In class, Jason Braswell is tame. But in the ring, he's brutal.

 

ONE: What flag do you hold up when you run across the field or court?

"I used to carry the F. Now I'm either the orange, blue or Gator head flag. The older guys get to carry those because they get to lead the line."

TWO: What's up with the wristbands?

"They're actually white tape. We have to tape up our wrists. They look prtetty cool though, huh?"

THREE: What cheer do you hate?

"I don't like doing cheers. I'm not much a yeller and I'm not disgustingly peppy."

FOUR: Is there tension between the guys and girls, when you do stunts?

I've become desensitized. I look up my parner's skirt all the time and I think nothing of it."

FIVE: Where is your least favorite place to cheer?

"FSU. Last year, three FSU cheerleaders tackled, punched and kicked Albert, our mascot. They heckled us and threw fruit, mostly oranges, and beer bottles at us and our bus."
