Big 12's coordinator of officials on whether Horns Down celebration is a penalty: 'It depends'
Horns Down has been a thing for a long time, but now it's under more scrutiny than ever.

ESPN
Big 12 -- 'Horns Down' OK, depending on usage
If a player quickly flashes the "Horns Down" sign after scoring a touchdown in a non-taunting manner, he likely will not be penalized, the Big 12 said.

When the game is close and they want Texas to win that's when you'll see the flags.

Advise, stick with flashing the Horned Frog sign, let WVU and the others get penalized for the horns down gesture.

I'm just hoping TCU is all business. Respectful while kicking arse. TCU needs to win this year, be a top 10 program, and let the play on the field speak for them.

If horns down is taunting why isn’t flashing the horns up sign? Or any other? This may be the most hippy dippy thin skinned dumbass crap ever.

Tom Herman can mock opposing players but can’t handle horns down. That guy can go darn himself. If I were GP, and the frogs were up on the horns by an insurmountable amount, I would tell every player to go flash the horns down in Hermie’s face and then walk away doing the backpack thing. I hope that guy spontaneously combusts mid-coitus and doesn’t finish. He can live in hell with Urban Meyer and a giant case of blue balls.

That'll be a 15-yd penalty.

It’s not a penalty for taunting, it’s a penalty for being disrespectful to the opponent. Horns up is supportive, horns down is antagonistic. That’s why one is a penalty and the other is not. Still the most hippy dippy thin skinned dumbass crap ever, though.

Horns up triggers me. I need it to be stopped so I can watch games in a safe space.

The big 12 just seems so bad at the messaging in regards to this. If a player is throwing the horns down to celebrate with his teammates it is fine. If he is standing over the QB and doing it, then it is a penalty (like almost all taunting penalties).

This is really no different than most taunting penalties.

wiggle your fingers when you do the horns down and call it a cockroach

I teach my kids that you cheer FOR your team not AGAINST your opponent.
How is this any different than fans cheering an injury?

Remember the fat, drunk, slob in the stands calling out our players and cheering TCU injuries? Don't be like this guy.

Penalty: College kid scoring a crucial touchdown late in the 4th quarter, directed at no opposing player.

Not a penalty: Adult head coach mocking the opposing quarterback in his line of sight.

scheiss wHorn.

Exactly! I’m offended by their Nuremberg-like stadium full of raised hands of horns up arrogance...

Literally the softest thing ever. Herman is a POS

When they score a TD and do horns up on the road.....that’s taunting the other team, don’t tell me it’s a pride thing, it’s bringing attention and should be a penalty
