In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

What began as a small gathering of college administrators more than 47 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the University of Texas at Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence.

On July 1, 2006, the Southland Conference commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organization. The addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock, Ark., metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. Central Arkansas and A&M-Corpus Christi enhanced the Southland Conference in innumerable ways, including athletic and academic successes, strong and principled leadership, and strong fan support and media coverage.

In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference lineup also consists of Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Texas State University-San Marcos.

All told, the revised membership of the Southland encompasses more than 180,000 current students and an alumni base of approximately 920,000. Famous alums from Southland Conference schools include former President Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas State), former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), retired U.S. Central Command General Tommy Franks (UT Arlington), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), country music star George Strait (Texas State), Major League Baseball stars Hunter Pence (UT Arlington), Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Ben Broussard (McNeese State), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas) and actor Lou Diamond Phillips (UT Arlington).

The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, San Antonio and the New Orleans area, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches,

Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Houston, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport.

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has already broadcast nearly 70 events. In just its second year of production, the network has already received recognition for its work. It received a College Sports Media Award at the College Sports Video Summit in Atlanta in June 2010 for it production of the 2009 McNeese State vs. Stephen F. Austin football game, which was judged the best live game or event in its category. The network also collected three prestigious Tell Awards. Entering its third season in 2010-11, the network will expand its reach to roughly 6 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.

In February 2010, the Southland Conference learned it, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and the Hunt Sports Group, would serve as the host of the NCAA Division I Football Championship game. The first of three championship games will be played Jan. 7, 2011 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, which has been home to the conference office since 2006. Frisco was recently named the fastest growing city in the nation.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest, the sixth such title game appearance since the league joined the FCS in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 92 Division I playoff games in 28 years, winning 43 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage

has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Originally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968. The College Division was re-named NCAA Division II in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class, before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since.

During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference was instrumental in the startup of the Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first-ever NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 FCS national title.

McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, played in the 1997 and 2002 NCAA Division I FCS national championship games, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title game and has five playoff appearances, reaching the quarterfinals in 2009. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned four trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls has participated three times in the playoffs. In 2008, Texas State made its second postseason appearance in four years. Included was a trip to the semifinals in 2005.

On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the national 16-team playoffs. Six of the eight current football-playing members have qualified for the FCS playoffs. In addition, Texas State won NCAA Division II titles in 1981 and 1982 before joining the Southland.

The Southland has produced 153 first-team football All-Americans during its history, and has sent such talent to the professional ranks including Oakland’s Keith Davis (Sam Houston State), Carolina’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), Kansas City’s B.J. Sams (McNeese State), Detroit’s Kevin Smith (McNeese State), Minnesota’s Fred Evans (Texas State), Tennessee’s Jacob Ford (Central Arkansas), and Oakland’s Luke Lawton (McNeese State).

The Southland is one of three FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (202) in the National Football League Draft. The league also ranks third in the FCS with 22 players

taken in the draft since 2000 and has 22 former players on NFL rosters to start the 2010 season.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Fred Barnett, Roger Carr, Marvin Upshaw, Larry Centers, Kavika Pittman, Mike Barber, Bruce Collie, Tim McKyer, Pat Tilley, Jackie Harris, Eugene Seale, Bubby Brister, Billy Ryckman, Rafael Septien, Buford Jordan, Marcus Spears, Terrance Shaw and Ray Brown.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 45-plus years. The league has sent two teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney, Devin Brown, and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. In 2008, the league saw two postseason teams (UT Arlington in the NCAA tournament and Stephen F. Austin in the NIT) for the first time since 2001.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins, joining Tennessee, Louisiana Tech, Old Dominion, Texas, James Madison, Ohio State and Tennessee Tech.

In 2010, for the first time in Southland history, three league members advanced to the postseason as Lamar won its first conference tournament title and played in its second NCAA tournament. Stephen F. Austin was selected to play in its third WNIT and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi won a

school-record 24 games en route to its deepest postseason run, advanced to the semifinals of the inaugural Women’s Basketball Invitational.

A Southland team has played in the WNIT 10 times, including each of the last four years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Baseball has emerged as a huge Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the league. Former UT Arlington shortstop, Trey Hillman, a three-time All-Southland selection from 1983-85, was manager for the Kansas City Royals from the 2007-10 seasons and coached the American League in the 2009 MLB All-Star Game.

