So, why did the Houston Cougars put up a billboard featuring Case Keenum giving ‘the shocker’ hand gesture anyway?
Well, because it’s not supposed to be “the shocker” as defined by Urban Dictionary. (Warning: link not safe for the faint of heart, parents of any age, or Rick Santorum.)
Here is the picture, and then in true Paul Harvey style…the rest of the story.

Admittedly, when I first saw the billboard I thought it was just...
