Here's a rousing version of Dixie from Oxford, MS many years ago. I don't usually like Dixie combined with the Battle Hymn, but they made it work. I believe some day Southerners, including Black Southerners, will embrace the song, as it's just a paean to the South and not really about the War as it predates it. And every SEC school including OK has some ties to the South.

Although I am a lifetime LSU fan, and all the SEC fight songs are unique and awesome…. I will go with the Aggie War Hymn…..

As much as it pains me, Texas has a great one.

Arkansas has a great one, too.

Arkansas Swing March.


This is the song Arkansas replaced Dixie with in 1969.

It's good. But I don't think its as good as Arkansas Fight.

Not really a fight song, but the strangest heard was last year at Mizzou. They played a weird mariachi sound with trumpets on 3rd down. I’ll be damned, but whatever that was, it almost worked!

Forgot to mention Arky as a non biased favorite. Arkansas Fight reminds me of a carousel ride for some reason

Lot of great SEC songs

Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, State, A&M, Florida come to mind first. I'm biased but I think Yea Alabama is pretty fantastic.

Swing March is better when it’s coupled with the A.

Forming of the A @ 8:54 mark

I seem to get “Hold That Tiger” stuck in my head and I really can’t complain much when it does.

We one of the ugliest dogs in the world, that's why we adopted her from a rescue organization because I thought no one would ever take her. She is a mix between a border collie and a blue healer and she still tries to herd me around the house! Especially when it is time to eat!

As for as fight songs go, I very much love Yeah Alabama. I love the build up and also like watching people trying to sing the words if they haven't sung it at least 100 times!

Grew up hearing GT’s fight song . I’m a ramblin wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva engineer. It also talks about drinking in it so I like it!
