A frightening thought for Boro defensive coordinator Wayne Bradford.
That brings us to one last thought. Today we will honor ten players
who are playing their final games in an Edintero uniform. These yoimg
men who have been with us the last four and five years have maintained a
great tradition of winning. We wish them the very best in their future
endeavors, and hojre that they can go out in the fashion they have played
throughout their careers — as winners!
► 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, how
ever, serving as an assistant coach for the previous twenty years. While at
Edinboro he has coached the offensive Unemen, defensive backs and running
backs, along with serving as the offensive coordinator. Browning became the
first head coach at Edinboro to debut with a win since Bill McDonald in 1%9
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. Two years ago he led the Fighting Scots to a 7-4 record, and
that was followed by a 9-2 finish a year ago, as the Fighting Scots were ranked
20th in the final AFCA Top 25. The nine wins tied the school record for wins in
a season. Now in his fourth season, he has a 29-13 ledger. Browning tied for
mer mentor Tom HoUman as the coaches to reach 25 wins the quickest at
Edinboro. It took both 37 games. (For more on Scott Browning, see pages 6-7.)
Page 2
The Clarion Game
Qarion head coach Jay Foster (Plymouth State '85) is in his fourth year after
serving as an assistant coach at Slippery Rock for 18 years, the last 17 as
defensive coordinator. Foster's Golden Eagles have enjoyed a remarkable
turnaround this season after winning four games his first three seasons,
including a 3-8 finish a year ago. He helped lead Slippery Rock to four
straight PSAC championships.
► The Edinboro-darion Series
► Last Week
The Fighting Scots spotted Mercyhurst a quick 8-0 lead less than ninety sec
onds into the game, then scored the next 17 points to take control of the
game. A balanced offense and a stifling defense avenged last year's loss to
ti\e Lakers. David Bostic accotmted for the first touchdown on a sbc-yard
run, and Michael Battles replaced an injiued Bostic in the second half and
scored on runs of four and three yards. Trevor Harris accounted for 301
total yards, including a 15-yard TD pass to Josh Brown, and also scored on
a two-point conversion run. Alex Romanias concluded the scoring with a
37-yard field goal. Edinboro finished with 412 yards against a Mercyhurst
defense that ranked among the best in the PSAC, while a banged-up Boro
D held the Lakers to 281 yards, one-third of that in their final drive.
► The Last Meeting
Edinboro 35, Clarion lo
Jeremy Burr jumpstarted a sluggish Edinboro team with three big plays.
Burr, a senior wide receiver, caught just one pass for four yards, but on this
day his legs made the difference. Holding a slim 7-3 lead late in the first half.
Burr, the holder, excecuted a perfect fake field goal, sprinting around right
end for a 16-yard gain to the Qarion four, leading to a Trevor Harris to Gary
► Scouting Clarion
Give a great deal of credit to Jay Foster. The Clarion head coach won i
just four games his first three years, but he stuck with his plan and sud
denly the Golden Eagjes are one of the best teams in the PSAC. Qarion
has run off four straight wins and has won five of its last six games. In fact,
the only loss a 35-31 setback to Califomia(Pa.). Clarion is assured of its first
winning season since the "MQ team went 7-4.
The Golden Eagjes ride a high-powered attack which has scored 30or-more points five times and is averaging 32.0 ppg. during the four-game
winning streak.
Hayers to Watch
Alfonso Howard, TB — the junior is enjoying one of
the top offensive seasons in the PSAC. The diminu
tive tailback leads the PSAC in rushing (105.6 ypg.)
and scoring (11.2 ppg.), and also ranks first in all-pur
pose yardage (1^.6 ypg.). Hoggard has 845 yards
rushing with 13 TDs, and is averaging 27.8 yards
with a TD on kickoff returns, good for third in the
PSAC. A year ago Hoggard was a second team AllPSAC selection at wide receiver after catching 41 passes.
Tyler Huether, QB — a 6'1", 210 lb. senior, Huether has thrown for 1,898
yards with 9 TDs and is also the second-leading rusher with 207 yards
and 4 TDs.
Matt Foradora, TE — the 6'5", 240 lb. senior may be the best tigjit end in
the PSAC West. He has 38 catches for 458 yards and 3 TDs after hauling
in 37 balls with three scores last year.
Edinboro Football 2009 ♦ Great Things Happen Here!
Rushing
Clarion 30, IndianaCEcu) 28
This game was more than just beating lUP. In an ill-fated attempt to
impress the NCAA pollsters lUP ran it up on Clarion a year ago to the
tune of 66-16. The Golden Eagles got their payback last Saturday as
Alfonso Hoggard totaled 292 all-purpose yards and 2 TDs. That includ
ed 162 yards and a pair of scores against the top rushing defense in the
PSAC. aarion actually trailed 21-10 in the second quarter before a
Hoggard two-yard run puUed the Golden Eagles to 21-17. A 49-yard
run % Hoggard set up a one-yard sneak by Tyler Huether to give
Clarion the lead for good. Hoggard would add a two-yard TD run.
► Cal Coach Calls it Like He Sees it —
Harris DII Version ofTim Tebow
Alright, admit it. You've wanted to come up with a big-time comparison
for Edinboro quarterback Trevor Harris. Califomia(Pa.) coach John
Luckhardt finally stepped up and made that comparison prior to the
Boro's game at Cal. "He's Division II's Tim Tebow (of Florida) in terms of
production and his ability to make things happen." Hard to argue with a
coach who's led his team to four straight PSAC titles.
► The PlayoffiHcture
The latest Super Regional One rankings (listed below) have Edinboro
ranked sixth this week. That's good news, since the top six teams advance
to the NCAA Division II Playoffs. However, rememter that the dreaded
phrase "earned access" up and bit the Fighting Scots a year ago, so sixth
place can be a very precarious position. There's still a lot of football to be
played, and you certainly can't overlook a Qarion team which is the most
improved team in the league. \Mth Shippensburg sitting in the second
spot, and Califomia(Pa.) fourth, the expected meeting between these two
in the PSAC Championship Game could amount to an elimination game.
Consider that Edinboro has lost to both, but handed West Liberty, the topranked team in the region, its lone loss. Edinboro is also ranked 21st in the
latest AFCA Division II poll.
Jacyues Robinson, WR — the junior leads the PSAC in receptions per
game with 6.2 per game, with a total of 56 receptions for 650 yards and
4 TDs. RobinsOTi finished second in the PSAC in receiving a year ago
with 70 catches for 849 yards and 8 TDs. He has 149 career receptions,
good for fourth all-time at Qarion, and he ranks eighth in career receiv
ing yards (1,730).
► PSAC Honors Fighting Scots
Since Edinboro's last home game, three Fighting Scots have earned
PSAC West Player of the Week honors. This past week Branden
Williams was chosen the Defensive Player of the Week after recording
3 tackles, intercepting a pass and blocking a punt in the win over
Mercyhurst. Two weeks earlier Greg Sondag was named the Defensive
Player of the Week for his performance at Indiana(Pa.), and Trevor
Harris was named the Offensive Player of the Week for the second time
in 2009 following the Gannon game.
Edinboro Statistics
Edinboro leads 4i-3y-2
Thanks to wins in the last six meetings Edinboro has taken the lead in the
all-time series. The Fighting Scots have won the last two meetings at Sox
Harrison Stadium, with Qarion picking up its last win in the series in 2002,
a 24-18 decision at the Boro.
► Stoner Rock Solid on Both Lines
A banged up defensive fine needed a Eft, and got just that against
Mercyhurst when offensive guard Rob Stoner mov^ over to the defense
for a number of plays in the second half. The defensive line is hardly unfa
miliar to Stoner, as he was a standout at General McLane High School and
then went to Youngstown State as a noseguard. However, the junior has
started 31 straight games at guard since transferring to Edinboro.

Dear Edinboro Friends and Fans of the Fighting Scots:
SCHWAB CO
What an exciting time to be on our campus and a part of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania!
In athletics, we look forward to NCAA competition with members of the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference, especially our regional PSAC-West rivals - Gannon University and Mercyhurst College.
Our Fighting Scots athletic teams are all the more eager to compete against our City of Erie neighbours!
And in the spring, with a year's experience under our belts, we'll again field the varsity women's
lacrosse team.
One company
But there's even more happening at Edinboro University. I invite you to take a look around and you'll
see the progress of the past year, and the ongoing new construction projects in many areas of our beauti
ful campus.
Sox Harrison Stadium's renovations of several years ago - the artificial turf, lighting and new scoreboard - continue to be widely
embraced throughout the region, making our stadium one of northwestern Pennsylvania's premier athletic field venues.
Directly across Scotland Road from the stadium, it's not difficult to miss our huge, new Mike S. Zafirovski Sports and Recreation
Center, the region's largest free-standing domed facility. Just as soon as the finishing touches are completed, our varsity and intra
mural athletic teams will shire one of the area's finest indoor practice facilities. Imagine training indoors on an NCAA regulation
track whilst the wind howls and the snow flies in sub-freezing temperatures outside. It's a first class facility that will enhance ath
letic activities for all our students.
Across Scot Road to the south, the first phase of our eight-building, $115 million student housing project - The Highlands at
Edinboro - is now complete, brining the finest in student living amenities to northwestern Pennsylvania. Continuing south on
Scotland Road, the recent $25 million renovation and expansion of the Frank G. Pogue Student Center has quickly become the
shining hub of campus activities.
Heading west on Scot Road, you might have noticed construction activity near the serene, five-acre Mallory Lake. Within the
year, our new Human Services Building will be ready for occupancy, housing our acclaimed Nursing, and Speech, Language and
Hearing Departments.

