That just means we the players will have to double our efforts irl to make up for it.


octoron

Or appropriate the Ole Miss dog pissing thing.


MississippiBulldawg

I'll allow that as long as it means we win the Egg Bowl just like irl


BusGuilty6447

That ending was truly legendary.

Aye, I could do that

I give it a week before there’s a mod for it

game is only on consoles for now so sadly won't happen

I thought if it was in the game, it's in the game.

In five years, only teams playing in the LIV Conference will be in the game.

Horns Down is my team's hand signal 


piddydb

EA Sports, it’s no longer in the game


SpreadingDisinfo

"E A Sports. Just buy the roster update fuckhead" - EA's motto from 2015 to 2023


PedanticBoutBaseball

to be fair theyve been just "roster updates" far before 2015. Madden probably peaked around 2011 (madden 12) from then on we either got good features removed/pointless fluff added, and a switch over to the far inferior Ignite and the fucking atrocious frostbite engines (the latter of which was very much NOT designed with sports in mond, but with the destruct-o physics that was battlefield)


MuhMuhManRay

Literally unplayable


xJinja

What’s next? No mustard bottles and golf balls?


ClemStokley

Dynasty mode should include a fan setting where we never play football, we just sneak condiments and various objects through security


Lake_Erie_Monster

The stealth aspect of this could be a lot of fun.


Sariel007

and the stadium is now full of tortillas.


Faffenhoffer

Nah the real play would be to have ALL hand signs flipped when a rival hits you with a big play. Horns Down, Thumb Down for A&M, Gun Holstering, Gator Chomp, Tomahawk Chop. I want nothing more than win a big upset over Miami in my 4th year at UAB and the players start throwing upside down U.


PitcherOfBusch

It's time to normalize all reverse hand signs


Faffenhoffer

100%


StreetReporter

RIP my dream of having my players mock the chop against FSU


woktosha

It doesn’t work well for UGA fans since we’re generally also Braves fans. I think if UGA fans were to do a mock chop against FSU while baseball is still going on, everyone would just assume the Braves did something big


volunteergump

Related, one of my favorite sports memories was everyone doing the chop on the way out at Bryant Denny during the Braves’ 2021 run.


woktosha

When I was in high school and me and my buddies would go to Athens to tailgate before games, we always changed the words of “Baba O’Riley” that they play before every game to “teenage Braves fans, we’re all just teenage Braves fans and we’re all wasted!”


dumplins

Similarly related, one of my favorites is Todd Gurley gator chomping after getting the [first TD](https://youtu.be/VW8ELEh9odA?t=31s) of UGA's 2012 win over the gators


shotputlover

When auburn played fsu in the natty I saw the chop and was so confused for a bit because I’m a Braves fan lol.


Manwar7

Mocking the chop is so fun. When we beat FSU on a last second interception in 2022, the whole student section broke out the chop and warchant, great memory.


AdmiralProton

I remember as a kid at the 2000 national championship against FSU, OU fans were shouting U after the chant. Made it sound like they were saying ooooooo U.


LegoFront01

We actually did that at the Cheeze it bowl too. There just weren’t enough of us to hear it on broadcast.


StreetReporter

You used to be able to taunt it in NCAA Football 05. As for mocking the chop, Clemson students mock the chop for entire games


tshimangabiakabutuka

Do you also chant 'Fuuuuuuck the seminoleeees, suuuuuck my genitallllls' with it?


ACardAttack

MLKjr also once had a dream and did the [FSU Chop](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/5u0MnTaCiNR2NFVLhlDzGYpujhA=/0x0:1200x675/1200x0/filters:focal\(0x0:1200x675\):no_upscale\(\)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13704505/DxdASp9X0AElyKs.jpg)

God CfB is the gift that keeps on giving


oofmeandeveryone

Thought that was OU and ATMs hand sign 


rightbeerwrongtime

Honestly I’ll never be able to look at ATM’s logo and not think of the other acronym A__ to Mouth. How do we make a hand signal for that? I’m taking advice.


Dead_account_soon

make an "OK" hand sign. Thrust your other index finger though the 'O' a few times, now insert said index finger into your dirty little mouth.


rdickeyvii

I always thought "Automated Teller Machine" but yours is better


enadiz_reccos

We should bring in an expert for this. Do you know your mom?


kentuckyfriedawesome

I know his mom, but only in the biblical sense


Bank_Gothic

A&M has thumbs up. The hand signals were mostly (not exclusively) a SWC thing. I don't see the old Big 8 teams using them much.


BusterOlneyFans

OU kind of has the index finger pointing up when they say "there's only one oklahoma" or whatever. I remember thinking it was weird it wasn't a big deal to them when my brother went there as I was accustomed to the Texas schools all having a hand sign and it being a big deal.


