Page 2 Scott Browning (Ohio State '81) took over as Edinboro's 13th head coach on January 5,2006. He was certainly no stranger to Fighting Scot football, however, serving as an assistant coach for the previous twenty years. While at Edinboro he has coached the offensive linemen, defensive backs and running backs, along with serving as the offensive coordinator. Browning became the first head coach at Edinboro to debut with a wm since Bill McDonald in 1969 when the Fighting Scots opened the 2006 season with a 28-14 win at West Chester. He went on to lead Edinboro to a 6-5 finish, the most wins ever by a first-year coach. Browning, see pages 6-7.) (Formore on Scott West Chester a 28-14 defeat in a PSAC crossover game. The Fighting Scots used a familiar formula in the win, with a domi­ nating defense and an efficient offense. Ranked number one in the coun­ try a year ago in rushing defense, Edinboro limited the Golden Rams to just 49 yards rushing. Overall, Edinboro outgained WCU 340 yards to 279, while holding the ball for 35 minutes and 49 seconds. Edinboro forced six turnovers, all in the second half to erase a 7-3 halftime deficit. Redshirt freshman QB Trevor Hams hooked up with Ryan Valasek for a pair of scores in the third quarter, covering 15 and 29 yards. Ulysee "Spud" Davis added a 7-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter to give the Boro a 22-7 lead. West Chester would pull within 22-14 with just under six minutes to play but any comeback hopes were dashed when freshman CB Houston Brown picked off a pass and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown.

In the short time I have been Edinboro's President, I have been impressed with the excitement and enthusiasm I have felt on campus, especially among our athletes and coaches. This year, for the first time in the school's history, we have artificial turf and lighting at Sox Harrison Stadium. McComb Fieldhouse has been extensively remodeled and now features, among other improvements, one of the finest weight rooms in the state. We have adopted a new message for Edinboro: "Great Things Happen Here." That greatness applies to athletics as well, as it goes hand in hand with the academic development of our students. I have participated in athletics for most of my life. Prior to coming to Edinboro, I coached the men's and women's squash teams at St. Eawrence University, including at the national tournament. At Edinboro, we are focused on raising our academic and athletic standards campus wide. As we grow, we will take the University not only to the next level, but to the level beyond that. We believe that everything we do at Edinboro should reflect the excellence of the institution. I invite you to become a part of this new and "Great" era at Edinboro University.

Dedicated in 1965, the stadium honors the memory of B. Regis "Sox" Harrison, the head football and basketball coach at Edinboro University for 34 years. Sox Harrison was the key figure in the building of Edinboro's athletic program, unselfishly devoting 34 years of service to the University as an athletic director, coach and physical education instructor. Appropriately, he was the first member inducted into the Edinboro Athletic Hall of Fame in 1982. Harrison coached the Fighting Scot football team from its inception in 1926 to 1938, the returned to guide the gridders in 1941 and '42.

A year later he was named the offensive coordinator, and the or two about the Edinboro football tradition. With twenty years imder his belt as an assistant coach, he was all too familiar with the glory days of Edinboro football. So it didn't take him long to restore some lost tradi­ tions when he took over as the 13th head football coach of the Fighting Scots on January 5,2006. Most prevalent was the return to the "Boro", the common name the football team was referred to during the 1980's and '90's, some of the most successful periods in Edinboro football history.

That victory, on the road at West Chester be­ tween a pair of 2005 NCAA playoff teams, also displayed Browning's propensity as a showboat gambler. The Fighting Scots went for it on fourth down four times, and made it three times. "1 am very pleased to announce the promotion of Scott Browning to the position of head football coach at Edinboro Univer­ sity," stated then President Dr. Frank G. Pogue at the time. "Scott has been a member of the Edinboro coaching staff for 20 years.

Now he can add one more accomplishment to that list: College Football Hall of Fame inductee. The honor was given to Flutie this past May, and ensures that his lasting legacy will be as one of the greatest college quarterbacks of all time. Flutie broke more Boston College records than you can count on both hands, and in the minds of college football fans, he single-handedly put BC on the map. Applications for admission to Boston College shot up so high the year after Flutie led the Eagles to the Cotton Bowl, the influence of NCAA athletics on college applicants is now referred to as the “Flutie Effect." After his senior season, the man who wore #22 graduated with the most all-time total offense in a college career (11,054 yards) and the most all-time college career passing yards (10,579). That year he won the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award, the Walter Camp Award, the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award and the lists goes on. To top it all off, he excelled in his classes. He's the only player to ever be nominated for both a Heisman and a Rhodes Scholarship. But Flutie's four years as an Eagle are indelibly defined by a single moment: the Hail Mary pass that gave Boston College a 47-45 victory over Miami as time expired on the day after Thanksgiving, 1984. Flutie scrambling, the seconds ticking away, the improbable distance of the pass, Gerry Phelan (Flutie's roommate) making the catch, the announcer screaming in the booth, Flutie running down the field to celebrate. It's one of those college football moments that transcends fan affiliation and carries a vague sense of historical greatness. But it didn’t take long for the young quarterback to discover that the greatness of this one moment was both a blessing and a curse. While Flutie had been propelled to household name status, he was forced to play in this one moment's shadow for the rest of his career. Not that the 5-foot-9, 175-pound man from Natick let that phase him one bit. As long as he has played the game, Flutie has approached every chance to step onto the field as a chance to prove himself to skeptics. You’re too small. That was what they told nine-year-old Doug Flutie, who at 63 pounds, was under the minimum required weight to play on his brother's Pee Wee team. Flutie heard the same tune when he got to high school, and he heard it again four years later, even after graduating from Natick High as an All-League QB with a missile-launcher arm. Boston College was the only Division 1 school to offer Flutie a scholarship. He was short for a quarterback, but knew how to see the field and was lightning quick out of the pocket. He had potential. Flutie rose quickly through the ranks. First he worked his way up to the fourthstring QB spot as a freshman in training camp. Then the starting quarterback went down with an injury before the season started, and the second and third stringers couldn’t find a way to win any of the team's first three games. BC decided to give Flutie a shot. Two starts later, he threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-6 win over Army. From that moment on, Flutie was the man. Until he got to the pros, that is, when the whole business of proving that he was big enough to play started all over again. But while Flutie certainly had his detractors over the years, there's no question that he is loved in every city that he ever played, from Boston to San Diego to Buffalo to Calgary. For College Football Hall of Fame voters, the choice was obvious, and the QB from Natick was happy to accept. “My whole life of being the little guy and having a little chip on my shoulder, from year to year trying to prove myself, and at the end of the day to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame is a very special honor for me," he said at a press conference the day that the award was announced. Flutie is now going into his first year as a college football analyst for ABC and ESPN. If his other rookie performances are any indication, he’ll do just fine. The play calling of announcers Dan Davis and Gino Cappelletti is part of what makes Flutie's Hail Mary one of the most memorable college football moments of all time. This is the transcript of the final moments of that Boston College vs. Miami game. DAVIS ■ Here’s your ballgame, folks, as Flutie takes the snap...He drops straight back...has some time...