Continuing along Normal Street, the Dr. William P. Alexander Music Center, Edinboro's first structure built specifically to meet
the Music Department's needs, stands next to the renovated Academy Hall, the original campus building constructed in 1857
and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the oldest former Normal School buildings in the nation still
used for academic purposes. Academy Hall houses our Undergraduate Admissions Office. Feel free to stop by on this or your
next visit to campus.

Scott Browning's Coaching Background
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference in fewest
sacks allowed.
When Tepper came on board in 2000, Browning
was appointed the recruiting coordinator in addi
tion to his duties with the offensive line. A year
later he was named the offensive coordinator, and
the Fighting Scot offense made great strides over
the last five years. Browning emphasized a bal
anced attack which showcased the combination of
a strong ground game and dangerous aerial attack.
Over his last three seasons Edinboro averaged 29.9
ppg. in 2003, 33.2 ppg. in '04, and 31.4 ppg. in '05.
All told. Browning has been an assistant coach
on all seven of Edinboro's NCAA playoff teams,
along with five of the nine PSAC champion squads.
He took over a team which had been to the NCAA
Division II Playoffs two of the previous three years,
and during that period had posted a 26-8 record.
The 26 wins were the most in a three-year period
in Edinboro history.
"It goes without saying that I am extremely
excited to have this opportunity," noted an elated
Browning upon his hiring. "I was proud to be a
part of the teams in the 1990's that ranked among
the best in Division II, and over the last few years
we have once again elevated the program to one
of the best in the country. The University and the
community of Edinboro mean a great deal to me.
Over the years we have tried to become an integral
part of this community. I am thrilled that I can con
tinue that association while taking over a group of
players that represent the ideals I believe in.
"I'm sure you will see some changes in the
future, but I can tell you this, the ideals remain in
place for this program, and always have in the time
I've been here. Without question we want to be
successful on the field, and that means challenging
for the PSAC West title. But we won't compromise
integrity. We will continue to bring in young men
who have the ability to be successful both in the
classroom and on the football field. It is my sincere
belief that when they take the field, they must wear
the Edinboro jersey with pride, and when they are in
the community, that they have earned the respect
that comes with being a Fighting Scot."
Browning has served on the staffs at three
NCAA Division I institutions. Prior to joining the
Fighting Scot staff, he coached receivers and run
ning backs at Ohio State for two years while serv
ing as a graduate assistant. That group included
Keith Byars. The Buckeyes went to the Rose Bowl
in 1984, dropping a 20-17 decision to USC to finish
with a 9-3 record. The following year Ohio State
went bowling again, this time defeating Brigham
Young, 10-7, in the Citrus Bowl, to once again finish
at 9-3.
Browning served as a graduate assistant
coach at New Mexico State in 1982, and the fol
lowing year instructed the receivers at Idaho State.
Idaho State reached the NCAA Division l-AA
Playoffs before suffering a 27-20 defeat to Nevada.
A1981 graduate of The Ohio State University
with a bachelor's degree in Education, Browning
began his coaching career as an assistant coach at
Worthington High School and Dayton-Fairview High
Schools in Ohio from 1979-81. Before transferring to
Ohio State he attended Capital University where he
played football for one season. Browning later
earned a master's degree in Education
Administration from New Mexico State in 1983.
Browning, 50 and a native of Loudonville,
Ohio, and his wife, Lynn, reside in Edinboro and
have two children, Andrew (15), a member of
the General McLane High School football team,
and Katelyn (11).
His brother Mitch has also enjoyed a suc
cessful career as a football coach. He served
several noteworthy seasons as the offensive
coordinator at the University of Minnesota, and
has also been the offensive coordinator at
Syracuse University. He is currently on the staff
at Tennessee.

the Cotton Bowl was Fair Park Stadium. One person who would know is John
1941
Scovell, whose friends joke that he grew up in the Cotton Bowl. Scovell's father,
Field Scovell, began his involvement with the game through his friendship
with J. Curtis Sanford, an oil man and sports promoter in Dallas. With Sanford
funding the game for the first few years, and Field Scovell driving the public
relations machine, the Cotton Bowl game grew steadily.
“My dad and his family have been involved with the Cotton Bowl literally as;
longas I can remember," Scovell said. “My father was chairman of the selection
committee for 25-30 years, in the real heyday of the bowl business, and with
the affiliation with the Cotton Bowl there were always Texas-OU games and
SMU games, so it’s safe to say that we were regular patrons of the Cotton Bowl
in some capacity or another."
Spend a few minutes with Scovell, and it’s easy to take a trip back in time,
to a different era, when the globe wasn’t
so broadly connected, when fans would
find out scores during breakfast, while
hunkered down over the morning paper.
“I think there are a handful of things
that stood out over the years because the
[ venues are so different when you’re talking
about a New Year’s Day bowl game with
f||| j all the hype of a National Championship
I
between a Texas and a Notre Dame, or a
classic Texas-OU game, which I contend,
although I’m a Texas Tech Red Raider, is
the greatest spectacle in college football,"
Scovell said. “You have to be present in
that state fair, with what’s surrounding that
stadium, and that orange and red line that
divides those two groups. With all of the
school spirit, it is a spectacle like I’ve never
seen, and then there were the Cowboys’
games. One of my early jobs was working
out at the Cotton Bowl during the Cowboys’
stay, when they were playing there. “
The line in the end zones separating burnt orange-clad Texas fans with
crimson-clad Oklahoma fans is one of the most unique settings in all of sport,
and Scovell has had a close-up view of the game, frequently referred to as the
Red River Rivalry.
“You’re out there to attend a football game and there are 250,000 people
at the Texas State Fair on that day. That’s their largest fair day, in terms of the
gate, and obviously, at that time, the size of the stadium was maybe 20,000,
so only 20,000 of those 250,000 actually had a ticket to get into the football
game,” Scovell said. “When you create that kind of surrounding and that kind of
setting around a football game, it adds to the excitement of it and it eliminates
some of the challenges because people come to the football game at 10 a.m.
and they leave at midnight. It’s the bonus you get because your ticket gets
you into the state fair. It is one of the rare bargains that remain in the sporting
world.”
The bowl game itself has produced numerous classic moments. Texas and
Notre Dame met twice, with each team winning the National Championship
when it won the Cotton Bowl. In 1960, Syracuse, led by Ernie Davis, the first
black player to win the Heisman Trophy, defeated Texas 23-14 to claim the
National Championship.

LSU and Arkansas in 194?, not the NFL version) just because
we remember having no electricity at our house and having all
the problems that went on during that time in Dallas,” Scovell
said. “The memories for me really run with the coaches and
the athletic administrators and all the people we had the
pleasure to see, whether that was a Bear Bryant or a Joe
Paterno. For those of us on the Cotton Bowl Flost Committee
had the opportunity to get acquainted with, and make good
friends with, absolute icons in college football. To have that
kind of people, with those universities in your city for a week,
the game is sometimes the pinnacle of that week, but what a
pleasure it is to say, ‘I know Bear Bryant.’”
As the years passed and the stadium aged, the City of Dallas chose to
renovate the stadium. What emerged was a more functional structure
that still respected the tradition that had been established over the
years.
“We looked extensively at the Cotton Bowl and looked at the renovation
and said, ‘We’re never going to be able to raise this stadium to the
standard of what is out there in pro football today, so let’s quit trying to
be one of those. Let’s make this stadium traditional, historic, give it the
legacy of the old stadium and make it an attraction for the old, restored
stadium that becomes a historic piece,”’ Scovell said. “The biggest part
of our stadium is who’s come through that stadium. Dur history is not
necessarily that seat or that bench, but the great players, the Fleisman
Trophy winners and the coaches who have played in that stadium.”
The Cotton Bowl game has moved a few miles down the road, while
the Cotton Bowl stadium remains right where it always has. The game
and stadium share a common past, and a vital presence in the future
of college football.

OUT OF YOUR MIND
Braly Municipal Stadium in Florence, Ala., has hosted
the D-ll championship since 1986 and will do so again
this December. However, the NCAA was to accept bids from
other sites for the 2010 and 2011 seasons. The resolution?
Two more years in Florence. Before settling in northern
Alabama, the game had been played in Sacramento, Calif.
(1923-1925), Wichita Falls, Texas (1926-1922), Longview,
Texas (1928), Albuquerque, N.M. (1929-1980) and McAllen,
Texas (1981-1985).
THEY'RE GRAND
Grand Valley trails only North Dakota State in all-time
titles, sitting just one behind the Bison’s five. However, all
four Laker championships have come since 2002, a period
in which Grand Valley has posted a record of 89-6. This year,
pre-season polls gave the Lakers the nod to bring home
number six. Jimmy Berezik, who was suspended from
the Lakers’ national semifinal loss to Minnesota-Duluth,
returned to the backfield with a purpose and first team
All-American Danny Richard is back wreaking havoc on the
defensive line.
IF YOU’RE NEUTRAL
Unless you’re from the MIAA or simply won’t empathize,
it’s hard not to pull for Northwest Missouri State. In search
of obtaining its first Division II title since going back-to-back
in 1999 and 2000, the Bearcats have clawed their way to
the championship each ofthe last four years. Unfortunately,
they’ve lost all four times. In 2005, Raphael Robinson was
stopped at the Grand Valley State 4 and time ran out in a
21-12 Bearcat loss. GVSU won with a fourth-quarter TO in
’06 by a 12-14 count. In 2002, Valdosta State found the
end zone with 30 seconds left to win 25-20, and last year,
the Bearcats drew within a touchdown of Minnesota-Duluth
with two fourth-quarter scores but they couldn’t recover
the onside kick in a 21-14 defeat. That’s four losses by a
combined 19 points.
WHILE WE'RE AT IT
The last eight title games have been decided by seven
or fewer points. If you’re not in Florence, tune into the tube
and stick the remote between the cushions.

