Ohio University's fight song is used by at least one other college and lots of high schools. In fact, many years ago the OU Marching Band was playing at a high school game between two Ohio High School Football Powers, and all three schools used the same fight song.
A few years later, I was directing a Colorado/Kansas football game, and hear the Kansas Band playing the Ohio U. Fight Song in practice. When I questioned the band director, he said that it, as well as many other well known fight songs had been written by a very prolific guy in Kansas.
"Stand Up and Cheer"
Stand up and cheer,
Cheer loud and long for old Ohio,
For today we raise,
The Green and White above the rest,
Our boys are fighting,
And the are bound to win the fray,
We've got the team,
We've got the steam,
For this is old Ohio's Day...
Repeat
Ohio University Alma Mater:
Alma Mater, Ohio,
Alma Mater brave and fair,
Alma Mater we hail thee,
For we owe thy kindly care,
Alma Mater, Ohio,
As we sing thy story ore,
We revere thee,
And Cheer Thee,
As we sing thy praise once more.
