NewsFlash!

After some investigative reporting, it has been determined that midwesterners love Cheerwine and they also love Tyler Hansbrough.
The Cheerwatch News Team's investigative reporting unit, headed by Matt and myself, came across some folks from Marion, Indiana Friday and they all approached us with similar questions.
"Do you know Tyler Hansbrough?" asked a few of the wide-eyed Hoosiers.
"Is it true that Tyler Hansbrough drank five cases of Cheerwine without burping?" asked others.
One thing is for sure, midwesterners have a love for their fellow midwestern brother. Another thing, when given some free Cheerwine, immediate suspicion was rasied that these basketball fans might be tempted to steal and consequently hoard Cheerwine on their way back to Indiana. They loved the stuff.



Cheerwine also defeated the Yankee competition in cycling this week. The Cheerwine Pro Women's Cycling Team won the Raleigh Downtown Criterium Friday in front of a rowdy crowd. Had the mayor of Raleigh decided to do so, he could have declared it city-wide Cheerwine day and then said:
"May 25 from this day forward will be recognized as Cheerwine Day in Raleigh."
Of course this didn't actually happen but the news team determined that such an act would have, in fact, been awesome.

Technical difficulties resulted and pictures are now unavailable. Check back later for some shots of investigative reporting that will make your mouth water.
