Hail to Georgia (with verse 2)

FS #156; FSV 145.
By some accounts online, I have seen that due to popular belief, "Glory to Georgia" is the main/official fight song-IN REALITY, IT'S NOT. (If you are from the Georgia Redcoat Band ask the band director about the fate of the fight songs and let me know what (s)he says about this.) Though it is played the least often, the song predates "Glory" and is usually, until recently played after the PAT is kicked. I do not know if this song is played in basketball and other sports events, including the famed women's gymnastics' "Gym Dawgs."
If anyone has heard of the song before, some of you will be surprised that there is another verse to "Hail to Georgia." Admittedly, since there is not an extended file for this song anywhere online, I did use the same one to accompany the lyrics of verse two; it does sound good, eh?
If you ask me, if I ever do attend a game or take classes in Athens' university, I would prefer this one because it describes a lot about the university's devotion to winning and its beauty.
What is your stand? Do say so in a clean way.
Remember, do not infringe on my videos-I do check YT and Metacafe often.
Thanks for viewing, though!

UGA's website has Glory as their fight song...

@1mizzoufan I had seen, but I had seen on Wikipedia and from two other sources that "Glory" is a rally song. I had heard also that the university treats them equally-though I said official in the description, I hope to hear what the Redcoat Marching Band members have to say, or see the UGA websites after I post this to indicate which one is the official. (example: Stanford finally indicates on their websites that it's "Come Join the Band", not "All Right Now" after I posted my vid.)

hail was the original song...but nobody knows that cuz glory is always played

Yeah, Down the Field is Tenn's official fight song.

@1mizzoufan

Yeah. Officially it's this. I'm in the Redcoat Band, so I don't know if there's much closer of a source out there. It's kind of like Tennessee. They play Rocky Top out the ass but officially that's not their fight song.

@excelsior27 I am a Redcoat, Glory is our official fight song. Hail is used as a cheer. We play the last line "all Hail to dear old U-G-A" as an offensive cheer and the full song in the "Bulldog March Medley" after a PAT.

I love the Glory to Hail Tag after Touchdowns, you guys tore it up. Hands down, Redcoats best marching band in the land. That's a bit of biased remark.

[someboringperson]

As a former member of the Redcoat band, I can tell you that Glory is treated more like a fight song than Hail, i.e. we play it after touchdowns, when the team comes out, etc. During games, "Hail to Georgia" is usually played after field goals, and sometimes after the extra point on a touchdown. It is almost always played as part of the "Bulldog March Medley", which includes two other cheers and concludes with Glory. Very few students even know the words to "Hail to Georgia."

@mYththePoet Ok.

I just wish Universities would actually state their official fight song and maybe actually have it playable on their websites...

[mYththePoet]

@1mizzoufan This is actually our fight song people never realize that, Glory started as a song that was played when the Nation scored a touchdown, but its evolved certainly

[1mizzoufan]

Ok...I get what you are saying.

Mizzou seems to have a similar issue. I think the official Fight song for the Tigers is "Fight Tiger" but "Every True Son" is the only one played at baseball games anymore.
