Bear Down, Chicago Bears

Make every play clear the way to victory

Bear Down, Chicago Bears

Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.

 

We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation

With your T-formation

 

Bear Down, Chicago Bears

And let 'em know why you're wearing the crown

You're the pride and joy of Illinois

Chicago Bears, Bear Down!(This message has been edited by eagle90)(This message has been edited by eagle90)

(sung to the tune of On, Wisconsin!)

 

Forward, Packers! Forward, Packers!

Plunge right through that line!

Run the ball right through the Giants

A touchdown sure this time. (U rah rah)

Forward, Packers! Forward, Packers!

Fight on for more fame

Fight! Fellows! - fight, fight, fight!

We'll win this game.

 

Foolish Giants, don't they know what happens to those who dare enter the Frozen Tundra?

 

Go Pack, Go!

I had the (then) Los Angeles Rams and have the Kansas City We Hope to Get Back on Track Chiefs. Nothing to see here, folks, move along...

 

So...

 

Dad went to UCLA after he retired from the Army in 1961. I grew up on UCLA football and basketball...

We are Sons of Westwood

And we hail to Blue and Gold

True to thee our hearts will be

Our love will not grow old,

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Bruins roam the hills of Westwood

By the blue Pacific shores

And if we chance to see

A man from USC

Every Bruin starts to roar.

U...C...L...A...

UCLA, fight, fight, fight!

(repeat verse)

 

I made a huge athletic mistake: I went to UC Santa Barbara. WHAT intercollegiate athletic program?

 

Now, my son attends the University of Missouri. He's there at a golden time, both basketball and football look like they have the legs of long term programs:

 

Every true son, so happy hearted,

Skies above us are blue,

There's a spirit so deep within us,

Old Missouri here's to you (rah rah!);

When the band plays the Tiger war song,

And when the fray is through,

We will tramp, tramp, tramp, around the Columns,

With a cheer, for Old Mizzou!

 

HIT IT!

HOORAY, HOORAH! MIZZOU! MIZZOU!

HOORAY, HOORAH! MIZZOU! MIZZOU!

HOORAY, HOORAH! A BULLY FOR OLD MIZZOU!

RAH, RAH, RAH, RAH!

MIZZOU-RAH! MIZZOU-RAH! MIZZOU-RAH!

TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Fight, Tigers, fight for Old Mizzou,

Right behind you, everyone is with you,

Break the line and follow down the field,

And you'll be, on the top, upon the top;

Fight, Tigers, you will always win,

Proudly keep the colors flying skyward,

In the end we'll win the victory,

So Tigers, fight for Old Mizzou!

 

T-I-G-E-R-S! TIGERS GO!

 

Fight, Tigers, fight for Old Mizzou,

Right behind you, everyone is with you,

Break the line and follow down the field,

And you'll be, on the top, upon the top;

Fight, Tigers, you will always win,

Proudly keep the colors flying skyward,

In the end we'll win the victory,

So Tigers, fight for Old Mizzou!
