jsneb83 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The best band act was, Hawaii I believe that did the full action field goal kick. Complete with ball flying through the air. Someone needs to dig that one up. Pretty sure I saw it posted on here. That was cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmbPbEzvZe8 1 Quote Link to comment

VectorVictor Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 That "chick" is in the OU squad. The way I hear is either a girl died or major injury after a stunt when we did have the male cheerleaders and they automatically stopped it. I know "she" is. But when someone said that male cheerleaders are useless at DoNU, they completely overlooked the option to dress them in drag, as OU has done. And here are some of the articles I was able to find regarding the cheerleading accidents that caused our program to shut down. I don't believe anyone died, but there were multi-million dollar lawsuits flying around...which for as fiscally tight a place as DoNU, could easily be the death knell for an instituition. http://peninsulaclar...po0040001.shtml It also appears that Nebraska is pretty much cutting cheerleading down to a voluntary (read: non-competitve) thing. http://journalstar.c...c6bfc1648f.html Of Note: Stunting at NU has been an issue since 1996, when then-student Tracy Jensen was paralyzed in an accident during cheer practice. The university paid Jensen a $2.1 million settlement.In 2002, NU did away with most stunting, including basket tosses, pyramids and tumbling. One year later, though, new Athletic Director Steve Pederson brought back two-person lifts, and cheerleaders had hoped he would further ease restrictions if they followed all safety regulations, Spirit Squad member Heather Ludwick said. So I guess it was on for a while, and now (as of 2007) it's off, along with scholarships and competition for cheerleaders? Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't know why but this makes my blood boil. We limit them, but allow hard hitting in football and have gymnastics that jump all over the place. What is the difference? The last few years I have been disappointed in watching the cheers. Now I will be even more. Quote Link to comment

Now I will be even more. The reason the cheerleaders have limits is because a multi-million dollar lawsuit was made to the university. Cheerleading isn't exactly something UNL is going to risk millions of dollars over. Quote Link to comment
