Pac-10 Cheerleading Update

This might be the first blog post written about cheerleaders without including a single photo. That's what the links are for ...

Safe for work:

• Congratulations to USC's Allison, who was named Sports Illustrated's Cheerleader Song Girl of the Week.
• Congratulations to UCLA's nine returning dance team members.

Not so safe for work:

• Condolences to Arizona State's disbanded cheerleading squad. Apparently they got in trouble for being in their underwear (basically the same thing as a swimsuit). Of course, TheDirty.com (who brought those party-hardy Matt Leinart photos to light) is involved. The site published the original pics and is now campaiging to reinstate the squad. You can't make this stuff up.
• The Arizona State cheerleaders were participating in a tradition called Undie Run. Yes, UCLA has the same tradition. And last night, USC had a fountain run.
