Decatur haters

[Humpty]

Why do so many of yall be hate'n on decatur

[spiveyrat]

Now I've got the "Humpty Dance" bouncing around in my brain. :doh:

[BullFrog Dad]

Look at my previous posts about Decatur and you'll see that I've spoken highly of the town and its' athletics. As far as my earlier post today about this FB season for the Eagles I'm sticking with it.

[Humpty]

due that dance

I missed all the hate'n , Humpty. What happened?
I helped move my brother in law to decatur couple months ago. He's working in the gas fields. There are so many gas wells up there, the cattle can't even walk around in the pastures without bumping into them.
I assume you're rich like everybody else up there!?

who's been hating on decatur?? if you say me, ktj, keith7 or koosh, i wouldn't call it hating on decatur. maybe just on someone who talks trash about our school then runs off and hides.

[Humpty]

what about their JV and Freshman teams that beat yall as well as other in their district?

[Humpty]

not rich, but I am holding my own.

that don't mean anything. when i was in school we didn't lose a game from 7th thru JV. then as Varsity we wasn't near as good. let's just meet back in a month or so and see what happens.

[injuredinmelee]

let me tell you my experiences with the Decatur fans last fall.
The Wylie game in Decatur, I cant find the stadium. I stop at Wal Mart to getr directions from some people in the parking lot. Three different people didnt know. I asked if they lived in Decatur. Yes they did they all responded. So I go to a gas station, the guy in a decatur tee shirt say, " Oh you dont need to go. We are gonna beat the HELL outta yall." My kids were with me so I couldnt punk him out on the spot.
after the butt whipping we stop at Braums. Im talkign to a guy in line. My head is held low. This crap spews out of his mouth, " I wish he (coach) would let em score a hundred points. I really think we could have tonight."

The playoff game in Stephenville:
At a BBQ restuarant Four different groups made comments such as and I quote;
" I cant believe yall even showed up."
" I think we will probably put 60 on Wylie tonight"
" Got the basketballs aired up?"
" We are gonna kick yall @$$."

That my friend is why there are Decatur Haters. And Im running for President.

Its okay to be confident, but at least win something before you are. You arent even normally in the playoffs or advance very far so win something then maybe you can talk. You had a three year span where you had some good athletes and we will see if that dries out. I wont lie I have watched 4 Eeagle games in the last 3 years and I will freely admit that there were some good good good football players, good coaching, and a great scheme.

No matter what school or town you you go to, there is always somebody talking trash. They just have to find you.

and i'm your local liberty high school panthers representative

[batman]

Decatur is a great place with great coaches and great kids. Decatur will be a lot better than most people think. And by the way batman loves to do the humpty dance.

hey now, i've got kinfolk over there, and you're absolutely correct in what your saying.

[slpybear the bullfan]

As a loyal and true Bulls Fan... I have to excuse myself from this conversation.

Your Honor, may I step down now?

;)

[Gobbla2001]

Their fans are as annoying as a buncha dam beavers...

Actually, I have no clue, never seen 'em play, never been to the town, and until last season I thought it was pronounced 'Decka-ture'... I just felt like saying 'dam beavers'...

BUT, I will say I have not seen anyone 'hating'... saything they will not be near as good is doing two things and two things only... it is saying that they will not be as good OR that last year's team was so much better... wait, that makes no sense...

just get over it...

[KTJ]

So I have a Decatur story--

This was the first year Decatur was in our District. (1996-97 I believe) We were playing a basketball game at Decatur and it was pretty intense--why, I don't know. Anywho, the game was going back and forth and then both crowds (Gainesville and Decatur) were getting on the refs....which as a basketball referee now, I hate discussing other officials, but those guys were horrible. The refs stopped the game and said that the Gainesville fans were saying stuff and throwing things on the court...when it was clearly coming from the Decatur student section, which happened to be on the same side as the visitors (us) section--and that is also odd. So some lady prinicpal from Decatur with brownish/black curly hair came and sat in our student section and tried to be our mother. She told us to sit down and be quiet.

Now that situation doesn't make me hate Decatur but you always got the feeling that they thought of themselves as a little high and mightier than everyone else.

