WSU Fight Song
We are the Wildcats, scratching, snarling,
We’re gonna win this game.
Upward and onward fighting Wildcats,
With pride and honor, on to fame,
And we’ll never quit till we have won,
So purple and white reign, ‘cause
We will growl, snarl, and show how we rate:
For we are…Weber State, Weber State,
Great! Great! Great!
Weber State, Weber State,
Great! Great! Great!
Weber State, Weber State,
Great! Great! Great!