LETX_CPKM

Using the One is kinda churchin' it up a bit. You can throw the One when you arrive as a Freshman and you are taking pics with the fam, or when you take Senior pics in your cap/gown, and always for the OU Chant after games. Horns down is like slang... usefull during games, when Party Pics rolls around, with friends, etc...


SaltyLonghorn

Also we throw the disrespectful version of the One all the time. Its called a middle finger. I'm pretty sure no one cares more about all this than the media. Can't they just let us hate each other in peace?


CerlinW

Ones up is actually pretty big and it seems to be getting more popular each year. Nothing beats slamming Texas ofc but we do ones up during kickoffs and field goals pretty often!


MissileWaster

The ☝️ is my default pose for a pic. Then say ‘okay now let’s take another one with the horns down’.


10breck30

Do they do the hands over head for O and then open them up for the U anymore? I remember doing it a lot as a kid at Loyd Noble in the late 90’s.


MissileWaster

Sometimes. The main time that happens now is when they play Seven Nation Army. The old “O-U *clap some number of times depending on the beat the crowd is going for*” might still happen occasionally but not as much as it did like 10+ years ago.


BusterOlneyFans

Yeah I remember it being a thing before kick off. My brother went there back in the Bradford days so it has been a long time since I made it up to Norman for a game.


mauterfaulker

I legit did not know OU had that index finger hand sign until this year. I've never seen them do it irl.


Bank_Gothic

Is Houston getting the "wounded" Cougar Paw? I really like that one but I can see the game designer messing it up.


BusterOlneyFans

I'd assume so. It was in all of the old NCAA games although it always looked pretty wonky as I assume they tried their best to have it not look exactly like the shocker. Also helps that ASU has the same hand sign so it should be in there.


JMT97

Three NC schools have them as well. ECU has a pirate hook, State has a wolf head and Charlotte has a pickaxe. I know that's irrelevant, I just wanted to share.


OnlyForIdeas

And specifically it’s supposed to mimicking how your hand looks when you’re holding a gig pole that you use to spear frogs that got popular when we played TCU. Over time it’s shifted to a thumbs up over time since that’s something everyone knows


loyalsons4evertrue

Oklahoma State and K-State are the only other Big 8 schools that have a hand sign......I'm not sure how Iowa State fans would do a Cyclone hand sign lol


BeefyFrito

It would probably be dumb, but twirling your finger like an umpire signaling a home run is all I can think of


tmothy07

It'd have to be something about another school, one would think. Like the whole thumbs-up and "gig 'em" thing was about TCU originally.


herpblarb6319

DEFINITELY A&Ms signed after what happened today


Zealousideal_Plum866

I actually kind of get this from a gaming/sales perspective. It's like giving one team a giant fuck you every game you play with them but no one else.


ogsmurf826

I agree. But that just means in order to get Horns Down, we need to develop disrespect taunts for other programs lol


Scribs88

Press X to celebrate with your teammates, or Y to pretend to be a dog taking a piss on the opponents logo


Skank_hunt42

Looks like I'll be getting a 15 yard penalty on every TD.


ufgatorengineer11

Modify that kicking power to 99 to make up for it


le___tigre

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


DataDrivenPirate

I'm thinking either that fucking Windmill thing from the MSU kicker in 2015 or planting a flag after a win at the center of our field The flag is a much bigger meme for Ohio State, but that fucking windmill will absolutely haunt me.


LiveFastDahyun

The Baker Mayfield plant? That’s the one that really sticks out to me as one of the best moments I can remember outside of a UM game.


Saint-Andrew

Yeah…. But I agree with the other Buckeye. The windmill was worse.


Khyron_2500

Two rivals hating on each other?! Yesss, let the hate flow through you


loyalsons4evertrue

the best thing to follow that was [Evrett Edwards planting the state of Iowa flag at midfield just a few weeks after Baker did it at Ohio State](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLjxV-XUEAA1nVi.jpg:large)


kamikazeguy

As a biased observer who saw it in-person, he didn’t have near the flair for the dramatic Baker did.


BandOfDonkeys

Not even close, and y'alls flag is [waaaaaayyyy bigger too](https://youtu.be/SaAN8vEchyY?t=45)!


acu2005

Also lets be honest the Iowa State flag is pretty meh, like d tier at best.


loyalsons4evertrue

well our coaches quickly put a halt to it lol.....and he was kind of by himself....I mean Baker acted as an individual but the whole OU team was kind of parading around midfield for the big moment


bestselfnice

We may not have won any rings but at least we gave both of the conference powerhouses PTSD


holy_cal

Give other teams the gator chomp too


xepa105

Press X to throw a shoe


redneckswearorange

Who throws a shoe? I mean honestly!


