why the horns down triggers the frick out of Texas.
Schools have been doing the Horns Down for decades and it only recently became a point of contention.
Why?
Recently, while playing Texas Tech, a UT WR scored a TD and did the Guns Down in the end zone (instead of the Guns Up the ways Texas Tech does it) and the Texas player was penalized. We asked the Big 12 Conference, "Why is it okay for everyone to do Horns Down but we can't do the same with someone else's hand sign." The Big 12 conference then decided to penalize the Horns Down.

I remember that, the Big 12 officiating crew came up with the excuse that it was "promoting gun violence."

Why do horns use this excuse/rationalization/narrative? It proves the point. Texas will go to the conference commissioner to whine about a 15-yard penalty in a meaningless game, until the conference bans horns down.
