Sing it Out: A Challenge to the Fans

Every home football game at Delaware Stadium has the band play the same three songs (plus the other non-sense in there too): The National Anthem, The Fight Song, & The Alma Mater.  I personally like to sing the Star-Spangled Banner as the band plays, and everyone claps for the Fight Song, but no one is taking advantage of the greatest line in the Alma Mater.

This is my challenge to every Blue Hen in attendance at UD Football games this season: when the time comes at the end of the Alma Mater, I want you to scream that last line out with everyone else...

Alma Mater

"...We lift our voices now to sing
All hail to Delaware!"


I never liked the idea of a blog.  To me, it was always just someone who wanted a place to share their opinion and hope that someone out there cares enough to read what they type up from the comfort of their homes.  Then I met a friend who writes a sports blog (and get's paid for it).  The blog he writes and the other blogs on the main site turned out to be 100% legit.  Maybe their opinions aren't in line with my views, but the news features on these pages were impressive, creating a "best of the web" for their team with a little fan-dom mixed in.  However, there's one major flaw in this blog-o-sphere: no one is representing the Hens. I will.
