Athlete (2001-2003) Michael Southall

You know somthing is off kilter when you point out that one of the Ragin' Jazz is Homecoming Queen and they ask . . . "Queen?"

I sat next to his Mom last night on the plane from Houston ( I was on my way back from Boston). He says he loves what he is doing and as long as he is happy, she is happy.

Funny, I get blasted for saying I don't like Michael Southall being back on the team on this board, while you get almost complimented for your observation of the dance team.

Cheerleaders have historically gone through the same hassle in breaking through stereotypes.

I think the crowds have been kind to both the new twist on an old tradition and the return of Michael Southall

Here is a link to a couple of UL cheerleaders from 1922

And I still think the game lacked beer and the Cajun Chicken.

Here's an idea, we ought to have some enterprising students dress as beer vendors and seek donations for the program. Think about it, if we can't have beer, then shouldn't we give the money we would have spent on beer to the program? Isn't that the next best use of the dollar?

IF we use the money for recruiting to mens sports we could call it a donation of "BEER BUCKS for YOUNG BUCKS" :confused:

Well, I for one am excited about the b-ball season. I really think that we can do something special this year...as in get an automatic NCAA bid without even winning the Sun Belt. I don't think this will be an issue because we should win the conference anyway, but I think that we should be in the position, by the time the tourney comes around, to be pretty much a solid bet on a big dance bid.

Regarding the beer, I think that my podna CrazyCajun said it best: something is missing. I wasn't there, but the thought of the crew watching a ball game without a cold dome foam just sorta makes me scared and sad at the same time. Only 4 games till the dome return, though!

As for the dancer...since I live on the other side of the globe, I was unaware of this until I saw the pics posted from the homecoming game. This is definately a different direction! I guess as long as he's happy and he can dance, there shouldn't be a problem. But he, along with everyone else on that dance team, is going to have to have THICK skin because there will be some tough tough crowds that will not be able to pass up the obvious shots. I'm sure they already know this. The good news is that it's a lot easier to tell people to F-off when your team is dominating. As long as we play solid basketball, who cares if there's a little fella out there shakin it...I've seen some of the girls in the past 10 years, and he can't be much worse of a dancer or looker than them! (ok that was mean, I apologize...)

Bottom line is this: BIG football game tomorrow night, Beer will be back, and if we can get over 25 wins in basketball this season (which means we're playing great ball and go the the big dance) ... I just want to WIN!

ps
I miss that Cajun Chicken, too. His Micheal Jackson bit always killed me.

I will say this..........he's the best damn dancer in the bunch.

I'm sick of hearing about disiplinary actions and not knowing what they are for. Can someone clear it up?

He and OTHERS were late to practice or a team meeting I'm not sure which.

Coach Lee is simply putting policy in stone and imo we shouldn't read to much into this.

I will say this; if Southall, Turner and Fields are feeling sorry for themseles, they better be glad they don't play for Tom Coughlin. link

Who's surprised? You surprised? I am not surprised!

[NCAA or BUST]

Southall made a mistake, big deal.
