Possible new fight song "Hail and Unite."

Submitted by uofmdds96 on

"Central Student Government has been presented a resolution to develop an additional thematic fight song to be played at University athletic events."

"This project is meant to be, number one, extremely unique."

They are going to reach out to get Eminem involved.

I, for one, cannot wait to see what the lyrics to this will include.  I don't see Eminem being much of a uniter.

EDIT: I am in NO WAY in favor of this.

He probably ended his pitch at CSG with the same "...what could go wrong?" that Bill uttered when he was sneaking Monica into the oval office or the passengers were saying as they boarded the Hindenberg. While we are at destroying the most iconic things in college football let's build a SMALLER stadium and get some helmets without those damn wings. Heck, I think its time our CSG had a national impact. Lets get Kid Rock to rewrite our National Anthem and let's resculpt the Statue of Liberty, but with Madonna holding a microphone not a torch.

I think people are misunderstanding. They aren't proposing to scrap "The Victors" and replace it with something new. They are just suggesting adding a new fight song. We already have a second fight song called "Varsity". This would just be a third one in addition to the other two.

I guess that's not nearly as egregious to me as it is to others. It'll probably sound terrible though.

No, I think people understand that, but I don't think see the point in having a third fight song when we don't even play the second one much, and the thought of having a "modernistic" one involving pop stars sounds positively cringe-worthy.

The only way I see this working out is... if it doesn't work out. How about they just create a song for the band to play, like Let's Go Blue, and not call it a fight song? Maybe in time, it'll become tradition if it's good.

This just needs to go away. Another "all in for Michigan" marketing gimmick except this time with M&M or Milky Way or whatever the hell his name is. All this would do is give another reason to play blaring, ghetto, hip hop music between each play. I don't think this idiot who named himself after a candy is going to write something resembling a Sousa March. Who dreams this shit up????

The people behind this want to spend thousands of dollars to write a song that will "unite" the students. What could possibly be more uniting than the greatest fight song ever written? I say, if this farce gets approved, we just spam the committee with every single rendition of The Victors we can find.

Remember when Minnesota and Nebraska suddenly came up with the $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy?

That was a much better idea than this.  This is the equivalent of the Freedom Trophy.
