Just so you know...

The Notre Dame Victory March is 100 years old this year. Yes, the best-known of all University fight songs is that old. I went to the San Diego State game yesterday in South Bend and many people just don't realize there is more to the song than the simple chorus that we all know. I figured I would lay it out for everyone. Two verses precede the chorus. And they are:

Rally sons of Notre Dame,
Sing her glory, and sound her fame
Raise her Gold and Blue,
And cheer with voices true,
Rah! Rah! For Notre Dame.

We will fight in every game
Strong of heart and true to her name.
We will ne'er forget her
And we'll cheer her ever,
Loyal to Notre Dame.

Chorus:
Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send the volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky,
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching Onward to Victory.
