Texas Fight

Now if you have ever been to a UT football game you know that the crowds FAVORITE chant during the fight song is:

Give 'em hell! Give 'em hell! Make 'em eat shit!


Although this chant is fun to say it's also extremely inappropriate for obvious reasons. The actual lyrics to the fight song are as follows:

Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
And it's goodbye to A&M.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
And we'll put over one more win.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
For it's Texas that we love best.
Hail, Hail, The gang's all here,
And it's good-bye to all the rest!

(YELL)
Yea Orange! Yea White!
Yea Longhorns! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Texas Fight! Texas Fight,
Yea Texas Fight!
Texas Fight! Texas Fight,
Yea Texas Fight!

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Texas Fight, Texas Fight,
For it's Texas that we love best.
Hail, Hail, The gang's all here,
And it good-bye to all the rest!

Explanation of the transition from the original lyrics to what is actually chanted:

"Hail, Hail, The gang's all here" à "Give 'em hell, Give 'em hell, Go Horns Go!" à"Give 'em hell! Give 'em hell! Make 'um eat shit!"

What this means: basically college students are crazy.

When you put a bunch of die hard UT fans and mix in the change of times where cussing in public has become a norm, cussing in a fight song is the result (not always but for the sake of this specific chant it is in my opinion).

Now in my search for a video of the Texas Fight song, apparently everyone who posted anything on YouTube.com about the song thought that "Make 'em eat shit" was an inappropriate addition to the fight song.

But here's a link to a video with the lyrics to the song so ya'll can have an idea as to what all these crazy Longhorn fans are chanting:
