Dump the cheerleaders. Boost the budget for the dancers. If someone is looking for an excuse, they will find it. I bet if NT were in the New Orleans Bowl, there wouldn't have been a single cheerleader quit. No bowl game/no show up. Jennifer Cloutier (sp) and the NT Dancers show up for any thing that involves a ball of any shape. I'm sure they work, go to school, live out of town, have a sick grandmother, etc. They just seem to get the job done. dump the cheerleaders. Dance, dance, dance. PS. to sportsguy- I was at the game Monday night. If there was a cheerleader of any gender there, he was well hidden. One of the ways we know the cheerleaders are at an event is that we can see them. An invisible cheerleader is not a cheerleader. Joe
