The Glories of Utah (Part IV)


Encouraged by the recent events of Utah Athletics I felt like breaking out in song. But since you can't hear me sing, imagine it, or sing the words yourself, provided below:




Utah Man

VERSE
I am a Utah man, sir, and I live across the green.
Our gang, it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.
Our coeds are the fairest and each one's a shining star.
Our yell, you hear it ringing through the mountains near and far.

CHORUS

Who am I, sir? A Utah man am I A Utah man, sir, and will be till I die; Ki!Yi!
We're up to snuff; we never bluff,
We're game for any fuss,
No other gang of college men
dare meet us in the muss.
So fill your lungs and sing it out and
shout it to the sky,
We'll fight for dear old Crimson,
for a Utah man am I.

VERSE

And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row,
And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go.
No matter if a freshman green, or in a senior's gown,
The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.

CHORUS

VERSE
We may not live forever on this jolly good old sphere,
But while we do we'll live a life of merriment and cheer,
And when our college days are o'er and night is drawing nigh,
With parting breath we'll sing that song:
"A Utah Man Am I"...GO UTES!!




The reasons for my elated song:

  • The beating the Utah Ute Football team handed Alabama at the 2009 Sugar Bowl to cap off a perfect season
  • The brutal slaughtering of the school down south in the rivalry dubbed the "Holy War"
  • Watching the Runnin' Utes outlast BYU in the Huntsman Center on Tuesday night
  • Utah Women's Basketball team pulling off a convincing victory at the Marriot Center on Wednesday night
  • And should any of you forget: In 2004 the Utah Football team weas the first non-BCS team bust the BCS and went on to beat Pittsburgh in the Tostito's Fiesta Bowl!


    P.S. I would dare say that Utah will be the winner of the Deseret First Duel which is currently 26 to 6 in Utah's favor.
