Now let's get back to our seniors for a minute. These young men have made us proud to say we are a Fighting Scot fan. We wish them the very best in their future endeavors.

The Coaches 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, defen­ sive backs and running backs, along with serving as the offensive coor­ dinator. Browning became the first head coach at Edinboro to debut with a win 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. He has a 13-8 career record, tying the record for most wins by a coach in his first two seasons. (For more on Scott Browning, see pages 6-7.) Dr. George Mihalik (Slippery Rock '76) is completing his 20th season as Slippeiy Rock's head coach, and 36th year as a part of The Rock pro­ gram. Mihalik owns an impressive 135-79-4 record during his tenure Page a as the SRU head coach. He ranks among the Division II leaders in both career wins and winning percentage. The former starting quarterback at Slippery Rock, he has gone on to guide The Rock to four PSAC West championships and berths in the NCAA Playoffs three times. The Edinboro-Slippery Rock Series Fighting Scots Ranked 12th in Region On the Cover With one week left in the regular season, Edinboro is ranked 12th in the Northeast Region. The top six teams in the region advance to the NCAA Division II Playoffs. It has always been my tradition to have the seniors on the Senior Day program cover. Unfortunately we were never able to gather everyone for that photo. I ended up putting a picture of Brian Shreve on the cover. Not an all-conference player, or even a starter, probably what jumps out most about Brian is he is my son. Like any parent I'd always looked for­ ward to Senior Day with my son, but was caught off guard somewhat when he decided a week ago to forego his final year of eligibility. I com­ mend him for choosing to move on with his life, knowing it was a diffi­ cult decision based on the friendships he has made and his love for football. I got to thinking that Brian represents all those players who toiled in anonymity for the love of the game, with little recognition but self-satisfaction. As for myself, I've watched him play football for too many years now, and can never convey my pride in his perseverance. This is my way of showing how much he means to me. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Califomia(Pa.) Shepherd West Chester Southern Connecticut State Bryant Indiana(Pa.)

Please note that in week ten the Fighting Scots will play a home game against a team from the East. That weekend is reserved for the PSAC Championship Game. The top team from the East will play at the top team from the West, with the two second place teams meeting, and so on. In addition, the Fighting Scots may play an 11th game in late August. Slippery Rock 24, Edinboro 21 ot Trevor Harris led Edinboro to the game-tying touchdown in the final minute of play, a seven-yard strike to Kyle Witucki with 57 sec­ onds left. Slippery Rock's Ryan Daniel spoiled the Fighting Scots' comeback hopes as he booted a 41-yard field goal in overtime. Harris would be sacked and fumble on third down to end the game. In a con­ test which featured some crazy weather, beginning with rain, followed by a second half hail storm and high winds, Edinboro took to the air, as Harris completed 20 of 29 passes for 258 yards. His SRU counterpart, Nate Crookshank, was 16 of 28 for 214 yards. |iiiilJLlii 1.IUI ■ 1 m m September 6 September 13 September 20 September 27 October 4 October 11 October 18 October 25 November 1 November 8 ....................... . , I Scouting Slippery Rock The Rock has posted an 8-2 record this season, with the losses coming to Indiana(Pa.)

(4th in PSAQ, the aggressive defense is second in ? sacks (33). / I Players to Watch At the beginning of the year it was David Bostic the tailback, then David Bostic the defensive back, then David Bostic the wide receiver. When Hous­ ton Brown went down with a broken leg, it became David Bostic the tail­ back once again. The freshman from Tavares, EL is certainly versatile. And on Saturday against Qarion, add explosive to the terms used to describe him. Making his first start at tailback, Bostic became the first Fighting Scot to reach 100 yards rushing. He finished with 113 yards on 18 carries with 2 TDs after entering the game with 28 yards rushing. For good measure, he caught a career-hi^ 9 passes for 86 yards, and also returned four kickoffs for 61 yards. All told, Bostic finished with 260 all-purpose yards. * Nate Crookshank, QB — the 5-10,190 lb. senior has passed for 1,984; yards with 19 TDs and 9 INTs, matching his season high for TDI passes. He's an elusive player and has been sacked just nine times, the! least in the PSAC. Crookshanks ranks first in career completion (543), i second in career attempts (966), second in career yards passing (7,155) and second in career touchdowns passing (56). Corey Manfull, RB — after sitting out the 2006 campaign due to a se'ere hand injury, the 5-11, 200 lb. junior has come back with a engeance. He ranks second in the PSAC with 1,086 yards on 178 rnies with 11 TDs. That figure ranks 17th in SRU history. |Co/m Golden and Paul Pavers, WRs — along with Terry Grossetti, gwho has a team-high 39 catches. Golden and Favers have 33 and 27 ^catches, respectively. Golden, a senior, ranks second in career recep- | tions with 133. Favers has 86 career receptions and moved into sev- 1 enth place in yards receiving (1,480). , Cory Lacek, DE — the 6-1,235 lb. senior is the master at making tack-1 les behind the line of scrimmage. He has 8.5 TFL and 7 sacks, giving | him 28 career sacks, four shy of the school record. He was a thirc. team Football Gazette All-American a year ago. Clint Forsha, DT — along with Lacek and DE Tyler Boudreau (lO sacks), he helps form a formidable defensive line. He ranks second on the team with 55 tackles, with 11 TFL and 9 sacks.

