Cheerleaders?!

[Side Show Joe]

What the hell are they doing out there? At the Houston game they seemed shaky... Yeah, I think that is the best way to put it.

I wonder if they understand when they are supposed to fire up the crowd? Every away game I've been to they cheer and yell when our offense is on the field and then when our defense is trying to get a stop they are facing the field watching the game. A few times last night when our offense was facing 3rd down, the stadium announcer called for noise, and our cheerleaders turned to the Mean Green section and tried to get our crowd to make noise. I know in the grand scheme of things it wasn't going to make much of a difference, but really?!!!

Look. I know the cheerleaders are volunteer and I'm thankful to them for the time they take to support our university, but there is a philosophy behind motivating and energizing the crowd. At its core that philosophy needs to center on knowing when to try and fire up our fans.

Is anyone else seeing this, or is it just me?

I'm just happy there were no injuries! Every time I looked down, someone was falling off a pyramid or getting dropped. Maybe the b team?

Finally, some cheerleading talk!

Didn't happen without pictures.

Jesus, was the toilet paper in the bathrooms one-ply and below FBS standards? We're picking on cheerleaders at road games now?

Anyone else notice how the UH cheerleaders went onto the field with signs to get their big chant going? Somehow we still haven't figured out how to accomplish this at our stadium...

Actually... that might have been crummy 1-ply cardboard paper derivative at the Rob, I admit...

I saw a few falls and drops too, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Did Scrappy and Shasta not have a meeting of the mascots? If they did, I missed it.
