Oskee Wow Wow!

For those of you who are not familiar with Oskee Wow Wow...first of all: shame on you! Second, here is a brief history. And, third, shame on you! If you know me at all, you know that Benjamins bleed orange and blue when pricked, they know all the cheers at the football games, and have intense debates whether the "G" in Foellinger is a hard or soft "G."

To help cultivate a love for all things Illini in a third generation, Grandma & Grandpa Benjamin got Shelby a cheerleading outfit!

Here is Shelby finishing a complex tumbling run across the endzone after another Illini touchdown.

Shelby performs the "Three-in-One" during halftime. The "Alma mater" is next. Shelby is crying on the inside because her "Chief" isn't out on the field with her.
