Navy sings alma mater after Ohio State game, joined by the Buckeyes

Navy sings its alma mater, "Navy Blue and Gold," after Saturday's season opener. The Naval Academy always invites the opposing team to join in, and the Buckeyes did.

And example of good sportsmanship, respect for your opponent.

[@josephwingate1767]

Awesome! What a great show of sportsmanship and respect. The military academies play for a greater cause and Ohio State's Players just honored them for it! Great Job.

[@michaelarae4230]

My Buckeyes, being good sports the way we were taught!!!

[@fbatkwtjsfnsj]

Michaela Iery just a tid schmidt late but almost every team does this for Navy/Army/Air Force. The only team I know that hasn't done it was Baylor

[@atrain132]

[@shakenbake7826]

[@fballarmy35f]

[@michaelarae4230]

[@byronking9573]

NAVY BLUE & GOLD Now colleges from sea to sea May sing of colors true, But who has better right than we To hoist a symbol hue: For sailors brave in battle fair Since fighting days of old, Have proved the sailor’s right to wear The Navy Blue & Gold. So hoist our colors, hoist them high, And vow allegiance true, So long as sunset gilds the sky Above the ocean blue, Unlowered shall those colors be Whatever fate they meet, So glorious in victory, Triumphant in defeat. Four years together by the Bay, Where Severn joins the tide, Then by the Service called away, We’re scattered far and wide; But still when two or three shall meet, And old tales be retold, From low to highest in the Fleet, We’ll pledge the Blue and Gold.

+HoosierRallyMaster BEAT ARMY

[@mrreporter1696]

Who put thumbs down? NAVY guys, Future Pro's at probably something other than the NFL!

[@t.mitchell9135]

Probably Army people.

[@terragthegreat175]

Damn so even when they're actively against another opponent they still yell 'beat army'. That's one hell of a rivalry

[@1gallimaufry]

Every game, and I mean EVERY GAME the Buckeyes play at home, you can hear every student sing " I don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan" exiting the south stands. Believe me when I say, beating that team up north does not mean everything, IT IS EVERYTHING!

[@nicholasbenge9497]

A rivalry that predates the United States, to the Revolution. From the second the Midshipmen enter Annapolis to the day they get lowered into the grave, they eat, sleep, and breathe Beat Army.

[@johnmorales6281]

You might not see this comment.. But if you look up West Point Graduation... You will hear the super intendant at the end of the ceremony say "dismiss the class of 2019 Go Army Beat Navy" at a graduation lol

[@alhetmooie]

Beautiful!

[@elstuts]

This is what college football should personify.

[@djrak9]

BRAVO!

[@wayneb4]

Outstanding!!🇺🇲

[@jtclaf]

pretty damn nice, next time Ohio State, Go MIDS

[@denniswhite166]

GO NAVY ⚓ BEAT ARMY

[@bobnagel6449]

An unexpected show of good sportsmanship by Ohio State.

[@JMAN97712]

Unexpected lol. You clearly don’t know these players and the inside of the facility and what’s taught. Don’t get fans and players mixed up.

[@_________.]

Expected

[@rockinruebel1]

Love this, repect.

[@LMTDDS]

I remember that game, opening game I believe for OSU and they barely beat Navy.

[@urbanmeyer9725]

Keep it classy

[@skyrushyesminderaserno1150]

Merica

[@fballarmy35f]

None of them knew the words

[@treebeardtheent2200]

That's because they ruined it by changing the words to the new politically correct version. Before that, midshipmen were proud to learn it and sing it.

[@johnkrebs3198]

Ohio State players much bigger. It must have been really one sided.

[@nicholasbenge9497]

Because all of the Midshipmen must meet Navy/Marine standards of physical fitness (so some of the linesmen will have to drop weight after school before shipping out to the fleet by a significant margin). For example, a 6'3" 300lbs OL player will have to drop to 216 lbs before being allowed to join their units, to comply with Navy standards. For Midshipmen who commission as Marines, its even more.

[@sydIRISH]

Notre Dame did it FIRST!!!!

[@KingAusarII]

All the service academies do it to each other, SO...

[@RfMsC55]

sydIRISH You do realize that Notre Dame got quite a few of their traditions from the Naval Academy right?

[@treebeardtheent2200]

Not like it used to be. Political correctness over manly fighting spirit has ruined one of the greatest traditions of all time.

[@denniswhite166]

Don't let it bother you. Ignore the idiots.
