Can we get a new mantra, please? "We're _________!"

PrintI can’t freakin’ stand “We’re Texas.” It sounds so f’ing pompous. I cringed the first time I heard Walter Cronkite speak those words. We are not inherently better than other schools, and clearly our coaching staff is not inherently better than other coaching staffs. Stupid pr moves. Whoever came up with that catchphrase suffers from the same mentality that has infected Belmont: “Just being Texas is good enough. Just being Texas will solve all problems. Just being Texas means we’ll beat UCLA, Iowa State, Kansas St., Baylor, and A&M. Just being Texas means we can hire or recruit anybody we want. Just being Texas means we are entitled. Just being Texas means we can hang onto Muschamp with Mack Brown as HC.” I have wanted to say this for a long time, but didn’t want to upset the many who are on the kool-aid IV. And now, posters are clinging to the mantra like Dorothy saying, “There’s no place like home.” It’s not who you are, but what you do that matters. And what we’ve done lately is nothin’ to write home about.

couldn't agree more
Hubris. That’s what I think of when I hear it. Wasn’t it just a tag-line for commercials that UT paid GSD&M something like one million dollars for in the early 2000’s? Or does it actually have a foundation in History beyond that?
The first time I heard it was about 10 years ago
and I’ve been a Horns fan since I was in school there 72-80.

Me too, pretty sure it was just some paid for branding
one of the reasons I always thought it was funny to hear people chirp it all over the place. Like running around and saying ’Just do it" or “Enjoy Coke!”
I guess that makes it a good pr campaign.
I still cringe, though, every time I hear it. “What’s starts here changes the world” also bothers me. That could be said of anything. It’s just a matter of degree. What starts in prison changes the world. What starts in Tehran or Tel Aviv also changes the world, a whole lot more than what happens on the 40 acres does. Don’t get me wrong, I love Austin, but “We’re Texas” really fits the Austin mentality, to the extent any generalization is valid. There is a sense that Austin is extra special, which is true, but it runs deeper: if you’re not in Austin, you are somehow a lesser being. And I must admit that when I lived there, I felt the same way.

PH, you and I both know advertising is targeted to stupid people who don't think for themselves.
When you get right down to it, what is advertising and marketing other than a form of brainwashing? People who’s brains are independent, analytical, and unimpressionable just laugh at it. Marketing people are smart. They want to straddle that peak on the IQ frequency distribution curve. That’s where the most people are.
I don't want NO PART of yo' tired ass country club, YA FREAK BITCH!
Haha
This is a funny point of view. People in the advertising industry love this kind of thinking that certain individuals feel incapable of being influenced by advertising. Be careful is all I can say ;)
Take anything I say in an impassioned pontification with a grain of salt.
I’ve chosen many products over a competing product just because I thought the commercial for that one was funnier.
But seriously, isn’t there at least a modicum of truth to what I said when applied to at least SOME advertising.
How about Glenn Beck? What demographic is he targeted to? Don’t say conservatives. I’d it’s more dogmatic thinking conservatives. I’m a conservative and I hate Glenn Beck.

I'm guessing that's based on my feelings toward Mr. Beck.
It applies to Fox news, as well. I wish there was a news channel with a libertarian slant or at least one that is conservative that doesn’t suck at what it does.

Not just football
I’d argue the slogan goes beyond football or athletics. It is used to market the whole university. And the university is in fact inherently better than a lot of schools based on the way state funding is set, the programs UT has, the alumni UT has, and the location of the university.
Now, whether “we’re texas” is good marketing or not, I do not know. I will leave that up to the mega marketing firms used to portray UT.
I honestly kind of like the "were texas slogan"
I agree that it gets misused alot. But this just seems like one of those times we need some swag.
And quite frankly texas does have quite a few inherent advantages. Best high school football around.
Biggest public university in the best football state.
Yeah we are better. Even if we are not that good for the next few years I would still like to keep my swagger you know?
The whole tirade against we’re texas reminds me of the older people at football games who ask you to sit down and not scream so loudly because they are just there to enjoy a football game with their family.
Sometimes you need to pump your chest a little.
I hear what you're saying
but sometimes the line between ‘swagger’ and ‘pompous or “entitled” can be blurry when you’re 18. Or even when you’re an adult, for that matter. Like the old paradox that if you think you’re “cool”, you’re probably not, and usually the coolest people don’t really think about it too much.
But mainly, for me it has to do with how it’s used. It can be used in such a way that I don’t really notice it at all. Or it can be used in a way that just like PF said, makes me cringe.
good points

I think the slogan has a different meaning that the one you're giving it.
I don’t think it’s meant to be “We’re Texas – so we’re inherently awesome.”
I always thought of it as a statement that we represent this state. We are the state. Texas A&M is not Texas. Texas Tech is not Texas. Rice is not Texas. We’re Texas. While that’s still a little pompous, I like it.
I never thought of it that way.
Interesting interpretaion, but it would ironic. The University of Texas, while very much like Austin, is not by any stretch of the imagination by and large representative of the State of Texas.

