The University of Utah is tweaking its official fight song amid concerns the former version was sexist. University President David Pershing announced the changes Wednesday. The new song replaces “our coeds are the fairest” with “our students are the finest.” The phrase “no other gang of college men” becomes “no rival band of college fans.” But the new version doesn’t officially change the lyrics from “I’m a Utah man” to “I’m a Utah fan.” Both are listed as options, allowing singers to choose which phrase they sing. Officials say fans may still choose to sing the former version. A panel of students, school officials, employees, and alumni were tasked with reworking the anthem. Pershing says the new version keeps tradition while including more members of the school community.
Bunch of pajama boys!
Pajama boys indeed! How about ‘we are uni-sex’ or maybe ‘no sex.’ Such idiocy.
They’d better not mess with UF’s “We Are the Boys”....They tried to do it once, but the students fought back.
How would they go about stopping them? Official lyrics monitors in the stands? LOL
“our coeds are the fairest...” sounded pretty lame before
Yeah, they changed it to “Our coeds are so MANLY, they’ll kick your girly ass...”
They stopped their support of traditional male/female marriage ala Prop 8.
They dropped the efforts to defend traditional marriage.
They are in full ‘cower’ mode, as is apparent in their “Love the Queer, but reject his sex behavior.” position - and in their acceptance of Latrino Invaders.
In all fairness, the LDS ruling class is aware those Latrinos are possible members and those members are required to contribute 10% of their gross income.
PS Each member in good standing gets an income “audit” which makes IRS look like amateurs. Why? ‘Cause that 10% tithe must be calculated on gross income (before the IRS cut is taken).,
PPS As the Catholic Priestly class went astray with "Purple Priests" chasing the Alter Boys, perhaps a case can be made that LDS members need to remind their theological leadership of some basic Judao-Christian/LDS core principles. Arguably, pandering for profit to perverts and/or politicians isn't OK by the standards of Moses or Jesus. Nor is it likely Joseph Smith would have been impressed by such behavior But, what would They have known, anyway?
Well, in the interest of accuracy, the change is appropriate since their co-eds were definitely not the fairest. That title belongs to either FSU, ASU or Ole Miss.
