The media’s laziness does not prove your point. The big 12 rules official was asked during media days if Horns down was taunting, and he answered yes. That’s it. No wording was ever added or changed in the rules. If it was, you’d be able to find it in the rulebook.

Don't act like Texas isn't bothered about the saying when they had the big 12 implement a new penalty due to their crying.

That's taunting by players, and ours are held to the same standard...every old SWC team and many of the Big 8 that became the Big 12 has a hand sign as well. The whole thing started years ago when Texas players mocked the Texas Tech "guns up" in Lubbock and got flagged for it while Tech players were doing horns down before and even after that penalty with no consequences. The Big 12 office reviewed it and ruled that using the opposing teams hand sign is taunting and not allowed. It was never a ban on horns down only.

Edit- I don't expect you or anyone else reading this to have the intellect to comprehend, but there it is.
