In football, a win or loss is determined not by coaching strategy or pure athleticism, but by which team has the hottest cheerleaders.

Sure, some football “purists” would say this is completely insane, but I say pish-posh to that.

When the game at hand is incredibly boring, and you need something to lift up your spirits (among other things), who do you call? CHEERLEADERS.

To commemorate an exciting, rollercoaster year in college football (not to mention tonight’s BCS Championship game between LSU and Ohio State) COED gives you The Cheerleaders of the BCS Football Championship Teams. Now you will finally see the real reason why University of Hawaii, USC, Oklahoma University and the others made it to the championship games.

The school, like Erin, is becoming more vigilant by increasing security around campus, including putting locks on the inside of classrooms. (more…)