CBuena Vista Home Entertainment. Inc. Greats: Catching up with Bruce Smith Two decades after terrorizing quarterbacks as a Hokie, Bruce Smith has been carried back to old Virginia. By Jeff Cummins m Bruce Smith was ahead of the curve as a pass rusher in the early to mid 1980s. He had size, strength and speed. A little known fact, however, is that much of his success came from the moves he learned from playing basketball and from using the mental strategy of a baseball pitcher. Smith utilized the agility he learned playing basketball to evade blockers, rather than merely relying on his ability to overpower them. He also used the strategy of a pitcher to manipulate the blocker. Smith would use one move several times before using a different one to surprise the offensive lineman. “Yeah, I think I was somewhat ahead of the curve," Smith says. “People think of me as having been a great football player, but in truth, I got a tremendous amount of my moves from playing basketball. Quickness, agility and having great balance, I got all that from playing basketball. So I attribute a lot of my success to playing basketball. It allowed me to be able to use moves that 99 percent of the guys on the playing field wouldn't even attempt, wouldn't even think about." Smith says that today, Julius Peppers of the Carolina Panthers, who played both football and basketball at North Carolina, reminds him most of how he played at Virginia Tech. “In my particular case, I would always think of rushing the quarterback as being like a Major League pitcher. I'm going to keep him off-balance," Smith says, referring to his strategy against offensive tackles. “I'm not going to let him know what I'm thinking or what moves I'm planning on using. I'm going to set him up. I'm going to give him the speed rush, and then when I get him leaning. I'm going to spin on him, and once you spin on him, he's going to say, ‘OK, I can't jump out there as quick anymore,' and that will set up your ability to get around the corner, slap his hand, duck that shoulder up underneath and get leverage on him. So you give a fastball, another fastball, and then you throw him a curve, and then you throw him a slider. Then you've got him thinking, instead of going on his particular pass sets that he was taught. Then you've got him. Once you get him thinking instead of listening to the play that's called and saying, ‘OK, it's a five-step drop. I've got to slide out two yards or three yards.' Once you get him thinking, if he starts running out trying to catch you, it's all over." Smith played 19 years in the National Football League, earning 12 Pro Bowl selections and leading the Buffalo Bills to four Super Bowls. After retiring from professional football, Smith is right back in Virginia, where he consults on many commercial development projects, not far from where he played college football.

Ultimately, Smith saw the future opening up for Virginia Tech, and decided it was the right school for him, a decision that changed Virginia Tech’s fortunes considerably. knowledge along the way. He lists coach Bill Dooley as his biggest influence during college. “Another game that stood out was when I played against West Virginia and Jeff Hostetler was the quarterback,” Smith says. “I broke through the line of scrimmage and got an incredible hit on Hostetler. He laid there for a second, got up, took one step and collapsed, and they had to take him off the field." “I think it’s certainly going to be an emotional day, an inspiring day. You will see the whole Hokie nation, as well as individuals from around the country giving support to this university, to the victims, to everyone who was affected, all of our Hokie family. It’s going to be a tremendous outpouring of support. I’ll tell you, that first game, I plan on being there.” ^ “Bill taught me valuable lessons of being able to distinguish the difference between playing hurt and playing injured,” Smith says. “Certainly, you can play with some degree of pain, but you can “I saw the potential," Smith says of Virginia Tech. “I saw that they not play injured. There was one particular situation in which I had an up and rising athletic program. It was one of the top schools sprained my ankle in a game and during the week I couldn’t practice because my ankle was still in the country, and it was in a beautiful swollen. He pulled me aside and he said setting, located in the mountains in “(The first game) is in vague terms, ‘I understand you can’t Virginia, and that was a big factor for going to be a tremendous me, being able to stay in the state of outpouring of supportpractice, your ankle is swollen, but what are you going to do come Saturday?’ I Virginia and get a quality education and 1'11 tell youi that first play some big-time football, but it was game-i I plan on being said, ‘Well, I’ll be there for you.'

Smith’s devotion to his alma mater is obvious, and it’s amplified Using his quickness and an array of moves. Smith sacked Duke by the tragedy that took place last spring. Like so many people, quarterback Ben Bennett four times in one game, but there was he appreciates the outpouring of support for the victims, and he’s something about Smith's play that a mere recitation of statistics looking forward to the day when the football team takes the field for its first game. doesn’t capture. Those impact plays were vital to Smith’s selection as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1985 NFL Draft, and for his 2006 selection to the College Football Hall of Fame.

Ryan is coming off an AllACC first-team season during which he completed 419 of 693 passes for 4,806 yards and 25 touchdowns while also running for nine scores, a campaign made more astounding by the fact Ryan played half of the season with an injury. Healthy now, the senior captain is looking forward to 2007. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED: Tell us about the upcoming season. You have a new coaching staff that is very offensively minded. MATT RYAN: First of all I'm very excited to work with coach Jeff Jagodzinski and coach Steve Logan [new offensive coordinator]. Any time you’re a quarterback and the coach says he wants to push the ball downfield, your eyes light up and you’re excited. Jagodzinski said this spring that he expects you to call some ofyour own plays at times. How do you feel about that? I think it’s exciting when coaches put a lot of responsibility on the quarterback and his decisions he makes on the field. When you watch quarterbacks in the NFL, a lot of what they do is change plays. It’s a challenge, it really is, but at the same time it s something as a senior and having been around BC for a while, that I really relish and want. What have you been working on this offseason? The first part of the off-season was getting healthy. I had surgery on my foot to repair a broken bone. The rehab went well. From there, it s getting back in shape, trying to put on a little weight for the season and working on my mobility. Inside the pocket, being able to move as quickly as possible is really important. And I’ve been learning the offense. I think all of those things combined make for a pretty busy offseason, but one that I hope will make for a productive season. Playing with the foot injury last year, how did you do it? I think that football is a tough game and you have to be a tough player to play this game. The way I see it, I was just doing what everybody else does. So many guys in different positions play in pain and don’t get the notoriety that the quarterback position gets. We had a bunch of guys on our team who played banged up and I was just one of those guys. It’s just the mentality you have to have as a football player. If you can go, you go. And your steeliness in overtime? Your teammates call you “Matty Ice" for your cool demeanor on the field. If you stay tough and stay focused through it at the end of the game, a lot of times it will turn in your favor. Winning that way, it makes you feel like any time you go out there, you can make plays. It doesn’t always happen, but at least you have the feeling you can do it. Can you look ahead to your competition in the Atlantic Coast Conference? I think it’s going to be really tough. You have a lot of people returning in conference and a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. We have some new coaching staffs coming into the ACC as well..''! think it’s going to be a tough season *for everybody. A lot of the games are going to be close. One of those new staffs is your former coach Tom C’Brien, who’s now at North Carolina State. How will it feel to face the man who recruited you? It’s definitely going to be different to see Tom O’Brien on the sideline. I wish him all the best down in NC State and I was fortunate to have four great years with him. But come Game Two, I am going to be out there trying to beat NC State with everything we’ve got and I know he’ll be doing the same to us. You’ve got some pretty good receivers to work with. We have some really talented wide receivers coming back from last year, such as Brandon Robinson and Kevin Challenger. I’m glad to have both of them back. It takes a lot of pressure off me when you have some really good receivers out there. What’s your most memorable college highlight? Hopefully the best is yet to come. But probably my most memorable moment would have to be coming out in the first game I played in that I threw a touchdown pass, at Temple in 2004, because I’m from Philadelphia and it was the first time I saw significant playing time. I went down there and threw my first touchdown pass. A lot of family and friends from back home were at the game.4l Only a rookie and already the most imposing player in its league. he full-sized T 7-passenger MERCEDES-BENZ GL.

