I disagree with your formulation.
This is no time to be using Greek to express a Texas/Oklahoma sentiment in good old Southwestern English phraseology, namely:
"If you think you got the hosses, bud, come try to take it !!"
Respectfully, I think you forgot the "But you'd best bring a lunch, 'cause it's gonna be an awful long day" part.
Those guys don't want to be between Texas and Oklahoma...
