Some Song Girl comments here.
Q: The next time a Trojan football player gets arrested -- which, let's be perfectly honest here, we all know is inevitably going to happen again sometime soon, the only question is which player? -- won't those employees of the athletic department who are opposed to any Song Girl discussion actually wish at that point that the topic of conversation would revert back to the Song Girls rather than the criminal activities of the football team?
A: Or the next NCAA investigation.
Q: After reading the very scathing article by Celeste Fremon on the selection process for the USC Song Girls, is it not rather appropriate that Ms Fremon has now dedicated her life full-time to uncovering injustice in Los Angeles?
A: I agree. I think she is interested in anything you may have to say about the song girls, by the way.
Q: If the tryouts for the Song Girls were opened up to the public like the ones for the UCLA Dance Team, don't you think that both the IM-Rec and athletic departments would be all for it as they would also be able to sell food and drinks, other concessions, and have even a margarita stand on site? They could move the tryouts to the Galen Center and it seems like they could actually make money off a public Song Girl tryout process and also get some media coverage, too.
A: Yeah, and also have the glare of the public spotlight on them, which means they would be held accountable. Somehow I get the feeling that is the last thing they want. But that should be the goal here.
HEY EVERYONE A DIAMOND IN THE SONG GIRL'S ROUGH.. http://www.bustedcoverage.com/?p=6021
THEY NEED TO CHEER IN BIKINI'S
I already mentioned last week that Lindsey was one of only two pretty Song Girls on the current squad. This is from last week:
The following are the only pretty Song Girls in the 2000s who also had "The Look" that Dolly Zachary Rouse claimed was imperative to being a Song Girl:
1) Whitney (coach's daughter): 2000-2002
2) Shannon: 2002
3) Jacquelyn: 2004
4) Jenn: 2004-2005
5) Kim: 2004-2006
6) Natalie (coach's daughter): 2005-2006*
7) Erica: 2006
8) Lindsey: 2008-present
9) Keli: 2008-present
*This one is kind of a coin toss since sometimes she is pretty, but from certain angles, not so much. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt here and include her, especially since she made all of us laugh with her support for Texas.
Some notes:
1) This is the definitive list of ALL the pretty Song Girls from the 2000s that also had "The Look" which is considered imperative to be a Song Girl.
2) If you are not on this list or you know someone you think should be on it, you are wrong. This is the definitive list and is not open to discussion nor interpretation.
3) The list is not all blondes, as there are a couple of brunettes who clearly have "The Look."
4) Yes, the 2008 squad has a couple of members on the list, but before people start getting excited, there are actually 14 members on the 2008 squad. 2 out of 14 is not exactly glory days material, is it?
5) So we have a total of nine pretty Song Girls with "The Look" out of about 80 or so in the 2000s? That's pretty sad.
Fight on!
But now we have photo documentation of Lindsey's hotness. Scott needs to post it and say this is what the readers want! Make it happen and lets get back to football.
Did you notice she didnt look her best in the cheerleading outfit.. Too much make up slapped on her. They need to ease off on that for all song girls.
I agree with TrojaninDC's list of the pretty Song Girls of the 2000s. No argument from me.
Just as Celeste Fremon wrote the definitive article on the Song Girls selection process, Trojan in DC has come up with the definitive list of attractive Song Girls from this decade.
Both should be required reading.
TrojaninDC has made the great Lindley Bothwell and Dolly Rouse proud. Excellent, valuable work!
