Tatum_DirtyBird Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 My boss has the train horn and got a call from Coach Evans and was told that Troup would not allow Tatum to bring their train horn. How bout when Troup scores a TD ( if they do ), Troup fans don't cheer? I might go to Wal-Mart and buy an air horn... :tongue: What's ya'll thoughts on this?

Guest TtownEagle803 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thats seriously messed up. Ask a team not to bring their favorite celebration tool. That train horn sounds mean, maybe they're tryin to get us out of our game or something, who knows, its still messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildLeg Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'd vote no. If you want to ring a bell, scream & shout, play a harmonica, or stomp your feet, go for it. People powered noise is okay with me. Pressing a button to make noise is the epitome of laziness. Wouldn't it be nifty if football turned into a "Battle of the Noisemakers"? My train whistle is louder than yours? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dont you just take the instruments out of the band too?.....Then maybe we could all go to sleep instead of just the little babies in the stands.

PartyClown Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I say allow the train horns. If people don't like noise, then go to a PGA tournament. Schools don't allow EF to bring their train horn with them either. Some people just look for things to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I just used to live by a train track when i was little and it reminds me of home. But seriously, the only thing in the rule book about horns is that you cant have them in a closed in space......for example, the AstroDome. I think its pretty weak that they wont let us bring the horn. Trust me, we make plenty of noise. Its just cool to here that horn go of 7 to 9 times a game.

Tatum_DirtyBird Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Wildleg, our fans don't make enough noise matter of fact, but you wouldn't either if your school was blowin out the comp.... lol... So far, Troup is the only school not to let us bring our horn. IMO, that's poor sportsmanship and poor class. The horn is just our way of supporting our team. Maybe Troup is just mad cause they don't have a horn. Good luck Tigers, but I think that is in poor taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdawg16 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 How is it bad sportsmanship? Cause it's their facility and anyone using the place has to abide by their rules? I'll admit it's kinda ticky tack but it is what it is. Just go win and who will care about a stupid horn anyways. If you wanna make some man made noise..take an old ( empty of course ) propane tank. Fill it up with bolts and anything else that will fit in there and paint it your school colors whatever...that defiantely makes noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game should be about the fans cheering their team, not some artificial noise maker operated by some nut! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 OK, maybe not poor sportsmanship.... but I think it is pretty cruddy. If Troup buys a horn next year, I would expect Tatum to still let them bring it. That's how classy we are. Good luck Eagles, light up the score board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 They really aren't supposed to say "No, you can't bring it." It's not really worth fighting, but unless the district has banned the train horns, no one school can ban them at their stadium. Kilgore has had numerous teams tell them not to bring them or use them. I bet the people who hate them are the ones backing the teams getting whooped by teams with train horns... hehe :hug: But seriously, as long as it's just for touchdowns, kickoffs, and end of game/half, what's the big deal? But that's okay; once playoffs start you can use the horn wherever you want,, per UIL rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
