UMass Fight Song

I was having difficulty finding an audio version to post, so here are just the lyrics.

FIGHT MASS
 
Fight, fight Massachusetts, Fight, fight every play, Fight, fight for a touchdown, Fight all your might today.

Fight down the field Massachusetts, The stars and the stripes will gleam, Fight, Fight for old Bay State, Fight for the team, team, team.

UMass Prediction

Last year I refused to predict against Delaware St. because they were a bad FCS team and should never have been scheduled.  UMass is a good FCS team and should never have been scheduled, but here goes anyhow...
