Texas expected to face more ‘Horns Down’ drama at TCU​

Kelsey Dallas

Texas basketball can’t shake the “Horns Down” drama.

Two weeks after coach Rodney Terry criticized UCF players for mocking Texas’ famous hand signal after a Jan. 18 game, fans of other Big 12 teams won’t let him forget his comments.

On Saturday, ahead of Texas’ game at TCU, a group called Barstool TCU will reportedly hand out 500 “Horns Down” T-shirts to TCU students in the school’s student section.

It’s all part of the farewell tour. It’s almost as if they have asked for it to happen. Classless or not, if you reveal a weakness to your opponent, they would be foolish not to exploit it. It’s hard for me to believe that the coach and others bothered by it would be foolish enough to show their hand like they have. Of course, it could be that the coach wants this to happen to fire his team up. Kind of a “Br’er rabbit and the briar patch” scenario.

I don’t think they want it. I just think they’re delusional enough to think others should respect their golden hand sign.
They better not do frogs down or I will go crazy….or laugh at them, one of those.

I’m sure the SEC fan bases will be more understanding of the UT fans sensitivity on the matter. Will be fun to watch them lose their high horse status over the next few years. Expect victim mode.

The horns down sign is just an obvious (to me) reaction for the fans of opposing teams. The horns sign became very famous nationally during the 60's (yes I know it was first used against TCU in '55). There are so much worse things to do than just invert a hand sign. Now there are a ton of hand signs around including Houston's cougar claw, TCU's horned frog sign and predating them all the aggy gig-em, which is just a thumbs-up (and was first used against TCU).

Just way too obvious and silly for the horns to get upset. The only thing meant to denigrate Texas the university, is the "t.u." thing aggy has and really only makes sense to an aggy.

Interesting the refs called the penalty on WVa. If little things like this are taunting, make sure you call all the taunting.

Comes off as a bit Aggie-ish to me.

A lot Aggie. Like their “sacred grass” rather than saying get off my lawn.

The one I really enjoyed from SWC days was Rice using just the one finger for, “Peck ‘em, Owls.”

From Canva:

Some say burnt orange symbolizes negative emotions such as selfishness, pride, or aggression...

Really dislike that color.
I always thought of it as some variety of brown.