EJ LOUISVILLE (12-1) By David Malamut 51 DSC (11-2 in 2006) U Jj □7 Senior QB Brian Brohm gave Louisville fans something to smile about when he decided to return to school. Look for Brohm to vastly improve on the 16 touchdown passes he completed in 2006. New coach Steve Kragthrope’s defense is one of, if not the best in the conference. The Nov. 8th game at West Virginia will probably decide the Big East. □A Junior RB P.J. Hill had a great 2006, rushing for 1569 yards and 15 touchdowns. A good start to this season, and Hill will be a serious Heisman candidate. The Badgers have a difficult schedule and must play at Penn State and at Qhio State, but fortunately they are returning nine starters from last year’s offense. So if the wide receivers can perform, Wisconsin may produce the Big Ten’s best offense. The Trojans return 10 defensive starters, and if they can catch up with the offense then use will dominate all of college football. Last season's standout wide receivers, Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith, have moved on to the NFL, but QB John David Booty and running back C.J. Gable will make sure the Trojan offense does not skip a beat. Coach Pete Carroll looks like he will be fielding another team with BCS title aspirations. El WISCONSIN (12-1) El TEXAS (10-3) □E QB Colt McCoy had a fantastic sophomore season last year, throwing for 2570 yards with 29 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. He may be the early Heisman Trophy frontrunner. The Longhorns have to travel to Texas A&M on Nov. 23rd, but get Oklahoma at home. It would not be a big surprise to see Texas atop the Big 12 all year. 51 OKLAHOMA (11-3) PI Q LJ J 5J LSU(ii-2) n 3 QB Matt Flynn will have big shoes to fill if he wants to replace the top pick in the NFL draft, JeMarcus Russell. Also playing on Sundays are both starting receivers from last year’s team, Dwayne Bowe and Craig Davis. The Tigers' defense, led by the nation’s top defensive player, Glen Dorsey, will have to carry the team through a tough SEC. The loss of Adrian Peterson hurts the offense, but the good news is all four receivers are back, and four of the starting five offensive linemen are also returning. The Sooners play at Texas and at Texas A&M; if they can win both those games, a Big 12 title will be in their future. Circle the Sept. 8th matchup versus Miami, it could be an early season gem. 51 RUTGERS (11-2) El WEST VIRGINIA (11-2) |i M Running back juggernaut Steve Slaton is a legitimate Heisman candidate, and may be the nation’s best offensive player. Alongside QB Pat White, West Virginia could have the most explosive offense in all of college football. The Mountaineers face Rutgers in NJ on Qct. 27th, and host Louisville on Nov. 8th. These key matchups will be West Virginia’s two toughest games in an otherwise weak schedule. The Scarlet Knights have a top Heisman candidate at running back in Ray Rice. If the defensive line can get and stay healthy then it could be the best in the Big East, where it looks like it may be a three-team race between Rutgers, West Virginia and Louisville. If Rutgers can beat West Virginia at home and Louisville on the road, a conference title will be theirs. EJ VIRGINIA TECH(10-3) 51 MICHIGAN (11-2) PI p U G Jj ^ Michigan returns its top three players on offense in QB Chad Henne, RB Mike Hart and WR Mario Manningham. The offense will not be a problem this year, but with the loss of CB Leon Hall, DT Alan Branch and LB LaMarr Woodley, the defense could have a few question marks. Michigan gets a break this season with Penn State, Notre Dame and Qhio State all making trips to the Big House. If Chris Ellis fully recovers from offseason shoulder surgery, he will be the ACC’s top pass rusher. Ellis, along with seven other returning starters from the defense will have ACC teams fearing the Hokies. The Sept. 8th game at LSU should be a great matchup early in the season. Frank Beamer has a tough road ahead of him trying to put the focus back on football, but there’s potential for the Hokies to be the feel-good story of the year. 51 OHIO STATE (12-1) 51 FLORIDA (13-1) Uh The Gators lost a lot of talent from their 2006 BCS championship team, returning only two starters on defense. Will QB Tim Tebow and Heisman Trophy candidate Percy Harvin, along with a top recruiting class, be enough for Urban Meyer’s Gators to compete for back-to-back BCS titles? A challenging conference schedule and high expectations from Gator Nation will make it a tough task. “1 *3 C FIorida 2006 Bronko Nagurski Award winner James Laurinaitis anchors a top notch Buckeye defense. Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr. both moved on to the NFL, but look for RB Chris Wells to bust out for a huge year in 2007.

QB Mitch Mustain decided to transfer to DSC, so Casey Dick is now the man and will have to step up. On defense, the loss of DE Jamal Anderson to the NFL will have the Razorbacks searching for help rushing the passer. S UCLA (7-6) II 4 I The Bruins will return 20 starters from last year’s team, which went 7-6 overall, including a 5-4 conference record. UCLA's defense was ranked #1 against the run Isst season, and should dominate the line of scrimmage again this season. If QB Ben Olson comes back strong from last year's injury, and the offense steps up, look for the Bruins to compete with USC for a Pac 10 title. ej AUBURN (11-2) q P Jj j Auburn has one of, if not the most difficult schedule in ail the nation having to play Florida, LSU, and Georgia on the road. QB Brandon Cox had an injury-prone season last year, but if he stays healthy there will be many points on the scoreboard. Auburn’s defense looks dominant up front, and if they can carry the team past those three road games, the Tigers will be challenging for a BCS title. 5J BOSTON C0LLEGE(io-3) 1 t) Senior QB Matt Ryan may not get much hype, but he could be the best quarterback you’ve never heard of. The two-headed running back monster of Andre Callender and L.V. Whitworth makes BC's offense legitimate, and the Eagles an ACC title contender. The defense, which played very well last season, returns nine starters and is deep enough to have talented players on the field at all times. 17 QB Nate Longshore has the potential to be All-Conference this year. Led by DeSean Jackson, Cal boasts the best group of wide receivers in all of college football. But losing shutdown corner Daymeion Hughes, along with five other starters from last season, will have the defense looking to fill some holes. CAL (10-3) 51 GEORGIA TECH (9-5) la You would think that when you lose your star QB and the best wide receiver in all the land, it’s time to rebuild. Not in Yellow Jacket country. Even with Reggie Ball and All-World wide receiver Calvin Johnson gone, Georgia Tech is very excited about the upcoming 2007 season.