But those who have strayed from the party line on this website have frequently been branded inferior thinkers by those who toe it. As a law student, I know you understand the value of being able to look at every argument from two sides. That’s usually how we learn some of our most profound lessons. When we think we know it all and have no tolerance for those with whom we disagree, we are headed for the proverbial fall.

I view the "party line" differently, Hopkins.
To me the party line was supporting the status quo of the program. By that definition, a GD defender was very much down with the party line. I can understand how you see it differently, though. I won’t call you a moron or an idiot or a “crybaby” because we have a difference of opinion.

You did imply that he couldn't think independently
just because you two had a difference of opinion. I guess name calling is technically worse though.
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!
I admit that I am guilty.
Maybe “independent” was not the best choice of words. Maybe I should have written “relevant and mature” instead. Nobody suggested that we should adopt his quoted statement as a mantra:
I didn’t think Cronkite would have sounded good saying "we’re a bunch of crybabies ashamed of our school because it lost a few football games."
Nobody said anything about being ashamed of the school, as has been aptly and ably demonstrated below by others. That part of the comment was irrelevant. Calling people crybabies is immature. He implied that I was a “crybaby.” I guess I overreacted by saying he wasn’t capable of indepenedent thought. I am very, very sorry.

I'm proud of our Alma Mater, as well.
To those who say it with the meaning you attribute to it, it is great, but “We’re Texas” has become bastardized by those who repeat it as if they’ve been indoctrinated to chant it but have no meaninful concept of what it represents. That’s the issue here. Some people go through life expecting good things to happen to them because somehow the universe will know they deserve it, rather than making good things happen by a concentrated effort of their will. With the way things have gone recently, it just makes it almost seem as if that is what has happened. It’s almost as if the mantra has engendered a belief that because we have a good name, good things will happen for us. Above all, while things seem to be falling apart whether they are or are not, it can be therapeutic to laugh at the irony of it or to be critical of it. That’s all that’s going on here. It’s coping mechanisms.

That’s who I was talking about in my comment. That was the whole point. I wasn’t criticizing the great University of Texas (no sarcasm). I was criticizing those who mindlessly chant “We’re Texas” and expecting that to be a solution unto itself, rather than saying “We’re Texas” and “we’re better than this so let’s talk solutions to what’s going on.” As for us real fans, this is a stressful and disillusioning time for us and I’ve noticed a lot of, who formerly got along famously, are fighting over minor differences in interpretation and opinion when we should be sticking together through thick and thin. I never said I was jumping ship. I’m here through 13-0 and 0-13, but when we hit 0-13 you bet I’m going to be asking questions and trying to diagnose what is going on.

And I don’t like it now. Am I a fair weather fan? Why do you think the crap that’s happening right now bothers me so much? Because I want the very best for the alma mater that I love so much. Right now many fans are using the phrase like it’s a Louise Hay reaffirmation that somehow everything is going to get better real fast, just because we’re Texas. I fail to see how just being Texas means that all the best things are going to magically happen. Mack doesn’t always do the right things. Most recent examples, IMO: he waited a little too long for certain coaching changes and he didn’t respect Major’s opinion on various RB choices, to name a couple. Maybe he’ll get it right now, maybe he won’t, but if he does, it won’’t be because “we’re Texas.”

we're Texas
it means we’re proud of who we are, as dime said. It doesn’t mean we can magically solve our problems. It does mean that we have a fabulous brand, lots of cash, great facilities, wonderful tradition, passionate fans, excellent location, and an upcoming network of our very own. Those are big advantages. We’re Texas, and we have all these things in our favor. It’s not a whiny “but how can anything go wrong, we’re Texas!” but an affirmation of the positive things about the program that make people want to come here.
If that is a veiled criticism about me, I won't hear it and I won't respond to it.
Em, I don't know you if you have seen them.
But during a discussion of who would be good for us, what our problems are, what type of offense would be good for us, which coaches philosophies fits our personnel, I have seen interjections from people who offer no more insight than “We’re Texas.” I like it how you and dime use it, but when people are trying to talk strategy and analysis and someone chimes in with nothing other than that, it’s a tiny bit annoying.

Sometimes I don’t think you read what I say, becuase I know you wouldn’t distort what I said. I just don’t like the slogan. I would gladly accept another slogan, a positive slogan, but something better. This one doesn’t resonate with me. In fact, it grates on my nerves.

