What was said is that the name changed, but what I was told in person verbatim is that and I quote " Blue Reign is no Longer". Other changes are as follows 1. We didn't have pom's 2. Coaches 3. They are a part of athletics now 4. No dancing for long periods of time on the court. ( Request per alumni) 5. No stands 6. style of dance 7. outfits 8. EVERYTHING! Sooo, what exactly do they do? Im assuming since they don't dance for "long periods of time" (ie. Halftime) when do they actually perform...timeouts??? If that is the case (and that is an assumption because i have not seen them yet) There is/was room for both BR and Pizzazz...let the Pizzazz girls cheer and dance on the floor during timeouts and let BR entertain during Halftime Just my $.02 Sidenote: they need a new name, because that one right there is terrible; I mean Athletics DID want folks to take the team seriously right???

why did martin burden the cheerleader coach with having to train a pom pom squad.. does the coach have that kind of time since she is trying to 5-pete the meac cheerleading championships... if we don't 5-pete.. then the folks in dowdy will have screwed up another good program...
i keep hearing about the halftime entertainment that was suppose to be in corbett... there was no halftime entertainment at the bcc game... no blue reign.. no nothing...!!!!!!!!!
LET THE YOUNG LADIES DANCE...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those Pom Pom girls are just an extra row of cheerleaders at this point. The only time I notice them is when they are throwing t-shirts into the stands.
I have yet to see them perform a dance routine.
Somebody needs to be blowing up Monkeisha Borders' phone ASAP and beg her to bring BR back before the year is over.
I guess people don't miss something until its gone.

I guess people don't miss something until its gone. here is what i can't figure out... "the folks in dowdy" are willing to pay for halftime entertainment when you have the ladies of blue reign performing for free... what really blows my mind is the fact that "the folks in dowdy" are willing to pay for halftime entertainment but aren't willing to pay for physicals... like i said before... "the folks in dowdy" are a piece of work... a piece of work...

Maybe they SHOULD have choreographed a dance battle with Golden Delight. They could have billed it as a dance battle, but in reality it could have been something like what they did with the cheerleaders at halftime during football games.
Coulda had some Rocky theme music goin, then took turns with a dance battle, then came together for a big finale. No winner declared, just nothin but AGGIE PRIDE being yelled through the rafters...
Too bad thrilla didnt explain that to the teams beforehand and tried to start a civil war on campus. Who knows, BR might still be on campus if they were able to pull that off...

^^^^^ LOL @ Thrilla So again I ask...what in the "L" do the pom girls actually do??? mostly sit in the stands.. i mean you can tell the cheerleader coach don't have the time to put into a pom pom squad.. she has to get ready to defend the meac title... i go to alot of college bball gms.. & from what i've seen.. blue reign was the best dance team around.. now i'm no where near the "expert" dance critics "the folks in dowdy" are... but.. the way blue reign mixed classical.. jazz.. ballet.. african & other ethnic dance routines with hip-hop really set them apart from other schools dance teams i have seen... i'm with you thrilla.. who in their right mind would complain about these young ladies.. worst.. who in their right mind would listen..!!!!!!

I think it could have worked better if we meaning old blue reign and the new coaches (cheerleading coaches) could have worked together instead of having a whole new team. Less stress on them to do so much and not as big of a blow to blue reign for being changed. Everybody could have been happy but there is always going to be someone that wants to control everything with no teamwork. No fault of the cheerleading coaches. I hope to see what great changes this decision will bring about for the spirit of aggie pride. We (blue reign) are far better than any other HBCU basketball season dance team, I just wish we could have continued to build up the legacy with some other changes and adj! JUST BE FAIR ABOUT IT! GOD BLESS!

Huh? the ladies of blue reign were talented.. elegant.. classy & beautiful.. they provided the university with a 1st class dance squad.. which gave them something to put on their resumes.. not only that but for example.. if a blue reign dancer moved to LA & she wanted to try out for the laker girls.. having been a part of BR would definitely get her foot in the door.. but leave it to "the folks in dowdy".. they are only here to kill moral.. not enhance it...
