‘Offensive’ horns-down gesture gets anthem singer booted from the College World Series

Zac Collier is an Aggie through and through.

He went to college at Texas A&M, sang in a campus a cappella group and is very passionate about his alma mater’s rivalry with the University of Texas. So when the 27-year-old history teacher got the opportunity to sing the national anthem before a Women’s College World Series game between Oklahoma State and the Longhorns last week, he did what any Texas A&M fan — what any college fan, really — would do. He finished his performance, raised his fist in the air and flashed the ‘Horns Down’ sign.

Collier’s next anthem performance was supposed to be in Omaha, where the Aggies are playing in the Men’s College World Series. But it only took a few hours after the game for the NCAA to find out about his post-anthem hijinks and take action.
