Mongo don't know. Only pawn in game of life.

Seriously, I hope he is ok. He is passionate about Longhorn sports.

Yes, I’ve been wondering where etex is too. I have always gotten a kick out of his posts. I hope he’s OK!

Stepping up on soap box…

It is “a lot”, not “alot”. Thank you.

Stepping off of soap box…..

I got an F on my English paper in 9th grade because I used "alot".

 

[UTfish]

"alot" is reserved for Sirhorns...

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.
