Some Jills photos from the Houston Chronicle

Just came across this gallery of NFL cheerleaders in the Houston Chronicle at http://www.chron.com/sports/texans/gallery/2011-NFL-cheerleaders-30816/photo-1659136.php and there's a handful of Jills photos in the slideshow, some of which we've seen before

Buffalo Jill of The Week Beth

This week, we take a look at one of the non-conventional rookies on the Buffalo Jills. Beth may be a rookie when it comes to being on the Jills, but 4 1/2 seasons on the Bandettes makes it hard for me to think of her as a rookie...especially when you consider I've known her and Melissa longer than any current Jill except Omarlla. Found on Christina's line dancing alongside Amanda V, Beth may be kind of a good luck charm for the teams she cheers for. In her 3rd season on the Bandettes, the Bandits won the NLL Title. She took the following season off and the Bandits lost in the Eastern finals. After she and the rest of the Bandettes joined the Jills and Jills alumni in Toronto for the big halftime show there last year, Beth got to thinking about what it would be like to join the Jills. It wasn't an easy decision for her to leave the Bandettes and she was actually more concerned about her squadmates reacting to her leaving the Bandettes than she was about making the Jills. She needn't have been concerned on either front as they were all excited for her on her transition and obviously she made the squad. While nothing was a given, I myself would've been shocked had she not made it. After her 1st 3 solid seasons on the Bandettes, when she came back in 2010 after a season off, she jumped right into the role of a co-captain. It remains to be seen how many seasons Beth plans to stick around on the Jills but if she does put in a decent amount of time, becoming a co-captain on this squad is something I can definitely see happening. She's not afraid to lead her squadmates and was seen as kind of a big sister on the Bandettes by her younger squadmates. Beth's secondary photo comes from Lot C before the Bills-Pats game last month. Shown posing for the photo are Beth and Amanda V.

Don't forget to take a look at her and Melissa putting on a great performance at 1st cuts.

NFL Cheerleaders and Alumni Cheer for Breast Cancer Awareness

Last Sunday, 180 Buffalo Bills NFL alumni Cheerleaders strut onto the field and performed with pink pom-poms for Breast Cancer Awareness.


Our own writer for Studio City Patch was among them being a Buffalo Jill back in 1986 to 1988. The oldest alumni involved was 69 years old.

Even though the media only gave it about 10 seconds worth of time, it was a positive experience.

Only a few photos from NFL.com this week...you can see them at http://www.nfl.com/photos/09000d5d822f30b1#id:09000d5d822fa72d Thanks to Sasha at http://ultimatecheerleaders.com/ for seeing the pics before I did this week
Maybe they just realized we had some extra help with pics. Pro Bowl Dan was up for the game as well and got plenty of Jills pics before and during the game as well as a few game pics. We'll see about getting those out soon.

The Jills and Alumni at the Bills-Eagles game

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in honor of it this year, the Jills put on a HUGE, and I do mean HUGE, pregame performance at the Bills' only home game this month. To help promote breast cancer awareness, the Jills brought in 150 Buffalo Jills alumni spanning 6 decades of Jills cheerleaders to perform for the crowd. In addition, all but 5 of the current Jills Ambassadors joined in as well. Prior to the game, after I broke away from my tailgate party, I swung by the 97Rock Tailgate party where Alyssa, Reena, and Jessica were holding court selling and signing calendars and posing for photos.

After some time with them, I swung over to the Shredd and Ragan tailgate party where Amanda F and Ruby were talking with fans in a private party there and Valerie's dance line came out to perform and pose for photos before heading into get set for the performance.
























































Unfortunately, I made it into my seat just after the ladies all made it out of the tunnel but luckily I was able to get some pics of them on the sidelines as they got ready to perform.

After the performance, the entire group, lined up in the scoreboard red zone area in the shape of a giant pink ribbon through player introductions and the National Anthem before returning up the sideline and back through the tunnel.

After the game got going, Reena and Jessica worked on promotions throughout the game, getting their pretty faces on the big screen multiple times while the Jills went to the sidelines and the alumni settled in to watch the Bills go to 4-1 over the Eagles.

Some of the Jills watching the final moments

After the big win, I ran into a few familiar faces. On her way out of the stadium was Jill, who's off crutches and walking again after 2 badly sprained ankles this summer. She's still working on a lengthy rehab program and we're hoping to see her back on the sidelines in about 2 months time. I also ran into Lisa L (2003-04) who enjoyed getting back onto the field again and into Danielle H (1998-2002) who we've seen a lot of lately being one of the most notable Buffalo Jills alumni involved with the Blondes Vs Brunettes organization. After a stop by my tailgate party to pick up Pro Bowl Dan, who also has a great many photos from the game we should be seeing soon, I went over to Danny's restaurant to see several other Jills alumni.
In addition to seeing several alumni I didn't know, I got to talk to Jodi (2000), Jen R (2000-03), Kristine (2002-05), Tammy (1994,95, 2002), Danielle (1998-2002) again, and even one alumnus who didn't dance, Francine (2000-04), who's still very much pregnant but plans to be back in action for next year's Blondes Vs Brunettes events and game.
