Cheerleaders hope to establish game traditions

By Amanda Sullivan | November 10, 2010

Cheerleaders stand on the sidelines of the E. Claiborne Robins Stadium and face people who have no allegiance to the University of Richmond yet: high school football recruits. "When a game environment isn't optimal, I think the cheerleaders are always quick to be blamed," Richmond cheerleading coach Erin Martin said. Martin said the cheerleaders' position during games served as a challenge, and there were only so many ways they could get fans to cheer. Senior captain Jayme Epstein said it was difficult to change the raw emotions during a game. "We don't really know how to get people excited and on their feet when our team scores a touchdown," she said.
