[NU Sports] YES!!!

Or during the Citrus Bowl season:

Golden Gophers, I ask you why
This song makes me just want to cry
'Cats will triumph, it's only fair
What the hell is ski-u-mah
Blah, blah, blah, blah
You haven't got a prayer (Go 'Cats!)

(and then some of us in the band at the time added the stupid spelling
section while inside the Metrodome for Victory Right in 2000)

N-O-R-T-H-W-E-S-T-E-R-N . . . Northwestern, Northwestern
Gooooooooo 'Cats

Finally, I learned the pre-Citrus bowl lyrics slightly differently:

Gopher meatballs, gopher fondue
Golden Gophers are good for NU
Gopher snacks on crackers or toast
Anytime of day or night
Pick one up and take a bite
Let's have a gopher roast! (Go 'Cats!)
