headn4home Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Are you sure.... I thought UIL banned both train and air horns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-TIME Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I know that back in 91 when Gilmer was in the playoffs ....I can't remember for the life of me whom they played and I think it was in Marshall...they weren't allowed any cowbells or air horns or anything whatsoever...does anybody else recall this as well???? I think they played Jefferson I'm not for sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Originally posted by headn4homeAre you sure.... I thought UIL banned both train and air horns... They're allowed in every playoff game. They're supposed to be allowed at all district games unless the whole district agrees to ban them. Pre-district is fair game for bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Tatum has been known to bring trash cans to beat on, pine tree limbs, cause we are from the piney woods and other such props..... I LOVE TATUM, THOSE FOLKS ARE THE GREATEST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBTS Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 How about just acting like you've been in the endzone before? Why all the chest beating and disruption of the peace--I can promise you that the players couldn't care less about what some toothless redneck does to honk a horn after a TD.

pixi Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I'm surprised they are not allowing it. Then they could blame the horn for the huge whooping they are going to get. They could say it distracted them!!!!:wacko: Or maybe they are just jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red90fly Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Stop all the crying Tatum people geeze!! My uncle used to run the "Eagle Express" for Rusk and was once not allowed to bring it to Tatum so what comes around goes around!:mf_tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFAFrog Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Be happy there aren't rules like in the NCAA that ban most artificial noise makers and that bands can't play once the huddle breaks. TCU has the Frog Horn that hasn't been allowed at some stadiums even though the same stadium allows cannons. Auburn just got a warning for piped in music at the Florida game. Miss St. can't use their cowbells. It's one game blow it to your hearts content at the next home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackflag_74 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 not trying to start any ####, but question for the tatum faithful? did you have the bell at the gilmer game? i dont remember hearing it. and if its anything like celinas horn, you cant forget it.

FBJ Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Originally posted by headn4homeAre you sure.... I thought UIL banned both train and air horns... UIL has not banned train horns, the rule is that if a district has a written policy banning the noise maker they can forbid it. No written policy no ban. We used ours in Kilgore at our playoff games except for one place, but I don't remember where. Maybe Waco. How they going to ban the train horn in Jacksonville.:whome: It comes right down the tracks behind the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddmutt1898 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Originally posted by KirtFalcon Originally posted by WildLegI'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. I totally agree! I hate the one Celina uses as well. The game should be about the fans cheering their team, not some artificial noise maker operated by some nut! :w00t: When Gilmer played Celina in the second round of the play-offs in 2003, Celina did not get to blow their horn many times. The first time they blew it for a touchdown was late in the third quarter.:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two11 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 You come to my house, I make the rules, I come to your house, you make the rules. No horn away, live with it. Ring it at home to let the people that didn't go the game know you scored. Annoy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_t_sports Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I vote no air horns. What's the purpose of them? Fans should make the noise at ballgames -- not machines. Let the bands play and let the fans cheer. Otherwise, sooner or later it will just get to the point of who can bring the loudest horn and that would just get ridiculous.

e_t_sports Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well it would certainly be unfair if the home team were allowed to have a train horn and the visitors weren't. That's like not permitting the visiting band from attending the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentman Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 We have a double stacked Train horn that we have not been able to use in our district play for two years now…..The District voted on it and banned it for all district play home or on the road……if I am not mistaken when Brownsboro played Tatum last year in the playoffs we both were able to use the horns……….I understand the so called our house our rules thing, but all you are trying to do is cause a problem for others just because you don’t have something or not brilliant enough to come up with a way to get by the rules……At any game one loyal fan can sit in the parking lot and BLOW the heck out of it when TATUM scores if they want to……It makes it fun to try to beat the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroupTiger Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Whining. . . come on Tatum. . . is a horn really going to make difference?? Don't call Troup classless for something like that. Troup has railroad tracks running right behind the stadium. . . you may get an occasional horn blow anyway. The main thing is the stadium is going to be too crowded for that with the bands on the track etc, the train horns are WAY too loud and don't think it is necessary for this game. We used one a couple of years ago at the state championship and it was in a much larger stadium with many more people. . . thus not so loud. I'm looking for a great game between both teams. . . GO TIGERS!:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBJ Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 It's not a violation of the Texas Penal Code. It's not a violation of the UIL rules, and if Troup can't produce a written policy about in their proceedures, they can't stop you. Take it and make them produce a written policy. I'm tired of these people that act like, "It's my ball and you play my way or I'm taking my ball home." :messbaby: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Everybody's got an opinion these days, don't they... You folks ever think of the fact that it might be district policy that was voted on by all Athletic Directors at the district meeting? I'm just guessing here, but I don't think this is something that is done out of jealousy, bitterness, or sportsmanship! Who knows? I think you folks from Tatum and Troup should just go to the game and watch two good football teams and quit fussing over this whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case you would think it would have been banned already since all teams have started district play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
