Apparently it was first started in 1955 by a cheerleader…..then this on horns down:



"Hook 'em Horns was invented on Nov. 11th, 1955.

The next day Texas played TCU in Austin and Horn students started doing the "Hook 'em.

So my guess is that it was a visiting TCU fan on that Nov. 12th day. (TCU won).

The next week...Texas played A&M. I'm sure some enterprising Aggie figured out how to turn the Hook 'em Horns" downward.
