I always thought it was two different signs? The Texas one is with your thumb and two middle fingers together pointing out and the BULLS one with your thumb over your two middle fingers more like the devil horns in rock. I could be wrong, but two different signs if you ask me and ours is better.

Take a look at this link, under the Austin Components..

You'll see what I mean.

The Hook em Horns®, is the making a hand gesture with the fore finger and pinky extended upwards while pulling the middle & ring finger inward. Ours is similar but the two middle fingers are extended slightly less inward by about a 1/2 a degree, thus not the Hook em Horns®. It is however a variation of the traditional "BullSh-t" hand sign. Now if UT wants to say the have the exclusive rights to Bullsh-t Then they would have a legal argument!

I was just watching college football live and they were talking about the longhorns.  They had message board comments poping up on the bottom of the screen during the discussion and one was from a Longhorn fan complaing about us stealing the sign.  ::)
