WRIGHT ST. STOLE THE RAZORBACK FIGHT SONG!!!!!!!!!

[_Collin1]

I am not even kidding about this.  I have my Cox DVR going and I just rewinded it 4 times and listened. 

"Carry on with all your might...  for its AAARKANSAS, fight fight fight"

Not even kidding.  The words are probably different, but the band was playing our fight song.  Wright St. IS A FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NuttinItUp]

we need to sue

[_Collin1]

I found it... I am hurt.   Really hurt.

Go to FANS -->  Fight Song

I am picking Wright St. to win it all cause of their fight song.

[WPSRazorbacks]

we need to sue

The University of Arkansas doesn't even "own" the fight song. Some scallywags in Texas own it and just let us barrow it from them for "University-related purposes."

                                                                                                                                        

[Ex-Trumpet]

Who's their band director?  I heard it was some dude named "Heston Nott"

[lunchbox72703]

we need to sue

unfortunately we can't.  The UofA doesn't own the song.  They lease the right to use it through a company called "Southern Music" out of San Antonio Texas.

[HoopS]

They have been playing it for several years.

great minds think alike, and apparently they read the same articles too LOL

[Ouachihog]

Wow, that's actually kinda shocking.  I had no idea schools could share fight songs. 

Guess it makes sense, b/c the real owner of the song can allow whoever he/she wants to use it, but it is strange. 

[Beau McCastlain]

That is a shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All this time I thought we were the only ones!!!     At least they can't have the hog call!!  :razorback:  Here's the funny part: they call themselves the raiders yet a dog or wolf is on their logo!!

[fred ziffel]

Wright State University Fight Song

We are tough,
We are great,
We are Wright State.
We will defeat every foe,
They will know,
We are here,
When we all stand up and cheer...Victory
With our green and our gold,
Raiders onward,
We will fight right and be true,
So let's go, fight, win.
Let the action begin,
We're from W-S-U!

[V B Porkers]

Blight St -- Everything is awful about that place from the coaches on down

[WPSRazorbacks]

The more I think about this the more pissssssssed off I get. WE DONT EVEN OWN OUR OWN FIGHT SONG!!! Surely the University could scrounge up enough money to pay off the little piss ants who own our song.

[football17]

My h.s. uses the same fight song as Wisconsin... I know Shiloh Christian uses Notre Dames... it happens all the time with high schools.

[razor5396]

Arkansas' sounds better.

[RazorZach]

I could give a rat's @$$ about high school. We played the Wisconsin fight song at Charleston, but having another COLLEGE with the same fight song as the U of A is disgraceful. I know quite a bit about fight songs from all over the country but had no idea the UA didn't even own the rights to the fight song. How sad.


I blame Houston. 

[lunchbox72703]

the last thing Broyles should do in office is to schedule a home and home with Wright State.  The Music might be the same, but the power of the fanbase is not!!!!   WPS!!!!!  Let the Choir of Razorbacks sing high to the Heavens!!!!!!

[TorsinAHog]

They can take the alma mater if they want.

[hogblade]

I always thought the A-R_K-A-N-SAS Arkansas.. never flowed right. I was stupid enough to believe it was written together for some reason, and unique to Arkansas.  I'm way too naive

[Ex-Trumpet]

They can take the alma mater if they want.

The alma mater goes great to the melody from "Hee Haw"..."You met another and &^&$%$@$#%^ she was gone...

Think about it..."Pure as the dawn on the brow of thy beauty...............Mother of Mothers we sing unto you!"

[Pragmatic PiG]

they may end up stealing arkansas's spot in the dance 

[ledhead830]

My h.s. uses the same fight song as Wisconsin... I know Shiloh Christian uses Notre Dames... it happens all the time with high schools.

Doesn't Shiloh use When the Saints Go Marching Home as their fight song. That's not exactly the Notre Dame Victory March.

[Big Papa Satan]

Stuttgart & Greenwood, off the top of my head, use the Notre Dame song.

Jonesboro, Batesville, and everybody else and their brother play On Wisconsin.

