Back in the late '60s and early '70s this was a truly outrageous rivalry. The problem is that young people don't know how to limit their enthusiasm. I know because I was there. The schools were taking a lot of damage, PN-G's Totem Pole was cut down more than anybody could keep track of, a big 'N' was burnt in PN-G's field, we had PNG flags run up our flag pole and the rope cut. Now this all appears like fun but like I said young people don't know how to stay within bounds of good fun and out of line fun. Students started getting hurt simply because they were on the wrong side of the tracks! When you start counting the hospital visits then you have gone too far. Both schools got together and began working on taking this thing down a couple of notches, so those of you that think it should be more out there I just hope if you have children one of them don't end up with bumps on their head or worse.

I'd feel bad for you salivating over your desire to be in a rivalry with Nederland if your frustration from disappointment didn't make you so obnoxious. Move to Nederland, maybe you'll feel better. :) or better yet move to PNG, you'd probably fit right in!![/quote]First of all I have moved to PNG and your so called rivalry does not appeal to me at all. I have bad news, your so called rivalry exist merely on paper and history. The rivalry exist now only in the amount of people that you can get to put on their purple and black shirts and attend the game on friday. There is no hype, there is no build up of suspense between two communities fighting for bragging rights anymore. Its just an exchange of wins, (yep its Nederlands turn this year to win) in the shadows of what USED to be one of the states greatests rivalaries! Ive seen better plots than this played out in the pineywoods with 1A schools. blaaaahhh lol i laugh at your jealousy theory!![/quote]Well said sir! Very true as well.[/quote] both of your replies are just dumb. How can you say the rivalry isn't what it was? What WAS it before that it isn't now? When WAS that? the only difference between THEN and NOW ... is what exactly? Same stuff goes on, same passion, same trash talk, same attendance, same quality of teams,,, generally speaking. Some years both teams are good, some years neither teams are good. Same student participation, same old men talking about the history of the game at the donut shops.... I don't get your thoughts at all... As you guys say... Smh...[/quote]I was just there the other day and it didn't seem like much of a rivalry to me.[/quote]What most of you guys don't understand is how this rivalry has gone through the years. Back in the late '60s and early '70s this was a truly outrageous rivalry. The problem is that young people don't know how to limit their enthusiasm. I know because I was there. The schools were taking a lot of damage, PN-G's Totem Pole was cut down more than anybody could keep track of, a big 'N' was burnt in PN-G's field, we had PNG flags run up our flag pole and the rope cut. Now this all appears like fun but like I said young people don't know how to stay within bounds of good fun and out of line fun. Students started getting hurt simply because they were on the wrong side of the tracks! When you start counting the hospital visits then you have gone too far. Both schools got together and began working on taking this thing down a couple of notches, so those of you that think it should be more out there I just hope if you have children one of them don't end up with bumps on their head or worse.[/quote]You puppies should understand the term "sic 'em!" ;D ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheermom4 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I know last year many yard signs were broken beyond repair. Those things are not cheap either, a couple hundred dollars at least. That to me is uncalled for. I work hard for the things I have but then I would have pulled my sign up the week before MCM. I wouldn't have taken a chance of something happening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgnut Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 If you don't think this is still a rivalry, you should talk to the cleaning crew that has had to remove all the stuff from my office for the last 10 years, It has looked like a grape threw up all over the place.

Just saw some pictures on Facebook.Coach Burnett talked about the efforts he and Coach Neumann made to talk things down a few years ago in an interview because things had gotten so out of hand. Things aren't as bad as they used to be, but I know I woke up to find a few things kicked over in the front yard back in high school. I also remember the vandalism that took place at the high school my freshman year the week after MCM because we beat them that year, and it made what happened to Vidor this year look like a first grade arts and crafts exhibit.

Honest Abe Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Those outside of MC have never walked the halls of either school during the week of MCM. There is an event of some sort EVERY DAY. Most kids (and faculty) are involved, and the hype is in the air all week. Usually gets more heated closer to game day. For those of you who were in town Tuesday, I understand why you feel that way, bc not much happens on Mon, Tues, Wed night. I saw Facebook pics from both Ned and PNG people today with their kids dressed as 'nerds' from the opposing school. The rivalry is still very alive, trust us! ;)BTW-Cheermom's cooking stinks, and Bamakid throws like a girl! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndn2016 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 The only time Cheermom's cooking stinks is when she is cooking cabbage or chitlin's. The rivalry stuff has been stifled by PC mentality and zero tolerance policies. I've heard about the stuff in the 60's but the putting a Purple flag up the pole and cutting the rope is new to me. I like it. Kids in those days were more creative because they had to be. nowadays many of them or on ADD meds etc Couple that with all the electronic stuff and they aren't as interested. Although it would be funny if some computer nerd hacked in to the scoreboard or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
