Titans Alumni Cheerleaders were also in the Halloween ‘spirit’

Tennessee Titans Cheerleader Alumni/Legends Lindsay and Kerry prior to last Sunday’s game at LP Field

Near the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders locker room last Sunday morning, a group of women in Halloween costumes were standing in the hallways. Certainly they looked like NFL Cheerleaders, but did not seem to be identifiable as the current roster. These still-ready-for-the-sidelines costumed ladies are Titans Cheerleader Alumni, and this season fill the role of Titans Cheerleader Alumni Ambassadors, greeting fans as they enter LP Field. And since it was the Halloween game, and they have not changed since their TTC days, they were back in costume last week.

One was Lindsay, a Titans Cheerleader for six seasons. For Halloween games, Lindsay was an FBI agent during some of her TTC seasons, and recreated her look last week. Lindsay’s devotion and dedication to fans shows, as she enjoys returning as one of the Alumni Ambassadors, saying, “Any time we can be here and support the fans, it’s always fun.” A Gallatin, Tennessee native, Lindsay also enjoys her day job, working in marketing in the wine and spirits industry.

In addition, Kerry cheered for the Titans for four years. “It’s exciting to be asked back,” Kerry says.” Kerry is still in cheer, working as Vice President of Sales for Varsity, a cheerleading/dance apparel company. In addition, Kerry and her husband own three MaggieMoos stores and four MaggieMoos trucks. “And we have two kids, and a partridge in a pear tree,” Kerry smiles. Current TTC Brittni told UltimateCheerleaders last year how she idolized Kerry on Halloween games as a young Titans fan.

Kristina was a two-season Titans Cheerleader, and during her sidelines times, she was nurse and a pirate during her Halloween-themed games. Kristina does the bookkeeping for her husband’s business and is a mom to three-year old and twenty month old daughters. Likely to be dancers, since, as Kristina laughs, “As soon as the music comes on, and they start breaking it down. So that’s a good sign.”

Alumnus Jennifer has continued to be an on-field assistant for the Titans Cheerleaders for years. An engineer for Nissan, Jennifer remains a fan favorite.

And exciting news is that alumnus, two-year Titans Cheerleader, Molly is now the coach of the NHL Predators’ Ice Girls, a group of both dancers and figure skaters, and she just assumed that role a little over a month ago. The Ice Girls were once discontinued but have returned, to the joy of Preds fans.

Happy Halloween from the Titans Cheerleaders of Ashley P’s line

Happy Halloween! Today, we are pleased to feature the Titans Cheerleaders of captain Ashley P’s line. There was a throwback to the 60’s, Mario and Luigi, Poison Ivy, Ashley’s kitten, but the return of Whitney in her catwoman suit showed true dedication for her fans. The cat suit is not meant for Halloween games with a game time temperature of 80, but Whitney kept smiling and dancing. The weather was a bit of a “trick,” but Whitney’s dedication was a “treat” for the Titans fans. Here are more of the Titans Cheerleaders:

TTC Halloween Countdown – Jessi and Anne’s line stays cool as the sidelines heat up

Last Sunday, LP Field was 80 degrees and sunny, lovely, but a bit warm for Titans Cheerleaders who may have planned for more autumnal temperatures when planning their Halloween costumes. Of course captains Anne and Jessi’s line seemed just fine. For one thing, Jessi was devilishly at home in the heat, after all, she is a Florida native.

And Kate’s Hunger Games costume had a plan A (black tights for a cool day) and plan B (shorts if things were warmer), so Kate’s Katniss was right on target. Here are the talented Titans Cheerleaders captained by Anne and Jessi:

TTC Halloween Countdown – Captain Tandra’s line lassos excellent costumes

Titans fans received an early Halloween “treat” last Sunday as the Titans Cheerleaders performed in costume during the second half. Earlier in the year, Titans fans were treated to the fact that Pro Bowl selection Tandra returned for another season on the TTC, and did not ride off into the sunset. But Sunday, Tandra looked ready to ride the range, adorned in chaps. Here are the members of Tandra’s line, including pre-game with some spook-tacular Titans fans:

TTC Halloween countdown – Jena’s line jumps right off the screen

When I heard that sixth year Tennessee Titans Cheerleader and line captain Jena was going to be sporting a “football costume” last Sunday during the game against the Texans at LP Field, I visualized something a bit poofy. Maybe not Violet Beauregarde in Willie Wonka poofy, but something definitely inflatable. But instead, Jena’s and her mom’s creative creation featured a brown corset with white laces, and a “Laces Out” cap, referencing Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

In fact there was a bit of a movie theme throughout Jena’s line. There was a bit of Top Gun,What’s Love Got to Do With It, Backdraft, Steamboat Willie‘s best girl, Captain America, and I Dream of Jeannie. Okay, there has not been a Jeannie feature movie yet, but it most certainly is inevitable.

