… comes from a comment on the GTP “About Me” page:
I have no doubt that “Dooley’s Junkyard Dawgs” is the greatest college football song ever but what is the second greatest? Is there a second?
Good questions. I’m so dazzled by the original…
… that I’ve never given second place much consideration.
So I think I’ll open up the floor for nominations. It can be a fight song, or anything else, as long as it has a direct college football flavor to it. Let’s hear your choices.
I should warn you, though – anybody selecting “Zombie Nation” runs the risk of a permanent ban from here.

“Give Herschel Walker the Ball” by Albany’s Bobby Joiner was a good one, although it was a 45 single that probably didnt get much play beyond Sowega. I also nominate lewis Grizzard’s “A Bulldawg’s Prayer”…

While the stuffed Harry Dawg I gave my grandson will play that song by pressing his hand, it doesn’t evoke the Dawg fighting spirit, just the go-out-and-fight-and-die spirit.
Senator, it would be a genuine hoot to compose lyrics and music to a decent UGA fight song on gtp, much like the Montana Project.With the varied musical tastes and appreciation on here, it would be a slam dunk.
First decision: A song to represent all our athletic teams or just the football team? I vote only UGA Football. Could imitate a British Pub song (The Star Spagled Banner music has already been claimed from a pub song) or lyrics or music only(Redcoats theme).

I’ll admit to liking Tech’s version of the Budweiser Song. I’ve also always liked USC’s Tribute to Troy. And I still enjoy hearing Hail to the Victors and Notre Dame’s song on a late fall as I’m watching an afternoon game up there when the shadows are really long. I may not like the teams, but those are some of the great college football sounds.
In the SEC, LSU’s Chinese Bandits and ‘Four Notes’ are good. Nothing makes me sicker than hearing the Gators play the Jaws theme… except maybe hearing Rocky Top for the 50th time, or Rama Jama. Ugh, awful.
I’m proud that the Redcoats have kept our traditional battery of things to play after first downs/defensive stops/etc. We have a lot of unique things we do. Glad that we never jumped on fads like the Darth Vader/Empire March and things like that.
