Whorns Down

[CyclonesRock]

Just a random observation from the game yesterday...Nearly every time they showed fans on video boards, they would make the "horns down" gesture. I get that if we are actually playing Texas. But, why do we feel the need to use a derogatory gesture targeting a soon to be former league member when we are playing someone else? I had absolutely zero thoughts about Texas when I entered the stadium.

That’s weird. But if people want to do it more power to them. Texas and Oklahoma are awful and I wish them and their fans nothing but the worst.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Because **** Texas.

I wore a “Horns down” shirt to the game yesterday, and I made the gesture plenty of times to people. Why? Because **** them.

Cannot wait for November 6th

Um maybe because we just ended an off season in which UT was the driving force in putting the long term future of our athletic depart in jeopardy.

ESPN told him it was derogatory.

 

[mynameisjonas]

We shouldn’t let this thread go to waste.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

So did the Big 12.

Do you know what we really should do for college Game Day this weekend, completely ignore the Iowa Hawkeyes, and just bring signs bashing on Texas.

And Oklahoma. Not sure why they get a pass.

Because we all know Texas instigated the whole thing. (along with ESPN)

that’s fine but Oklahoma went with it. We should hate both.

Actually ESPN told the Big XII to tell us...

**** Texas

 

[cyclone1209]

Because **** Texas.

This. We can all agree on this.

They have created this angst against them by their actions, their 300 MM annual athletic department budget, and unbridled arrogance.

Oh and every ten years they look to break up a league because "we aren't happy/want more power"

 

[CyclonesRock]

Because replicating this would be too hard...
