    I don’t mind Horns-down as a hand-sign at all. Texas schools having hand-signs they’re overly attached to is just kind of a thing, and it’s ripe for mockery. Where it gets cringe is commissioning custom jewelry, like the OU staffer the broadcast just showed. Or maybe worse, if it’s not custom, and you’re literally putting money in the pocket of Roller-Derby UT.

    Also, a team that fumbles shouldn’t be allowed to benefit from the ball having rolled forward. Just feels bad, man.

      I don’t mind much either. Same thing with holstering the Texas Tech guns – it’s just having a bit of fun with the old SWC hand signs. But non-SWC teams doing the hand signs feels kind of lame