For instance, in Saturday's 49-30 win over Clarion, the sophomore completed passes to nine different receivers.Six players caught at lesat three passes, and four players caught passes for 50-or-more yards. That really has been the case aU year. Twelve different players have caught passes, and nine players own at least one TD reception. As for Harris, well he just continues to rewrite the record books. His last assault on the records featured a 33-for-46 performance against Qarion, good for 415 yards and 4 TDs. He also rank for 18 yards and a score. The 433 yards was a new school record, and he also set season records for yards passing (2,893) and touchdowns passing (28). Lucky Number 13 Head coach Scott Browning has tied Bill McDonald and Tom Hollman for most wins by a coach after two seasons. All three have won 13. It is particularly meaningful to Browning since he considers Tom Hollman one of his mentors. lEldiriboro Sitalistics Rushing Houston Brown Ulysee Davis Trevor Harris 0amell Dennis iDavid Bostic lEUP Totals |Opp Totals Passing Trevor Harris Joe Wanson EUP Totals Opp Totals Att. 81 74 71 32 27 316 374 Att. 368 20 388 359 Receiving Rich Cerro Ryan Rybicki Jeremy Burr Gary Nolen David Bostic Kyle IMtucki Denayne Dixon EUP Totals Opp Totals Tackles GreeSondae Y'Fioshua Murray Dan Skelton Chris Ainico jTaurean Valentine Comp. 253 11 264 197 Yards 424 388 246 200 141 1489 1358 Avg. 5.2 5.2 3.5 6.2 5.2 4.7 3.6 Yards 2893 173 3066 2338 No. 48 43 34 31 29 28 19 264 197 Yards 541 433 376 496 339 373 198 3066 2338 Solo 38 32 41 31 38 Asst. 36 37 16 24 13 .

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 scjuash teams at St. Lawrence 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.

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 HaU 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.

With twenty years under 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.

IfflilWaL Notre Dame vs. USC 5U Since 1926, USC vs. Notre Dame has been one of the biggest games of the year for the entire country. No matter where the two teams are ranked, when the gold helmets of Notre Dame and the Trojans of Southern California clash in the annually televised culture war, it’s always a game worth watching. No school has beaten USC more than Notre Dame and no school has beaten Notre Dame more than USC. For bragging rights and a notch on the Jeweled Shillelagh (a replica Gaelic war club that serves as the rivalry’s official trophy), they will meet this year for their 78"’ gridiron clash. We enlisted two Trojans and one of the Fighting Irish to help us break down the matchup. By Storm fVlillican, Class of ’06 • If it wasn’t for Notre Dame’s All-American back and Hall of Fame coach Knute Rockne, football wouldn’t be the same. Rockne was the first person to figure out how to really utilize the forward pass, while holding a summer job as a lifeguard in 1913. • One word: Rudy. Notre Dame has the greatest college football movie of all time. USC has Saved By The Bell: The College Years. By Devon Pollard, Class of ‘04 and Rory MacDonald, Class of ‘02 • History repeats itself. USC shut out its first ever opponent, winning 16-0 on November 14, 1888. Notre Dame began a long history of losing one year earlier, getting shutout by Michigan in its inaugural game, 8-0. • The USC Song Girls are the greatest cheerleaders in the history of sports. Who do Notre Dame fans have to look at on their sideline? Charlie Weis? 42-31-5. • The comeback. In 1974, the Trojans were trailing the Irish 24-6 at halftime, but in the third quarter, USC turned it on to score 35 points. The final score: 55-24. • No matter how much their games get televised, Notre Dame will always be the ultimate scrappy underdog team, which is part of what makes it so satisfying when they beat the Trojans. Like the “green jersey game” in 1977, when ND came out of the tunnel wearing the Irish national color for the first time and pummeled the heavily favored USC, 49-19. Goosebumps. • USC fans know when and when not to celebrate. In the 2005 matchup, Irish fans rushed the field, not realizing that there was actually still one down left to play, which was even more embarrassing after running back Reggie Bush pushed quarterback Matt Leinart over the goal line to a 34-31 USC victory. • What do you get when you drive slowly by the USC campus? A degree. Compare that to Notre Dame, who has graduated 98.74% of its football players in four years, since • Let’s talk geography. Where is Indiana even located? I’ll tell you where it’s not: Southern California. Yeah the postcards are true, it’s nice over here. • Scoreboard; Notre Dame leads the rivalry with a record of 1962. • Even people from Los Angeles have to respect Notre Dame’s history, like the Four Horsemen. All of them were less than 6-0 and 162 pounds, but they were one of the most devastating backfields of all time, taking the Irish to a 30-2 record over the course of their college careers. And this was all the way back in 1922, when players stayed on the field for both offense and defense. • Notre Dame might not have a band, but we have the best fight song of all time. • Gameday in South Bend means no advertisements, no B-list celebrities lurking around the sidelines and no Jumbotron. Just 80,000 crazed fans singing every cheer and throwing each other into the air. • Notre Dame has one impressive record; nine straight bowl losses. That’s the NCAA record! • When USC needs to, it gets lucky. In John Robinson’s last game (his first time around) at USC, the Trojans had the ball at Notre Dame’s one-yard line. USC running back Michael Harper fumbled trying to punch it in, but the referees called it a touchdown anyway. Sorry! • USC has won the last five meetings between these two schools by a combined score of 208-92. In that span, the Trojans have not scored less than 34 points against the Fighting Irish in each meeting. USC has also beaten Notre Dame by 20 points or more in the three games played at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Ace Paint - a simple plan for success.

