HitItHarder..BAM

So excited to see 2 former TCCs make an NFL team! Tbh I wish they had a more dynamic squad reveal video. The royalty-free music and having the same background throughout the video made it kind of unengaging. I comparing this to last year's DCC reveal video which I thought was a lot more exciting

I had no idea that Carey was an ATL cheerleader for 7 (!!) years - nearly a decade as a pro-cheerleader is such an accomplishment

So they did end up going to Mexico this year?

Charly and Ariana were two of my assumed locks!! Charly seems to be a really talented dancer, so I'd be surprised if she struggled with the style Ariana has got such a traditional DCC look, tbh I thought she'd be a Kelly girl-crush for sure

I'm pretty sure this Leah from UCLA Whoever she is, I agree she looks super cute here :) Blue is a good color on her 😉 I feel like we rarely see DCC with hair this dark, but maybe they'll leave it to contrast against all the blondes

Redhead in the ponytail in the back corner looks like Charly Girl in purple in front of Claire looks like Ari Can anyone identify the girl next to Kelcey? You can see her more clearly in the dance floor pic, but it looks like she's the only non-DCC in her row

"To keep her from attacking me" What could have possibly happened that lead to a DCC instigating conflict (esp to a serviceman and esp on an official visit)???

My predictions for the 1st few rows of the triangle: Kelcey McKenzie Chandi Armani Claire Tori Jessica Jada VK Darian KD Kelee Dani Elli Kleine I've got Claire and Kelcey switching off as point (it seems like they usually put 2nd point in diamond position) & McKenzie completing the diamond since she made SG as a rookie I imagine VK wouldn't be too far back in the formation and she needs Jada to balance her height Working on this made me wonder, is it better to be further up in the formation or more on the outside? Like would you rather be in the middle of the 4th row or the outside of the 6th row?

🤞🤞Hopefully But I'd be surprised if Kleine was working full time to edit a reality show about the DCC when she's currently on the team I think maybe she's cutting a video for in-stadium promos/social media. Either way, super cool that Kleine actually gets to use her non-dance skills with the DCC!!

In fairness to Tasha, I think she said something like I've been blond for a very long time"

Y'all these are lyrics from a Drake song, and I wanted to share because the top line is basically the unofficial DCC motto 😂😂

I think bc the squad photo is the official team photo, while the post-finals photo is just a quick picture to document the moment. So, for the picture at the end of finals, they just have all 45 TCC stand together and make sure no one's making a weird face. While for the squad photo, they have to do official hair and makeup and have everyone in a particular order. I guess it's kind of like the difference between a Christmas card photo and the picture someone takes when their family is opening presents around the tree on Christmas morning. If you're paying a professional to take pics and this is the picture you're using to represent your family/organization for the next year, you're going to make sure you get your money's worth

I think she won VOTY (Caroline won ROTY from that same rookie class, I think) But yes, could not agree more!! She seems like such a good teammate and friend. I'll always think of the S14 team reveal when she was sobbing at the thought of Lily and Meredith being cut 💔

Do the football coaches care though? I always thought that only DCC leadership cared about and enforced the non-fraternization rules

Using stars actually makes sense to me because they make me think of 'Stars and Stripes.' The New England Patriots as a team naturally tend to have a lot of American Revolution iconography
