Texas Longhorns History of "Hook 'em Horns" hand signal

Have you ever wondered when the "Hook em Horns" hand signal got started? Here is the answer for you! Harley Clark was the head cheerleader at the University of Texas at Austin, and in 1955 at a pep rally, he introduced the "Hook 'em Horns" hand signal. His reasoning was that the Longhorns were playing a "fine team" and they had to "make up in spirit what we lacked on the football field." So, at the pep rally, Clark showed the student body how to make the Horns hand sign and as head cheerleader, ordered the sign be used from that point forward.

Clark had gotten the idea of the hand signal from fellow student Henry Pitts, three days before Clark introduced it at the pep rally before playing Texas Christian University.

What might look like a way to show you like heavy metal music to some people, all us Longhorn's fans know better!

Hook 'em Horns!!!