PTfic 5:Ty TDPs Game Ball Goes To: PLAN YOUR ESCAPE Muhlenberg College By Stephanie Plotino For most people, it’s not very often that they see a 220-pound lineman running around in a skirt, but on the Muhlenberg College campus, it is an annual sight. to coffee to donuts. The student-athletes went door-to-door among local businesses located near the college’s campus in Allentown, Pa., and most merchants were happy to get involved. For the last three years, the Muhlenberg football and field hockey teams have faced off against each other in a charity field hockey game, and every year the big, burly football players show up in field hockey kilts, while the women abandon their usual garb to don oversized football jerseys. “Usually when we would go to a pizza place, we would just ask for one pie,” Musselman says. “Anthony’s Pizza gave us a few pies. And Starbucks gave us a whole gift basket of cookies to raffle off.” “I’m an offensive lineman, so I’m a big guy running around in this field hockey skirt that goes halfway around my waist,” says Muhlenberg senior footballer Mike Gawel. “It’s a good advertising point.” In the first two years of the charity event, the student-athletes donated their proceeds to the Fox Chase Cancer Center, based in Philadelphia. Over those'first two years, the players raised about $900, bringing the three-year total of funds raised through the event close to $1,700. Gawel’s teammate and fellow senior, defensive lineman Chris Musselman, adds, “At first it kind of seemed like it was going to be embarrassing [to wear a kilt], but if you don’t think about it, it doesn’t really bother you. Knowing that it’s all in fun, you just kind of shrug it off and have fun with it.” Although it’s all fun and games on the field, the players know they are there to take care of business. This spring Gawel, Musselman and two field hockey representatives chose the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania (SOPA) as the beneficiary of their fundraiser and brought in $760 for the organization. “We wanted to choose a charity that was sports-related,” says Gawel. The 2007 campaign was the most lucrative thus far, and the SOPA which strives to “provide year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities," as stated on its Web site - was grateful to receive the donation. The organization put the money towards its Operating Fund, which is used to finance general needs, such as athletic equipment, transportation expenses, food and lodging, among other things. “We charged $3 for a raffle ticket, and that’s where all of our proceeds came from," says Muhlenberg field hockey head coach Megan Eddinger. “If anyone wanted to give a donation, the [players] took donations at the. table, too.” The raffle consisted of a slew of prizes donated by local stores and restaurants, including vouchers and coupons for anything from pizza rnMm-- ,1 The student-athletes believe that, what has made the charity event so successful is that it is based around having a good time. “I think people really enjoy ib" Gawef says. “We get a lot of people to come out and support the charity. It’s a good time when we get people to come out and watch us chase a little ball around." V-. r m S..S0H X p E F. This year's game, which took place on April 20, saw the field hockey team defeat the football team by a score of 2-0. The field hockey team now leads the all-time series wfth a perfect 3-0 record. j ' Bonus Features “We go out there, and [the field hockey players] are definitely good at what they do," Musselman says. “Even as big as we are, there are just certain rules that we don’t have any idea what they are. Whistles are blowing every five seconds, and we look up because we have no idea what’s going on." The referees behind the whistles are the Muhlenberg field hockey coaching staff. When asked if that could be a reason why the football team has lost every game, Musselman noted that the refs have actually treated both teams pretty equally. “Really, if our coaches tried to go out there, they wouldn’t have any idea what to call anyway,” Musselman says. fncluding bfuseil.

PICK □1 AND ID WITH ^TV Tommy Tuberville Auburn Head Coach By Jon Cooper Life has been pretty good for Tommy Tuberville since he arrivpH on the plains of Auburn University from the University of Mississioni before the 1999 season. After a 5-6 inaugural campaign as the Tigers head coach — only the third losing season in school history Tuberville s squads have been among the best in the nation Since the start of the 2000 season, only 12 schools in the nation have more wins than Auburn’s 66 (Tuberville has a .739 winnino percentage). ^ His teams have also dominated in the rugged Southeastern Conference, chalking up a league-best 42-14 record in conference play during that span (Florida and LSU are next at 4113). Under Tuberville, the Tigers have won 23 of their last 26 games against SEC schools, and took home the 2004 SEC Championship, when his team recorded a school-best 13-0 season. He’s even tormented in-state rival Alabama, winning five straight Iron Bowls, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished by an Auburn coach since Ralph “Shug” Jordan (one of the men for whom the school’s stadium is named) did so from 1954-58. In addition, Tuberville became the first coach ever to win four games at ‘Bama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium. personality. Always rumored to be going somewhere during the off-season, the only place he went this spring was to the hospital for a surprise appendectomy. A fully recovered Tuberville took time out to talk to Touchdown Illustrated abou\ his 2004 team’s affect on the 2006 BCS balloting, college football’s new rules for 2007 and approaching the 100-wins plateau. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED: Controversy surrounded the BCS two years ago after Auburn was squeezed out of the BCS Title game despite going 13-0. After seeing Florida’s late rise through the polls with one loss to get into last year’s BCS Title game do you think ‘04 Auburn helped ‘06 Florida? TOMMY TUBERVILLE: I don’t think there’s any doubt. It’s timing, It’s a little bit of luck. Going into the last couple of games last season, we were ranked No. 3, ahead of Florida. We don’t lose to Georgia, it’s probably going to be pretty hard to put them in front of us at the end of the season. Then, of course, USC loses. It’s just how things happen. [When we went] 13-0, Oklahoma had a couple of close games at the end of the year, USC did but they were able to pull them out, and kept us out of the picture. It’s how things work out. In our league, it’s very hard to go undefeated. Florida and LSU in the last five years have won National Championships with one loss. But that’s just the way things happen. Along the way, the man once nicknamed “The Riverboat TDI: How do you feel about the new rule changes speeding up the Gambler’’ has overcome game? obstacles that every college coach faces, like graduation TUBERVILLE: I’m on the rules committee.