Even with top linebacker Paul Posluszny gone to the NFL, Penn State has a good group of linebackers leading an up-and-coming defense. Qn the flip side, offensive lineman Elijah Robinson’s career is over because of a spinal condition, and the Nittany Lions will have trouble trying to replace him. pj GEORGIA (9-4) a^ After a 4-4 conference record last year, the Dawgs will be looking to return to prominence with help from a solid defense and QB Matthew Stafford. As a freshman, Stafford had 13 interceptions to only seven touchdown passes, and a much better ratio in 2007 is a key. The SEC is running deep this year, so Georgia will have a lot of work to do if it wants to return to the top. ES Tennessee got a break from the schedule makers this year and won’t have to face LSU or Auburn. QB Erik Ainge has shown improvement every season, but his receivers this year are unproven.

A total of 75 players return from last season, including five AllAmericans led by quarterback Josh Johnson and wide receiver Wes Doyle. ^ UC DAVIS (6-5) Junior defensive back Brandon Brown should make a big impact for the Aggies this year as they look to contend for a national title. Brown showed flashes of his potential by returning two fumbles for touchdowns in the spring scrimmage. S UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS (8-3) Series Directed by WHhae star* S E A 1 5 0 N Ifi BestBuy.com The Bears appear to have the talent on offense to be in the playoff picture come November. There are question marks about the defensive side of the ball - 15 players were lost to graduation - but the coaching staff is confident the younger players will come around. If that is the case, UCA should have no problem building on last year s 8-3 campaign, its first in Division I. V YALE UNIVERSITY (8-2) Q Jb J With freshman quarterback Rich Scudellari looking good in the spring game - he threw for 130 yards - the Bulldogs have every reason to be thinking about a second consecutive Ivy League title and postseason trip in 2007. 5J ALABANA A&H (9-3) ED The Bulldogs are the defending SWAC champs and should be among the best in 2007 with a defense that features several key returning players. Strong Safety Marcus Thomas, a redshirt freshman, made two interceptions in the spring game and should be a force for the Bulldogs. / A Day in the Life... Behind the beard of West Virginia Football’s Mountaineer, Brady Campbell By Chris Strauss pij Despite the presence of Heisman candidates Pat White and Steve Slaton, West Virginia senior Brady Campbell is by far the most recognizable sports figure in Morgantown. In his second season as the legendary Mountaineer mascot, the Wood Science major from Charleston has grown accustomed to shouts of “Hey Mountaineer," even when he’s walking around without his coonskin cap and buckskins. “Anywhere you go in the state, they recognize you," Campbell says. “I was in a Burger King two and a half hours away and the manager came up and asked if I was the Mountaineer." Not that the job is all about celebrity. Campbell - who became the 60th Mountaineer in school history following a month-long audition process in 2005 - doesn’t take his responsibilities lightly. As soon as he finishes class on Friday before a home game, Campbell begins preparing the gunpowder for his rifle, which he fires about 40 times on a given Saturday. “I fire it twice for every time we score a touchdown and once for a conversion or extra point," he says. “I also fire it to bring on the team and before the game for fans in the parking lot.” Campbell measures out a preset amount of powder and places it into small plastic capsules called preloaders. “When you’re running down the field on Saturday, you don’t have time to measure out your gunpowder," he says. “This way you just pour it in the gun." Once the preloaders are prepped, Campbell spends about an hour cleaning the rifle, making sure the brass is shined and the barrel is ready. “I don’t fire the muzzle ball out but there’s still an explosion,” he says. “There’s a Mountaineer in the ‘70s who blew a finger off. It’s real enough to hurt somebody [if you’re not careful]." After making sure that he has hundreds of signed postcards ready for the morning, Campbell usually spends a low-key evening before a game with friends at his off-campus apartment. “Friday isn’t really a party night on campus," he admits, noting that the revelry will begin soon enough. “People wake up at five or six in the morning to secure a good spot in the parking lot.” Campbell gets up slightly later, arriving at the field by 8 a.m. for a noon game. His first move is to place a water bottle in each corner of the stadium. “You sweat a lot wearing a coonskin cap and leather on an August afternoon," he says. He then heads to the parking lot, where tailgaters offer more food than he can consume. A well-fed Campbell usually finds himself surrounded by a line of fans by 9 a.m., most looking to say hello or take a quick picture. Following the occasional meet and greet with university groups, Campbell makes his way down to the field about an hour before game time, when he II fire up the crowd and fire off his gun as the team is introduced. While the hometown fans are usually respectful, Campbell is kept at a distance thanks to Mountaineer Field’s eight-foot wall. That wasn’t the case during a road game against UConn last season, when a group of Huskies fans went undercover in gold shirts and lined up along the railing of the WVU section. “At the end of the game, I’m giving people high-fives and there goes my hat,” he recalls. “It’s gone. Next thing I see is a guy in a Connecticut jacket running up the stairs as fast as he could." It took about an hour and a half to get the hat back, especially after the initial thief - who tossed it to a waiting pal - was arrested and placed in the stadium drunk tank. “Once they threw him in the cell, he started talking,” Campbell laughs. “We didn’t press charges. Ends up the guys weren’t even students. They were lawyers." After that incident, Campbell - who plans to attend law school himself - bought a backup just in case. So where does this bearded pioneer explore after the game is over? His couch, for starters. “After I struggle up the hill to my car, I usually go home and take a short nap,” he admits. And then? “I head out for the night. I’m just like any other college student.” Jerome Bettis knows what it means to go the distance. That’s why he relies on Mobil Clean 5000. Its as tough and durable as he is, with serious engine protection guaranteed for 5,000 miles. In fact, it’s the only conventional oil to make that kind of claim. And with most carmakers now recommending oil drains beyond 3,000 miles, that’s a very good thing. Mobil Clean 5000. It’s seriously tough oil. Learn more at mobiloil.com.

