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.

aooS Schedule Announced
Last Year’s Game
While it is still tentative and subject to change, here's a look at the 2008
schedule. 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.

I Scouting Slippery Rock
The Rock has posted an 8-2 record this season, with the losses
coming to Indiana(Pa.) (34-31) and Califomia(Pa.) (22-13). Oddly
enough, both setbacks came at home. SRU is a perfect 4-0 on the road'
!... Slippery Rock hopes to gain its first NCAA playoff berth since 1999|
Is it Bostic the TB, or Bostic the WR?
I
S... The Rock showcases a diverse and high-powered offense. SRU
I leads the PSAC in total offense (460.0 ypg.) and is second in rushing
offense (259.8 ypg.). Only Califomia(Pa.) has held SRU tmder 4001
yards of offense... the defense iai't too shabby, either While allow-!
ing just 315.6 ypg. (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.

While setting numerous passing records, Trevor Harris can certainly be
credited with spreading the wedth. 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.

Dear Family, Friends and Fans of the Fighting ScotsIt is a pleasure to be a part of the Fighting^ Scots Family at Edinboro University. 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 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 complete

The stadium has undergone several renovations, including a new
sound system and improved handicapped access areas in 1999. In 1997,
a new grandstand 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

Sox Hamson Stadium serves as the home of the Fighting Scots.
Dedicated in 1965, the stadium honors the memory of B. Regis "Sox"
Harrison, the head football and basketball coach at Edinboro University for
34 years. Sox Harrison was the key figure in the building of Edinboro's
athletic program, unselfishly devoting 34 years of service to the University as
an athletic director, coach and physical education instructor. Appropriately,
he was the first member inducted into the Edinboro Athletic 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. In addition,
he coached the men's basketball team for 23 seasons, from 1928-53,
winning 175 games.
The stadium received a facelift this summer, giving it a spanking new
look. Most noticeable is the installation of an artificial surface, Sportexe, to

When Tepper came on board in 2000, Browning was appointed
the recruiting coordinator in addition to his duties with the offensive
line. A year later he was named the offensive coordinator, and the

tradition. 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

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.

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--

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."

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.

“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.

But ask any of the players involved, and you’ll find out that it’s the
amount of money donated to charity - not the final score - that is the
more important tabulation of the day.
Musselman concludes, “It’s fun, and it gives you a sense of humility
just knovving that you are playing for a good cause." M

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

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

Tommy Tuberville
TDI: Does television exert too much control over the game?
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.

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

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

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." ^

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

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. Davis, who was an

Tailgating is a tradition as big as t ie game
v's<
m
X:
• Vsy
In Tempe, Ariz., the atmosphere is substantially more casual on the
parking lot outside Arizona State’s Sun Devil Stadium. 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.

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. #

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

endeavor in the college’s athletic existence. It is a lot of pressure
to put on one individual, but McNellie is not carrying the load on his
own. 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. ^

The Heisman Trophy True Roots
Where Are They Now?
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.
While he’s no longer calling
the shots on the field, he has
taken an active role on the
business side of the game
as the Senior Vice President
of Sports Management for
Ty Detmer (BYU Photo Archives)
jriton Sports Management.
“You see the needs of a player and what guys go through from
a financial aspect if they’re not careful,” Detmer says, noting his
current work with a few NFL clients. “I hope to help a few put
some [money] away and save for the future. 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. ^

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

Introducing the Panasonic Lunnix TZ3.

And they say chivalry is dead. Not in the SEC, where the
ladies have also left their mark on the college football landscape.
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.

^ 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.

Thanks to a wedding gift of 10 acres given to him by his father,
Griffin went on to become a multi-millionaire and state politician
whose personal worth was estimated at more than $300 million. 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.
Griffin passed away at the age of 79 in 1990, less than a year
after the stadium’s re-dedication.

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. #

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. Also,

it looks like the state will soon be admitting four more members.

The Bulls can be considered the most successful of these four
emerging programs, recording 70 wins in their first 10 seasons and
becoming the first Division I team to play in a bowl game in their first
100 games played.
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. Last year the Bulls
finished just outside of the top 25 and ranked in the top 25 in several
early polls for 2007.
USF is led by 2006 Big East Freshman of the Year, QB Matt
Grothe and an attacking defense led by senior LB Ben Moffitt. This
schedule won’t be easy though, with their first game at Auburn and
with West Virginia and Louisville both coming to Tampa.

The Golden Knights have taken the most deliberate path
to D-l football, but they appear to be accelerating that
plan in recent years. They moved from the Mid-American
Conference to Conference USA in '05, and promptly
won the East Division with a 7-1-conference record.
The Golden Panthers have chosen to play away games against
big-time programs as a method to increase their profile and they
use those paydays to drastically improve their facilities. This
season alone they play away games against Kansas, Maryland,
Arkansas, and Penn State, as well as a game against Miami. This
game has become a huge rivalry because many players from
these two teams grew up together and played with or againsteach other from Pop Warner to high school.

