Team Bogey Traditions
1. The incoming class will present the game ball at the first home football game. Make sure you wear your NSO class shirt!
2. Stick around after the game (football and basketball) and sing the school fight song with the team and the band. We do it win or lose!
3. Get crazy! Have fun at the game, but do it with respect for the opponent.
4. Learn the cheers. The game is so much more fun if we are all on the same page.
McKendree Fight Song "Our McKendree"
The McKendree fight song is played during games, and our football team sings the fight song after their game, win or lose. The words to the song are listed below. To download the mp3, please click here.
Hail to thee our dear old McKendree;
May we always loyal be.
It's a song of praise we raise to thee
Alma Mater, Dear Old M.C.
May we ever hold the true and wise and right;
Honor Purple and the White.
And for victory we'll
Always FIGHT
'Til we win for old M.C.K.

Fundraisers: Wing Thing
Now in the 6th year, Wing Thing has become a major fundraiser for Team Bogey. Wing Thing is usually held during select professional Football Games, World Series-Game 1, the Super Bowl, and the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. We show the games at the Lair on the big screens, and sell wings by the pound.
When you buy wings, you get a ticket to win great prizes. The more wings you buy, the more chances you get to win prizes. Last year, we game away video game systems and tickets to concerts. Quickly becoming a Team Bogey tradition, Wing Thing Rocks! Check the Campus Calendar for our next Wing Thing!
Fundraisers: Rally Rags and T-shirts
Buy your rally rag to help support the ‘Cats! We fill the stands with purple and wave our white rally rags to victory. We also sell t-shirts – Purple Pit shirts and others to help fund Team Bogey. Get yours today!
