So apparently there is a long standing tradition,

It's time for you to change that

A tradition from decades past?? Fight you Cougars!!

Funny - I was in the band in the 80s, and we played it.

Ahhhh snap!!!!!! Band Fight!

I don't doubt it. We didn't play it in 2008, so they must have brought it back.

It's embarrassing. The opposing fans probably think we all just don't know our fight song

You're hired... to whatever position is in charge of killing that song.

I was in the band from 2003-2006 and we never played it

Littlerich

9/20/19 9:08am

We did in 2006. It was just really sped up and nobody was expected to sing along

That's the only year I was in the band.

That is the college song, not the Fight you cougars

Littlerich

9/20/19 11:14am

Gotcha. I guess I don't know which song we're talking about ha.'

rggee

9/20/19 11:52am

You're thinking of The College Song. Poster is referring to Fight You Cougars

it had to predate 1977, my only year in the Incomparable Cougar Marching Band.

At the Utah game? That’s their fight song...no one knows the words to it.

The old Alma Mater? What do they play?

Blue Ghost

Fight you cougars, or what ever it is.

Littlerich

Oh maybe that's what I'm thinking of.

I love "Fight You Cougars" - KSL radio used it as the song for BYU broadcasts

Nothing worse than an intense/important part of the game when fans need to get

stev

9/20/19 9:36am

Huh??? They only play popcorn popping near the end of a blow out win. Do you

BYUtka

9/20/19 9:39am

Just an example. Sentiment still holds.

stev

9/20/19 9:40am

No. Your assertion was completely false and misleading. It doesn't hold at all.

BYUtka

9/20/19 9:42am

Okay. Good to know.

stev

9/20/19 10:35am

Sounds like it’s been a while since you’ve been to a game or you would know

Flyski

9/20/19 9:44am

Popcorn popping is becoming more of a legend. I haven't heard it in many years

mcnasty

9/20/19 11:07am

The people next to me and I were laughing at the announcer saying "we can't hear

It’s about time someone posted about this made up tradition. I have asked 80 yr

And I have found the memories of 80 year olds to be quite reliable...

I'm not a fan of the band at Basketball games and I tolerate them at football

The_Minister

9/20/19 10:39am

Exactly. Thank you! Band is rough when we need to get energy up.

stev

9/20/19 11:06am

Just what exactly did you think the band was for? Decoration?

BleedCougarBlue2

9/20/19 12:32pm

You tell me. It's a tradition, and they've stuck around.... that's about all

stev

9/20/19 2:30pm

You "tolerate" the band at a football game? SMH....

BleedCougarBlue2

9/20/19 12:32pm

That's correct BUT there is a major flaw in me being flippant about the band

Yes. Yes.

Eventually it will catch on. Establishing a new tradition.

Not with that tune. Its a dirge.

BostonCougar

9/20/19 10:59am

That's much faster than a dirge.

It's called "The Star Spangled Banner" and it's our national anthem!

It’s the alma mater. Big colleges do it. It was resurrected about 10 years ago

No, not the college song. He's talking about Fight You Cougars.

"tOSU"?

BleedCougarBlue2

9/20/19 2:25pm

They play it 3 times before kickoff. Once would be much better

Cosmo4life

The song is called "Fight You Cougars"

Traditional Songs only work when there is tradition associated with them.