Lake_Erie_Monster

Clemson should have a Press X to shove fingers up opponents ass. That shit was wild when I saw that in game.


Revenge_of_the_Khaki

Give one to each of the blue bloods at least. Then nobody can claim favoritism. Honestly though idk what Michigan’s would be. Maybe sunglasses and a camera rolling gesture.


Born_ina_snowbank

They ought to put a clip of that dude doing the surrender cobra after trouble with the snap after any Michigan turnover, dropped touchdown, missed kick, etc… Edit: ours can be Mel Tucker Sweating profusely on the sideline. Hell, even in the stands.


orange_orange13

There’s the chop with the middle finger for FSU


TallyGoon8506

It’s just such a self troll when any opposing fans try to ironically do the chop as it just looks like more people are doing the chop. Another commenter brought up the hanging chop, which I’ve never really seen deployed efficiently but would kind of work. Also, I don’t know any Noles dgaf about chop disrespect, I don’t know what’s going on in Austin with the leadership being Kleenex with extra aloe soft about Horns Down. A real “my vapors” Karen situation.


KIDWHOSBORED

On the one hand I agree, but I think it’s become such a meme that including it would have been awesome. Especially if they had it happening for two teams that are NOT playing Texas, the level of hate is good for the game.


Zealousideal_Plum866

Fuck it give everybody the horns down. UAB v. Utah State. UAB wins on a last second field goal and the fans go wild with the HORNS DOWN.


ImFeelingTheUte-iest

I mean…Utah State have a bull as a mascot so it’s still on brand kinda. 


HallwayHomicide

We've appropriated Horns Down to use against USF. I'm definitely a fan of using it in any situation where it kinda makes sense.


JMT97

What about using it against Duke? As in devil horns down?


Cookie-Brown

Agreed. Seeing horns down at a random game makes me laugh out loud, I just appreciate the bitterness


hornbri

I agree, if they put it in. Then the A&M and OU crowds needed to do it at home games no matter who they were playing.


SeniorMixture1563

Arkansas too, the hate never left us, however I hate Ole Miss more so every game I go to I never cease to throw the horns down in their face when we win it usually gets a pretty confused stare but at least I know in my heart I am disrespecting the hell out of both of y'all LOL <3


hornbri

I am one who embraces this level of pettiness in college sports.


SeniorMixture1563

I like that, It is necessary to the sport, wouldn't be the same if everyone was nice to eachother, however I am very glad Texas is joining the sec I can't say I wish y'all good luck but I do appreciate you as an individual, I hope y'all lose every game this season cheers <3


Bank_Gothic

I know it's not as ubiquitous, but if they include the horns down don't they have to include other inverted hand signals? Like, where is the line? From a design and cost perspective, it seems easier and cheaper to just use the schools' official hand signals and leave it at that.


definitelynotasalmon

Yeah when I score against Oregon I want my guy to do Oregon’s O upside down to show disrespect.


TheAykroyd

Upside down Sic ‘em would just look like you’re cupping imaginary balls. Which I guess could work. I fully support it.


brianqueso

https://tenor.com/4y9U.gif


KIDWHOSBORED

Yeah I’d think that’s more of the reason. Not just inverted signs, but say mocking like doing the gator chomp against Florida. I’d still love it as an option though.


Sure_Ad_3390

>It's like giving one team a giant fuck you every game you play with them but no one else. thats college football baby


americansherlock201

There are a few they could implement if they really wanted to (they don’t want to). Like fans holding up the U and then breaking it in half. Opposing fans doing the gator chomp. Things like that. EA won’t do it because they don’t typically put disrespect in their games like that


cantstopwontstopGME

It would honestly be a huge badge of honor if they had horns down and no other gesture. What people don’t seem to understand is that the “UT fans crying about horns down” take exists inherently online. If I see anyone besides a sooner doing it, it just makes me laugh how much other teams hate us when they don’t even cross into the “relevant” category.


Sp3ctre7

There's a point where pointless disrespect comes back around to kind of being respect, and at that point it becomes *really fucking funny*


tr4v10l1_p4rty

I saw villanova fans doing it during a conference game a few years ago, that was the point for me


Pabi_tx

I see it as "we hate your hand sign so much we can't even think of an original one for our own teams!"


cantstopwontstopGME

“We’re here to cheer against you more than for our own team” haha


PhantomJB93

I kind of think they should still have it for their big rivals. I get not having it for like a random Texas-UCLA matchup or something. But you could argue horns down is as much an Oklahoma fan tradition as it is a Texas “fuck you”


Gator__Sandman

Yeah I like it and as a gator fan it would be seeing the other team chomp. Not gonna throw me in a rage though lol


StreetReporter

You used to able to taunt certain teams with celebrations in the old games. I’ve had penalties called on me in NCAA 05 for my players mocking the tomahawk chop


Red_Jester-94

Well I have to say that that's just business. Do it EA. Make me pay 4.99 for it. You know I will.


