Wow, you'd think that cheerleader was a mustachioed ex-coach.

Why people continue to knock other people who volunteer there time to Georgetown Basketball is beyond me. The cheerleaders are at every game . . . whether its Jacksonville or Syracuse and I imagine there is a lot of practice time involved so why would you try to rip these people on a message board. Just in the interest of facts, they are not there every game. For games over the winter break, the GU Pep Band and cheerleader squad are replaced with a local high school band and nothing, respectively... both of which I view as an upgrade. Not that I have anything against the GU Pep Band, I just think the high school replacement band does a nice job.

You've heard it all before.

I went to see the Hoyas in a Great 8 preseason tournament game in Chicago in 1996 (I think). The Hoyas had a gigantic male cheerleader who performed a ridiculous maneuver with another male cheerleader and two female cheerleaders. (This is starting to sound perverse.)
Anyway, it's hard to explain, but the gigantic male-leader let the other male-leader stand on his shoulders and one girl would stand to each side of the gigantor. The top male-leader held the inside arms of the two female-leaders while the gigantor held the female-leaders between the hip and the ribcage with his arms straight out to each side. The female-leaders would be suspended just a few inches above the ground and then the gigantor would slowly spin in a circle to show everyone in the crowd his ridiculous feat of strength.
Can anyone else attest to this so I can know that my memory was not playing tricks on me as a 13 year-old?

I remember seeing this all the time my frosh (and maybe my soph) year, which would be 1996-97 and 1997-98. You're not imagining that move. I wasn't in Chicago in 1996, but you're not crazy.

There was also the guy cheerleader who encouraged the "BS" cheers during one or two egregious displays of officiating incompetence.

UNC in Dayton rings a bell (when we saw them lose to George Mason), but I'm not positive. But yes, it was very impressive, to say the least.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too -- Perhaps the "da" guy didn't show up and they were just left with Dajuan is bomb?

From what a friend of theirs tells me, its an inside joke, but not with DaJuan, just amongst themselves.

That's the thing though, it was all on one sheet of paper, so it's not as though they forgot to hold up some element of the sign. I'm thinking Hoyals05 is right, though it was not in the YA section.
