	By my count, just entering the names of each state will get you a good handful, and anyone who knows college sports knows what suffixes to try for a few extras. The only "tricky" ones would, in theory, be the ones identified mainly by acronyms, or private schools (the Tiger Rag being the only one I missed... ah well)

	Should have put Big C on there instead. Sons of Westwood is just an adaptation of the Cal fight song.

	Maybe a little nitpicky, but Michigan's fight song is actually titled "The Victors." Great quiz!

	Too much time, IMO.

	surprised Georgia Tech was only 50%. Seemed like one of the most obvious.

	Anyone else think Tiger Rag was LSU?

	If we're getting technical, Notre Dame's is "The Notre Dame Victory March," but obviously you can't put that in. So I guess leave it as is. Pointless comment FTW!

	As someone from Boston who couldn't care less about college football, this quiz was waaaay too easy. Put in some well known, but non BCS songs. You know, something from when college football was great before it was taken over by big money.

	tried at least 100 versions of Texas A & M, wouldn't accept any of them.

	I don't care about sports at all, so I think 8 is really good being I just constantly guessed! I was wondering how I got "Tennessee," when I hadn't guessed it! Then I figured it out that I typed "Utah," quickly enough to not register as something else, but when I deleted the H, I paused to talk and it took UTA!

@journey2688 Yes, I tried versions of LSU more than once. I live in Lake Charles, LA - across the state from Baton Rouge.

	I missed the school I graduated from, where I currently work, and thought I was a huge football fan of... d'oh!

	It didn't accept Georgia Tech for me, but it accepted GT.

	"Rocky Top" is not the fight song of the University of Tennessee. Tennessee's fight song, borrowed from Yale, is "Down the Field", although their band certainly plays "Rocky Top" often. http://www.utk.edu/athletics/tn_songs.shtml

	I thought the Ohio State song was called Buckeye Battlcry. No?

	mjenks:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 13:58 GMT	0 points
	@ RootingForMeteor: A friend of mine (who grew up a fan of the Ohio State) said that Ohio State has different fight song for every team in the Big Ten, or a different version of their fight song or something like that. Maybe "Across the Field" is one of them and "Buckeye Battlecry" is another.

	No "Wild Blue Yonder?" Shame.

	Murray State University's "The Old Gray Mare" would have been a fun one...

	Technically, it's The Ohio State University, but I think for the purposes of this game it's fine the way it is. Also, technically, the fight song is titled "Fight the Team Across the Field" but it's been commonly shortened to either "Fight the Team" or "Across the Field." Buckeye Battle Cry is the song the band plays when they come onto the field to perform Script Ohio. I'm not sure who came up with there being different fight songs for individual Big 10 teams, that's just not true.

	No "On Wisconsin"?

	Fidelio:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 21:31 GMT	-3 points
	Am I the only one who saw "Rocky Top" and assumed it must be a school in Colorado?

	kevincrumbs:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 22:07 GMT	-1 points
	Not a Tennessee fan but "Rocky Top" is my favourite fight song. Great tune!

	geowiz85:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 22:25 GMT	5 points
	should be a forced answer quiz, theres enough time to just guess a bunch of BCS schools and hope you get lucky

	ClintT13:	Jan 15th, 2010 at 18:34 GMT	0 points
	From my years as a sportswriter, I can say with confidence that "On Wisconsin" is probably one of the three most copied fight songs in the nation (along with The Victors and The Notre Dame Victory March. Kinda surprised not to see it on there.

	What about "Hang on Sloopy" as a bonus answer? Great quiz, I'm glad the Buckeyes were included

	Orange and Blue could be Illinois or Virginia.

	I missed the two that had colors. I couldn't think of Florida for some reason. Some of these were too easy. Aggies always makes me think A&M. Anyone who follows football knows Rocky Top, Rambling Wreck, Boomer Sooner, and the Victors.
