Would Busted Coverage be what it is today without the Oregon cheerleaders? No chance. I got to thinking the other day that it has been 4+ years since I published photos of legendary cheerleader Amanda Pflugrad, recognized as the first face of Oregon cheerleading in the Internet era, partying on a boat in her bikini.

The Oregon cheerleader bikini photos, minus the booze, have rolled in ever since. Now there is a yearly visit to Triangle Lake where the girls get into bikinis for team building.

Try naming another school that has its mascot driving a boat full of cheerleaders in bikinis. You can’t.
