I assume that they were going for something similar to "Trust the Process," but then realized that being creative is hard.

I believe that 'Paddle the Canoe' is available...

put him in an orange blazer or something.

He already has an orange sport coat. The tailor needs to remove the cowpoke and put on an indian bonnet.

Side note here but anyone else get a laugh at the picture of Underwood and the Illinois AD holding up a piece of paper with the #WeWillWin first of all why not something like a basketball jersey or put him in an orange blazer or something. Secondly that has to be like the lamest hashtag ever. We Will Win its like were really trying here and we will win eventually but give it time.

It's Illinois, they're getting to get lamer than the Cubs #WeAreGood annoyance for the past 2 years. IMO, it didn't work.

You don't think "We Are Good" worked? I mean, they won the World Series....

It came directly from Joe Maddon, not the marketing department. It was a simple way of trying to change the culture of losing. These young guys had finally come up, they had been absolutely terrible for 7 years and generally terrible for a century. Maddon was just trying to get the guys to believe that that was over. Trust me guys, I know what you are cabable of. We are good.

And they were good. They are. They won the World Series. So I'd say it worked.

Better than the "Cardinal Way", which doesn't actually mean anything.

IMO, a blind monkey could have walked into that clubhouse and won a WS. The winning actually started the August before Maddon even got there. That's all I'll say about that. Regardless, there's not much difference between "We Are Good" and "We Will Win". It's just hypocritical to say one is cool and the other is lame. I don't care who used the slogan, show me you can do it rather than talking about it. Maybe that's just me though.