time first team All-American, finished his career with 41 sacks
and was inducted into the Division II Football Hall of Fame in
2004.
THE AIR UP THERE
Northern Colorado defied the odds in back-to-back seasons,
winning the 1996 championship with three defeats and the ’92
crown with two. That’s one fewer loss than the last 11 champs
combined since then. The ’96 team started 5-3 and ran off
seven straight, including four in the postseason. The first three
came by a combined five points — 24-21 at Pittsburg State,
22-26 over Northwest Missouri and then 19-18 at Clarion. In
the championship game, Billy Holmes carried the ball 33 times
for 136 yards as the Bears beat Carson-Newman, 23-14. The
next year, the two-loss squad defeated New Haven 51-0, the
largest margin of victory ever in the title game.
WHO’S GOT NEXT?
The rankings feature the usual suspects when it comes
to winning it all. Here are a few who haven’t but can.
Abilene Christian; The great state of Texas hasn’t
brought home a title since Bobby Watkins and Southwest
Texas State (now Texas State) went back-to-back in
1981 and 1982. ACU boasts a pair of massive tackles
— Trevis Turner (6-2, 335] and Tony Washington (6-2,
305) — to pave the way for a squad that forges ahead
without OB Billy Malone and RB Bernard Scott.
Chadron State: OB Garrett Treffer takes over
an offense that returned nine starters, including
All-America candidate Isaac Stockton at WR and a
polished offensive line. Their defense, 10th best
in the country last year, received an off-season
facelift. They’ve been knocking on the door for
some time; it could be the year the Eagles bust
the door down.
Bioomsburg; The east coast hasn’t claimed a
championship since Delaware beat Youngstown
State in the 1929 title game. The Huskies have a
four-year starter at quarterback (Dan Latorre),
an electrifying playmaker behind him (RB Derrick
Price) and playmakers on defense as well. They return 13
starters altogether. PSAC rival California (PA) stands in their
way first.
A SPREE OF THREE
Division II has had its share of dominant squads — Grand
Valley won four times in five years from 2002-2006; North
Dakota State captured five titles from 1983-1990 — but no
team has won three in a row except for the 1993-1995 North
Alabama Lions. They went 41-1 over that stretch and beat
Indiana (PA), Texas A&M-Kingsville and Pittsburg State in the
championship games, all held on the Lions’ home field. In 1995,
linebacker Ronald McKinnon, a 10-year member of the NFL’s
Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, became the only defensive player
in history to win the Harlon Hill Trophy — Division ll’s version of
the Heisman Trophy.

look ahead to,” Robinson said. “We even had less to
look back on.”
At Grambling in the 1940s, a psychology of failure
hung over the football program, so much so that all
Robinson could think about was putting together a
winning season — and beating Southern, of course.
“They were the big school and the most powerful in
the Southwestern Athletic Conference,” Robinson said
of the school coached by the legendary Arnett William
“Ace” Mumford, one of the early giants of black football.
“It was unheard of for us to beat them. When they came
to play you, you were supposed to be whipped.”
Before the heat was turned up on the series.
Southern hardly looked upon Grambling as an equal
football rival — or an equal in anything.
Southern University was noted by some as the
Flarvard of black colleges. Grambling, founded in 1901
in the wilderness of Northern Louisiana, was a quasi
public institution for many years. It was not until the
1940s that Grambling attained the status of a fourcollege football teams. It is televised by NBC, and both schools typically forgo
NCAA Subdivision playoff eligibility to participate in the Classic.
Grambling and Southern are situated about 220 miles apart and have been
facing off against each other in the State Farm Bayou Classic since 1924.
That was the year someone — organizers are not entirely sure who it was
— suggested that they move the game (which had alternated between each
campus stadium ) to the larger venue of Tulane Stadium.
Not certain how the fans and residents of New Orleans would react, school
leaders were stunned when a sellout crowd of more than 26,000 showed up
to watch the two teams — and the bands — take the field. The game was later
moved to the Superdome, and now draws close to 200,000 fans to New Orleans
each November — pumping an estimated $85 million into the local economy.
"I was scared to death,” Grambling legend Doug Williams said about the
first time he played in the rivalry. “When I walked on the field and saw 26,000
people in the stands — nobody knew the scope of the event. They didn’t have
any idea.”
When you hear what Williams says about the rivalry you realize its intensity.
“Southern’s a little haughty,” Williams says. “They are down there in the capital
city. We’re just a country team.”
The Southern-Grambling game is not an African-American version of storied
college football rivalries. It is not a version of Florida-Florida State. It is a storied
college rivalry. “The game is really about Northern Louisiana versus Southern
Louisiana,” Southern head coach Pete Richardson has said. “It is about Southern
families and Grambling families. It is about playing for pride. You can say it is
an ordinary game, but it is not,” Richardson continued. “When you play in the
Bayou Classic, you can almost scratch the records. You are talking about a very
emotional game.”
“The Super Bowl is a great game,” said Williams, “but it’s really a business
thing. The Classic is a family affair. You can see your brothers, your cousins,
your friends at the Bayou Classic. Everybody’s having fun, and everybody’s a
football fan.”
When the late Eddie Robinson first arrived on the Grambling campus in the
1940s, he had less ambitious goals than to be in a game like the Bayou Classic.

year college.
For many years, the Grambling-Southern game took on the status of a class
war. It was the supposedly more-sophisticated, better educated students of
Southern versus the country kids from rural Grambling.
"Southern used to treat Grambling like the little brother,” Robinson said.
“There were times when Southern wasn’t interested in playing us. They’d play
Wiley, Prairie View, stop over and play us a practice game or two before they’d
play their big games. They’d beat us, of course.”

conclusion defied all logic.

The fun started when a pair of Yale defenders hit Champi, forcing a fumble
that was picked up by offensive tackle Fritz Reed, who ran for a critical first
down. Champi made the most of the opportunity, connecting with Bruce
Freeman for a touchdown to cut the Crimson’s deficit to 10. Champi’s
conversion pass to Pete Varney was incomplete, but a pass interference
penalty gave Flarvard another shot, and Flarvard fullback Gus Crim bulled
across the goal line to make the score 29-21. Still, Flarvard was down eight
points with an onsides kick coming, no surprise in that situation. Yale’s Brad
Lee was poised to pounce on the ball, but collided with a teammate, and the
ball fell loose, enabling Flarvard’s Bill Kelly to fall on it at the Yale 49. Champi
drove the Crimson to the Yale 6-yard line, but Jim Gallagher sacked Champi
at the Yale 8, forcing Flarvard to call timeout with three seconds left. All Yale
had to do was force an incompletion, or tackle the ball carrier short of the
end zone.
But by that time, Yale was facing an avalanche of Flarvard momentum.
Champi had things going his way, and threw toward the back left corner of

the air, and Vic Gatto caught it. Still down two points with no time remaining,
Flarvard had to make the two-point conversion, and when Champi completed
a slant pass to Varney, Flarvard had the most improbable of come-frombehind victories, one that would never be forgotten.
Somehow, in all the confusion, Varney kept his composure and
concentrated solely on his job at the moment.

was to need the life more than anything else needed it again.
When a note was passed to Bowden while he was broadcasting
last year’s Division II championship game in Florence, AL,
wondering whether he would be interested in discussing
the suddenly vacant North Alabama job (former coach Mark
Hudspeth left to join Dan Mullen’s Mississippi State staff after
posting double-figure wins the past four years], Bowden replied,
“Call me.”
“I fell into it,” he says.
It’s a leap of faith for both sides. Bowden posted a 46-16-1
record during five-plus years at Auburn but would be returning to
the game at the D-ll level, a long way from jam-packed stadiums
and television cameras. Instead of opening in front of 9D,D00
plus, Bowden began the ’D9 season in front of a modest crowd
of 5,201 in Magnolia, AR, leading the Lions to a 41-9 win over
Southern Arkansas. It was a nod to his days at Salem College
or Samford, where he turned floundering programs into big
winners.
North Alabama, meanwhile, was bringing in a man who had
gone 10 years without coaching. Though the Bowden name still
carries weight, Bobby is the only one still coaching on the l-A level
and there is no guarantee this second act will be successful.
Despite Vermeil’s assurances Bowden will be better, there is risk
involved in bringing in someone who has taken such a long hiatus
from the game. Bowden did spend countless hours breaking
down film and meeting with coaches to prepare for his broadcast
work, but there’s a big difference between preparing for TV and a
real opponent.
“When we started the process, we had three things we wanted,
and Terry fit all three of them,” UNA athletic director Mark Linder
says. “The first thing is character. The second thing is the ability
to recruit. The third thing is a history of success.”
Bowden has all of that. He has been involved in the Fellowship
of Christian Athletes for decades, and helped squire Auburn
through its post-probation period. He helped turn around the
talent level on The Plains quickly and already has proved himself
a master of enticing transfers at North Alabama by bringing in
24 former Division I players for this season. Finally, Bowden’s
111-53-2 record is a pretty good indication of prior success,
particularly since he helped turn an D-9-1 Salem team into a
squad that won 19 of its last 25 with him there, went 9-1 in his
first season at Samford, which was three more victories than the
program had accumulated in its previous three years and became
the first Division I coach to go undefeated (11-0) in his inaugural
season at Auburn. As you might expect, Bowden’s hiring created
excitement in all corners of the UNA community.
“Anybody who’s involved in sports knows about the Bowden
name,” says Michael Johnson, a senior pre-season all-America
linebacker. “I didn’t know what he did at Auburn until I researched

as reclamation projects. Even Auburn had won only five games the
two seasons before he arrived. By contrast, the Lions went 12-2
last season, advanced to the semifinals of the D-ll playoffs and
finished third in the final rankings. There is no need for a rebuilding
job in Florence. It’s championship or bust.
“The expectations and excitement are so high here,” Bowden
says. “You could say we have to rebuild [because the Lions lost 21
seniors from ’08], but that is not an option.”
Bowden is hardly overwhelmed by the optimism. A big reason
for that is his own contentment with his position. The ugly divorce
from Auburn, caused far more by the program’s powerful outside
forces than anythingthat happened on the field, left him angry and

