SECDNDARY DDD FREE DF THIEVERY

Edinboro’s youthful secondary tandem of Raji El-Amin and Chris Avery have
committed plenty of acts of thievery lately. Each has intercepted a pass in the
last three games, and both now have 7 interceptions on the year. The com­
bined 14 interceptions is a record for two players, and they are just one shy of
the school record of 8 set by Dave Parker in 1982 and Jack McCurry in 1971.
El-Amin had a pair of pickoffs and a fumble recovery against Kutztown.

a slim 108-95 margin in the first half, but the second half is a different
story. Edinboro has outscored the opposition 71-15 in the third quarter

WaCDME TO HWIMIIMI
Dear Family, Friends and Fans of the Fighting Scots:

SCHWAB CO
Welcome to Edinboro University and thank you for your interest in
Fighting Scot Football. We are proud of the spirit of excellence, teamwork and
collegiality that is fostered by our men’s and women’s programs in basketball,
cross country, football, soccer, softball, swimming, track, volleyball, wrestling,
and wheelchair basketball. Our student-athletes are unique and dedicated
individuals who excel both in and out of the classroom. They entertain and
inspire us through competition in the PSAC, EWL and NWBA athletic confer­
ences.
The University-wide theme that will guide us through our Sesquicentennial celebration in
the year 2006-07 is, ^‘Building a prosperous future through academic excellence and civility. ” This
theme challenges the academic community to consider its role in enabling the success and vitality of
our students and the region, state, nation, and world that w serve. Clearly, athletic events and pro­
grams enhance the quality of life for the northwestern Pennsylvania region while also providing stu­
dent-athletes and others with learning experiences that will serve them for a lifetime.
I express appreciation to our coaches and Athletics administration and stafffor the excellent
leadership and guidance they provide for our student-athletes. It’s great to be a Fighting Scot fan!
Go Scots!

Dear Fans:
Since arriving in Edinboro in January 2000, I have felt it is essential that we give to the community
and vice versa. It has been very gratifying to the response of local organizations in assisting Edinboro
football. Three years ago the service organizations proved invaluable working at the Bills - Browns
scrimmage, and for the last two years have run our 50/50 raffles. Thier assistance was greatly appre­
ciated. Myself and my coaching staff looks forward to working with these organizations once
again this year, and thank them for their support of Edinboro Football.

HEADGOACH lou
Tapper

ESMSBO

football coach at Edinboro
University, officially taking charge
of the Fighting Scot program on
January 5, 2000.
Tepper inherited an Edinboro
prograrn which had won just eleven
games in the previous three sea­
sons. The Scots have shown con­
sistent improvement in “Coach
Tep’s” three years. The 2000 sea­
son brought a 5-6 record, matching
the Edinboro record for wins by a
first-year head coach, and a fifth
place PSAC finish. Three of the
losses, however, were lopsided. In
2001, Edinboro finished with a deceiving 4-6 record. The Fighting
Scots were competitive in every contest and finished third in the
PSAC. The victories included a stunning 14-7 upset over 17thranked Slippery Rock.

Background
Tepper, a native of Keystone, PA, returned to the Division II
level after coaching at Division I institutions for almost thirty
years. He is
renowned as a

Simeon Rice,

President, Edinboro University
Brad Hopkins,
Booger
MacFarland, and Ken Dilger, all current NFL standouts. In addi­
tion, he has worked with some of the top head coaches in the
country, including Bill Dooley at Virginia Tech, Bill McCartney at
Colorado, John Mackovic at Illinois and Gerry DiNardo at LSU.
"Being a native of western Pennsylvania, it has been neat to be
a head coach again and to be a head coach in this environment,"
Tepper related following his first season at Edinboro. 'Tve recruit­
ed western Pennsylvania for half of my career. It’s a joy to be
back home."
Tepper completed his second full season as the defensive coor­
dinator at Louisiana State University in 1999. He began his tenure
with the Tigers on December 15, 1997, helping LSU to a 27-9
Independence Bowl win over Notre Dame. All told, he has served
as a defensive coordinator for 19 of his 36 years in the coaching
profession.

