‘Dogs begin spring football today

By Tom Halliburton

The Port Arthur News

NEDERLAND -- It's called Nederland spring football training and it's a completely new concept as of this morning.

The Bulldogs never have donned the pads and helmets and truly conducted an organized spring football practice before today. How organized will today's first-ever practice be? That remains to be seen.

I know they've got kids in baseball... but to be losing a week of 2 a days, it doesn't seem they'll  get the full benefit by only doing practices during the class period.

[smitty]

Neumann's admitting they've lacked toughness in recent years.  Interesting!

"But the makeup of our team lends itself to having spring football this year. I've always enjoyed having that extra scrimmage but there are some unique considerations this time which we have had to examine. We have a greater quantity of younger players."

We've been talking about this for a long time, the junior class to be is the start of a wave of VERY talented players... Football in Nederland bout to get interesting again.

[smitty]

looks like someone getting nervous

[smitty]

We may need to start the "Neumann Nervous Meter."  0 - 10  scale; 10 being highly shaking in boots.

Where do you think it's at right now?

[Guest Penny]

You are joking right Smitty?  Nervous... about what?  About what he's got coming through his program right now ... yeah I bet he's crappin himself as we speak.

[smitty]

New Indian said it looks like he's getting nervous.  Why not ask him/her?!

OK, so what does he have coming through his program?

[NDNWarrior]

That is an INTERESTING question, with no negativity implied.  Just curious:  What DOES Neumann have coming through his program?

He has some kids coming that will punch you in the mouth instead of arm tackle you. Newman is right, they have not been tough the last few years and it makes me want to puke!

[NDNWarrior]

With ALL the changes taking place, looks like 20-4A gonna be a tough district next year!  Here's an early wish:  Hopefully, someone from our neck of the woods will bring home a State Trophy!!!

So you are saying they still can't tackle right? 

[Guest Penny]

He's got a bunch of current fresh/sophs that he's impressed with... lots of em and he wants to take a look.  We've said this before, but the current sophs down through this year's 8th grade are loaded with as much talent as Nederland's ever had... time will tell if it translates to Friday nights.  But, my two cents is we haven't seen groups stacked together like this since the 99 - 02 season.

Good Luck to the Dogs this year, except for that one week !

[cornhusker]

Hey roughrider you have my permission to puke,maybe i will join you. We cannot stand to watch an extra week in the fall. Coach Neumann needs to whip the defense into shape now.

[smitty]

I think everyone knows what needs to be done.  But the question is: will he do it?  If not, well...

Again:  IMHO...

[Guest Brubaker]

Uuuhhhh... get tougher, that's what the man said?  Maybe you should drop Neumann a line on what he should do

[smitty]

Since there is a question mark after "said," and you are not sure, go and read it again.  That's exactly what the man said.  What's your suggestion for making them tougher?

Uuuhhhh... get tougher, that's what the man said?  Maybe you should drop Neumann a line on what he should do

[Guest Brubaker]

I never was tough, I still consider myself a part of EVERYONE, and you said EVERYONE knew what needed to be done.  I'm stupid, please enlighten me.  And I used periods this time to help out.
