Article name

Should the name of the article be changed to "Wreck 'em Tech", like the Hook 'em Horns or Sic 'em Bears articles? Almosthonest06 (talk) 04:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Wreck 'em Tech" seems more in keeping with the fight song than with the hand gesture. "Hook 'em Horns" = horns hand sign; "Sic 'em Bears" = bear claw; "Gig 'em Aggies" = gig (barbed stake used for stabbing frogs). I've most commonly heard the Tech hand signal called "guns up"; but, admittedly, I'm mostly on the outside looking in. Until we come to a decision, I've created a redirect for Wreck 'em Tech. →Wordbuilder (talk) 04:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, the redirection should take care of it. I know here at Tech people say "Get your Guns Up!" and stuff like that but I wasn't sure if the phrase "Wreck 'em" went with the hand sign like "Hook 'em" does.Almosthonest06 (talk) 05:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking along the lines of "Get your Guns Up!" when I created the article. Glad the redirect takes care of it. If you have any other concerns or think of anything at Tech that needs an article, let me know. →Wordbuilder (talk) 14:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for Guns Up

Do we really need a citation for elbows being bent or straight? If its is absolutely necessary we could add more pictures of the hand gestures. There are countless examples of people doing the guns up both ways.

Also, the section removed about "The idea is that the Red Raiders will figuratively shoot down their opponents." with a citation - this idea or concept is not found in the linked citation.
