Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It means that, too.
That makes no sense. I vote against that.

All the alma mater talk earwormed me on that somehow, but it's not a bad earworm to have.

That's one of my favorite Steely Dan songs! It's one my Sam and Dean playlist.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
According to wikipedia, the alma mater = school song is primarily american, and because many of the songs contained the words "alma mater"/

Art Crawl!!!
I googled and realized that I actually knew the first two lines of Illinois' fight song (the original one):
We're loyal to you, Illinois
We're Orange and Blue, Illinois
(What the heck does that mean?)
The rest (from wikipedia):
We'll back you to stand
Gainst the best in the land,
For we know you have sand, Illinois,
Rah! Rah!
So crack out that ball Illinois,
We're backing you all Illinois;
Our team is our fame protector,
On! boys, for we expect a vict'ry from you Illinois!
Che-he! Che-ha! Che-ha-ha-ha!
Go Illini go!
Che-he! Che-ha! Che-ha-ha-ha!
Go Illini go!
Illinois! Illinois! Illinois!
Fling out that dear old flag of Orange and Blue,
Lead on your sons and daughters, fighting for you;
Like men of old, on giants placing reliance, shouting defiance
Oskee wow-wow!
Amid the broad green plains that nourish our land,
For honest Labor and for Learning we stand,
And unto thee we pledge our heart and hand,
Dear Alma Mater Illinois.
And it is so long that they wrote another shorter one called, "Oskee Wow-Wow" - which I didn't know at all. Possibly because I never went to a game. You can see the lyrics here.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Okay, so I feel better about it, and also I'm going to forget it shortly.
I'm having a freakout because the trackpad on my Macbook just stopped working. The mouse pointer only wants to be in one place. It was doing so well! Okay, it needs to be constantly plugged into power, and there are some bright spots on the display, but it was workable.
Now, not workable. Unless I find space for an external mouse. Which bugs.
eta: OH GOOD. It was nothing.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Late to the discussion, but I swear by Gardenburger's tomato basil veggie burgers.