By Steve Siniski S MOUNT UNION COLLEGE □1 (i5-0in2006) Easily one of the best ever football programs in their division, the Purple Raiders boast a 150-4 record since 1996. Their dominance on the road (62 straight wins) earns respect on any field. Fresh off back-to-back Division III crowns, the team returns 14 starters, including star tailback Nate Kmic, who rushed for a record-breaking 371 yards in one game last season. Since 1994, Mount Union has 35 more wins than any other Division III program and lost just seven games. The word dynasty is applicable, if not defined, by the Purple Raiders. 5] UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - UHITEUATER □E ?U ST. □3 (i4-i) Two consecutive runner-ups to Mount Union give the Warhawks something to prove. Something’s got to be said about making back-to-back title appearances, but the stamp of greatness won't come until the championship hurdle is cleared. Four returning AllAmericans, including running back Justin Beaver, keep the team in the mix for another big run. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY (riN)(ii-2) A legendary head coach in John Gagliardi and a four-year starter under center Alex Kofoed keep the Johnnies among the elite. On the heels of a run to the Division III quarterfinals, only Mount Union has more wins since 1994 than St. John’s. Pencil Gagliardi’s bunch in for another season of 11-plus wins. They have accomplished that feat eight times in the last nine years. 51 WESLEY C0LLEGE(13-i) The Wolverines made plenty of noise with their run to the semifinals, losing to eventual Division III runner-up, Wisconsin-Whitewater. Rarely in the giving mood, Wesley just takes what they want, and they proved that last season by forcing 51 turnovers. That type of proficiency in creating opportunities leads to big offensive numbers, and more can be expected from a team wise beyond its years in terms of experience. 5J UNIVERSITY OF MARY HAROIN-BAYLOR (io-3) OS Slotted right below the team that bounced them from last year’s playoffs, the Crusaders have a strong nucleus of defenders primed to take another step forward. Linebacker Jerrell Freeman is the centerpiece and makes good use of his ability to roam from sideline to sideline. The All American is a tireless defender that makes those around him hungrier with his sheer hustle. S CAPITAL UNIVERSITY (11-2) □ t. vvww.getciirve.com An experienced senior class led Capital’s crusade to the semifinal round of the Division III playoffs. Now, by welcoming back wide receiver Derrick Alexander and a defense that finished among the nation’s best in points allowed, certainly gives hope for another 10win campaign. Because the Crusaders lost the third all-time passing leader in Division III history, as well as 1,190 yards rushing in the backfield, they won’t make the top five this preseason. It’s best to take a wait-and-see approach, because even this may be a little high to start. UNIVERSITY OF MARY HARDIN-BAYIjOR rONTTWIi Dill Preview El TRINITY UNIVERSITY n 7 (TX)(M) Trinity s defense has been the best in Dill football four years running, and this year offense may not be far behind. The starting offensive line allowed a mere two sacks last season, and four of the big heavies are expected back in the trenches. Opponents can t sleep on Eric McGrath, who has plenty of beefy bodies giving him the necessary ingredients for any successful quarterback—time and protection. 5J ROlilAN UNIVERSITY (9-3) n n U O This season's schedule is slightly unbalanced, as the Profs are home for just four dates and hit the road for six others. But Rowan’s calling card is defense, and on the gridiron that side of the ball usually travels well and cares little about late-season weather. El ST. JOHN FISHER COLLEGE (12-2) One of the few teams to give Mount Union a scare in 2006, the Cardinals will get to see what senior tailback James Reile can do in a full-time starting role. He ran for 2,040 yards and 26 touchdowns over the last two years, mostly as a supporting member of the offense. The most successful season in the program’s history is now in the rearview mirror, but the Cardinals are still a force in the Empire 8 Conference. 5U lilILKES UNIVERSITY -I PI JJ U (PA)(11-1) Al Karaffa’s a well-protected quarterback working behind an experienced offensive line. That alone gives the offense some juice on the heels of averaging 26.2 points per game. Throw in a defense stingier than Ebenezer Scrooge (8.7 points per game) and a friendly schedule, and the Colonels are staring at another trip to the playoffs. The biggest potential bump is a home battle with Rowan, the team that knocked Wilkes from last year’s semifinals. El HARDIN-SinnONS UNIVERSITY (8-2) The Cowboys’ mettle will be tested often, as they face Wisconsin-La Crosse, 11 Linfield and Mary Hardin-Baylor, all before Columbus Day. But it’s tough to overlook what could be if they win two of those games, considering there’s a brand new quarterback in town to take over for one of the best in the program’s history. Having the division’s top runner (Cuinton Jones) and receiver (Mychal Carrillo) helps. El BETHEL UNI VERSITY (9-2) IE Brandon Carr is a huge talent in the secondary, and a major reason why the defense is among the best in the nation. And there must be something about the rushing offense and run defense lining up against each other in practice. When teams can run it down an opponent’s throat and prevent it at the same time, it can only mean good things for Royals fans.

But that’s exactly the case with the Purple Raiders and nowjunior running back Nate Kmic, a first-team All-American selection by Don Hansen’s Football Gazette and DSfootball.corn’s 2006 Offensive Player of the Year.

It’s difficult to become a starter [as an underclassman], but it’s not impossible." 11. As he enters his second full season as a starter, Kmic has already shown a knack for saving his best games for when the chips, and sometimes the snowflakes, are on the ta­ ble. After setting a school-record with 361 yards rushing in an icy second round Division III playoff matchup against Augustana in 2005, he broke his own record in the ’06 semifinals. Kmic tore St. John Fisher’s defense apart for 371 yards as Mount Union won a 26-14 decision. 5J WHEATON COLLEGE (10-2) -| — Jj I^rhn^trf iT^^ Wheaton’s defense is going to be the anchor that keeps the Thunder in the Top 20.

But according to Kehres, the clutch performances are something the junior takes in stride, and are simply a by-product of his desire to be on the field. “Nate likes football practice,” Kehres says. “He’s one of those guys that enjoys the game and has fun. He tends not to be [consumed] by statistics and honors.

