When I was in school, "Mighty Bears" was the main fight song and it was the one with the BAYLOR spell out. Old Fite had a chant instead of the spell out that went.
"Fight Fight Baylor U, we're for you - Go Bears!
Fight Fight Baylor U we'll win through - Yea Team!
Get in the fight then with all your might you Bruins Bold
We'll win all our victories for the Green and Gold."

The second song is a Fight Song written by Fred Waring who was a famous band leader of the '40s His band was Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians.

Found Mighty Bears. the Wrods are

"Bear Down You Mighty Bears of Baylor
Bear down you green and gold
Show that Baylor Fight
Go with all your might
We will win today for B A Y L O R (Spelled out)
Bear Down You Mighty Bears of Baylor
Let's go all the way
Raise your green and gold on high this is Baylor's day!
Then the regualr spell out
and back to the song and repeat
Bear dow you Might Bears of Baylor
let's go all the way
Raise your green and gold on high this is Baylor's day!

This is the problem as far as our Fight Song is concerned. "Old Fite" has been BU's fight song since 1947, yet everyone relates with some other "main fight song" from when they were in school.

I actually didn't know the words to "Old Fite" until a couple of years ago. it's a crying shame that Baylor doesn't do more to familiarize their students with stuff like this.

Well done, gramps (and anyone else involved in this project)!

Sorry Old300, i wasn't suggesting that was where you were going with your post. i was more referring to how Baylor has completely missed the boat on laying down the foundation for simple football traditions like knowing the fight song and alma mater. it was as if neither one of them existed when i was a young pup, at Baylor. I wouldn't have known the words to "That Good Ol' Baylor Line" while i was in school had it not been for my mom being such a big Baylor fan.

hate them as we all do, agsy definitely got it right in instilling pride in their song and making the singing of it an event in and of itself. it may sound stupid now, singing about UT when they're no longer playing each other, but i wish our enthusiasm and knowledge of our song(s) came even remotely close to that of Southeastern a&m.
