Not sure, because our fanbase and administration had literally nothing to do with that being a rule. But you already know that...
While the original controversy was the on field "guns down" episode in Austin...
The result on the field has been that nobody throws "Horns Up' or "Horns Down" anymore.
Although you have forgotten when the WVU player was flagged for a "Horns Down" in Austin.
To me that part sucks. It is like taking taunting out of pro wrestling. As an OU fan there is nothing more irritating than having some Texas player displaying "the Horns" at the OU crowd in the south end of the Cotton Bowl after a TD. And nothing provides more joy than seeing an OU player displaying a Horns down in front of the Texas fans in their end after a score.
That being said, there is a contingent of Texas fans who claim that "Horns Down" by fans of other teams is "trashy" and "offensive". And I think that is what fans of other team are finding to be amusing about these types of Texas fans.

I mean, UT's crowd started a "frick You Bama" chant during the game. Which is fine, doesn't bother me one bit. But they can't do that stuff, and then cry when our big meanie players give them a horns down hand gesture.
