[quote name="modmouse78" post="702952" timestamp="1257814230"] I heard from a former hf player today who said they use to say, "There is no better thrill, then to beat up on the Hill." [/quote] I played at HF and the one I remember most was "There's no bigger thrill, than drilling the Hill."  Don't know how long ago the person you were talking about graduated from so it could have changed over time from what he told you to what it was when I graduated. BTW, ya'll are going for a record? Is the one you are behind the "How much does OU Suck?" thread? I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the mods come over here and start deleting posts to keep that one at the top .  :D

Did the saying "Drill the Hill" get carried up to 4A when they BH made their move?  Haven't heard it in a while and was curious.

[quote name="HFLONGHORN" post="696198" timestamp="1257295063"] Definitely bring the gold helmet back.  HF has always had either gold or white helmets, never blue.  I just think its a tradition thing.  We have had many different color combinations throughout the years and even the "Longhorns" on the back of the jerseys isn't new.  They did that in the early '80s.  My personal opinion is:  gold helmets, gold pants, blue jerseys at home, and white jerseys on the road. [/quote] The old Notre dame look, but with the Horns on the helmets.

Try this...JMO  ;D [IMG][Hidden Content]]

[quote name="CrazyLikeThat" post="695239" timestamp="1257214903"] Changing helmets won't change our luck.  The blue helmets are better looking than the gold.  I just wonder if the gold is easier to visually pick up on the field. [/quote] ugly wins are better than pretty losses.

[quote name="CrazyLikeThat" post="695216" timestamp="1257213514"] HF plays Cameron Thursday at 7:00 pm in Huntsville. [/quote] Huntsville's high school? Or  at Sam Houston?

My intent was to get input about the gold helmets, I couldn't care less about the jerseys.

[quote name="HORNSFAN86" post="694754" timestamp="1257192211"] It really does not matter to me, I like them both. We have a horrible team but at least they look good when they are getting the Sh_t kicked out of them. [/quote] Ok, well if this is the case, maybe they should go the way of having the blues for away and golds for home, or something like that.

I'll be first to say, I want to see the gold back. Know a lot on here don't care, but I'd like to get some feedback from HF faithful.

My name changes from forum to forum there weed?  :D But that's why I said say something nice.

[quote name="grad88" post="693734" timestamp="1257114456"] Is it there to try to keep the debate civil?  Isn't it just a little funny that there are a few people that have this super power on this website which enables them to chastise us if they don't like what is said?  I agree if you cross the line and say something vile or there are personal attacks against the kids you ought to be banned or penalized in some fashion.  But come on, critiquing my opinion with a happy mark or an ugly mark is gonna make some of us revert back to some really unpleasant elementary days.  You boys with all that power may cause some undue hurt and shame if you are not careful.  Please use your powers for good and not evil, you never know how fragile the person is who is getting a mark against him/her.  Can you live with yourself if you push someone over the edge? [b][b](let's all watch how low my marks are about to go.  started with + 5, - 6 ,  this is gonna be interesting)  [/b][/b] [/quote] Exactly why do you care what your karma is? It means absolutely nothing.  If you want + karma, visit the softball board and say something nice, they'll gladly give you "happy" marks.

Are you in the USMC?

If that's directed at me, I never said that...I said coaches are an extension, to further disciplining, but it's not all on them...You know it takes everyone working at once to be productive and yes, the coach should be the mold that holds them together, but if it's a discipline problem, then I'm pretty sure it goes beyond the coaching.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="683989" timestamp="1256326449"] Question? I keep hearing HF had a good team once upon a time. When was this and what happened to the coach? [/quote] This pre-2002, Claude Tarver, he left and took the job at BC...

I wasn't bashing what you were saying it was directed to all who've blamed the coaching. As far as discipline, that begins at home...not at school, school is an extension yes and coaches teach an extension of discipline but it is not their job to begin the disciplining. It's not their fault the kids have gotten that far without it. That is a parents obligation. You aren't always going to like the way people do things, but that happens everywhere in everY facet of life...DEAL WITH IT!

[quote name="33" post="683913" timestamp="1256319716"] [quote author=Abe Lincoln link=topic=60899.msg683886#msg683886 date=1256318376] anyone who knows anything about HF and its players knows that there are plenty of athletes, we just don't have enough people to put them where they need to go. its hard to play for a team that loses by 40 plus points every game and to have no one want to change anything is even harder. thats why we have the small numbers that we do. ron knows what he is talking about because he sees it every day and all you other jokers don't have a clue! [/quote] i wasn't going to even add to this thread after the topic went from the game to this but IMO, it's not the athletes people should be bashing for quitting or anything of the sort. look what happen to BC 3 years ago, they went 0-10 and if you didn't score 60 on us you weren't a good football team. but the only people to leave the team that season were the seniors at the end of the season. that falls on the coaches. if you are having a horrible season and you have kids quitting left and right, that is on the coaches. [/quote] this type of stuff is what really ticks me off, not everything lies with the coaches, maybe  things lie with them partially, but my lord, at some point you have to stop pointing the finger, grow up and realize it's your choice to quit, not the coaches, you decide to quit then blame the coach? Puhleez, quitting is the easy way out and the easy way to point the finger. That's the reason we have many problems these days because people look for others to blame when, in fact, if they'd take responsibility for their own actions, they'd realize they choose their own outcome. Maybe you don't agree with everything he does and you don't have to, but quitting isn't doing anything but showing how weak you really are and that you'd rather take the easy way out. I'm not that old yet but I can tell you that life sometimes sucks and is worse than things that happen in high school football, if you are already quitting something that is fun, I can't imagine what else you'll quit later on. Anyways that's the end of my rant. 

rebelwhosleepswith2dogs, you must have enjoyed the Silsbee game. i prefer a blow-out win. to the Hamshire-Fannett team. i will bet that the halls of your school are full of good athletes who dont have the "manhood" to commit to the work it takes to be a football player. I will bet you have no clue what you're talking about since he is a WOS fan...

rebelsleepswith2dogs, you received the 1 negative karma from a silsbe fan, probably aggy. but you have a long way to go to catch me. If you meant me by "aggy" then nope, I'm not a silsbee fan and nope I didn't hit his karma

I will give you a welcome and...

Most of the posts were about wos/silsbee... just sayin.

I know Silsbee has the War Hymn, do they saw horns off too? ;D

I'm sure HF could just call up any of the coaches you mentioned, and they would all be willing to rush back to the armpit of southeast texas. Go crawl back into the hole you came out of. K Thx

^ just wow

I wouldn't be surprised to see WOS do that....they like to run up the score.....They will then have a district title in mind after they beat the last place team.....IMO I wouldn't run up the score just "win" and get your young players some experience..... Make sure to clarify the difference between running up the score and one team not being able to stop the other. If the score shows at the end 60-6 or something like this, people don't need to run here and bash something they know no details of. As I've always said, I'm from HF, and I know that WOS will most likely win this game and I expect them to. I just don't want to hear people run over here start crying because "they ran up the score". If you shoot yourself in the foot and the other team capitalizes on your mistake, that's not running up the score, that's just good football. If a team is running iso and traps after getting up a certain amount of points and is still scoring on those base plays, that is not running up the score, that is saying they want the defense to stop them. Running up the score would be being up 50-0 and going five wide with all your starters in and throwing hail mary's and running reverses. If WOS gets up in a lopsided way, I don't look for the starters to stay in, and I look for all their guys to get playing time. If this is the case and HF just can't stop them, it's not running it up, it's football and it happens. So to HF, just go out there and play as hard as you can, and you never know what could happen on any given friday night. Good luck.
