"A national anthem singer says his performance at the Men's College World Series has been canceled because he made the Horns Down gesture before a Women's College World Series semifinal between Texas and Oklahoma State."
"Collier also posted screenshots of emails purportedly from the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., which said it was contacted by the NCAA because "we have documented proof that he made offensive gestures and mockery of a participating team ... and we do not feel comfortable allowing him to perform."

Wait, he did it right after singing the anthem and Texas was playing? What a fricking moron if so.

I'm a neutral party and showing my support or lack of support for a certain team after the anthem, I can see how somebody could be upset with that

They said I mocked the other team. Those words specifically, are why I posted about it. Saying that I'm making a mockery of a participating team because I put a Horns Down is ridiculous.
quote:Again, none of this is near the big deal that the NCAA is making out of it, but he says he knows that he's rooting against one team, he knows he's going to make a mocking/taunting gesture, and then when the NCAA calls him out for doing exactly that, he gives them the "but I didn't do anything wrong!
"I don't believe the Horns Down is any more offensive than a Gig 'Em or a Hook 'Em or a Wreck 'Em."
"quote:Jesus. Throwing that opportunity away all because of some inferiority complex.
Collier admitted he's disappointed to miss his chance to sing before Game 9 in Omaha, his scheduled spot that he landed after an audition process where he made the cut from what he was told were more than 100 applications from 17 states. But he added he has no regrets despite missing out on the Aggies making their first trip to Omaha since 2017.
"You know, if I'm going to do the Horns Down, I'm going to do the Horns Down," he said. "I don't think anybody's going to stop me from doing it."

Good for Collier for sticking to his guns and not apologizing (not that he ever needed too)

Making aggy look sympathetic is tough but somehow something UT related manages to do it yet again.

Did we not have have a SCOTUS ruling that the horns down sign was not offensive but rather a social norm these days.....

You aggies are a special kind of dumb (like the singer who threw away his chance to sing the anthem because he was jealous his softball team wasn't playing)

If they are sensitive about it now, wait till they get to the SEC.

So both UT and A&M are big babies.

NCAA Policies:
Taking a knee for the anthem: good
Giving a horns down after the anthem: bad

I hate that we're letting Texas in the SEC. They belong in the Pac. They aren't sec material.
