Watch: Notre Dame freshmen butcher fight song

Be honest: do you know all the words?

It’s the most iconic fight song in all of college sports that most recognize after hearing the first couple of bars.

But what about the words?

Junior defensive back Litchfield Ajavon took fans behind the scenes a bit as he recently asked Notre Dame freshmen enrollees to sing the words to the Victory March and it went even more horribly than you would probably expect.

Take a look at the video below that includes an appearance from a certain former Notre Dame quarterback turned Notre Dame assistant coach:

There are some (cough, my sister, cough) that will get more upset that players don’t know the words to the fight song than they got when Notre Dame was blitzed by Michigan in 2019.

Would it be cool if every player knew the words perfectly before they stepped foot on campus?  Sure, but if they don’t it’s going to take a lot of convincing for me to think that has any real impact on if the Irish go 12-0 this regular season or if they go 3-9.
