Yeah but it was really cool when they synced up the boxer’s punches with the ending of FOH.

My all-time favorite sports song. Sadly, Occidental College, my alma mater, dropped football a few years ago.

Sam Spence. I loved how on Spongebob, they used the NFL Films music for the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy episodes.

My favorite. I wish the SEC had bought the rights to it when they left CBS.

The best sports theme song was one used by The Cincinnati Reds’ Radio Network in the early 50s.

It was J. P. Sousa’s El Capitan March.

8 notes and you knew it was time for the ball game.
