Those are big shoes to fill. I bet Jahdae can do it.

They way they answered this gives me hope this discussions dies soon.

We’re going to evaluate it in context. Is it taunting an opponent? Is it making a travesty of the game? A travesty of the game is something that offends us, right? Kick it out of the football stadium, go put in a shopping mall or out in a parking lot somewhere. Well, does it offend someone? Then it’s probably making a travesty of the game.”

He’d continue…

“If a player is just doing it to celebrate with his teammates, maybe going back up the sideline after a touchdown or interception, I don’t necessarily have that as a travesty. I don’t have that directed at his opponent. So it’s contextual.”

The Big12 always seemed to answer this in a way that was less clear and made a point to continue to discuss the horns down as it's own entity while this SEC ref made a point to group it in with a group of other common hand sign celebrations. The big12 was saying the same thing but just in a way that made it more of a headline, again and again.

So if an opposing player scores a TD at DKR and flips of the Texas crowd with a horns down (because that's what it is) they get to throw shit at him without consequence?

Just win and it doesn’t matter. You look like a fool throwing the horns down when you’re getting your butt beat.

uhhhhh that's not what anyone said.

If any player does any gesture that is offensive, it is a flag. The horns down is not necessarily offensive but can be done in an offensive way. Same for the gator chomp, the ole miss shark fin, the aggy thumbs up. All of these can be done by the opposing team without penalty unless it is done in a way that is offensive or that would be considered taunting.

So, it is refs interpretation.

Yep. Taunting and unsportsmanlike conduct has always been that way.

Yes, and it's always caused controversy.

Coach Banks ties the knot.

No doubt, any call that is a judgement call comes with controversy.

Pass interference and some holding penalties (called and uncalled).

 

[RickyFlair]

I completely agree with the “horns down” not being a penalty. I think it’s funny how people think they are really “getting at us” by doing it.
Just pull a Castanza

Sometimes officiating crews come with controversy. Remember the Okie lite game in Austin a few years back?

 

[Baron]

Hands down Kelvin Banks

Banks married Pole Assassin. lol Good for him. lol

This was a hugely underrated post. I suggest you all reconsider. lol This is coach Banks and Pole Assassin is the screen name for his stripper wife. lol