Big Ten Head Coach
The 57-year-old Tepper was appointed the head coach at the
University of Illinois on December 13, 1991, just prior to the
team's appearance in the John Hancock Sun Bowl. He replaced
Mackovic, who left for the head coaching position at the
University of Texas. During his five year stint as the Fighting
mini head coach, Tepper compiled a record of 25-31-2, including
two more bowl appearances. He guided Illinois to a pair of wins
over Ohio State, including one at Columbus; the school's first vic­
tory in Ann Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consec­
utive wins over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as
impressive, Tepper graduated 91 percent of his seniors.
Tepper joined the Illinois program in 1988, serving as the
defensive coordinator for four seasons and assistant head coach for
two years. In his nine seasons at Illinois, he helped the program to
six bowl invitations, one Big Ten title and top ten rankings in the
AP and UPI polls.
h
g
c
He was honored as the Big Ten's top defensive assistant coach
m 1990 by The Sporting News. His defensive units annually
ranked among the best in the country, finishing 10th iii 1989 14th
m 1993, ninth in 1994, and 21st in 1995.
Tepper’s 1992 Illini squad finished 6-5-1, suffering a 27-17
defeat to Hawaii in the Holiday Bowl. Illinois went in to
Columbus and upset Ohio State, 18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie
against Michigan in Ann Arbor.
While his ‘93 edition finished 5-6, that included a 24-21 win
m Ann Arbor against the Wolverines. The Illini made it back to
postseason play in 1994, handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewash­
ing m the Liberty Bowl. The ‘94 squad finished 7-5, again upset­
ting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once again it was on the
road, as Illinois shocked Ohio State, 24-10, in Columbus behind
Butkus Award winner Dana Howard.

Linebackers
While Penn State has
gained the reputation as
"Linebacker U", Illinois could
make a good case for that des­
ignation as well during Tepper's
tenure. He produced consecu­
tive Butkus Award winners in
Dana Howard (1994) and
Kevin Hardy (1995). Along the
way, he also produced Big Ten
Defensive Players of the Year
in Moe Gardner and Darrick
Brownlow (1990), Howard
(1993 and '94) and Big Ten
Defensive Lineman of the Year
Simeon Rice in 1994. For the
only time in Big Ten history,
Tepper had four first team AllBig Ten linebackers at his dis­
posal. In all, he has coached
over 25 professional lineback­
ers, and recently wrote the
book, "Complete Linebacking",
a 312-page comprehensive
book on linebacker play.
Hardy and Rice became
the highest defensive draft duo
|n the history of the NFL draft
in 1996 when Hardy went sec­
ond to Jacksonville and Rice
third to Arizona. That stood
until the 2000 NFL Draft when
Penn State’s Courtney Brown
and Lavar Arrington went onetwo.

departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped turn around a Buffalo
defense which ranked No. 100 nationally in yards allowed prior to
his arrival, to one which was as high as 11th in Division I in total
defense. He earned the title of assistant head coach to McCartney

SOXHASRISON STADIIM

Sox Harrison Stadium serves as the home of the
Fighting Scots. Dedicated in 1965, the stadium honors
the memory of B. Regis “Sox” Harrison, the head foot­
ball 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, then returned to
guide the gridders in 1941 and ‘42. In addition, he
guided the men’s basketball team for 23 seasons, from
1928-53, winning 175 games.
Sox Harrison Stadium seats 6,000 people in its two
grandstands, along with plenty of standing room. In
addition to press boxes on both sides of the stadium,
the facility has locker rooms, a training room and com­
plete amenities for fans.
The stadium has undergone several renovations,
including a new sound system and improved handi­
capped access areas in 1999. In 1997, a new grand­
stand was constructed on the visitor’s side of the field,
adding 2,500 permanent seats, along with a press box,
locker rooms and a training room.
In addition to the football field, the facility contains
complete track facilities.

