High School: The Big Bowl

Student Teaching: Notre Dame Victory March
1st Teaching Job: Our Director

Nope, and I haven't lost any sleep over it either

Not on the spirit squad: jrjo, Cappy, and rob.
How can you not know your school's song?
(I don't know the words...but I knew what the song was)

All I remember were some of the cheers we came up with. Like this one, when the refs made a bad call:
Leader: "Give me a Q!"
Crowd: "Q!"
Leader: "Give me a Q!"
Crowd: "Q!"

Crowd: "Four Q!"

That's almost as lame as Bear Down, Chicago Bears*. Pretty sad when your college's a.m. has U-rah-rah in it. 8O

Don't forget this one:
Oh, school of Eau Claire,
Our voices we raise
Except, thou, this anthem
Of undying praise.
We pledge to be faithful,
Stout-hearted and strong
And cherish thy memory as our lives are long.
Give honor to thee
And sing out thy name
Oh college of ours
We dearly acclaim
Instill within us
A feeling of pride
We pray Alma Mater
Forever abide!
(we prefaced the fight song with that one)

(we prefaced the fight song with that one)Since you were in the SS at Eau Claire - didn't one of those songs have a reference to 'along the banks of the Chippewa'? That's the only thing I recall....
