Frankly, I'm not sure how they have been able to win it so many years. But my guess is that having a strong commitment to the program by both the University Administration and the Athletic Department - and for over thirty years now - has helped.

So how was the program? WE Network isn't part of the local cable package so I wasn't able to catch it. Last I heard, some local UK Alumni were Tivo'ing it to show at one of our alumni functions later this year.

I'm pretty sure they go out and recruit just like the coaches do. Looking at their roster, they seem to attract students from all over the country. I've always heard Kentucky's Cheer Squads were the best.

I'm fairly certain they do. And this is what I mean by the commitment by the UK Administration and the UK Athletic Department. They put the resources (money and personal) into the Kentucky program that is needed to continue it to be one of the best in the nation.

Love watching cheerleading competitions! I always wanted to be one but just not coordinated enough.

And guess what comes on this Sunday??? Bring it On: All or Nothing! I can't wait, I have never seen the third one so excited to see it on tv. And Abc fAmily is showing all three -- I will be glued to watch All or Nothing at 8pm! Can't wait.

Dont know about you but my Spirit Fingers are ready!

**Spoiler Alert**
It's short but if you dont want to know, skip my post. FYI, WE is running the episode over and over until the new episode so you still have a chance to catch it.

They showed the clinics for tryouts. There were more girls than guys (not surprising) and the coaches made cuts. A lot of HS seniors were there and one girl said if she didn’t make the squad (blue squad assume) she wasn't going to the school.

Every one had to try out including returning members. One girl from the white squad who was trying out for the blue squad, got dropped. Not a happy camper. I will say though, the coach handled it well. He pulled her aside and told her by herself. What the coaches did for every one was post the numbers of the kids who were cut. It gives them some anonymity. Still sucks though.

Yeah! I'm excited. I loved Cheerleader Nation

Another cheer show for me to watch. Now I just need to figure out 1) if I get WE with my digital cable and 2) if I do, what channel it is

Is the girl Ashley who made the white squad in episode two the same Ashley from Cheerleader Nation? She looks the same ...
