frnkdrcmn Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I've spent the last 20 years as an avid Anti-Michigan fan due to my Buckeye football affiliation. The best anti-Wolverine song of all time is "We Don't Give A Damn For The Whole State Of Michigan". If the UM fans and players heard a western version they'd crap themselves. It would be so unexpected they'd drop their jaws. To do it right you'd need the band's cooperation. It's the song the Ohio State Marching Band plays and sings EVERYTIME they enter a stadium, no matter who they are playing, it's hilarious. UM fans hear it all the time (and hate it) but not out west where they think nobody knows it. It would be a great victory song in place "Na na na". Here's a link to the song as played by the OSU band. I'd change the "We're from Ohio" part to "We're the Fighting Sioux!" and on each "O-H!" and "I-O!" yell I'd put in the words "Fighting Sioux!"...an extra syllable but it can be done and sound good. Any band members on this board? http://www.xanga.com/the_wolverine Quote

Siouxdonyms Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 on each "O-H!" and "I-O!" yell I'd put in the words "Fighting Sioux!"... Rather than Fighting Sioux, just replace it with "Go Sioux!" It would be great if this were able to happen. Probably too late in the week to try to organize it, but it would be great! Quote
HockeyMom Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 How's it go, Ima be right behind the Michigan fans.......and a thorn in their side. Quote
frnkdrcmn Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 How's it go, Ima be right behind the Michigan fans.......and a thorn in their side. click the link and turn on the speakers. I do like the "Go Sioux" idea in place of "OH" and "IO" http://www.xanga.com/the_wolverine Quote
frnkdrcmn Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 Rather than Fighting Sioux, just replace it with "Go Sioux!" Yep, well done Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 thanks - I'm forwarding this link to a friend who just about fell over when I sent him some home vid from Columbus of an OSU fan making a sign for the Frozen Four championship game last year that spelled out..."MICHIGAN SUCKS!" - even though it was UND and Denver in the Championship game! Quote
Runninwiththedogs Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I could have loaned you guys some "Muck Fichigan" and "Ann Arbor is a wh*re" shirts from my UIUC days. We were hostile and abusive, too. Quote
WiSioux Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 The band will be at the game, perhaps the Minnesota band as well... not sure on that though Quote
ihatethegophers Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I have a friend in the minnesota band, she said they are going to be there, and they are having a pep rally at 3pm, and a march-around right before the game as well. Quote
Diggler Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I say we go with the alternate lyrics to Hail to the Victors. Though I doubt REA, NCAA and others would look kindly upon that. Quote

Yep, no love there at all, the yellow skunk stripe helmets alone are enough to make you say ughh, there's just something about the logo "UM" that's just plain contentious, regardless of which school uses it. The bottoms of the urinals at Ohio Stadium have UM stickers. Check out the photo attached to my name to see how friends don't let friends support Michigan. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I'm a big fan of Michigan football, frnkdrcmn, and have been to several games at The Big House in Ann Arbor. The OSU/UM rivalry is second to none. I hadn't heard the "We Don't Give a Damn About Michigan" song until last night when I played it. It's like the damn Macarena now in my head. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Just a little trivia about the helmuts. It seems that a coach of years gone by had the stripes painted on the helmuts as a coaching tool. He could tell where the players were looking during plays and could correct errors as needed. The stripes just ended up as part of the uniform. Quote

ATLSiouxPhan Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 That's super......maybe you should head over to the Michigan football forum........ Quote
hockey10 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Not that I am not a fan of the Sioux band but will Michigans be there? I have listened to them in about 4 previous regionals and they are amazing....but hopefully they dont have much to be playing about tonight!! Quote

Coach said so in an interview. Quote

dakotadan Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I stayed at one of the motels in GF last night and it was the same one that Michigan's team is staying at. There was a second bus of michigan students and fans. I assumed it was their band. Quote
frnkdrcmn Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 That picture is hilarious! Where did you get it? The school teacher somewhere in Ohio set him to the side for one pic as a joke and it's become one of the most popular on sports blogs this past year. Mega props to her. Quote
