Over/Under Time!!!!!!

[GoBigBlue1997]

Its that time of the year again!!!!  20-4A district play is a week away and now with nearly 1/3 of the season behind us, time to look ahead.  So, here we go!

We will start with low expectations and work up...okay begin:

Lumberton - O/U we score 30 points all season long.  Right now we currently have 8 points through 3 games.  With the meat of the schedule still to go through, I am taking the Under in this one.  I am even factoring that we will most likely be playing the 2's and 3's  in the 2nd half.

Staying in Lumberton:

O/U 2.5 times Lumberton will be the Homecoming opponent.  Lumberton has 4 district road games this year.  I am taking the Over on this one, I believe PN-G, Vidor and LC-M will host Lumberton as their Homecoming opponent.

Moving to Mid-County:

PN-G - O/U 2 district wins this year - We know they wil beat Lumberton and look good doing it.  They will probably beat LC-M the following week, so it will be a long two weeks of "We turned things around!", "We will probably go three rounds deep!" and "Coach Faircloth is a God and I am his loyal servant". Then they will travel to Bmt and their world comes crashing back down.  I am going with a push on this one.

Nederland - O/U 1 district loss this year - The force is strong with this one.  Only 1 Tough road game @ Vidor, there is MCM and then their at home against the other contenders.  This could easily be a push, but I will take the under.  Their team is nasty on defense and I love defense!

Traveling to B.F.E.:

Livingston - O/U 2 hours to get there without stopping and eating - 4 district home games this year, which means SETX will be doing some late year traveling.  Construction Work and speed traps have really made this trip even that more enjoyable (especially with small kids)!!!  I am going over on this one!

Coming back home:

Vidor - O/U 3rd place finish in district - They get Nederland at home but have to go to the "Butch" twice in three weeks.  I believe they are going to lose 2 of those three games.  This will be a push but they will go 1st in the small school division.

Speaking of "Butch":

Ozen - O/U 100 people leave the stands to get concessions at half time - There is only one game all year that I can dont have to wait in line at the concession stand at half time and that is when we play the Ozen Panthers.  Most entertaining half time performances bar none.  Imagine 10,000 people at a football game, now imagine 10,000 people dancing on bleachers!  All I hear in my mind is Mystical: OOOHHHH It aint my Fault!  Did I do that? It aint my fault!!

Thats it for now... be sure to reply back with your Over/Unders.  Most of us (well half, it used to be most) only have 7 more weeks of football to enjoy!

You are already wrong on one of your "over/unders". Lumberton will only be one 20-4A teams homecoming game. LCM hosts Lumberton for their homecoming. PNG has Ozen for it's homecoming, Vidor has PNG for it's homecoming and Ozen has Vidor for it's homecoming.

Oh, so I will take the under on that category. ;)

Mind boggling... :D  All that was determined before season started. Maybe next year.

Im not sure what you mean... the season started a month ago.  We have already played 3 games.  You must not have been following.  Do I need to bring you up to speed with what has happened so far???  Now if you are calling District play the "season", I understand, but are you really expecting anything that much different than what we have seen so far?  If you are, I would love to hear some insight as to why you believe that.  I would love some silver lining right now!

I believe he is referring to your over/under on Lumberton being someone's homecoming opponent. Those schedules were determined before the season started. Anyone could have figured out the over/under on that by simply looking at the schedules. It is 1 total, far from the 2.5 and your predicted 3. ;) ::)

You are obviously wrong on that prediction.

To be honest... yes... I am expecting improvement. Changes are made before district starts, positions changed, adjustments made. Some of these players have never even played Varsity before...takes some getting use to. Thats what preseason is for. Some teams will be in a whole different place come mid season.

but in the post above...i was referring to homecoming games. I dont know about other districts...but I haven't really noticed schools scheduling easy games in our district. Its all about the crowd and the vibe of the event.

Awwww, ok.  I missed that one entirely... I have seen similar post in other threads about the season not being started, so I just assumed she was making that same reference here.  Either way, that was more meant to be a joke than anything.

So, you must be referring to ya's QB change???  I hope that works out for you, havent heard anything like that over here though, so more of the same for us I guess.  The goal of every team is to get better each week, have you seen that so far?  I havent.

The last couple of seasons we have come out slow and took some games to get rolling...so we shall see. Are you a Nederland fan?

[TradinUp BH]

Actually PNG has had good success against the Beaumont schools recently. PNG had a decent team last year and lost to Livingston and Nederland I think in district. My point is, I think PNG makes the playoffs maybe as #4. I think they atleast beat one of the Beaumont schools, LCM, Lumberton, and possibly Livingston or Vidor. Don't see them beating Nederland. I'm taking the over with them going 4-3 in district and making playoffs. Remember they played SC and WOS in pre-district (Got hammered), b ut those two teams are probably one of the better teams in SETX. They lose to Vidor, Nederland, Ozen

1. Nederland (Undefeated district)
2. Vidor (loses to Nederland)
3. Ozen (Loses to Vidor and Nederland) (push with PNG)
4. PNG  See Ozen (Push with Ozen)
5. Livingston Loses to all above or maybe beats one to get in
6. Central  Loses too many to get in at #4
7. LCM District struggles continue
8. Lumberton 0 district wins

After Nederland and Vidor, I would think most people would say it's wide open for the last two spots.

[GoBigBlue1997]

Isnt it ironic that PN-G started out 0-2 in district the past two years and made the play-offs and this year will probably start out 2-0 in district and not make the play-offs. 

[NDNation]

Ironic...last season we beat Ozen and Vidor and turn around and get knocked out in the first round, while those teams go 3 rounds deep.

I firmly believe that if you hadn't had faced Dayton in the first round that yall would've went just as far as Ozen, us, and Nederland.

Thats what playoffs is all about... They played Dayton due to their season record...You cant change that factor


as for determining how season is going before district starts... That is rediculous.... Someone correct me if im wrong but in 2000 Vidor started the season 0-5 before rallying back to end 5-5 and make play-offs....lost first round to nederland but thats not the point ;D