All four of these teams have the potential to reach the

success, while these four programs are on the verge of
breaking through within their first 10 years as Division I
football programs. The facility upgrades and the quality

of becoming a top flight program a reality. The sun is
definitely shining in the state of Florida and it’s not just on

“When I was a freshman, the coaches told me the best possibility
for me to get on the field was in the secondary," says Barber, who
was among the Big Ten leaders in interceptions and pass breakups
in 2006. “I’m a team player, and if that’s what I had to do to help the
team, I would do whatever. 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. They were more than willing
to see how the son of Howie Long, an All-American at Villanova and
an NFL Hall of Fame defensive end (he’s currently a FOX studio

“I don’t really remember

well,” Long says of
his father. “Every now

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. As he’s moved around, a couple of guys have
always been there to give me advice.”

really care if I wanted to do curling or something like that or tennis
or whatever. 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

a redshirt freshman receiver. “He

instead of just the best fit in other
people’s minds. He was real
supportive and he’s always liked the
offensive system that’s going on here.

“I definitely like not being in that shadow as much. 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

Sometimes the most important advice a son can get isn't about X’s

times, prolong their football careers by following their dad to the

Jerome Bettis knows what it means to go the distance. That’s why he relies on Mobil Clean 5000. 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. Learn more at mobiloil.com.

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.

finalist, with the

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. He has
been a key member of the Bald Eagle squad that has won four consecutive PSAC
Cross Country Championships and three of the last four NCAA East Region
Championships.
Wolf graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA in molecular biology. The 2007 NCAA II
Female Diver of the Year, Wolf won both the 1- and 3-meter national championships
while setting the NCAA 1-meter diving record with 453.75 points. She is a three-time
NCAA II Female Diver of the Year (2007, 2005, 2004) and has won an NCAA record
seven national championships in eight tries. She also has been named Clarion's
Female Athlete of the Year and a Winter Top 10 selection three times. Wolf has
accepted an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship and will attend Ohio State University
and where she will major in molecular genetics.
Additionally, ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA named Wolf the 2007 At-Large Academic
All-America of the Year for the College Division, which, in addition to swimming and
diving, recognizes the sports of bowling, crew, fencing, golf, gymnastics, field hockey,
ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, tennis, and water polo for NCAA II, III and NAIA.

|The Cactus Bowl
Offensive linemen Greg Bzorek and LaM|ont Singleton continued the tradition of Edin|lx)ro Fitting Scots playing in the Cactus Bowl
|in January 2006. (NOTE: The 2007 contest was
*uspended.) For a number of years Division II
jfootball teams had an all-star game named the
■Snow Bowl, which was played in Fargo, North
Dakota. In 2000 the contest was moved to
Kingsville, Texas and renamed the Cactus
Bowl. The contest features the top small col
lege seniors in the country. Edinboio has had at
least one representative in every Cactus Bowl
(aka Snow l^wl) but one, with a streak of eight
stoight years. Here's a complete list of the

I hope that our fans will applaud and frequent the 15 supporters listed below from
the Edinboro community who have supported our players with evening snacks
through the grueling practice sessions in August. Our “August Snacks Program”
has been a huge success. I can’t tell you how appreciative our players are of these

This marks the 22st season that I have
been fortunate enough to be a member of
the Edinboro football staff. During that time
It has been very gratifying to see the response
of local organizations in assisting Edinboro
football. In recent years the service organiza
tions has provided invaluable assistance,
including running the 50/50 raffles. We’look
forward to working with these organizations
again this year, and thank them for their
support of Boro Football.

Each year we look forward to this date, yet we also dread it. The
final home game is always designated as Senior Day. Today we bid
farewell to 16 seniors. These young men have continued the proud tradi
tion of Edinboro football. We wish them the very best as they move on
with their lives. Hopefully the ideals they have learned as Figjiting Scots
will guide them in their future endeavors, (story continued on pg. 60)

best teams the PSAC — and the Northeast Region — has to offer.

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.

aooS Schedule Announced
Last Year’s Game
While it is still tentative and subject to change, here's a look at the 2008
schedule. 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.

I Scouting Slippery Rock
The Rock has posted an 8-2 record this season, with the losses
coming to Indiana(Pa.) (34-31) and Califomia(Pa.) (22-13). Oddly
enough, both setbacks came at home. SRU is a perfect 4-0 on the road'
!... Slippery Rock hopes to gain its first NCAA playoff berth since 1999|
Is it Bostic the TB, or Bostic the WR?
I
S... The Rock showcases a diverse and high-powered offense. SRU
I leads the PSAC in total offense (460.0 ypg.) and is second in rushing
offense (259.8 ypg.). Only Califomia(Pa.) has held SRU tmder 4001
yards of offense... the defense iai't too shabby, either While allow-!
ing just 315.6 ypg. (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.

