    When the Linfield Pep Band at Wildcat football games plays the Linfield Fight Song, what do you think? Well (if you even know it is the Linfield Fight Song), you will think the band is playing On Wisconsin.

    That’s understandable. The tune is On Wisconsin, official state of Wisconsin song and fight song of the University of Wisconsin Badgers.

    See below for lyrics to Linfield Fight Song and On Wisconsin.

    OK, if you agree Linfield Fight Song/On with Linfield/Really On Wisconsin is not appropriate as the college’s fight song, what should replace it? Here are three suggestions:

    Go Get ‘em, Wildcats Listen to Linfield Choir Medley which includes Go Get ‘em, Wildcats.

    Wildcat VictoryListen to the fight song of Kansas State University, home of the Wildcats.
    Tsunami SirenListen to part of blast as heard from a Maui Civil Defense siren.

    Wildcat Fight Song

    On with Linfield, On with Linfield
    Fight right through that line

    Take the ball right down the field
    A touchdown’s sure this time
    RAH, RAH, RAH!

    On with Linfield, On with Linfield
    Fight on for your fame
    Fight Wildcats, fight, fight, fight!
    To win this game!



    On Wisconsin
    Listen

    On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin
    Plunge right through that line

    Run the ball clear down the field, boys
    Touchdown sure this time

    On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin
    Fight on for her fame
    Fight Fellows, Fight, Fight, Fight
    We'll win this game!
