HOOK 'EM HORNS!!! YOU WILL DO THIS!!!

[igotquestions]

I had the opportunity to listen in last Friday night and the horns sounded like they are coming around. Especially liked the radio crew. They sound like they know what they are doing, the crew from the past few years was hard to follow and seemed quite lost. At least this crew sounds confident in Early.

I agree, definately and upgrade on the radio!

I'm a first time poster but a long time fan and I feel the need to respond to the absurdness of the post by wp78. Tindol was not a leader. He was fortunate enough to inherit a talented bunch of athletes, with his enrollment close to the 3a cutoff, that his coordinators obviously utilized. Under his regime I saw the discipline level go from good to absolutely zero and whatever the student/athlete did was ok as long as he performed on friday night. It looks to me like coach bowden is at least trying to teach his players that there are consequences for acting stupid.

you nailed it man! *sigh*

[BIGHORN]

You guys aren't lying about the radio upgrade...T E was awful!! Talk about having no sense of the game whatsoever. Heck, my 4 year old daughter has more football knowledge than that clown. I actually enjoy listening in now, and I am going to enjoy it even more this Friday when we get our first win of the season. Go Horns!

HOLD UP THERE ROOKIE!!! I know some Indians that might have something to say about the "first win" concept! I see this as being a great game! Both teams hungry and improving. Keys are can JN stop Early running, and can Early stop JN passing. Turnovers have been JN achilles heal in losses. +3 in turnovers vs Anson in the win.
At least y'all HAVE a radio broadcast! by the way, what is the station # as I am not sure we will be able to make the game.

[fumblerooski]

102.3 FM is the station, Early is a little young in the safety position with a Soph. back there, but he has a lot of speed and great hands. I just expect our linebackers to reek havoc this week on your back field. JN has always played Early well so I expect a hard fought game on both sides of the ball.

Brownwood's loss.
"Brownwood High student-athlete John Alsides, who transferred from Early this summer, has been ruled ineligible by the UIL because they felt the senior moved for athletic reasons. The senior wanted to play football, soccer and run track, but his appeal was denied. And Early doesn't even field a soccer team.
Several other schools had players rule ineligible for the same reason, but two others were cleared. None of these schools were from West Texas."

[jcisco loboe'77]

Can a player who was denied a transfer return to his High School, if the school will take him back?? Just wondering??

yep, there is a few more like that over there, playing off someone else's name "Shipley", if they really had a "GAME" they wouldn''t have to.

Well, I saw where Early lost this week. So i guess the drum will start beating to run the second good coach you all have had out of town.

I agree, Emmitt. Our boys were real close to knocking off a tough Bangs squad. I believe Coach Bowden will have the team ready to play against Clyde on Friday night. This game ought to decide who goes to the playoffs!

[EMMITT22]

train the bulldogs to sit stay shut up and send em to the kennel. HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!

[EMMITT22]

Horns you have an opportunity this Friday night to achieve one of your seasons goals. there are only three more district games left, but first this game Clyde. for most of you these will be the last football games you play. years from now you will look back and reflect, so make the most of this opportunity. are you going to let the moment define you, or are you gong to define the moment. HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!

[wp1178]

It saddens me to see how far our football program has fallen, losing has replaced winning, cockiness has replaced confident swagger, personal fouls have replaced good sportsmanship, desperation changes have replaced half-time adjustments, countless hours in the weight room have been replaced with witch hunts and player suspensions, and now the bionic bovine bellows on first downs instead of touchdowns. Cliff Mitchell battled in 3A districts for years and was always competitive and the Horns played with class. When Cliff stepped down we had to burn through a few seasons of wanna-bees at the AD position before we got the leadership in place to carry us to a new level. Early fans got a taste of the good life for a few years, and personally I want to see those days return.

what a joke. Tindol was a leader he came into Early and rewrote the script, he had a system that the kids bought into and he had a great coaching staff who actually knew what they were doing and he led the Early teams to the playoffs. I tell you what if a kid ever EVER acted like that one kid did for Early (#6) that Friday night in Clyde coach Luker would have made that kid drop all his pads and go sit his a$s in the stands. What a disrespectful kid, you have to realize you can't get ejected from all of the games. You are representing a school and everyone inside of a town. I have seen a few games this season and Friday night against Clyde was absolutely the worst team I have seen in Early since the '03 '04 teams. I mean how unmotivated, emotionless, and careless can one team play. No offense to the band but they were actually more aggressive than the football team with their drama filled half time show. (fun show BTW). No offense to Clyde but they are a subpar team and not any better than that, so you rank Early how you want. Next question that still lingers through out the community...why this Bowden guy? you have over 150+ applicants and you pick this guy who Early use to beat like a drum and has a 3-348 record before coming to Early (ok that stat may be off a little). But seriously what did yall even work on in practice last week? the Pistol formation where you run the counter over and over and you get blasted for a 3 yard loss? or the little Pistol screen pass that gained 0-1 yard every time?...btw was there even a defense out there? On the other note of you saying Bowden is teaching these kids something...what how to continuously get 15 yard personal fouls? ha. a complete embarrassment. with this final note...it sure is sad Early had a few groups of kids come through and really provide hope to this town, actually played with class, and were fun to watch (they actually scored and played defense), and just in the last two years Early is back to another 50 years of no playoffs...man what a sad day to be from Early..

[fsuredraider]

Just curious, but how many players have been throw out of Early's games this year? Theirs and opponents.

Tindol was a leader? You talking about the alcoholic that has lost two jobs in the past year and half? The one that had a DUI swept under the rug? Boy, I would want that man leading my kids as a football coach and role model!
