Notre Dame Band/Team & Alma Mater

On 11/3/07, after Navy won its first game against Notre Dame since 1963, the entire Fighting Irish team stood before the Midshipmen present, and showed its class, sportsmanship and respect for Navy! A truly memorable moment in sports! Then Navy returned the respect, standing before the Notre Dame student body with the Notre Dame team!

I hate to be the break the bad news, but the Notre Dame players are singing to the student body and alumni for their support and not Navy. And as someone already mentioned, they do this every game regardless of the outcome. I have been to many college games and there is no place as electric as Notre Dame and that's coming from an ex-Navy Officer

It's all about respect...and the tradition at ND is to "salute" any service academy team they play, for the obvious reasons, regardless of the game's outcome.

You, as a former Navy Officer, are obviously aware that there's much more to life than football games. If this tradition teaches that to the student body and to everyone in the stadium, that's good news.

They salute you, as well; I salute you, too.

Win with respect, lose with dignity. Good respect from both programs.

Fight ON USC TROJANS!!!

@greymoose1000 TRUE THAT MY "TROJAN" BRO! Just as the incestuous *ubarn (AL) family on Wire Road are also the worst at exhibiting class! But what more do you expect considering *ubarn (AL) University is the biggest redneck college in America!

FIGHT ON, BABY!

ND is anything but classy. The worst in exhibiting class!

The ND Faithful: "Sorry, Mom . . . we lost again." We are ND.

Navy + Notre Dame = Class acts in college football. Notre Dame always pays tribute to the service academies when they play football, and the academies honor ND as always. You don't see that gesture with Stanford (thanks to their marching band) or USC. Go Navy, Go Army, Go Irish!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big time Irish fan and I thought that loss sucked, but if you're gonna lose to someone, I'd rather see the Irish lose to a group of heroes like this than a pack of showboat ncaa violating jerks like SC!
