NC$$ Regionals_Going to Green Bay v. Michigan

[jkahn]

I checked with the Cornell box office, and the seats they have are in Section 217.  That's the same section as we had in Green Bay in '06.  Since Cornell only has all session ticket packages, I'm going to hedge my bets and either buy online, where one day tickets are available, or just buy when I get to Green Bay.  Right now I'm holding off just because the online seats are coming out in Row D and I'd like to sit higher to get a better perspective on the whole ice.   Unlike '06, when the place was full of Wisconsin fans, I expect buying tickets at the box office Friday shouldn't be an issue.

I know a version of "The Victors" that would get you thrown out of Lynah.  Not sure we want to sing that one tho.

Nonsense.  The alternate lyrics to "The Victors" are an absolute must.  

Besides, you'll be in Big Ten country but somewhere other than Michigan; no usher is going to throw you out for it because EVERYONE is sick and tired of that song.

What are these alternate lyrics? I know the real ones, but I need to see these now that they have been mentioned twice.

Which give me a get segue into the alternate lyrics for Sons of Rensselaer or whatever the RPI fight song is called:

We have the worst fight song
Of all the universities
We have the worst fight song
So no one sings along
We have the worst fight song
There are not any words
We have the worst fight song
It's for the bird.

Red Hawk!

Apologies to Ralph.

Hail to those mother ****ers!
Hail to those big **** suckers!
Hail! Hail! To Michigan

Told you it'd get you tossed from Lynah.

Don't forget the second verse:

"To hell, with those masturbators!
To hell, with those fornicators!
To hell, to hell, with Michigan
The team we love to HATE!"

What Chris said.  I don't see any reason why we should be hailing them.

At the 1997 West Regional in Grand Rapids (2 regionals, 8 teams at each back then), the CU band got together with the Minnesota band after we sent Mazz's Miami home.  Minn was set to play Mich in the QF, and they were impressed when we knew the alternate lyrics.  The only difference was that they ended the first verse with "The Cesspool of the East," which gave me a new perspective.

Michigan folks probably think everyone who sings that version are original just as we think people are when they sing the "...there's an awful smell..." version of our Alma Mater.

Actually, it was 2 regionals, 6 teams each back then.  No. Dakota and Michigan had first round byes, and Minnesota played Michigan after our 2nd round loss to the Sioux, the eventual NCAA Champions.  I remember applauding the Minnesota Pep Band and wishing them luck as they marched in.  Not sure I'd do that today after our '05 Mariucci experience.

*headsmack* ::doh:: Right! Of course there was the bye back then.

Thank you for calling me on that. I was going to be disappointed if someone didn't, but no, I did not know the alternate lyrics.

Not sure I support the use of the alternate lyrics, it would mean that we have sunk to their level. I know many will disagree with me, but that's my opinion on it.
