Did anyone actually read the article? It says:
quote:

In short, it will depend on how it is done. But it won’t be a blanket penalty.

“Unsportsmanlike conduct needs to fit 1 of 3 categories: Is it taunting an opponent? Is it making a travesty of the game? Is it otherwise compromising our ability to manage the game?” SEC coordinator of officials John McDaid said, according to a report from Action Network’s Brett McMurphy.

How those three questions get answered will determine whether a given celebration is ruled on.


Meaning that just like anything else if you do it in an opponents face it will be a penalty, not if you do it celebrating with your team. Very similar to the gator chomp, etc. You would get a penalty for running up to an opponent and just waving in their face after a big play nowadays, so I think this is a big deal about nothing.

It’s reasonable as written, but we’re talking about SEC officials

Rename the title or delete this whole post because the context of what was actually said is much more than "horns down = penalty"

Can we not do sarcastic Gator Chomps either. What a weak, subjective, unnecessary waste of time. Can opposing team call them a vagine without penalty.

Every new one of these posts is more cringey than the last. OP has fooled you all.

This thread needs to be deleted or at least have the subject edited. The person who started this thread obviously can't read. They did NOT say that horns down was a penalty. In fact, they said that as long as you don't do it in the Texas player's face it WON'T be a penalty.

It’s only a penalty if done directly at a player. No different than standing over a player taunting them.

You can’t do it directly in someone’s face but you can do it if celebrating with your team. Same thing applies to the horns down.

…only sometimes. If you do it in the face of a Texas player, yeah. If you do it after a touchdown to the crowd, no.

How bout just a horns up to the face? This seems polite.
