While I think it's an overreaction by Texas, I don't want OU getting flagged for using it.....the team gets enough penalties already.

seems like I recall baby Mack Brown complaining about this. Sad to see society becoming so sensitive. Im betting every sooner fan in the stands will be doing it all day
I hope this nonsense is not a big deal to the team as it is the fans.
To avoid a penalty they sure as shit will.I think it is CT, but I also think the team will honor riley's wishes. They did last year.

Whatever it is or isn't, this nonsense cannot be a distraction for Riley's team.Well the fact that an official has instructed the spirit squad and the Schooner squad to refrain from doing it is very telling in that OU has bowed down to the wishes of UT. I think it's wrong to do this.

The best revenge is doing well....so beat Texas !
And hopefully OUr flag planted !
Herman said he says Hook Em is school spirit, so why is a hand sign spirit exactly? His argument is flimsy and pathetic.
Will be sure to watch for the flags to fly after we see a steer player holding up a "hookem" coming out on the field, after a good play or satanist score...
No lack of credit was given to Riley and his players.I for one give Riley, his coaches and his players more credit than this. I mean if a cheerleader or a member of the Schooner squad is a distraction to the players, then Riley has already lost his team. OU officials telling the cheer squad to back off, back down from throwing the 'horns down' is simply pathetic weak sauce. The game is ONLY being played for the entertainment value. Nothing more and nothing less. And part of the entertainment is the crowd, the band, and the atmosphere at the game.

Riley stated his players would not flash the sign during the game primarily so his team could focus on preparation, thereby making this potential distraction a non-issue for his players and coaches.
Respectfully disagree.Riley is wrong on this one. Offensive genius, head coach badass... No one is perfect. He's a West Texas disciple. OU is something else.
If the "horns down" hand sign incites you to violence, then you probably already need to be in an institution. Geez, it's not like a racial slur, or insulting someone's wife/kids/parents.This whole "horns down", "hookem horns" outrage will likely lead to some people on both sides getting hurt.
OU and Texas already hate each other....and now this.
I’m talking about other people, not myself. You should have figured that out.If the "horns down" hand sign incites you to violence, then you probably already need to be in an institution. Geez, it's not like a racial slur, or insulting someone's wife/kids/parents.
I seem to remember a Cotton Bowl game in the early 1990s when Miami took over 200 yards in penalties while beating the Horns by 30. Wouldn't bother me a bit to see OU do something similar.
