Web-O-Rama Returns, Part One

Time for another trip around the wide world of the Big South Conference to see what you may have missed from the web homes of its members...

Buccaneer Cheer...

Big fan of Charleston Southern? How about being a Cheerleader for a Day? Okay, it's not for regular fans, it's an actual instructional clinic for cheerleaders, but if you (or someone among your friends and family) cheers--or wants to--this could be a great opportunity to learn some tips and have some fun at the same time, done in conjunction with the October 4th football game against Gardner-Webb. The CSU unit should be a good cheer group to learn from--it won a national competition back in March.

Chants Encounters...

Coastal Carolina baseball has been a strong program for years, but the Chanticleers have succeeded off the field as well. Look through the photo gallery of their recent visit to the young players of the Grand Strand Miracle League of Myrtle Beach. Bravo, guys--thanks for your community contributions!

Dawg Days at GWU...

Looking beyond the athletic page for a moment, we see that Gardner-Webb University has something special coming up for prospective students in the form of "Dawg Days". The first is September 27th, with four more coming up this academic calendar. Registered students get the full tour and review of life at Gardner-Webb, plus a southern BBQ lunch and a t-shirt as part of the day. So book a date and put Boiling Springs on your high school student's "college tour" loop!

Lacrosse Purposes...

High Point University will soon have a new sport on the scene: women's lacrosse. The Panthers will begin competition in the 2010-11 season, with next year spent in recruiting and building the program. The Big South Conference does not have lacrosse as one of its sports at this time, but interest is growing out there: PC already has WLAX and Liberty is also adding it soon.

It IS an Election Year, After All...

The folks at Liberty University are trying to drum up support for write-in votes in the annual Capital One Mascot Challenge. You have to go through the voting process for the main mascots in the competition, but then you get an opportunity to enter in your support for anyone not in the poll. LU is pushing for Sparky--and claims the Flames' favorite Eagle was tops among the write-in candidates as of last week's numbers.

More to come in Friday's Web-O-Rama!
