MSU Alma Mater

MSU, we love thy shadows when twilight silence falls. Flushing deep and softly paling o’er ivy covered halls. Beneath the pines we’ll gather to give our faith so true. Sing our love for Alma Mater and thy praises, MSU.

When from these scenes we wander and twilight shadows fade, our mem’ry still will linger where light and shadows played. In the evening oft we’ll gather and pledge our faith anew. Sing our love for Alma Mater and thy praises, MSU.

Spartan Fight Song

On the banks of the Red Cedar, there's a school that's known to all. Its specialty is winning, and those Spartans play good ball. Spartan teams are never beaten, all through the game they'll fight. Fight for the only colors, Green and White. 

Go right through for MSU, watch the points keep growing. Spartan teams are bound to win, they're fighting with a vim. Rah! Rah! Rah! See their team is weakening, we're going to win this game. Fight! Fight! Rah! Team, Fight! Victory for MSU.
