Thread Name: College Fight Songs
Subject: RE: College Fight Songs
Wilmington College, Quaker college in Ohio had a rather un-Quaker fight song (but it didn't seem to do much good - we went 0-9 and 1-8 my first two years there:

Stand up and cheer boys,
A song for Wilmington;
Soon the foe we're meeting,
True to thee our hearts are beating;
We'll never fear boys,
We're loyal every one;
We'll win the game and laud the name
Of dear old Wilmington.

Better that that was the WVU fight song:

Fight, fight, fight, fight Mountaineers,
We're here to cheer for you,
Take that ball right down the field,
We're putting all our trust in you;
Play that team right off its feet,
We can't be beat, we know;
And when the game is through,
We'll all cheer you,
West Virginia, West Virginai, RAH!!
