re: We need to talk about the Golden Girls-Tiger Girls feud

I hope the Golden Girls and Color Guard (who by the way have their lowest membership in 10-15 years) can survive the current administration.

I do, too. I danced for LSU when they still had Tigerettes (twirling line that performed along with Golden Girls). At that time, the Tigerettes were more prestigious. There was a feature twirler at pregame and she could grab the attention of the entire stadium. They gradually fell out of favor because the band director chose to feature the Golden Girls more. Fewer and fewer competed for the position because they were not the focus. The same thing is now happening to the Golden Girls. It is a shame because the girls work hard. They show up in August and sweat through untold hours. They learn a new show every Monday and audition for that show on Wednesday. I will never forget my first Spring semester when I realized that other students actually had time off.

I hope the Golden Girls survive. I would like to see a good twirling line back at LSU. There is room for them all.
