In the third installment of remakes to Carrie Underwood songs to Zips athletics, here is my wife and I's basketball remake of Last Name. She is on vocals as well.

Maybe next time we will switch up to a different country artist and go with Miranda Lamberts "Gunpowder and Lead" for the rifle team.
Lyrics
Tonight / the dance team / and cheer squad are pumping up / the Blue & Gold crowd, baby
Tonight / the Zips are / gonna play hard
The JAR is going to be crazy
Tonight / KD is pa-cing on the sideline / and he's stompin' his feet, baby
Q drives the lane as part of his game
and dishes to Tree and his huge frame
He slams it home, and the ballgame is on
With Zeke defending the paint, this will be fun
Swatting the shots and getting the fame (Hoops!)
Rico / passes / the ball around the back / for the assist
Nic spins / baseline launch / he lays it off the glass / and runs back down, yeah, pumpin' his fist
Chauncy / in stride / strokes one from the outside
So, that puts the Zips up for good
Our pressure can't be withstood
Q drives the lane as part of his game
and dishes to Tree and his huge frame
He slams it home, and the ballgame is on
With Zeke defending the paint, this will be fun
Swatting the shots and getting the fame
Fear the Roo
Game time / a dribble / then Brett lights up-the-JAR with a trip-le
The AK / Rowdies / are so hip
Cheering for Egner and Deji (DG) as they fight to grip / that rebound
Walsh probes the zone / and flings an / alley-oop that / Har-ney throws down
Just then the crowd flips / all lips / are proudly cheering on the Zips
The Zips are layin' the smack down
Q drives the lane as part of his game
and dishes to Tree and his huge frame
He slams it home, and the ballgame is on
With Zeke defending the paint, this will be fun
Swatting the shots and getting the fame
The Zips have won
The Zips have won
The Zips have won
Oh, the Zips have won
Af-ter overtime / what a game
Well, the walkons Kyle and CJ get it done
And the red-shirt, Blake / shouts the Zips' name
Z - I - P - S! Let's go Zi - i - ips! (Hoops!)
Dudley Do-Right / through the air rings
And the kiss cam / fills the big screen
While MSU / takes a beating / Oh
With Zippy on the sideline giving a hand
Again we'll / win the MAC / Championship / in Cleveland
And then dance into the sweet sixteen
Go / Zips!