TUBERVILLE: Television really doesn't have a lot to do with it. On the rule committee we always keep television in mind because they do a lot for college football and it's made it one of the most popular sports going. But we also want to keep in mind that it's for the players and for the fans. Everything we do or have done in the last few years we kept that in mind. But television is a big part of it. If it weren't for them we wouldn't have the facilities that we have or the things that it takes to make this sport better. TD/; What do you think of Nick Saban not only returning to coaching in the SEC West, but at your arch-rival Alabama? TUBERVILLE: Nick's a good football coach. He's been around, he's won. He's in a different situation there in Alabama than he was at LSD, but he's a guy that has got a great work ethic, he understands football and I think he'll make our conference that much better than what it was. Host Doug Williams along with ATI and heavyweight funnyman Ralph highlight this special 2-Disc S IS I siHisiud TDI: You've won five straight Iron Bowls. How does it feel to be on the winning side of such a heated rivalry? TUBERVILLE: It's been fun. We've had a run. They've had some problems and we've been good enough to be on the winning side. But rivalries usually balance out. We just want to win our share. Obviously everybody wants to win the game and when you're on the other side of it for a while it probably wears on you a little bit. I've been on that side before in some other situations. But that's the reason you play the game. That's the reason rivalries are fun because people get into it. They take the winning part big and they take the losing part even bigger. Obviously that's one of the reason's Nick Saban is there, to try and get that turned around and it'll be a challenge for us. featuring over six hours of uncensored standup that tc free speech to its very limii TDI: You began the 2007 season with 95 career victories as a head coach. Have you thought about win No. 100? TUBERVILLE: In a career you always look at certain situations. When I was a young coach I wanted to be a head coach, then I wanted to be a head coach at a major university. I was able to do that at a pretty young age, around 40. But you never dream that you'll win an SEC Championship or that you'll have an opportunity - to win 100 games in a very tough league. You have to have goals and you have to have things that you put in front of you. One hundred wins would be very special but you never look at that. We, as a coaching staff, look at games one at a time. If you win it then you celebrate and you go to the next one. If you lose then you just go to the next one. [One hundred wins] will be fun to think about one day, but right now we just have to take them in stride and try to do the best we can. TDI: You used to be known as “The Riverboat Gambler." Does that nickname still apply or do you feel another nickname is more appropriate? TUBERVILLE: When I first became the head coach at Ole Miss, we were swinging a short stick. We didn't have a lot of things going for us because we lost 24 scholarships, had no TV. I told our team back in 1995, “Hey, we're going to give you a chance to win. We're going to work hard, we're going to try to get better. We're going to BesfBuy.com ✓ go into games trying to win.” We'd go for fourth downs, fake punts, fake field goals. I think it really kept our guys inspired. Even though we weren't a great football team, it gave us a chance to win. We did unorthodox things, onside kicks. That kind of stuck with me when I came to Auburn. We kind of had the same situation when we got to Auburn so we kind of kept it up. Now over the last few years we've had a pretty good football team and we didn't have to take as many chances as we did earlier. But I like to keep the momentum. I like to keep our guys' attention. I like to try to change the momentum of a game by faking a punt or field goal, going for fourth down on our side of the field, those kinds of things. That's just our personality. Our players really like that. I think that they work hard knowing, “Hey, our coach is trying to win the game. Let's help him out." ^ i i. starz ■?mi Sl.u/ Honu; www.starzhoment.com rtftiU LLC All Rights RRsefvet!

Carolina Challenge First-year Coach Butch Davis is trying to convert basketball-crazy Tar Heel fans Into football followers By Brian Lester assistant with the Dallas Cowboys when they won Super Bowls XXXVII and XXXVIII, was able to lead Cleveland to seven victories in his first season, two more than the team had won in its previous two years combined. In 2002, Cleveland reached the playoffs with a 9-7 record, but lost 36-33 in the first round against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The next two seasons would not go so well for Davis, as he won only nine games while losing 23. Still, he has no regrets about his stint with the Browns. S “I think there is every reason to believe Carolina can win a championship in football," says first-year Tar Heels head coach Butch Davis. He has his work cut out for him, trying to convert believers at a university where hoops is king. “They’ve had tremendous success in basketball, but there is success in the athletic department across the board. I had a chance to look at North Carolina, and in my determination, it has everything necessary for a championship football program,” Davis says. “It has access to athletes, great academic credibility and tremendous support and resources.” Still, turning UNC into a champion may turn out to be the greatest challenge of his career, although his past indicates Davis is able to get the job done. In 1995, he took over a Miami program that had its scholarships reduced during his first three seasons. It didn’t matter. The Hurricanes churned out an 8-3 record and went 9-3 a year later, toppling Virginia in the Carquest Bowl. In both seasons, Miami earned a share of the Big East championship. The Hurricanes struggled through a 5-6 campaign the next year, but bounced back in 1998 with a 9-3 record as they defeated North Carolina State in the Micron PC Bowl. Miami’s greatest season under Davis arrived in 2000. A year after finishing 9-4, the Hurricanes stormed through an 11-1 run and finished the year ranked second in the nation in addition to wrapping up an outright Big East title. “The challenge at Miami was a little different than what I am facing here,” says Davis, who finished with a 51-20 record at the helm for the Hurricanes. “At Miami, you had a rather long tradition of winning “Cleveland was a great learning experience and there were a lot of positives,” Davis says. “We took a team that won only five games the. previous two years and won seven games in my first year. We ended up making the playoffs the second year and that was a huge accomplishment. I found out a lot about myself and I am a better coach because of the experience I had in Cleveland.” To fully understand the kind of person Davis is, one must consider that the UNC coach is a fighter. Last March, a dentist found a cancerous growth in his mouth during a routine cleaning. It was diagnosed as non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He underwent chemotherapy as a precautionary measure and the growth was removed. Today, Davis is healthy and focused on putting the UNC football program on the dQhr "'’"TECTtoN Qdidas World's first Fever absorbent anti-perspirant with action 3 tech. map. “The cancer was difficult to deal with, but I had my family and friends to rely on. They helped me through the tough time,” Davis says. “I’ve had all the treatments and the doctors have said everything looks good. I’m happy to be healthy again.” And he’s happy to be a coach again. Davis knows he has his work cut out for him as the Tar Heels went just 3-9 last season under John Bunting. He loves the passion fans have for football in Chapel Hill, and while he promises no instant fix, he does promise success in due time. in football, but we also had to deal with scholarship cuts and people calling for the disbanding of the program. Those challenges don’t exist at UNC. We just need to continue to recruit well because that is the lifeblood of any program." “Building a program is a process,” says Davis, who has coached in 11 postseason games as a head coach at the collegiate level. “There is no immediate quick fix. You have to lay the foundation for the first couple of years for what you want to do. Our ultimate goal is to win a national championship at North Carolina, and I truly believe we can make that happen." ^ Davis left Miami after the 2000 season and took on his next challenge as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

