New UIL Rules???

[PNG Proud]

A little bird told me that "noise makers" were no longer allowed at games. Can anyone confirm, or deny this for me? I'd sure like to NOT HEAR those Stephensville rattle cans this yr.at MCM.

That and train horns should not be allowed in any stadium. :shout:

 

[squaw]

Another example of an inappropriate tradition (Nederland's copying Stephenville's ball bearing drums).

This almost sounds too good to be true. The L-train horn makes me dread going to Lumberton.

on setxsports it said that they are not allowed in an indoor building So get ready to see the cans of doom

So get ready to see the cans of doom

I doubt they'll have much occasion to shake them, unless they make up reasons.

They will have the opportunity to shake them twice. Once at the beginning of each half!

 

[nissanindian]

They treat there cans like we treat cheerokee you will never hear them end

what makes it inappropriate??

 

[IndianFan]

Maybe unoriginal is a better word. That being said because the ball bearing filled propane bottles didn't exist until after 1999. Stephenville's 'can fans' were the source for that tradition.

Hey Proud...

you're talking about at your place right?

I'll probably be booed for giving my honest opinion, but here it is: (1) any mechanic noisemaker should not be allowed, and (2) why doesn't Nederland make a tradition of their own rather than copying Stephenville? JMHO. No insult is intended.

 

[PNG NDN Fan]

Well, I may be wrong here, but I think what is and is not allowed in the stadium is up to game administrator which is typically the athletic director or some other administrator from the host school/stadium.

They could say artificial noisemakers (horns, bells, whistles) are not allowed but they would also have to enforce. They could also make other rules regarding food, drink, umbrellas etc.

I have to make a comment!!! My seats were equal to the Indianettes. Last year I thought the cow bells were extremely LOUD and annoying, but, now I have to say, the cowbells were awesome, compared to the propane bottles and cans!! This is my 1st year to have seen/noticed the propane bottles. I am sitting higher than the Indianettes this year and honestly have to say, the cans/bottles are worse annoying than the cowbells. I'm all behind, let's make some noise.....with limitations !! Let's RUMBLE.......

How are they being able to come onto school property w/ 'propane' bottles? Couldnt they possibly be explosive or propane reminents leaking out of the bottles?

I remember back to the 1980's the Westernairs would use 'coffee cans' w/ beans or rocks in them to make noise. They were NOT near as LOUD and annoying as the propane bottles!!!

My comment/opinion will probably not be favored by others, but, I'm being honest on the annoyance and am sorry for upsetting anyone!!

 

[squaw]

We agree, PurplePrideBandRulz! I guess I may be spoiled by being a PNG fan because I think that your fans should be making noises and NOT mechanical things like ball bearings, air horns, cow bells, etc. I also feel that it's rude to blow a horn or a bell into another fan's ears. I was led to believe that it's against UIL rules, but not enforced. I have to admit that my voice carries (from years of teaching school) and I make plenty of noise without mechanical means. Also, what's up with Nederland? Can't they start a tradition of their own? I'd hate to think we copied anyone else--one of the reasons I'm not a fan of the Tomahawk Chop. All this is just my opinion and not intended to offend anyone. I really DO like YankeeDawg (but I do want to beat the Dogs this week and anytime we play them@!) :laugh:

 

[OldEagle]

I agree with you Squaw about the tomahawk chop. Why do we need to copy another team's tradition? Plus I keep picturing Ted Turner and Jane Fonda doing the chop for the Atlanta Braves.
