I surveyed the crop of hopeful Ohio State cheerleaders. The herd of kids,
most about to start their senior year of high school, had arrived for an
intense, week-long camp that was supposed to prepare them for tryouts next
spring. If they made it through the week without being cut, they’d land an
invitation to interview with the coaching staff and bypass the grueling first
day of auditions.
The seniors had promise, athletically speaking, but some of them were
too green. It was like mommy and daddy dropped them off at the dorms this
morning and the kids hadn’t recovered from severing the umbilical cord.
I swore I’d seen one of the guys walking around with a dazed
expression, looking for his parents in the same way as the guy looking for
his arm in Saving Private Ryan.
The prospects sat crossed-legged on the turf of the south end zone,
most of them shielding their eyes from the bright July sun as they gazed up
at me. I’d gotten approval to bring them into the stadium on the first day of
camp, hoping to inspire them. Some looked around in awe at the horseshoeshaped stands. A few tried to pick at the blades of grass, bored as I
recounted the story of my mother.
Didn’t they know the grass was plastic?
I flung a finger up to the bleachers on the fifty-yard line. “My mom
had me, right there in the stands, fifteen minutes after we beat Michigan.
So, I can tell you I was literally born to be an Ohio State Buckeye.”
Beside me, Lisa Kuhn scrutinized the group like they were diseased,
and I thanked God for the third time today the squad elected me captain and
not her. She was an amazing performer and gymnast. She had a thousandwatt smile you could see from the nose-bleed seats, and she’d never underrotated a tumbling pass in her life.
But, damn, her personality sucked.
