I see 'pin their ears back' used wrong quite a bit. The losing team is the one that 'had their ears pinned back', but I see people use it in reverse, as in 'we're just gonna have to pin our ears back and make a play'.

Good one. I think maybe people get it mixed up with an old country saying - "back your ears"...means to go all out or be aggressive, like a horse does when running wide open (their ears are back, not sticking out like normal) or a wolf does when he is attacking (ears are back, not out or up).
