What has also been very seldom over the years is that Nederland fans having so little to say about the upcoming season.  Heck, even negative comments would still indicate excitement about the team.

Did the football following die in Nederland when Larry Neumann retired?

No. I (speaking for myself) am waiting to see how they are going to look under Barrow.    Scrimmages aren't the best measuring sticks.

bd, I completely agree with waiting and seeing. Anybody who is ready to bury their school's team, or for that matter hand them a trophy, strictly based on what happened yesterday is being a little too much of a chicken little (or conversely way too boastful) for my blood.

That being said, that has never stopped many Nederland folk, even in years where struggle was expected, until this year.

I was surprised at that to.  When I did my initial post on here, there were only three, yet Belleville at Navasoto had 53 post.  And it's not just Ned, because I've seen very few post from the Vidor fans.  Haven't seen King Rob on here yet.  Is it just to hot for folks to think about football?  Maybe things will pickup soon. 

But kudos to these few Ned fans still backing their team on the Forum.

The Mayor of South Vidor is currrently enjoying a well deserved retirement out on a lake near you.  I expect to see him very soon with guns blazing about his beloved Pirates.....or the Whitney Wildcats.

As to other Vidor folk, that might be my fault. I could have sworn that I put up a Vidor/Galena Park scrimmage thread, but when I looked this morning, it was no where to be found.

King did score, it was 1-1 with the first teams in.  Not sure what the perceived panic is about.  Simmons looked in mid season form.  Defense had busts, but we're alignment related according to Barrow's comments.  Several bright spots.  Folks who have been begging for Ned to find a way for Kevon Latulas to contribute... well, mission accomplished, he was a big, fast, and physical WR last night, and caught every ball thrown his way, very impressive.  Hiltz also looked solid, he will be a big part of the offense as well. O-line was also a bright spot, got better as the scrimmage went on.  Lots to work on, but when does a scrimmage not reveal areas to improve?  Aaron Rodgers would tell us to relax

I second that, no sense jumping off the cliff and then looking for a parachute because someone said it would be there.

I may have overlooked it, but I didn't see Vidor/Galena Park scrimmage in the list of scrimmages.  Thought Coach Matthews was going to give the kids the night off lol.

I went the scrimmage and there was a pretty good amount of Nederland folks that showed up, the scrimmage itself looks pretty much what I've seen in years past, the kids will be moved around until the coaches get the right fit. The defense looking pretty good at times and the offense had bright spots at times, we played three different QB's and probably will play the number one QB more against Crosby. The freshmen and JV played pretty well also. Can't wait till Thursday.

I think yall are forgetting the Bulldog Way, Nederland has far as I can remember under Larry Neumann always used scrimmages and even pre-district to move kids around. Countless times I've seen Nederland go 0-3, 1-2 in pre-district then go on to win district or at least make the playoffs. I've always said Coach Neumann was a great coach because he knew where to play his players and I believe Coach Barrow will also take the same strategy. Nederland will be fine and the reason for that is, because they live in a great community, they have been brought up in a great program and have been coached well.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
