Hook 'em to YOU, Mr. President

I have had this picture on my computer for a long time. I think it is so great looking. While President Bush was Governor of the Great State of Texas. He would show up at a lot of the University of Texas games. We really could get a good look at him at the Basketball games. I think he learned TO USE the "Hook 'em Horns!" sign during those years. Funny thing... once you make that sign as a sign of excitement and approval, you just never use anything else. When you go out of town, people recognize each other as Texas fans, when Hook 'em is flashed!

Look at Earl Campbell when he was with Houston Oilers...yep, he was always doing the Hook 'em sign after a TD. I saw it from New Orleans and Miami..where ever our players go.. You can watch any UT EX in the NFL and you will see those fingers flying up to give OUR SIGN.

Harley Clark, a UT alumni, introduced the sign at a pep rally when he was a cheerleader at Texas. (I see umpires and baseball players all over, making OUR SIGN, of course they think it means 2 outs. We know better)

When the President of the United States puts his horns up you know it is something pretty special. Is there any other College sign that is more recognizable, or used? (For that matter, isn't BEVO pretty recognizable? *That would be the little longhorn decal on the side of the helmet* We have people who don't like UT, giving what they say is "upsidedown Horns", they think they are insulting us...but I always tell them thanks for giving our sign...it is Hook 'em Horns, no matter what direction your fingers point. Up, down or sideways..still Hook 'em. To all the people from other teams..keep giving our sign..we know you don't have one for yourself..just feel free to use ours!!!

Since our President is a Texan, and one of his twin daughters went to UT, it means just that much more to him. Thank you for giving the University of Texas a great backer!

Hook 'em Mr. President!!!
