Herman was asked after the game about Grier doing it after the 2-point conversion and Herman he thought that an unsportsmanlike penalty negated a score if done before the player reached the endzone. Texas, Herman, nor players said anything about it prior to the WVU game and Sills was flagged in the first quarter. No the one with Grier was he was high stepping into the endzone and stick the ball out ( I think towards a Texas player but not sure), so he was taunting before he scored. But oh well, still should have stopped him before that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Herman was complaining about the inconsistency and anybody that watched the press conferences knows that. WVU was penalized for taunting after the Stills TD, but wasn't after the Grier TD. I know he sounds petty, but he is making a good point. If the Stills taunting was a penalty, then why wasn't Grier's? If Grier's wasn't a penalty, then why was Stills'? You can't cherry pick those kind of calls. It's not that hard to understand what he was trying to say. I couldn't care less if anybody does the Horns down sign, we're just living rent free 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle34 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Ehlinger is going to have to play better than he has been lately, for Texas to win. We need dual threat Sam and obviously some long clock eating drives. Boyd and those back end boys will need a great game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allow too many big plays. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the press conference, only heard soundbytes from it. Stupid me! I agree about consistency. That's my biggest problem with officiating, especially with the targeting rule. I've seen so many targeting calls go uncalled and then it feels like an A&M player brushes the helmet and boom.... Play is stopped, 15 yards are added, and players are ejected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with what they consider a catch. I think those are the two most inconsistent calls made. Of course, the latter is probably more NFL related, lol.

I wasn't trying to take a dig at you. I've seen the story taken out of context on other sites as well so I just threw in my 2 cents lol. I agree with the targeting. I understand protecting players, but my goodness, those targeting calls take FOREVER. Not to mention almost every time there is zero intent by the defensive player. It's a part of playing the game. And the replay is wayyy overused if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like an opponent doing the Gator chomp. I don’t know why this is such a hard concept for everyone to understand. I personally don’t care because I think it just fuels Texas players, but the only reason for another school to mock one schools hand gesture is to insult or taunt. I personally think for all the schools that do a "horns down", it's really a sign of stupid respect to Texas whether it's meant to ugly or not...I mean, these schools are taking their celebratory time thinking of Texas...thank you. Many of these schools don't have their own real hand sign that's known or cared about...UT's is known everywhere, nationwide!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelvisPresley Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 15 hours ago, JohnnyFootball said: A lot of different teams did it. All of them have lost (SHSU, WVU, Ole Miss). Cause unlike Herman, our players didn't whine about it and demand the rules be changed, they played on the field. If Florida can do the Gator Chomp, other teams should be able to do it as well. How do you know they're not just saying "gobble up the opposition" instead of taunting? You can't prove intent. all the signs you refer to aren't done in reverse or upside down in some negative weird way...do they chomp themselves or throw money or take the bell out their cowbell and shake an empty one? all are kind blah and just not the same really...just look like they could be a fan of the team actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it’s funny to me to see somebody not playing Texas, giving the Horns down or an entire stadium full of peeps “sawing the horns off” of the rebels, tigers, or whichever team not named the Longhorns that they’re playing. OU and aTm both do it when not playing Texas. Rven Texas Tech was smart enough to come up with something original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldognation1 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I just don’t understand why everyone in the media etc. is acting like the it’s Texas fans that take the horns down as offensive & are wanting it called? As a Texas fan, of course I can’t stand the horns down but it’s just part of it! Almost all the Texas fans I know don’t think it should be a penalty. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the media is making it out as the Texas fan base is soft want it called a penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are literally ruining this country, and so many of the things that make it great. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldognation1 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Any news on how Sam’s shoulder is?

I don't appreciate the implication. OU will be trying to get as many shots on Sam as possible regardless of his physical condition. Because this is football, and knocking the #### out of the ballcarrier is part of the game.

Yesterday Herman said Sam practiced all week and looked very good. He actually reaggravated his shoulder vs ISU and Texas didn’t run him much vs KU. Texas and Sam will do whatever it takes to win. I don’t expect him to be limited. Unless he takes a direct shot from a Dlinemen I think Sam will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