many think that’s his plan. “I would be very happy coaching here
for the rest of my life,” he says. He has added his brother, Jeff,
to the offensive staff, and the two enjoy fishing in the lakes and
streams near campus. He isn’t that far from Birmingham, where
he coached at Samford and spent part of his youth while his father
coached there. And he enjoys the challenge of building a winner at

straight years (1960-20], then a run of 14 wins in 16 years, from
1981-96. But RPI’s Engineers have won six of the last 10 meetings
and their current three-game winning streak matches their only
other series winning streak, from 1952 through ‘59.
So deep is the animosity toward each other, that the two schools
can’t even agree on the series score. RPI claims an 11-4 victory in
1886 and a 5-4 win in 1888, while Union insists that
they won, 4-0, in ‘86 and that no game was played
in 1888.
RPI won last year in Troy, 25-12, on their way to an
ECAC Championship.
{ Myron Claxton’s Shoes }
The swiping of a pair of football shoes turned into
a unique rivalry-game trophy for Southern California
schools Occidental College and Whittier College.
Two days prior to the 1939 game, members of
Occidental’s team stole the shoes of Whittier running
back Myron Claxton, forcing the All-American to play
in work boots.
But in a perfect example of poetic justice, Claxton,
work boots and all, led the Poets to a 36-0 win on
their way to a Southern California Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference (SCIAC] title. The running back,
who would be picked by the New York Giants in the
1940 NFL Draft, even took home his shoes, finding them on the
Occidental sideline after the game. Seven years later. The Franklin
Society, of which Claxton was a member, had the shoes bronzed
and voila, a trophy was born.
Whittier holds a one-game edge in the rivalry, 32-31, including
a remarkable 62-61 upset in 2002, but last season. Occidental,
ranked No. 15 in D-lll, regained possession of the shoes, winning,
48-14. It was the Tigers’ seventh win in eight years. Their lone loss
was the ’02 game.
{ The Cortaca Jug }
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
In this case, a random jug in a roadside yard sale,
became the biggest prize in one of the most storied rivalry
games in college football — the Cortaca Jug, awarded to
the winner of Ithaca College-State University of New York
(SUNY] Cortland.
The origin of the jug as a prize goes back to 1959,
when Cortland captain Tom Decker stopped at a yard sale
in Homer, N.Y and bought a jug for $2. Decker and good
friend Dick Carmean, Ithaca’s captain, the each painted

The original jug is retired, having run out of room for the winners’
names in the mid-’80s, but the prestige surrounding the trophy is as big
as ever. Sports Illustrated caWed Ithaca-Cortland “the biggest little game
in the nation.”
Ithaca’s Bombers lead the overall series (38-2B-3], and has won 33 of
50 games played for the jug, including 1? of 19 meetings between 1923
and 1991.
They also have won the last two years, ending a run of four wins in
five years (2002, ’03, ’05, ’06) by the Red Dragons, who won the four
games by a total of 15 points, including back-to-back overtime thrillers in
’05 and ’06. In last year’s 50th renewal, Ithaca
beat home-standing Cortland, 35-13. Adding
insult to injury, the win ended the Cortland’s
quest for their first unbeaten season.

Sox Harrison Stadium
Sox Harrison Stadium serves as the home of the Fighting Scots. Dedicated in 1965,
the stadium honors the memory of B. Regis "Sox" Harrison, the head football and bas
ketball 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
Year-by-Year Record at
into the Edinboro Athletic Hall of
Sox Harrison Stadium
Fame in 1982.

press box, locker rooms and a training room.
In addition to the football field, the facility contains complete track facilities.

Kyle Goldcamp and Jen Blasko Named PSAC
Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the Year
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) is pleased to announce its 2008-09
Scholar-Athletes, which are highlighted by the PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the
Year. A total of 1,859 PSAC student-athletes have been named Scholar-Athletes while
Gannon s Kyle Goldcamp and Slippery Rock’s Jen Blasko have been named the PSAC
Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the Year. The 1,859 scholar-athletes represents a new
eague record, helped in large part by the addition of two schools in Gannon and
Mercyhurst, as nearly one-third of all PSAC student-athletes were named scholar-athletes.
The PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the Year are presented to the top student-ath
letes who have achieved at least a 3.25 cumulative grade point average while competing
at an oustanding athletic level. To be eligible for the Scholar-Athletes of the Year, a studentathlete must have been recognized as a fall, winter or spring PSAC Top 10 award winner.
In Its 18th year of existence, the award were renamed in 2007 to honor East Stroudsburg’s
long-time sports information director, Pete Nevins, who passed away earlier that year.
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. The awards
were given to one male and one female candidate at the end of each academic year. The
PSAC s Scholar-Athletes are all student-athletes that have compiled a cumulative grade
point average of 3.25 and above.
In Gannon s first year as a member of the PSAC last year, the Golden Knights went 30-4
overall and 12-2 in the PSAC West en route to the PSAC West and PSAC Tournament
titles as well as the NCAA Atlantic Regional title and a trip to the NCAA Elite Eight.
Goldcamp was a big part of that run as he led Gannon with 18.9 points and 9.3 rebounds
per game while shooting over 59 percent from the floor. He did all of that despite missing
11 games in the middle part of the season with an illness. He was a PSAC Winter Top 10
selection and graduated with a 3.87 gpa while majoring in pre-med.

holds the school record for career victories with 78.
He guided Edinboro to the NCAA Division II playoffs in

ofAthletics Bruce Baumgrtaner (left). President Dr.
Jeremy D. Brown, (second from right), and current
head coach Scott Browning (far right).
Blasko becomes the second straight Slippery Rock student-athlete to garner the female
Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, following track athlete Jennifer Hansen in 2007-08.
Blasko finished with a 4.00 grade point average while majoring in physical therapy and is
beginning graduate school at Slippery Rock’s physical therapy doctoral program. The Fall
Top 10 selection helped lead The Rock to an NCAA tournament berth in all four of her
years on the team, one of just three players in school history to accomplish that feat. She
ranked ninth in the league in kills per game and also led the team in kills, digs and service
aces.
Both Goldcamp and Blasko were both ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans®,
with Blasko being named to the first team and Goldcamp to the second team for their
respective sports. They were two of the 17 student-athletes from the PSAC that were
named Academic All-Americans® during the 2008-09 academic year.

The Cactus Bowl
Jitla.
Denayne Dixon contin
ued the tradition of Edinboro
Fighting Scots playing in the
Cactus Bowl in January 2008.
(NOTE: The 2007 contest was
suspended.) The tight end
'V'
hauled in a pair of passes for
31 yards as the East All-Stars
suffered a 28-27 loss to the West All-Stars. For a num
ber of years Division II football 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 college seniors in the
country. Edinboro has had at least one representative
in every Cactus Bowl (aka Snow Bowl) but one, with a
streak of nine straight years. Here's a complete list of
the Fighting Scots who have performed in the Cactus
Bowl Division II All-Star Game.

This marks the 24th 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.
Sincerely,

Here's just some of the reasons why Edinboro ath
letics has er^oyed such a storied tradition, and I believe,
will continue to do so.
SUPERIOR COACHING STAFF
I've always felt that Edinboro has assembled a
coaching staff that rivals not only the best in the PSAC,
but in of Division H. I did a little research into our ros
ters tiiisyear, and I found one continuing theme - youth.
Many or our teams showcased youthful rosters, yet still
foimd success. For instance, the voUeyball team was 26-9
and made its third appearance in the NCAA Tournament
in four years under head coach Missy Soboleski, without
a senior on the team! Not surpiisindy, she was named
the AVCA Atlantic Region Coach of fie Year. Dan Gierlak
surpassed the 300-win plateau as the softball coach, lead
ing the Fighting Scots to a school-record 26 wins. Just
four seniors dotted the roster. Tim Hynn was named both
the EWL and PSAC Coach of the Year while leading
Edinboro to sbcth place at the NCAA Division I Wrestling
Fighting Scots.
Browning ti^ the siJiool record for wins with nine, with
his team^ two losses coming by a combined seven points.
Hie list goes on and on, but you get my drift - Edinboro's
coaching staff is second to none.
UPGRADED FACILITIES
Edinboro's athletic facilities have made a quantum
leap tile last few years. Sox Harrison Stadium was reno
vated two years ago, complete with a new artificial play
ing surface, lights, and a new scoreboard, alor^ with
improvements to locker rooms in the facility. Journeying
over to McComb Fieldhouse, the weight room was
redone complete with state-of-the-art exercise equipment.
The gymnasium floor has an attractive, bright new paint
job. The soflb^ team debuted on its new field this
! of the finest in western
. Zafirovski S]
open tiiis summer.
i million facility will hav
huge impact on all of our athletic offerinL.