Yellow tank tops, t-shirts and shorts are the rule of the day. Sunglasses are also necessary, given the shadeless atmosphere around the stadium. Skateboards roll along the pavement and footballs fly through the festive air - and suntans are everywhere. By Jeff Cummins ^ Picture a chilly, autumn Saturday morning on your typical college campus. The game is still hours away and the sun is barely coming up, but in the parking lots and parking fields adjacent to America’s collegiate football stadiums, game time is now. Wherever the game is played, tailgating is always part of the experience. The Ivy League schools are known for their upscale style, while on many campuses there are RVs parked as far as the eye can see, some with elaborate designs painted on them, having lined up for their spots as much as four or five days before the game. There are also a few schools where fans moor their boats near the stadium, and create a tailgate party flotilla, what some call a “sterngate party." No matter what approach you take though, in many circles, tailgating has now become as big as the main event. For some fans, attending the game has become optional, and the tailgate party is the highlight of the weekend. At Mississippi, tailgating is traditionally referred to as “groving," probably because there are few vehicles on the grove, though plenty are parked on adjacent roads. Instead, the pre-game parties are hosted in a veritable city of party t4nts, as revelers go from one tent to another, sampling food and Exchanging stories. Partygoers frequently arrive days in advance to reserve the spot for their tents, and have even been known to arrive in the middle of the night. If Ole Miss wins, that’s a plus, but a defeat certainly won’t stop the faithful from enjoying themselves. Fans are bundled up more at Madison, Wise., where virtually everything is bright Wisconsin Badger red. Sweatshirts, sweaters and official Wisconsin Badger jackets replace the t-shirts early in October, when the first chill comes. Badgers’ fans favor the long­ time staple of Big Ten tailgating, the grilled bratwurst, which is often referred to in tailgating circles as “brats on the grill. Yet, while the aroma of brats and burgers grilling away fills the air, not everyone wants to cook. For Wisconsin fans who want to tailgate without cooking, there is an outstanding option The Badger Bash," which is held at Union South in Madison two hours Naturally, weather plays a big role in the type of tailgate parties thrown at a particular school. Each region has its own style, its own charm. Some schools make the event a fashion show, like Mississippi does at “The Grove," which covers 10 acres in the middle of campus. Large oak trees and magnolias provide shade and enhance the atmosphere, while women frequently attend parties in dresses, with men wearing ties under jackets and sweaters, all with a sense of style and southern hospitality. In this environment, 2007 looks almost exactly like 1957, and the grandparents attending the game almost surely engaged in the same rituals decades before. li .L. before kickoff. Even the school’s mascot, Bucky the Badger, makes an appearance. Outside one of the nation’s most scenic venues, Kenan Stadium at North Carolina, fans dress in shorts and t-shirts or sweaters, depending on the variable weather, and the taste of the south holds sway at Chapel Hill tailgates. College football’s influence is evident throughout the nation, as tailgating has expanded beyond its college football roots to every major sport, concerts, graduations, and even high school sporting events on occasion. In some instances, tailgating at college football games has even influenced — and been influenced by — corporate parties and hospitality, such as “The Hunt" in Somerset County, New Jersey and the Potomac Hunt Race in suburban Maryland. . j Football Festivities In some cases, actual vehicle tailgates are still used. But that's just the beginning. The marketing of tailgating gear has become a year-round industry, including all forms of tents, tables, cookware, grills, gas generators and more. There is even a swingout table that can be attached to the rear of one’s vehicle, allowing guests to stand at a table while eating. Tailgating has also become a source of revenue generation for schools, with many hosting official alumni tailgate parties, while other schools provide VIP tailgate parties for corporations and significant benefactors. Corporations use tailgate parties as a way to boost business, using the event for networking opportunities and team building exercises. After its humble beginnings, tailgating has evolved from the days when it was thought of as little more than a brief bite to eat at the rear of a horse and buggy. Now vehicles are designed with tailgating in mind as one of the primary functions. Some parties hire bands to play at their tailgates, others have speakers. Some tailgate parties are still the small, three and four-person affairs that the tradition originated from. Others have become elaborate affairs that require as much planning and preparation as a wedding. There’s no one correct way to hold a tailgate party. Simple works better in some instances; elaborate is better in other instances. Ultimately, the party is limited only by the creativity, imagination and budget of the hosts. One thing is sure: Tailgate parties will continue to evolve, but the one thing that will always remain the same is the people, the partygoers who will always enjoy the party. # Jeff Cummins may be reached at jeffcummins@optonline.net. storm Clouds Have Silver Lining By Kristy Booher COLLEGE School NgWS 5J No team. No field. No uniforms. Sounds like a stormy beginning for anyone looking to join the collegiate football world - anyone that is but Lake Erie College, a private NCAA Division III institution in northeast Ohio. When president Michael T. Victor proposed the idea of starting a football program to the Board of Trustees back in early 2006, the suggestion seemed preposterous for a 150-year old school - which up until 1985 was an all-female college known for its equestrian program. Nonetheless, the trustees of the 73-percent female institution unanimously approved the proposal, and Lake Erie was off and running in developing what will become its 14th varsity sport. The college hired Mark McNellie - who previously was a member of Mercyhurst College's coaching staff for the past 16 years - to head the program. For a few months, it was the ambitious Bedford, Ohio native on his own, with no business cards, no office, no assistants, and no home field, trying to establish a new team. Needless to say, the task seemed overwhelming. But now a year later, McNellie has a staff of nine coaches, a roster of 100-plus players, a schedule of 10 games and a stadium with more than $100,000 worth of renovations. He also has a campus and a community buzzing with enthusiasm for a program which will compete at the club level during the fall of 2007 before its first varsity season in 2008. Currently Lake Erie College has 13 varsity teams competing within D-lll. Additionally, the school is in its second year of exploratory status, anticipating provisional Division II status for the fall of 2008. The move into D-ll would make Lake Erie the first institution in northeast Ohio to compete at that level and only the fifth of its kind in the entire state. Before all of that happens, however, McNellie and crew will take the field and make history as possibly the most-highly anticipated TAKE YOUR GAME TO THE LIMIT Try cool, refreshing, chewy mint flavored HOT TAMALES® ICE”!

