My kids picked their favorite team for the fall by their fight songs. Here are their picks.

It started last fall at DKR listening to “Texas Fight”, ad nauseam, and then the question from my four-year-old:

"Do all teams have fight songs?"

"Yeah, buddy, they do."

"I want to hear ALL of them!!"

 

So my two boys and I got around to it and they’ve picked their favorite and least favorite from the P5, along with their favorites overall. They’ve chosen to adopt a team this year based on their favorite song. The four-year-old’s responses are first, then the six-year-old’s.

Kids really screwed me on the SEC. Before we started I told them I'd buy them each a jersey of the team they picked, so I now have a four-year-old walking around my house in an Ark jersey for the foreseeable future. I could have done without that, but I agree with the other one that “The Victors” is probably the best in all of football. They both picked teams on our schedule this year, so I made the deal that we could go watch each of them, so we'll be in Ann Arbor in September and then down in Fayetteville in November.
