<p>rj – Actually, I made MY point, which is that among sports fans, the ones who don’t spend time at Big Ten football games, or watching Big Ten football on TV (and that includes a lot of the rest of the country who couldn’t care less about Big Ten football) have no idea what Michigan’s fight song is. Obviously, it may seem to those who are watching, who hear the fight song over and over (I assume, since with all the time outs, something has to take place to keep the fans’ attention), that everyone knows the Michigan fight song. However, Big Ten football is not the be all and end all to the rest of the country, though – just as ACC basketball may not be to everyone else.</p>
<p>Actually, the reason I can’t hum any other fight songs isn’t because they’re bad (although Duke’s may be :)). It’s because, as I said before, we basketball fans don’t have time to sit and listen to music during games. We’re busy during timeouts listening to the knowledgeable color analyst on the radio or discussing strategy.</p>
<p>So, OP, if sports are that important to you in choosing a college, the lesson is this: UNC for basketball; Michigan for football. I can’t comment on BC, but at least they are in the ACC!</p>
