I know this is the NCAA, but Texas whines about this all the time.

To think this all started because Texas had the audacity to suggest that if Guns Down at a Tech game is taunting then Horns Down should be taunting as well. Then aggy spun it into their folklore, and all you SEC idiots swallowed aggy's bullshite whole, and here we are today.

That's some real crybaby shite there. They probably would have been okay if he had just given them the middle finger.

How long before the "horns down" becomes an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the SEC?

teasips when they see the "horns down" gesture:

They will have a tough time in the SEC. Fans here will latch onto something when they find it and not let up.

For those of us that never got into anything Texas, one way or another, what the heck is offensive about "horns down?"

Is it tantamount to shooting a bird to them?

I assume they do get their nighties in a knot about it.

I can see this is going to go over really big when they come into the SEC.

Texas people, start growing some thicker skin.

Texas soft: Big 12 officiating coordinator says ‘Horns Down’ gesture will result in penalty this season


quote:

Texas was at one point among the top college football powers in the country.
However, times have certainly changed in Austin.
These days, the Longhorns get rattled by opponents flashing the “Horns Down” gesture on the field.

So much so, that the Big 12 is planning to penalize opponents that use the gesture on the field this season according to the league’s officiating coordinator Greg Burks.

Here is what Burks had to say at Big 12 Media Days:

“If you do a Horns Down to a Texas player as an opponent, that’s going to be a foul,” according to Justin Martinez of the Oklahoman.

That’s about as soft as it gets.

It must hurt to know that you your school is famous for its homo shenanigans and that no one in this conference really believes that you belong.

Thank god i wasn't born an aggie. The big 12 didn't really accept you and neither do we.

Jesus Christ if the refs call a penalty on an SEC team for horns down, that ref better have armor guards to escort them (for the last time) out of the stadium

How long do you think those SEC refs would be used at any SEC game? The SEC coaches would blackball them.

They get worked up over this?

People actually bite Corndogs in front of us all the time and nobody does a damn thing about it.

They hate it. Can't think of a better reason than that, but yeah... they accurately think we are telling them to frick off.

Not one damn thing. It's been around since at least the 60s and no one ever gave a frick. Then one Saturday back in the early aughts one of our guys scored against Tech, did a Guns Down sign, and got flagged for taunting.

Our admin asked the league why Guns Down is taunting if Horns Down is not. Aggy's spin took care of the rest.
