I hate it because it's just so cliched and unoriginal as you said. I'm going to take your sign... and turn it upside down. Boom. It's the equivalent of I'm rubber you're glue. It's thinking you're clever for saying "t.u."

It's also just fucking weird that fanbases we don't play regularly do it. OU does it, I think it's dumb, but I understand it. When I see Alabama do it... what? Do we know you?

When I was in school OU did it some, but it was mainly aggy.  I don't remember it from anybody else.   I don't know who started it, but its a very aggy thing to do.

I heard the band loud and clear on TV.  Better than you normally hear the opposing band.

I don't really remember even aggy doing it when I was in school.  But then again I don't remember much of anything from when I was in school.

When other schools outside of OU do it, it doesn't bother me but more annoys me.  Feels like they are just copying OU.  Strangely, when Sooners do the horns down, it doesn't bother me and on some weird convoluted level I even respect it coming from a land thief.  I think it has something to do with the length of time Texas and OU have been playing each other and the fact that OU at least has does something in its history in terms of winning championships.  I mean, Alabama certainly has won titles but since they are not an annual game them doing the horns down just feels fake and superficial.  When the old SWC schools and Big XII schools not named OU do it, none of whom have done much of anything in terms of titles, same thing.  Just a bunch of wannabe posers.

I was at UT in the early 80s. It started slowly (either when I was in school or right after) with OU, then Arkisaw. All I remember about about aggy picking it up later is that it seemed weird.

I always heard it was Arky hillbillies who were the first to do "horns down". But, according to the Daily Texan, the oldest photo on record is of a BU student in 1963. I don't think most okies are creative enough to have invented it.

This right here. I remember a poster(you?) last year making the same observation. The horns go down right before the head explodes upward goring the fuck out of some idiot who was being an aggravation.

 

[89Horn 1492]

I say embrace the shit out of the horns down.  Find a wall near DKR and plaster pictures of fans of every other school doing horns down so we can laugh at them.  Particularly after a win last night.  Put them up like skins won.

It’s like I once told an insufferable aggy friend of mine once, you hate us more than you love yourselves.  He gave me a confused look for a second, then he understood it.

I'm fine with opposing fans doing it. If it happens on the field and doesn't get called, then our players should be allowed to do something comparable without suffering a penalty. 

Yep, like slapping them upside the head with a helmet. 

[Macanudo 12925]

I am bothered way more by the way McConnaughey does his Hook 'Em than anything other knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, sister fucking fan bases do.  

[Tex Long 4346]

Some ignorant motherfucker flashes the Horns Down, two things come to my mind immediately:

1. this motherfucker has never been close to an actual Longhorn showing horns down;

2. Rent free, rent fucking free.

When the clock hit 00.00, our band with the loudest sound in the building and for miles, with the exception of a few trailer homes backfiring on their way out.

[Lhorn 4885]

We stick other teams bands in the stratosphere too so I ain’t complaining.

You could certainly hear the Texas band on the television because their crowd was so quiet

[Pasken 1309]

We should do horns up with one hand and horns down with another. Just claim our own ownership of it. That’ll really annoy them.

[HookEm 2443]

After the game as we were walking around, I put my arm up to my face like an elephant trunk and started telling Tide fans “Trunks down”.

They responded by losing their minds. “Horns down fucker!!! HORNS DOWN!!!!!!”

I might have been drunk.

[HookEm 2443]

One altercation outside the stadium involved a group of college girls running up to us. The lead girl yelling “HORNS DOWN CUNT!!!!!!” said with as much anger as you can imagine. I thought it was hysterical.

My friend walked with his horns raised high for at least an hour and a half after the game.

That's what's so weird about OU doing it.  They actually have accomplishments.  As for aggy, well they won it all in 1939.

I would love a montage at every home game, refreshed yearly and added to as the season goes on, of "how it started, how it ended" of Horns down followed by big plays/final scores. Please queue that up starting at Wyoming. Please and thank you.

[BigHornedLurker 1894]

I think its.super.lame.or whatever . 

 

Butt fuck it though, as long as we can respond appropriately who cares.

 

Nothing is as universlly recognized, embrace the hate especially where we can have rednecks subsidize our NIL

Imagine going straight from playing high school football this time last year to taunting Bama fans...in their own house no less

Is it coincidence or fate that Bama plays USF next Saturday so their fans don't have to learn a new hand sign?

never thought about it before, but yes, 0u doing it is natural, not weird, just simply the opposite of us

they have trouble with their schooner sometimes, and like aggy their band's repertoire is ..... limited ..... but they don't make commercials about how they are not weird

a fair and proper enemy without their own handsign simply adopted ours

okay then

everyone else just looks stupid

[orange dream 1241]

When I saw all the Bama fans on the Quad who couldn’t pass a TX fan without not only flashing horns down but saying “ horns down”  

I thought to myself we are in their head. You’re BAMA, you’ve won 6 titles in the last 14 years, your sign should be a big “ we’re number 1” finger and no one could say anything about it. But no, they need to make t shirts with upside down Bevos and spell out “ horns down” on them. 

My 10 YO son was asking why everyone is doing that? I told him that because OU does it All our opponents think it bothers us, but that I can’t really say that it bothers me or most horns fans I know much at all. I think it makes people look stupid and that they are more against us than for their team. 

having said all that, that was a fun scene last night and the secsecsec postgame chant was definitely a big middle finger to the mouth breathers. Glorious!!!

Oh no.  I hope another 100k fans of other programs don't go out and buy the official trademarked Horns metallic decals for cars and put them upside-down on the backs of their cars!  Whatever would we do?

I honestly think some fanbases do it because they don't have a hand sign of their own, or least not one that's iconic.  

This. Especially on camera, nobody knows what to do with their hands. Unless you're Texas, it's number one or horns down. Alabama fans doing it (almost instinctively) is a sight to behold, and relish. Bring it.

Even my dog Sebastian knows when the horns go down it’s time to get the fuck out of dodge.  Last weekend he was face to face with the bull barking at him when the horns were lowered.  He turned tail and the bull chased him all the way back to the house

[rpspeed 1351]

 

I didnt even notice

The better we get the more they’re gonna hate us. I want to see Horns down by the hundreds of thousands this year and every year.  In the stands, on the TV, over and over… never had bothered me one bit.

There are probably 1,000 posts this week on this board hurling trailer park redneck insults towards Alabamans. We aren’t exactly pure and innocent.
