Informant Info: Rivers Cahee -19, born and raised in Lafayette, La. Current Freshmen on the Dartmouth Football team

Type of Lore: Verbal

Language: English

Country of Origin: United States

Social/Cultural Context: One saying that you’ll often hear while around the football team is “It’s a great day to have a great day!” or slight variations of this quote. It’s meant to be a motivational saying, mostly used on early mornings lifts or at the begining of a practice to try and get everyone pumped up and ready to go, when they might not necessarily be feeling very well.

Collector’s Comments: This is an interesting form of verbal lore that we did not see much of in any of the other teams.
