And people still question why we want nothing to do with Texas or that conference.

Tulsa World

quote:

Meanwhile, Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger sent out a now-deleted tweet that said “I remember every single team/player that disrespects the rich tradition of the University of Texas by putting the Horns down. Do not think it will be forgotten in the future.”

Well that's a load of bullshite (pun intended).

I spent my formative years perfecting the upside down horn.

That's just fricking pussy-assed, to couch it in technical terms. If a player runs up to the crowd or Texas players and does it, I get that as unsportsmanlike. Not because it attacks a rich tradition but because you're being unsportsmanlike. It doesn't matter if it's horns down or a jacking-off motion. But simply flashing them is nothing. Only a pissant would call for unsportsmanlike conduct for that.

My gosh, I had no idea that the Longhorns had that big of a grip on the conference.
That’s pathetic.

That has been the opposite for UF. Every other team can do the Chomp to mock us but we can't do it or we get flagged. Although I noticed this season we have done it a couple of times and didn't get flagged.

UGA caught the flag for Gurley doing it in 2012, but I think the neck slash immediately following it was what sent it overboard


I was always under the impression that UGA can't chomp at UF, but Bellamy got away with it last year so I guess it's fine.

They should pull a Georgia and after the first touchdown have the entire team do it over and over.

If anyone wants to see a ref job watch the WVU-Texas game from this year. That penalty was called three times. The last one 3 WVU players gave it to the crowd after the 2 point conversion to win the game.

frick Texas. If Horns down is a penalty flashing horns up should be a penalty too.

Horns down = frick Texas

Horns up = frick you we're Texas and better than you.

Same difference.

I remember one of our players getting flagged for doing it.

That is ridiculous. I don't blame the Aggies for wanting out of that situation. What a load of shite.

Josh jacobs got flagged for doing the “fins up” after an ole miss linebacker tried to twist his leg off 3 yards into the end zone. Crazy because there’s a Bama bias amongst refs

I'd apply the same logic for both UF and their opponent -- do it as celebration and you're cool. Approach the crowd or players and, fine, I reluctantly concede that can be a penalty. The problem with equating them is that it's super hard to do a chomp sarcastically. The horns down gesture isn't used by Texas, so its meaning is clear.

Mack Brown wanted a penalty if the CROWD did it.

Yeah, that is beyond pathetic.

Every Sooner in stadium needs to flash the horns down for the entire game.
