Mental as Vidor has won only 9 times overall vs 57 wins for Ned. :)

57-9

Just more reason to keep the foot on the pedal and run it up.  But unlike the MC coaches, Matthews has more class than that.

Most of those 57 wins happened these kids grandparents played.  Man, you guys are cocky for a team that just recently won their first DC in decades.

I will not celebrate if Vidor beats Ned:)

Lol.  I doubt that. :)

You guys that can make this game are lucky.  I'm usually stuck updating the screen on here or some social media outlet.  But nothing matches the atmosphere of being at a good high school football game.

Neumann doesn't run it up either.   As far as the 57 wins goes, you are incorrect.  While it took Vidor 35 years to beat Ned for the first time (they started playing in 1940 and Vidor won the first game in 1975 14-13)  They haven't been very successful in the last 30 or so years (9 wins total.)  Mathews has beaten Ned three times. (2001,2006,2010).   Its not cockiness,its history. :)

We didn't beat Nederland in our state Semifinal year?  I honestly don't know.  I played in the late 80s and very early 90s.  

I don't dislike MC teams.  I respect tradition.  Even in our worse years, we won that darn KD 97 spirit stick all the time.  Got to give use some credit for being spirited after the history we have had.

No, Vidor didn't play Ned that year.  They had just moved up to 4A, and Vidor was still 3A.  Coach was Edgar Payne.  Came to Vidor after an 0-10 season.  Went 6-4 his first year, and lost at State Semi Finals by penetrations, although Vidor lead in every offensive category.   He retired due to health reasons, but was one of the best Coaches ever in this area, imo.  And Vidor had the best looking uniforms I've ever seen.

I never said that you weren't.  I have also said that most of the games  lately have been close hard fought games.  I expect tonight to be the same.

Thanks for that.  I remember talking to Sparky about that game.  Back when he was a Vice Principal.  Word was he had a great season.

He was awesome.  On D, he'd get in the offensive backfield and grab a 2 or 3 of RB's, and cull them out until he found the one with the ball.  He made All State, and had offers from Rice and others.  Lamar didn't offer him one.  When he went to them, they said they didn't think he'd want to go there, and gave him one.  That's how I remember it.  He was a great guy, and came from a great family.  And a good friend from those days.
