This is really nonsense. Nobody really understands college football and what makes it so great. It's the traditions. There
are no traditions in Pro football. Hell, the way free agency has taken over, fans are lucky to even know what player is
playing for what team. The only great tradition I can ever remember from Pro Football is Washington having their own
bnd and playing "Hail to the Redskins."

Mocking your opponent is part of what makes college football so great. It brings credence to the slogan..."what goes around,
comes around." Ripping at the heart of an opponents' tradition is part of the color of College Football. Everybody is involved.

When an opponent mocks your tradition, it becomes, in reality, a sign of respect for your program and your tradition(s).
If you weren't regarded as "Somebody" by your opponent, they wouldn't even bother with it.

Why interfere with that?

This makes Texas look worse than it already does. They need to soak up about it and take it on.
"We don't care, let them throw the horns down. Just know that when we are successful, score, win, make a great play, we'll be giving them the horns up."

This would put an end to the subject.

Exactly. There is only one school in the country that would make an issue of this. I know Im not yelling you anything, the entitled mentality behind stupid pussy stuff like this is what drove your team out of the league to begin wirh.

I forget who it was, but yesterday someone was asked what the SEC can expect in getting Texas...

What about "Revenue Down". Does indeed seem to be a penalty.

I predict the horns down thing is going to be huge this season............. just a guess..................... players would've tested it I have no doubt, but given the last week, it's going to be used on every play.......... lol.....

So, the Big 12 jumps when Texas orders and the horns still give them the ole :finger2: and bails.

And people wonder why Nebraska, Colorado, A&M, & Mizzou hauled ass.

When those programs left, it was the slow beginning of the end. I don't think the Big 12 recovers from this. losing their two biggest flagship teams....... IF they do manage to exist I think they'll become a group of 5 program....... this isn't the end. a few more programs will be bolting........

Yeah, I think it was just Texas doing Texas stuff and making the Big 12 their little bitch and then still leaving.

OK. So players do it draw a penalty for taunting.

Uh, ok. But the fans, esp in the SEC will be giving the horns down all kinda hell.

SEC fans can be relentless and if that's your sore spot. This is gonna be fun.
