When you think about Tennessee State University, many things come to mind – a rich heritage and legacy in athletics, academics, entertainment, research and service.

Tennessee State University has long been a rising star among universities across the country. It is designated as one of the best public historically black colleges and universities in the nation, and it’s not by accident.

The university off ers 45 bachelor’s degrees, 24 master’s degrees and six doctoral programs in diverse academic disciplines. Among the new academic programs at Tennessee State University include a women’s studies program, a supply chain management program and the new College of Public Service and Urban Aff airs. Tennessee State University is among the few historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, the oldest and largest freshman honor society in the United States, and a Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, the most prestigious honor society comprising all academic disciplines.

A great deal of focus has been given to improving the academic environment – strengthening our research reputation, attracting and retaining the best and brightest students, encouraging service-focused programs, engaging and supporting expert faculty in diverse fi elds, building on

our student-centered philosophy and holding steadfast to our motto of “Think. Work. Serve.” Currently, we are improving customer service and setting new standards of excellence in higher education. But with all the many examples of past accomplishments we can share, we are looking toward an even brighter future.

Today, Tennessee State University’s student enrollment is more than 9,000. There are more than 400 faculty and more than 1,200 staff who are part of the university’s team. Additionally, the university’s rich strength in embracing diversity is evident with 46 countries and 45 states representative of the student body.

The beauty and accessibility of the university’s main campus is a plus with now 65 buildings on more than 450 acres. Complementing the main campus is a newly renovated downtown campus that features a simulated stock-trading center, a student computer laboratory and continuing education, distance learning and multimedia services.

The university is arming students with the intellectual resources to compete in a global environment. In support of that, important partnerships have been established with leading global companies such as Boeing, Raytheon, Dell, IBM and others, in which both funding and service-learning opportunities are currently active.

S i n c e t a k i n g over the h e l m of the Tennessee S t a t e

University athletic department back in April of 2002, Teresa Lawrence Phillips has made good on her promise to move the department to a higher level. In her brief time as athletic director, the athletic department has made tremendous strides on the playing fi eld, on the Tennessee State University campus and community and in the classroom.

Phillips had served as interim athletic director on three diff erent occasions before accepting the permanent position as the department’s head. Previously, she had served as Associate Athletic Director from 1995 to 1997.

Some accomplishments under the Phillips administration include the launching of the fi rst offi cial website for TSU Athletics in August of 2002, the revitalization of the Big Blue Booster Club, the recognition of Ohio Valley Conference Scholar Athletes, and a conference championship in volleyball.

Phillips also has the distinction of being the fi rst woman ever to coach an NCAA Division I men’s basketball team en route to being named one of the “101 Most Infl uential Minorities in Sports” by Sports Illustrated in 2003. She was also named as the Second Most Infl uential Woman in Sports In Tennessee by The Tennessean newspaper. It was not the fi rst time Phillips had been in the national limelight, as she was named USA Today’s National Coach of the Year in 1990 and was a two-time OVC Coach of the Year selection.

No stranger to athletic success herself, she was head coach of the Lady Tigers basketball program at Tennessee State for 11 seasons from 1989-2000. Phillips and her staff enjoyed their most successful season in 1994–95 as the Tigers (22–7,12–4 OVC) gained a share of the regular season title. TSU claimed its second consecutive tournament title and a trip to the NCAA tournament. Facing 21st-ranked Oregon State in the fi rst round of the NCAA Tournament, the Lady Tigers clawed all night before losing in overtime, 88–75.

Phillips guided the 1993–94 squad to the program’s fi rst-ever OVC regular season crown, the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship, and the team’s fi rst appearances

ever in the NCAA tournament.

She has been invited twice to serve as an assistant coach for USA Basketball (1995 and 1999) and was invited to serve as an assistant coach for the U.S. Olympic Festival North Squad.

In the fall of 2001, TSU was awarded the Ohio Valley Conference Academic Achievement Banner for the combined academic accomplishments of its student-athletes. Recently, the football program went from the bottom of the conference to second best in academic success. TSU student-athletes’ combined grade-point average, compared to the average GPA of the student body, was higher than that of any other OVC member’s athletes.

Prior to her stint at Tennessee State, Phillips was head coach at Fisk University for four years. During that time, she guided the Lady Bulldogs to WIAC League and Tournament Championships in 1987 and 1988 and was tabbed WIAC Coach of the Year twice (1987, 1988). Phillips also served as the National Youth Sports Drug Program Education Specialist and served on the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee for two years. She compiled a 68-34 overall record with the Bulldogs.

A 1980 graduate of Vanderbilt University with bachelor’s degrees in economics and business education and a Masters in Education from TSU in 1999, Phillips, who helped recruit six All-Americans and seven All-State players, spent four years as an assistant coach with the Lady Commodores from 1981 to 1984.

Phillips earned several honors as a three-year letterwinner at Vanderbilt. She was the fi rst recipient of the Lady Commodore Athlete of the Year honor, given to the best all-around female athlete. In addition, she received the Nashville Civitan’s Sportsmanship Award in 1979 and 1980.

Community oriented, Phillips has served on the Boys’ and Girls’ Club Board of Directors since 1995. She has held memberships in several boards and organizations, including the Black Coaches Association, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, the Nashville Sports Council, the NCAA Championship and Competition Cabinet and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Phillips, who was born on June 16, 1958, in Chattanooga, Tennessee has two sons, Micah and Kyle.



In 2007, the Tennessee State University Tigers showed an ability to move the football, racking up and average of 400.5 yards per game in Total Off ense. Defensively, however, TSU yielded 385.9 yards per game. The Tigers fi nished the season as the Ohio Valley Conference rushing off ense leader (210.8 ypg), but were tied for sixth (of 10) in Total Defense.

Off ensively, the Tigers look to a veteran off ensive line led by seniors Cecil Newton (6-2, 305) and Cornelius Lewis (6-5, 3-10) and anchored by juniors Stewart McClean (6-3, 290) and Duvall Young (6-3, 205). At quarterback there are two veteran signal callers for the Big Blue in senior Antonio Heff ner (6-2, 207) and Calvin McNairl (6-0, 210). Heff ner led the OVC in Passing (212.3 ypg) and Total Off ense (260.4 ypg) before suff ering a season-ending ankle injury against Eastern Kentucky (10/10/07) in the seventh game of the year and McNairl came in as a true freshman to lead the Tigers with a 2-2 record in the fi nal games of the season. Heff ner participated in limited spring drills and continues to rehabilitate his ankle over the summer for his senior season.

The Tiger rushing attack is headed by senior Javarris Williams (5-11, 220) who rushed for 1,187 yds (107.9 ypg) and 12 TDs. Williams enters the 2008 season as the OVC’s returning leader in Rushing (1,187/107.9 ypg), All-Purpose Yards (1,427 / 129.7 ypg) and rushing TDs scored (12). He ranks second on TSU All-Time Career rushing list (3,292). Senior WR Chris Johnson had forty-one (41) receptions for 740 yards and 4 TDs last year.

On the defensive side the Tigers have a new Defensive Coordinator in Rod Reed, who must replace departed CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The defensive backfi eld will be fi lled with veterans in seniors Larry Williford (6-1, 185) and Reno Thompson (6-0, 190). Two junior veterans include Anthony Levine (6-1, 195) and Marquez Hall (5-9, 170). Williford and Hall had two interceptions last season.

The line backing corps is headed by senior Ramond Willis (6-2, 245) and juniors Kalvin Baker (6-1, 225) and Kellen Woodard (6-3, 220). Willis and Baker are the leading returning tacklers for the Big Blue, recording 84 and 79 tackles respectively. Willis fi nished the 2007 with nine (9) TFLs for 31 yds with one sack and one interception.

The defensive line will be headed by seniors Maurice Davis (6-2, 245). Davis fi nished the 2007 with 6.5 TFLs (32) and 3 sacks (23).

TSU COACHES



James Webster, Jr.James Webster, Jr.Head CoachHead Coach

James Webster enters his fourth season as head football coach at Tennessee State University. Coach Webster brings with him 30 years of football coaching experience to the Big Blue.

Coach Webster registered his first win as a head coach at the Southern Heritage Classic, as the Tigers defeated Jackson State 20-14 in overtime. His first OVC win came in a 31-20 victory at Tennessee Tech on October 15, 2005.

Prior to coming to the Tigers, he served four seasons on the coaching staff at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina. Webster was the assistant head coach and special team's coordinator at UNC. He had previously coached the team's defensive ends.

Coach Webster has begun a new chapter in the proud history of the TSU Tigers football program. The Tigers earned back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference championships in 1998 and 1999, and were ranked first in the NCAA Division I-AA at the end of the regular season in 1999. TSU's football team has also won several National Black College Championships, the most recent in 1982.

Webster began his college football career as a player at North Carolina in 1968. He started at linebacker for three consecutive seasons. Webster was a standout defensive player for the UNC Tar Heels, and was named Most Valuable Defensive Player in the 1971 Gator Bowl. The following year, he received the ACC’s Brian Piccolo Award and the Frank Porter Graham Award as one of the top 12 seniors at UNC. He graduated from UNC in 1972, with a bachelor's degree in education. Webster began his coaching career in 1973 with North Carolina. He worked with the junior varsity program under former head coach Bill Dooley. Webster has also coached linebackers at Dartmouth (1993-95), defensive ends at Wake Forest (1988-93), and defensive backs at Northwestern (1982-84).

In the fall of 1946, after six weeks of prac-tice, a 100-piece marching band took to the fi eld at Tennessee State University and a tradition of excellence was born.The idea for a show band at Tennessee State University originated with its sec-ond president, the late Dr. Walter S. Da-vis. President Davis selected J. D. Chavis to serve as the fi rst band director. Under Chavis’s leadership, the marching band grew and developed into a premier uni-versity band that gave spectacular perfor-mances in parades and half-time shows at football games. In 1947 and 1948, the marching band performed in the Wash-ington Classic in Washington, D.C., where top historically black colleges and univer-sities competed for national champion-ships.Chavis’s tenure as band director ended in 1951 and the baton was passed to Frank T. Greer. Tennessee State University’s dis-tinctive style was further developed un-der Greer. The band continued to earn invitations to special events.Four years after Greer began his work, the TSU band was invited to perform during the halftime show of a Chicago Bears-Los Angeles Rams professional football game. The performance was the fi rst of a series of nationally televised halftime shows for the band. It was also the fi rst time a his-torically black university band had ap-peared on national television.Between 1956 and 1978, the TSU band performed halftime shows for nine pro-

fessional football games. Reportedly, it was during one of these halftime per-formances that a sportscaster called the marching band from Tennessee State Uni-versity “The Aristocrat of Bands.” Needless to say, the name stuck.The Aristocrat of Bands has also appeared in the Orange Blossom Classic in Miami, the Blues Bowl in Memphis and the Grant-land Rice Bowl in Wichita Falls, Texas.In 1961, the TSU band claimed another fi rst for historically black universities when it was invited to march in President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural parade. One of the students who marched in that pa-rade was Edward L. Graves, who is the cur-rent director of the Aristocrat of Bands.Since 1979, Graves has continued to build the band’s legacy. The Aristocrat of Bands has shared its characteristic precision and distinctly soulful style with people throughout the country and in foreign lands.“Greer taught us to dream and to really work hard,” Graves recalled. “He taught us not to be satisfi ed with just anything. You don’t put a man on the moon without a lot of work. He instilled those standards in us. He taught us to excel.”Students who achieve membership in the Aristocrat of Bands adhere to those stan-dards today. Noted as one of the fi nest and most spectacular university bands in the United States, the Aristocrats are the featured attraction during pre-game and half-time performances at all home

games and at most out-of-town competi-tions.Still in demand for halftime performanc-es, parades and other special events, the band’s recent special appearances in-clude a spot in the 2000 CBS Thanksgiv-ing Day parade, performing with country music artists Big & Rich for the 2005 CMT Music Awards, the Nashville Symphony’s 2006 presentation of Porgy and Bess, and halftime performances for Tennessee Ti-tans professional football games.In January of 1993, the Aristocrat of Bands participated in the presidential inaugural parade for President Bill Clinton, march-ing in the streets of Washington, D.C. The band returned to Washington four years later for President Clinton’s second inau-guration celebration.This year, the tradition will continue. Au-diences will be thoroughly entertained by the band’s unique marching style and musical versatility. The majorettes, better known as the Sophisticated Ladies, en-hance the dynamic style and sound of the Aristocrat of Bands.Graves is assisted by assistant band directors Reginald McDonald, James Sexton, and Sean Daniels, majorette coordinator Judy Fenton Gentry, offi ce manager Michelle Allen, secretary Melva Tate, announcer Ernie Allen, media specialist Cass Teague and instrument repair technician James Pitts.

LP FIELDLP FIELD

The Tennessee State Tigers have the opportunity to play their home football games in one of the nation’s finest sports venues in LP Field, sharing the facility for home games with the National Football League’s Tennessee Titans.

The state-of-the-art facility has served as home of the Tigers and the Titans from the beginning of the 1999 season. LP Field is located on the east bank of the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville.

LP Field, which seats approximately 67,500 fans, boasts incredible amenities, ranging from spacious and tastefully appointed locker rooms to massive scoreboards. The natural grass field was rated as the fourth best playing surface in the NFL in a poll conducted among league players in 2001.

LP Field has 144 luxury suites and 9,600 club seats with access to the stadium club and club lounges. There are also approximately 7,500 parking spaces on the site.

LP Field grounds are also designed to help create a park-like setting along the Cumberland River, not just a showplace for bland concrete and asphalt. More than 205 trees have been planted on the 105-acre campus. Tiger fans gather early and stay late to enjoy tailgating on LP Field grounds.

In addition to games featuring the Tigers and Titans, LP Field also hosts the annual Music City Bowl college football game in late December. LP Field also hosts concerts and other special events during the course of a year.

