[JB]

I'll make a post tomorrow; tonight, I'm exhausted!

Congratulations Indians!

10-0, and well deserved!

You are the MAN J.B. !! We will be waiting expectantly for your prediction!!

 

[shovelhead]

Congrats to the Indians and what can I say to JB? I have re-read his orignal post several times this season and agreed with him from day 1, however, it was my belief that 20-4A was too tough to make that prediction. I knew these coaches and this team was special since the spring game. I still find it hard to believe they are 10-0. WAY TO GO JB! Great call man! I am looking forward to your words of wisdom in the morning Obi-wan.. I mean JB! This is too cool. I'm too excited to go to bed!

First, let me apologize for not updating my “Bold Prediction” thread after the thrilling victory over Central. That was the most amazing sports related event I have ever witnessed. I felt a need to compose myself as not to loss credibility with an adrenaline induced post. I feel that I am now able to make a sound and conscience comment. Congratulations to our Indians for their undefeated run!

I hope that everyone is able to see what is truly going on in our PNG community. Each week we support our team and enjoy their success right along with them. We live our lives from “Friday to Friday.” Let me assure you that there is something much larger that underlies the success that we have enjoyed this year; momentum. That underlying momentum will propel PNG to unparalleled success for many years to come.

“A NEW BOLD PREDICTION”

PNG has three state championships to its credit. (1953, 1955, and 1975) That number will be doubled in the next ten years! I believe that PNG will win at least three state championships in the next decade. Two of the state titles will come in back to back years.

Now, I know that my “New Bold Prediction” will outlast this thread, so you will just have to remember that at 11:00pm on November 14, 2009 JB believed it to be so. Get ready PNG we are about to take a wild ride.

I hope you are right. 1953 was before my time. 1955 I wasn't yet a year old. I was unable to attend either of the state championship games because I had to work. So I missed it when we won in 1975. I was at the game against Stephenville when we lost. I would like nothing better to see our Indians in a state championship game and bring home the trophy. I hope that back to back prediction starts this year. I am ready for the ride and want to be the first one at gate to get on.

Way to go J.B.--You are the Man!! You are the Great Indian Oracle!! I agree 100% with your prediction. I too feel that special momentum going on in the community, and around the Reservation. I look forward to that long, special ride over the next few years.

As an outsider and an "enemy" to some PNG folks, I have to say I was extremely impressed and happy to see the renewed spirit in Indian Country this year. The past several years, I could just tell from the sound of many posts on here and in talking with some PNG folks that ya'll were in the doldrums and the purple spirit was waning, not only on the football field but in the community as well..It has been a major turnaround THIS year, in all areas. ANd I beleive most of that stems from the revitalization of your football/athletic program. Coach Faircloth IMHO has performed a 180 with PNG...kudos to him and his fine staff. Having a state ranked football team with an unbeaten record (and IMO a very real chance for contending for state) sure has a way of putting smiles on folks faces ;D . It appears that the entire communities have been uplifted which has been somewhat long overdue.

As an "enemy", I still wish PNG continued success and many blessings for years to come (with my usual caveat "with the exception of MCM!!!)

Peace neighbors...

You are right, JB. There IS a special feeling and community spirit going on right now. This is just a replay of what happened in the 70
s. Now, look around at any home game and you will always see lots of elderly fans. That's because they were there in the 50's and 70's and caught this "purple fever" and are waiting, not too patiently, for it to return. As I've been saying "I want another state championship before I die." Be kind to these old people, because if you are lucky you will be sitting in the same stands grousing and complaining and talking about the "good old days." We all want what I call "the Purple high". Unless you've been exposed to it, you won't understand.

Great post YankeeDawg ;D

yankeedawg? Enemy???? Uh, I DON'T THINK SO!

I 100% agree JB...trust me, our communities are not the only ones talking about PN-G! We went to the deer lease this weekend and my husband's cousin lives in Huntsville, and their team made the playoffs this year...4a as well. We've talked football a few times, but haven't really known much about us, aside from that's where we live. Well, as soon as I got out of my car, she came running up to me, and said..."I'm sure hoping we don't have to play yall in the playoffs cause we'll be getting our basketball shoes ready...lol"! She said she's been hearing so much about us, our fans, and traditions, and even though she really wants to see one of our games, they're not ready for their season to end quite yet ;D! I told her not to worry, cause they're Div I, so they get Central!

She did have one request to pass along from The Huntsville Hornets.....BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF BRENHAM!!!! They're big rivals...and Brenham beat Hunstville pretty bad this year! She said if Huntsville hadn't been playing next weekend, she would've gathered up a few friends and come cheer us on!
