The girls immediatley got into the game, cheering and screaming like cheerleaders. I, however, was having a hard time trying to figure out which team to cheer for. I thought I would be all for Duke, but watching the Carolina-blue players bulldoze their way into the endzone for a touchdown stirred up more Tar Heel patriotism than I've felt in the past five years. Do I cheer for the school that gave my husband such a fine education? Do I cheer for the school whose hospital delivered my baby?
Or do I cheer for the school that gives my husband his paychecks, pays for my children's clothing and buys our food?
Then as I listened to Sophie screaming and cheering next to me I knew she knew the right team to cheer for. She had her head screwed on staight. She had been well-indoctrinated in her home by her father. Sophie, with all the energy her little heart could muster was screaming the words, "GO BYU!!!!"
Hilarious! That is quite a quandry. Jeff still has a hard time cheering for Duke over NC State. I will say that Duke football games are outrageously boring and I'd have a hard time cheering for them in football.