From the president and the Trustees, to the athletic department and the students - not to mention the Painesville City community everyone is on board for Lake Erie College football. The team's first club game is September 1 against the Central Canadian All-Star team. Storm supporters are preparing for the firstever tailgate, which is expected to become a weekly tradition. Storm fan gear has been ordered and the Thunder mascot costume is in production. Several horses are in training to present the American and Canadian flags, a nod to the college's nationally-recognized equestrian program, and a local high school marching band has signed on for all five home contests. Deals are also in the works to broadcast the games on a local AM radio station. It may seem like a lot of buildup for a program that is only considered club level at this time, but the hype is well deserved considering the spark the team has provided for the entire institution. Enrollment has increased, with this year’s freshman class of 300 equaling the largest in school history. New majors have been added, including Sports Management and a campus-wide beautification process has been put in motion, complete with landscaping and building renovations. In addition, a new marketing campaign has put telephone pole banners around the city and billboards around the state. Plans to build additional campus housing and facilities have also been created. Overall, it's a wonderful time to be associated with Lake Erie College. And no matter their record at the end of this first season, these Storm clouds definitely have a silver lining. ^ Edinboro Fighting Scots No. NamePos. Ht. Wt.

PRESENTED BY Three Heisman Trophy TDI ABOUT LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL. THE HEISMANT By Steve Siniski 51 To most, they are the heroes of yesterday, representatives of greatness in college football. They are forever revered for their actions on the field, and for the 72 winners of the Heisman Trophy the award serves as merely a jumping off point. Touchdown Illustrated tracked down three former winners, finding out that life off the field has been just as rewarding as between the sidelines. Archie Griffin, RB, Ohio State (1974-75 Heisman Trophv Winner! Griffin became a legend by running away from people and avoiding contact during his four years at Ohio State (1972-75). But times have changed over the last 30-plus years, and the only two-time winner of the Heisman Trophy has pulled off a 180-degree turn in adding to his legacy at The Ohio State University. Now, Griffin is making big strides running into people and making contact, as the Buckeyes Alumni Association Archie Griffin (NFF Photo Archives) President/CEO. The new objective suits Griffin just fine. “When you consider the fact that your job is keeping alumni connected to the university that you love, it gives me a great feeling," he says. The Ohio State University has been a part of Griffin's makeup seemingly forever. Born at the University’s medical center, he hasn’t strayed too far from the campus in 53 years. After starring for the Buckeyes and playing for the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL, Griffin returned to his alma mater as a member of the Human Resources Department in 1984. Following a 19-year tenure as the associate director of athletics, he took on his current position in 2004, where he oversees a staff of 62 people and tries to connect— or re-connect—with an alumni base numbering over 400,000. “It’s an honor to have the position I’m in,” he says. Andre Ware, QB, Houston (19891 Andre Ware (UH Photo Archives) winners talk to Ware’s playing days have been over since 1999, but the 55*^ winner of the Heisman Trophy hasn’t strayed far from the gridiron. In fact, you might say he’s simply moved up in the world—literally—trading in his helmet and shoulder pads for a microphone and a seat in the broadcast booth. The former Houston Cougar, who threw 46 touchdowns during his Heisman season, doesn’t toss scoring passes anymore, he calls them as a member of the Houston Texans radio broadcast team. Though he was a marketing major at Houston, Ware always had an interest in broadcasting and began his second career not long after his playing days ended, calling games for his alma mater. “It keeps me close to the game,” he says. “It’s a game I grew up loving and still have a passion for without the bangs and bruises. I have the best seat in the house.” A member of the Heisman Winners Association, Ware is active in helping raise money for a variety of charities, Some of which provide endowments and scholarships, others which include his own personal time. And if there’s one lasting memory from 1989 for Ware, it’s the fact that his individual Heisman became a team award. “It was the first time a player won the trophy from a team on probation,” he says. “It became a rallying cry for the team so-to-speak. It was my opportunity to share with my teammates. I got to share it with a great group of guys.” Ty Detmer. QB. BYU (199QI It’s only been two seasons since Detmer officially hung up his cleats, but the former quarterback, whose professional career spanned six teams and 14 seasons after he captured the 56th Heisman Trophy at BYU, is still involved with the game.

