  1. You people are some crazy shit. Just saying what needs to be said.
  2. Gomers to the Big 10? lol. Sixty years ago USC got rid of the all male "yell leaders." It will never happen. They don't want the aggys. The USC Song Girls In the fall of 1919, first-year USC student Lindley Bothwell became the university’s first “yell leader.” Bothwell and a few friends decided to create their own cheers to pump up the crowd at football games. The tradition stuck. Nearly 50 years after the yell leaders were born, the sole spirit squad at USC was still reserved for men only. Students voted overwhelmingly in 1967 to allow women to join the spirit group. Auditions were held, and seven women were chosen for the inaugural 1968 team. The Song Girls would become much more than a spirit squad during the decades that followed. They became the wholesome, smiling faces of college football, appearing on broadcasts and movie screens, in commercials and in magazines, more bright-eyed ambassadors than college cheerleaders. As the Song Girls were immortalized as Southern California fixtures, the program remained steeped in its traditions. To this day, their uniform of white sweaters, pleated skirtsand red shoes — first worn for a Texaco commercial in 1973 — remains largely unchanged. https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/story/2021-04-27/who-are-the-song-girls-usc-dance-squad
  3. Thanks. The postings on this place have been fantastic, by the way.
  4. I'm back. Just keeping a low profile. Here is the PBS series on the 1899 Sewanee Tigers team. https://www.pbs.org/video/unrivaled-sewanee-1899-1vp1hk/ ( and yes, the "twelfth player in every football game" is very much a regular aspect of the game. It meant nothing to the players or the fans of the game.)
  5. I don't post much these days, but here is one for you guys. aggy LOVES to bleat about their "12 Man" shit. We all know about the truth about their misguided E. King Gill. He wasn't anyone special then, he isn't anything special now and there is a reason no one in the history of sports have given a shit about what they claim to make their "history" anything worth noting. Here is a snippet about the 1899 Sewanee Tigers team who was traveling down to Texas to play the University of Texas. They added a bunch of teams to make the trip pay for itself. They took a team of 18 players down to play Texas. 18 players. Think about that for a minute. 18 players. Enjoy.
  6. Randolph Duke is doing fine. I'm just laughing my ass off at what aggy has become.
  7. Keep the bonfire away from the state owned property. If the aggys want to have a bonfire, let them do it, but under no circumstances - do not let the state fund the bonfire. No state funding, no state support. To you have that, aggys? The answer is "no."
