Hand Signal
• At game time, Cougar fans show their support by making the "cougar sign," made by folding the ring finger of the right hand toward the palm.
• The tradition dates back to 1953, when Shasta I, the presiding cougar mascot, lost a toe in a cage door on her way to a game. The opposing team, the University of Texas, mocked UH by imitating the cougar's injury. The Cougars soon adopted that gesture as a symbol of pride.
