Buffalo Jill of The Week Nicole L

This week, we take a look at 4th year vet Nicole L as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Dancing on one end of Omarlla's line next to Katrina, she started her Jills career as a member of the Ambassador Squad alongside 2 of her closest friends, Alyssa and Kristen. Dubbed "The Three Musketeers," they've been close since their freshman year of college but after their rookie season together, Nicole and Kristen switched to dance in 2010 with Kristen retiring after the season. Out of the three, Nicole is easily the quietest and is a perfect example of something I've been saying about the Jills for years. Women are supposed to lose their looks as they age but that doesn't seem to hold true in the case of the Jills. Quite frequently, girls on the Jills only grow more stunning over the years and that is definitely Nicole. In fact, after tryouts this spring, I was talking to one of her former squadmates and she was blown away by how incredible Nicole looks these days. Thankfully for Buffalo's sidelines, Nicole already had a job lined up in bank management before she finished getting her college degree so she can keep cheering on the Bills for several more years if she desires.

Shown in a photo taken just prior to the squad heading out to perform at halftime are Jessica, Kirsten, Ashley, and Amanda. With tryouts for the 2013 squad happening this weekend, we'll find out soon how many of these ladies will be back in action with the Bandettes as the Bandits host the Minnesota Swarm on January 13th in their Home Opener.