This tells me two things. First, you can appreciate
the value of a quality education and realize that part of
the answer to surviving these down times is through the
support of higher education. Second, you understand just
wnatwe have^accomplished and what we strive to
accomplish when it comes to our athletic programs.
Ithi^ the emphasis on success is ^ater than ever,
yet we continue to erqoy outstanding acruevements in
most of our athletic venues. I'd like to take credit for this,
but ^e real credit goes to the coaches and athletes who
have bought into me belief that Great Things Happen

Goodbye Seniors
by Boh Shreve^ Sports Iirfoimatim Directs
Each year we dedicate the final home game program to the seniors.
Through the years the numbers have grown so that space limits us in just
what we can do. In addition, this is the time to view these young men as
indiviuduals with bright futures, and not as football players. Therefore we
don't focus on athletic achievement, but rather as comrades who have built
great friendships over the years.
In many respects this is a sad time, because players we have come to
know and love must move on. Suffice it to say we wish them the very best
and hope they ergoy a prosperous lifetime.
Finally, for the ten young men departing today, remember

A frightening thought for Boro defensive coordinator Wayne Bradford.
That brings us to one last thought. Today we will honor ten players
who are playing their final games in an Edintero uniform. These yoimg
men who have been with us the last four and five years have maintained a
great tradition of winning. We wish them the very best in their future
endeavors, and hojre that they can go out in the fashion they have played
throughout their careers — as winners!
► 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, how
ever, serving as an assistant coach for the previous twenty years. While at
Edinboro he has coached the offensive Unemen, defensive backs and running
backs, along with serving as the offensive coordinator. Browning became the
first head coach at Edinboro to debut with a win since Bill McDonald in 1%9
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. Two years ago he led the Fighting Scots to a 7-4 record, and
that was followed by a 9-2 finish a year ago, as the Fighting Scots were ranked
20th in the final AFCA Top 25. The nine wins tied the school record for wins in
a season. Now in his fourth season, he has a 29-13 ledger. Browning tied for
mer mentor Tom HoUman as the coaches to reach 25 wins the quickest at
Edinboro. It took both 37 games. (For more on Scott Browning, see pages 6-7.)
Page 2
The Clarion Game
Qarion head coach Jay Foster (Plymouth State '85) is in his fourth year after
serving as an assistant coach at Slippery Rock for 18 years, the last 17 as
defensive coordinator. Foster's Golden Eagles have enjoyed a remarkable
turnaround this season after winning four games his first three seasons,
including a 3-8 finish a year ago. He helped lead Slippery Rock to four
straight PSAC championships.
► The Edinboro-darion Series
► Last Week
The Fighting Scots spotted Mercyhurst a quick 8-0 lead less than ninety sec
onds into the game, then scored the next 17 points to take control of the
game. A balanced offense and a stifling defense avenged last year's loss to
ti\e Lakers. David Bostic accotmted for the first touchdown on a sbc-yard
run, and Michael Battles replaced an injiued Bostic in the second half and
scored on runs of four and three yards. Trevor Harris accounted for 301
total yards, including a 15-yard TD pass to Josh Brown, and also scored on
a two-point conversion run. Alex Romanias concluded the scoring with a
37-yard field goal. Edinboro finished with 412 yards against a Mercyhurst
defense that ranked among the best in the PSAC, while a banged-up Boro
D held the Lakers to 281 yards, one-third of that in their final drive.
► The Last Meeting
Edinboro 35, Clarion lo
Jeremy Burr jumpstarted a sluggish Edinboro team with three big plays.
Burr, a senior wide receiver, caught just one pass for four yards, but on this
day his legs made the difference. Holding a slim 7-3 lead late in the first half.
Burr, the holder, excecuted a perfect fake field goal, sprinting around right
end for a 16-yard gain to the Qarion four, leading to a Trevor Harris to Gary
► Scouting Clarion
Give a great deal of credit to Jay Foster. The Clarion head coach won i
just four games his first three years, but he stuck with his plan and sud
denly the Golden Eagjes are one of the best teams in the PSAC. Qarion
has run off four straight wins and has won five of its last six games. In fact,
the only loss a 35-31 setback to Califomia(Pa.). Clarion is assured of its first
winning season since the "MQ team went 7-4.
The Golden Eagjes ride a high-powered attack which has scored 30or-more points five times and is averaging 32.0 ppg. during the four-game
winning streak.
Hayers to Watch
Alfonso Howard, TB — the junior is enjoying one of
the top offensive seasons in the PSAC. The diminu
tive tailback leads the PSAC in rushing (105.6 ypg.)
and scoring (11.2 ppg.), and also ranks first in all-pur
pose yardage (1^.6 ypg.). Hoggard has 845 yards
rushing with 13 TDs, and is averaging 27.8 yards
with a TD on kickoff returns, good for third in the
PSAC. A year ago Hoggard was a second team AllPSAC selection at wide receiver after catching 41 passes.
Tyler Huether, QB — a 6'1", 210 lb. senior, Huether has thrown for 1,898
yards with 9 TDs and is also the second-leading rusher with 207 yards
and 4 TDs.
Matt Foradora, TE — the 6'5", 240 lb. senior may be the best tigjit end in
the PSAC West. He has 38 catches for 458 yards and 3 TDs after hauling
in 37 balls with three scores last year.
Edinboro Football 2009 ♦ Great Things Happen Here!
Rushing
Clarion 30, IndianaCEcu) 28
This game was more than just beating lUP. In an ill-fated attempt to
impress the NCAA pollsters lUP ran it up on Clarion a year ago to the
tune of 66-16. The Golden Eagles got their payback last Saturday as
Alfonso Hoggard totaled 292 all-purpose yards and 2 TDs. That includ
ed 162 yards and a pair of scores against the top rushing defense in the
PSAC. aarion actually trailed 21-10 in the second quarter before a
Hoggard two-yard run puUed the Golden Eagles to 21-17. A 49-yard
run % Hoggard set up a one-yard sneak by Tyler Huether to give
Clarion the lead for good. Hoggard would add a two-yard TD run.
► Cal Coach Calls it Like He Sees it —
Harris DII Version ofTim Tebow
Alright, admit it. You've wanted to come up with a big-time comparison
for Edinboro quarterback Trevor Harris. Califomia(Pa.) coach John
Luckhardt finally stepped up and made that comparison prior to the
Boro's game at Cal. "He's Division II's Tim Tebow (of Florida) in terms of
production and his ability to make things happen." Hard to argue with a
coach who's led his team to four straight PSAC titles.
► The PlayoffiHcture
The latest Super Regional One rankings (listed below) have Edinboro
ranked sixth this week. That's good news, since the top six teams advance
to the NCAA Division II Playoffs. However, rememter that the dreaded
phrase "earned access" up and bit the Fighting Scots a year ago, so sixth
place can be a very precarious position. There's still a lot of football to be
played, and you certainly can't overlook a Qarion team which is the most
improved team in the league. \Mth Shippensburg sitting in the second
spot, and Califomia(Pa.) fourth, the expected meeting between these two
in the PSAC Championship Game could amount to an elimination game.
Consider that Edinboro has lost to both, but handed West Liberty, the topranked team in the region, its lone loss. Edinboro is also ranked 21st in the
latest AFCA Division II poll.
Jacyues Robinson, WR — the junior leads the PSAC in receptions per
game with 6.2 per game, with a total of 56 receptions for 650 yards and
4 TDs. RobinsOTi finished second in the PSAC in receiving a year ago
with 70 catches for 849 yards and 8 TDs. He has 149 career receptions,
good for fourth all-time at Qarion, and he ranks eighth in career receiv
ing yards (1,730).
► PSAC Honors Fighting Scots
Since Edinboro's last home game, three Fighting Scots have earned
PSAC West Player of the Week honors. This past week Branden
Williams was chosen the Defensive Player of the Week after recording
3 tackles, intercepting a pass and blocking a punt in the win over
Mercyhurst. Two weeks earlier Greg Sondag was named the Defensive
Player of the Week for his performance at Indiana(Pa.), and Trevor
Harris was named the Offensive Player of the Week for the second time
in 2009 following the Gannon game.
Edinboro Statistics
Edinboro leads 4i-3y-2
Thanks to wins in the last six meetings Edinboro has taken the lead in the
all-time series. The Fighting Scots have won the last two meetings at Sox
Harrison Stadium, with Qarion picking up its last win in the series in 2002,
a 24-18 decision at the Boro.
► Stoner Rock Solid on Both Lines
A banged up defensive fine needed a Eft, and got just that against
Mercyhurst when offensive guard Rob Stoner mov^ over to the defense
for a number of plays in the second half. The defensive line is hardly unfa
miliar to Stoner, as he was a standout at General McLane High School and
then went to Youngstown State as a noseguard. However, the junior has
started 31 straight games at guard since transferring to Edinboro.

Dear Edinboro Friends and Fans of the Fighting Scots:
SCHWAB CO
What an exciting time to be on our campus and a part of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania!
In athletics, we look forward to NCAA competition with members of the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference, especially our regional PSAC-West rivals - Gannon University and Mercyhurst College.
Our Fighting Scots athletic teams are all the more eager to compete against our City of Erie neighbours!
And in the spring, with a year's experience under our belts, we'll again field the varsity women's
lacrosse team.
One company
But there's even more happening at Edinboro University. I invite you to take a look around and you'll
see the progress of the past year, and the ongoing new construction projects in many areas of our beauti
ful campus.
Sox Harrison Stadium's renovations of several years ago - the artificial turf, lighting and new scoreboard - continue to be widely
embraced throughout the region, making our stadium one of northwestern Pennsylvania's premier athletic field venues.
Directly across Scotland Road from the stadium, it's not difficult to miss our huge, new Mike S. Zafirovski Sports and Recreation
Center, the region's largest free-standing domed facility. Just as soon as the finishing touches are completed, our varsity and intra
mural athletic teams will shire one of the area's finest indoor practice facilities. Imagine training indoors on an NCAA regulation
track whilst the wind howls and the snow flies in sub-freezing temperatures outside. It's a first class facility that will enhance ath
letic activities for all our students.
Across Scot Road to the south, the first phase of our eight-building, $115 million student housing project - The Highlands at
Edinboro - is now complete, brining the finest in student living amenities to northwestern Pennsylvania. Continuing south on
Scotland Road, the recent $25 million renovation and expansion of the Frank G. Pogue Student Center has quickly become the
shining hub of campus activities.
Heading west on Scot Road, you might have noticed construction activity near the serene, five-acre Mallory Lake. Within the
year, our new Human Services Building will be ready for occupancy, housing our acclaimed Nursing, and Speech, Language and
Hearing Departments.

