To replace the drum line in CFB 25, I've been listening to college fight songs. Of course Arkansas' is a favorite. Also love LSU's Hey Fighting Tigers. What are some other favorites?

Least favorite would be a better topic or most annoying

The best & greatest fight song in the land.....the only collegiate fight song used on the battleships in the Pacific Theatre of World War II to spur and motivate our men on to VICTORY!!!

Fanfare (Tribute to Troy)....Fight On!......Conquest (played on ships coming home from war)

As pieces of music go, I think LSU and Texas are the best. Well orchestrated, well structured, interesting harmony, etc. I'd throw Arkansas in the same category

GA Tech, Michigan and Notre Dame are in honorable mention as being iconic

Boomer Sooner - OU
Hail to the Victors -Michigan
Notre Dame Victory March
Florida State War Chant
Illinois War Chant
I'm going to get downvoted for this but I always liked hearing the aTm band play Noble Men of Kyle when we played them.

You HAVE to appreciate the lone trumpeter & slow version of "Glory" during pregame.

Florida’s Gator Bait gives me PTSD. Dixie was glorious if only Ole Miss didn’t give in. LSU’s is cool and way better than Clemson. Rocky Top is great when the crowd really lets it go and it’s literally talking about killing Feds. Georgia would be cool if it wasn’t a Yankee marching song. A&M’s is good when the crowd gets in on it.

Always Yea Alabama

But not ours?

I do like LSU's TD song the best followed by Auburn's TD song they seem to only play infrequently these days. Their Working on the Railroad is way better than Georgia's.

Then outside the conference is probably Michigan's and USC's.

My favorites songs
1. USC: Tribute to Troy
2. FSU: War Chant
3. Tie: Notre Dame and Michigan (Mainly because I can't tell them apart and they both just sound like old school college football).

Consolation:
Texas: March Grandioso
Aggie: Noble men of Kyle sounds pretty cool, I have to admit.

Iowa State is the most traditional fight song to play - especially the bones - sincerely, Ima Lipbuster -



The 101 sits atop the HBCU fight song list - leading into 'Get Up for the Bulldogs" -
