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.

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.

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.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
