I agree,
And you could add Albert Long to that list, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[bandkid]

I wouldn't know. I've heard about him and all he's done, but I never knew him.

How about some Indian Spirits on here. The heart and soul of our tradition and the leader of PNG Spirit. They are probably the most important mascots of any team to that community anywhere in Texas. Our Indian Spirit is a sight to behold. I have friends from out of the area who ask if I can get Pics for them with our Indian Spirit.

I’ve had this web site and message board up and running since you were probably 7 years old. Nearly a quarter century of writing stuff (2000-2023). I can’t remember to tell everyone everything.

I encourage everyone to explore pngindians.com. It’s a wealth of historical information about past PN-G football teams, players and other things including archives of past game coverage of area writers.

Yeah, I remember that. I don’t know who it was. Saturday mornings after an Indian win I could hear the horn as the car drove through Groves.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone remember the old days of purple and white crepe paper streamers, shoe polish on the car windows, and long lines of cars traveling down I-10?

Does anyone still do that and who started it?

Polish on the windows is still a thing, nice to see when driving to the game knowing your neighbors are all around you. That and the new tradition of Buccee’s takeover after the games!

The band's made a fundraiser out of the shoe polish on the windows this season.

Did the PN-G Indian Nation storm the Madisonville Buc-ee's on I-45 last year ?

Madisonville, Baytown and Waxahachie. It was a total takeover. Pictures were all over Facebook.

This is long overdue in this thread, but the answer is you, IndianFan, and I’m not just talking about maintaining this website. IYKYK.

That's a tough one to do and personal recognition has never been in the equation. But hopefully someday 'IndianFan' will at least be remembered as an alumnus who cared a lot and supported the program well. Knowing that a certain effort/influence turned into great results is particularly satisfying no matter what.
