Guest GoStangs Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 When you write "The Bulldog Tradition," do you really mean the "Bulldog football team?"
SilsbeeD Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 they have been doing pretty good since 1997
James Mosley Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Posted January 16, 2006 I didn't write it, I just cut and pasted it from BIGNED.COM. I think Jason Rollinson wrote it. I would say the change took place in 93 when Neumann and company took over.
SilsbeeD Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 yeah there was a 5 year play-off drought until then
Guest GoStangs Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 I see. I couldn't tell if writing a "tradition started in 1925" meant something other than the Dogs started playing in '25.
Guest GoStangs Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 No doubt, the Dogs have played very well since Neumann took over. Although he can't claim an outright district title, he certainly has made them one of the strongest teams in 20-4A year after year.
James Mosley Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Posted January 16, 2006 No we haven't had an outright district title yet under Neumann but I wouldn't trade our success since 93 with any other team in our district. PNG would be the only team close. Ozen and Central are both headed in the right direction. Good coaching helps! I would say this year could be Lumbertons turn around season. The Nederland team coming back next year will surprise a lot of people.
Guest GoStangs Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 I don't blame you. He's definitely done a tremendous job with the program, and has brought everyone (fans and "foes" alike) to expect great things out of the Dogs. If next year is a "surprise," then it means they're going to miss out on the playoffs with a weak team -- having a strong team and going a few rounds deep is almost a given under Neumann.
jdawg03 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Im of the opinion that if Ozen and Central ever get the right coach into place, which it looks like Central does, it will be a battle for 3rd place every year.....Huge amounts if talent at both of those schools
SFA85 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 There will be some movement among all 3 schools in Beaumont IF a certain individual becomes the head man in PA. Having said that, I told yall in the summer about Ozen and I told y'all about Central after the scrimmage I saw. Stowars and Clayton will battle for first, everyone else battles for 3rd......
Guest Penny Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 SFA, I haven't heard the word on the street, is Stump going to PA? That would cripple WB. If Stump stays, I think it hurts Ozen and Central significantly talent wise, but there are probably enough players to go around with those two coaches.
SFA85 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 No Penny. Word is Stump may stay till this freshman group(Class of '09) comes through or when Dodge takes a college job which his son is a sophomore now. One of WB assistants is strongly looking at the PAM job and I heard that pre-Rita. If this person goes south, he may take assistants from all 3 BISD schools
jdawg03 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 No Penny. Word is Stump may stay till this freshman group(Class of '09) comes through or when Dodge takes a college job which his son is a sophomore now. One of WB assistants is strongly looking at the PAM job and I heard that pre-Rita. If this person goes south' date=' he may take assistants from all 3 BISD schools[/quote'] Talked with a Westbrook coach today and this is not true...No one from Westbrook will be coaching at PAM
MikeEast Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Doesnt surprise me that Stump would want to stay until his Freshman class graduates. From what I saw of them they could arguably hang with the varsity team... They were really big, fast and executed well. I expect WB will be tough for the next several years as those guys step up and fill varsity spots.
kerusso Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 Was at the game back in the 80's when Nederland finally beat PNG after a long losing streak to them..was awesome atomsphere.
Bigdog Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 Thats why the play the game sfa. Ozen assumes they will beat Ned every year, but it ain't the truth.
Guest GoStangs Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 Ozen assumes they will beat Ned every year, but it ain't the truth. And vice versa, right BigDog?
Bigdog Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Sure. But when Ozen was created, the assumption was that they would dominate thier district and any other so-called "low talent teams" ie MC. Didn't happen. I don't make predictions , saves on the amount of crow that is eaten. But all these statements that the DC goes through bmt and that the MC teams dodged the maroon bullet last year make for good conversation, but you never count us out, we don't back down from anyone.
Bigdog Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 A close game... :wink: Closer than a lot of people think it will be.
bigman Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 they be so overated and why none of they kids ever go to a big school? they ate got no team speed and they are overated
