Not much WE or some webmaster can do about that. But we can fix public errors

The fallacy of relative privation, or appeal to bigger problems, is an informal fallacy in which it is suggested an opponent's arguments should be dismissed or ignored, on the grounds of there existing more important problems, despite these issues being often completely unrelated to the subject at hand

Very true. I guess of we aren't multi-tasking and have to work on one thing. Winning would get my vote. :P

Yes, I am dismissive as I don't see this to be a problem. I'm just not that invested in lyrics on a website. Don't mean to say that it shouldn't be fixed, but just not an issue I'm concerned with. To each his/her own.

In my opinion I can be more of an impact pointing out incorrect lyrics to the people involved with web pages than anyone on here could trying to tell the coaches how to do their jobs.

Pony Battle Cry words from Page 8 of the October 9, 1963 edition of The SMU Campus newspaper.

http://digitalcollections.smu.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/stud/id/2607/rec/4

Hail to the Red and the Blue
We're Mustangs from SMU;
Give a cheer, show your might,
Get the Victory in sight,
For our Battle Cry will be
Fight - Fight - Fight!
Spirits the best in the land,
And right to the end we'll stand
for the M-U-S-T-A-N-G-S
Fight - Fight - Fight!

Great karma for Sunday...that Daily Campus issue was part of the lead up for the shocking Navy upset by the Ponies.

I'm questioning how you ever noticed incorrect lyrics on that page with so many hot coeds to stare at...