Here are some of the Halloween finery of the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders, as we go line by line this week, counting down to trick or treat day:

Photos of the Year – December 26

Between Christmas and New Year’s we are showcasing the year’s favorite photos from our contributors.

Of the photos of 2013, this is my favorite. It is easy to be enamored with “hair-tography” but I like this photo of Titans Cheerleader Evony from their Halloween game because the hair, expression, body language, and costume all exemplify super-hero (hence, an Ultimate Cheerleader) to me. Plus Evony is a blast to photograph on the sidelines in general, and despite her “Robin” costume, she is nobody’s sidekick. Evony is a super-hero in her own right.

Thanks to all the cheer directors, cheerleaders, dancers, and media people who went out of their way to help me out in 2013!

Happy Halloween!

The good, the bad, and the scary! Halloween tales from the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders

The Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders annual Halloween costume game is not only a favorite event for the Titans Cheerleaders, but memories of a couple of TTC rookies demonstrate it can be inspiring for aspiring cheerleaders when they attended games when they were younger. “This game is when I thought, ‘I HAVE TO BE ONE OF THOSE,’ because (alumni TTC) Kerry was a police officer, and she is my role model!” rookie Brittni recalled. “I had to try out for Titans. Later Kerry was my UCA director; I always thought she was the coolest in the world. She could be the President!”

Rookie Hannah also shared her memories of Halloween games from her youth. “This is my favorite game!” Hannah exclaimed. “I have a picture when I was younger with Erica in her Halloween costume. And I had braces and was really awkward, I was in like 7th grade.”

Zombie T-Rac still finds a way to get in the way of the Cheerleaders

Before the game, the Titans Cheerleaders recalled some of their own childhood Halloween memories. Katy explained her neighborhood’s “Boo-ing” that would occur each October. “You take a sack of candy, with a big BOO note, that you have been booed by ghouls and goblins,” Katy explained. Kind of like a chain letter filled with candy, the Boo would be anonymously left at the front door after ringing the door bell, and the note would say to BOO three others the same way. “So when the doorbell would ring, you would wonder if you would be ‘booed,’” Katy explained.

Stormi recalled a year her mom forgot to get her a costume, so ingenious mom took the previous year’s princess costume, combined it with the year before that’s mouse costume, and, voila, “Princess Mouse” costume was born!

UltimateCheerleaders asked the Titans Cheerleaders to answer these Halloween-related questions:

– Favorite Childhood costume; and did you want to wear it other places than just Halloween?

– Favorite type of treat to find in your treat bag?

LEAST Favorite type of treat to find in your treat bag?

– Memorable time someone played a trick to scare you (or you scared someone else)

– Most irrational fear (or, a room filled with ____ would make me shriek louder than LP Field after a Titans TD)

Now, there must be some regional differences in candy formulae. Some Titans Cheerleaders listed Milk Duds as their least favorite treat. Well, they must have different Milk Duds in Nashville, because where I am from, they are delectable morsels of infinite deliciousity.

Thanks Titans Cheerleaders for getting into the Halloween spirit! Here are the Halloween edition TTC!

Yalea was 'Esmeralda'

Yalea

Favorite Childhood Costume: A princess costume (did you want to wear it everywhere?) OF COURSE! My mom made me this princess costume and I would not take it off, I was always wearing it. And I would invite people over for fake parties at my house. It fell apart eventually, because I wore it all the time.

Favorite treats: Candy corn pumpkin

LEAST favorite treat: Taffy

Memorable time tricked into being scared or tricking someone else: My friend in college called me from unknown number at 1 in the morning, and I answered the phone and it was just a static noise. I had a window that faced outside to my backyard, then all of sudden I heard some scratching on the window, and my friend had a Michael Myers mask on. I freaked out! I thought, that took some thought! (Did you live on the first floor?) Yes, I lived on the first, floor, (laughs), higher floors be even scarier. Friday the 13th freaks me out, and he knew it.

Most Irrational Fear: Spiders..ah!

Yalea considered going with Super Mario, but made a good choice
