Come early, be loud, stay late, wear orange

[Drew80 15]

I just noticed that the Dallas Stars have a similar slogan this year - "Be Loud, wear green". Anyone know where our slogan started? Was it Mack?

[Whatever 700]

Yes it was Mack. 

[Sejjr 3249]

In case you didn't know, prior to 1998, it was pretty much guaranteed that the student section would not fill up until the 2nd quarter, and nobody ever fucking wore orange.

Get RD on this!

Mack did a lot of great things here......and this was one of them.

He may not have gotten the come early or be loud part but he did get the wearing orange part.

[Zavala 1384]

God himself. 

But seriously, at the end of the Mack era and the CS era it was kind of a joke, because students literally came late, left early, weren't loud, and wore whatever...

Mack was like “hey how about you guys show up on time and maybe throw on some school colors?”.
“That man is a fucking genius.”

Logically, it should be "Wear orange, come early, be loud, and stay late."

Two things got the fanbase really fuckin jacked up:

When Mack told people to wear orange, come early, be loud, and stay late. And when the jumbotron played George Thorogood's Bad to The Bone during Mack's first Spring Game. People were like, holy shit this stadium is gonna be jacked!!!

It was a different, innocent time.

It started first as come early, be loud, stay late. He tacked on wear orange later.

And Texas become the sales leader nationally. Thanks Mack!

The student section today is way worse than it was in the mid-90s.

Back then, some folks showed up late, but at least they gave a shit about the game once they got there.

How do you expect the kids today to show up when they can't get a signal on their phones inside the stadium?

[ConferenceRoom 6181]

We must protect this DKR house.

Maybe we should say "fuck the SEZ, use the money for Wi-Fi hotspots and usb chargers on every seat"

[Fuck Tim Beck 3855]

Only slightly more popular than Mack's other slogan: Hey bob, can you use lube this year please?