One of the common threads that ran between both
coaclies was that they claimed to face relatively little stress
throughout their careers.
"I never thought of getting fired; it never entered my
mind," said Kidd, for whom the football stadium at Eastern
Kentucky is named. "I only signed one-year contracts and I
had a special pride in our school. I wanted our kids to be
good citizens."
Throughout his career, Kidd's "good citizens" also proved
to be pretty dominant on the gridiron, winning 315 games,
ranking Kidd second only to former Grambling coach Eddie
Robinson on the all-time NCAA Division 1-AA wins list On Kidd's

I any magic panacea that could
fix a team's ills and build
instant success. But, both coaches were staunch believers
in sound fundamentals and good discipline.
"We had a good disciplined program, and all our kids went
to class," said Kidd. "I had a player who took me outto dinner
with his wife and said, 'I didn't even like you until I was 30.'"
Raymond pointed outthat despite trends in coaching, he
always remained true to his basic tenets.
"Something I feel very strongly about is that I never
went anywhere else to find anything [in terms of strategies
or formations]," he said. "I think more games are lost by doing
something that you can't do."
Coaching will always remain in the blood of these two greats,
and Raymond summed up their feelings on their profession.
"Coaching's just always been a lot of fun," he said.
"Ifs not just my vocation, it's my avocation. I should have
paid to be there." ■

GET THE GOOD STUFF

ith all due respect to the folks in the Big East, ACC, SEC,
Big 12 and Pac-10 conferences, there is only one true college
football rivalry.
Sure, Miami-Florida-Florida State, Alabama-Auburn and OklahomaNebraska are among the finest match-ups year-in and year-out. But for
pure intensity, history and legacy, nothing beats the perennial battle of
Big Ten titans Michigan and Ohio State.

W

"Ohio State-Michigan is the game," says Earle Bruce, head coach
at OSD from 1979-87. "Like Coach [Woody] Hayes used to say: if you won.

you would walk the high and broad and the main streets. And if you lost,
you would walk the back alleys for a year. That's the importance of that
game. If you win, you consider it a successful season. You can be 9-0,
10-0 and lose against Michigan and you're nothing. You didn't do the job."
"You can't put into words what that game means," says Don Dufek,
an All-America defensive back for Michigan in 1975. "For one week,
everything and everyone in Ann Arbor and Columbus comes to a stand
still. But the game is talked about all year long."

The greats at the wide receiver position who have

THE HISTORY

(below! and Anthony Carter of Michigan (right),

The first game took place in 1897.
Michigan demolished Ohio State,
34-0. The schools wouldn’t meet
again until 1900 when they played
to a scoreless tie. Since then, it’s
become the backyard brawl to end
backyard brawls.
There have been many, many
memorable games. However, to
single out a handful does not do
justice to the fabled series. Some do
immediately come to mind though,
like Tom Harmon’s farewell in 1940, |
in which the Wolverines crushed the
Buckeyes, 40-0; the Snow Bowl of
1950; the 1968 contest—a 50-14
drubbing by OSU that Woody Hayes j
called the Buckeyes greatest victory ,
ever; and the controversial 10-10 tie ^
in 1973, v;hich sent OSU to the Rose f

and others took their lumps, like the Buckeyes’
David Boston (bottom right).

Bowl. More recently, Michigan

j

thwarted No. 2 Ohio State’s national '
championship hopes with upset

victories in 1995 and ’96.

THE PUYERS
There is no secret ingredient for winning the
Michigan-Ohio State game. Alt it comes down to
is talent.
"You win if you’re great players play great and
you lose If your great players don’t play great,”
says Earle Bruce, who was 81-26-1 while at the
Buckeyes helm.
The players who have participated in the fabled
series are a who’s who of college football. Ohio
State has produced five Heisman Trophy winners:
Les Horvath (1944), Vic Janowicz (1950), Howard
Hopalong Cassady (1955), Archie Griffin (1974-75)
and Eddie George (1995). Michigan’s Heisman
winners are Tom Harmon (1940), Desmond Howard
(1991) ari(d Charies Woodson (1997).
other notable Michigan players include former
President Gerald Ford, who anchored Michigan’s
offensive line for the 1932 and ’33 national cham­
pionship teams, and three-time All-American’s
Bennie Oosterban (1925-27), Rick Leach (1975-78)
and Anthony Carter (1980-82). College Football
Hall of Fame center Gomer Jones (1934-35), guard
Jim Parker (1954-56), quarterback Rex Kern
(1968-70), tackle John Hicks (1970-73) and wide
receiver Cris Carter (1984-86) are just a few of the
legendary Buckeyes.
So many great players have come and gone—
Heisman Trophy winners, All-Americans and
Academic All-Americans,” says Mike Tomczak,
the former Ohio State quarterback who led the
Buckeyes to a 1984 Fiesta Bowl victory.

