I told my wife they need to change to holding their arms up and then drop them like sawed off horns... If anyone complains, they can say they were working out a cramp in their arms.

Still laughing, this is so weak and silly. Horns up is equally offensive so what about that?

This should not come as a surprise, but actually, it really does, even for sips.

My favorite part of the article...

"I hope in the future that somebody else's symbols will come into play and not just the Horns."

Translation: This rule was created specifically for the horns and no one else.

So wait, are our football players and our fans supposed to get grossly offended when someone does a thumbs down to an Aggie?

Is there anyway to tell them we don't give a *****

I've been doing horns down since I was a wee little thing. Ain't stopping now. #AlwaysHornsDown

Of course this is also a school that won't even sing their own fight song anymore. Poor little things!

what is the penalty.....yardage or ejection? (this is super serious stuff!)

If an opposing player can do a thumbs down when they play us and not get penalized then it shouldn't be a penalty if someone does horns down.

The real question is, will teams get flagged for throwing it with the horns up?

Outstanding work here. Great question. Could be construed as taunting either way perhaps?

This. I LOVE it when opposing teams do a thumbs down against us. Of course, I hate that they just made a play/touchdown when it happens BUT the thumbs down is a sign of their hate. As we continue to win at a high level, it will become even more common. When you win, everyone is your rival. Everyone hates you. Being hated for the right reason is being hated because you win so much. Being secure means embracing and thriving in that hate. Only an insecure person, school, fan base would not want to embrace everyone else's hate.(whorns)

Poor silly little sippies. So special....so special.
I'm a Vol fan. I don't care what gesture you make at me. We deserve it because our team sucks ass. tu needs to realize that they too suck, and they deserve the gesture for their subpar play. The meek will inherit the s***.

Well spoken. Football is nothing without hate.

so here's what some school should do, when theyre up by say 20 pts.

Give the horns down and get a 15 yard penalty. then do it again before next play a d get another 15. then another, and anither and another til theyre on their own 10, then half distance then half fistance etc.

do it 20 times in a row.
The B12 would finally realize how absolutely stupid the rule is..

That time when ESPN made Jessie Palmer issue an apology.

It's funny how fighting something so hard brings more attention to it. I'm betting you'll see more "horns down" from opposing fans in the stands than ever before this season for this reason alone.

Gotta tell you, I'm hoping the Hogs BTHO TU.

So is it also taunting if a sip player gives the horns up sign to an opposing player on the field? This is all so dumb.

What a joke of an athletic Dept. Worry about the teams you field and not some stupid hand gesture.

I will hope that if a ref ever gives an opposing player a penalty for doing the Gig'em down that our coaches would simply decline the penalty. How classy would that be?

Arnies delighted expression at the end of the GIF is hilarious!

Now you know why they play Rice less frequently. They are now their own parody.

Is this stupid penalty assessed vs a non BDF team?

This would be sweet poetry if the horns slipped into the B12 title game because a horns down taunting penalty was the difference in the TCU or Iowa St. Game. Let's face it OU can afford to throw the horns down when they go up by 20 in the first half.

And yet, many Ags clamor to climb back in bed with them so they can brag to their brother in law from Muleshoe every now and then.

Never. Again.

I used to be squarely in your shoes. BUT.

Some of us want it to resume because we have kids, and they deserve to experience the greatness of kicking 'sip ass, and yes, being screwed now and agsin so they understand WHY we hate 'em.

If many mire years go by, we'll have a new generation of Ags not even knowing what the rivalry really is.

i dont want to risk that. the greatest monents of my tine in Aggieland involved t.u.

im not selfish enough to deprive my kids of that for my own personsl benefit. you may not get that, but so be it. Id like to hear from parents of current studentsand what their kids think. mine is red ass and he wants to kick their ass- he was raised well!
