Alright everyone, please be nice to me...:hide:
I am a second year student here and I would like to know the words to Hail the Bison. I have heard parts of it in the past but yesterday when I was standing in line for tickets, I head some students singing parts I have never heard.

Thanks!!

Far across the plains of Fargo there for all to see
Stands an old abandoned out house call it University
Hail the Bison, Hail The Bison with their tails up in the air
University University you can kiss whats under there.

There is one other dity but I will have to PM it. LOL

The dirty part is actually sung after the first part of Hail The Bison. PL

I may be wrong, as I've never actually gone to school at NDSU, but what I heard is that:

On the plains of North Dakota
Standing there for all to see,
Is an old abandoned outhouse
And they call it UND

Hail the Bison, Hail the Bison
With their tails up in the air
University, University
You can kiss what's under there!

I could be wrong...

Nope, that was the one I was looking for, thanks!!

Wouldn't it be cool if we could get the entire student section singing this?

This is the one I learned when I was a student at NDSU. It is also the one I have taught my children (as well as some non-UND fans!)

PL has the original...it was basically changed. When the change happened is lost in legend. Only Lakes knows, since he coined both versions.

And why would the students want to sing a song acknowledging a former opponent that is not played in football. Or will not be played for at least another 4 years.

We declared over the weekend, NDSU will play the other school first when hockey, then the other sports can follow. And since there will be no hockey at NDSU, the issued is solved :)

Slightly different version that I remember:

On the plains of North Dakota
Standing there for all to see,
Lies an old abandoned outhouse
That they call the University

Hail the Bison, Hail the Bison
With their tails up in the air
University, University
Sioux can kiss what's under there!

I may have learned it wrong but this was how I sang it.

On the bus trip to the inaugural Dakota Marker game we tried to change it up a little...- it went something like this:

On the plains of South Dakota
Standing there for all to see
Lies an old abandoned outhouse
Think I'll stop and take a pee

Hail the Bison, Hail the Bison
With their tails up in the air
University, University
Jacks can kiss what's under there!

Bison once! Bison twice! - holy jumpin' jahosafice!
ahhhh....radio edit :) spit-tobacco chew
We're the mighty Bison who the @#$% are you!

/loved singing this at the Turf
