The Icon Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 People from Nederland don't think they're better than anyone. Where would you get that idea?
smitty Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I hope Ned wins. But you can't hide the fact that Vidor has 3 rushers in the top 8 in the district. This is after playing PN-G and Central. And Ned's defense has basically been last all season.[quote name="Geaux25" post="689150" timestamp="1256788005"][quote author=vhs link=topic=61263.msg689046#msg689046 date=1256781722] but this years version of the Pirates is a little different than most years. [/quote]Heard this before.Each season...for the past 6 years.[/quote]

There are those Nederland folks, not all, that think they are just better than Vidor folks. [/quote]Funny, I talked to a guy today that graduated from Vidor in '82, and he said PN-G was always their biggest rival back then. To paraphrase his words: "We didn't care about any other thing except for beating Port Neches."And you need to relax, man. No one is subjecting you to any kind of inferiority complex.If you would read the whole thread, you will find that I responded to the "you people" comment with an apology as I didn't mean to offend anyone. However, facts are facts. 49-8-1 says a lot, Nederland has dominated this series, and I was just making a point towards that. These facts matter not come Friday night though.Vidor comes in as the favorite no doubt.
Vidor50 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 :)Get off Tinman, you talk about him the way you always talk about Vidor. OUR KIDS have played well this year and they should be allowed to play this Friday without people from Nederland trash mouthing their town, school and them also. Get a life Nederland, let the kids fight it out on the field and not here. You People sounds like you think your way better than anybody else around. I hope and pray we beat the HECKK out of the bulldogs this Friday. Go Pirates. >:(

James Mosley Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 [quote name="smitty" post="689035" timestamp="1256780962"]Well, James, my friend, this is taken out of the PN-G playbook. If Ned can get up by two or three touches then it will be difficult for Vidor to catch up. And I hope this will be the case. But, the question was about defense. Vidor has 3 of the top 8 rushers. Ned is 2nd to last in defense and has given up 1638 yards rushing. My point being: there's nothing in the past that shows Ned can control a good running attack. Central had 396 yards rushing against Ned. Someone brought up the Waller game. I believe Waller had close to, if not over, 400 yards total. That night it had more to do with Ned's offense. Plus the 1st game with everyone healthy, Ned gave up over 400 yards against WO-S. So, you are right, something's got to give. We'll see Friday night. I hope you are right.[quote author=James Mosley link=topic=61263.msg688986#msg688986 date=1256777485][quote author=smitty link=topic=61263.msg688809#msg688809 date=1256759427]I'm not sure Nederlands defense can stop Vidors running attack. If anyone thinks they can, what in the past 8 games gives you that belief? I'm willing to listen.[/quote]It's all about match ups, Nederland will flat out out score Vidor because of how the offense matches ups against Vidors defense, Vidor will then get way behind and try to go to a passing offense to try and make up ground and it will find itself even farther behind. There you go smitty, I pretty much explained how it will happen....Hope you enjoy the results Friday night...[/quote][/quote]Nederlands defense is playing better now, better than in the beginning of the season. Again smitty, my point is, Nederland won't be defending against the run late in the game. One more thing, Vidor could still put up 400 yards rushing tonight and lose by three touchdowns. hard to believe huh?

I never really looked at Vidor as being a rivalry but I know some people do. I still can't believe we lost to Vidor in 06. That was one great comeback for you guys. Shame there won't be enough time left this Friday night. lol
Cougtalk Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 GO Nederland your playoff hopes ride on these last couple games! (plus id rather play you than vidor in the first round) damn routing and putting down at same time i'ma bad Man.
Guest Penny Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 [quote name="smitty" post="688933" timestamp="1256774182"]Yes. But being at the bottom on defense will not win you very many games.

They have given up the second fewest points in district, a stat that catches some by suprise.

smitty Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 You are right, I guess, if you are 8-0. But look at the only 8-0 team and see what their stats look like. #1 in defense and #2 in offense. It usually goes hand in hand. It's rare, but not impossible, to be 2nd to last in offense and defense and be 8-0.
