The ones I know don't mind it, but most of em aren't crazy about moving to the SEC either especially compared to A&M and likely OU. I wonder why.

Their baseball coach should probably learn to cool it re: complaining about other fanbases.

Folklore or whatever you want to call it but the unsportsmanlike penalty for doing it was/is real.

The irony is that it only made it worse in every stadium and with every fan of other schools. That’s some funny shite.

Kind of similar to LHN hurting the brand instead of adding to it.

Incorrect. It's awesome! Watching a group of OU fans throw Horns down at Bedlam is hilarious. Within 5 years of us joining you'll be seeing it at the Egg Bowl and WLOCP, too.

The idea at the time was that neither one should be penalty. It's famous because of aggy, and any publicity is good publicity, so thanks.

You know how I know you're lying? I know several t.u fans that get really bent out of shape over it.

Hilarious

I can see how you'd think that has anything to do with anyone other than those several fans, but Longhorns aren't a hive mind like aggy.

Fixed. And no, I went to Texas, not Tulane.

BTW, congrats to you, Sir. Message Board Geniuses has published one of your posts!

I'll give Florida credit for something, opponents do the Gator Chomp in a mocking fashion against them all the time (Erik Ainge, Mark Ingram, Cade York, plus many more) but they never went crying to the SEC office to try to get opponents banned from doing it. That's basically what this is. I hope the SEC office tells them to piss off if they try a similar request over here

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,


Glad to hear that if giving the Thumbs down was penalty vs A&M that horn fans wouldn't ever mention it and make fun of Ags.

Sure dude.

No one at Texas did this either. You're perpetuating an aggy myth.

Scoring against aggy is no big deal, so no need to showboat.

Not a single person I know remotely gives a shite about this, not one.

I'm sure the back-to-back Director's Cup Champions are scared to death.

That thumbs down gesture to the Texas A&M crowd earned Reese a 15-yard penalty for excessive celebration, and helped the Aggies turn their next possession into three points. With Baylor's defense already doing its best to aid the Texas A&M offense, penalties like Reese's are seriously painful.
