re: Explain Horns Down. It’s as offensive as flipping the bird or Jack off motion?

Any Horns care to explain?

Sure, I will explain.

This was never an issue before Texas got penalized for doing guns down or holstering a hand pistol or something like that against Texas Tech.

Mack Brown asked the Big 12 Office.. “why did we get a penalty? after all, everyone does “horns down” and they never get penalized.” (paraphrasing)

The Big 12 then decided to make it a penalty and everyone ran with the idea that horns down must bother us..

I grew up a Texas fan and I graduated from Texas. This happens ALL THE TIME and it’s a joke. I laugh. They laugh. It’s good natured ribbing..

Did the Texas fans get upset and pissed off in the end zone after UDub scored and then did horns down? Sure. They also could have done nothing and those fans would have still been pissed off because they scored.

In other words.. HORNS DOWN is a nothing burger and I actually enjoy it.. this is part of what makes college football special.