When defending national
champion Ohio State travels to
Ann Arbor on IMov. 22 to play
Michigan, it will mark the 100th

to like Michigan
for some reason. But
as a player, I think
you always respected
Michigan because you
knewsomeoftheguys

game between the storied Midwest
schools. The Wolverines hold a
56-37-6 advantage.
There are a number of
factors that make the contestthe
hottestticketin November. None
more apparentthan geography.
"The biggest reason the
game has so much meaning is
we are neighboring states,"
says Buckeye great Archie Griffin, the only twotime Heisman Trophy winner. "We have a lot of things
in common. But in the end, we both want to be the best"
Part of the lore is that both programs recruit
heavily in each other's states. Many of the players
who have participated in the rivalry possess a
familiarity with each other from playing high school
ball or competing on all-star teams before suiting
up for either the Maize and Blue or Scarlet and Gray.
Jim Lachey, an All-America guard for the
Buckeyes in 1984, says the seeds are planted
early when it comes to pledging allegiance to either
Ohio State or Michigan. Growing up in St. Henry,
Ohio, Lachey, who played professionally for the
Washington Redskins, was taught that rooting for
the Wolverines was taboo.
That was inbred in me from the time I started
watching the game," says Lachey, a color analyst
for Buckeye football radio broadcasts who
was recruited by Michigan. "I knew I wasn't allowed

on their team. You knew
deep down they were
good guys but made a
bad choice. You had to
beat them and make them
pay for it."
Rick Leach was
destined to be a Wolverine.
The three-time All-America
quarterback was bom in Ann
Arbor, and his father, Dick, and uncle. Bob, were
outstanding baseball players at Michigan. To him, Ohio
State was the enemy. However, it wasn't until he stepped
on the football field and barked signals across from
the Buckeyes defense that he got the full gist of
what the rivalry was all about.
'Every game was very physical and tough," says
Leach, who led the Wolverines to three straight
Big Ten titles from 1976-78. "It was just a matter
of a lot of great athletes on both sides playing for
their schools, playing for state pride."
Not only is pride on the line when Michigan and
Ohio State strap it on, jobs are on the line as well.
Many a successful coach has been fired due to a
lack of maintaining superiority in the illustrious series.
"If you lose three times to Michigan, it normally
means your job," says Bruce.

While coaching greats such as Bennie Oosterban,

Head coaches Jim Tressel of Ohio State and Lloyd Carr of Michigan (right] are looking to have a Iona

Francis Schmidt's Buckeyes trounced Michigan
by a combined scored of 114-0 between 1934-37

was John Cooper. Despite a 111-43-4 record during
his 13 years in Columbus, Cooper, the second
winningest coach in OSU history, was sent packing
after coming up on the short end of a miserable
2-10-1 record ogainst the Wolverines.
No coach is infallible when it comes to bragging

1976-78, losing by a composite score of 50-9.
So, it is easy to see the meaning of this rivalry
for all involved. And, for sure, this 100th installment

It was felt that a healthy Ohio State team would

which lost starting guarterback Dennis Franklin
to a broken collarbone late in the OSU game.
Regardless, Michigan, and specifically head
coach Bo Schembechler, screamed foul. He
suspected that Big Ten Commissioner Wayne
Duke had influenced the vote in Ohio State's favor.
"There were petty jealousies involved and
they used the injury to Franklin as a scapegoat,"
surmised Schembechler following the decision.
Despite Bo's protests and threats of lawsuits,
Ohio State went on to demolish USC, 42-21.

When you think of Ohio State and Michigan,
you think of Woody and Bo," says Bruce. "I think
the guy who established the rivalry is Woody. He
put a great value on the Michigan game."
Hayes first victory over Michigan, 27-7,
occurred in 1953. He won a national title the
following season. In '69, Schembechler guided the
Wolverines to a 24-12 victory during his series
debut as a head coach. Hayes and the Buckeyes
exacted revenge in 70 in Columbus, a game that
Ohio State began to prepare for immediately
following the loss in '69, according to Bruce.
Hayes took the defeat so personally that he read
Schembechler s first book in order to get into
Bo's mind.
The rivalry real took on a life of its own when
Woody and Bo were coaching," says Don Lund, the
MVP for the Wolverines on the 1944 team. "Each

But you would never have known it during their
rivalry. Both were fierce competitors and very
much alike in their approach."

