The UIL attempts to strike yet again. The UIL has proposed a policy that will ban Train Horns at sporting events, citing health concerns as the reason of the proposal.This possible ban would effect many of our area teams and MANY across the state. I for one Love train horns at football games (I hope United comes across one) should the ban proposal fall through. 

I want to know everyone else's feeling toward Train Horns at games and how they feel about this Proposal.

Train horns suck. Especially when you are listening to someone else's!!!

I agree 100%. They should be banned. They’re just stupid to have. Most stadiums don’t allow fog horns and they aren’t as loud as the train horns. Get rid of all of them.

I remember Stephenville in 1999 State Championship Game had giant propane cans with ball bearings in them that they shook almost constantly.  PNG put up a sign on our side that said, "For Noise, We do

Train horn needs to go. Been to many games and the opposite team sounds the horn on turnovers, touchdowns, field goals, and anything and everything that go right for their team. Since air horns are banned in many places get rid of the train horns.

They shoudlnt ban them just use them from the endzone perspective! 

I dont know I guess its the military man in me that enjoys loud noises espacially in a sports atmosphere. 

Does anyone have any favorites West Orange Stark and Longview have my favorites even tho the Mustangs horn sounds more like a Fire Truck rather than a train.

Great mines think a like.  I was hoping United could get one but only blow it when points are scored.  I wonder how do we go about getting one while the check book is still kind of open...

Most teams either buy one, have it donated to them or a loyal fan goes out and salvages one from Lord knows where. Or if your Hardin Jefferson.....one of the coaches builds it himself.

It does not matter where they place the horn, it is getting used for more and more and not just touchdowns. Too much of a good thing is not good, after some time it leaves a bad taste in ones mouth. JMHO

Raider games wouldn't be the same!!!! L-Train and the horn all started the 07 season!!!! 

This is true...  As for SETX.  I like it for Lumberton.  But it should, IMO,  should be used when teams come out before games or after halftime, not after scores.  Other noisemakers, such as bells, ball bearings, clappers, ect should be ok.  Sometimes, the train horn drowns out the band and its fight songs after TD's, scores, or big plays....

I would think so but they allow them not the others...

Well....  There are a few stadiums located right alongside train tracks where trains blast their horns, sometimes during games.  Example of that is Provost- Umphrey stadium and Thomas Center... Those are the immediate ones that come to mind.  I'm sure there are more...

I would be ok for only and only at beginning and halftime and not any other time. The problem is will the UIL have to make it a penalty if it is used during any other time besides that. To many rules already.

      Yes. The Israel haters, and those who vote for and support the Israel haters have a clock ticking on them. They don't realize it but they do. Judgement will come and it won't be good.

      Sen. Tom Cotton was talking about all the tents set up at the Ivy League schools. Poor college stundents are so poor they scream to have the debt "forgiven" (transferred to us) but suddenly hundreds of brand new $500 tents show up. That Soros money does a lot.

      The Bible prophesied the destruction and restoration of Israel and the gathering back of God’s people. I don’t know about the purity of the twelve tribes, but God’s word is true regardless of how man interprets it. God says he will bless those the support Israel. Many consider Israel bullies because they don’t agree with the magnitude of their defense towards their attackers. The Old Testament is full of God’s support of the annihilation of their enemies.

      Here is the facebook post for y'all   I’m not going to put names or schools on this, but feel free to screen shot it to whoever you like. Yes yes, I’m a baseball guy. But I love football more than baseball. My son played all three sports in high school. So I’m not a baseball only guy. But if your high school football coach has your Varsity baseball son doing football drills in pads right now, that is wrong. At one certain school, the baseball team lost their starting third baseman (Gladiator kid) because he dislocated his elbow in a football drill. Two weeks before high school baseball playoffs, and now his season is done. Basically this coaches decision to make Varsity baseball players do football workouts on April 22nd, 5 months before Friday night lights, just sabotaged this kids season, and the teams season. And once again, I’m a huge football supporter, but this is wrong!! This is why kids stop playing football. Coaches preach they want kids playing all the sports, well how about respect baseball season, from Feb to May !  If the shoe was on the other foot, and a kid got injured playing baseball in October and he was a varsity football starter, what would that coach do? Be pissed off! And I would 100% agree with him! There is a reason I don’t have a fall baseball program with football guys. Because I respect football season. All I’m asking is football coaches to respect baseball season. Respect the High School baseball coaches that have worked their ass off to try to get their team in a playoff situation. Support them, don’t Sabotage them by taking their players out because of a “all important April 22nd” football workout. And I don’t want to hear this was bad luck, or any crap like that!!!A lot of these kids are Division One Baseball players, and just good high school football players. If you want to continue to have these kids play football, start doing the right thing. If not, I’m going to try to get those kids quit football and just focus on baseball. And let me say it again, I want all my Gladiator kids playing football!! I go support them watching their football games, and I love it!! But not at the cost of an injury in April playing football, not baseball . Bad miss……Do a better job! Be a better football coach, and remember, it’s not about you, but it’s about the kids who respect you and will do anything you ask them to do. Don’t punish them for being a good baseball or basketball player!!