Did everyone enjoy my short story?

Also, I wish Decatur-ites would learn how to spell Gainesville. How hard is it to spell it correctly? :D

[Gobbla2001]

Since we're discussing 'bad fans' type stories... I'll give you one of mine...

It was at a Cuero game... I forget who we were playing... but the refs made a bad call and some freshmen kid yells out 'You c***suckers'... a guy from a different school was standing in front of him and turned around and told him not to speak that way...

My parents never taught me to speak that way, that's for sure, but my step-cousin's did ;)

The guy was from Calallen... 4 years later I was posting on a message board... a thread about bad things that have happened at games came up... I mentioned what I had done and how bad I had felt about it for years... a guy sends me a PM, happens to be the guy who told me not to speak that way... I was like 'whoa'...

He said how he was glad that I have grown-up etc... was pretty nice... good guy...

I haven't said the word since, btw... ;)

[turbostud]

Here's a good story. HighSchoolFan may even remember this one. It was back around 1981. Collinsville vs. S&S Consolidated. We (S&S) are lined up to kick a extra point. A kid from Collinsville busts through the line before the ball is ever snapped and tags our holder. Both benches or sidelines I should say clear. I was about 11 years old and was behind the gold post getting ready to catch the kick. All I can remember is looking onto the field and seeing both sides spilling onto the field. My older brother was playing and was in the middle of it. It was quite an experience for a 11 year old.

I can't quite recall 3 or 4 people hatin's on Decatur, but I do recall 1!

[olddawggreen]

Wheres Chief Woodman when you need him?:doh:

[injuredinmelee]

Wow how did i forget about the year Wylie played Decatur in basketball in the playofs in Stephenville and the kid from Decatur pushed our best player to the floor an stomped on his face and got ejected. Their fans were yeliing stuff at the Wylie girl doign the stat book callign her b***h etc. I remember how rowdy those fans were. Yelling and screaming stuff. The game had the perfect sit down and shut up ending. Wylie throws a pass the length of the court and a kid lays it in at the buzzer. Wow i have quite the resume to be Decatur Hater President... :nerd:

Watch it...lhpm

[wildstangs]

Was anyone else there the year Sweetwater beat Decatur? Now that was an awesome ending!

I saw them play the week before against Iowa Park in Irving. Talk about a out of the way place to play. It wasnt at Texas Stadium as Irving may have led you to believe we are talking ghetto irving. Bars on the concession stand windows.

As far as Decatur and their fans, I've been there many times the last four years for sports and always found them to be a class group. Good Luck to them and all the schools in 7-3A.

[Bullaholic]

It's human nature to form opinions---good and bad-- based on our experiences with almost anything, including football fans and programs. It is unfortunate that some of you have had some "bad" experiences in Decatur. Decatur has been Bridgeport's chief rival for many years, and the level of competition between our schools and towns is one of the most intense in Texas, but I personally cannot characterize their entire town or athletic programs as being distinctly different from many other athletic programs on the rise in recent years. Sure, there are some folks in Decatur that I don't particuliarly like their attitude or behavior at athletic events, but Decatur doesn't have a monopoly on this behavior---I know many of the Decatur coaches and many Decatur fans, and they are fine people. Mind you---come game time--they are the "enemy" and the Bulls are gonna try and beat the Eagles any legal way we can, but their kids and fans bleed "red" blood just like we do.

Speaking of bad fans and bad sportsmanship.

I remember back in 90 or 91 when Gainesville played McKinney @ Leeper Stadium. McKinney was #1 in state and had that stud running back James Thornton. After Gainesville beat them both teams were walking across the field to shake hands and a fight broke out. Next thing you know a lot fans are running out onto the field to join in the fight. I have never seen anything like that. Players and some fans were using helmets as weapons. It was crazy. I never heard exactly what started it.

Well put. There may have been a few bad apples in the bunch but I'm sure we do here in Bridgeport as well. I agree with everything you said but.....Little Blaster and I both bleed MAROON!

Okay guys... I agree... not much redeeming value in thread.
BUT...

What is in this thread that merits deletion?

Just curious... (cause if it is just because it has no value then we MODs have a LOT of work to do... ;) )
