In April, she did so, creating Liquid Gold. “I knew A&T is where I wanted to go and I wanted to dance when I got there,” Mayes told Andscape. “It didn’t matter what team I was on. I was going to make that happen.”...

Gotta be prepared to hear that we're copying Alabama St (at least).
My response will be, 'Yep!'.

I’d have to see it first. It works at ASU because, those ladies’ performances are dynamite. They can move, flip and full straddle split…they can really perform.

Why don’t they just join our current golden delight? Because they can’t get in the uniforms…every thing ain’t for everybody. Next thing you know we will have men trying to form their own dance team or be o. Golden Delight. Damn you Lizzo…LOL !! |

Why don’t they just join our current golden delight? However, due to the team’s strict body requirements, plus-size dancers do not have the best odds of making the team; a post on Golden Delight’s Instagram page informs those interested in joining: “We have strict physical/body requirements due to uniforms worn and intense performance style. This is a determining factor in the selection process.” |

LOL, I blame Monique! You know they have guys performing with the dance girls in the MASS bands for Georgia and North Carolina. So, I have a feeling that it is coming, it's only a matter of time. |

Looks like they'll be in the stands (not with BGMM but somewhere out there) come Aggie-Eagle weekend and the rest of the season.
Let em cook, I say.
