A lot of effect, I think. It seems that the O Zone is a bit reluctant to join the cheerleaders in every chant since they aren't next to each other. It just takes a lot more leading by example from the veteran O Zone leaders.

What would have been awesome, what would have been AWESOME would be if we could have quickly taught them the scoreboard chant.


They picked it up. Some of them were doing it with gusto.

I loved that so much last night. I hope, pray, and exhort the O Zone to incorporate what happened last night. It was awesome.

Moving the cheerleaders has hurt (and not having the band hurt too) and there's a leadership vacuum in the O Zone right now. People need to step up. They were better last night than Sunday, though.

We have Rufus to thank for the Brazilians in the OZone. They were sitting in one of the upper sections in the rafters when Rufus went up to visit them. They started chanting and singing, and Rufus herded them right down into the middle of the OZone. It was great.

as crooned by Mr. Frank Sinatra: The Coffee Song

Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

You can't get cherry soda
'cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil

No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
'cause the planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"

a politician's daughter
Was accused of drinkin' water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

[instrumental break]

You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil

And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil

No tea, no tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"

So you'll add to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee
An awful lot of coffee
Man, they got a gang of coffee in Brazil!!