LP Field has:

• 144 luxury suites

• 9,600 club seats

• 60 concession stands throughout stadium

• Three locker rooms

• Two scoreboards with video screens located on north and south ends of stadium

• Four suite elevators

• More than 2,000 trees planted within the 105 acres

• 7,500 parking spaces available on-site with more than 20,000 existing parking spaces nearby

• Space for 400 wheelchair patrons and associated companion seats

• 80 parking spaces for disabled

• 26 men’s restrooms, 40 women’s restrooms

• Tifsport Bermuda sod, which grew for a year before being laid down in May. Each roll of sod weighed 2,000 pounds and was cut into 108-foot long, 42-inch wide strips that were 1.5 inches thick.



NASHVILLE, TENNESSEENASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Wiith a metropolitan population of nearly one million, Nashville is the largest city in the Ohio Valley Conference. Despite its size, Nashville is a pleasant mix of big city entertainment and “down home” friendliness.

Resting halfway between the northern and southern boundaries of the United States, Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the entertainment, cultural and commercial center of the mid-south.

Nashville’s location puts it near the nation’s population center. Major cities such as Atlanta, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis and Birmingham can all be reached by car within 3-5 hours.

When it comes to having a good time, there is no better place than Nashville. The city offers a multitude of sporting events, a full range of recreational opportunities, the largest movie theater east of the Mississippi River, restaurants, parks and places to shop.

Tennessee State University is one of three historically black colleges and universities in Nashville.

Nashville’s 17,000-seat Gaylord Entertainment Center, the home of the NHL Nashville Predators, hosted first- and second-round action of the 2000 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and the 2001 Ohio Valley Conference Men’s Basketball Championships.

The 2002 AFC Central Champion Tennessee Titans brought the National Football League to Nashville. The team currently shares its 67,000-seat home, the Coliseum, with the Tennessee State Football Tigers. The stadium is just across the Cumberland River from downtown Nashville.

The Predators hit the ice in 1998. The team led the NHL in attendance for markets under two million its first year, drawing an average of 16,202 fans per game.

Professional baseball can also be found in Nashville in the form of the Nashville Sounds. The Sounds play in the Pacific Coast League as the AAA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Known as “Music City, USA,” Nashville is a city whose music tastes range from country to rock to gospel. Nashville has several major concert venues along with some world-renowned music clubs. Most big-name concert tours make a stop in Music City.

Tennessee State University is in the middle of the action. The main campus is located just five minutes west of downtown Nashville, while the Avon Williams campus is located in the heart of downtown.

Nashville is a cornerstone of the mid-south economy, and Tennessee State University graduates are prominent in the Nashville community and business scene.

The 2008 Tennessee State University football media guide is dedicated to the memory of Kindell Stephens, Sr..

Kindell dedicated his adult professional life to the “Big Blue” athletic programs ... foot-ball, basketball, track and fi eld. His enthusiastic interaction with Tennessee State Uni-versity student-athletes , colleagues and the community were infectious to all. His phrase “I Guarantee You!” on TSU radio broadcasts still resonates to all who listened to the Tigers’ football games.

Kindell Stephens, Sr. was born on June 23, 1942 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He left the world a better place because of his presence on Wednesday, January 2, 2008.

He attended Cincinnati Public Schools, graduating from Taft High School. He played basketball at Bliss Jr. College in Ohio and Ohio University before transferring to Fisk University where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Education and his Master of Arts in English.

At Fisk University, Kindell starred for three seasons, 1968, 1969 and 1970. He was team MVP in 1969 and 1970 averaging 17.6 points and 11.2 rebounds over his career. He ended his playing career as the second leading scorer in Fisk history with 1,269 points. Kindell Stephens is the only player in Fisk history drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA and the Carolina Cougars of the ABA.

Stephens was unable to move forward with a professional career due to a career ending injury, but he returned to Nashville and became a mentor and innovator. First as a dorm director at Fisk University where he began to take young athletes under his wing. In 1977, Kindell took the role of Sports Information at Tennessee State University. He quickly began to develop numerous sports programs to uplift young men and women around the city. During this period, he excelled as “The Voice of the Tigers” on TSU football radio broadcasts.

Kindell traveled around the world as a coach with the Special Olympics. He was also the visionary of numerous prison basketball ministries. He left Tennessee State University in 1988 and went to work for the Tennessee Department of Employment Security as a mentor to underprivileged men and women. While there he started a life skills program. During that time he doubled as Fisk’s Sports Information Director and wrote sports columns for the Metropolitan Times.

Kindell’s love for the “Big Blue” led him back to TSU where he continued to work in the Sports Information Offi ce. Kindell evolved into the role of the Athletic Department’s “Historian” with his vast knowledge of the Tigers’ athletic past. During his lengthy illness, he continued to work on a book on the history of TSU athletics.

His untiring work on historic projects for the TSU football, basketball and track teams have had a lasting eff ect on the recognition of “Tiger Lore”. He had a driving passion to refurbish and sustain the TSU Athletic Hall of Fame.
