40 Yard Line

I traveled back to Austin yesterday. Standing in the boarding line, I over heard a teen-aged girl traveling alone chatting with a married couple, who apparently had older children. The mom's first questions to the girl: "You go to highschool? What division is it? You know, football, 'A', 'double A'?". The first set of questions. About the football program.

The girl let out that she is a member of the drill team. The mom apparently had two daughters on a team, so those questions then flew. The first one: "What yard line are you on?". Drill team yard-lineage is a sort of status symbol. Who knew?
