Has there been any talk about this game moving to Thursday, or anything like that, due to the potential weather Friday?  Just asking because I don't want to drive 5+ hours and get down there to an empty stadium.  That's happened before ha!

So far, no.

In all honesty, a Newton D1 isn't like a typical D1.  You can tune in and eventually you'll see D1 kids from other schools playing college ball.  It's kinda like Newton kids go into the witness protection program, never to be seen or heard from again.  

I've got Newton in this one, regardless. 

 

 

Kinda like tha cardinals football team, in hiding waiting to play a smaller school

Well, being that Newton has only sent 3 players to a power 5 school in the last decade really does not give a clear picture to your comment that you continue to state. Roney Elam, the one you always claim that does not play much at A&M, has not lived up to being a caliber college player. He's only started one game against UCLA last season, but hey, he's still there getting playing time here and there and getting a college degree. DJ Dean, started for Arkansas his sophomore and junior year, then battled the injury bug which kept him out of the draft. He was ranked the 4th best CB in the SEC after his Junior year and then only played a couple games after being injured. The other, Kevin Shorter, was commited to UT and never went due his spinal injury. So, it's not like Newton has sent many at all. But, they do have plenty going to power 5 schools now and they will all see playing time really early in their career. I guess that has to happen before you actually shut up about Roney Elam not getting much playing time at A&M. lol.

Well since I’m a WO-S grad I’m pulling for my Stangs, but I realize it will be a tough one to pull out. I just hope both teams get through it injury free and once it’s over ready to move on to the next game.  I do think whatever the outcome it will help both on the long run and that’s what matters most.

Per Coach T, the game will be played at Mustang Stadium. They tried for PN-G and Lamar but neither was available. Gonna be a mud bowl on Friday...

Funny that neither of those were available.  PN-G is in Houston on Saturday.  Lamar of course would not be in action until Saturday.

Wonder if someone got them or if PN-G and Lamar said no.

Lamar said no because of the Saturday game. PN-G said something about not having ticket takers/adequate staffing because they have a Saturday road game.

    • It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
    • SEC fan bases before Texas got there: “The horns aren’t ready for this. Every week is a battle.” SEC fan bases after Texas arrived: “Texas has the easiest SEC schedule ever!” SEC fan bases after every one of their teams has lost to one or more SEC teams from the bottom half of the standings, many of whom Texas beat comfortably: 🤐
    • With a big win against the rival to close out the year… look to see Lamar make the playoffs next year