Thanks for the vote of confidence HT.
I don’t know if Ten Cent’s comment was intended for me or not, but I felt compelled to break down my post to see if it would meet her criteria: was the post thoughtful and did it lay out an argument? “Thoughtful” has a number of definitions. Does she mean considerate of other’s feelings or characterized by or manifesting careful thought? Probably the latter. Much of what is written on BON is inconsiderate of the feelings of others, right down to the grammar and spelling corrections. Moreover, I did not call anyone out personally. Did I put thought into the post? I had seen a number of instances where posters clung to “We’re Texas” as the answer to all of our current problems. To me, that seemed indicative of the overall disease that even Mack recognized this year: some sense of entitlement that somehow, just because “we are Texas,” that’s good enough. Well it’s not good enough. We can’t just show up and expect to prevail because were Texas. Maybe some posters misunderstand the “true” intent behind the slogan, but that should be attributed not just to the thinker but to the slogan itself. It would not likely be widely misused if it were not inherently susceptible to misuse IMO. I hope I have been sufficiently thoughtful.

Here's the sequence of events:
5-7 season > fan unrest > intelligent and knowledgeable fans discussing key problems and solutions > less intelligent fans (not referring to you) firing off “We’re Texas” in the midst of these times as if that’s an analysis and solution in itself > Muschamp jumping ship > even more disillusionment in the fanbase > lots of fans talking about which coaches would suit Texas > more bizarre interjections of nothing more thoughtful than reciting “We’re Texas”
__________________________________________________________
Hopkins, I know someone as intelligent and thoughtful as I know you are would not proclaim that merely reciting “We’re Texas” is a thoughtful analysis of what’s going on. That’s like a group of economics students discussing market forces and strategies, when suddenly an interloper jumps in and proclaims “God Bless America!”
Let me be clear, I for one, don’t have any problem with the slogan. I actually like it when the meaning isn’t beaten out of it by abusing it. I appreciate what it means. I just get annoyed by some who abuse it to the point that it loses it’s meaning. Again, I’m not referring to you or anyone contributing to this thread when I say any of this.

But of course I feel differently when we say “We’re Texas”
I'm not sure we really needed a slogan to begin with.
I’ve always been kinda partial to “The University of Texas at Austin.” That pisses off the Aggies so bad that they can’t even admit that the U comes before the T. But if you like saying, “We’re Texas,” keep saying it. To me, though it’s right up there with, now hold your nose when you say it, “Where’s George?”

We are Texas
Excellent “ponderable” you’ve posted here. I am one of the guilty ones. I frequently use the words “We are Texas”. With this post, you have made me stop and consider what exactly it is I"m trying to convey with those words. For me they are not just about the football team or even The University. “We are Texas” carries with it more responsibility than entitlement. I’m old school. Texas, to me, symbolizes every thing that is good and right and noble. Sure, we have our flaws and weird little quirks. We also have a magnificent history of overcoming obstacles, standing up for what we believe and striving for excellence. That’s what makes Texas the greatest state in this country and The University of Texas at Austin the finest institute of higher education. When I say those three little words I am accepting responsibility for upholding the honor of my state, my school and the generations of my family that came before me.
The entitlement you speak of was evident to me at our first game this year. I don’t know if pride, honor and responsibility are “coachable” but we damn sure need to offer a crash course to players, coaches and fans. Being “Texas” isn’t a freebie. It’s an honor.
Excellent post. Thanks for making me think.

I also thought this gave us something different to talk about.
We needed a distraction from discussions of whether and how bad Will’s exit will hurt, whether Major will leave, who Mack will hire, and how all of this affects recruiting. Whenever I consider a fanpost topic now, the first question I ask myself is, “Is this already covered by other posts or threads?”

Bad branding
Somebody got paid a pile of cash to think of “We’re Texas.” This is a slogan that does not say anything about the school, leaves no positive impression, and casts the speaker in a bad light (arrogant, self-centered). As an assertion of tribal identity it only prompts negative reactions from outsiders. Might as well go with “Don’t Mess with Texas”.

Just being Texas means we can hire or recruit anybody we want. Just being Texas means we are entitled. Just being Texas means we can hang onto Muschamp with Mack Brown as HC." I have wanted to say this for a long time, but didn’t want to upset the many who are on the kool-aid IV. And now, posters are clinging to the mantra like Dorothy saying, "There’s no place like home." It’s not who you are, but what you do that matters. And what we’ve done lately is nothin’ to write home about.

Where do you think all our financial resources come from.
It’s certainly not from a state income tax. We don’t have one. Collectively, UT fans spend a ridiculous amount of money on game tickets and paraphernalia. Assuming you work, you probably spend January through May woring just to pay your income taxes, don’t you expect a lot from the government since they take a lot of your money? That’s how we are, except it’s not compulsory for us to spend our money on tickets and T-shirts. We do it because we love our team, but we also expect that money to be put to good use.

