The Mighty Guins
« on: September 03, 2012, 05:01:11 PM »
Well I brought this up once before ..and I will try here once again. All schools seem to have pop songs that become their unofficial anthem. OSU has "Hang on Sloopy"  (the McCoy's version). Saturday we heard Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" mixed in with 'let's go pitt'. When I was just a kid, YSU used to play the Manfred Mann version of the classic "The Mighty Quinn". Fans changed the lyrics.

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn (change to Guins)

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here (fans really did not change this line, but we were kids and used to say "when Pete the Penguin gets here")
Everybody's gonna jump for joy

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn (Guins)

---------------------------------

A team song has to be old & a classic ..it fits very well. If we could get the guys in the sound and video to cooperate ...we have our song.

After our victory over Pitt I couldn't get that out of my mind until today-(The Mighty Guins).Now I can't get that song "Hungry like the Wolf " out of my mind.

I agree completely.  "The Mighty Quinn" over the speakers instead of the usual garbage they play would be an absolute hit.  But remember that you are dealing with people that still don't comprehend the stupidity of 4:00 kickoffs.