University of Georgia announcer Larry Munson calls it as he sees it—from a Georgia point of view

by

JON COOPER
t's not every day that a broadcaster's call makes the headlines of a
major newspaper, as was the case on Oct. 7,2001. Of course, it's not
every day that a broadcaster like the University of Georgia's Larry
Munson comes along and makes a call like he did the day before.
Georgia had just beaten Tennessee in Knoxville on a late touchdown

I

pass. Here was the call:
"A touchdown!!! My God A!mighty, do you be!ieve what we've done!?!
We stepped on their face with a hobnaiied boot and broke their nose."
"! didn't even know what a hobnaiied boot was," Munson said,
then chuckied."! must have been wanting to reach for something of great
magnitude, because the baiigame was obviousiy going to be something
of great magnitude. So ! dug that out from somewhere."
To Georgia fans, or anyone famiiiar with SEC footba!!, it's another
exampie of the briiiiance of Munson, who's been the voice of the Buildogs
since 1966.
"!'m probably a little too emotional; I might be too much of a homer,"
he said. "I know I've been accused of that."
But that emotion wasn't always focused on Georgia.
"I spent quite a longtime doing Vanderbilt football and basketball,"
Munson said. "I had 16 years there in Nashville. Some of the old tapes
I have, I was hollering bloody murder for their basketball team."
The 51-year veteran Munson, a Minnesota native,
was in Nashville when he got his meal ticket punched
to Georgia in 1966—doing play-by-play for the
Braves, who were moving from Milwaukee to Atlanta.
"The very day I arrived [in Atlanta], there was a story
on the front page of the paper saying thatthe University
of Georgia announcer was going to be doing the
Atlanta Falcons and he was dropping Georgia,"
Munson said. "I knew the people that were at
Georgia, so I picked up the phone and called. The first
morning in [Braves] spring training, I had the Georgia
job by 10:00 before I ever went to the ballpark."
After two years, he left Atlanta to concentrate on
the Bulldogs fulltime. He's been in Athens ever since.
Over the years, Munson's role as part broad­
caster/part cheerleader has led to many memorable
calls, such as the one mentioned earlier. While

From his early days broadcasting in the 1960s (leftj
to today, Larry Munson has been calling it as he

stepped on their face uiith a hobnailed
boot and broke their nose."
Munson liberally uses the word "we" in describing the action and does
"a lot of little things" to change Georgia's luck, he remembers only one
time when he said something over the air to help the team.
"The only thing that ever showed up on the air was [in 1982], when we

were fighting to go back to the Sugar Bowl and have a chance to play Penn
State for a national title," he said. "Auburn was coming down the field, and
we couldn't stop them. I said something like, 'Hunker down, you guys.'

"We stopped them on that first play," he
continued. "So on second down, I said it again. And
we stopped them again. I said it before each play
for four downs. Once we stopped them on first down,
I was afraid not to say it."
For Munson, who's done talk shows, college
basketball and Double-A baseball, there's still

nothing like college football, weekends.
"The anticipation before the game, that's a
very big thing," he said. "I do a long morning walk in whatever city
I'm in and usually smoke a cigar. Quite often I go around and around the
stadium, sometimes the upper rim of the stadium. The game itself is a
sheer joy." ■

CLOSENESS

Christmas Day
While much of America looks forward to spending Christmas Day with family and friends, some college
ootball teams substitute presents and eggnog for tackles and touchdowns. While Santa brings presents
or the Kids, Christmas Day bowl games give fans some special treats.
Lafe in 1991, the word was out: Georgia Tech's coach was
leaving to go coach in the pro's. But not before he coached
one more time for Georgia Tech in the 1991 bowl game in
Honolulu. Although Tech had not approached the level of
play it had the previous season, when it earned a share of
the national championship, it had still won seven games
and was confident heading into its bowl match-up with
18th-ranked Stanford.

