There may come a day when the Gophers falter before the might of Ohio State,
when our courage wavers and our dreams fall silent beneath the roar of the Horseshoe.
But it is not this day!
This day, we stood tall in the heart of enemy ground!
This day, maroon and gold shone brighter than the scarlet and gray!
Their cheers faded, their pride broken, their fortress shaken!
It was not talent alone that brought victory,
nor luck, nor chance.
It was heart!
It was grit!
It was the spirit of Minnesota,
that will not yield,
that will not bow,
that fights for every yard until the final whistle!
So raise your voices, O Gophers faithful!
Let them echo through this scarlet sea!
Sing of this day when the mighty Buckeyes fell in their own house!
When the North remembered!
When the cold wind from the lakes swept through Columbus,
and all shall know,
This is Gopher Country!
And this day, this glorious day, belongs to us!
Let your Ski-U-Mah ring clear and loud!
