Oh you know the tune. I had a bottle opener that played it, until I wore it out and the battery died.I'm sure I've heard the song and would recognize it, but off the top of my head, I don't even know what the song sounds like. Feel free to dislike this post to oblivion.

This is the one: if only they made it with the lyrics, I would know them!Oh you know the tune. I had a bottle opener that played it, until I wore it out and the battery died.
Graduated 11 years ago and still know every word. Honestly kind of shocked how many alums in the poll don't know.
To be fair, I think most other major athletic universities do a much better job than UConn of integrating it throughout the college experience.
I just never paid attention to it. All I hear in my head is UUUUUUCooooon Huskies, dooooo do do do... We're not USC where the players stand in front of the band and make a big spectacle of it.Graduated 11 years ago and still know every word.

My point exactly.I just never paid attention to it. All I hear in my head is UUUUUUCooooon Huskies, dooooo do do do... We're not USC where the players stand in front of the band and make a big spectacle of it.
Mine, too. But, know that that battery is replaceable.Oh you know the tune. I had a bottle opener that played it, until I wore it out and the battery died.
I may not know the words, but three years of Latin in high school taught me that “alumni” is plural.
“Alum” now works for either though, and all points in between.Mine, too. But, know that that battery is replaceable.
Also, the singular for alumni is either alumnus (masculine), or alumna (feminine).
For those who might be offended by such a binary choice, those were the only two genders recognized by the Romans.
If you have a beef, it is with them.
I think it is called the declention of a noun (but my recollection of Latin is sketchier than my recollection of the words to the fight song).“Alum” now works for either though, and all points in between.
Yes, declension.I think it is called the declention of a noun (but my recollection of Latin is sketchier than my recollection of the words to the fight song).
-us, -a, -um (I only just now remembered the neuter)are the singular. -i is the plural for all three.
