Cat's out of the bag: I am an actual bald eagle. That is why none of you ever see me at the games.

Yep, that is a "caw" alright. Besides boy, you ain't no chicken hawk.

Recognition and admission are the first steps to recovery.

You don't see Alabama fans make fake elephant noises. UT fans don't moo. UTSA fans don't make whatever the hell sound a road runner makes, of course... that's a flightless cuckoo... not sure anyone actually studies trash birds like that.

ETA: Roadrunners make a clicky clacky sounding coo, like a dove with a voice box problem... what we should be spending energy on is coning UTSA fans into making this sound en masse.

I'd make a list of all the dumb rituals in sports but i don't have a month it would take to compile the complete list. Starting with grown adults wearing cheese on their heads.

It's a billboard with a mildly funny pun on it. I'll take it over some corporate slogan we paid some consultant 25k to come up with.

MeanGreen_MBA · December 15, 2016

I cant see it, what's on the billboard?

Got5onIt · December 15, 2016

I like it. Of course, you guys can find anything to complain about. Worse than my wife, I swear. Jesus H. Christ....

Just because some fans came up with a bad idea doesn't mean we should go along with it. Student section loves to throw MOTHER F***ING into the fight song... should we put a billboard of that up? Maybe change the fight song officially?

I mean, this is a small issue. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. It just makes us look goofy IMHO. Again, you don't see UT make "MOOving on up" billboards. Why? It's goofy and devalues the brand.

I hear Arkansas fans calling pigs. Washington fans barking.

I hear everybody complaining about us having no traditions. But I guess anything new has to be cool and not embarrassing. Meanwhile just about every great tradition is uncool and super embarrassing. So make up y'alls mind.

Devalue the brand? Not sure in the sports world our brand has any value. Like I said, try everything, see what sticks.

MeanGreen_MBA · December 15, 2016

"Hey (insert school name), Hey (insert school name), Hey (insert school name), we just beat the Hell out of you, Rammer-Jammer, Yellow-Hammer, Give 'em Hell Alabama....repeat 3-4 times.

Get 100K people yelling this in unison at the end of a beat down. We need something like this......plus, the 100K inside the stadium to yell it.....in unison

THEN, we will have something.....CAAAAAWS that is what winners do....

We should ABSOLUTELY put "Mother F***ing" on a billboard. We would be all over the news and would be a hit with the Millennials

Could our football brand have less value?

Being goofy hasn't stopped us in the past(or present)

meanrob · December 15, 2016

And UT has a cow with BEVO written on it standing on the sidelines.

Means absolutely nothing but throw a backstory on it and it becomes a source of pride.

I'm just saying whatever works, works. Logical and cool shouldn't be the standard.

UNT Five&Dime · December 15, 2016

At least they didn't make the new Scrappy with the wrong number of talons. Oh, wait. They did.

Just simply quote a retweet and let Dr. Smat know of the mistake. He may not have even thought of it?

"Oops, Crows Caw...not Eagles".

So some of you are pro caw and pro naked Eugene Levy eagle?

Enjoy it.

OK...so the Prez shows he's on board with athletics in a very public manner and he gets hammered for his efforts. I'm sure the legions of advertising art majors on this board could have done better. If you think you can do better, contact the Prez...he's open to ideas.

Do Longhorns Hook' um? Do agricultural experts gig 'um? Do sooners boomer? There is all sorts of dumb sounds in college football. It's more about having them affiliated with your team than their origin. That's my obviously unpopular two sense. I've heard dumber things come out of masses of fans in college football.

So says the guy whose very screen name we are debating here...

Arkansas calls pigs because a razorback is a pig. Washington is the Huskies, a dog...that barks

An Eagle, while it is a bird like a crow, is a DISTINCT and DIFFERENT bird. If being a bird is the only qualifier then I suggest we scream "bawk bawk bawk" like chickens after touchdowns. Or maybe we could just "coo" like doves to be less aggressive. Hell, let's just mimic the announcer every time he speaks like a parrot.

The "caw" BS was the result of silly (probably drunk) students trying to be smart asses. If that's the only prerequisite for NT traditions then I'll bring the white button downs, cowboy hats and bottles of bourbon to the bowl game...we can all do push ups after we score

Eh, ya. Average attendance is higher, no? Logic dictates something significantly smaller takes much less...nevermind.

I hope you caught my sarcasm. We can't really make fun of anyone's attendance.

I'm guessing you've never seen a pissed off bull hook someone with his horns?