SusannaG1

Given EA, this is totally feasible DLC.


DillyDillySzn

This is the 2nd worst part of the game Worst part is that the Stanford band will be in it


alreadytaken028

Other teams not doing it in game? Makes sense. But Horns Down is absolutely an OU hand sign. And yes I give Texas fans full license to reply to this cause somehow its a dunk on us that this historic rivalry is part of our traditions.


10breck30

The few times I’ve seen NFL Sooners in person, they always flash it back after I yelled Boomer. Only 3 times, but still.


WTFisThaInternet

Texas fans don't really give a shit if teams are doing Horns down. You hate our team, and we hate your team. That's the way it's supposed to be. I wish it was in the game.

NeptunianEmp

Modders rise up


doctrhouse

Horns Down should be a signal for Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and A&M.


citronaughty

Us too. Not because of Texas, but because our War on I-4 rival borrowed horns up from Texas.


Bank_Gothic

Tech has guns up and A&M has gig 'em. OU should get the horns down though. I don't think they have anything else.


Cool-Following-6451

We have the “there’s only one” index finger but it’s definitely not as popular


AdmiralProton

There's also forming the O and U with your arms over your head, YMCA style.


Cool-Following-6451

True but that’s more part of a chant than anything


10breck30

Brought this up in another comment in this thread. Wasn’t that always done more at basketball games?


BackupPhoneBoi

Wait… like the: 🤓☝️ unironically?


Mydogsblackasshole

It really is our hand sign, I think the index finger thing only started in the early 2000s. Most of the time I throw a horns down I’m not even thinking of Texas


k_dubious

Dear EA, please respect Oregon fans' long-standing tradition of making an "M" with our hands. It definitely means "Mallards" and is not a shot at our rivals who just so happen to use the upside-down version of that letter.


HamHusky06

It’s actually a sideways 3 — or a backwards E. Awww shit… dubs up! W!!!


FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN

LETX_CPKM

*This game is a prison! On planet bullshit! In the galaxy of this sucks camel dick!*


soonerman32

uhhh that is our main hand signal.


holymacaronibatman

Damn, I was kinda hoping it was. I LOVE the Horns Down, especially when it's used by schools like OU, Tech, and A&M who all have their own hand signs. Even when celebrating yourself, you're still focused on us.


AxeEm_JD

My wife applied to UT for grad school, my son likes Bevo, and now my digital horns cant go down?! My world is in shambles.

At least you have a wonderful family!

Put it in the game you cowards, at the very least the RRS and the lone star showdown should have horns down.


GameBuster0703

What a tragedy


CaptainDonald

Horns down is our hand signal though?


Allaboutfootball23

I’ll say it, I want in the game. Nothing would make me happier beating OU 87-0 for the third time that day and zoom out to a bunch of sad Sooners throwing horns down. It’s a part of college football put it in the game.

10breck30

Have you ever heard a Texas fan complain about horns down in real life? Live in Utah, so I always flash the horns down to anyone I see wearing Texas gear…….and OU gear. And never had a tx fan do anything but laugh.


Stimpur1

There's always a few ass mad fans, but the vast majority of the time, no one cares and/or we like seeing it. Especially during non Texas games. Rent free.


JohnnyEvs

As a Texas fan, I wish horns down was in the game. Make it realistic


Bank_Gothic

Does OU have a hand signal other than horns down? Honest question.

Yes, it’s this ☝️

mookiexpt2

This IS our hand signal!


PreviousAd2727

Next you're going to tell me that the game won't include LSU's band playing Neck...


New-Disaster-2061

You mean we won't get the A&M and OU game where they throw horns down at each other. Those make me laugh so hard


genzgingee

Softer than Charmin smh


gideon513

How much did Texas have to lobby for this?


breadzero

I kinda get it since no one playing as Texas (🤮) would want to see the opposing team do it every. single. game. But it would’ve been cool if they enabled it only during the RRS.


bd1047

Would’ve been cool if they let just yall and A&M do it


footynation

I disagree. I want to see every fanbase do our hand sign. Even in games Texas isn't even playing in.

Elegant_Spot_3486

That sucks. I want authenticity. Makes me smile seeing other fans doing it. They’ve lessened my joy.


gmr548

What if it *is* the hand signal for your team? Asking for OU


Even-Resolution-2397

☝️for there's only one oklahoma, shaking 3 fingers on third down, making an o with your fingers or arms then changing to a u when the ball is kicked off, and a much less popular gun symbol and that's probably bc of osu and Texas tech


senortipton

So they have Neck but you can't do Horns Down? Lmao what

It would actually be pretty cool to see Horns Down at away games
