Re: [UC] Our Lady of the Grid Iron

In my high school, even those who didn't want to attend the pep rally 
were forced to.


And I remember one Friday afternoon, when our rival was Kennedy High 
School, and the chant was Kill Kennedy!


I've always disliked football since then - even the Eagles, which have 
nothing whatever to do with Kennedy High School.

Nice. Back at my Mennonite high school we had a similar cheer for our 
soccer team, the Bethany Braves. (We didn't do football, of course.) 
Much cruder than the polished  Quaker version, which is generally 
true for things Mennonite versus Quaker:


Rock em, sock em,
Goo Braves!
Beat their heads in,
But in a Christian manner,
Rip their guts out,
In a nonviolent way.
