Girl About Town masters the Texas Longhorns symbol

This weekend the Longhorns took on the Sooners and WON!!

Everyone at the station was cheering and talking about the win all Saturday night, especially after the Texans have been sucking big time this season. But don't worry, I still love the Texans. I'm convinced the only reason they are losing is because I haven't got around to attending a game yet to help personally cheer them on.

But back to the Longhorns. Did you know that doing the Texas Longhorns hand symbol is harder than it looks? Really...it is. And it's not just me who thinks so. I met a couple of other Texas newbies at Rice University and they said that it took them a while to master it - and make it look natural.

Here's what not to do:

1) Do not cross the thumb over your fingers, but place it on the tips your bent index and ring fingers -- like you're making a little bull nose. If you do it wrong and cross the thumb over the fingers, you just end up doing the "party-on" sign that rockers do at concerts.

2) Do not stick your thumb out to the side or make the fingers that represent the "horns" go out at an angle. This will make it look like you are doing the "hang loose" surfer dude gesture - which is very wrong when cheering the Longhorns to victory.

3) Do not bend your "horn" fingers. While you might think that you are making a charging symbol, it's really just lame. A true Longhorns fan keeps their fingers straight and proud.

4) Do not do the hand gesture upside down because then you'll just be cheering for Oklahoma. Very bad.
