I think repute is a real concept though. I also think metrics tell us about achievement and provide means to comparr and contrast comparable qualities or measures. Texas is a very successful state on a lot of measures and I don't think it's an accident and I don't think it is false tribalism. I think tribalism manifested in a stadium during a game is false however, since it is vicariously experiencing something that is not really yours to credit yourself with. But education is an aspect of the society and thus a successful school makes for a successful state and for that we can be proud.
