    I've been lamenting the acceleration disease for nigh on two decades. I've ceased fighting it; the tide is inexorable. At this point I'm more interested in discovering a cause for it.

    A movie is not about what it's about; it's about how it's about it.

    When they have the ball, a simple "Hold that line" cheer works well.

    When they're kicking, yell "Block that kick."

    Also, if you're going to pass out cheer sheets, pass out the words to "Blue and White," "Fight Blue Devils" and "Dear Old Duke." My 78 year old mother sings all of the words to those songs when the band plays them. She learned them as a freshman in 1952. It would be fun to have others around us singing along with us.

    You are so right! Successful football cheers are more about volume and clear, short messages well timed than they are about cleverness soon forgotten.

    I, too, sing the words having first learned them at home. If together we could belt out those songs (the real words, not the recent ones related to body functions) loudly and clearly in Wallace Wade Stadium, the strength projected would bring chills and goosebumps! We Are Duke would take on new meaning!

    Fumble play! Fumble play! We want a fumble play!

    Up the field Big Blue, up the field!
    When I was a kid in the 70's, "fumble play" was one of my favorite cheers. My dad took the the sarcastic route with "up the field" and instead went with "up the middle, McGee!"

    Apparently that was the preferred method of moving the ball in those days.
    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
