The Bucks Are Pressing Pretty Hard With This Seniorgee Thing. You Want Fans? Try Winning Some Games

MILWAUKEE -- Clad in a sparkly headband, black leggings and a megawatt smile powerful enough to light all of southeastern Wisconsin, Marlene Russell is like any other Milwaukee Bucks cheerleader as she struts her stuff on the dance floor. Except, of course, that she is 78 years young. And she has great-great-grandchildren. Russell was among more than 30 aspiring dancers ages 60 and older who spent a September Saturday afternoon at the Wisconsin Athletic Club auditioning for the 20 spots on the Bucks' Seniorgee! squad. The group performs at five home games each season -- the first of which will be Nov. 27, when the Bucks host Charlotte. During the tryout, Koepke puts her charges through the paces. "We're gonna shake it down your body and shake, shake, shake," Koepke told them.

Well I think I just solved the mystery of why Jmase loves Wisconsin sports so much. Christ, at halftime of a Bucks game you can grab a MGD, pound a Johnsonville brat, and watch a senior citizen orgy. That's what I call FANtastic. I'm starting to think that the "Detroit Pride" ain't looking so bad these days.

PS - #69 looks fiesty.

PSS - What's up with that dude being out there? I think it's time to put Grandpa down if he starts asking to be a cheerleader at Bucks games.
