New tag line....

[RealMeanGreenMatt]

Did anyone else find the new tag line "Let it fly, like an eagle" a little awkward during the game? Maybe it will take some getting used to....

With any luck, they'll drop it and we won't have to get used to it.  I commented on this in my survey response.  The original statement from Littrell was the golf metaphor "We're gonna tee it high and let it fly".  I understand abbreviating it to take out the golf part of the reference, but nobody says "let it fly like an eagle".   I'm not sure Steve Miller even plays golf. 

I don't like it at all and I agree it's very awkward having Tim say tag lines on the PA periodically.  I don't remember him saying things in the past like "Why Not North Texas" and "It's Wide Open".

Yes, this was odd. The slogan is "Let it Fly" plain and simple. Not sure was Tim Crouch was doing, but the "like an Eagle" part needs to be nixed.

[MeanMag]

Agreed 100%. Very strange.

Comes off very poorly. It's like having to explain a joke that nobody got immediately after the punchline.

yes so much this...it was so annoying throughout the game...he said tee it up and let it fly... just use let it fly, and don't announce it through the whole game

The only time I could relent and enjoy that tag line would be the night Don Henley does the halftime show or concert afterwards.

Change it to "Let's kick ass!"

I also mentioned this in the survey.  As a tagline, I think it is fine (combination of SL's Let it Fly with Fly Like an Eagle), but really sounded awkward and forced over the loud speakers, especially being repeated over and over.

Damn, you guys keep reminding me of things I should have mentioned in the survey.

The tagline doesn't need to be toyed with and no one needs to be barking garbage over the PA. It's bush league. Leave it alone.

PA: "Tee it high and let it fly, like an eagle, you know, the bird, the one that's our mascot, Scrappy, that was Eppy before that, but was Scrappy before that, it's technically a bald eagle, but not really bald, just white head feathers, comes from the English 'piebald,' which comes from magpies, which is another bird, which are related to crows, and not eagles."