Continuing along Normal Street, the Dr. William P. Alexander Music Center, Edinboro's first structure built specifically to meet
the Music Department's needs, stands next to the renovated Academy Hall, the original campus building constructed in 1857
and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the oldest former Normal School buildings in the nation still
used for academic purposes. Academy Hall houses our Undergraduate Admissions Office. Feel free to stop by on this or your

Scott Browning's Coaching Background
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference in fewest
sacks allowed.
When Tepper came on board in 2000, Browning
was appointed the recruiting coordinator in addi
tion to his duties with the offensive line. A year
later he was named the offensive coordinator, and
the Fighting Scot offense made great strides over
the last five years. Browning emphasized a bal
anced attack which showcased the combination of
a strong ground game and dangerous aerial attack.
Over his last three seasons Edinboro averaged 29.9
ppg. in 2003, 33.2 ppg. in '04, and 31.4 ppg. in '05.
All told. Browning has been an assistant coach
on all seven of Edinboro's NCAA playoff teams,
along with five of the nine PSAC champion squads.
He took over a team which had been to the NCAA
Division II Playoffs two of the previous three years,
and during that period had posted a 26-8 record.
The 26 wins were the most in a three-year period
in Edinboro history.
"It goes without saying that I am extremely
excited to have this opportunity," noted an elated
Browning upon his hiring. "I was proud to be a
part of the teams in the 1990's that ranked among
the best in Division II, and over the last few years
we have once again elevated the program to one
of the best in the country. The University and the
community of Edinboro mean a great deal to me.
Over the years we have tried to become an integral
part of this community. I am thrilled that I can con
tinue that association while taking over a group of
players that represent the ideals I believe in.
"I'm sure you will see some changes in the
future, but I can tell you this, the ideals remain in
place for this program, and always have in the time
I've been here. Without question we want to be
successful on the field, and that means challenging
for the PSAC West title. But we won't compromise
integrity. We will continue to bring in young men
who have the ability to be successful both in the
classroom and on the football field. It is my sincere
belief that when they take the field, they must wear
the Edinboro jersey with pride, and when they are in
the community, that they have earned the respect
that comes with being a Fighting Scot."
Browning has served on the staffs at three
NCAA Division I institutions. Prior to joining the
Fighting Scot staff, he coached receivers and run
ning backs at Ohio State for two years while serv
ing as a graduate assistant. That group included
Keith Byars. The Buckeyes went to the Rose Bowl
in 1984, dropping a 20-17 decision to USC to finish
with a 9-3 record. The following year Ohio State
went bowling again, this time defeating Brigham
Young, 10-7, in the Citrus Bowl, to once again finish
at 9-3.
Browning served as a graduate assistant
coach at New Mexico State in 1982, and the fol
lowing year instructed the receivers at Idaho State.
Idaho State reached the NCAA Division l-AA
Playoffs before suffering a 27-20 defeat to Nevada.
A1981 graduate of The Ohio State University
with a bachelor's degree in Education, Browning
began his coaching career as an assistant coach at
Worthington High School and Dayton-Fairview High
Schools in Ohio from 1979-81. Before transferring to
Ohio State he attended Capital University where he
played football for one season. Browning later
earned a master's degree in Education
Administration from New Mexico State in 1983.
Browning, 50 and a native of Loudonville,
Ohio, and his wife, Lynn, reside in Edinboro and
have two children, Andrew (15), a member of
the General McLane High School football team,
and Katelyn (11).
His brother Mitch has also enjoyed a suc
cessful career as a football coach. He served
several noteworthy seasons as the offensive
coordinator at the University of Minnesota, and
has also been the offensive coordinator at
Syracuse University. He is currently on the staff
at Tennessee.

As an undergraduate, Bradford was an offensive lineman. He played on
the 1986 Salisbury State team which finished as the NCAA Division III national

AN ODE TO A CLASSIC I continued
the Cotton Bowl was Fair Park Stadium. One person who would know is John
1941
Scovell, whose friends joke that he grew up in the Cotton Bowl. Scovell's father,
Field Scovell, began his involvement with the game through his friendship
with J. Curtis Sanford, an oil man and sports promoter in Dallas. With Sanford
funding the game for the first few years, and Field Scovell driving the public
relations machine, the Cotton Bowl game grew steadily.
“My dad and his family have been involved with the Cotton Bowl literally as;
longas I can remember," Scovell said. “My father was chairman of the selection
committee for 25-30 years, in the real heyday of the bowl business, and with
the affiliation with the Cotton Bowl there were always Texas-OU games and
SMU games, so it’s safe to say that we were regular patrons of the Cotton Bowl
in some capacity or another."
Spend a few minutes with Scovell, and it’s easy to take a trip back in time,
to a different era, when the globe wasn’t
so broadly connected, when fans would
find out scores during breakfast, while
hunkered down over the morning paper.
“I think there are a handful of things
that stood out over the years because the
[ venues are so different when you’re talking
about a New Year’s Day bowl game with
f||| j all the hype of a National Championship
I
between a Texas and a Notre Dame, or a
classic Texas-OU game, which I contend,
although I’m a Texas Tech Red Raider, is
the greatest spectacle in college football,"
Scovell said. “You have to be present in
that state fair, with what’s surrounding that
stadium, and that orange and red line that
divides those two groups. With all of the
school spirit, it is a spectacle like I’ve never
seen, and then there were the Cowboys’
games. One of my early jobs was working
out at the Cotton Bowl during the Cowboys’
stay, when they were playing there. “
The line in the end zones separating burnt orange-clad Texas fans with
crimson-clad Oklahoma fans is one of the most unique settings in all of sport,
and Scovell has had a close-up view of the game, frequently referred to as the
Red River Rivalry.
“You’re out there to attend a football game and there are 250,000 people
at the Texas State Fair on that day. That’s their largest fair day, in terms of the
gate, and obviously, at that time, the size of the stadium was maybe 20,000,
so only 20,000 of those 250,000 actually had a ticket to get into the football
game,” Scovell said. “When you create that kind of surrounding and that kind of
setting around a football game, it adds to the excitement of it and it eliminates
some of the challenges because people come to the football game at 10 a.m.
and they leave at midnight. It’s the bonus you get because your ticket gets
you into the state fair. It is one of the rare bargains that remain in the sporting
world.”
The bowl game itself has produced numerous classic moments. Texas and
Notre Dame met twice, with each team winning the National Championship
when it won the Cotton Bowl. In 1960, Syracuse, led by Ernie Davis, the first
black player to win the Heisman Trophy, defeated Texas 23-14 to claim the
National Championship.

we remember having no electricity at our house and having all
the problems that went on during that time in Dallas,” Scovell
said. “The memories for me really run with the coaches and
the athletic administrators and all the people we had the
pleasure to see, whether that was a Bear Bryant or a Joe
Paterno. For those of us on the Cotton Bowl Flost Committee
had the opportunity to get acquainted with, and make good
friends with, absolute icons in college football. To have that
kind of people, with those universities in your city for a week,
the game is sometimes the pinnacle of that week, but what a
pleasure it is to say, ‘I know Bear Bryant.’”
As the years passed and the stadium aged, the City of Dallas chose to
renovate the stadium. What emerged was a more functional structure
that still respected the tradition that had been established over the
years.
“We looked extensively at the Cotton Bowl and looked at the renovation
and said, ‘We’re never going to be able to raise this stadium to the
standard of what is out there in pro football today, so let’s quit trying to
be one of those. Let’s make this stadium traditional, historic, give it the
legacy of the old stadium and make it an attraction for the old, restored
stadium that becomes a historic piece,”’ Scovell said. “The biggest part
of our stadium is who’s come through that stadium. Dur history is not
necessarily that seat or that bench, but the great players, the Fleisman
Trophy winners and the coaches who have played in that stadium.”
The Cotton Bowl game has moved a few miles down the road, while
the Cotton Bowl stadium remains right where it always has. The game
and stadium share a common past, and a vital presence in the future
of college football.

Braly Municipal Stadium in Florence, Ala., has hosted
the D-ll championship since 1986 and will do so again
this December. However, the NCAA was to accept bids from
other sites for the 2010 and 2011 seasons. The resolution?
Two more years in Florence. Before settling in northern
Alabama, the game had been played in Sacramento, Calif.
(1923-1925), Wichita Falls, Texas (1926-1922), Longview,
Texas (1928), Albuquerque, N.M. (1929-1980) and McAllen,
Texas (1981-1985).
THEY'RE GRAND
Grand Valley trails only North Dakota State in all-time
titles, sitting just one behind the Bison’s five. However, all
four Laker championships have come since 2002, a period
in which Grand Valley has posted a record of 89-6. This year,
pre-season polls gave the Lakers the nod to bring home
number six. Jimmy Berezik, who was suspended from
the Lakers’ national semifinal loss to Minnesota-Duluth,
returned to the backfield with a purpose and first team
All-American Danny Richard is back wreaking havoc on the

IF YOU’RE NEUTRAL
Unless you’re from the MIAA or simply won’t empathize,
it’s hard not to pull for Northwest Missouri State. In search
of obtaining its first Division II title since going back-to-back
in 1999 and 2000, the Bearcats have clawed their way to
the championship each ofthe last four years. Unfortunately,
they’ve lost all four times. In 2005, Raphael Robinson was
stopped at the Grand Valley State 4 and time ran out in a
21-12 Bearcat loss. GVSU won with a fourth-quarter TO in
’06 by a 12-14 count. In 2002, Valdosta State found the
end zone with 30 seconds left to win 25-20, and last year,
the Bearcats drew within a touchdown of Minnesota-Duluth
with two fourth-quarter scores but they couldn’t recover
the onside kick in a 21-14 defeat. That’s four losses by a
combined 19 points.

