them up. Quote
