Cheerleader's School Spirit not Broken

I, of course, was watching the Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball final and was horrified when they showed the cheerleader fall from the top of a pyramid. She lay on the ground around midcourt for what seemed like forever while the Savvis center was in complete silence. It's always weird when 12,000 people are stone cold silent, to the point where Dick Enberg and Clark Kellogg were whispering their commentary. Then, miraculously, when she was placed on the gurney she showed her spirit fingers. It got a little dusty in my household for a minute as she was being carted out waving her arms to the Southern Illinois fight song. Truly a moving moment that was funny and sad at the same time. It turns out that she suffered a broken neck in the fall, but should recover fully in six weeks. Quite the little trooper she is.