While setting numerous passing records, Trevor Harris can certainly be
credited with spreading the wedth. 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.

Dear Family, Friends and Fans of the Fighting ScotsIt is a pleasure to be a part of the Fighting^ Scots Family at Edinboro University. 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 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 complete
amenities for fans.

The stadium has undergone several renovations, including a new
sound system and improved handicapped access areas in 1999. In 1997,
a new grandstand 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.

Sox Hamson Stadium serves as the home of the Fighting Scots.
Dedicated in 1965, the stadium honors the memory of B. Regis "Sox"
Harrison, the head football and basketball coach at Edinboro University for
34 years. Sox Harrison was the key figure in the building of Edinboro's
athletic program, unselfishly devoting 34 years of service to the University as
an athletic director, coach and physical education instructor. Appropriately,
he was the first member inducted into the Edinboro Athletic 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. In addition,
he coached the men's basketball team for 23 seasons, from 1928-53,
winning 175 games.
The stadium received a facelift this summer, giving it a spanking new
look. Most noticeable is the installation of an artificial surface, Sportexe, to

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.

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."

“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.

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

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.

TDI: Does television exert too much control over the game?
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.

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.

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

✓
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." ^

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

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. Davis, who was an

Tailgating is a tradition as big as t ie game

• Vsy
In Tempe, Ariz., the atmosphere is substantially more casual on the
parking lot outside Arizona State’s Sun Devil Stadium. 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.

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. #

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

endeavor in the college’s athletic existence. It is a lot of pressure
to put on one individual, but McNellie is not carrying the load on his
own. 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. ^

The Heisman Trophy True Roots
Where Are They Now?
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.
While he’s no longer calling
the shots on the field, he has
taken an active role on the
business side of the game
as the Senior Vice President
of Sports Management for

jriton Sports Management.
“You see the needs of a player and what guys go through from
a financial aspect if they’re not careful,” Detmer says, noting his
current work with a few NFL clients. “I hope to help a few put
some [money] away and save for the future. 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. ^

stadium heritage lives on in SEC
By Chris A. Weber
SJ Hang up on that wireless service, deposit your money in that

to the names of football stadiums in the Southeastern Conference,
you won’t find the far-reaching tentacles of corporate America

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.”

Not to be outdone, Mississippi’s Hollingsworth Field at VaughtHemingway Stadium-quite possibly the longest stadium name in

Contributing to the stadium name’s many syllables was Dr. Jerry

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.

Introducing the Panasonic Lunnix TZ3.

And they say chivalry is dead. Not in the SEC, where the
ladies have also left their mark on the college football landscape.
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.

^ 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.

Thanks to a wedding gift of 10 acres given to him by his father,
Griffin went on to become a multi-millionaire and state politician
whose personal worth was estimated at more than $300 million. 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.
Griffin passed away at the age of 79 in 1990, less than a year
after the stadium’s re-dedication.

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. #

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. Also,

The Bulls can be considered the most successful of these four
emerging programs, recording 70 wins in their first 10 seasons and
becoming the first Division I team to play in a bowl game in their first
100 games played.
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. Last year the Bulls
finished just outside of the top 25 and ranked in the top 25 in several
early polls for 2007.
USF is led by 2006 Big East Freshman of the Year, QB Matt
Grothe and an attacking defense led by senior LB Ben Moffitt. This
schedule won’t be easy though, with their first game at Auburn and
with West Virginia and Louisville both coming to Tampa.

The Golden Knights have taken the most deliberate path

plan in recent years. They moved from the Mid-American
Conference to Conference USA in '05, and promptly
won the East Division with a 7-1-conference record.
The Golden Panthers have chosen to play away games against
big-time programs as a method to increase their profile and they
use those paydays to drastically improve their facilities. This
season alone they play away games against Kansas, Maryland,
Arkansas, and Penn State, as well as a game against Miami. This

“When I was a freshman, the coaches told me the best possibility

was among the Big Ten leaders in interceptions and pass breakups

team, I would do whatever. I didn’t really think about playing running
back at all."

and went to...gasp, the University of
California-Berkeley.

Virginia's Chris Long is a talented defensive force, just like his father, NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long (Photos by Univ. of Virginia)
For Chris, who was
also named a preseason
First Team All-American,
and candidate for the
Bednarik, Lombardi, and
Hendricks Awards, fame
has its advantages, like
being able to hobnob with
other famous people —
in this case pro players
and All-Pro coaches.
“I don’t really remember
too many of his games,
but he’s still in contact
with some people that
know the game pretty
well,” Long says of
his father. “Every now
and then. 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. As he’s moved around, a couple of guys have
always been there to give me advice.”
Neil Lomax (Photo by Portland St.)
really care if I wanted to do curling or something like that or tennis
or whatever. 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. He was real
supportive and he’s always liked the
offensive system that’s going on here.