The real work for Grand Valley State came a few weeks later and 1,100 miles away from the Allendale, Michigan campus. ^fnsen: Grand Valley State has already been built into a small college national power. This is a school that has won four Division II National Championships since 2002. Two of the titles have come in three _ seasons under head coach. Chuck Martin, who has compiled a phenomenal 38-3 record. The 38-year-old Martin did some different type of building during a week in late April and early May, normally a vacation period after spring semester finals and spring practice was completed. Martin, five of his assistants and 30 Lakers players traveled to Kiln, Mississippi to help rebuild five homes and a church that were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. “Every kid said it was the hardest week of work in their life. It also was one that came with many rewards,” Martin says. “It was a blue-collar working week." Mi‘^i According to one relief agency organizer. Grand Valley State is believed to be the first college football program to travel en masse to work for an extended period on Hurrioane Katrina relief. Community service projects for student-athletes are nothing new at Grand Valley State. Players in the past had built houses for Habitat for Humanity, for example, but the bulk of the activities took place at the local level. Schools from around the country left their mark in Kiln, Miss. “We care about the kids as athletes, as students and as people," Martin says. “We push them hard and we want to help them improve as people. We believe in community service. We believe it should be a part of our football program.” CONTINUED Game Bali: Grand Valley State The inspiration came one night in January when Martin was watching CNN with his wife and saw a report about the Hurricane region. More than 16 months after Hurricane Katrina swept through the Gulf Region in 2005, Martin saw that plenty of devastation remained. “We saw how not enough was being done," the coach says. “We were looking for something to sink our teeth into." Martin asked around to see who might be interested, and insisted that any participation would be completely voluntary. John Hinken, Martin’s neighbor in Michigan, went to Mississippi in January to rebuild houses. Chuck Hinken, John's father, was a main organizer for Kiln's Camp Coastal Outpost, which oversees relief efforts in the area. “I was a little worried about how this might work out, whether we would have enough kids with the necessary skills," admits Chuck Hinken, who was honored by President Bush in April with the nation’s Volunteer Service Award. “But you couldn’t ask for a better bunch of guys." Martin was hoping 10 players might sign up, but ended up with triple the number, an impressive figure since Grand Valley State football players do not get full-ride scholarships, making free time even more valuable. When you factor in classes, exams and football related activities, there are only about three weeks off for the student-athletes during the academic year. Private donations were sought and more than $8,000 was raised from friends of the school’s football program to send the studentathletes south. “The support was overwhelming,” Martin says. “The kids didn’t have to pay a dime of out-of-pocket expenses.” The contingent piled into five vans in the early morning hours of April 29th and drove south to Kiln, the city where Brett Favre, the future Hall of Fame quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, was raised. “We stopped in a gas station and saw all these Packers posters on the wall," says Lakers quarterback Brad Iciek. “I was hoping he would show up, but I know he had other priorities." Kiln also was a city that stood right in the middle of Katrina’s wrath, and the devastation remained. “It opened up our eyes," Iciek says. “Almost two years have gone by, and there still are people without homes.” The players and coaches stayed at a barracks-style facility that provided food, lodging and bathing facilities for volunteers for $15 a day. They arrived in the evening and were hard at work the next morning. The main task involved the building of the St. Rock Methodist Church for members of a congregation that had seen their building wiped out, as well as the five homes nearby. “We experienced every possible emotion. It was both fantastic and at the same time depressing. It was an uplifting experience,” Martin says. “Any emotion you could feel, we felt it.’ While Martin and his group provided a willing work force, it was Hinken and the crew at Camp Coastal Outpost who made sure that the talent wasn’t wasted. “A lot of people come down there with the best of intentions, but if you don’t have people that know what they’re doing, it’s not always helpful," Martin says. “They were the skilled laborers. We were the work force.” The work was varied as well as arduous. The players were digging trenches, building decks and pouring concrete. They installed aluminum siding and put up shingles. Some of his players who had carpentry and construction skills were moved up to the head of the class. “I was part of the group that had no skills,” admits Martin, who before the trip considered raking his lawn a tough day of manual labor. Not everything went smoothly. Within the first two hours on the job, two of the Grand Valley State players suffered cuts that required trips to a hospital emergency room. None of the injuries were serious. “We just started and I had already taken two kids to the hospital," Hinken says. “I was wondering how this week would end.” But things went more smoothly from there. Hinken was impressed NO TEAM IS BETTER AT CREATING TURNOVERS. The best way to extend the life of your vehicle is with regular maintenance and no one is better at giving your vehicle the care it needs than the team of professional technicians at your local NAPA AutoCare Center. 800*LET»NAPA / www.NAPAAutoCare.com m. gWIFB Get The Good Stuff. I Game Ball: Grand Valley State with the seriousness the football players took to their tasks and the way they bonded with volunteers from Hinken's Fellowship Reformed Church. “Many of those volunteers were in their 50s and 60s. They clicked with the players from the start," says the 62-year-old Hinken. “You don’t see that nowadays." New Orleans Football The players were split into groups to maximize the tasks at hand, not unlike a depth chart for a team. That was of particular interest to Iciek, who is taking over at quarterback for the departed Cullen Finnerty, one of the most prolific small-college passers in history who signed with the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens this spring. “We showed we could work together off the field," Iciek says. “Everyone who came ended up being a leader." The contingent also included tackle Brandon Barnes and All-American linebacker Anthony Adams. The Grand Valley party headed back to Michigan at the end of the week. They had just a taste of the difficulty of relief work, and an appreciation was gained for those who do that work as a life-long vocation. “We should take our incoming freshman class down there and show them how tough real work is," Martin says. Martin did not come home empty handed. One hurricane victim had six dogs and was looking to find homes for her pets. When calling home to Michigan, his wife and children convinced Martin, who admits to not being a dog lover, to take two of the dogs home. “One is a half hound," Martin says. “The other, I have no idea. Could be half pig." The Lakers will have 17 starters back and are ranked #1 in the country in several preseason publications (including this one). Martin admits to being a perfectionist. He remembers more of the details about his few defeats than he does about the victories. There is always a desire to do better, whether that is in a December playoff game or an April trip to Kiln. ^'7 ...few With dogs in tow, Martin and the Lakers are back in Michigan, where the focus is back on football. The Lakers are a stunning 85-5 in their last 90 games and will take a 28-game winning streak into the season. 1.4 MIUION PEOPU ARE STALKED EVERY YEAR IN THE UNnED STATES Stalking: A course of harassing conduct directed at a 1 specific person.

Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley knew he had to act fast and shocked most people by signing Meyer to a seven-year, $14 million dollar deal to become the Gators head coach. ' '.j ■ w" '^v '. ‘ ' c, ■ ■■■'■■ "a--,. •r ^ Hlft i"!T v^r •.;•»: %i .. W .r ..»,||/^ ,j.. ,■ . . ^ ^ ^ ■''#3r2s\w’-'>.. ^ M Meyer improved the Gators from 2004’s 7-5 to a 9-3 record, continuing a trend he has achieved at each school he has coached. More important than the extra wins was the energy and expectation of excellence that he brings to Florida football. Meyer felt that 9-3 was not acceptable for a program like Florida, and he would hold the team and everyone involved in the football program to a higher standard. The increased accountability on the players and coaches led to a more unified team heading into the 2006 season, and the results of that season speak for themselves. The team finished the year with a 13-1 record, winning the SEC championship for the first time since 2000. The Gators then went on to the BCS National Championship. Meyer just recently received a new six-year, $19 million dollar contract that makes him the third highest paid college coach behind only Nick Saban and Charlie Weis, respectively. The bar just keeps moving higher. The Gators are giving the keys to the offense to sophomore quarterback Tim Tebow, who has already achieved God-like status in Gainesville, with some going so far as to call him... EJTHE 7. i Florida Gator fans are spoiled. Sure, they gave the BCS Championship Gators their adulation, but after the basketball teani won back-to-back championships, the Florida football faithful don t expect anything less than another BCS trophy. Such is the mountain of expectation these days for the 2007 Florida Gators football team. Last year, college football experts almost all agreed that Florida was a good team but they weren’t a contender yet. They felt that it would take another year for the team to become familiar with Urban Meyer’s spread offense, and that 2007 was the year that the Gators would live up to their full potential. Instead, an offense led by a much-maligned starting quarterback played the toughest schedule in the country, and the 2006 Gators beat then #1 Ohio State 41-14 in the BCS title game. Since then, Florida football has been in a state of flux. The defense lost three key juniors to the NFL in addition to seven seniors, leaving the team that had been groomed to come into its own in 2007 perilously thin and extremely young across the board. Tim Tebow takes over at quarterback for Chris Leak and looks to unleash Urban Meyer’s complicated spread offense, all the while rying to keep the litany of the offensive weapons available to him happy and making plays. The man who was instrumental in guiding Florida to the title is also the perfect coach to deal with a rabid fan base that expects nothing less than another national championship in 2007. Throughout Meyer’s coaching career, he has gone above and beyond expectations. This season could prove to be his toughest test yet. STHE COACH In 2001, Urban Meyer took his first head coaching job at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. He promptly engineered the biggest turnaround in the NCAA, improving the Falcons by six wins to an 8-3 record in his first season. After going 9-3 in his second year at Bowling Green, Meyer moved on to Utah in 2003, where he led the Utes to a 22-2 record over two seasons. Utah went 12-0 in 2004 and became the first team from a non-BCS conference to earn a BCS bowl game berth. CHOSEN He will be counted on to contribute a lot more to the team in 2007 if the Gators are to be successful. This year opposing defenses will no doubt be looking to shut down his running ability until he proves he can be an effective passer. Florida starts with three straight home games, so Tebow should be able to use the friendly confines of the Swamp to get into a good rhythm early in the season. SUOVERHAUL A: 458 tackles, 41 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, and 18 interceptions. Q: What do the Gators have to replace on defense with the loss of nine starters from the 2006 squad that held opponents to 255 yards and less than 14 points per game. The 2007 NFL Draft saw six of those nine starters get drafted, including first round picks Jarvis Moss to Denver and Reggie Nelson to Jacksonville. Four other defensive players were signed as free agents so a drop off in play on that side of the ball is expected, especially early in the season. The attrition isn't limited to the defensive side of the ball though, as the Gators lost a total of 25 players to either graduation or the NFL. Meyer’s first two recruiting classes have been stellar. The 2006 class brought in 26 players and was ranked the #2 class in the nation by Scout.com. The 2007 class promises to be even better, delivering 27 players and garnering Scout’s #1 ranking. ONE A nickname given before he made one play at Florida, Tebow was a highlyrecruited quarterback out of Nease High School near St. Augustine, Fla. and put up prolific numbers running a spread offense that put him in total command. He made his commitment announcement on national television. All this, before the Gators won the national championship. Imagine the expectations on Tebow now? The Gators don’t need to look very far to see a team that succeeded after suffering similar losses. Ohio State lost nine starters after last season, including five first-round draft picks, and still made it to the championship game. It is up to the young players to step into starting roles and produce if that is to happen. He finished his high school career with 12, 996 yards of total offense (9,810 passing, 3,186 rushing) and accounted for 157 touchdowns (95 passing, 62 rushing) while leading Nease to the Class 4A state title in 2005. In addition to the production that must be replaced on the field is the leadership this group provided. They lost their emotional leader in LB Brandon Siler, who was the heart and soul of the defense. Siler, along with Reggie Nelson and Earl Everett, were vocal leaders that wouldn’t hesitate to get in another teammates face if they needed to. While the Gators don’t have that in-your-face personality right now, they still have two guys who can show the young players how to deal with tough situations. He is seen as the prototype for the spread offense that Meyer wants to run, which requires a quarterback who can effectively run and throw the ball. Meyer’s base offense spreads three receivers and puts the quarterback in the shotgun. Then, he introduces motion in the backfield and turns it into an option attack, adding elements of the traditional run-oriented option offense. With the proper personnel and execution it is virtually unstoppable. In 2006, Tebow was used more as a short yardage specialist in the running game and an occasional passer. He finished the season second on the team with 469 yards rushing and eight touchdowns while completing 22 of 33 passes for 358 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. Nation (- 0 KJ T T K i 3reit Expedfqtions Sreat Expect eiNEU LEADERS EMERGE “He’s a great person, he’s a leader, and he will probably be the next face of Florida football. That’s how much respect I personally have for him." Meyer said recently. At first glance, Cornelius Ingram and Derrick Harvey couldn’t be more different from each other. In his first two seasons at Florida, Meyer anointed a face of Florida football based on the player’s work ethic, character and team-first attitude. Ingram is from Hawthorne, Fla., a tiny one stoplight town in central Florida. The first face was former Gainesville High standout Vernell Brown. The second was senior wide receiver Jemalle Cornelius. Now it is Ingram’s turn at the front, and he has 53 freshmen and sophomores looking to him to lead. Harvey is from Greenbelt, MD, a city of more than 20,000 located about 15 miles northeast of downtown Washington, D.C.. einext Ingram, after being recruited as a QB, now plays TE/WR, Harvey plays DE. But they do have a few things in common. They are both redshirt juniors, they both came on strong at the end of last year to jump on everyone's radar and they both have NFL-ready bodies. Ingram measures in at 6’4, 220 pounds and Harvey at 6'4, 260 pounds. And ready or not, they've both been called upon to become the leaders of this Gators team. in line The 2007 recruiting class for Florida has many intriguing storylines. The class is so big and diverse that they can almost field a full starting lineup on offense and defense; the only thing missing are a few offensive linemen. There are the seven members from Lakeland High School who all enrolled at Florida early, including twin Cffensive Linemen Maurkice and Michael Pouncey and pint-sized bullet RB Chris Rainey. Expect to see more of Derrick Harvey’s 81-inch wingspan this season Harvey arrived at Florida after being named Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year in 2004. He sat out his first year at Florida, and contributed only 6 tackles and a sack as a redshirt freshman. His sophomore season, he was named the starter opposite Jarvis Moss. His play steadily improved to the point of being a dominant pass rusher by the end of the year. He was named Defensive MVP of the BCS Championship, after recording three sacks and a fumble recovery against Ohio State. He finished the season with a team-leading 11 sacks. Based on their increased level of play at the end of last season and their commitment to Florida football, Meyer has named Ingram and Harvey as leaders of this very young team. Harvey initially took a little convincing. “I’m not very vocal, so coach told me to lead by example and everyone would follow me," Harvey says on Under the Eighty, a regional television program that'gives a behind-the-scenes look at the Gators spring practice. After splitting time between football and basketball early in his career, Ingram decided to focus solely on football in 2006, but not before he contemplated leaving Florida altogether. Ingram was unhappy with the amount of playing time he was receiving, but Meyer talked Ingram out of leaving, and things have been looking up ever since. After only 10 catches in the first nine games of last season, Ingram picked the best time to become a factor. Over the last five games he had 20 catches, including six for 71 yards in the SEC Championship game and four for 58 yards in the BCS title game. Now, one year after their discussion about leaving, Meyer is giving Ingram a huge honor. He recently named the rising junior as the new face of Florida football. There is James Wilson, a five-star guard who blocked for Tebow in high school at Nease, choosing UF after originally committing to Southern Cal. There are quarterbacks Cameron Newton and John Brantley, top ranked passers who are coming to UF despite the fact that it should remain Tebow’s team for the next two to three years. The icing on the cake is Deonte Thompson, a WR from Belle Glade who ran a 4.28 40-yard dash, who chose Florida at the end of signing day. In all, Florida ended up with 12 of the top 100 players in the country, and many of them will be expected to provide an immediate impact this season for Florida. They aren’t the only SEC team to bring in a top class though, with Tennessee, LSU, Auburn, and South Carolina all finishing in Scout’s top seven. SS0D7 OUTLOOK Florida’s schedule is pretty favorable, with Tennessee, Auburn, and Florida State all playing at The Swamp this year. Their biggest test will probably be the showdown with LSU in Baton Rouge on Cctober 6th, which could be a preview of the SEC Championship game. They also have a road game against South Carolina, and Spurrier will definitely have his Gamecocks ready after last season’s disappointing final seconds loss. Young teams should be expected to have growing pains, and it’s likely that Florida will be looking at a 9-3 record and watching the SEC Championship on TV. Just don’t mention that to any Florida fans. After all, if the freshmen and sophomores play up to the level of their immense talent, Florida could be right in the hunt for another BCS Championship. Exactly where Gator Nation expects them to be. 0 Jeff Levers is a sports writer based in Jacksonville, Fla.

