Me:What? WHAT?!!! Where did that come from?
Mom: On their way to fame and glory...
Me:Hahaha!
Mom: Actually the words are a little different. Just looked them up. Rise and shout the cougars are out Along the trail to fame and glory..
Me: Haha! When did you ever learn it anyway?
Mom: O Rise, all loyal Cougars and hurl your challenge to the foe. You will fight, day or night, rain or snow. Loyal, Strong, and True Wear the White and Blue. While we sing, get set to spring. Come on Cougars, it's up to you! CHORUS: O Rise and Shout, the Cougars are out Along the trail to fame and glory. Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out, As you unfold your vict'ry story. On you go to vanquish the foe For Alma Mater's sons and daughters. As we join in song, in praise of you, our faith is strong. We'll raise our colors high in the blue, And cheer the Cougars of BYU. CHANT: "Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra (3x) GO COUGARS!"
Me: What are you on?
Mom: Who knows? Or better said, Who DOESN'T know the BYU fight song?!
Me: Um, normal people who didn't go to BYU.
Mom: Sorry but it is only normal people who DO go to BYU.
Me: That explains us.
Just a quick note, out of five kids, only one brother went to BYU, and I'm not sure quite how long he was there before moving home and going to a different school. Mom went to UC Riverside, and I've never seen her watch college sports, ever. We usually only watch the superbowl at home, if we remember that it is on. And I have NEVER heard her get excited for anything BYU in any way shape or form. Either momma has a screw loose, or somebody else hijacked her phone.
Watch it, little girl.