Although Stanford struck first, on a six-yard scoring run,
Georgia Tech fought back and took a 10-7 first quarter
lead on a two-yard touchdown pass and a 24-yard field
goal. But the next two quarters were dry for Tech, and
Stanford held a 17-10 lead in the fourth quorter when GT
returned a punt 63 yards to the Stanford 31, with under
three minutes remaining.
GT s offense led a seven-play drive that finished with a oneyard run, with just 14 seconds to play. Tech then went for the
win, by converting on a two-point conversion that gave
Georgia Tech an 18-17 triumph. The yuletide fireworks
continued the following year, when Kansas met Brigham
Young in Howaii. This time, it took just 12 seconds for the
explosion. BYU took the opening kickoff 94 yards for a
touchdown to stake BYU to a 7-0 lead. But Kansas struck
back quickly, scoring less than a minute later with a 74-yard
touchdown pass on a flea flicker. Just 1:01 into the game, it
was already 7-7.

Things settled down after that, and BYU held a 20-12 lead
heading into the fourth quarter. But KU's quarterback took it
over from one yard out early in the final stanza and then
scored on a two-point conversion run to even the score. KU's
momentum continued when they hit a 48-yard field goal with
just over three minutes remaining, capping a drive that lasted
nearly seven minutes. When KU's safety intercepted a BYU
pass with 2:11 left, Kansas had its first bowl win in 31 years.
Navy brought a 16-year bowl victory drought into its wild
1996 Christmas Day bowl meeting with California. Cal scored
on the opening kickoff, but Navy answered back with a long
touchdown drive that took just three plays. When the teams
finally took a breath, it was 35-28 Cal at halftime.

Cal extended their advantage to 10 points in the third quarter
and seemed as if their defense had solved Navy's attack. With
10:38 left in the game, Navy's head coach inserted his co­
captain at quarterback. That was just what Navy needed. He
engineered a 10-play, 80-yard drive and capped it with a
three-yard touchdown run, making the score 38-35. On their
next possession, he and his Navy teammates went back to
work again. To seal the victory. Navy took the ball 84 yards
on six plays, and scored from 10 yards out to give Navy a 4238 win.
It was the perfect Christmas present and a fine chapter in a
long tradition of yuletide football classics.

one might make the mistake of over­
looking the superb legacy of fellow
Panther offensive lineman Jimbo Covert
Granted, it was May who gained the
nickname "May Day" at right tackle for
the panic he caused defenses during his
four-year career (1977-80) and who, as a
senior All-American, was awarded the Outland Trophy as
the nation's top interior lineman.
And it was Fralic who joined the Panthers' offensive line
the following season, replacing May as a freshman on his
way to earning All-America honors three times and twice
finishing in the top 10 in Heisman Trophy voting.
But on closer examination, Covert's collegiate career was
hardly covert, a fact not lost on the National Football Foun­
dation Hall of Fame, which has honored the two-time FirstTeam All-America selection as an inductee in its Class of 2003.
Covert's contributions at the demanding left tackle spot
were crucial to Pitt's dominance, as the 6-5,280-pounder
protected the blind side of fellow College Hall of Famer Dan
Marino while the Panthers enjoyed back-to-back 11-1
seasons in 1980 and '81 with a pair of bowl victories.
They were also somewhat of an accident.
Covert, a Freedom, Pa., product, was recruited by former
defensive coordinator Jimmy Johnson and played defensive
tackle as a freshman in 1978. He made the switch to offense

of running for eight yards. The margin of error is much less."
The big key for an offense is giving itself the chance to make
something happen, and when a team tries to run the ball, it can
often find itself trying to do more than just beat the odds.
"Running a draw play can put you in trouble to begin with
because you're banking on fooling [the defense]," Leach said
of taking the ball right through the teeth of an opponent's front
line. If you're in field-goal range, however, it is a good play
because it's safe."

Third-and-15 is always a tough situation," Texas

DearFiuis;
I am truly impressed with the 14 supporters below from our community who supported our players
with evening snacks throughout grueling double sessions in August. Our “August Snacks Program”
has just taken off. In the past, our players had nothing to eat in the evening after two practices, condi­
tioning and lifting. When I told them of Edinboro’s response, they reacted with the loudest applause of
camp. This is the third year the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players continually
asked me to thank each of the restaurants/eateries below. In 30 years of coaching at the Division I
level, I never had players respond with such gratitude.
Please support our hometown restaurants! THANK YOU.

