My high school fight song used to use the same one as UCLA. USC's fight song sounds a lot more badass.

There are only three acceptable winners- USC, ND, or Michigan. Those are the "classics". The poll should just be between those three, really

U$C's band needs to learn new songs. They play 2 songs through games. At least add some variety.

Ok and seriously, Fight On is not even a fight song. It sounds like something from Cartoon Network.

Interesting how HSes copy colleges... My HS fight song was Notre Dame's. I think ND's is pretty damn good, especially compared to Cal's. I voted Cal only because of school pride, but the fight song is mediocre...

Georgia Tech, clearly:

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an Engineer
A Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva Engineer
Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.
I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an Engineer

Oh, if I had a daughter, sir,
I'd dress her in white and gold,
And put her on the campus
To cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir,
I'll tell you what he'd do--
He'd yell: 'TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!'
Like his daddy used to do.

Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum,
and Sugar three thousand pounds
A college bell to put it in,
And a clapper to stir it round.
I'd drink to all the good fellows,
who come from far and near.
I'm a Ramblin', Gamblin', HELL OF AN ENGINEER!

Fight! Win! Drink! Get Naked!

Forgot that one. I heard the whole thing for the first time during my sister's graduation and thought it was classic.

No offense, but substitute anything with "engineer" and you could sing it to a woman and get laid. Even a janitor. ;)

easily Notre Dame is the best. Then, close by are USC, Texas, and Michigan in no order

Engineer gets you laid. You just have to flash your fat wallet when you sing it.

I'm biased towards K-State. "Wildcat Victory", plus the Wabash Cannonball.

However, IMO, here are the best fight songs:

1. Tennessee "Rocky Top"
2. Michigan "Hail to the Victors"
3. USC
4. Notre Dame
5. Texas
6. Ohio State
7. Marshall
8. Colorado
9. Florida State
10. UCLA

Funny, but an old roommate told me the Georgia Tech song had the same tune as the Notre Dame fight song, but different lyrics...

Cry, cry for old Georgia Tech
They're gonna get it right in the neck.
Send the sound of taps on high
As their whole team lays down to die.

What though the odds be great or be small
Ol' Georgia Tech will fumble the ball.
As her undergrads get sick
And transfer to USC.

I don't know what he had against GT but he loved singing that song.

I voted for Rice just cause we have the lyrics "Stand! Cheer! Drink more beer!" right in our song.

Actually, that's the only part I know.

Kind of OT I know but let me say...

Nothing beats the Georgia Bulldogs... at the Kickoff..

The whole stadium (in athens) yells "GO DOGS- SICK EM- woof woof woof (or whatever)".

Now, obviously I can't speak for every team, but that my friends... is badass.


This post has my official seal of approval.

Football between the hedges is intense. The only other stadium that I've felt that kind of intensity was watching the Volunteers. But UGA gets the nod. SEC football is awesome!

Now, I am a GA Tech fan, but good football is good football and it doesn't get better than here in Georgia! :D
