HI_#20_Mom Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 You mean besides the best players in the nation?The national anthem and a moment of silence in which we all pray for the safety of the kids, no matter whose team they are on!It starts in Tank tops and Flip flops and ends with my breath in the air and my kid’s letterman jacket, if someone else doesn’t have it! It begins with hearts filled with pride and concludes with broken hearts for those seniors who are playing their last game!

TradinUp BH Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 I'm on a roll ;D Seriously, it's been a while, but I would say getting amped up to knock someone's **** in the dirt. At WB, we really thought in our heads that nobody could beat us and we had that swagger. The friends you make during those grueling days in the summer time every year and to be rewarded come Friday night when you defeat the other team. Enjoy, because it's over fast.
rmac Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 I am quite a bit older than most of the quys on here, but the memories are just like yesterday. I remember the adults would alway wear their Sunday best to the games. Men in dress shirt and tie. The victory dances in the school gym after the game and the cheers we would get when we walked into the gym. One of the things that comes to mind was going to the barbershop on Saturday morning and all the old men patting you on the back and telling great game, whether you had a great game or not. I think my fondest memory is of the guys I played with. Most of us still get together every year to celebrate those years. This last year at our 45th reunion the school had a pep rally for us to celebrate our state championships. Those years are something I will always cherish.

BADSANTA Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 I think of all the nights spent at the stadium cheering every play for my team to win. They thrill of victory and how on Saturday morning you go to the barbershop and listen how the old timers analize the game.

bh89-2 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Seeing the lights of an unfamiliar stadium light up the sky from a few miles away. Driving down a road your not sure goes to the stadium, but the lights are guiding your way. You roll the windows down to hear the drums and horns while the crisp air fills the car. As you get closer you can see the haze of the fall air creating a glowing ring around each light pole and hear the muffled sound of the announcer giving way to a loud cheer. The closer you get the faster your heart beats and the excitement takes over. Then, without warning you find you are at the wrong damn stadium, watching the wrong damn team, and they don't have jalapenoes for the nachose that are getting cold. Well the first part was inspiring. ;D ;D ;D

Guest ECBucFan Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 A totally clean BIG HIT that levels the running back with a "POP" so loud that it echos through the crisp cool air throughout the stadium! ;D
HI_#20_Mom Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 And everyone in the stands goes..UUUU! :D
ChampionEagles Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 Simply put, some of the greatest times of my life. Playing the game as a youngster(including wearing purple pants with a white Indian stripe down the leg even though we were Eagles, lol), watching my daughters become cheerleaders and then watching my son play and excel for two of the same coaches I played for, all in winning tradition that began when I played. Gives me goose bumps now just thinking about how lucky I am.
Squaw1 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 The Port Neches-Groves Indians; the fans; the fun; the wins and the melding of two great communities that we all call "home". Once an Indian, always an Indian.
