"Can we forge against this enemy, OU, a grand and Texas alliance, North Texas and South, East Texas and the High Plains, that can assure a more fruitful life for all Longhorns? Will you join in that historic sledding effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom four seasons into its maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility--I sled it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other team or any other sport. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this sled will light our University and all who serve it--and the glow from that Tower can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Texans: ask not what your sled can do for you--ask what you can do for your sled.
My fellow citizens of the Big XII: ask not what UT will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom from OU.
Finally, whether you are Longhorns or fans of the Big XII, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our sled, let us go forth to push the sled we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here in God's blessing, sledding must truly be our own."
