Well, I’m a Hoosier fan and their song wasn’t on here. Still I got two mixed up and all the others right. Lots of guessing. My husband and I found this actually because we were trying to figure out how many Big Ten songs we knew.

hi C in C: sounds like a browser problem. there should be litle empty boxes next to the photos of the schools’ logos for you to put the matching numbers in.

with regard to the UCLA tune, it’s called The Mighty Bruins. You can check out this Web site for lyrics and a complete tune:

That is not Michigan State’s Fight Song, it’s a version of Eat ‘em Up that the MSU band plays.

The real fight song is called Falcone Fight.

I got 20% correct, however I missed my own school fight song (the only one I thought I had right). Bet my alma mater still cash my check to their foundation.

Uh…forgive me, but which one is UCLA again?

I couldn’t find a way to connect the songs to the logos, so I can’t tell what the answers are, so I’m just going by my ear.

I’ve got a UCLA almuna standing next to me, we’ve just listened to all the songs, and UCLA is NOT among them. What gives?

wow! there’s a lot of fightin’ words here. i’m impressed.

first: to monkeypox and corrine, don’t forget i’m from philly! you think i was going to go for the easy one? that’s the blue band’s “victory song” up there… and i think it’s a much more interesting tune.

now, regarding all the big 10 schools, i did try to spread the love as much as i could, but honestly only wanted to put a nice variety of easy-to-obscure up there.

Its not just you monkeypox…
I went to PSU too, and I still don’t know what that song that is our “fight song” is (is it supposed to be a crappy rendition of “The Nittany Lion”???)…

Any which way its not Fight On State, which I got to hear plenty when I was at the FIU game, so I don’t think anything has changed. :-p

As a UT fan, I would have liked to see their song, but it’s not a challenge if they’re all songs you know.

I got 3 right, but one of those was a guess. Notre Dame and Navy, of course. I would’ve thought I’d recognize Perdue because I had a lot of family go there, but it was not to be…

It was not a boring quiz. Think for just a minute, how rude it is to knock a free service compiled for your enjoyment. If you have criticism, maybe you could make it more constructive.

what the…? if I hadn’t gone to penn state, I wouldn’t have recognized that song. and unless something’s changed in the past few years, the tune considered the fight song has always been “fight on state”.
