@CatybelongstoJared Ah. I see. Makes sense now. Btw, have you seen our cheerleaders? Not that appealing. Pom squad girls are much much hotter. But yes, as i agreed before, the male cheerleader's athleticism is impressive.

@rwilliams89 No i think guys being Cheerleaders is awsome :D they are the smart boys too. think about it. They get to hang out with girls in little skirts and watch them jump around all the time. THINK ABOUT IT they are the SMART BOYS plus they are usually strong. Can you catch a 110 pound girl as she falls from up to 12 feet? all the jocks gotta catch is a 2lb ball. and GIRLS KICK BUTT AS THE MASKED RIDER we llok better on horses. BTW you've been arguing wit a 12 year old girl :) have fun

@CatybelongstoJared you dont think the guys look a little dumb being cheer leaders? i mean, the gymnastics part is kinda cool, but the little arm movements and clapping is just embarrassing. And yes, you said its a "boy figure". therefore, should be a boy. I'm not saying that girls cant do it just as well, but seriously, it just takes away from it all.

@rwilliams89 The saddle tramps were a joke and it just stuck cause all the members were boys so they were tramps :) i see why you would say that it should be a boy. But just because its a boy figure doesn't mean it has to be a boy. i mean really? thats like sayin boys can't be cheerleaders. Its a boy or girl activity. I am not trying to be rude but this is the truth.

@CatybelongstoJared all i'm saying is, imagine they made another Zorro movie. But Zorro was a girl. Would it be as cool? Compare super man vs super woman. Which plays the (same) role better? I'm not trying to be biggoted or whatever you want to call it, i'm just saying, some roles should be played only by men. I've met alot of girls at tech who agree that the masked rider should only be guys. And for the record, i'm really not a fan of saddle tramps either. "Tramps"? Really?

[CatybelongstoJared]

@rwilliams89 The masked rider gives the students a chance to show their love for their university. I personaly have wanted to be the masked rider for 3 years (i've wanted to go to tech for 9 years) and i am A GIRL!

The boys at tech have the saddle tramps just for them. Though my MOTHER ALMOST became the FIRST GIRL saddle tramp. WRECK"EM TEAXAS TECH

@poodlepink kind of like Raider Red

[gvatech]

I strongly agree!

I think they should have a mystery masked rider until their year is over, then they could do a little ceremony telling them goodbye and all but not showing the new one until after their year.

The ceremony kinda defeats the purpose of a "mysterious" masked rider, doesn't it?
