March Madness

Well, as I sit in a surreal world where Duke lost in the first round loss to Mercer, I have mixed emotions.  I vacillate between denial and anger.  There is, however, one thing that brings a smile to my face.  As we were watching this morning during breakfast (the game came on live at 1:15am Japan time so I DVR'd it), the kids were attempting to rally Duke with some cheers.  Leah, using a blue and white pom pom that I actually got from a Lightning playoff game back in the day when they played at the Thunderdome (yes, that's pre-Tropicana Field), sang a cheer she learned last year during cheerleading:

Go, go get them Blue
Go, go get them White
Go, go get them Blue White!

The best, however, was Aaron's cheer.  Carrying a blue foam Blue Devils pitchfork, he made up his own cheer:

Give me a "D"
Give me a "U"
Give me a "K"
Give me a "silent E"

Now that is a very detailed cheer!  I just wish it had helped.
