Next Game: PNG vs Texas High

[tony79]

Their stadium only seats 7500. Maybe 3750 on the home side minus band and students. That’s 3000 tops.

That's all the admirers they need to put on the show. Until things get tough and then what? Seems like they may have fragile egos.

I can't add to what's already been said here, or to what I've already said on the other SETX site. Need good intensity like last Thursday, good pass rush, limit the motion penalties, etc. I like being the underdog in this one, and hope that the Nederland comparison sticks in their heads.
Some of our guys have been stepping up lately, and I like that. I wish like heck that I could be there, but I'll be watching on line instead. But I'll make a deal, if we win this one, then I'll be at the next one, Hell or high water.

And btw, if we win this one then I think that we'll be playing Marshall. Marshall will beat SOC I think.

Speaking of attendance. Fan attendance can very well make a difference in this game. Both teams are good and this game will likely be decided by "the little things". A full PNG house could be the "Shock and Awe" that tilts the game for PNG. Turpin stadium seats only 15,971. It would be awesome if 8,000 Indians sshowed up. If PNG doesn't win this game there will be no more chances to show off the Indian Spirit this year. That would be a shame beacause there is nothin else like it in High School Footbal. Call as many fans as you can and emphasize how important this game is. Trade shifts with non-PNGers, lean on your bosses to let you off early and do whatever else is necessary to show up. The PNG football team can't see or feel you if you aren't at the game. (I have been a PNG Indian since 1955 and I hope the Indian Spirit goes on and on and on.}

This game should have been played on a Saturday.

Something to remember about Nederland. The Bulldogs had a 4+ hour bus ride to that game. The Tigers had a thirty minute drive or less from the house. Very different than this situation where both teams will be making a 2-3 hour trip.

Basically, what it comes down to is Nederland brought their absolute BEST game into The Rez to pull off the biggest MCM upset in a LONG time and left it there…LITERALLY!! We’ve seen that happen many times over the years! That’s WHY it’s called Mid County MADNESS! Nederland just had NO fight left in them when they rolled into Texarkana emotionally deflated after back to back losses and drained from a 7 hour bus ride!! Meanwhile, the INDIANS have continued to improve, stayed FOCUSED on the MISSION and prepared to give TX High all the FIGHT they can handle and then some!!

Can't read the article because it's behind a pay wall, which I was unable to 'scale', but here's the story headline in the Texarkana gazette.
