All I'm asking is to give these boys your best! What does that mean how about no more negative talk. Vince Lombardi once said winning is contagious but so Is Losing! You really want to make a difference in some young men's lives then show up Friday at the first official tailgate party in North parking lot food and drinks available. Also, instead of showing Facing the Giants we will be showing games from 1950s til the present! Good old fashioned Longhorn football! So instead of sitting on here writing about it let's do something about it. I don't care where you have moved from your welcome anytime to me your now a longhorn. Tailgating starts at 5pm then at 6:30 we will be forming an old fashioned victory line. Remember a house is only as good as its foundation and we the community we are that foundation for this team let's get the cracks out! [/quote] Good post, but, actions will speak louder than words, therefore, I am hopeful that friday will be the turning point that[b] all[/b] citizens of the community are recognized as a longhorn.....not a native, transplant or newby.  Just a longhorn.

We may never be able to compete against WOS and Silsbee but you never know. It is a game and you never can tell whats going to happen in a game with kids playing!!!! As for the parents out there tell your kid to play as hard as they can and never give up!!! As for all you transplants that have moved in get on board or go back to where you came from!!! My question to you is why did you choose to move in our area? Why didn't you stay in your hometown? GO HORNS!!!!!!!! [/quote]This right here is the problem in HF.  All transplants, as you call them, are ostracized by the locals. No matter how hard they try to "get on board" they hit road blocks set up by people with the same "our town" mentality that you have.  Believe me, they do tell their kids to play hard and never give up, but, its not enough because after all, they are the transplant kids.  These kids didn't choose to live here, however, their parents brought them here for various reasons......better education, job transfer, wanting a new start, etc.  Your "go back to where you came from" attitude is what these families live with everyday!!!!!
