This entire fiasco is stupid and was brought on by the NCAA’s own rule about taunting. It’s not the horns down that is the issue, it’s that WVU’s quarterback tossed up a horns down before crossing the goal line. THAT, according to the NCAA taunting rule, is an illegal move. Had he done it AFTER crossing the goal line, this wouldn’t even be discussed today.

So it’s not about UT whiners at all ... it’s about a stupid taunting rule that needs to go away. Far, far away.

Exactly. While we expect good sportsmanship, a little taunting has always had it’s place in good rivalry. At the end of the game shake hands and walk it off. We’ve been doing that for generations.
