Poll: Do you know all the words to the UConn fight song?

I was in the marching band at UConn. Freshman year, the song was one of the first things we learned, along with the Alma Mater.

Indoctrination!

I think I had forgotten how terrible this is. Those of us who attended games at the field house couldn't really escape it. Can we replace it perhaps? Perhaps some James Brown? Unofficially I recall we embraced George Clinton.

Thinking about today's opponent, if their song isn't Country Roads, it should be. Everybody already knows it.

Well, John Denver may not have actually known much about the local geography, but I expect that actual people from West Virginia do.

Neither the Blue Ridge Mountains, nor the Shennandoah River are actually in West Virginia.

However, there are likely a number of mountain mommas in the state.

The mountaineers won the Big East Tourney in 2010, and Country Road came blasting out of the Garden sound system. Has to be one of my least favorite BET memories.

I love Toots and the Maytals’ cover, but I guess the Jamaican adaptation wouldn’t work too well for them.

I confess Country Roads went from a song I considered a lame old people song in the 70s, to something I embraced warmly. When dating my wife, I often met her and her Fidelity colleagues at some small Boston financial district bar (Coogans?) where we and the patrons always sang Country Roads at the top of our lungs (after many beers). Any song that encourages people to sing along with it, loudly, in public, is a good song.

I like reggae covers of almost anything. This is brilliant because they don't change it that much.

It’s been well over 25 years since I had to learn and sing it at orientation up on Hilltop. So no, I’m an alumnus and don’t know/remember the words.
