I was discussing an outsiders opinion on the topic at hand. Taunting is taunting, and is currently worth a penalty. But I don't think the horns down rises to the level of offense that some might give it. In an outsiders opinion.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct Penalty for Showing "Horns Down"

Send them to the "Low T" center. Some of the guys in our stands need to eat a hamburger and pound a beer.
oldschool, honest question. What would be the fans reaction at Kyle Field if a Texas player scored and afterwards gave the double thumbs down to the a&m fans or bench? Would they just "ignore it, or laugh it off", or react differently than that?
Also, bringing in some of the fans from the Mexican men's soccer team would be helpful. Every time the opposing team scores, they could teach Texas fans to yell "PUTO". 
Well, we would be pissed they scored and if he did the thumbs down we would call him awful things and tell him to sit the F down. But I wouldn't think anyone needed an apology. It's a game....the taunts go both ways. IMO
What apology are you referring too? The Jesse Palmer from years ago? No one is asking a player on the field for an apology. We just said it’s disrespectful.
I love the fact that when our players score they throw the Hook’Em up towards the fans. Taunting the opposing team .
.Sorry...don't think it is "disrespectful". It's just trash talk, and is mild compared to even as recent as the 80's and 90's. Do any of you remember the Miami Cotton Bowl? (apples/oranges I agree....but)
Who is asking for an apology?? The aggy toy soldiers would probably pull their swords on a player if he did the thumbs down, lol.
Sorry, not apology....just not worthy of offense IMO.
Drawing your sword on anyone at a football game deserves an apology. I will agree on that one.
We tend to go full Aggie sometimes.....more often than we like to admit. And our football team still sucks.

Speaking of taunting. I got my chance in Vegas at a bar I was watching the game at. OU fans sitting a few feet from me were having drinks and their friends were buying another round. Introduced themselves and figured I was a fan cause of my cheering. Told me their friends are from Oklahoma and they were OU fans. I mean it just came out...OU sux! Friends laughed at the bar not sure about the OUsux fans. Good time!
I think I speak for most Texas fans.... We are just tired of it. It's classless and unoriginal. At least back in the day fAggy made up some songs about us and didn't have to go horns down.
Hypocritical
Nothing can ever top OU's coaches condoning their players physical assault on people by the lack of discipline that has always perpetuated within the Sooner football program. OU has always been a rule breaking, outlaw school with lax punishment for any kind of crime committed by its football players.
This Sooner is seriously the stone-cold dumbest occasional poster on this board. Yes, even dumber than incoherent, adult-diaper-soiling submoron Mister Moses. I thought MM had banned him before (his first post here included "Texass"), but it appears not.
Sideline vs field of play. Returning fire.
Still not a good look.
2-1 I win.

Well how very objective of you per usual. When a player from another team gives your fans the double middle finger in your stadium, come back and give a more honest opinion.
I'm not offended. Just speaking for myself, the question was asked what we thought of the unsportsmanlike call. I said that horns down is taunting, I mean how is it not? If it is a rule then it should be enforced.
Pretty freaking simple.
yeah, I saw this argument on Twitter
Tom Herman didn't say he was offended by the taunting, just that he thought the rules weren't enforced.
I always marvel at the absolute stupidity of the human race.
Why does everyone think that someone has hurt feelings when there is a disagreement? LOL.
Your post was irrelevant to the OP. Thus I posted what I did.
Lol. Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings bubba. Just stating my opinion. Sensitive lit
I said it shouldn’t be flagged which was absolutely relevant to the OP. All good man.
Your 2nd sentence made it seem as though you justify taunting because a player get toasted. And then you mentioned whining.
None of that makes sense. Taunting is unsportsmanlike. Horns down is taunting. If it's not taunting then what the hell is it? Flag it and move, or do that shit on the sideline.
I guess it’s just a difference in mentality. Like I said, all good man. Not going to get into an internet dispute.
Isn't that what sports message boards are for? To argue? lol.
As I stated from the beginning, I don't care either way about horns down, teams/players stop doing it when they're getting their ass kicked, but it is taunting. And taunting on the field of play is deemed illegal and thus warrants a flag.
If an opposing player gave the double middle finger to your fans in your stadium, would you say that shouldn't be flagged also?
The reason the taunting penalty exists is to stop an altercation it's just that simple. It's in place for a reason if the NCAA takes that off the rules I'm fine with that just expect some one to get their asses handed to them on the field by fan or player.
So did anyone else catch the unsportsmanlike conduct when wv went for the 2 point conversation and Grier high stepped it into the endzone? Well he was flagged and it should of been 15 yards and the points taken away and to retry the two point conversion. But it was accessed on the kick instead so that call was wrong just like many from that game.
That's why ya don't fight to win games , if ya can't fight this!
After the game, the Mountaineers tried to plant a West Virginia state flag at midfield, prompting several UT players to start pushing and shoving the visitors off the midfield logo.
“It’s disrespectful,” defensive tackle Chris Nelson said. “I just took it as that shouldn’t be going on, but at the end of the day, they beat us. Why try to fight it now?”
No wonder we are in this shape, no fight left in them!

Oh hell no! If I were playing at Texas and an opposing team tried to plant their flag on my field I would lose my sh*t! It would have been ON!!
