Victory song?

Overreact much? He's probably right, it's one college out what, six at the university? That's just math that a minority of ISU student's would actually be in those careers. That's not putting down ag or denying that the biggest chunk of corporate money pouring into the university probably comes from the ag sector.

Saying that we should do all we can to show that we don't have any affiliation with agriculture is putting down ag. Thats basically what he's been saying.
 
We already have a great song - The Bells of Iowa State! My family sings it after every victory.

"When I wrote "The Bells of Iowa State," I thought then that it had much more depth and emotion than your basic football fight song," Wilson said. "Its continuing popularity leaves me very pleased, not so much because it's my own song, but because it has had such a good effect on those who have been touched by it." (The Iowa Stater, June 1983)

yes please. A few people on here have commented about how they enjoyed the polka version of the fight song.

As a former sousaphone player in the ISUCF"V"MB I can assure you that the band would be happy to play Beer Barrel Polka (although the thought of having the whole sousa section well-practiced on that song before the first game would likely drive the director nuts).
