Damn it, Jim Delany...this is why we can't have nice things.

John Philip Sousa said that Michigan's fight song "The Victors" was the greatest college football march ever composed. Very appropriately, Michigan's marching band was the very first recipient of the prestigious Sudler Trophy which honors the top marching band in the nation. It's awarded by the John Philip Sousa Foundation.

The 2 most famous fight songs from the B10 are "The Victors" and "On, Wisconsin!" "The Victors" is the most famous fight song, as the legendary John Philip Sousa called it the greatest college football march ever composed. You only hear the melody here and not the full march. With the fanfare & opening to "The Victors", which is missing here, you'll understand why it's called "the 1812 Overture" & "Stars & Stripes" of all college football marches.

I-L-L ... I-N-I !!!! No doubt the Big 10 has the best fight songs in the country. Nice job

Who knew Nebraska had such an awesome song. Lyrics are funny as hell, but an awesome song!

They saved the best two for the last! Hail Purdue! On Wisconsin!

Trombone in the second stanza of hail Purdue is killer
-
Sparty on!!

Agree with you. "Hail to the victors valiant" is only the beginning of the chorus. "The Victors" also has to be one of the oldest if not the oldest of its genre still in use. I don't know of too many songs of any kind written in or about 1898 that are still popular today! "On Wisconsin"? Okay, but not even a close runner-up.

If you look at the comments above, you'll see that I made essentially the same comment about "The Victors" to 2013Boilermaker about a year ago. Agree that the Big Ten has, taken as a conference, the best fight songs in the country. You make a good point when you say that the Big 10 is by far the oldest conference of any in the nation, founded in 1896 (although it only had seven schools then, one of which - Chicago - is long gone).
