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.

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.

Lol it is the least shocking thing that an aggie does not have the simplest reading comprehension.

Texas was flagged for a handsign taunt used by Mike Davis in 2012 @ Texas Tech. Mack Brown asked why we were specifically flagged for that when the other team had been doing horns down throughout the same game. Then they made this rule 7 years later without a single iota of input from anybody on Texas's side.

Why horns down was singled out? I don't know. Maybe they needed the most recognizable hand sign to make a point (the rule is actually for all taunting, not just specifically for Texas; that was the easiest to point out). The rule also says Texas can be flagged for horns up if it's actually taunting.

You already knew all of this, but your obsession with Texas still drives you in this thread
