Minnesota Fight
"Minnesota Fight" is one of several school songs of the University of Minnesota. Responding to a 1925 contest to find an additional fight song for the school, University graduate Truman E. Rickard entered a piece entitled "Minnesota! Let's Go!". Rickard shared the contest's hundred-dollar prize with another entry, Marion Bassett's "Our Minnesota". Rickard's fight song can still be heard at Minnesota Golden Gopher athletic events, but is now known as "Minnesota Fight".
Lyrics
Minnesota! Come on! Let's go!
It's a loyal crowd that's here;
With a Sis-Boom-Bah and a Ski-U-Mah,
For the varsity we cheer!
RAH! RAH!
The old fight gang! On your marks—Slam! Bang!
Hit 'em hard and hit 'em low!
So Fight! Minnesota, Fight
Minnesota! Come on! Let's go!

gollark: I mean "accelerationism" like that political thing where you help the opposing movement because it'll magically destroy itself or something.
gollark: It would no longer be possible for humans to cut many of them down.
gollark: Also deforestation. There are so many upsides.
gollark: Which would also fix flooding.
