Whoosh Cecil!

When she was at BYU, Tim's sister, Aubrey, and her friends created a cheer during basketball games called the "Whoosh Cecil."  Cecil Samuelson had recently been appointed president of BYU and had come from University of Utah, so some of the students didn't trust his loyalty at sports games. They claim he never had a smile on his face during the games and so they started cheering "Whoosh Cecil" and pointing to him after a free-throw is made. Now, almost nine years later, it is a tradition to chant and point, but  President Samuelson (or a representative for him) now gives the thumbs up back to the students every time. The creamery has also created an ice cream flavor called Whoosh Cecil! so Aubrey is practically famous! After running a race in Provo last Saturday, we decided to check it out.

Looks like you are having lots of fun in Utah - Ty especially! And I would love to try the Whoosh Cecil ice cream, but not sure I'll ever get the chance - glad you guys did!
