TUNE THE PIANO, SONGSMITHS
You, too, may be the next Louis Elbel: the University of Washington is seeking a new fight song and is holding an open contest for submissions. Off the top of head, the first song coming to mind when thinking of Willingham’s repeated references to his “system” is, well, this, because ever since his first year at Notre Dame the “system” has been most definitely down:
It would have to go with some nice Fenerbahce-stand-hopping, of course, but we think it would be perfect, especially with a lyric sheet reading “buh-DOO-do-DOO-do-DEH” over and over again.

I always liked Washington’s fight song, personally. I have a soft spot for old college fight songs that reference things like “crossing the Dardanelles” and such.
Then again, I guess most people would too if they knew what the Dardanelles were.

If anyone missed Strong Bad emails somewhere along the line, the song comes from here.
I also had a cell phone in high school; they’ve been around for a while. The old brickphones originally came out in 1984, a year before I was born, and I’ve got a master’s degree, y’all.
