This week, we take a look at one of our rookie dancers as our Jill of The Week. Outgoing Holly can be found on gamedays on Nicole's line between Kristin B and Ayeshia and even when she's not in uniform, she's usually dancing. Anyone who knows her knows that she's pretty much the life of every party and loves to make people laugh. Beyond that, she's fiercely loyal to her friends and sticks by them through thick and thin. In fact, when asked about Holly's best qualities, close friend and former squadmate Dana said that her best qualities are that she is caring, friendly, outgoing, and always ready to help out a friend. She has a huge heart which may be part of why she made the career choice she did. She currently is an X-ray tech and is working towards a career as a heart surgeon! We already have one doctor on the squad in veterinarian Dr. Amanda and in a few years, assuming she sticks around on the squad (hopefully), we'll have Dr. Holly as well! But cutting people open isn't her only focus. Prior to joining the Jills, she cheered all throughout her school years and even won 5 National titles in 9 years as part of an all-star cheerleading squad.

Buffalo Jill of The Week Holly

Chiefs game at Rhino's
With the recent 4-game losing streak that the Bills went on, attendance at the 103.3 The Edge Away game party at Rhino's waned a bit this week and the regulars who missed the event are probably kicking themselves after the Bills woke up and clobbered their old AFL rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 54-31. The crowd was louder at Rhino's for this game than it had been the previous 2 away games with only about half the people. Of course 10 scores by the Bills may have had something to do with that. Well, not to kick someone when they're down, but there are some other reasons that the regulars who missed should be kicking themselves. Part of the promotion includes a squares contest in which winners take home prizes like t-shirts and the like for having the correct score at the end of a quarter. Well, this week, there were a few added bonuses. At the end of the first half, one lucky person walked around with a brand new snowboard from Yuengling, one of the sponsors of the away game parties. The final score even got a grill. And of course, with 10 Bills scores in the game (6 TDs and 4 FGs), there were increased chances to sign up for the 42" LCD TV that is to be won at the end of the season.
Another reason for a person to kick himself for missing the party...the Buffalo Jills were, as usual, on hand for the 1st half of the game. 3rd year vet and 1st year co-captain Christina made her first appearance at Rhino's this season and rookie Ambassador Brandi made her 2nd appearance at Rhino's this season.
Next up, you can meet some of the Jills as part of Operation Rock Out Hunger as a few of them will be appearing with 97Rock's DJ Jickster at Rosa's in Cheektowaga as he collects for the Food Bank of Western NY.
Then, if anyone is truly dedicated on getting an early jump on their Black Friday shopping, the place to be is the Fashion Outlets of Niagara from 10pm to midnight on Thanksgiving night. The stores don't open until midnight but Jickster and the Jills will be hosting a tailgate party beforehand.
Saturday night, the focus turns to the Bandettes for an evening as they make their first public appearance as the new 2009 squad. The World's Largest Disco is the place to be if you want to meet 8 of last year's squad returning along with a pair of returnees from the past as well as 5 new rookies. Tickets are sold out for this Buffalo Convention Center event but they can be had from scalpers and places such as eBay and StubHub.
Sunday, the Buffalo Jills return to the Ralph for a post-Thanksgiving matchup between the Bills and the San Francisco 49ers. Meet members of the Ambassador Squad inside the Fieldhouse and at tailgate parties thrown by 97Rock and 103.3 The Edge before watching the dancers on the field and on the sidelines throughout the game cheering on the Bills and showing why the Jills dance routines are almong the hottest in the NFL.

Buffalo Jill of The Week Ashley
On gamedays, you'll find a stunning redhead on Omarlla's line between Omarlla and Lisa dancing up a storm, something she's been doing for the last 18 years. Ashley is in her rookie season with the Jills and her outgoing and friendly nature has made her a perfect fit on the squad, like she was made for the Jills. You can almost never find Ashley without a smile and she finds a way to make the best of any situation or, in the case of Buffalo, any weather. If it's summer, she'll spend her free time in the water swimming and tanning on the beach. If it's winter, she'll spend her time on the slopes snowboarding. Also, don't let her small size fool you...she's no pushover as she's spent some time working to master the art of judo. You can read more about Ashley at http://buffalojills.net/bios/ashley.html

Monday Night Football pics
After a game on National TV in which the Bills' passing game and coaching were putrid to say the least, we won't waste time talking about the game on the field. Instead, all the comments on this will be about the ladies who performed like World Champions from the pregame through the end of the night, the Buffalo Jills.
Prior to the game, as usual, we could find the Jills Ambassadors at the big tailgate parties thrown by their chief sponsors from Citadel Broadcasting. Brandi, Liz, Katherine, and Sarah handled the crowds at the 103.3 The Edge Tailgate party while Danielle, Keisha, Amanda F, and Vincenza were pretty swamped at the 97Rock Tailgate party selling calendars and pictures with the fans. With Monday Night Football going on, the Fieldhouse was closed and while the official Bills pregame show was being broadcast right next to them, Laura and Alison posed for pictures with some of the fans at the Molson Ultimate Tailgate Party. But the Jills were far from done as the dancers got into the tailgate party as well with a couple of rousing dance performances an hour prior to kickoff of the game over on the far end of Lot C from Laura and Alison. Prior to taking the stage, they even posed with a few of the fans who were nearby waiting to see them perform.
After wrapping up at the tailgate parties, the Jills went back inside the stadium for the game where Laura and Alison spent the evening accompanying the Bills' mascot, Billy Buffalo.
After Eileen took the field to deliver the game ball, the dancers joined her onfield for a pregame performance before heading to the sidelines to help keep the crowd pumped up when the team faltered on the field.
Next up for the Jills, we have the 103.3 The Edge Away game party at Rhino's on the 23rd where we'll have a few of the Jills on hand to cheer on the Bills against the Chiefs alongside a good-sized group of diehard fans. Drink specials, free wings at halftime, and lots of prizes.
After that, Western NY gets to tailgate with 97Rock's Jickster at the Niagara Fashion Outlets on Thanksgiving Night from 10-midnight before the stores open for Black Friday. And anyone who knows Jickster knows that he doesn't do an on-location appearance like this without some of the Jills. Only in Buffalo will people tailgate for shopping!
The Jills next take the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium on November 30th to cheer on the Bills against the San Francisco 49ers.
