I have to agree with that last post -- didn't see much love from Power towards the southern CA teams or any other teams for that matter in Anaheim. Guess a 20 point lead will tend to do that to you. Keep spreadin the love in Vegas too Power, all of us can use the encouragement. And we'll all try to do the same. Right?

I don't remember all that sportsmanship and love after Americn won last year either???

If you paid attention to the facts you would know two thins

first, Power had the second highest combined score in the regular competition (547) cheerforce small coed had the highest (551) so they didn't "have a lead going into the super six"

and two- the original scores were erased and they started over in the super six. noone had an advantage

i was sitting on the power side and they cheered very loudly for every team in the supersix

come on pay attention before you come on here an dmake accusations

I noticed the same but thought that I would rain on their Love Fest. But, it is true, where was all of this support before? I noticed that the owner made a remark to Cheerforce commenting that they take what they experienced there back to Southern California and encouraging others in So Cal to do the same. Well, charity starts at home. How about you practice what you preach. But please, don't go into Vegas patronizing other teams, they will now the difference. I view his comments as self serving and down right contrary to everything that I have ever seen POWER do and I've watched them for years. And regarding cheering on American. Why not, they already have their paid bid. Again, self serving.

Did you all know your total scores before going into the final six or just your 1st day scores, which did show Power being ahead of Cheerforce?

And I am also offended by the current attitude. It implies that Power has been doing this all along and come on, we all know otherwise. Is this the new and improved Nor Cal cheerworld or what? I don't think that you will see this happening with the So Cal teams unless they truly do wish others well. It's not just for show if it happens, it's for real.

Oh well the one message that still managed to stay positive and someone had to go an ruin it. Leave our love fest alone I for one enjoyed hearing how much everyone enjoyed Sunday night it was great.. Please stop all the negativity. Sorry if it can't always be like this but for one night it was so can't you just accept it for what is is and let it go.

Sounds like you would enjoy living in Camelot. It's so funny how some people like living in the dark. When the lights are turned back on, they get upset and call it "negativity." That word seems to be the new "shut up" for the politically correct and when it's spoken, everyone is to shut up.

Power never claimed to be anything. John Hebert simply stated that the night was magical how everyone cheered for each other. I do not think that he said that Power was the one who started it or should take credit for it. EVERYONE SHOULD take credit for their behavior for that night because everyone particiapted in it. Cheerofrce, CHeergyms, Power etc. As far as those two "dads" you are talking about, I highly doubt it and it was most lilkely made up. You should of went with the moms-WAY more beleivable. I am sick of everyone attacking everyone for everything. Power won that bid whether you like it on not. They will be enjoying florida and THEY will be friendly with American, Cheerofrce and whoever else goes there- last year was an experince of a lifetime and I expect that this year will be as well.

I am going to start the "LOVEFEST" right now- American good luck this weekend. When we saw you in Las Vegas in December we were blown away. You guys are outstanding.

The Dad's not the Mom's did that. Sorry to burst your opinion but it wasn't the Mom's. At least on that Saturday it wasn't.

What happened to the love fest thing and all of the fantisic support? Now you will be friendly towards American. Well!

Wish it was more like Camelot but sadly.... Oh well. And your right next time you read the word negativity take the hint and ________ (Fill in the blank). I still choose to look at the positives that I witnessed this weekend and when my child signs on to this message board I'd hope that the kind of mean spirited and NEGATIVE post would not be so prevelant. Call me a dreamer....
