I now have to know if CU’s “The Pride and Tradition of the Colorado Buffaloes will not be entrusted to the timid or the weak” is a CU original or if CU copied Texas??

Mac brought it from Michigan. Anything after that is a copy of one of those

McCartney brought it to Colorado from Michigan were Bo used it.
Speculating here but good chance that it went from Colorado to Texas with Jeff Madden who was McCartney's S&C coach and had a stretch at North Carolina before UT. He was at Texas until at least 2012.
Madden used it prominently in his time at CU and it would make sense that he emphasized it with the Longhorns.
That makes sense. I was wondering about this on Sunday (saw the phrase on Kerry's offer). From 2001 article:

Finkley RT’d this guys reply
If @Bread’s post on his reception on campus by the staff is true, when I first read this post, that is what came to mind. Glad I was wrong!
Yeah, CU fans turning out their love for FInkley is pretty cool to see
Man, hope we win this one. Dude looks like players we used to have.

Feels like it's between CU and Texas with a Texas lean. Hope he surprises decides to be a Buff

This take from what I assume is a UT writer makes it feel like CU isn't seriously being considered (not mentioned at all), but Andy Wang and Chandler Dorrell liked it.

I was talking to my boss who graduated in 79 from Alabama, and is die hard fan. He said the only thing Alabama has that is any good academically is a law school. I replied, you know how loved lawyers are. He laughed.

saw that Texas got a commit yesterday from a 4* DL – hoping that helps us here
that would just help Alabama ..sigh
Gotta tell you with players these days this doesn't even factor in 9 times out of 10. Every one of these dudes thinks "I'm as good or better than that guy. Just need to get on campus and show it."
I think the idea he was getting at was that Texas could be filling up at a position and may have to tell Finkley they have no more room. That would never happen at Colorado, but might at the top recruiting programs. I'm not saying that's the case, just that was likely his point, not that Finkley would be deterred by competition.
That's 4 highly rated DL commits in this class for UT.
I think this is a very good thing for Colorado.

It could also be that UT took the commitment because they have a good idea that Finkley isn't committing to them.
All of this is speculation, which is all we have at this point. I'm still cautiously optimistic.
