The USC Trojan Marching Band performed a pre-game pep rally Friday afternoon on Chicago's Navy Pier, welcoming hundreds of Trojan Faithful to the Windy--and stormy--City. Following the pep rally, the band broke from its usual repertoire of ten songs to break into the Notre Dame Fight Song.
Well, not exactly. As you can hear in this video, this version of the song mentions nothing about thunder from the sky, but instead mentions what the Trojans are going to do to the Irish on Saturday. Hopefully.
Watch about halfway into the song and hear the band go acapella, "In heaven, there is ... no ... beer." A jingle which has been in my head all afternoon.

At least the sort of know something besides that stupid, REDUNDENT fight song they continually play. Definitely a class act...

We don't need to give ND anymore blackboard material with all the injuries we have. Remember how many times in this rivalry the underdog has won.

BOY IS THAT TYPICAL OF SC. I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED SOME CLASS. I GUESS I SHOULD SAY THANKS FOR THE BLACKBOARD MATERIAL AND THE EXTRA MOTIVATION. MY FRIENDS AT UCLA ARE RIGHT. IT IS THE UNIVERSITY OF SPOILED CHILDREN. GO IRISH !!

JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT, IT'S TOO BAD THAT THE BAND WASN'T IN THE JET THAT GOT CAUGHT IN THE STORM INSTEAD OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM. GO IRISH !!

I'm glad that there is at least someone out there who is willing to be a little un-PC in today's world and doesn't live as pretentiously as those who claim to be "classy" or "tasteful." Wasn't a USC fan before, but I sure am now.
As a side note, I bet everyone in that band can spell "redundant."

Wow, if you think that's bad, you should hear the rest of the verses.. the ones we don't sing in public.
Fight on! Beat the Ducks!
