What a weekend

Hey guys Adam here again. I just wanted to tell you about our weekend. We just got done with Late night at the Phog and it was amazing. To start the night off right we performed two routines. One with the dancers, and the other was cheer only. There were a few little errors but with only a few weeks to master two routines we did pretty good. This is my 5th year cheering in college, and i have been to my share of nationals both nca, and uca, done partner stunt, and performed several other times, but there are very few times i can remember stepping off the mat being that happy with my team and having that much fun while performing. To top it off the 15,000 fans yelling for us just made it that much better. We showed everyone, including ourselves we have potential to do very good at nationals. Here are a couple photos courtesy of kusports.com:



After getting done with our performances we watched the rest of late night, and watched a scrimmage of the mens basketball team to kick off their season and they looked awsome which gives us high hopes to be cheering for a national championship in march.

On Saturday we woke up bright and early to cheer on our football team. After the 2 hour delay the team crushed baylor bringing our team to 6 and 0, moving them up to 15th in the nation.

What a weekend!

KU Defeats K-State 30-24!

After an amazing weekend of college football, I am excited to report that the Hawks have won in Manhattan for the first time since 1989. We took most of our squad and we were fortunate enough to get to cheer during an incredible rivalry game. The environment was very hostile, but it only makes victory that much sweeter. I only cheered the first half, which let me tell you, was not the half that I expected. A couple of turnovers and a late second quarter drive tied us with the Wildcats 14-14 at halftime. The crowd was getting crazier and crazier, and it looked like we might have trouble pulling one out on the road. The second half, however, was a much different football game. We were able to sustain offense with the running game, and two late interceptions, one by my favorite player #3 Aqib Talib, sealed the victory. We had beaten K-State in their home town!!!

The game was one of the most exciting football games I have ever cheered for KU and it is a great way to continue my senior year. Both groups of cheerleaders did an amazing job in front of a lot of unfriendly faces and helped support the team in one of our biggest road victories under Coach Mangino. Props to the six standing fulls we threw in their end zone! I have to say that I thought it was a little early, but nothing is better than yelling the Rock Chalk chant with a minute to go and watching all of those K-State fans leave early. We have now beaten K-State in football three of the four years I have been in college. I love being a Jayhawk!

Here are a couple pics of the game this past weekend:
