That 's absolutely right. The video played OSU 's alma mater not it's fight song, "Across the Field", which was its fight song in 1929. My graduated from its dental school in 1953, 24yrs. later.
So fun fact: The use of "Spanish Chant" as an alma mater was first done by a high school in my area prior to Ohio State using it. The lyrics are even similar!
Interesting how little has changed in 95 years. The Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue, and Michigan songs remain exactly as in this recording. Chicago is no longer part of the Big 10, but they still use the same song. They inexplicably played an up-tempo version of Ohio State's alma mater instead of their two main fight songs, both of which were written before 1929. For Illinois, they included Illinois Loyalty, which has been used for over a century along with Oskee Wow Wow, the latter of which is now Illinois' main fight song. For Iowa, they played the Iowa Corn Song, which was never a real fight song, but was included on many fight-song anthologies until the 1960s.
Well at least they played a song recognized by the university, "The Iowa Corn Song" was never an official song of the Hawkeyes, it just got used by other Big Ten bands until the Iowa Fight Song was written.
Great find. Interesting, the Chicago fight song was a "second" song for my high school's rival. Their fight song was original as it was composed by their first band director. But much like Purdue has "Fighting Varsity" and "The Honor of old Purdue," they adapted words to UC's melody. My high school's band director back in the 30's also composed our fight song, but he also adapted words to Minnesota's as well as OSUs fight song, "Across the Field." The OSU song you played here is a hymn that we often sing at my Catholic Church (which has nothing to do with OSU) here in Northwest Indiana. (Come Christians Join to Sing: ua-cam.com/video/LdP5gkF1EBE/v-deo.html) I have to wonder how many high schools purloined B10 fight songs to their own words?
MSU joined the Big Ten in 1955 so they were not in this recording. They effectively replaced Chicago, though I think it took about a decade for the Big Ten to approve them. I don't know what the hold-up was.
"Despite opposition from the University of Michigan, the Big Ten admitted M.S.C. (Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science, now MSU) on May 20, 1949."
@@padraicfanning7055 Same thing happened here in AZ with my Arizona State College at Tempe. Big bruh in Tucson did NOT want a superior college separating and put up a big stink.... but here we are....The Arizona State University and uArizona... no seriously, that is what they call themselves now... uArizona...LOLOLOL!!!!
Bro why did they play Carmen Ohio (OSU’s Alma Matre) for the fight song. Also of course they played Xighigan’s fight song right after the better school.
Simple, while the Buckeye battle cry was written in 1919, it didn’t take hold as the “fight song” until the mid 30s, after this recording was made. Like many of the schools at the time the Alma Mater, was used as the school song so they used that in the recording because it was more popular. As for Michigan (you’re a big boy, you don’t have to treat it like Voldemort), The Victors was written in 1898 and had been adopted well before the recording was made. As for your claim as to Ohio state being the better school, academically, athletically, and musically you are mistaken both then and in the modern era
I've officially heard my High school, College, and Middle School songs all in one video
Which ones
Same! Wisconsin, OSU, Purdue.

Honestly I wish we still had Chicago. They were a huge rival of Michigan and an elite program.
Loved this! 😊👍
I know it's unpopular but I love this version of the Iowa corn song!
Great video...creepy but great
Even Michigan Wolverines & Ohio State Buckeyes rivalry is popular in the 1920's.
It was as natural of a rivalry as you could get. Stems back to the Toledo War
This is really cool
The song being played during the Ohio State clip is the alma mater, "carmen ohio" not the fight song (fight the team across the field)
Ohio State actually has two fight songs - "Fight the Team" and "Buckeye Battle Cry"
Well at least they played a song recognized by the university, "The Iowa Corn Song" was never an official song of the Hawkeyes, it just got used by other Big Ten bands until the Iowa Fight Song was written.
Back when men were men and even football was a formal sffair

Boiler Up

Love this
Was Michigan State in the Big Ten then? Didn't hear its fight song...did they replace Chicago?
MSU joined the Big Ten in 1955 so they were not in this recording. They effectively replaced Chicago, though I think it took about a decade for the Big Ten to approve them. I don't know what the hold-up was.
Yes, Michigan State replaced U. of Chicago.

Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!
0:08 Miami of Ohio fight song
And South Dakota State
TN bid to say wow
What song is illinois
What iowa song are they playing here?
It's called the Iowa Corn Song (lol). I think it may have been the original Iowa fight song? I'm not sure.
Austin Marcotte Had no idea it even existed, seems like it had to have been the original one until On Iowa became popular. Thanks!

Back when Michigan could beat Ohio State
Michigan will beat Ohio State the next 5 years.
@@villanovakid84 That would require Michigan to play Ohio State
