DALLAS -- Texas arrives for its first appearance at SEC media days Wednesday, but an old Longhorns storyline preceded them a day prior.
SEC Coordinator of Officials John McDaid was asked if "Horns Down," the taunting gesture employed by Texas foes, would be a penalty as it often was in the Big 12, where it fell under the definition of unsportsmanlike conduct.
In the SEC's case, it doesn't pass the mall test.
"The act itself needs to be offending to the senses," McDaid said. "If you took that act out of a football stadium and did it in a shopping mall or a grocery store, would it offend the senses to a majority of the reasonable people in the area?