GOOD LUCK SCOTS

FltHTWE SCOTS IN TVE PROS
Edinboro University has had a history of players performing in the pro­
fessional ranks, including three players who most recently played in the
Canadian Football League.
Sean McNicholas signed as a free agent with the New York Jets this past
April. The All-American punter was released in early June.
Three-time All-American Jeremy O’Day played six seasons as an offen­
sive lineman in the Canadian Football League. O’Day played two seasons for
the Toronto Argonauts, helping them win the Grey Cup. The 6’3”, 295 lb.
offensive guard was chosen by the Argos in the 1997 supplemental draft, and
later played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Former Fighting Scots Jeff Traversy and John Williams also played north
of the border. Traversy, a 6’5”, 280 lb. nose tackle, was the Calgary
Stampeders’ third pick in the 1997 college draft and played through the 2002
season. Williams, Edinboro’s leading rusher in 2001, was drafted by British
Columbia in the fourth round of the 2002 CFL Draft. He led the Scots with
723 yards rushing and added 14 receptions in 2001.
Several former Edinboro players have enjoyed success in the Arena
Football League, most notably Cleveland Pratt. Though just 5’7”, 171 lbs.,
Pratt prospered in the indoor football league. In 2001 he played for the Florida
Firecats, enjoying an outstanding season. He ranked among the league leaders
in scoring and all-purpose yardage.
Former Edinboro wide receiver Quentin Ware-Bey has also toiled in the
AFL2, playing for the Carolina Rhinos.
A number of other Fighting Scots have made their marks in the profes­
sional ranks. Denorse Mosely was a member of the Miami Dolphins as a
defensive back for two seasons, and was also in training camp with the Green
Bay Packers. He spent the majority of his first season with the Dolphins on
the practice squad before being activated for the playoffs.

James Dumas, a defensive back two years ago for Edinboro, was signed
as a free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 1999. Gilbert Grantlin was a
free agent signee of the Minnesota Vikings in 1996, earning a spot on the prac­
tice squad.
Mike Kegarise, a 6’6”, 310 lb.
offensive tackle, was highlyregarded by the Seattle Seahawks
before suffering a severe knee
injury. He spent the 1994 season
on the Seahawks’ injured reserve
list.
Former head coach Tom
Hollman produced two other NFL
hopefuls. Offensive guard Curtis
Rose signed as a free agent with
the Miami Dolphins, while wide
receiver Ernest Priester was signed
by the Denver Broncos. Priester
later played for the Cleveland
Thunder of the Arena Football
League.
Edinboro players performing
in the NFL date back to the 1970’s,
with both Dave Green and Jim
Romaniszyn playing for the
Cleveland Browns. Green, a run­
ning back, also played for the
Montreal Alouettes in the CFL.

Dave Green

John Williams was drafted by the British
Columbia Lions in the fourth round of the
2002 Canadian Football League Draft.

A former member of the Saskatchewan
Roughriders, offensive lineman Jeremy
O’Day previously played for the Grey Cup
champion Toronto Argonauts.

FEATUBE STORY
LIFE
IN THE PITS FITS GROOMS
by Bob Sbreve, Sports Information nirector

