PN-G Indians - 2023 5A-DII State Champions!

From the UIL Store website -
"NOTE: You (the purchaser) must save all digital downloads onto your computer or storage device. With each purchase you are granted access to digital items for 1 year or 5 downloads, whichever occurs first. The UIL can not reverse that counter, so you (the purchaser) are responsible for saving these digital files."

So. yes, I'm sure the 1 year access refers to how long you will be able to download the file.

It’s still a bit disingenuous for them to have that policy. The storage costs would be trivial and so this sounds like nothing more than a way to gouge customers who might lose their copy.

I also don’t know what the “5 downloads” means. 5 download “attempts”? Download to 5 different devices (i.e., maximum of 5 copies)? Does file have DRM mechanism that prevents transfer to DVD (most likely it does)?

Ok I may have to get someone to show me how to do that. Ha

Ok I may have to get someone to show me how to do that. Same here!

In past years, we would at times have a good defense, but they always allowed big plays which killed us. This defense of the past 2 years did a much better job of keeping plays in check ... we would still occasionally give up the big play, but it wasn't very frequent.

I D/L the game today. Pretty easy. But you have to access it through your email and not your receipt.

does anyone know how big a flash drive I would need to download the State game ? Is there new technology out there that would work better?

 

[IndianFan]

Your best bet is to download it directly to your computer and then transfer it over to a flash drive afterward. That would reduce any chance of a download hiccup and should be faster. Any quality solid state portable or flash drive should do the job. Someone who has downloaded it can tell you the file size. I make backups of files and store in multiple locations in case the hardware fails.

Excellent article right here on preparation when no one is watching so the mistakes don't happen when everyone is watching--life for PNG post title. https://www.texasfootball.com/artic...made-them-champions?ref=article_preview_title

Great article. This also describes the mentality and success in the 70s as well. Hard work, preparation, execution and going above and beyond. All of the above positioned the team to beat bigger, faster opponents.

I have a greater appreciation for Coach Joseph the more I learn about him. And this article clarifies something many of us have known or suspected for a long time about our preparation. It’s not all about X’s and O’s!

Absolutely. Football has always been about matchups. About beating the man across from you or whoever your responsibility is on any given play. When a player knows his responsibility and wins the 1-1, good things are going to happen. If 11 players do that on the same play, great things happen. Take that to the next level with players who go beyond responsibility and make amazing plays, and you have champions. Trickery and schemes try to gain advantage over the other team, but fundamental, great play will trump that. It’s always been that way, and I am also glad that Coach Joseph and McDaniel are establishing and engraining those basic concepts again.

What a great story we are all living through. To be honest I didn’t know if anything could ever top the 70’s 4-year run. Fast forward to 2022-23 and it has. And it’s not over yet.

I don’t care what the haters think or say. There is not a better representation of Texas football than PN-G. Of course there are bigger winners and actual dynasties like Carthage, Westlake, Southlake Carroll, Katy, Northshore, Celina, Refugio, Mart and others. But none represent like the PN-G Indians. What great times.

PNG is the pinnacle of HS football
It’s the reason that no matter where I go my hobby has been HS football

From Texarkana to Marshall/Longview to La to Houston
No one does it (on the whole planet) like PNG

 

[Usedtocould]

I’m joking sort of

But you guys who live there

Never let one of the assistant coaches pay for a meal at a restaurant lol

Make it worth their while to be in a secondary role in a football town.

If Port Neches and Groves don’t treat these guys like football royalty, someplace else gladly will. And it’s not just football. PN-G has outstanding coaches in every sport, but football is king.

I don’t know as much about Groves, but living in Port Neches is at an entirely different level than when I was growing up and before I left. Downtown and the riverfront have added a lot of good options.

 

[Usedtocould]

Agree 100%
But no other sport but football pays the coach what football does
They’re all teachers with a stipend.
So yes
The basketball coach probably needs it even more ha

BUT
the assistant coaches have more incentive to take the head coaching job somewhere else.

What is Joesph’s salary?

Just wait. Give it about ten more years, and some of that suburban Houston money is gonna start hitting Jefferson County.
