That being said, how about when throwing the Go Bulls sign, give it a twist/fist pump--kind of a mini-version of what's done during The Bull? It both pays homage to one of our traditions and--at least in person and on video (it can't be helped in still photos)--helps differentiate it from the Hook 'Em Horns that it resembles. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other team does it. a) because it's stupid or because shoop is a genius. YOU MAKE THE CALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same, should we be copying the hook em horns sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'd love to see something that distinguishes between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen another variation with the two hands you describe put on the outside of two closed fists of another person--"too much metal for one man!"

I don't think anyone's going to confuse USF with Tejas any time in foreseeable future.Besides, it's ingrained...live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
