png9mon Posted August 4, 2018 Report Posted August 4, 2018 It depends on how the train horn is used. If it is sounded after a score, that is fine. The problem is when it is sounded as the team kicks off. The receiver is forced to concentrate on receiving the ball while a loud train horn blows in his ear. That is just stupid & unsportsmanlike behavior. Thank goodness, as a PNG Indian, we have plenty of fans & a great band to make noise. We don't need train horns! Quote

I don't think I've heard anyone use the train horn as a distraction while live play is going on. It's usually blown after the whistle... Quote

Hagar Posted August 4, 2018 Report Posted August 4, 2018 My problem with this, with all the backdoor dealings going on to get kids to change schools (recruiting is a nice name for it), and other despicable shenanigans going on, why in the cornbread hail is the UIL worrying about train horns? Limit them to immediately after TD’s. Now UIL, start working on the bigger problems - recruiting - attacking officials - intentionally trying to injure a player, especially after the whistle - schools fudging on attendance - etc. etc. KF89 and Alpha Wolf 2 Quote

png9mon Posted August 4, 2018 Report Posted August 4, 2018 Also, to make a point, it is just as rude for an opposing band to blast music while the other team is on offense. PNG has been guilty of this in past years, and other local schools play non- stop under these circumstances. Good luck trying to stop this from happening. I suppose there is a different set of rules depending on what, or who, makes the unsportsmanlike noise/music. Hagar 1 Quote

I think it's probably 50-50. The problem is some places abuse it. Outside of a TD or team intro, there's no need to break up the perfect ambiance of a high school game. That said, the UIL needs to stay out of this except for the playoffs. And the schools abusing the horn need to cut back it back. That's an issue that should be handled at the district level. Quote
