[BMTSoulja1]

H-J by 10

If Nederland's athletes were not playing football...  H-J by 6.

Small correction Lazeek. Its highway 365 out of Nederland and then turns into 326 I believe.

Rebounding and turnovers are the key to this one. I think Ned has a small edge in both and wins by 5.

OK Dove- I know how much pride you take in your "predictions"-  Go ahead and project the rebounding advantage for Nederland that you keep mentioning.

Since you posted a response that did not answer my request, I now know how little faith you must have in your rebounding prediction.

HJ by 15........da dove is incorrect on this one...

We are thinking alike again there PoppaBear!

[bullets13]

HJ wins 78-74... In OT.  if i somehow get that right, you guys all owe me a beer.

[bullets13]

is this one being broadcasted?  i'm at the deer lease.

[stevenash]

yes- lazeek will be broadcasting

I would make a terrible announcer.  Plus I have to concentrate on the game and don't care to have any conversations while it is being played.  Additionally, announcing would reduce my ability to sometimes, "politely suggest" to the refs that they made an erroneous call.  Poppabear and Lazeek are  more than adequate.

[BLUEDOVE3]

I just saw several of the Nederland players checking out some other games in town. I told them not to make me look bad tonight.  Their look reassured me I have nothing to worry about tonight.

[stevenash]

Does that mean we lose by less than 20 or more than 20?  If that teams players are out running around time this close to game time, it is obvious they are quite confident of the outcome.  I just hope HJ can make a decent showing.

Don't be hatin' Dove. You have to realize that we've been excited because we've not been very good at basketball over the past...ummm 55 years or so. Kinda like how Lumberton had a good football team a few years ago, and Vidor in FB this year.

Nash-You and I know this will not be a 15-20 point victory for either team. Stop trying to get the HJ players fired up so much.  ;)
BTW-The results of this poll show that people are split to the outcome of this game (as i predicted).  8)

THe "poll" sample is not large enough to be trusted.  Plus, one cannot assume that the participants are voting with their heads instead of their hearts.  If we take a "poll" on this board about who is going to be president, I doubt it will be accurately predictive.  I have to try and fire up the players because DA DOVE, in all of his splendor, has predicted a loss for them.

So because we vote Nederland, it means we are voting with our hearts, not heads? ::)

In have seen this group play a ton of games together, and know they can compete with and beat alot of very good teams

[BLUEDOVE3]

see what kind of arrogance I have been putting up with thse. years dogs. They really think they can beat the dogpound. Now you see it for yourselves.

Dogs- You could not be more INCORRECT- My point was that when you are trying to analyze statistics ( I do that for a living) you have to have a decent sized sample in order for it to have any credibility.  When I say voting with hearts and not heads, that is a reference to BOTH sides and therefore suggests that the data is not as analytical as it should be.  The fact that you have seen a group play a lot has ZERO bearing on the validity of the "poll".  For all we know, those votes could have been executed by junior high kids(once again from both schools) fooling around, etc. etc.  Nederland may beat HJ by 20 ( mop the floor style) or they might lose by 20.  I am suggesting that the "poll" gives no accurate insight into what is going to happen.  Therefore, dont make assumptions before making sure you completely understand the situation.

Sounds like somebody is cranky ???

Listen, I have very little insight on HJ. Seen them play once or twice this summer. Prudholme is a beast. The Bosha can shoot.

Nederland has played AAU teams this summer that are as good or better than HJ and won.

I feel confident with picking Nederland to win, but wouldnt be surprised if HJ wins at home.. Lots of guys getting varsity for the first time on the road at a very loud gym.

Going to be a very good game

Its interesting that you say you know very little about HJ but know which AAU teams from the summer are better than they are.  Anyway, we will all have an answer in about 4 hours.  The freshman game is a toss up, the jv game Nederland wins by whatever amount they want to win and the varsity is too close to call.  And if my perception about the HJ varsity is correct, I believe they are better than you perceive them to be.

Never said HJ isnt good, just saying these teams from the summer are made of big 5A and 4A teams combined and we played very well