If you help some guys now when they’re young, [they’ll be better off].” Detmer’s also taken a proactive approach in using his status as a member of the Heisman Winners Association and the charities they represent, a win-win situation for the exclusive group. “It’s a chance for [Heisman] winners to get together, put their resources together and raise money [for charities],” Detmer says. ^ Steve Siniski is a freelance writer based in New York. stadium heritage lives on in SEC By Chris A. Weber SJ Hang up on that wireless service, deposit your money in that mattress and leave the ketchup bottle on the shelf. When it comes to the names of football stadiums in the Southeastern Conference, you won’t find the far-reaching tentacles of corporate America clinging to the facades. These are Saturday cathedrals we’re talking about here, when folks in the Bible Belt attend church not once, but twice. From Kentucky to Arkansas, hundreds of thousands of fans and alumni make their VETERAN INFLUENCE 5J In college basketball, Texas Tech head coach Bobby Knight may be nicknamed “The General,” but Robert Reese Neyland actually attained the prestigious military ranking. A Texas native and West Point graduate, Neyland was an engineer who led the University of Tennessee football team from 1926-52, twice taking leave to fulfill military service (first in Panama and later in World War II). Prior to that, Neyland also served during World War I. A brigadier general when he left the military in 1946, Neyland’s background dovetailed perfectly with the regimen of college football, where he led the Vols to 173 wins in 213 games, six SEC titles and four national championships. He retired in 1952 as the school’s all-time leader in victories before serving as the school’s athletics director until his death in 1962. Built in 1919, Neyland Stadium (formerly called Shields-Watkins Field) has grown to become the largest stadium in the conference, seating 102,038. It might be assumed that Neyland would be surprised at the size of the stadium that bears his name today. But Tennessee athletics director Mike Hamilton believes otherwise. “Being an engineer, I think General Neyland would be amazed at how the stadium has grown throughout the years, [but] he was known for thinking big,” Hamilton says. “In fact, he envisioned a 20,000-seat basketball arena years before it came to fruition.” you know? ^^ ' Campus mixers: Prior to being hired as Auburn’s head football coach in 1951, “Shug" Jordan also coached basketball at Georgia, compiling 45 wins.

In 1982, it was renamed to include Johnny Vaught, the legendary Rebels’ head coach. lamed in his honor, in 1929. 0 0 A naval lieutenant commander in World War II, Vaught took over the program in 1947, leading the school to five SEC titles and a share of three national championships.

Heading east just over the state line, Auburn’s 87,451-seat JordanHare Stadium at Pat Dye Field also recognizes a coach and military veteran. James Ralph “Shug" Jordan led the Tigers to the national title in 1957 and ranks first in wins among all Auburn football coaches. A 1932 graduate of Auburn, Jordan lettered in three sports before seeing action in World War II, where he earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his efforts during the invasion of Normandy. He also saw action in North Africa, Sicily and in the Pacific. Jordan’s name graced the stadium in 1973 (while he was still coaching no less, making the stadium the first to be named after an ,# 'i ^ active coach), joining Clifford Leroy Hare, a member of the Auburn's first football team who later became a professor and dean in the School of Chemistry. Hare’s name was added in 1949, replacing the original moniker of Auburn Stadium. Pat Dye, another successful coach who paced the sidelines with his trademark orange and blue ties from 1981-92, was a 2002 College Football Hall of Fame inductee who was given field naming honors in 2005.

At Tennessee, Shields-Watkins Field earned its name thanks to Colonel W.S. Shields, president of Knoxville’s City National Bank and a University of Tennessee trustee, who provided the initial capital to prepare and equip an athletic field. Completed in 1921, it was named Shields-Watkins Field in recognition of the donor and his wife, Alice Watkins-Shields. UNFINISHED BUSINESS ^ Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field (88,548) is affectionately known as “The Swamp," but its official title is given with good reason. Originally labeled Florida Field when it was completed in 1930, the stadium was renamed in 1990 to honor Ben Hill Griffin Jr., a citrus baron, cattle rancher and “near-alumnus” whose passion for Gators football was matched only by his enthusiastic generosity. Griffin gained his knowledge of citrus as a student at the University of Florida. A hard­ working man, he left school in 1933 after three years because he had taken all the agriculture classes that were available and had gleaned all the education he needed. At Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina, school officials have steadily increased the stadium’s capacity since its completion in 1934. Today, what once was a 17,600 stadium is now an 80,250-seat marvel, but enhancing its size required enhanced generosity. In 1972, seating was increased to more than 53,000, thanks in large part to a gift of $2.75 million, made on behalf of the estate of the late Mrs. Martha Williams Brice, whose family operated a successful furniture company in Sumter. Williams Brice was married to Thomas H. Brice, who lettered with the Gamecocks from 1922-24. The stadium was rededicated in 1972.

But he always remembered his time in Gainesville, and would repay the university for his partial education in kind, with donations totaling nearly $20 million over the course of his lifetime.

