Nobody in this photo gets the "Hook'em" right.
I was taught in 1961 that if your thumb overlapped the two inner fingers, you were doing it wrong. The thumb and two inner fingers should be pinched together to resemble a steer's head.

So, according to what I was taught, most people get it wrong, but the message is unmistakable. ?

I would imagine by this standard most people get it wrong. In 62 years of life I've never heard this.

I’ve never heard this before!!

 
I'm often surprised how many people that should know better, get it wrong. Even the Minister of Culture is guilty of this.
you are absolutely right, sometimes I think he is trying to flash his hybrid version of Hook em Horns/Hang Loose....and there was one person I saw flash the Hook em with an extended thumb which I think is sign language for I Love You, and I think the hook em with the palm facing toward the person is actually an Italian version of GTFO, or various variations of the gesture

Wow, try to be friendly, make the wrong hand gesture and insult somebody. You get clocked and have no idea what just happened. lol

when I lived in LV I saw all kinds of longhorn logos on cars, and saw a guy at Costco with a burnt orange shirt with a white Longhorn logo so I flashed him my Hook em Horns and said hook em to him, he says " WTH are you talking about" , I told him you shirt its a Texas Longhorn shirt, come to find out one of the new high schools in the area decided to call themselves the Longhorns and use the logo, and here I thought the LV chapter of the Texas Exes was growing rapidly
