I can tell you just what happened!!  Yes Shepherd was losing and the lovely horn blower kept blowing the horn for every first down, every run, for every everything!!! Then she blew the horn when the Pirates where on 4th and long!!! The man went and asked nicely if she would not do that!  She said I can blow this horn when ever I want to! He then unplugged the cord and told her not act like that.  Then the other Cleveland board member said your just mad because your team is getting their A** beat!!  He said yes they are and you don't have to rub it in the kids face!  The Cleveland horn crew then had it plugged back in.  He said don't blow the horn on critical plays, you can blow when you make a touchdown etc....  The horn blower that she is later turned the horn to the Pirate home side and blew and blew!!! I guess the man loves the kids of Shepherd enough that he would risk ridicule from strangers to stand up for what he thought was right.  From what I hear he apologized and bought the rude guy an even better extention cord then what he had!! To top it all off at the end of the game they managed to plug the thing back in and when the Pirate team went to run into the locker room she laid on it again as they passed!! Regardless of the cord getting cut who does something like that to kids!! He made one bad choice to cut the cord but I think Cleveland must act like this on a regular basis according to other posts.

Just hate to see this man's name drug through the mud!  I have known him a long time and he is a great family man. Would help anybody who needed it and does.  The kind guy that is hard to come by these days.  This was out of character for him in my opinion.  So he must have been really pushed to his limit!! As for Cleveland I wish them luck and hope they move up to 4A soon.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all "noise makers" banned from UIL events. I think Cleveland had better ditch the horn or have someone else operate it. I know there would have been some issues at The Reservation if that would have gone down here. I imagine there would have been problems in numerous stadiums if someone was blowing the dang thing that much ! Now playing Cherokee every three minutes is just fine... ;)

As a former Indian, (though from another Tribe), I can tell you that from what I have seen, most schools that have an Indian as their symbol have a lot of spirit.  But, when your mascot does a war dance, insure that he is in his tribal lands...not on someone else's reservation, or for that matter....ahem...cave.  Else said mascot will find his feather ruffled by the grassy plain of the football field...1999 LCM game, for example...?

I think it is hilarious also!   ;D ;D ;D ;D Keep your horn at home and blow it as much as you want there.  When you start bringing it to other peoples houses be ready for it to get damaged.

This horn was electric?   Who was paying for the electricity?    Where do you find a plug at a football game?

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
