Oregon Cheerleaders: The Best Part of the Rose Bowl

It's the holy day of college football today as sports fans get to enjoy six great bowl games, including a fantastic showdown between Wisconsin and Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

But while you football purists will be watching the Rose Bowl for the uncanny display of athleticism and offensive explosions from both sides, plenty more will also be watching for the Oregon cheerleaders.

The Ducks have had some of the hottest cheerleaders this country has to offer for years. So let's break down the biggest reasons they are going to be the best part of the Rose Bowl.

They're Cute

Let's get the obvious one out of the way first. Just look at her. So cute.

I'm not saying that LaMichael James and Russell Wilson aren't attractive in their own right, but they just don't do it for me like the Oregon cheerleaders.

They Have Cool Uniforms, Too

Oregon gets a lot of press about their uniforms, and rightly so. The Nike pro combats are sleek, edgy and eye-popping.

However, not to be outdone, the Oregon cheerleaders have got their own pro-combat unis that they break out from time to time.

I'm not sure if they'll be showing them off at the Rose Bowl, but I think it's worth pointing out that they can hang with the guys in this department.

One More Look

Yeah, I'd probably go far enough as to say that I like these uniforms even better than the ones Oregon is going to be wearing at the Rose Bowl.

They Flash Their...Nevermind

You may have heard the very big important breaking news earlier this season that whenever Oregon fans, players and, yes, cheerleaders are throwing up the Oregon "O," they're actually flashing the sign for vagina.

Hey, don't shoot me. I'm just the messenger.

They're Good at What They Do

Oregon cheerleaders aren't just here to dance and shake things for our amusement. They're actually athletes.

I'm not saying cheerleading is a sport, but you better believe these girls are athletes. It's not easy to stand on some dude's hands, keep your balance, do tricks and still manage to look this good.

They Like to Party

This is the Oregon cheerleading squad out on the lake with the Ducks' mascot. Totally casual, nothing posed or anything like that. This is just a normal Saturday afternoon.

Okay, I'm done pretending this was anything other than a photoshoot, but they still seem to be having plenty of fun. Man, I would love to be on that boat.

They Look Better in Bikinis Than the Football Players

Now this is just speculation, I've never seen LaMichael James or Monte Ball in a bikini, but I think it's a safe enough bet that the Oregon cheerleaders would take that one running away.

Not actually running away, though. I don't want to scare them off. They're good where they are right here.

They're Sassy

Brittany Domstrand is not afraid to take on the naysayers who think that cheerleaders aren't athletic or that cheerleading isn't hard.

She challenges you to think of another group of people who could dance for four hours straight. It seems like she's had way too many people knock cheerleading in front of her. Take it easy there Britt.

I do like the sassiness though.

My favorite part of this video is her talking about wanting to be a special needs teacher right as they show all the cheerleaders doing a booty roll.

Did I Mention That They're Cute?

Savannah Wolfe may be my new favorite Oregon cheerleader.

This Hawaiian beauty likes movies, beaches and hiking. Oh em gee, so do I. We have so much in common Savannah!

Seriously, though, even if you do watch the Rose Bowl today for the actual game, you'll still probably get plenty of great cheerleader action, so everybody will win.

That's my bold prediction for the game.
