We stayed for the Alma Mater at the end, but were disappointed when the team filed off the field. Plus the OSU team was doing something which we weren't gonna hang around for. What happened?

I think they only do it after a win. Not saying it's right.

I would like them to do it after every game especially when the team battles so hard despite the loss.

They used to do if after every game in football and basketball. I agree with Plum though. I'd rather not make the teams stand around for that after a loss.

I wish they still did "Loyal Sons" after the game. But I guess they'd have to do title/wording changes. Great song.

They haven't done the alma mater after a loss for quite some time now.

What has been irking me is that when we have done it this year, they put the words up on the big board instead of showing the coaches and players singing. I don't need to see the words, I'd rather see smiling, happy faces after a win.

That’s because they want you to sing, learn and remember the “wrong” words instead.😵💫

That's what I remember. Prior to playing the Alma Mater, the band used to play Loyal Sons at the end of the game, which a lot of the older alumni knew.
