I can see the BS game-changing call now

quote:

Greg Burks gets the Horns down question. His answer on whether it's a penalty: "It depends." Says it depends on whether it's aimed at an opponent or just a sideline celebration. Said Will Grier's Horns down last year to the Texas fans "probably would be a foul."




Not the greatest picture I could find

One of players will definitely use that after a big play.

Your own quote explains that the gesture itself is not a penalty.

Brad Wing could have spread his arms and not been a penalty. He just couldn't do it to taunt the opposing players.


I am sooooo happy he did, though!

stupid rule. it's OK for Tejas to use the horns up gesture to taunt you but not OK for opponents to reciprocate?

just another example of unequal rules that empower the refs to steer (no pun intened) a game the way they want.

If horns down is a penalty then horns up should be one also

Will "horns up" be a penalty as well?

Then we create our own gesture of Tiger Fangs which just so happens to look just like Horns Down. How can they penalize us for Tiger Fangs but not penalize them for Horns Up?

May be the dumbest rule ever. So when a ut player flashes the sign it should be a penalty too.

Penalties of any kind relative to taunting or celebrating are dumb and should be completely removed. Completely subjective and can change a game because what, to preserve players from having their feelings hurt?

I fricking HATE bureaucracy in sports.
I guess doing the gator chomp is a foul as well? What about tomahawk chop?

So why isnt it a goul if Texas fans flash horns up at opposing players? Or Fla fans chomp at opponenets?

This is all we need, more JUDGEMENT shite for a ref to use to change outcomes. They already suck and miss to many calls as it is

I am not too sure many of our guys even know what the horns down gesture is...not a slight on them but the vast majority have no history with Texas, they are non conference...I dont even know if they know it is an insult.

Most Texas fans think it's lame to call a penalty regardless of circumstance.

The Horns down has been around since the Horns up. It may as well be OU's official sign.

This is the big 12 refs saying this and we won't have big 12 refs for our game right? So we should flash it all game so it's sooo offensive to them apparently
