...time.“I go to like all the major football games,” said roommate Chuang, “I don’t go to watch football. I go to watch Lindsay.”On the field Liles sparkles against the green turf in skintight sequined costumes, including a short white outfit emblazoned with a crimson H that she made out of an old prom dress.
