Speaking of cheerleaders, when is college week for the cheerleader camp at SMU? That's honestly the reason a lot of folks stayed in town for summer school.

They might have won the championship by getting in a little more practice DURING games.

Too bad it isn't an NCAA sanctioned sport.

Their sport cheerleading is so far from actual cheer-leading that I doubt going to games actually helps.