Running back Elbert Cole was one of three finalists in 1989, while wide re­ ceiver Ernest Priester was a finalist a year later. Cole placed third in the '89 balloting. He earned All-American honors in 1989, receiving first team accolades from Kodak/American Football Coaches Association, second team recognition from Football Gazette, and third team status from Associated Press. Cole rushed for 1,507 yards and set Penn­ sylvania State Athletic Conference records for touchdowns (24) and points (148). He led the Fighting Scots to the PSACWest title, a 8-3 record and a number seven ranking in the final Division 11 poll. Priester was runnerup to North Dakota State quarterback Chris Simdom in 1990 when the Bison claimed the Division II national title. Priester was the PSAC Western Division CoPlayer of the Year in 1990. He was also recog­ nized by Kodak/American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press and the Football Gazette as a first team All-American. The wide receiver hauled in 47 passes for 1,102 yards and 15 TDs. Edinboro finished 9-3, reaching the Division II quarterfinals.

Headlining the list of recipients are this year’s Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the Year, as selected by the league's sports information directors. Lock Haven University’s Chris Robson was named the male Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Clarion University’s Jamie Wolf gained the same honors on the women’s side. The 1,420 scholar-athletes account for approximately one third of the 5,200 + student-athletes in the PSAC. Commissioner Murray will award each scholar-athlete with a certificate of distinction. The PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athlete of the Year Awards are presented to the top student-athletes who have achieved at least a 3.25 cumulative grade point average while competing at an outstanding athletic level. Student-athletes must have been recognized as a Fall, Winter or Spring Top Ten Award winner to be eligible. In its 17th year of existence, the awards were renamed this year to honor East Stroudsburg's long-time sports information director Pete Nevins, who passed away in January after a short battle with cancer. Nevins held his position at ESU for 33 years, and it is estimated that he wrote articles on more than 12,000 ESU events that covered more than 5,000 student-athletes. Robson graduated with a 3.86 GPA in health and pre-physical therapy. A four-time Top 10 Award winner, Robson earned an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship and will pursue a doctorate in physical therapy at the University of Delaware. The distance specialist earned All-America honors this past season by finishing eighth in the steeplechase at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He posted the league's fastest effort for 2007 in the event at the PSAC Championships, winning his second consecutive title with a time of 9:03.28, which also established a new school record. He was an All-PSAC performer in cross country with a 16th-place finish in 27:15 at the PSAC Championships, helping Lock Haven earn the team title. He earned a 27thplace finish at the East Regional to help guide the Bald Eagles to another team championship and aided LHU's 11th-place finish at the NCAA Championships. He has been a key member of the Bald Eagle squad that has won four consecutive PSAC Cross Country Championships and three of the last four NCAA East Region Championships.

This is the seventh consecutive year that the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players have asked me to thank each of the restaurants/eateries below. Please support these Edinboro business! THANK YOU. All-Time Team ...

Several years from now we may look back and yiew 2006-07 as one of the most momentous in many ears. The Fighting Scot athletic teams once again ^oyed great success, and in some not-so-expected areas. As Edinboro celebrated its 150* year, it was marked by a great deal of change - change that will carry our athletic teams for years to come. By the time our student-athletes return from sum­ mer break to begin preparations for the 2007-08 sea­ son, they'll be able to work out in our newly-ienovated weight room. It's exciting to watch the day-to-day changes. When it's all said and done. Fighting Scot student-athletes will have state-of-the art weight-training and aerobic equipment at their disposal. That's not all. The McComb Fieldhouse gymna­ sium floor will have a new look as well, and repairs are also taking place in the swimming pool. I've saved possibly the best for last. During the winter the Edinboro University Student Government Association backed a plan to renovate Sox Harrison Stadium, and it was supported by the administratioa The end result - a new artificial surface at Sox Harrison Stadium, which should be done in time for Edinboro's home opener against West Chester on September 1. In addition, lights will be installed, opening a myriad of opportunities in the future. Fi­ nely, the scoreboard will be updated. This project will be a huge benefit to the athletic program, but it doesn't end there. The rest of the campus community will see the benefits of this proj­ ect. Back to the playing field for a minute. Edinboro won PSAC Championships in women's cross coimtry and wrestling, with the wnestUng team also win­ ning its ninth EWL Tournament in ten years. Gregor Gillespie became Edinboro's third Division I national champion in front of a live national audience on ESPN. That same day Brooke Heath concluded an­ other outstanding showing at the swimming na­ tional championships. The junior is now an 11-time All-American. The year ended with the softball team making its first-ever trip to the NCAA Playoffs. We're very proud of everything that has been ac­ complished, not only this past year but in previous years. We look ahead to the challenge of the future, realizing that it will indeed be a challenge. Other Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference schools are experiencing many of the same improvements we are, or have done so in recent years. The support of the administration and the SGA is greatly appreciated. But we can't stop there. Our Edinboro Family must continue to grow. I can't tell you how valuable your support has been since the start of the Annual Athletic Frmd. We hope you'll once again choose to sit down and contribute to the Athletic Fund. If you haven't contributed in the past, please explore the possibility of helping Edinboro not only maintain its athletic tradition, but move for­ ward. Finally, please spread the word around. The greatest way we can prosper is by networking, so please tell a friend or two about Annual Athletic Fund. As always, thanks for your support. Please make it a point to come back at some point this year and see aU the improvements first h^d.

Page 59 When we last gathered to watch Edinboro football the Fighting Scots were celebrating Senior Day - at Allegheny College. Due to the unplayable condition of Sox Harrison Stadium, the game had to be moved to Allegheny. The Fighting Scots went on to a big win that day against Shippensburg. Behind the scenes, the wheels were set in motion for a new look at Sox Harrison Stadium. A couple of months later, with the strong support of the Edin­ boro University Student Government Association, former President Dr. Frank G. Pogue signed off on a plan to install artificial turf (Sportexe), along with the installation of a new scoreboard at Sox Harrison Stadium. The end result is a beautiful new artificial surface that will not only serve as the home field for the Fighting Scot football and women's soccer teams, but also for various other campus activities, including classes and club activities. Today we celebrate the completion of this project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. As you might imagine, there Dr. Frank G.

Our ceremonies will begin at 12:30 p.m., with several individuals taking part. Representing the entire group will be Dr. Jeremy Brown, Edinboro University's new Presi­ dent, and SGA President Joe Malizia.
