Well the PA Snooze did not help at all by falsely reporting the game was SOLD OUT earlier in the week!  PNG admin office said there was a steady flow of ticket sales until that article came out.  They did fix the mistake but a little too late maybe.  I'm sure many tickets will be bought at the gate.

Win or lose the PNG fans show up through thick and thin. That has not changed in forever. Nobody and I mean nobody supports a football team like PNG in the golden triangle. Orangefield is the same way also. We support basketball better than PNG does.

Alumni that live in the Houston and surrounding areas will be out in full force once the games move away from the Golden Triangle area.  The fan support is there...  trust me.  8)

Agree....and whats more, if either PNG or Nederland are in the playoffs....fans from BOTH sides come out and support each other!  There'll be a HUGE crowd at the Butch tomorrow to watch PNG take on Willis.  Scalp 'em, Indians, Scalp 'em!

You know what they say...  "winning is the cure for everything"

If PNG makes the regional final and there's no improvement in fan support, i'll be surprised.

I live in Groves and trust me the fan base is not slipping.  Maybe the area support is slipping a little but not the district.  I havent went to any  PNG games lately and trust me game time im the only person left on the block.  Its a ghost town.  Which brings up a good thought!!!!   Anyone for a block party?  I"ll have the neighborhood all to myself tonigt!!!!

There DEFINITELY was no "slippage" tonite!  PNG fans out in masses!  Will be even more fans next week at Stallworth....all the PNG alumni in the Houston area will be there as well.

I think what irritates me about this thread is, instead of trying to be negative about our area teams in the playoffs, we should be supporting them...not trying to tear them down! Reading through these posts, I doubt very seriously the "negative" ones have EVER been to a PNG game to begin with.  PNG will have the fan support, no matter if they're winning or not.  Invite you all to come to Stallworth and see for yourselves.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
