Gadabout attended the UVA vs. Duke Football game today. UVA won by a score of 24-13. It was an uneventful game, but I was Glad UVA prevailed because I am now a Virginian of sorts. But Gadabout would like to offer some advice to the UVA football program—replace your depressing touchdown song with something inspirational. Gadabout attended Michigan State University where he enjoyed many fine and enthusiastic games; especially the 1978/79 Big Ten winning season. Okay, we were on probation at the time for recruiting violations, but we kicked ass all the same.
At MSU we go crazy when the team scores. We play a fight song that is bold and strikes fear into the hearts and minds of the opponents. It ends with “Victory for MSU!” Michigan State wins lots of football games, and UVA usually does not. The difference? The fight song. UVA’s fight song sucks. Until they drop that depressing funeral chant, there is no way in hell they will ever field a winner. Nice campus, good people, below average football.
