The squad incorporated unique “D-fins” signs in the place of traditional Defense signs to honor their football team's defensive unit, popularly known as the Landsharks. The chant lit up the crowd as they cued a response from the fan-filled arena. The Ole Miss Rebels made a real splash with great use of cheers and chants incorporating a fun school tradition.

Their stage presence, use of space, and the overall performance of the all girl team earned them the first-ever awarded title of Game Day National Champs — Brava, ladies!
