Best Sport to Cheer for

[saywhat?]

What's the best sport to cheer for? Football is cool, but by the end of the season, it's downright chilly outside. The climate-controlled environment of a basketball gym is nice and pampering. Which one do yall like more? I think we need to resuscitate this board. Also, what's the fav cheer? I know some that are like sooooo cool and some that are like "played". Like, u know what i'm talking about?

From my experience talking to cheerleaders, I'd have to say Football. Definately not basketball.

Yea I agree with Grad! Even though I like basketball and my boyfriend was a basketball player, to me football is more exciting. Not to mention, the season is shorter. I think I cheered for over 50 basketball games this year...it gets kinda old after the first 20. Especially when there are 2 to 3 games a week!

Flipn, I need to get in contact with you concerning a beach towel...you probably know what I am referring to.

[MaryvilleRebels]

Flpn, you probably actually did about 60 games for basketball. Assuming that u did all the games for both boys and girls. Also I would say from a fans point of view that cheerleaders in football are much better. They don't do as much in terms of tumbling and such, but to me they just get in the way in basketball. thumb

[Flipn4OHS]

HAHA!! Yes I know of the said towel you are speaking of...my email is bluedevilunt1@aol.com send me an email and i will give you my cell so i can get that back...my mom was asking me where it was the other day lol!

I know that football is the more prestigious of the sports discussed, but I also think it's kind of funny that none of yall mentioned wrestling. I think "mat girls" are kind of silly, but what do yall think? Is it fun?

[MaryvilleRebels]

I wrestled a little bit and I would find "mat girls" to be kinda pointless. In the heat of a match you're really only listening for one or two voices and thats your coaches' and even then those are hard to pick out so having mat girls would be a larger distraction, and I don't really think there is a need to feed off a large crowd or noise, the adrenaline of wanting to beat your opponent is enough.

I agree with you MaryvilleReb, cheering at a wrestling match goes beyond pointless, actually.

[GradfromtheNest]

From talking to the cheerleaders, I don't think they like to do it either! Maybe Flipn4OHS can shed us some light on the subject.

[Flipn4OHS]

No I don't like cheering for wrestling at all! We used to have to do it but we don't anymore...the main reason we hate it is cause we just get in the way and the guys don't even want us there. The coaches just wanted us there, so that's why we had to do it. I think if a squad wants to go sit in the stands and maybe cheer from the stands or do cheers in between matches that is alright and that the wrestlers would appreciate it but being down there on the mat is so pointless...no one wants us there we are just in the way!

Ive talked to the cheerleaders at my school. And some like football because the band plays along with them but dont like it cause its cold. But others like basketball cause there inside and its nice and warm but they dont like being seperated into two parts