True Roots GONE-, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN EHJ Although the University of Kentucky has called Commonwealth Stadium home since 1973, the men whose names once graced the team’s previous home, long since torn down, are not forgotten. Etched on plaques on Commonwealth's grounds are the late Judge Richard C. Stoll, a prominent alumnus, trustee and benefactor and Price Innes McLean, a former player whose career met a tragic end. In 1916, Kentucky officials christened the team’s first football field as Stoll Field, with McLean gaining joint billing eight years later. McLean was a center on the 1923 squad who died as a result of injuries sustained in a November game versus Cincinnati. He was 22 years old. The following season, the stadium grandstands were named in his honor. # Members Only Florida football powerhouses welcome new additions to the club By Jeff Levers EJ College football fans \will always argue over what team is the best in a given year. The same can’t be said though when the question comes up asking which state has been the most dominant in the modern era. Florida wins that discussion hands down — with no need for a recount — due to the level of excellence the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of Miami have exhibited in the past 25 years. From 1982 through 2006, the “Big Three" have combined to win nine of the last 25 national titles, 28 conference championships, and compiled a record of 704-194-7 (.784). They have been able to maintain that level of success thanks to being located in the most fertile recruiting ground in the country. Due to year-round warmth, athletes in Florida can compete outdoors for 12 months, playing a big factor in the quality of athletes the state produces. With more time to practice and develop their skills, these highly trained studentathletes don't have to look far to find top quality programs.

But it looks like the state will soon be admitting four more members. Schools like the University of South Florida, University of Central Florida, Florida Atlantic University, and Florida International University — once considered Florida college football afterthoughts — have developed into legitimate programs.

In 2005, they moved from Conference USA to the Big East and scored impressive wins over Louisville in 2005 and West Virginia in 2006. They play their home games in Raymond James Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I didn’t really think about playing running back at all." In the case of Chris Long, coaches at the University of Virginia didn’t mess with the family recipe of success.

Not every father is as strict as Johnson when it comes to a son’s choice of school. Daniel Lofton is the son of James Lofton, an eight-time All-Pro and NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver, who attended Stanford University and twice interviewed for the school’s head coaching position. Yet when the time came to choose a school, young Daniel diverged from the path of his father and older brother, David, who was a safety in Palo Alto from 2002 through 2006, and went to...gasp, the University of California-Berkeley.

I’ll be lucky enough to maybe meet a Michael Strahan, who I got to sit down and talk with for about five minutes at the National Championship game because I was with my dad. It’s really valuable to a kid like me who’s trying to do what I’m trying to do, just to soak up all the knowledge they can [offer].’’ Ohio State junior wide receiver Brian Robiskie also was able to mingle with big name stars thanks to his dad’s career. “I got a chance to be around Tim Brown at a really young age, before I think I was even playing football,” recalls Robiskie, the Buckeyes’ leading returning receiver heading into 2007. Robiskie’s father, Terry, starred at LSD, where he was the 1976 SEC Most Valuable Player. Terry has coached in the NFL since 1982 and is currently wide receivers coach for the Miami Dolphins. “I really wasn’t paying attention, but now I can see that he was definitely one of the hardest workers that I was around,” adds Brian, whose father was an assistant coach with the Oakland Raiders from 1982 through 1993. “I got a chance to meet Jerry Rice. To hear from him the kind of work and the kind of determination you need to play the game and to play receiver, that helped me a lot.

He’s supported me every step of the way. It’s just a coincidence that me and him were both quarterbacks.” Dionte Johnson, a senior fullback at Ohio State, also never felt the pressure to follow in his father’s footsteps. His dad, Thomas “Pepper” Johnson, starred at linebacker for OSU before playing 13 years in the NFL. Pepper is now a defensive line coach for the New England Patriots, and is a member of the Ohio State Varsity “O" Hall of Fame. “That’s one thing about my father, he never made it so that I felt like I had to come to Ohio State,” says Dionte, who also has a brother, mother, and godfather (former NFL star Keith Byars) who graduated from OSU. “His whole thing was, just don’t go to Michigan. As “It’s pretty ironic, because in coming to Cal, my dad was probably my biggest supporter,” says Daniel, a redshirt freshman receiver. “He thought it was the best fit for me instead of just the best fit in other people’s minds.

Even though it gets brought up, at the same time it’s kind of good to be the first Lofton to have my name associated with the school.” So what happens on Dec. 1, when the hated rivals lineup for The Big Game? Sometimes the most important advice a son can get isn't about X’s and O’s. “[My dad] wants me to do whatever my heart desires,” Boise State sophomore quarterback Nick Lomax says, whose father, Neil, graduated from Portland State as the holder of 90 NCAA passing records, before embarking on an eight-year NFL career. “He didn’t Dionte Johnson, son of former NFL linebacker, “Pepper” Johnson (Photo by Ohio State) CONTINUED At What’s in a Name?

It’s as ough 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.

HgMlngScot All-Americans Harlan HOI Trophy Two Edinboro University football players have been finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy presented annually to the top player in NCAA Division II football. 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-Arnerican 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 Pennsylvama State Athletic Conference records for touchdowns (24) and points (148). He led the Fighting Scots to the PSAC West title, a 8-3 record and a number seven ranking in the final Division II 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. Three years ago Andre Burke (below) made a run at the Harlon Hill Trophy, as the tailback was a Northeast Region semifinalist. Burke ended up with a school-record 1,713 yards and 19 TDs.

Rachael Lanzel, Edinboro Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Commissioner Steve Murray has announced that 1,420 student-athletes from the league will be recognized as “Scholar-Athletes” for the 2006-07 academic year. 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.
