Fight Song / School Song

[meangreener]

What a joke. The Green Brigade just have the right to change the fight song to their liking? Complete bull.

[elig57]

I know! And even some of the band members that I know said they wished that it hadn't been `revised" for the year.

Actions have consequences. It is hard to grow up sometimes for some people.

Yeah, when the student section completely ignores the fight song the GB will realize how idiotic getting rid of it is.

[elig57]

Frankly, I can't wait until that happens. And hello! If you didn't want that on national tv, why don't you use censors?

[KRAM1]

Well, if the students have no respect for themselves or the UNT fight song, perhaps it is best that they keep their mouths shut while it is played. You might just be on to something here.

I believe it was some of the students that took it upon themselves to change the lyrics first. I don't think the Green Brigade started this mess. I'm not so sure it was the Green Brigade that made the call to abbreviate the song either.

[KRAM1]

What is so nutty about all this is that the students who "changed" the fight song by adding the childish and offensive language to the fight song in the first place are now complaining that someone changed the fight song. More than a little irony in that!

[Green P1]

I noticed it at the basketball game on Thursday. I don't care for the mutha#]*|^% part that's been added by the students, but I hate the fact that they've dropped the chant from the fight song.

[elig57]

No, it probably wasn't the Green Brigade that came up with the idea, but they went aalong with it and shortened it anyway. I really just don't see what it's going todo for anybody. First, we're not going to have another game on national TV again this year, and second, since it was some of the students who were cussing, why punnish everybody else by making the song about a minute shorter? That makes absolutely no sense to me! Third, half of the GB members I asked said that was their favorite part! So, they're even punnishing the people who play it! Nice!

Sad part is that you seem to think it is in any way appropriate.

The national TV audience weren't the only ones offended by it. Pathetic having parents having to cover their kids' ears during their alma mater's fight song.

[elig57]

No, I don't think it's appropriate. But, if the students knew it was joing to be on national TV , and the camera might just come around to the students secsion, they should have thought about maybe not saying it that time so that this whole thing wouldn't happen. It's their fault. So, why punnish everyone else who just said U N T eagles, when they didn't do anything wrong?

[KRAM1]

Indeed! Yet, those who support this think it's all OK. Their parents would be so proud...Oh, that's right, they are so proud of it that they probably would not participate in this immature behavior should their parents or kid brothers/sisters be in attendance.

The old adage is probably correct here....if you would not do it if your mother was watching, you probably should not be doing it even if she isn't.

Hey, I don't get to spell things with my arms anymore. I don't know that there's any greater punishment.

But, and I think SilverEagle would agree with me... I'm willing to sacrifice the arm-spelling pageantry to avoid having Darrell Dickey's favorite 12-letter word included in the fight song.

There are appropriate times and places to say the word "m-----f-----" at a North Texas sporting event. One is under your breath when we're losing. The other is when GreenP1 jumps in a concessions line in front of you, and then only if there are no kids in earshot.

[elig57]

You're right about that. But what about when the other team gets a touch down, and the whole section starts yelling bullsh**? Nobody said anything about that, did they?

[TheTastyGreek]

You're right about that. But what about when the other team gets a touch down, and the whole section starts yelling bullsh**?

I thought those were all Ag kids.

[elig57]

Nope, just about everybody. I'd rather them not let people say yell bullsh** than have them change the fight song, which to me is like changing a symbol of UNT. That's like not allowing the eagle claw anymore.

[TheTastyGreek]

That's like not allowing the eagle claw anymore.

Funny you should mention that... 3 fingers, or 4?

[KRAM1]

Nope, just about everybody. I'd rather them not let people say yell bullsh** than have them change the fight song, which to me is like changing a symbol of UNT. That's like not allowing the eagle claw anymore.

Gee, Mom...everyone else is doing it. Why can't I?

Great logic!

[elig57]

It's three fingers.

[TheTastyGreek]

It's three fingers.

Controversial.

I don't have the heart to tell you about the years Scrappy spent in a communist prison.

[elig57]

Oh. I didn't know about that. When did Scrappy get into a communist prison?

[CurveItAround]

Good grief. The fact that this conversation even has to occur proves that we are still dealing with 'young adults' that are trying to test their boundaries to learn the difference between right and wrong.

The school fight song is no place for something like this. It is inappropriate. Period. Grow up.

C'MON MAN!

[elig57]

Agreed. So... Back to what this was about. Does anyone know where I can get an mp3 of the Alma Mater?
