View source for Minnesota Fight

"'''Minnesota Fight'''" is one of several [[school song]]s of the [[University of Minnesota]].  Responding to a 1925 contest to find an additional [[fight song]] for the school, university graduate Truman E. Rickard entered a piece entitled "Minnesota! Let's Go!".  Rickard shared the contest's hundred-dollar prize with another entry, Marion Bassett's "[[Our Minnesota]]".  Rickard's fight song can still be heard at [[Minnesota Golden Gophers|Minnesota Golden Gopher]] athletic events, but is now known as "Minnesota Fight".

{{quote|<poem>Minnesota! Come on! Let's go!
It's a loyal crowd that's here;
With a [[Sis-Boom-Bah]] and a Ski-U-Mah,
For the varsity we cheer!
RAH! RAH!
The old fight gang! On your marks—Slam! Bang!
Hit 'em hard and hit 'em low!
So Fight! Minnesota, Fight
Minnesota! Come on! Let's go!</poem>}}
