Jordana's Blog: Final Four Here We Come!

At Syracuse University, we traveled to bowl games (Fiesta and Hall of Fame), NCAA games and even to Middle Tennessee State University for cheerleading camp.

I was a cheerleader for Syracuse from 1990 to 1994 and I loved it.

For all you naysayers that don't appreciate cheerleading, you are wrong. I learned about teamwork, sports, fitness, commitment, loyalty, competition and much more while cheerleading.  I'm still friends with almost all of my partners, squad mates and Oranges (the Orange's name is Otto).

I'll have to write more extensively about the lessons I learned while wearing a tiny skirt and balanced on my partners palm, but for now I'm happy to share some pictures and reminisce about bleeding orange and losing your voice for the love of the game and your school.

Final Four here we come... LET'S GO ORANGE!
