They should have to use their thumb and pinky fingers as long horn instead of index and pinky fingers.

That is the hang loose sign, we were going to have to copy something due to our late start, I am ok with copying UT, they have been rather irrelevant lately anyways and in a different region of the country.

It’s only hang loose by weed heads and surfers. We would have been fine with it. If you think UT has been irrelevant you should get a look at that team on Fowler.

I did not see the reason to state the obvious.

We are a preeminent University and cannot have our president flashing the hang loose, surf’s up, fire up a bowl sign, C’mon NEB.

If by that you mean everyone in Hawaii.

I know from experience that it may have started in Hawaii but it is very common in the younger baked demographic both in CA, Fl and the entire east coast of surfers and posers which easily outnumber the surfers 50-1. As an ex poser I know this data to be factual.

Doesn't anyone remember when we first launched our hand signal there were instructions on how to do it?  It wasn't a direct ripoff of Texas, the index and pinky were supposed to be curved in a manner that would look more like horns were down to charge than stretching them out longhorn style.  But like so many other things that were tried, it died.  Complicated hand signs were too much for a new, novice fan base.