“I definitely like not being in that shadow as much. 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

At What’s in a Name?
Generation X’s and O’s
Not all sons choose to walk in the footsteps of their football
playing dads. Some prefer to carve their own niche and some
times, prolong their football careers by following their dad to the
sidelines.
Here are just six sons of legendary coaches who are making their
own mark as coaches in the college ranks.
Son: Shane Beamer (South Carolina)- Asst. Coach/OLBs/
Special Teams
Father: Frank Beamer (Virginia Tech)- Head Coach
Son: Tommy Bowden (Clemson)- Head Coach
Father: Bobby Bowden (Florida State)- Head Coach
Son: Jim Harbaugh (Stanford)- Head Coach
Father: Jack Harbaugh (Western Michigan, Western Kentucky)-
Former Head Coach
Son: Skip Holtz (East Carolina)- Head Coach
Father: Lou Holtz (William and Mary, NC State, Arkansas,
Minnesota, Notre Dame, South Carolina)- Former Head Coach
Son: Jay Paterno (Penn State)- Asst. Coach/Quarterbacks
Father: Joe Paterno (Penn State)- Head Coach
Son: Steve Spurrier, Jr. (South Carolina)- Asst. Coach/Receivers
Father: Steve Spurrier (South Carolina)- Head Coach

“There are no hard feelings, because my brother doesn’t play
there anymore,” Daniel says. “It will just be a rivalry game like it
is for everyone else."

Of course for these select players following their father's legacies,
they already know they’re not like everyone else, and that is
something they’re accustomed to by now. “It kind of follows
me everywhere. It’s something I’ll always have to accept," says
Lofton. “I went through things because I am the son of James
Lofton. There’s always added pressure with that. At the same
time, there’s always benefits to it, because I’ll always have a
father who can show me the way and can help me out with stuff,
especially on the field." 3$

Jerome Bettis knows what it means to go the distance. That’s why he relies on Mobil Clean 5000. 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. Learn more at mobiloil.com.

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.
Elbert Cole, a 1989
finalist, with the
Harlon Hill Trophy.

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. He has
been a key member of the Bald Eagle squad that has won four consecutive PSAC
Cross Country Championships and three of the last four NCAA East Region
Championships.
Wolf graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA in molecular biology. The 2007 NCAA II
Female Diver of the Year, Wolf won both the 1- and 3-meter national championships
while setting the NCAA 1-meter diving record with 453.75 points. She is a three-time
NCAA II Female Diver of the Year (2007, 2005, 2004) and has won an NCAA record
seven national championships in eight tries. She also has been named Clarion's
Female Athlete of the Year and a Winter Top 10 selection three times. Wolf has
accepted an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship and will attend Ohio State University
and where she will major in molecular genetics.
Additionally, ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA named Wolf the 2007 At-Large Academic
All-America of the Year for the College Division, which, in addition to swimming and
diving, recognizes the sports of bowling, crew, fencing, golf, gymnastics, field hockey,
ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, tennis, and water polo for NCAA II, III and NAIA.

|The Cactus Bowl
Offensive linemen Greg Bzorek and LaM|ont Singleton continued the tradition of Edin|lx)ro Fitting Scots playing in the Cactus Bowl
|in January 2006. (NOTE: The 2007 contest was
*uspended.) For a number of years Division II
jfootball teams had an all-star game named the
■Snow Bowl, which was played in Fargo, North
Dakota. In 2000 the contest was moved to
Kingsville, Texas and renamed the Cactus
Bowl. The contest features the top small col
lege seniors in the country. Edinboio has had at
least one representative in every Cactus Bowl
(aka Snow l^wl) but one, with a streak of eight
stoight years. Here's a complete list of the

I hope that our fans will applaud and frequent the 15 supporters listed below from
the Edinboro community who have supported our players with evening snacks
through the grueling practice sessions in August. Our “August Snacks Program”
has been a huge success. I can’t tell you how appreciative our players are of these
generous donations. This is the seventh consecutive year that the community has
reached out and assisted us. Our players have asked me to thank each of the
restaurants/eateries below. Please support these Edinboro business! THANK YOU.

This marks the 22st season that I have
been fortunate enough to be a member of
the Edinboro football staff. During that time
It has been very gratifying to see the response
of local organizations in assisting Edinboro
football. In recent years the service organiza
tions has provided invaluable assistance,
including running the 50/50 raffles. We’look
forward to working with these organizations
again this year, and thank them for their
support of Boro Football.
