Texas can’t catch a break this year, even in games where the Longhorns aren’t playing.
During Friday’s broadcast of the Cotton Bowl matchup between Alabama and Cincinnati, a couple of Cincinnati fans trolled the Longhorns.
As you can see below, cameras found a couple of Bearcat supporters giving the “Horns Down” symbol in the second quarter of the game:

The game is being played in Texas, so perhaps the Cincinnati fan pulls double-duty as a Longhorn hater.
The gesture didn’t go unnoticed on social media, either, as fans were quick to weigh in on the Horns Down signal:

Cincinnati has bigger things to worry about at the moment, though, as the Bearcats trail Alabama in the second quarter of the College Football Playoff semifinals.
