NedDog Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 I would hope that Ned's players & coaches appoach this game from the aspect of being the underdog, despite what GP says. We always seem to perform at our best in that role.
unlikelyfbfan Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 What a classy coach. I don't care what anyone says about GP - their coaching staff is doing an unbelievable job with those kids and without the obvious fan support. Best of luck to them in the playoffs.
tvc184 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 GP is not the underdog but their coach sure wants to sell it that way. It is just smart coaching to get his team pumped and maybe get the other team overconfident. It is the opposite of what is normally called bulletin board material. The opposing coach comes in groveling to make it look like his team doesn't even belong. Smart move but GP is not the underdog.
Guest LCM Volleyball Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 Yea i saw where GP beat Channelview in Non District, Channelview just beat West Brook. Should be a good one though, good luck.
Guest etbu Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 That's why I have high regard for Coach Z and the rest of his staff. He is in a inner city school making a huge difference in many mens lives. I saw them last year in the spring and was impressed with their talent along with great character. GO JACKETS
SFA85 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 I wouldn't consider GP an inner city school by any stretch. Just started winning a couple of years ago when an assistant from Northshore took the job. What I find strange is how in a ISD as small as GP(area) can you have 1 schoo with 1800 kids and the other with damn near 3600. Talk about a lopsided student assignment plan....

dme1111 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 I used to live there. Galena park is a relatively poor area, while North Shore is more of a highly populated upper middle and middle class area. I don't understand why they are not two different school districts, It is really spread out over a large area.
Guest etbu Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 Just good to see GP doing well living in the shadows of NS. School has alot of history and pride in all their programs. Have some very nice facilites and you should see their weight room. :shock:
baddog Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 From the moment I read the headline, I had the same reaction as tvc184. It's a mental check for the Bulldogs to get them overconfident. Neumann is too smart for this type of head game. He will have his players ready and fired up because there are no second chances in the playoffs and you take no prisoners.

Smart move but GP is not the underdog. :shock: so what are you saying now, the 3rd place team in 22-4a is the underdog to the 3rd place team in 21-4a? :roll:
baddog Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 :shock: so what are you saying now' date=' the 3rd place team in 22-4a is the underdog to the 3rd place team in 21-4a? :roll:[/quote'] An 8-2 team should be considered the favorite over a 5-5 team, even though our records put both of us at 3rd in our respective districts.
xomerlin Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 but GP plays in a WEAK district and Nederland doesnt :roll:
baddog Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Well, that is a matter of opinion, and may be true, but to derive the underdog, you go by records.
gringo Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Well that is certainly the opinion of 90% of the posters on this board.
Guest etbu Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Hey Gringo you going to this game? I will be there on the GP side if you decide to go and others pm and let’s meet up.
bh89-2 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 I hate to spoil Nederland's party, but if you take GP lightly your not going to like the result. They have a very efective offense and despite having trouble defensively, may just very well outscore you. I say GP by 1 TD.
Guest Nederland Bulldogs Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Your right. We won't take them lightly. They have beaten some good teams especially back in Non District.
tvc184 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 I hate to spoil Nederland's party' date=' [b']but if you take GP lightly your not going to like the result. They have a very efective offense and despite having trouble defensively, may just very well outscore you. I say GP by 1 TD. Have you looked back at the Nederland posts from this thread? We have all said that we are the underdog not GP. That underdog roll is just a word game by a smart coach. He doesn't want to give Nederland any incentive and maybe make them overconfident. In any case, it doesn't matter what the fans on this site believe, it is what the players think when they take the field. I don't think the Bulldog players are hitting the field Saturday night thinking that they are the favorites against an 8-2 team from any district.
Guest etbu Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Who is the home team? See you Nederland fans tonight and looking forward to watching your team.
NedDog Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 I think Ned will be the home team tonight. I hope you have a safe trip to/from the game tonight etbu.

The opposing coach comes in groveling to make it look like his team doesn't even belong. Smart move but GP is not the underdog. Thats exactly right! Its totally evident what he is doing. Reminds me of Lou Holtz when he was at Notre Dame. He used to go on TV, with fake tears in his eyes, all worked up and crying that ND really had no chance vs. 0-9 Navy (or whatever). That all worked until one day a reporter with the mike still on, wandered up near the ND huddle and Holtz was trashing his next opponent, telling his team they were gonna totally smear the bums on Sat. BUNCH OF MIND GAMES! Don't fall for it Ned! Good luck Dogs!
NedDog Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 LOL, that's a funny story. Thanks for the support BucFan.
