THE COOLEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL HELMETS IN THE NAIA
With college football kicking off on August 23rd in the divisions covered here at Balladeer’s Blog the time seemed right to present a look at the coolest football helmets in NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) football. Feel free to let me know whose helmets you feel I left out or who should have been rated higher or lower.
11. DORDT COLLEGE DEFENDERS
Location: Sioux Center, IA
Comment: The NAIA has the Defenders, the NJCAA has the Avengers and Canadian college football boasts the X-Men! Marvel Comics fans have absolutely no excuse not to get into college football.
10. OKLAHOMA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY BISON
Location: Shawnee, OK
Comment: Now here’s a helmet that’s as grand and glorious as the mighty beast the team is named for! OBU is known for getting things done with its sports programs so even though they’re still a little new to gridiron action look for them to make noise sooner rather than later.
9. BETHANY COLLEGE SWEDES
Location: Lindsborg, KS
Comment: Like the Florida Gators the Bethany Swedes have one of those iconic helmets with stylish lettering and an overall eye-catching appeal. This helmet looks even better topping the Swedes’ blue jerseys and gold pants. Continue reading

THE SWEDE LIFE
As Brent Musberger would say “You are looking live” at the 2010-2011 Cheerleading and Dance recruits for the Bethany College Swedes. The names of the ladies in this baker’s dozen are as follows:
Top Row: Brianna Hoffman, Leanna Streit, Kelsi Pomeroy, Kaila Sanders, Tessa Peters (seen here showing how tough she is by just daring motorists to hit her), Jenny Dwyer
Bottom Row: Darrian Wannow, Kira Farmer, Rhyanna Bruner, Cari Nelson, Vanessa Anderson, Lacey Jones, Jenna Rivers (seen here clutching her gunshot wound – Cheer and Dance is more dangerous than football apparently!)
Cheer and Dance fans will be delighted to hear that since more than 50 NAIA member institutions will be participating in Cheer and Dance competition for the 2010-2011 academic year the NAIA could hold it’s first National Championship tournament for the sport as early as the spring of 2012. And with the world supposedly coming to an end later that year the winner of that championship will have all eternity to bask in that glory!