Former Cleveland Brown Bob Golic
once described playing noseguard as if you
were a fire hydrant among a pack of wild
dogs. Make no bones about, if you’ll pardon
the pun, but noseguard is the most brutal
position in football. If you’re lucky, only
two players block you on a given play.
Yet Edinboro’s Eugene Grooms has
thrived in the position, serving as the starter
the last three years. At 6’1”, 300 lbs..
Grooms
has your classic noseguard body
Eugene Grooms
type. But it takes more than just a certain
body style to play the position.
“Eugene has great feet, and good balance,” relates defensive
line coach Wayne Bradford. “His background as a wrestler really
helps. He understands leverage.” With a smile, Bradford then
praised, “He’s one one of the toughest SOB’s we have. He’s a
warrior.”
Grooms broke into the position as a freshman, serving as a
backup both at tackle and noseguard. As a sophomore, the native
of Huttonville, ONT earned second team All-PSAC West honors
in his first season as a starter, and he moved up to first team last
year when he finished with 55 tackles.
The numbers this year aren’t as impressive, with 20 tackles
and a pair of sacks. A nagging knee injury can be attributed to
part of the decline, but a change in philosophy is more to blame,
points out Bradford.
“The greatest compliment to him is when you look at what
the linebackers are doing. (Jermaine) Hughley, (Seth) Fragale,
(Brandon) Banas are all having strong seasons. Before we lined
up on the outside edge. Now, we’re head up and he’s being
blocked by three guys. He has sacrificed his own statistics for our
defense. He has given himself up. He’s playing a true noseguard,
getting blocked by three guys on every down. He has never com­
plained about it.”
Grooms will admit this year hasn’t been easy, but winning is
the salve for all the ills. “I’ve never really been injured before,”
he admitted. “For some reason this year my body is falling apart.
With my knee, it’s been five weeks now. But, I don’t have a prob­
lem working hard to get what I want.”
As for playing noseguard. Grooms has own feelings about the
grueling job. “It’s like being unmanned in a fight. You’re blow
for blow with two guys in front of you. You can’t see what goes
on in the pile. There’s a lot of stuff that goes on. But there’s no
reason to get angry is someone gives you a cheap shot.
“I’ve been playing football ever since I was nine years old, so
I’ve had a lot of experience on the line. My pee-wee football
coaches were really good. My father taught me virtually every­
thing I know.”
Grooms’ father played for the Toronto Argonauts in the
Canadian Football League. Now he hopes he can return to
Canada and play professionally. “I’ve been told the CFL is show­
ing interest,” commented Grooms. “I want to get my degree, and
pursue a chance to play in the CFL.”
Don’t bet against Grooms. He has battled day-in and day-out,
and when all is said and done, has clearly come away the winner.

MAKING
THE TOUGH LOOK EASY
by Bob Sbrevo, Sports Information nirector

For the past few years rumor has it that
Edinboro has had nothing but possession
receivers. That deep threat that can stretch
the defense has been missing. But that has­
n’t stopped Sean Hess from stepping up and
becoming one of the leading receivers in
Fighting Scot history.
Hess enters his final home game with
65 career receptions, good for 11th in career
receptions. Making that accomplishment
Sean Hess
more remarkable is Hess’ neighbor­
hood. The 6’4”, 197 lb. wide receiver lives
over the middle. In fact, during his first three years it seemed like
he ran nothing but slant patterns, where hungry strong safeties and
linebackers were just waiting to devour him.
That has never bothered Hess. “I don’t drop many balls. I
ask them to have faith in me, and if it’s there. I’ll catch it,” he stat­
ed quietly. “When I came here the offense was majnly running the
ball and short passes. Most of the linebackers know that. Playing
against our defense has helped. They’re big hitters and the line­
backers are head hunters. Playing them for four years has really
helped.”
Over the last two years Edinboro has taken full advantage of
Hess’ talents. After catching 13 passes for 198 yards as a sopho­
more, Hess got off to a slow start in 2002, failing to catch a pass
in the first three games. Since that time he has had at least one
catch in each of the last 17 games, all starting with a breakout per­
formance against East Stroudsburg. With the Scots trailing and
needing to open up the attack, they took to the air. Hess caught 5
passes for 113 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown grab.
He would finish the year with a team-leading 25 receptions
for 384 yards and 2 TDs. With a more diversified offense in place
this year, Hess has responded with 23 catches, good for second on
the team, for 301 yards and 2 TDs. One came this past week at
Kutztown, where he ran a short hook pattern, caught the ball at the
seven, broke a tackle and then carried another tackier into the end
zone for a touchdown.
*
“Sean always seems to come up with the key catch,” related
offensive coordinator Scott Browning. “He brings great confi­
dence to our offense. He’s very good with helping the younger
guys out. He knows the system. He will be a really tough kid to
replace. Sean is a typical possession-type receiver, but he will
always come down with the football. He’s also a very good
blocker.”
It’s probably no coincidence that Hess’ emergence as a an out­
standing receiver came at the same time Tom Parry arrived as the
wide receiver coach. One of the old hands on the staff, Hess as
the utmost respect for Parry.
“He has so much knowledge. He’s one of the smartest coach­
es I’ve been around. He played the position and understands it.
He teaches us. He knows what he’s talking about, and he’s always
there for us.”
As Hess takes the field at Edinboro for the final time, he
knows he made the right choice in following his mother to
Edinboro. “My mom was sick when I visited here, so she didn’t
come with me. The school seemed like the best fit for me. It was
the best for education, for football, and money-wise.”
