School Pride

WSU is the best college in the USA. It's where I met some my husband and good friends; and learned to dislike the Huskies a lot! There is one thing Coug alumni have and that is school pride. I got into an argument two weeks ago at my nephew's bday party with a Eastern Eagle alum who is a passionate Husky fan. He went to school on the eastern side of the state - but is still a Husky fan? I don't get that - but then, he is an odd fellow (right B?). Right!

This the band, Vertigo Bliss (made up of WSU students). I recently heard they have a new take on the WSU fight song. The other song, incoming Freshman learn at orientation (Fight, fight, fight for Washington State! Win the victory! Win the day for Crimson & Gray!) etc. Vertigo Bliss' take is sung to the Beach Boys' tune Be True to Your School. Here are Vertigo Bliss' lyrics:

When some loud braggart tries to put me down And says his school is great I tell him right away Now what’s the matter buddy Ain’t you heard of Wazzu We're going straight to the top So be true to wazzu now Just like you would to your girl or guy Be true to your wazzu And let the crimson fly Be true to Wazzu

I got a letterman’s sweaterWith a cougar on front I got for football and track I’m proud to where it now When I cruise around The other parts of the town All the huskies bow down. So be true to wazzu now Just like you would to your girl or guy Be true to your Wazzu now And let the crimson fly Be true to Wazzu


On Friday we’ll be jacked up on the football game And I’ll be ready to fight We’re gonna smash ’em now My girl will be working on her pom-poms now And she’ll be yelling tonight (Go cougs!)So be true to Wazzu now Just like you would to your girl or guy Be true to Wazzu now And let the crimson fly Be true to Wazzu

Rah rah rah be true to Wazzu Rah rah rah be true to Wazzu
Rah rah rah be true to Wazzu Rah rah rah be true to Wazzu
