Another set of song titles

With the ending of a magical football season I will describe each game with a song. (I am sorry if some of these are overused.)

Western Michigan: For a lightning shortened game that started the comeback seasons we have "Lightning Crashes" by Pearl Jam,
 
"Oh I feel it coming back again
like a rolling thunder chasing the wind
forces pulling from the center of the Earth again
I can feel it."

Notre Dame: For our only home night game ever, and an instant cardiac classic we have "Oh What a Night" by The Four Seasons. 

"Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right.
What a lady, What a night."

Eastern Michigan: for handing a quality Eastern Michigan team (weird to say it) yet another loss we have "It's all Been Done" by the Barnaked Ladies.

"Woo hoo hoo, It's all been done before."

San Diego State: for knocking down a team after taking their coach but having no hard feelings we have "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis

"So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late and we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger
I heard you say"

Minnesota: for the most on-sided victory I have ever seen in a football game (58-0) we have "Don't stop Me Now" by Queen.

"I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me"

Northwestern: for forcing us to come from behind and never look back we have "I Won't Back Down," by Tom Petty.

"hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out.
Hey, I will stand my ground, and I won't back down."

Michigan State: for ending the high and bringing us down to reality we have "Hammer to Fall" by Queen.


"Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the western way, baby
Build your muscles as your body decays
Yeah, toe your line and play their game
Yeah, let the anesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall"

Purdue: for playing though the ran and showing all of us that our shoes squeak when we slide them on wet aluminum we have "Twist and Shout" by Phil Medley and Bert Russell

"Well, shake it up, baby, now,
Twist and shout.
Cmon cmon, cmon, cmon, baby, now,
Come on and work it on out"

Iowa: for humanizing us on the road and knocking us out of conference title contention (ironically, giving us an easier shot at the BCS) we have "Get What You need," by the Rolling Stones.

"You can't always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes, you just might find,
you get what you need." 

Illinois: for grinding it out and preventing a season ending skid (while contributing to Illinois's skid) we have "tubthumping" by Chumbawamba

"I get knocked down, but I get up again.
You ain't never gonna keep me down. 
I get knocked down, but I get up again.
You ain't never gonna keep me down."

Nebraska: For allowing our biggest win in five years by smoking the team that everyon thought ws going to blow through the conference I give you "Rocketman" by Elton John.

"And I think its going to be a long, long time.
The touchdown brings me round again to find.
I'm not the man you think I am at all.
No no no no, I'm the rocketman..."

Ohio State: For following though on what we have been hoping for (but dared not discuss) since everything changed in the beginning of the year that resulted in a BCS birth and a field storming we have "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond

"Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along...
Good times never seemed so good
I'm inclined, to believe they never would..."

Virginia Tech: for giving us our first Sugar Bowl win ever and allowing us to simply enjoy the moment we have "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies

"Sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you."
