SPURS POEM

Glory, Glory is the rallying  song 
 sung to our tune  and  sung at our games.
  The fight song  arranged
The Battle song of the old spurs
and the glory within our blood
Glory, glory to old to the old spurs
Glory, glory to those that will come
Glory, glory  Glory, glory to all those who were
Glory, glory to all those who are and will be


time, culture deities dedicated to glory,
in the mutual battle against all
  God and gods fit the bill.
Glory petitioning the deities , offerings of sacrifice
blood  and toil
and the glory
prayer,
 spells, to focus the mind and will , the desired goal,
ask assistance for your fuck ups
and those infidels North of us and the foul breath they breathe
And although we are taken, then, savagely. between us, glory is out there in the fields
and
with observances of position.

Glory in in his compassion

brought us victory,  by the gentle strength
of our style. charming everyone with balls that talk and speak glory,
to perfection.
and embodied shots of power braking fabric
wisdom and magic, restored our body to life after all was lost
on a day dedicated to slaughter long before
they perfected their plans,
they
equals in power
devoted merely to winning.
and those wishing for such qualities in their own lunchtime
but we say a simple pray to  glory
"may your love and devotion echo in our team and in our hearts"
 
while lotus, figs, myrrh and dates are appropriate for the Gods of glory,
share the taste of that day and those days
love feast
confirm your love,
wear the scarf,
the ancient symbol of  glory
to keep it
fresh and strong.

The Battle Hymn of the Bulldog Nation

A slower-played version, using a much more complete melody of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" is played before the start of each home football game on campus at Sanford Stadium. A trumpet-playing member of the Georgia Redcoat Marching Band takes a position in the upper deck of the south side stands, near the west endzone, and reverently plays the first seven notes of the Battle Hymn to a cheering crowd, while an historical video montage of the football team's greatest moments is displayed on monitors all around the stadium. The rest of the band on the field then finishes the first stanza and the song, which is referred to as "The Battle Hymn of the Bulldog Nation" by famous former Georgia play-by-play announcer Larry Munson. During the solo, the Bulldog fans in Sanford Stadium rise to their feet, take off their hats, and point them in the direction of the soloist as a sign of respect. This tradition was added following the internet publication of a tribute to UGA football entitled "Seven Notes On A Trumpet"[2] penned by an unnamed fan of UGA, originally posted on a UGA sports-related internet message board called the Dawg Vent. This is one of the most hallowed traditions of Georgia Bulldog football. The music for the slow Battle Hymn was arranged by UGA student arranger Jeff Simmons in 1987 and has become the Redcoat Band's signature piece.
