Georgia Tech, a relatively unknown contender in the world of college fight music, places in our humble countdown.
Georgia Tech, simply put, is a great school. It is a public institution that has a fierce reputation when it comes to academics. And don’t even think about asking about the engineering program – it’s way out of your league.
So if you’re like most people, you’re probably thinking, “Yeah, sure, it’s a good school but all the football players just major in communications, right?”
Mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, nuclear engineering, biology, management, graduate studies; you get the picture. These guys will run the triple option right by your dumb ass and then make Dean’s List just for fun. Speaking of the triple option, your quarterback is nowhere near this hard. And then there’s the coach - Paul Johnson is a badass, and your argument is invalid.
As far as fight songs go – this one is pretty much perfect. Here is an summarized list of its achievements:
- Set to the tune of a drinking song
- Light cussing and references to alcohol/drinking throughout
- Touts the school’s engineering tradition
- Promotes the gentlemanly tradition of drinking whiskey straight
- Instills rivalry in the next generation
- Sung by Nikita Khrushchev and Richard Nixon – seriously
Cheers to you, Georgia Tech, and your damn fine fight song.
