Alma Mater after Game

[HOTMello2005]

How many people can we get tonight to stay and sing the Alma Mater after the game is done?

If you don't know all the words, here's a link:

The past years, HOT would just play the Alma Mater.....At the end of last week's game, did you notice we sang the Alma Mater (first verse only)?....Would love to have fellow Bulls join in with us! ;D 8-)

I'll help out!

[applepj]

We always stay and sing.

[outrunner]

I'm in.

Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater

May thy name be told,

Where above thy gleaming splendor,

Waves the green and gold.

Thou our guide in quest for knowledge.

Where we all are free

University of South Florida,

Alma Mater, Hail to thee!

Be our guide in truth and wisdom

As we onward go,

May thy glory, fame and honor

Never cease to grow;

May our thoughts and prayers

be with thee through eternity,

University of South Florida,

Alma Mater, Hail to thee!

[Bull Matrix]

I hope all you true Bull fans stay and sing the alma mater. It is a great college traditon that needs to be at USF.

Yep, you don't leave the stadium until the Alma Mater is sung.  Tradition starts here.

Hmmn - how not to make this into smack....

I don't know how - so don't take it as such - but for here it goes:

If you're going to copy everything that UCFs band does, which by merit of observation alone you've done - and it makes sense knowing who your staffers are - then just copy the good stuff.   I think it's terrible that the UCF band plays the Alma Mater after the game and can't see how it would be better at USF or any other school.

I think everyone should put it at a customary time in the 3rd quarter or so if they really want it to be the "schools" alma mater and not just the band.

Just a general college football opinion.

Get over yourselves.

Thanks.

If I remember from my year in the HOT, we played the alma mater on field in pregame and after the game in stands, is this still true?

By the way, here's a pic I found (a while back) of myself (in 2003) on field:

Yes we still do this,

And just as a note, the Alma Mater is something that brings every generation of bulls together, cause from now till kingdom come, thats going to be it, thats going to be the Alma Mater, so grab the bull next to you, even if you don't know them, and sing along, cause we are all brothers and sisters here at USF and **** proud of it too
