The Cheapies

Given that I doubt that Round 2 of the Women's NCAA tournament will ever make it onto Cheap Seats, tonight I will be playing the part of the Sklar brothers and giving out some Cheapies of my own:

Worst Spelling Error by a Cheerleader: Kansas State. Returning from halftime the Kansas State cheerleaders were running around with their "KSU" banners. Except while running around the court they somehow got out of order and ended up exiting the arena spelling out "S" "U" "K"

Worst Fitting Cheerleader Outfits: Vanderbilt. The skirts weren't fit right and the briefs were too small, which meant exposed asscheeks out of the bottom of every single skirt.

Most Unfortunate Color Match-Up: Baylor vs. Oregon. Green and gold vs, well, green and gold.

Worst Mascot: Kansas State. I thought Baylor had this one locked up with their bear that was in such a poorly fitting costume you could see the human's neck where the mascot head didn't quite meet the mascot body. But Kansas State had a guy in a basketball uniform wearing a giant Cat head on top of his real head.

Best Dressed Fan: Baylor. There was a female fan who was at least 75 years old who had died her hair green for the occasion.

Most Kick Ass Move by a Ref: Lisa Mattingly. She kept chewing gum and a whistle in her mouth simultaneously while running up and down a basketball court.

Worst Dance Team Outfits: Kansas State. Purple sequins. EVERYWHERE.

Highest Coach to Player Ratio: Vanderbilt. I counted nine players and seven coaches.

Worst Fan Participation Cheer: Baylor. Imagine the tomahawk chop, but with a your hand in a bear claw pose. Then slow it down about a million times. A ROCK could get away from this bear!

This is where my mind wanders when I'm watching a sporting event for which I have no rooting interest. Kansas State also had the worst pep band song of the night (School's Out For Summer?) while Vanderbilt had the best (Our House. Oregon TOTALLY needs to add that to their repertoire).

Some of us, mostly of the male persuasion, might say that those qualities make the Vandy cheerleaders' outfits the best fitting.

Trust me, Hugh. It wasn't pretty to look at. Any outfit that makes college cheerleaders look -bad- is not a good outfit.

Whenever the Maryland Terrapins score a touchdown, the cheerleaders run a lap around the football field with their flags that say TERPS. Needless to say, this means that at any given moment, half the crowd is looking at flags which say SPRET.

Which is better than SUK, admittedly.
