“College Football 25” reportedly won’t include a popular taunting sign.

The college football game that has fans amped up and talking comes out July 19th (July 16th for those of us who bought early access), and the hype is at a deafening level.

Gamers are searching for any updates they can get, and for good reason. It’s been 11 years since the last college football video was released. A new one has been a long time coming.

Just don’t expect to see anyone taunting Texas in it.

“College Football 25” reportedly doesn’t include the Horns Down sign.

One of the most interesting parts about “College Football 25” is the fact it appears to have very in-depth gameday experiences when it comes to stadium atmospheres, including how players and fans act.

While popular signs and gestures are in the game, that only includes signs from programs. That means there will be no Horns Down in the game, according to Chris Vannini.

If this is true – and I’m sure it is – then EA Sports blew a big opportunity to take things to the next level with its in-game experience. The Horns Down sign is arguably the most well-recognized hand sign in all of college football.

People love to taunt and troll the Texas Longhorns with it. It’s been so controversial at times that it’s even been possible guys can be flagged for it in the past.

Why wouldn’t it be included in the game? It doesn’t make much sense, and is definitely a blown opportunity. Fans would love to be able to throw up the Horns Down sign after a big play against Texas. Throw the flag. I couldn’t care less. I’ll get those yards back.

Having said all that, there’s no doubt people will still buy and play the game. That’s a guarantee you can take to the bank. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