Take what exactly?
This thread has been populated exclusively, until now, by people who understand that we are just having fun by joking around to distract ourselves from the uncertainty of the UT football program. No one demanded you join in or argue any points. I wasn’t making any attempt to argue religion. In fact, the argument I was joking about would lead into an inevitable infinite regress. I wasn’t refuting anything you believe in, nor did I come to a thread you were participating in to refute you or any of your beliefs. Therefore, I see no reason for you to feel threatened. If, somehow, my nonsensical, abstract joking on a website offended you in some way, I do apologize and am sorry for you.

I don't want NO PART of yo' tired ass country club, YA FREAK BITCH!
I did.
It just didn’t go anywhere. But now that you bring it up, you could argue it either way. If God created man/woman in his/her own image, then God must have a belly button, because we do. But then again, we only have a belly button because of the manner in which we come into being. God didn’t come into being like we did. He/she has always been and always will be. He/she wasn’t born, so there would have been no umbilical cord and therefore probably no belly button.

Personal opinion
I cannot see how men put up with women in general. Horrid creatures for the most part. Men are simple. If you feed them, sleep with them, let them hold the remote,,and provide beer,,they are happy. Women? Don’t like the food or won’t eat it because they are dieting, hide the remote, spit out the beer because it isn’t wine and stomp off. A generalization and there are exceptions ,,but they are few and well hidden.

In the FWIW column
this thread-and the new mascot idea- kept my brain from thinking about coaches and lack thereof for the better part of the morning. Thank you all for the distraction. If, in the process of running my mouth via the keyboard I came off as disrectful or out of line,, I do apologize. The people that know me are used to it. I’ll do my best to tone it down here ,,but no promises. For future reference if we’re talking actual football you can pretty much bet I’m dead serious. If it’s NOT actual football there is a better than excellent chance I’m playing or trying hard to contain it.

I agree with you, HH,
that we need to take into account the sensibilities of others, but I would add, as an aside, “only to the extent they are within reasonable expectation.” The aside is not relevant to this particular discussion; I’m just trying to be as correct as possible. I don’t think anybody’s sensibilities were offended here. VYTID was just trying to head off a potential problem, although it came off to HT (and me) as a possible overreaction to the subject and could be interpreted as crossing the disrespect line. I’m good with VYTID. VYTID’s good with me. HT and VYTID are good with each other. Nobody wrote anything here that any reasonable mind should interpret as offensive, but I don’t want to detract from your point. None of us should post anything that addresses one of the taboo topics in a way likely to cause a negative distraction or post anything that is rude or hurtful to others, again, within reason. But I think there is a line to be drawn between challenging conventional thinking on a non-taboo topic, and challenging someone personally. There is a difference between challenging a concept in which others may believe strongly and insulting, criticizing or attacking either the challenger or the belief holder. The first is okay, the second is not. Am I right? And FWIW, I think you have a sense of humor.

Give it a chance. The path to Arrested Development addiction starts like this:
Based on someone’s recommendation you reluctantly pop in the 1st DVD of Season 1 and you think, “This is weird.” But with patience and an open mind, you power through the first couple of episodes and by the third you are an Arrested Development addict for life and your eyes are misty and your abs hurt from laughing so much.

I actually like the Cooper for my wife.
I just think I’d look a bit foppish in one. Plus, I need more power. I require at least a powerful V6. I learned how to drive in Houston, thus I’m a bit of an aggressive driver.

When my wife follows me somewhere, I’ll be going 5 mph under the limit and I’ll look in the rearview to find her a mile behind me or completely out ov view.

It took YEARS to get that sucker off my insurance.
YEARS. The judge laughed at me, all of the lawyers in the courtroom laughed. The policeman that wrote the ticket didn’t laugh. I paid a 45.00 court fine and walked out laughing but my insurance company wasn’t amused. I no longer drive 70mph over the speed limit. Most of the time.

If you keep talking cars with such excitement, I might develop a bit of a crush.

I've always loved things that go FAST.
I still do but I don’t participate in the going so very fast too very often. Still have a soft spot for scoots/motorcycles. Just love the sun on my face wind in my hair at 90mph on those back Hill Country roads-Devils Backbone. The first car I bought my older daughter was a candy apple red 66 Mustang. White rag top. Red and white leather interior. Gorgeous little car.
The Porsche belonged to the boss. He just let me drive it on occasion. Amazingly enough he still let me drive it after the ticket.

I heard a rumor last night
that there may or may not be one or more or less coaching decisions made today. I for one am glad that Mack is taking his time. Let the dust settle, so that when we make an offer, we know the candidate is someone that absolutely nobody else wants.
See ya later, alligator.
Now you're talking,,,
thinking just like Mack. Wait til March and get us a bargain coach. Save the department some dinero. I mean how good does our coach really need to be? We were 5-7. Not really deserving of a primo high dollar coach. Just in case anyone else is reading this THAT WAS SARCASM.
