A.S.U. Eeks Out

I know the score doesn't indicate "eeking," but A.S.U.'s 41-20 win over N.A.U. was actually an eek. In the 3rd quarter the score was 27-20... with all due respect to my sister's Alma Mater, A.S.U. should beat N.A.U. Otherwise, their athletic program is spending a lot of money on not a lot. Come on A.S.U. ... step it up!

Michigan also won today; so, it was a good football day for us. And, to celebrate, here are our fight songs and Alma Mater songs.

A.S.U.--

ASU Alma Mater
Where the brave saguaros
Raise Their Arms On High
Praying Strength For Brave Tomorrows
From The Western Sky
Where Eternal Mountains
Kneel At Sunset's Gate
Here We Hail Thee, Alma Mater
Arizona State

ASU Fight Song
Fight, Devils Down The Field
Fight With Your Might and Don't Ever Yield
Long May Our Colors Outshine All Others
Echo From The Buttes, Give 'Em Hell Devils!
Cheer, Cheer For A-S-U
Fight For The Old Maroon
For it's Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here
And It's Onward to Victory!

And Michigan-- (whose fight song is so long, they apparently don't use their alma mater--can't find the words for it at any rate)

University of Michigan
"The Victors"
Now for a cheer they are here, triumphant!
Here they come with banners flying,
In stalwart step they're nighing,
>With shouts of vict'ry crying,
We hurrah, hurrah, we greet you now, Hail!

Far we their praises sing
For the glory and fame they've brought us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Far we their praises tell
For the glory and fame they've brought us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Here they come, Hurrah!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
The leaders and best!
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
>Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
The champions of the West!
We cheer them again
We cheer and cheer again
For Michigan, we cheer for Michigan
We cheer with might and main
We cheer, cheer, cheer
With might and main we cheer!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,The champions of the West!

(No one told them they're not the west anymore!!)

And, in case you needed these songs on video...

Here's Michigan's for good measure...





I love A.S.U.'s Alma Mater song, but it's not very good for those of us (not this person obviously) who aren't very talented singers ;)

Around all these Ivy-Leaguers I'm making sure to show off my State pride!
