Boi from Troy is checking out a report that the male yell leaders won't be back on the sidelines at Trojans football games this fall.
Known officially as “yell leaders” the tight-knit-sweatered group has had a rough go at it lately. Traditionally, the squad does one pushup for each trojan point after each score. But when you’re beating UCLA 66-19, not even the horse has the stamina to keep up with the Trojan offense, let alone the Song Boys.We’re working on getting official confirmation, but if true, this would be a tragic end to an 85-year tradition.
P.S. Anonymous sources tell us that the long-time coach of the yell leaders, who moonlighted in the job when not stewarding Less Room Through CoAAch flights on American Airlines, was “released” a few months ago.
Nothing on the yell leaders' official web site. You thought they wouldn't have one?
