Columbia University has reversed field on its marching band.

The school will allow its band to play at Saturday’s final football game after saying it wouldn’t due to a song mocking its winless team.

“The band is grateful to have been told this evening that the athletic department will allow us to attend the football game this Saturday against Brown,” the marching band said in a statement, according to the Columbia Spectator, the university’s student newspaper, ESPN.com reports.

“We look forward to honoring the senior class — both on the football team and in the band — and cheering the Columbia Lions on to victory.”

After a 62-41 loss to Cornell last Saturday, which put Columbia at 0-9, the band changed the words to the winless team’s 100-year-old fight song to a string of insulting phrases, including “Why are we even trying?”

“We always lose, lose, lose,” began the parody of the “Roar, Lion, Roar” fight song. It ended: “But we take solace in our booze.”
