memphis gameday tiger style Tiger athletic squads are fortunate to have so many diff erent groups behind them each and every game. Th ere is no question that it takes a large group of people to back the Tigers and to make each home game a fun and exciting atmosphere for all. Standing on the sidelines rain or shine are the cheerleading and pom pon squads that truly create excitement for the fans. Th e groups can be seen early ever Saturday before the game riding on the trailer above TOM III, the Tiger mascot. Also part of the cheerleading squad, Pouncer can be seen energizing the crowds from the playing fi eld and through the stands. Another energetic group are the Tigerettes, which won a gold medal in the 2006 Intercollegiate Championship of Baton Twirling. 6 Not far from the sidelines, but obviously one of the easily recognizable spirit groups in the stands, the U of M band works hard each and every game to provide entertainment for the fans and to give the team that extra boost of energy aſt er each score. Th e Mighty Sound of the South, as the band is known, consists of just over 200 members. 2010 Memphis Football Experience
