[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 215692, member: 198"] How many of us on campus don't cheer the [B]brave and bold[/B]? When the song was written, it was highly inpolite for a young lady to use such coarse language as [B]To Hell with Georgia[/B], but it was quite acceptable for young men of character to do so. It's more about the sons being aggressive towards the opposing teams and the daughters being supportive of our team. The term [B]brave and bold[/B] describes the participants, not the spectators (or the student body in general). The comments about sons and daughters is describing what the spectators are to do. It totally misses the point of the spirit song to suggest that I'd put my daughter on the campus [B]to join the brave and bold[/B]. The lyric is about the daughters of alumni and fans cheering for our teams and the sons scrapping for a fight. It just shows that regardless of how smart some of these kids are, they're blinded by their zeal to change the world. I guess that's how the world gets changed, despite us old farts who are settled into the realities of life. My uncle used to tell me "the only thing worse than a young conservative is an old liberal," or was it "the only thing worse than an old liberal is a young conservative?" You get the point. . .
