Good point Davemeister.
What about that fourth line, that thing about crowning brows with flowers sweet? I don't know how Dr. Poteat came up with that, or what those dang kids were up to back in 1907, but that just sounds naughty.
The second stanza is, well, "problematic" as the youngsters are fond of saying. Here it is:
And 'neath her shade they rest secure,
And drink from wisdom's fountain pure,
Then rally, sons and daughters true,
'Round our dear Alma Mater.
Patriarchal, anyone? Certainly, in an offensive matriarchal way. Cisgender centric? I sure think so.
We got to get this thing straightened out so we can win some football games.

Didn't think the UFFP would have me back, perhaps. Well, maybe I'm not "the norm". I don't "wear clothes that fit me". I'm not "hygienic" and "pop my white heads with a compass I used in high school".
