Roughrider Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 Bamakid, for Gods sake, you are in college. Shouldnt you be chasing poodypoo all around campus instead of writing essays on your hometown message board. You are arguing with bored middle aged men who have nothing better to do than yank your chain. Chill out my man. Its all good. 8)
outanup Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 Had some people recognize me once, said they had seen my picture at the Post Office......

I travel the state of Texas every month and outside of sets, nobody knows who PNG is. Most people in Houston don't even know. Coaches put in for jobs to scare their schools to give them more money. ie. Dahner and Liberty Hill coach when PNG job was open, and Neuman a couple years ago with applying at LaMarque.[/quote]Then you must be meeting different people than I am, because I've met people who do in New York, Washington, Florida, here in Tuscaloosa, and in several places across Texas, including Lubbock, Austin and San Antonio.

I drive 3000 miles a month around Texas and almost every town you can think of. I promise you, your exaggerating. Come on man, PNG has some neat traditions, but it's just another high school.

I'm just telling you, I have met people in all of those places that have either pulled me aside because I was wearing something purple or asked me where I was from and knew exactly what I was talking about when I told them. Many also knew about TJ and WO-S and a few even knew about Nederland.[/quote]I said the miles to make point. It's really a silly argument.

You picking arguments with kids about who may or may not have heard of PNG, coupled with throwing how many miles you drive across Texas should make you fit in perfectly in Barbers Hill. "TradinUp" ?

mytwocents-28 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 PNG known worldwide? Now that's funny. Might wanna take off the purple glasses there bamakid.

12gage Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 You guys from png amaze me, breaking your own arms from slapping yourself on your own back!
kicker Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 Just for giggles, I went to the Notre Dame Camp in between my Junior and Senior year of HS. That fist day on the field, I was wearing my flying WOS shirt (Just the letters, WOS, no name or mascot) and a Notre Dame coach walked up to me and said "your from West Orange-Stark. Now, this is a college coach that has probably scouted SETX many times. Just making a point that recognizing a school from far away might not be so far fetched. The funniest time was when I lived in Forney. I went to the Wal Mart in Rockwall with a Mustangs shirt on. Didnt get a very nice welcome from a man. LOL This was a few years ago, but he told me that was the last time they had made the playoffs. '87

I travel the state of Texas every month and outside of sets, nobody knows who PNG is. Most people in Houston don't even know. Coaches put in for jobs to scare their schools to give them more money. ie. Dahner and Liberty Hill coach when PNG job was open, and Neuman a couple years ago with applying at LaMarque.[/quote]Then you must be meeting different people than I am, because I've met people who do in New York, Washington, Florida, here in Tuscaloosa, and in several places across Texas, including Lubbock, Austin and San Antonio. And yes, many people in Houston, particularly people 40 and up who remember PN-G's numerous trips to the Astrodome.[/quote]You live in Alabama. I drive 3000 miles a month around Texas and almost every town you can think of. I promise you, your exaggerating. Come on man, PNG has some neat traditions, but it's just another high school. Once you get past Baytown, nobody cares who PNG is. Just saying. 70's are over. You weren't even born. Lol[/quote]Ok, you drive 3000 miles a month. Cool. I'm just telling you, I have met people in all of those places that have either pulled me aside because I was wearing something purple or asked me where I was from and knew exactly what I was talking about when I told them. Many also knew about TJ and WO-S and a few even knew about Nederland.[/quote]I said the miles to make point. It's really a silly argument. Remember I just moved from Port Neches, so I know all about what is talked about in the PN and Groves communities.Good luck to y'all.[/quote]Good luck in Barbies Hill. You picking arguments with kids about who may or may not have heard of PNG, coupled with throwing how many miles you drive across Texas should make you fit in perfectly in Barbers Hill. "TradinUp" ? Um.... Yeah, I'm holding my hand over my mouth trying not to giggle at that.[/quote]For the last time, the miles were said to make the point. Really don't to explain to you the reason, but I'm trying to keep it elementary for you. The name came from taking a poll when we moved what the name should be. It's all in good fun. I wasn't dissing PNG, but I can promise you I lived for a long time and could. Let's just keep it simple. If your a kid and get on here and make a blanket statement, then be ready to back it up. You must be Bamakids dad. Let it go. ;D ;D[/quote]That, sir, is an insult, because it implies that California is in my heritage. That's even worse than [b]living in [/b] Barbers Hill. ;DNo offense, Cal2Tex.[/quote] ;D It was a joke Bamakid. Good luck to the NDNS the rest of the season. I changed it for you. ;)
PhatMack19 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 I have a strategy question about Faircloth. He has always had the philosophy that no one will play both ways. This may work at a big school with tons of players, but shouldn't you try to get your best athletes on the field? I know Nederland has at least 4 guys that play both ways and some others that rotate in. Vidor does the same. I was told that PN-G currently only has 15 guys that play defense. That is no where near enough bodies and depth IMO and is a big reason they give up so many points.Any thoughts on this? Is Faircloth just being hardheaded and not adapting? I personally would try to have my best athletes on the field at all times, but what do I know.

[/quote]This was explained a few years ago and I don't remember exactly what was said, but I think it was because of two reasons. The first was the potential for injury. If one of the players who plays both ways gets hurt, you've lost two starters instead of one. The other is stamina. I don't think Coach Faircloth likes wearing down starters that much.Now I tend to agree that we might need to play some kids both ways. We're not a 5A program with talent in every crevice and this year has been particularly rough. But Faircloth has been very successful three of his four years here so far, so if he thinks what he's doing is working for him, I'm not going to argue it.

[/quote]Talking about adapting, what about running the spread when you dont have the kids to the run the spread. Or, running QB sneaks on 4th in 1 in the spread... I think he is set in his ways. Nederland has adjuted and now has a blend, which I think helps our team overall.

I never said it was the top job in the state, only that there's a reason 52 applicants, including some of the state's most successful coaches, applied for the job in 2008.
