Nathan's family has an elaborate cheer. I'm not sure why they have it, or when they use it, but it's fun! Every great team has a cheer or slogan to built pride and help everyone feel united. Tonight we were yelling in our huddle (in preparation for the after dinner clean-up,) when John came toddling over with his hand out - he wanted to be in the group, too. We did the cheer again with John's little hand on ours. He even bobbed his little body up and down with us. Oh man, he is great! Here is the cheer, in case your family needs one:
2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a dollar.
All the (your family name here)'s
stand up and holler:
Give a yell, Give a yell,
Give a yell--I--L--I--L.
And when I yell I really yell
and this is what I yell:
L--M--N, L--M--N,
L-M-N-diego, San Diego
Hocus, Pocus,
try and choke us,
Ma, Pa, sisk-boom-bah
Gooooooo (family name)'s
RA--RA--RA!
(Did I forget anything, Nathan?)

Wonderful! It's one of those things that will really shape your kids. they'll remember it for life, and they'll teach it to their own.
Enjoy!
We had a similar cheer during our college hockey games. It had a few extra lines with a few modifications:
Give a yell, Give a yell,
Give a big substantial yell.
And when we yell, we yell like hell
and this is what the hell we yell:
L--M--N, L--M--N,
L-M-N-diego, San Diego
Baby in a high chair

Hocus, Pocus,
try and choke us,
Ma, Pa, sisk-boom-bah
