Sports Illustrated appears to troll Texas on social media
The 2021 Preseason Coaches Poll, released Tuesday, has the college football world talking.
On Tuesday evening, Sports Illustrated tweeted a graphic of the poll’s Top 25 with a curious decision. On SI’s tweeted graphic, No. 19 Texas stands out for going “Horns Down” by flipping the Longhorns’ logo upside down.

Either someone in Sports Illustrated’s graphics department made a mistake or decided to troll the Longhorns. Either way, SI can expect a penalty flag from the Big 12 for going “Horns Down” in the tweet.
As of publishing time, the tweet is still up.
