Inflatable helmets

[buff4life]

any schools still use the good ol fashioned painted taped together run through signs or has almost everyone went to inflatable junk...

i used to like the homecoming contest for best run through

[LH Panther Mom]

No blow-up thingys here. We have a run-through sign, but it's vinyl with velcro.

FUNNY BELLVILLE BOUGHT A VINYL ONE A COUPLE YEARS AGO BUT I CAN ONLY REMEMBER THEM USING IT A FEW TIMES......I GUESS GOOD OLE FASHION PAPER AND PAINT IS THE ONLY WAY TOO GO

[Emerson1]

We have a paper run through sign for the beginning of the game, although most of the sayings are pretty cheesy, then a reusable sign for the 2nd half.

Helmets and tunnels are to cheesy. The only cool tunnel run though I have seen was with ennis a few years ago. The tunnel is big enough for the entire team to fit into and the front end is closed, they actually have good smoke machines and not fire extinguishers

[BobcatBenny]

Celina runs through a paper sign at the start of the game and then a vinyl and velcro to start the second half.

Here is what I know, every time I see a team run through an inflatable tunnel. That team loses.

Maybe this is sheer jealousy, but I despise the inflatable loser tube! :mad:

[Gobbler Fan]

No Inflatable thingy here ...old school all the way :thumbsup:

Gp still uses the run through banner because those blowups cost $10K plus.

[PlayaJBiehl20]

Best run through was when old high had a huge fiber glass coyote head with red eyes and smoke coming out the mouthe. They ran out to Blind by Korn

[HippoBaseball05]

We have a helmet, an attached tunnel, and a smoke machine that we got last year.

[Johnny 5]

Rio Hondo has a helmet and a smoke machine or two. The whole field gets covered in smoke.

Thanks to Covert Ford in Hutto for supplying! The Kids think it is awesome! And now our cheerleaders dont have to velcro something together every half.

[pirate4state]

Sinton has had a tunnel since '02

I think we might need a new one :thinking:

You haven't played giddings yet, just kidding. But couldn't pass it up.

[RedWhiteBlue]

Graham has a helmet with the smoke- but I have to be honest... I would rather just have the old school painted sign (I guess that shows my age). That smoke smells awful- can't be good for the boys!!!!!

Don't forget about the smoke machine. What good is a blow up thingy without a smoke machine? :D

[luvhoops34]

When I first saw the title to this thread, I thought it mean inflatable helmets for players....:(

[RedWhiteBlue]

Going back to the 'remember when' thread from yesterday- who remembers Soccer Boppers? Those big blow up things you put on your hands and beat the crud out of each other with?

Yes, we have a smoke machine, but I don't have a picture of it. :D

[CHS_CG]

Caldwell was using run through signs last year I believe, but this year they had a helmet.

[CHS_CG]

Along the same lines, before your team comes out on the field, do they all huddle together and do the "HELL YEAH, HELL YEAH HELL YEAH? I heard Synder do it last weekend and noticed Caldwell did it at the game I went to.

Also... how many teams hold up 4 fingers at the end of the 3rd Quarter?

[DU_stud04]

i miss those paper signs.... the really big ones, i thought they were pretty cool. cheerleaders are getting too laazy now-a-days, they dont even put together the tunnel.....:(

Uhm, nope on the "hell yeah". Ours is "WHO ARE WE? PANTHERS! WHO ARE WE? PANTHERS! WHO ARE WE? PANTHERS!".

And we do the 4th Qtr fingers.

Yes it was after they were on the sidelines though.. they were right in front of where we were sitting. it wasnt the whole time but it was some sitting on the bench.

[RedWhiteBlue]

Oh the pine-riders- always trying to stir up some excitement.......
I must be too old, but I can't really comprehend what our guys are yelling in the helmet before they go out. They are led by a Coach and it is probably a good thing that we don't know.......

Actually they weren't pine-riders, they were part of the defense who had stopped a Marlin drive. They were sitting on the bench going back and forth saying exactly what she said. That's one thing about the bowl not having a track between the field and the fans, you can hear nearly everything that is being said on the bench between the players and the coaches and the players sometimes whether you want to or not. :eek:

I used a lot of swear words when we were by our tiger head.

That is alot better then just a helmet by its self, or just a tunnel by its self

A tiger head probably cost alot more then a generic helmet though

and it looks way better to see kids looking like they're getting puked out of a Tiger instead of running out of a lame old helmet. ;)

Those look a little over inflated, I think she should go back for the 6th time and get them slightly deflated a little.

I would enjoy the others as much for just being real. Personal preference here.

That was probably bought by the booster club, a new sound system and stadium seating will be tax dollars

We have a tunnel with a smoke machine and we have a strobe light inside of it too.....


its so our players could get "crunk" before the game......

And we do the 4th Qtr fingers.

The fourth quarter fingers is appropriate if you're AHEAD. But, not if you're 50 points behind. If I was a coach and my kids did that when way behind, they'd run their butts until they were too tired to hold up anymore fingers.

Many a team has scored and come back from an overwhelming deficite in the 4th quarter before.

So don't look for Liberty Hill to Stop either owning the Forth Quarter or go down hard trying.

It'll stay and is appropriate.

Coach Vance actually started the 4th qtr thing here, ahead or behind. I'm sure it means roughly the same most places, but it's a reminder that football is played for 4 quarters and to never stop giving it everything you have during those final 12 minutes.

The mindset of the Panthers in the first "Vance" year needed every one of the things he instilled in them after the previous HC. The 4th qtr thing, Thunderstruck (Purple Thunder) and gassers were the first things, followed by "Hold the Rope" the second season. Those things remain year after year.

Take a look at the job the Columbus Cardinal cheerleaders do. They work their booty off during the week. They have a real run through sign for game opener and at half time. They do an extremely good job during the week along with other school functions, pep rallies, along with keeping up with their school work. They are all "A" students.
Congrats on the good job.

The only time we have lost to a team with an inflatable was to Wimberly. We run through paper at the beginning and velcro at halftime.

I always wanted an inflatable run through. A giant turkey fan of feathers as seen from the rear.
The players will run out of the butt. :D
