"Fearless Champions"

[Firebird]

"Fearless Champions Ever Be Stand On The Heights of Victory"

That is how Texas Tech's official Big XII South Champions t-shirt describes their season. I am not making this up, go check out the logo.

and what does "Fearless Champions Ever Be Stand On The Heights of Victory" mean? ever be stand? really? lol

If you knew anything about Texas Tech, you would know those are lyrics from our school song. Fitting, I think.

And if you knew anything about Big 12 south championships, UT, OU, and Tech all get trophies for the Big 12 south.

And yes. I will be getting one :D

[Mhs06]

and don't get me started on "The best season ever" 11 wins! lol

Let's get it started then. Name a better season by Tech. Go. There are 2 I an think of that are comparable. A bowl win will make it the best.

The Matador Song

Fight, Matadors, for Tech!
Songs of love we'll sing to thee,
Bear our banners far and wide.
Ever to be our pride,
Fearless champions ever be.
Stand on heights of victory.
Strive for honor evermore.
Long live the Matadors!

That makes more sense then. And I'm aware it's their best season ever, but shouldn't they strive for more? 11 wins and a 3 way tie for a championship and no BCS bid (most likely) and they proclaim it their best season ever? I understand the B12 championship thing, I understand the words are part of the school song, but still...come on...that's like TGO thumping his chest in the other thread about Boise State beating OU is better than UT beating Idaho...lol

They should have separated the be and stand on the shirts.

A bowl loss would make it the most disappointing. :D

Who says we aren't? This shirt is to celebrate this year. We want more, of course, but it's important for Tech fans to reflect. It's been a great season. The best in a few decades at this point. And as I said, a bowl win would make it the best season ever.

True. I do hope you win though. Baylor almost had ya...:o

I'm well aware of what the line on the shirt comes from. (Hint: The lines have a break in the lyrics for a reason).

"Fearless Champions Ever Be, Stand on Heights of Victory"

"Fearless Champions Ever Be. Stand on Heights of Victory"

A really creative type might even put a little double T between the two. But I'm sure the "All your base are belong to us" effect is what you are going for.

[SLC]

I guess when this is your best ever.. this is what you do.

As JTK so eloquently put it.. Jesus Christ.

[svhorns]

wait what?!?! Tech didn't win the Big XII south... as everyone else already pointed out... Jesus Cristos...

[Slim-Rob]

I just think it's kinda...idk...over the top...

didn't win your conference...(3 way tie for half of conference)
won't play in NC or probably even BCS bowl...
got beat 65-21...

3 teams won the big 12 south. Guess you missed the memo.

Find me a shirt like that that has punctuation around the circle.

lol... your kidding right? Moral Victory noted... whats the deal with these moral victories today... If I understand right if Texas Tech would have won the Big 12 south they would be playing Missouri in the Big 12 CHAMPIONSHIP game... goodluck in Dallas... LOL...

Oh sorry, I was under the impression that a trophy meant you accomplished something. I guess not. :rolleyes:

[Firebird]

I have a trophy that proclaims me the best camper from the Roadrunner Cabin that I got at church camp in 1994. I lovingly polish it every night, then sleep soundly. I tell myself, "they said you'd never amount to anything. Fools."

What it amounts to is that there was a 3-way tie for the big 12 south, and Tech was one of them. What was one of the teams they beat? Why Texas, of course. This shirt, in itself, represents that.

congrats... I guess... but big 12 champions your are not... that goes to mobilehoma...

If it did, then why not have it say, "We freakin beat UT this year and felt good about ourselves for a change?" It says that they're champs...WRONG!!! While I'm at it, I might as well print up a National Championship shirt for UT, even if we aren't playing for it...:rolleyes:

[jtk1519]

Nobody has a problem with Tech celebrating their best season ever. It was a damn good season, but celebrating a division championship that was a three-2ay tie in which you were 3rd in the tie seems pretty stupid. That's worse than A&M and their NIT shirts.

It says big 12 south. :rolleyes:

[Rockets8805]

It doesn't matter if it says Big XII South or Most Bada:Censor: Team In the Land, the fact remains that it isn't true...otherwise, they would be headed to KC, not OU...either way though...it is a nice shirt...and someone walked into my workplace with that "Black Out UT" shirt...that one was nice too

Big 12 says Texas finished 3rd in the tie. The 5th tiebreaker made OU 1st, but Tech beat out Texas for head-to-head according to 2 team tiebreaker rules.
