Sing along

That last comment has a fire in my belly and the only way to fight back is with a good old fashioned sing off. Y'know, like they used to do back in the 40s in those movies that were all musical and stuff. Y'know like that movie "Breakin'"? Classic.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will play the Michigan Wolverines in the Dec. 27th Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, Texas for those that didn't know. It is just the sixth time the two historic teams have met so it's got a nice little storyline to it. And while I've always admitted I like UM's fight song, let's not gloss over the fact that Nebraska has two very good fight songs that we all hope will be locked in your brain by the time Boxing Day is done and the Huskers get set to prove once and for all that red is better than blue.

So without further adieu, I've got Tommy Lee here with me so let's not waste anytime:

Ahem....

Dear Old Nebraska U (mp3)
There is no place like Nebraska
Dear old Nebraska U.
Where the girls are the fairest,
The boys are the squarest,
Of any old school that I knew.

There is no place like Nebraska,
Where they're all true blue.
We'll all stick together,
In all kinds of weather,
For Dear old Nebraska U!

Hail Varsity (mp3)
Hail to the team
The stadium rings as everyone sings,
The Scarlet and Cream.
Cheers for a victory, echo our loyalty;
So, on mighty men,
The eyes of the land, upon every hand,
Are looking at you.
Fight on for victory
Hail to the Men of Nebraska U

As I've always said, two fight songs are much better than one. GO BIG RED
