LFG!!! Less than 29 hours to Kick-Off!!!

A bunch of unknowns, but I like our chances. Nederlands lack of offense definitely plays in our favor. I think with our ground game we can come up with a good enough game plan to win. Pressure is all on them and we are at our house..

 

[prepballfan]

Great work. Thanks for the cool info

 

[IndianFan]

Keep in mind that these records are across all classifications over recorded history. That’s over 1100+ schools. In the case of district championship rankings, multiple schools may share the same number but overall, relative ranking is accurate. PNG’s total is equal to the 17th highest number of championships. Record source is the legendary Texas football historian Joe Lee Smith. Last time I spoke with him he was very familiar with and a fan of PNG football history.

People forget what an amazing history this school has. The mantra of Honor, Pride, Tradition are very real.

I have to work tomorrow night so Ill be listening to Lance and Francis over on 92.5. They have really become very good at covering the games for us.

 

[IndianFan]

And to Nederland's credit their history is not too shabby either. But they are still little brother when it comes to Mid-County football lore and accomplishments. Good luck to both teams tomorrow night. And Scalp 'Em Indians!

Definitely but it boils down to some simplicities. Execute your assignment, win the battle against the man in front of you, hang on to the ball, avoid infractions and execute each play like it’s the most critical of the game. One play at a time, 100% effort.

Good luck Indians

Do Nederland fans still bark like they used to?

I wonder if any of the players still growl and snarl.

Always got a good laugh out of both.

For all you Midcounty sports fans I want to announce that Buck Ford has a Southeast Texas Pod Cast site. If you go to www.Wrinklefordcreativearts.com you can hear it. It is filled with Nederland and Port Neches football stories . This week it features how the 1974 PNG Indians advanced past Bi District for the time since the 1955 team won state . It is called Down Trails of Victory. They interview Leon Fuller. Wade Phillips, Matt Burnett ,Barbara Comeaux, Jeff Bergeron and others .

 

[IndianFan]

I have listened to both coach Burnett’s and Jeff Bergeron’s interview. I will just say that listening to these men and the stories of PN-G lore and history is solid gold. It made me remember long ago times and reinforced how special those times were. It was like sitting around a camp fire or table listening to great family stories being passed down to younger generations. Coach Burnett lived, breathed and bled purple and white all his life and still does. He talks about growing up on Riffle street between the river and stadium and about the Port Neches community and it was like going back in time to a better place. He is still the quintessential PNG Indian and always will be. The community needs this man and others like him to always be a part of things.

Jeff Bergeron spoke for over 3 hours about his amazing football career but even more impressive was his character and commitment to his family, the district and community.

These two men are builders of the community and traditions that we all covet. They are part of living history and we better honor and appreciate it as long as we all can.

I plan to listen to all the podcasts. It is good for the heart and soul. At least for those of us that bleed purple and white. These interviews capture the history that we never want lose or forget and will make it possible for future generations to hear it. Maybe they will pick up on the pride and work ethic needed to become greater than they thought possible.

Thanks to Dr. Ford and Brad Burnett for hosting these podcasts and thank to the men and women who shared their memories.

One thing that’s special about this game for both sides is the great crowds. Neither school ever plays in front of a full stadium unless it’s the Bum Phillips Bowl.

 

[IndianFan]

Kickoff is near. Let’s go Indians!
