It’s hard to keep an act going for over 50 years. There was a member in the early days of scatter that led the “LSJU organized...” cheer who did it batshit crazy on the top of the small wall in front of the stands. There were clever stunts and halftime shows that actually were funny. Instead of the old school songs there were Stones, Creedence and The Dead. The Old Guard didn’t like it but you couldn’t argue with the energy.

Now what’s dead is the energy.

Yellow River.

That guy was also at MBB, Track and Field, Baseball and M-Swimming events and did the same cheer, he was the base drummer (the big drum); he was short and stocky with good muscle definition and sported a "DutchBoy" hair cut.  His best performance was at a dual swim meet between Stanford and #1 usc.  Stanford's swim program was getting stronger to the point to challenging for NC.  At a break during the meet this kid from the band does the cheer, getting all the Stanford fans jacked up and at the completion of the cheer he does a back flip into the pool (this was the old pool), some usc swimmers who were warming up in the pool were a bit shaken!  The place went bonkers!
