Saturday was a long day for the Old Dominion football team, which had one of its best workouts of the season in the morning, lifted weights and held team meetings in the afternoon and then spent an hour Saturday night at a "Spirit Rally" for ODU's freshman and returning sophomores.
Several thousand ODU students were in the stands at S.B. Ballard Stadium to learn the ODU fight song and alma mater, how to dance to "Ice Cream and Cake," (a Monarch tradition that dates back nearly two decades) as well as other school traditions.
