Plumnelly Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Let's hear about some of the memorable upsets in this great rivalry
pngfan1 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I don't know that it was considered an upset by everyone but in 1998 all the papers and most people didn't believe we could win but won 28 - 7. This was Dustin Long's junior season and he had been very successful passing all year to the Coburn twins. Ned pretty much came in to stop Long and the Coburn's, we ran most of the night and Bo Wortham had one of his better games of his career. Pretty much saw a replay of the same situation next year with Wortham again being the deciding factor. Those are the only two years of Neumann vs. Burnett that I felt Burnett outcoached him.
Bigdog Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Probably when Ned broke their win streak in 84.
pngfan1 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Probably when Ned broke their win streak in 84. That was a big moment, but I didn't see it as an upset. It was a lot like this season only, we were injury bitten and on our third QB. In 1984 I didn't see us having much of a chance that year.
CowboysNIndians Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I remember a game in 1992 or 93. Nederland had just gone out and hired a young up and comming coach who said he would revive the "Black Knights of the Neches" , teams from the 1950's era. Just before game time, the doggies changed uniforms to all black and ran out ready for a fight. Final score PNG 56 Ned 0.... Bobby August was gone soon after.

I would say, the 99 game, Nederland had that elusive district championship in sight, and PNG dominated them.
thetragichippy Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 When the drinking age was raised to 21 in 1986 ;D
EX-Ceauxch Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I remember that in 86'..I was in 6th grade, but it was a bummer for us too!!!
WeedBegone Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I remember that in 86'..I was in 6th grade, but it was a bummer for us too!!! I bet waiting until the 8th grade seemed like an eternity. LOL
prepballfan Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Its kinda hard to call any loss an upset in this series they usually play close games even when the teams arent not evenly matched
