For those familiar with the old Houston Oilers song, I have never noticed during a Miami Dolphins game that they are using the song except saying Miami Dolphins instead of Houston Oilers.

Has Miami used this before?

They've used it a long time.

Thanks for the info. Never heard it before, but never really pay attention to Miami

They just beat the Patriots in the last 2 seconds with an interception in the end zone and former Aggie Ryan Tannehill was instrumental in that win with 312 yards passing. You should pay attention.

Dolphins have been using that song since the '70's

Howard Cosell said the Oilers owned it first.

FYI. Tannehill is still an Aggie.

The dolphins were using the song in the late 70s but was used by Oilers first. Who cares now.

I've heard both side claim to have had it first. I remember the Oilers playing in Miami once around 91 or so, and Miami kept playing the song so much the commentators spent about 5 minutesof debating who had it first. They couldn't decide either.

I think the Cowboys also used it once too.

Does the Miami version say they're the best in the Lone Star State?

Basically, a guy wrote the song, then solicited it to all of the NFL teams. The Oilers adopted it pretty publically, but Miami has also used it consistently.

From what I have now read at other sites. The original author/writer of the song was a Miami Dolphins fan and he went to them first with the song.

He approached a few other teams to use it but most of the other teams wrote their on version of the song to his music and small legal battles about it.

Houston was after Miami in using the song. Miami was supposedly first.
