Discuss.....

Boomer Sooner!!

(oh wait you knew that right?)

Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, O K U

Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, O K U

I'm a Sooner born
and a Sooner bred
and when I die
I'll be Sooner dead!

Rah, Oklahoma!
Rah, Oklahoma!
Rah, Oklahoma! O-K-U!

Hail to the Victors is it.

I'm a Purdue student, yet I still love my Meechigan Wolverines. Living 8 years in Ann Arbor will do that to a person.

Hail to the victors valiant
HAIL! to the conquering heroes
HAIL! HAIL!
to Michigan the leaders and best!

Hail to the victors valiant
HAIL! to the conquering heroes
HAIL! HAIL!
to Michigan the champions of the west!

That's the way it is.

All the Military Academies fight songs but the Air Force one tops them all:

Fly you falcons down the field.
Carry the enemy your thunder
Bare your talons make them eww, give them all your thunder
Spread your strong wings flying high
Fight for victory
Never say die, keep flying high
For the Air Force, Academy.

For me, hands down it is the 'Noles' War chant (http://community-2.webtv.net/The-Johnz/THEHISTORYOFTHEWAR/)

Eagles and falcons may fly high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Now that is true but it is my favorite fight song none-the-less.

On the banks of the Red Cedar,
There's a school that's known to all;
Its specialty is winning,
And those Spartans play good ball;
Spartan teams are never beaten,
All through the game they'll fight;
Fight for the only colors:
Green and White.

Go right through for MSU,
Watch the points keep growing,
Spartan teams are bound to win,
They're fighting with a vim.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
See their team is weakening,
We're going to win this game,
Fight! Fight! Rah! Team, Fight!
Victory for MSU!


I must say, I prefer the old lyrics better.

I still love the Team America song, even though it's not an official fight song.

I just looked up my university's fight song, and it's really crap. We actually have two of them and they're both crap. CMU in these means Central Michigan University.

The Fighting Chippewa (Primary Fight Song)

Fight, Central, down the field,
Fight for victory!
Fight, fellows, never yield,
We're with you, oh varsity!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Onward with banners bold, to our colors we'll be true
Fight for maroon and gold!
Down the field for CMU!

Varsity!
Rah! Rah!
Victory!
Rah! Rah!
Chippewa, we're proud of that nickname!
Hear our song!
Loud and strong!
Central is going to win this game!

Come on and...
(Repeat first stanza)

Hail To The Chippewa (Secondary Fight Song)

Hail to the Chippewa
All hail to the Chippewa!
The valiant men who wear maroon and gold
Will fight, fight, fight, our honor to uphold!
Hail to the Chippewa
All hail to the Chippewa!
We salute you warriors brave and true,
Win or lose, we're proud of you!

And before anyone bitches we do have permission from the local Chippewa tribe to use the name "Chippewa".

God, that does suck terribly.

AMERICA F@#K YEAH!

Comin' again to save the motherf@#king day, yeah.
America, f@#k yeah!

Freedom is the only way, yeah.

Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed
But join with me, each jovial blade
Come, drink and sing and lend your aid
To help me with the chorus:

cho: Instead of spa, we'll drink brown ale
And pay the reckoning on the nail;
No man for debt shall go to jail
From Garryowen in glory.

We'll beat the bailiffs out of fun,
We'll make the mayor and sheriffs run
We are the boys no man dares dun
If he regards a whole skin.

Our hearts so stout have got no fame
For soon 'tis known from whence we came
Where'er we go they fear the name
Of Garryowen in glory.
