The Minnesota State Rouser, also known as The Maverick Rouser is the fight song of the Minnesota State University, Mankato.
It is played at all Minnesota State Mavericks athletics games, rallies and at many alumni events.
[2] The Minnesota State Rouser was written as a revised version of the original song "Mankato Rouser" that was written by Kenneth Pinckney in 1948.
The tune references the latest school mascot adopted in 1977, the Maverick, a wild unbranded male steer bull and was written as a result of the winning suggestion by then Professor of Education Roy Cook.
You'll conquer our foes all you Mav'ricks brave and bold.
