I just read in the world herald that after every game this season, that the team is going to sing the school fight song. It just mentions it as a little blurb and I was wondering if the Huskers have ever done this before? I know Texas does this and the fans stay and sing with the players. Could be something kinda neat.
New Tradition in the making?

That would be pretty cool. I believe Notre Dame does something like that as well. I recall always seeing the ND students on the field with the players after the game singing the school song - but Im not sure they do it after a loss so they havent had much to sing about lately. Think we would do it after a loss (Bobfather forbid) either? Doubt they will ever let fans on the field to do that at NU though (unless we stormed it) - but I suppose its just too much of a liability - see MU.

Arkansas does the same thing. It's pretty cool after a big win.

First offensive play from the Black Bears: deep post route!

Result: Bowman gets his first ever pick on his first ever college down.
Anyways, just another improvment on the attitude and style of this year's squad over last year. I cant wait for next weekend, Husker gameday will be back, and the team is doing all they can to keep tradition alive.

Maybe HuskerNside will have it on video the next day.

I like the singing idea. Of course the lyrics are a little out-dated but thats what makes it fun. At least we dont have the word "gay" in our song.
"where we are all true blue?"
or
where we are all true red?

1. Light in color, especially blond: fair hair.
2. Of light complexion: fair skin. *racist* :rollin
Of pleasing appearance, especially because of a pure or fresh quality; comely.

Rigidly conventional; dull.
not sure what blue meant? I know we are not depressed, maybe an analogy to the blue collar workers being tough...lets change it to RED :thumbs

"True blue". It means "loyal".
True Blue refers to nobility, actually. In the way-before time when royals intermarried there were a lot of children born with hemophilia and/or anemia. Both conditions tend to make one very fair skinned with veins that were quite prominent (not to mention lack of exposure to the sun since few nobels engaged in manual labor).
The blue tinge of the vein led to the belief that the noble blood was blue, thus "True Blue" means of noble blood.
Or something like that...
IRISH!

Not in the context of the song's lyrics.
True Blue:
Loyal, faithful, as in You can count on her support; she's true blue. This expression alludes to the idea of blue being the color of constancy, but the exact allusion is disputed. One theory holds it alludes to the unchanging blue sky, another to the fastness of a blue dye that will not run. In the mid-1600s the Scottish Covenanters, who pledged to uphold Presbyterianism, were called true blue (as opposed to red, the color of the royalists). In the 1800s the same term came to mean “staunchly Tory,” and in America, “politically sound.”