Not to mention that Wynne, Alma, Warren, Mountain Home and a slew of other schools, including Tulane, play different variations of the Washington and Lee Swing.

Schools sharing fight songs ain't anything new.

[_Collin1]

If Wright St. is going to the dance and we aren't..  who is the high school team?

I got a funny one for you Hogville.....

Imagine Wright St. pulls a George Mason this year and we hear our fight song at theFinal 4?

[SPAL]

yep, they stole any hopes of arkansas gettin into the dance outside of winning the SECT as well.

My Alma Mater playes Eye of the Tiger...  rock on Bentonville

It's actually written as  A-A-A..R-K-A-N..SAS for Arkansas, but no one sings it that way

You mean HIGH SCHOOLS and small colleges sharing fight songs is nothing new...  Its not something you see very often on the D1 level

i did when i sang it...and i also said, rah rah when all the cooler hipper people were singing go hogs after give a cheer.

[DEVIL DOG HOG]

Are they going to fire their coaches?

I think the 3 As are a carry-over from the musical notation indicating that the letter is sung over a range of three different notes.  But, I'm sure the University won't crack down too hard on you for singing it however you want.

[LA HAWG]

Kinda ironic that they stuck a dagger in our NCAA hopes and we share fight songs.

There is no spelling class, so they don't care...

Yeah, I've always wondered about the 3 A's there.  Why is that?  It is stupid.

I know that Lake Hamilton uses Northwesterns fight song.

[Smithian]

My HS plays Dixie. 

Worst part about it?

Ole Miss plays it, too.

Fort Smith Southside = 2006 7A-State Champions!

[JusticeHawg]

Louisiana Tech uses a "secondary" fight song that is also one that UCLA uses.    I have been told that there are several D-1 schools that use the same song.    The high school i came from  also uses the Northwestern fight song.....

[Rod6275]

what a bunch of wanna bee's  look at  their code of  conduct:

"A. Conduct yourself in such a manner as to bring credit to you, the Department of Athletics, and the university."

Good  Job ,  you  stole our  fight  song..............

[HOG71]

Oklahoma stole Yale's fight song......I think I would have picked a better one.....boola boola

[TorsinAHog]

I swear I have heard another team playing the Texas fight song.  I cant remember who it was.  Must have sold their soul for that one.

[xteri]

As a former band geek, I must confess that fight songs are one of the most universally reviled musical genres in existence. Somewhere, in the distant corner of the galaxy, I have no doubt that a civilization has imploded solely due to the ongoing usage of these hideous ditties that energize no one.

I'll take 10 seconds of "smack" snippet songs over a fight song anyday. The fans get more involved when you play something aggressive that they recognize. We might as well use an Irish drinking song for our fight song for all the good it does. It would embolden the tavernites at the tailgate, at least.

[LJHOG]

Even worse, Wright State stole an NCAAT bid with the win over Butler.  Hope it wasn't ours.

[Hogblog]

That is a shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All this time I thought we were the only ones!!!     At least they can't have the hog call!!  :razorback:  Here's the funny part: they call themselves the raiders yet a dog or wolf is on their logo!!

<---------------- you stole my name Beau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HawgWyld]

Heh.

Dallas Pecan.

Irving Cashew.

Austin Gooberpea...

Please don't suggest it....Broyles will start alternating them with Tennessee Chattanooga.

I totally disagree with you on that one.  Our fight song is great and easily the best thing our band plays.  Now, whether you blame that on the other musical selections or not is another story.  Personally, I think our fight song is great and most of the students seem to really respond well when we play it.  I'd rather hear the fight song over the "Hey Song" (one of my favorite experiences ever was the overpowering "HEY, YOU SUCK!" by the Wisky fans at the Capital 1 Bowl.) or some other random crap that every other band plays.

Tell that to Michigan, Notre Dame, and USC.  Arguably the 3 best fight songs in the nation.

God forbid anyone steal Tusk from us....

[rzrbaxfan]

I've been to a HS football game where both teams used the Notre Dame fight song.  I'm sick of that song now.
