Raven's Game - August 29, 2008
Last night, my son-in-law got 4 free tickets to the Baltimore Raven's pre-season game against the Atlanta Falcons - 5th row seats. This was my first live NFL game ever. I think my brothers went to a Colts game in the 70's, but I never did. We lost 9 -10, but I had a great time. The Raven's did what they're really good at - field goals and defense - but no touchdowns. I really enjoyed watching the cheerleaders perform, too. My 6 year old grandson was totaly enamored - as soon as he saw them he said "look, cheerleaders". Especially when the guys were part of the squad, and they'd toss the girls up in the air, and the girls would flip & the guys would catch them. Later, the bigger guys in our group were egging him on to wave at them and say "hey, baby". I think one of the cheerleaders waved at him, too. I don't think of the cheerleaders as airheads. They are athletes in their own right, and they are skilled in their sport. The choreography was perfect. Yay Team.

Neither the Browns nor Giants use cheerleaders. )c;
ReplyDeleteNo cheerleaders? What were they thinking? I also liked the band. I remember trying out for cheerleading in high school, but I got sick, and you couldn't miss a single practice. I thought about trying out for flags, which was part of the band, not the cheerleading squad. One of my co-workers was a cheerleader in high school and college, and tried out for the Redskins squad, but didn't make it.
ReplyDeleteThe high school I "attended" has both a band and cheerleaders and majorettes. Such as they were. It was a pretty small ensemble. Pittiful, actually. )c;
