Semi (H)OT: Cheerleader

Submitted by GRBluefan on
Given the hulabaloo(sp?) going around regarding the attractive young Michigan cheerleader forever imortalized by being photo-captured in the football throwing motion at the women's football academy, I figured I would point out that she was a cnnsi cheerleader of the week during last football season. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0809/campus.c… At least, I think it is the same girl. This may have been brought up earlier...I am either too lazy or too dumb (whichever is less offensive) to figure that out.

Semi HOT?!?! Who knew Brad Pitt posted on MGoBlog?:p On another note, I read the 20 questions section posed to the UM cheerleader (Kristy!) in the link by the OP. In response to the horribly drole "What three things would you take to a desert island?" question, Kristy answered: an inflatable life raft. Smart as a whip, that Kristy.

I don't see what's so dumb about wanting a life raft for the Gilligan's Island hypothetical. Seems sensible. True, she probably has more Charles Shackleford navigation skills than Ernest Shackleton-level skills, but still. If her answer had been ice pops or George Michael records or something, I could see your point. Also, didn't want to go Strunk & White cop on you, but I think it may be required in this case as your "Smart as a whip, that Kristy" seems a bit mean spirited in addition to being misapplied. I don't think you know what drole means (or as it's commonly spelled in English, droll). Dozens of better diction choices out there. In fact, "inflatable raft" describes the SI question about as a well as "horribly drole" does.

Uh...you TOTALLY misinterpreted my statement, "Smart as a whip" which I intended as a compliment due to the fact that she was smart enough to say that she would choose a life raft as one of her three items for her desert island "vacation". Most people never think to include something that would actually allow one to escape said desert island. I realize that most remarks on this board by most posters are sarcastic, but this was an instance where I was genuinely impressed by her answer. I have a "helpful" suggestion for you in return: you might want to ask for clarification of a poster's intentions before going off on someone based on a faulty assumption and making yourself look like an officious ass.

And for misinterpreting your sincerity, you have my apologies. But I must say, too much politeness and "can you please clarify" makes the reading a little dull. Had I gone this route, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to call me an officious ass, which, I'm sure was pretty fun/cathartic for you. (And a good one, by the way). And I wouldn't get to make jokes about Charles Schackleford and Ernst Shackleton, and so forth.

thought they looked pretty similar...my process was as follows: 1.) Look at picture of chick with football. 2.) Make determination that she is attractive. 3.) Notice her very blonde hair. 4.) Recall seeing Michigan cheerleader at cnnsi.com 5.) Remember her also having blonde hair. 6.) Remember thinking she was also attractive. 7.) Look up old cnnsi cheerleader of the week archive. 8.) Think to myself..."Yeah, I think it is the same girl." 9.) Re-examine original girl with football to confirm. 10.) Post on mgoblog Since there at least several people who think I am wrong, I am willing to admit that I made a mistake. But at least it was a good looking mistake.
