Cheerleader outfits too skimpy for Idaho fans

Cheerleaders at the University of Idaho have to get another uniform after fans complained the new uniforms bought just this year were too skimpy.

"A number of fans were concerned that the uniforms were inappropriate," said Bruce Pitman, dean of students. "To be fair, there were a number of fans who liked them."

The outfits that drew controversy, halter tops and short black skirts with white trim, were similar to what an NFL cheerleader might wear, Pitman said.

The levels to which some parents won't stoop


Put this in the "crazy mom" file.

Police say a woman in Wisconsin stole her daughter's identity and posed as a high school student so she could be a cheerleader.

Eagles cheerleader featured in magazine

The Philadelphia Eagles organization received a great honor today.

No, they weren't named Team of the Decade, nor did they get a bye into the Super Bowl.

The honor occured off the field, and didn't involve any of the players. No, this award went to one of the cheerleaders.


In its September issue released Tuesday, Maxim magazine -- in its NFL preview -- named rookie cheerleader Janelle Stangl as one of the league's four "most gorgeous" cheerleaders.


Stangl, shown above in a photo from the Eagles, was the only member of the organization to be mentioned in the issue.
