Best College Fight Song

I like Georgia's fight song really well. Their alma mater is really cool, too. (Fun fact- the lyrics of UGA's "Alma Mater" fit perfectly into ISU's "Bells of Iowa State". I noticed this when I was in UGA's bookstore this week.)
Seems like a lot of fight songs do this, as well. Iowa's and ISU's lyrics are interchangeable, and I think Minnesota/Wisconsin's fight song lyrics do the same thing.
I really like USCs (Southern Cal, not the 'Cocks)... and perhaps because of sentimental reasons I have to say I like Notre Dame's after hearing their band play it while marching right in front of my father and I before they entered ND stadium... sent chills down my spine (good chills).
I haven't been able to stomach USC's fight song since the Orange Bowl when they slaughtered Iowa. It was played just as much as OU plays theirs.
I love TAMU's "Noble Men of Kyle". Others I like are Nebraska's "Hail Varsity", Michigan's "Hail to the Victors", Navy's "Anchors Aweigh" and the Notre Dame Victory March. Fight songs are one of the things that separate college football from other sports.
Yep, that's it. I always use this when I create my own team in NCAA Football games. I've never really figured out why, it just has that ring to it.
That's the same reason I can't stand USC's band. They play two songs ALL the time, and it's unbelievably annoying. Not to mention their band is pretty much full of a-holes, according to pretty much every band they've visited.
Eh, that's a pretty huge stretch. You can do it if you really try hard, but they don't really lend themselves to other lyric/tune combinations, what with weird word stresses and pauses (or lack thereof).
Yep. Fixed it for you.
Of the rest of the Big 12 I have to say I like K-State's the best. It's got a nice tune and it's not as obnoxious as "Boomer Sooner".
Great Find....
Michigan, USC Trojans, and Notre Dame are my three favorites...
Notre Dame....the "Best"
I guess I don't mind USC's fight song because my high school played their intro as our intro (as is the case with any team named the Trojans, I guess.)... but then they jump right into Houston's fight song.