time first team All-American, finished his career with 41 sacks
and was inducted into the Division II Football Hall of Fame in
2004.
THE AIR UP THERE
Northern Colorado defied the odds in back-to-back seasons,
winning the 1996 championship with three defeats and the ’92
crown with two. That’s one fewer loss than the last 11 champs
combined since then. The ’96 team started 5-3 and ran off
seven straight, including four in the postseason. The first three
came by a combined five points — 24-21 at Pittsburg State,
22-26 over Northwest Missouri and then 19-18 at Clarion. In
the championship game, Billy Holmes carried the ball 33 times
for 136 yards as the Bears beat Carson-Newman, 23-14. The
next year, the two-loss squad defeated New Haven 51-0, the
largest margin of victory ever in the title game.
WHO’S GOT NEXT?
The rankings feature the usual suspects when it comes
to winning it all. Here are a few who haven’t but can.
Abilene Christian; The great state of Texas hasn’t
brought home a title since Bobby Watkins and Southwest
Texas State (now Texas State) went back-to-back in
1981 and 1982. ACU boasts a pair of massive tackles
— Trevis Turner (6-2, 335] and Tony Washington (6-2,
305) — to pave the way for a squad that forges ahead
without OB Billy Malone and RB Bernard Scott.
Chadron State: OB Garrett Treffer takes over
an offense that returned nine starters, including
All-America candidate Isaac Stockton at WR and a
polished offensive line. Their defense, 10th best
in the country last year, received an off-season
facelift. They’ve been knocking on the door for
some time; it could be the year the Eagles bust
the door down.
Bioomsburg; The east coast hasn’t claimed a
championship since Delaware beat Youngstown
State in the 1929 title game. The Huskies have a
four-year starter at quarterback (Dan Latorre),
an electrifying playmaker behind him (RB Derrick
Price) and playmakers on defense as well. They return 13
starters altogether. PSAC rival California (PA) stands in their
way first.
A SPREE OF THREE
Division II has had its share of dominant squads — Grand
Valley won four times in five years from 2002-2006; North
Dakota State captured five titles from 1983-1990 — but no
team has won three in a row except for the 1993-1995 North
Alabama Lions. They went 41-1 over that stretch and beat
Indiana (PA), Texas A&M-Kingsville and Pittsburg State in the
championship games, all held on the Lions’ home field. In 1995,
linebacker Ronald McKinnon, a 10-year member of the NFL’s
Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, became the only defensive player
in history to win the Harlon Hill Trophy — Division ll’s version of
the Heisman Trophy.

look ahead to,” Robinson said. “We even had less to
look back on.”
At Grambling in the 1940s, a psychology of failure
hung over the football program, so much so that all
Robinson could think about was putting together a
winning season — and beating Southern, of course.
“They were the big school and the most powerful in
the Southwestern Athletic Conference,” Robinson said
of the school coached by the legendary Arnett William
“Ace” Mumford, one of the early giants of black football.
“It was unheard of for us to beat them. When they came
to play you, you were supposed to be whipped.”
Before the heat was turned up on the series.
Southern hardly looked upon Grambling as an equal
football rival — or an equal in anything.
Southern University was noted by some as the
Flarvard of black colleges. Grambling, founded in 1901
in the wilderness of Northern Louisiana, was a quasi
public institution for many years. It was not until the
1940s that Grambling attained the status of a fourcollege football teams. It is televised by NBC, and both schools typically forgo
NCAA Subdivision playoff eligibility to participate in the Classic.
Grambling and Southern are situated about 220 miles apart and have been
facing off against each other in the State Farm Bayou Classic since 1924.
That was the year someone — organizers are not entirely sure who it was
— suggested that they move the game (which had alternated between each
campus stadium ) to the larger venue of Tulane Stadium.
Not certain how the fans and residents of New Orleans would react, school
leaders were stunned when a sellout crowd of more than 26,000 showed up
to watch the two teams — and the bands — take the field. The game was later
moved to the Superdome, and now draws close to 200,000 fans to New Orleans
each November — pumping an estimated $85 million into the local economy.
"I was scared to death,” Grambling legend Doug Williams said about the
first time he played in the rivalry. “When I walked on the field and saw 26,000
people in the stands — nobody knew the scope of the event. They didn’t have
any idea.”
When you hear what Williams says about the rivalry you realize its intensity.
“Southern’s a little haughty,” Williams says. “They are down there in the capital
city. We’re just a country team.”
The Southern-Grambling game is not an African-American version of storied
college football rivalries. It is not a version of Florida-Florida State. It is a storied
college rivalry. “The game is really about Northern Louisiana versus Southern
Louisiana,” Southern head coach Pete Richardson has said. “It is about Southern
families and Grambling families. It is about playing for pride. You can say it is
an ordinary game, but it is not,” Richardson continued. “When you play in the
Bayou Classic, you can almost scratch the records. You are talking about a very
emotional game.”
“The Super Bowl is a great game,” said Williams, “but it’s really a business
thing. The Classic is a family affair. You can see your brothers, your cousins,
your friends at the Bayou Classic. Everybody’s having fun, and everybody’s a
football fan.”
When the late Eddie Robinson first arrived on the Grambling campus in the
1940s, he had less ambitious goals than to be in a game like the Bayou Classic.
Fie just wanted to turn around the football program. “We didn’t have much to

year college.
For many years, the Grambling-Southern game took on the status of a class
war. It was the supposedly more-sophisticated, better educated students of
Southern versus the country kids from rural Grambling.
"Southern used to treat Grambling like the little brother,” Robinson said.
“There were times when Southern wasn’t interested in playing us. They’d play
Wiley, Prairie View, stop over and play us a practice game or two before they’d
play their big games. They’d beat us, of course.”

The Carmack’s collection of Georgia memorabilia includes framed front pages from the Atlanta JournalConstitution sports section after Sugar Bowl wins, autographed helmets and footballs, and action shots of
their favorite players. Some pieces were signed by Georgia football legends in person, while others were gifts
or purchased at auctions and charity fundraisers. Clay’s favorite piece? The signed picture of Herschel Walker
(1982 Heisman Trophy-winning running back) matted on top of his three Sports Illustrated covers.
The tribute to Georgia football is a relatively new addition to the Carmack house, and it’s one that they plan
to add to overthe years. “I’m sure (ourcollection) will continue to grow because what we already have is only

The family occasionally entertains fellow Georgia fans for games, but Ellen says their primary focus is
family time. “We have pictures of our kids with David Greene (quarterback, ’05] and David Pollack (linebacker,

BY JEFF CUMMINS
With just a few minutes remaining in the 1968 edition of
“The Game” between Harvard and Yale, the result appeared
all but assured. Yale was leading 29-13, and the outcome
seemed fairly certain. But like many things in the 1960s, the
conclusion defied all logic.
Yale and Harvard had practically written the history of
by a backup quarterback. Harvard scored
16 points in the final 42 seconds of the
1968 Harvard-Yale game to tie the
score, prompting The Daily Crimson

your specific business needs.
The fun started when a pair of Yale defenders hit Champi, forcing a fumble
that was picked up by offensive tackle Fritz Reed, who ran for a critical first
down. Champi made the most of the opportunity, connecting with Bruce
Freeman for a touchdown to cut the Crimson’s deficit to 10. Champi’s
conversion pass to Pete Varney was incomplete, but a pass interference
penalty gave Flarvard another shot, and Flarvard fullback Gus Crim bulled
across the goal line to make the score 29-21. Still, Flarvard was down eight
points with an onsides kick coming, no surprise in that situation. Yale’s Brad
Lee was poised to pounce on the ball, but collided with a teammate, and the
ball fell loose, enabling Flarvard’s Bill Kelly to fall on it at the Yale 49. Champi
drove the Crimson to the Yale 6-yard line, but Jim Gallagher sacked Champi
at the Yale 8, forcing Flarvard to call timeout with three seconds left. All Yale
had to do was force an incompletion, or tackle the ball carrier short of the
end zone.
But by that time, Yale was facing an avalanche of Flarvard momentum.

Flarvard had to make the two-point conversion, and when Champi completed

was to need the life more than anything else needed it again.
When a note was passed to Bowden while he was broadcasting
last year’s Division II championship game in Florence, AL,
wondering whether he would be interested in discussing
the suddenly vacant North Alabama job (former coach Mark
Hudspeth left to join Dan Mullen’s Mississippi State staff after
posting double-figure wins the past four years], Bowden replied,
“Call me.”
“I fell into it,” he says.
It’s a leap of faith for both sides. Bowden posted a 46-16-1
record during five-plus years at Auburn but would be returning to
the game at the D-ll level, a long way from jam-packed stadiums
and television cameras. Instead of opening in front of 9D,D00
plus, Bowden began the ’D9 season in front of a modest crowd
of 5,201 in Magnolia, AR, leading the Lions to a 41-9 win over
Southern Arkansas. It was a nod to his days at Salem College
or Samford, where he turned floundering programs into big
winners.
North Alabama, meanwhile, was bringing in a man who had
gone 10 years without coaching. Though the Bowden name still
carries weight, Bobby is the only one still coaching on the l-A level
and there is no guarantee this second act will be successful.
Despite Vermeil’s assurances Bowden will be better, there is risk
involved in bringing in someone who has taken such a long hiatus
from the game. Bowden did spend countless hours breaking
down film and meeting with coaches to prepare for his broadcast
work, but there’s a big difference between preparing for TV and a
real opponent.
“When we started the process, we had three things we wanted,
and Terry fit all three of them,” UNA athletic director Mark Linder
says. “The first thing is character. The second thing is the ability
to recruit. The third thing is a history of success.”
Bowden has all of that. He has been involved in the Fellowship
of Christian Athletes for decades, and helped squire Auburn
through its post-probation period. He helped turn around the
talent level on The Plains quickly and already has proved himself
a master of enticing transfers at North Alabama by bringing in
24 former Division I players for this season. Finally, Bowden’s
111-53-2 record is a pretty good indication of prior success,
particularly since he helped turn an D-9-1 Salem team into a
squad that won 19 of its last 25 with him there, went 9-1 in his
first season at Samford, which was three more victories than the
program had accumulated in its previous three years and became
the first Division I coach to go undefeated (11-0) in his inaugural
season at Auburn. As you might expect, Bowden’s hiring created
excitement in all corners of the UNA community.
“Anybody who’s involved in sports knows about the Bowden
name,” says Michael Johnson, a senior pre-season all-America
linebacker. “I didn’t know what he did at Auburn until I researched

