All of the rebels could just go with an x-wing fighter or something on the helmet...

FYI, WOS also announced that they didn't want their defense referred to as The Chain Gang any more.  In the comments section of the DCTF article on Facebook, hundreds of middle-aged white men around the state completely lost their shit over this news.

Oh, and this is the petition they started to keep the name:

  Quote

 

We, the people of Port Neches, Texas are fed up with the left wing nut jobs who are trying to destroy the United States of America in the name of "social justice".  We will not give in to these mobsters who are demanding that the Port Neches, Texas mascot, an Indian, be removed from our school and for us to change our name.

This has been our mascot for a very, very long time. Now, with all this insanity of tearing down statues, assaulting our first amendment rights, and erasing our country's history, these clowns believe now is a good time to push their agenda.

Let's spread the word and share this everywhere and demand that our mascot not be touched.  Enough is enough. God bless America.

Also, I'm 99% sure that the guy who started the above petition is who we used to call Indian Ken, because he always wears full Indian garb and a full-length headdress to all the games. Basically a real-life Buddy Garrity.

most likely, the game you're talking about would've been one of either Houston Kashmere, San Antonio Churchill, or Spring Branch Stratford as those are the three teams we routinely would meet when we were on our run to either state or state semifinals in 1974 through 1979.

I went to a high school in the same district as Stratford. So I guess it could have been Memorial, Stratford or Westchester. Stratford did pretty well when they had that running back who killed 5 hookers.

I'm still waitin for the fightin' Irish to get pulled into this...I'm sure their President is in the corner "please don't look this way, please don't look this way"

Along the petrochemical theme, the PNG Flares?

The Blast?  that's too soon, I have friends that live several miles from Merriman that still can't open their windows because the explosion shifted their full brick house, and shattered the rafters in their attic.

The Tugboats?

to Kyrie's point, lol at what would happen if they chose bulldogs.

Yeah I'll have to look back to see who wrote that (about the bulldogs) but I wasn't sure if they were being serious or not.

Wife is a PNG grad as is most of her extended family.  I personally think the whole name change game has gone too far, but I have gotten some pleasure out of seeing everyone get their uppity panties in a wad over this.

But I'd be pissed because I'm a proud Monsignor Kelly HS Bulldog from Beaumont, but I don't have a dog in that particular fight.

Surprising based upon the ethnically diverse student body:

Enrollment by Race/Ethnicity

African American 0.0%  Hispanic 3.5% White 92.4% American Indian 0.0% Asian 0.0% Pacific Islander 0.0% Two or More Races 4.2%

Ha - Last time I smelled  drove through Evadale there were still businesses flying the confederate flag.  I doubt much has changed with the aroma of the mill or the attitude of the population.

That was me.  My parents graduated PNG in the late 60s.  My brothers and I graduated Nederland in the late 80s, early 90s.  I'm perfectly serious.  

My brother asked my dad, who worked at Gulf/ Chevron for a long time, what chemical accounts for the smell near the PNG high school.  He said it's butadiene and suggested that the drill team could be known as the Butadienettes.  

I would like to see them adopt a unique nickname with a local flair like Gators, Alligator Gar, Pelicans or some shit.  It's their chance to give themselves any name they want so it'd be a shame if they chose Eagles or Wildcats.

I pulled the data from the school district report card on the isd website. I can't imagine having the confederate flag on the isd in this day and age, but it was front and center.

You were serious that PNG's mascot should be Bulldogs? That's what I was referring to.

No, I'm not serious about that.  I just meant it as a joke since it's the same nickname as Nederland.  Thought that might be a funny direction for them to go.

I think there's more than one - the TPC one that exploded was maybe half a mile away, but there's a Huntsman plant right across the street and when we would be outside for practices after school we figured that one was the cause of the smell. Nothing like being outside in that heat and humidity with eau de chemical plant wafting through the air. I'm not sure what exactly they make at the Huntsman plant, or even if it's owned by Huntsman anymore.
