In the biggest game of this past weekend, the Oklahoma Sooners pulled off one of their biggest wins in recent memory as they knocked off their hated rivals, the Texas Longhorns.
To celebrate their dramatic 34-30 Red River victory, Oklahoma linebackers Danny Stutsman and Jaren Kanak showed off matching “Horns Down” tattoos that they got on their right thighs.
Of course, the famous “Horns Down” gesture is a well-known sign of disrespect towards the Texas Longhorns.
Danny Stutsman and Jaren Kanak getting matching horns down tattoos is pretty incredible.

Needless to say, the images of the tattoos went viral on social media, exciting Sooner fans and angering Longhorn fans.
Unfortunately, however, the balloon of excitement was popped when Stutsman revealed that the tattoos were actually fake!
Danny Stutsman said after practice today that these are fake. I asked Brent Venables about them and he said, “I’ve got enough to worry about… They need to get their hair fixed first.” #Sooners https://t.co/2emLnAAksr

Stutsman and Kanak both had outstanding performances against Texas.
Kanak led the team with an impressive 13 tackles, which included a crucial sack, while Stutsman finished tied for third with nine tackles.

Oklahoma’s defense, while allowing over 500 total yards, made pivotal plays in key moments during the game.
They forced three turnovers, including two interceptions, and executed a remarkable goal-line stand in the second half … The Longhorns had four downs within the Sooners 2-yard line but failed to score a touchdown.
Out of seemingly nowhere, the Oklahoma Sooners have emerged as legitimate national championship contenders.
Now holding the #5 spot in the latest AP poll, they remain undefeated and may very well be in control of their own destiny.
Do you think Stutsman and Kanak should have got REAL “Horns Down” tattoos?
What do you think of Oklahoma as a title contender?
Are they for real???
