Social media got excited after a “Goth cheerleader” appeared on TV.

A goth cheerleader went viral following her appearance on television during the weekend’s bowl game action.

There are several bowls taking place this weekend, including the Wasabi Fenway Bowl, Pop-Tarts Bowl, Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl, Isleta New Mexico Bowl, TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, Kinder’s Texas Bowl, Go Bowling Military Bowl, and Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.

One star player pulled out of the Fenway Bowl after one play, despite appearing fully healthy.

There’s also plenty of NFL action to be had. Following the league’s Christmas Day schedule, which featured three games, there will also be two games this Saturday.

Florida International University played the University of Texas at San Antonio in the Responder Bowl on Friday, setting the stage for one cheerleader to trend.

The dancer, who has been named “FIU goth cheerleader” on social media, was shown on camera, which caused a proper stir online. The Panthers suffered a 57-20 defeat at the hands of the Roadrunners, but it appears they won in one department.

Whether the woman is actually a cheerleader or part of another crew, such as a band, remains unknown. Even so, she was the talk of the night.

“FIU HAS A GOTH CHEERLEADER,” an account shared.

“She could hit me with her car and I’d apologize,” someone confessed.

“Is she goth or does she just have black hair? Asking for a friend,” one user inquired.

“Recruitment spike at FIU,” someone else predicted.

Meanwhile, first-year Panthers head coach Willie Simmons was in good spirits after the loss to UTSA. Simmons led the school to its fifth winning season ever and its most wins since 2018.

“Super proud of this team!” he wrote on Facebook.

“Not many people thought we’d even be bowling year 1, but the young men in that locker room defied odds all year long to get us there. Definitely not the ending we wanted, but it doesn’t diminish all that this team has accomplished!”

FIU went 7-6 this season, as did UTSA.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
