Have you ever seen the fleet docked on the shore of Lake Washington outside of Husky Stadium in Seattle? Has to be the most beautiful setting in all of college football.
Dawn Young, baton twirler extraordinare and drum majorette for the Fairmont High School Band 1960 - 62, possessor of a great set of headlights, and later Miss Montgomery County accepted a full ride to be the Golden Girl for the Marching Rebel Band. She was interviewed by the Dayton Daily News after riots broke out following the integration of Ol' Miss, forcing the cancellation of the Homecoming Game of 1963. "The band is just so upset. We were going to be on national TV and now this has to happen." Hard to believe, but Dawn did not win the Nobel Peace Prize for Having Your Priorites Straight that year.
After the game the losing team must stand and sing the winner's alma mater. They do it with sincerity. That has to say more about the quality of the schools and their teams than anything I can think of.
And
What do you expect when a school is too lazy to write their own fight song and so they borrow one from Yale? (Where it made no sense either.)

4. How about the midget with a bad beard who pretends to be "The Fighting Irishman?" Why hasn't someone brought up the PC issues involving Irish temperament and problems with alcohol?
3. How about the nut job who dresses up like a Trojan and rides a horse around the Coliseum... talk about historical inaccuracies and mixed metaphors... ?
2. How about an entire band wearing plastic Roman helmets and pretending to be Trojans? A pack of condoms?
1. But the most annoying thing in the world is the Michigan band playing The Victors... sigh, must at least admit it is a great fight song, if only it weren't theirs.

Maybe they're just really stretching the Troy-Rome connection - with Aeneas sailing to Italy after the Trojan War, and their descendants becoming Romans.
Hey, there aren't a lot of opportunities to reference Virgil on the football board.
And the USC fight song is neck-and-neck with scUM's for most annoying.

ok the irish guy is up there but i am talking about fight songs
2) ever wonder why the Trojans(from the turkish city of troy) play their games in the Coloseum(presumably named after the roman stadium of the same name)?
3) at least "the victors" is a good song, boomer sooner is painfull to the ears

Nooooo way. Fine, you don't like The Victors, no big deal, but we don't play our fight song incessantly like the Trojans do. USC plays that awful thing to celebrate 1 yard runs on first down, or after a sack to congratulate the QB for not fumbling.
The only fight song worse than USC's is MSU's. "Fight, team, fight fight fight."

The Mile makes a good point. Why play the fight song after every single play??
That friggin nittny lion roar drives me nuts, by the way.

my favorite part of the Sooner Schooner tradition is when the Miami Hurricanes mascot Sebastian made up a red wagon up like the schooner. then he set it on fire and dragged it around the endzone... that was all-time classic shit... i wish i could find a pic...
hmm... that made me think... Miami is probably the only school that has a tradition of the mascot getting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties...

The Schooner is a symbol from the "Land Run" of 1889. This is where there was a big starting line and everyone could use their own means to get to a place they wanted land and stake their claim. Most people that had horses, also had schooners to help them and their families travel.
The term Sooner is originated from people who started the night before the Land Run to stake claim to land before everyone else was allowed to start.
There you have the story of the "Sooner Schooner." Let's celebrate cheating honest families out of the best and most fertile farmland.
I was born and raised in Oklahoma City so this is legit. The NCAA needs to ban that name and mascot!
