Near the end of the Oregon game, after the TD I heard the Auburn band play the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The original music from an older song was used with new abolitionist lyrics and used as a rallying and marching song by the Union Army in the Civil War. VERY surprised a Southern school would use that song.