“The expectations and excitement are so high here,” Bowden
says. “You could say we have to rebuild [because the Lions lost 21

Bowden is hardly overwhelmed by the optimism. A big reason
for that is his own contentment with his position. The ugly divorce

many think that’s his plan. “I would be very happy coaching here

streams near campus. He isn’t that far from Birmingham, where
he coached at Samford and spent part of his youth while his father
coached there. And he enjoys the challenge of building a winner at

{ Myron Claxton’s Shoes }
The swiping of a pair of football shoes turned into
a unique rivalry-game trophy for Southern California
schools Occidental College and Whittier College.
Two days prior to the 1939 game, members of
Occidental’s team stole the shoes of Whittier running
back Myron Claxton, forcing the All-American to play
in work boots.
But in a perfect example of poetic justice, Claxton,
work boots and all, led the Poets to a 36-0 win on
their way to a Southern California Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference (SCIAC] title. The running back,
who would be picked by the New York Giants in the
1940 NFL Draft, even took home his shoes, finding them on the
Occidental sideline after the game. Seven years later. The Franklin
Society, of which Claxton was a member, had the shoes bronzed
and voila, a trophy was born.
Whittier holds a one-game edge in the rivalry, 32-31, including
a remarkable 62-61 upset in 2002, but last season. Occidental,
ranked No. 15 in D-lll, regained possession of the shoes, winning,
48-14. It was the Tigers’ seventh win in eight years. Their lone loss
was the ’02 game.
{ The Cortaca Jug }
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
In this case, a random jug in a roadside yard sale,
became the biggest prize in one of the most storied rivalry
games in college football — the Cortaca Jug, awarded to
the winner of Ithaca College-State University of New York
(SUNY] Cortland.
The origin of the jug as a prize goes back to 1959,
when Cortland captain Tom Decker stopped at a yard sale
in Homer, N.Y and bought a jug for $2. Decker and good

The original jug is retired, having run out of room for the winners’
names in the mid-’80s, but the prestige surrounding the trophy is as big
as ever. Sports Illustrated caWed Ithaca-Cortland “the biggest little game

Ithaca’s Bombers lead the overall series (38-2B-3], and has won 33 of
50 games played for the jug, including 1? of 19 meetings between 1923
and 1991.
They also have won the last two years, ending a run of four wins in
five years (2002, ’03, ’05, ’06) by the Red Dragons, who won the four
games by a total of 15 points, including back-to-back overtime thrillers in
’05 and ’06. In last year’s 50th renewal, Ithaca

Sox Harrison Stadium
Sox Harrison Stadium serves as the home of the Fighting Scots. Dedicated in 1965,
the stadium honors the memory of B. Regis "Sox" Harrison, the head football and bas
ketball 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
Year-by-Year Record at
into the Edinboro Athletic Hall of
Sox Harrison Stadium
Fame in 1982.
Harrison coached the

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

Kyle Goldcamp and Jen Blasko Named PSAC
Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the Year
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) is pleased to announce its 2008-09
Scholar-Athletes, which are highlighted by the PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the
Year. A total of 1,859 PSAC student-athletes have been named Scholar-Athletes while
Gannon s Kyle Goldcamp and Slippery Rock’s Jen Blasko have been named the PSAC
Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the Year. The 1,859 scholar-athletes represents a new
eague record, helped in large part by the addition of two schools in Gannon and
Mercyhurst, as nearly one-third of all PSAC student-athletes were named scholar-athletes.
The PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athletes of the Year are presented to the top student-ath
letes who have achieved at least a 3.25 cumulative grade point average while competing
at an oustanding athletic level. To be eligible for the Scholar-Athletes of the Year, a studentathlete must have been recognized as a fall, winter or spring PSAC Top 10 award winner.
In Its 18th year of existence, the award were renamed in 2007 to honor East Stroudsburg’s
long-time sports information director, Pete Nevins, who passed away earlier that year.
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. The awards
were given to one male and one female candidate at the end of each academic year. The
PSAC s Scholar-Athletes are all student-athletes that have compiled a cumulative grade
point average of 3.25 and above.
In Gannon s first year as a member of the PSAC last year, the Golden Knights went 30-4
overall and 12-2 in the PSAC West en route to the PSAC West and PSAC Tournament
titles as well as the NCAA Atlantic Regional title and a trip to the NCAA Elite Eight.
Goldcamp was a big part of that run as he led Gannon with 18.9 points and 9.3 rebounds
per game while shooting over 59 percent from the floor. He did all of that despite missing
11 games in the middle part of the season with an illness. He was a PSAC Winter Top 10
selection and graduated with a 3.87 gpa while majoring in pre-med.

ofAthletics Bruce Baumgrtaner (left). President Dr.
Jeremy D. Brown, (second from right), and current
head coach Scott Browning (far right).

Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, following track athlete Jennifer Hansen in 2007-08.
Blasko finished with a 4.00 grade point average while majoring in physical therapy and is
beginning graduate school at Slippery Rock’s physical therapy doctoral program. The Fall
Top 10 selection helped lead The Rock to an NCAA tournament berth in all four of her
years on the team, one of just three players in school history to accomplish that feat. She
ranked ninth in the league in kills per game and also led the team in kills, digs and service
aces.
Both Goldcamp and Blasko were both ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans®,
with Blasko being named to the first team and Goldcamp to the second team for their
respective sports. They were two of the 17 student-athletes from the PSAC that were
named Academic All-Americans® during the 2008-09 academic year.

Harlon Hill Trophy, presented
annually to the top player in NCAA

a year later. Cole placed third in the '89 balloting. He
earned All-American honors in 1989, receiving first team
accolades from Kodak/American Football Coaches

The Cactus Bowl
Jitla.
Denayne Dixon contin
ued the tradition of Edinboro
Fighting Scots playing in the
Cactus Bowl in January 2008.
(NOTE: The 2007 contest was
suspended.) The tight end
'V'
hauled in a pair of passes for
31 yards as the East All-Stars
suffered a 28-27 loss to the West All-Stars. For a num
ber of years Division II football 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 college seniors in the
country. Edinboro has had at least one representative
in every Cactus Bowl (aka Snow Bowl) but one, with a
streak of nine straight years. Here's a complete list of
the Fighting Scots who have performed in the Cactus
Bowl Division II All-Star Game.

This marks the 24th 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.
Sincerely,
CUNNINGHAM

Here's just some of the reasons why Edinboro ath
letics has er^oyed such a storied tradition, and I believe,
will continue to do so.
SUPERIOR COACHING STAFF
I've always felt that Edinboro has assembled a
coaching staff that rivals not only the best in the PSAC,
but in of Division H. I did a little research into our ros
ters tiiisyear, and I found one continuing theme - youth.
Many or our teams showcased youthful rosters, yet still
foimd success. For instance, the voUeyball team was 26-9
and made its third appearance in the NCAA Tournament
in four years under head coach Missy Soboleski, without
a senior on the team! Not surpiisindy, she was named
the AVCA Atlantic Region Coach of fie Year. Dan Gierlak
surpassed the 300-win plateau as the softball coach, lead
ing the Fighting Scots to a school-record 26 wins. Just
four seniors dotted the roster. Tim Hynn was named both
the EWL and PSAC Coach of the Year while leading
Edinboro to sbcth place at the NCAA Division I Wrestling
Fighting Scots.
Browning ti^ the siJiool record for wins with nine, with
his team^ two losses coming by a combined seven points.
Hie list goes on and on, but you get my drift - Edinboro's
coaching staff is second to none.
UPGRADED FACILITIES
Edinboro's athletic facilities have made a quantum
leap tile last few years. Sox Harrison Stadium was reno
vated two years ago, complete with a new artificial play
ing surface, lights, and a new scoreboard, alor^ with
improvements to locker rooms in the facility. Journeying
over to McComb Fieldhouse, the weight room was
redone complete with state-of-the-art exercise equipment.
The gymnasium floor has an attractive, bright new paint
job. The soflb^ team debuted on its new field this
! of the finest in western
. Zafirovski S]
open tiiis summer.
i million facility will hav
huge impact on all of our athletic offerinL.

This tells me two things. First, you can appreciate
the value of a quality education and realize that part of
the answer to surviving these down times is through the
support of higher education. Second, you understand just
wnatwe have^accomplished and what we strive to
accomplish when it comes to our athletic programs.
Ithi^ the emphasis on success is ^ater than ever,
yet we continue to erqoy outstanding acruevements in
most of our athletic venues. I'd like to take credit for this,
but ^e real credit goes to the coaches and athletes who
have bought into me belief that Great Things Happen

Goodbye Seniors
by Boh Shreve^ Sports Iirfoimatim Directs
Each year we dedicate the final home game program to the seniors.
Through the years the numbers have grown so that space limits us in just
what we can do. In addition, this is the time to view these young men as
indiviuduals with bright futures, and not as football players. Therefore we
don't focus on athletic achievement, but rather as comrades who have built
great friendships over the years.
In many respects this is a sad time, because players we have come to
know and love must move on. Suffice it to say we wish them the very best
and hope they ergoy a prosperous lifetime.
Finally, for the ten young men departing today, remember