The 2010 Major League Baseball Draft was significant for the Southland as the league saw 17 players drafted pushing the all-time draft total to more than 400 selections (414). UT Arlington’s Michael Choice became the seventh Southland player taken in the first round, selected by Oakland with the 10th overall selection. He joins Ben Sheets (Louisiana-Monroe) as the league’s highest draft pick. The two are the only players in Southland history to be taken in the top 10 of the draft

Jim Gilligan, who won his 1,100th career game in 2009, and Mark Johnson, who won his 1,000th career game in 2010, join an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts including Pat Patterson, Butch McBroom, Jim Wells, Smoke Laval, Dave Van Horn, Mike Bianco, John Cohen and Tony Robichaux.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, as the league has knocked off at least one nationally ranked opponent since 1995, with six wins over ranked opponents in 2010 including wins by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Texas State over No. 15 Texas. In the 2003 NCAA Tournament, UT Arlington and Texas State enjoyed unprecedented success as each won two games

in the national event. The league has also won at least one game in the NCAA tournament in three of the past six years. In 18 years on NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 14 wins.

The Southland has a proud history in volleyball as UT Arlington has represented the conference eight times in the NCAA tournament, advancing all the way to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989. In 2006, Stephen F. Austin moved to the second round following an opening-round win against Alabama.

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 27 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner and Charles Austin, Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of eight more All-American seasons in 2010, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 60 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 10 national championships. Likewise in the spring outdoor season, the league has seen 138 different All-Americans, including 110 men and 28 women, combine to win 20 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2009 as both Lamar and UT Arlington qualified for regional play. Additionally, during the past two seasons the Southland has sent eight golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009 and three more in 2010. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player

Ronnie Black.In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished

fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007.

Southland tennis has also experienced national prominence. UT Arlington All-American Andy Leber was the 2002 ITA/Ted Farnsworth National Senior Co-Player of the Year after a 43-3 record and earning the nation’s No. 2 ranking. In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. In 2007, Stephen F. Austin became the first Southland soccer team to score a goal in the NCAA tournament, while Texas State became the first women’s golf program to compete in the NCAA tournament.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 934 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2010 spring semester.

In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

SOUTHLANDCONFERENCE


Tom Burnett was named the Southland Conference’s sixth commissioner on Dec. 23, 2002, and brought a diverse background in athletics administration experience at the conference and national levels. Now the second-longest tenured full-time commissioner in league

history, Burnett is in his eighth year of service with the Southland, and has a conference administrative background reaching over two decades.

Burnett has helped to enhance the Southland’s membership, with addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in July, 2006. The new membership gave the league 12 member institutions, the largest configuration in the conference’s 45-year history.

The league’s television exposure has expanded under his watch with the creation of the Southland Conference Television Network in 2008. This broadcast venture has since provided nearly 70 unique sports and promotional telecasts to a potential viewing audience of more than 13 million television households, and plans are underway for a third year of telecasts in 2010-11. The Southland also signed a multi-year agreement with the ESPN family of networks in 2005, and the league has had longstanding relationships with Fox Sports Net Southwest and Cox Sports Television.

He also recently led the successful community-wide effort to bring the 2010-12 NCAA Division I Football Championship Games to Frisco, Texas, as the Southland will serve as host for the upcoming national title contests at Pizza Hut Park.

A current member of both the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Academic Performance and the Division I Football Academic Working Group, Burnett also served as the FCS Vice President for the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA) in 2007-08. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for NCAA Football, the organization that serves to improve, promote and protect college football for those who play, coach and support the game.

In 2004, Burnett also began the league’s renewed efforts to secure corporate sponsorships. Since then, the Southland has secured sponsorship agreements with State Farm Insurance, Capital One Bank, Toyota, American Airlines, Royal Purple Motor Oil, Best Western Hotels, O’Reilly Auto Parts, BellSouth, Aeropostale, Academy Sports and Outdoors, and Advantage Rent-A-Car.

He also initiated efforts to bring the Southland Conference Basketball Tournaments to a neutral site in the Houston area, giving the league a year-end celebration of the sport at a centralized location near much of the Southland’s largest alumni and student bases.

Prior to joining the Southland, Burnett spent nearly 11 years in a number of roles with the Sun Belt Conference, including stints as associate and assistant commissioner, and director of communications. He also served two years on the staff of the American South Conference.

His previous responsibilities included championships administration, public and media relations, television production and negotiation, scheduling, marketing, NCAA championship and committee service, and football bowl experience.

While at the Sun Belt, Burnett worked in the development of football as a league-sponsored sport, and was an administrator with the New Orleans Bowl, which began in 2001. He also produced the Sun Belt’s television packages with ESPN Regional Television, which debuted in 2002. In addition, he has experience negotiating television agreements with regional sports networks such as Fox Sports Net, Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast and numerous local television stations and cable systems.

He also provided oversight of Sun Belt championship events and administered well over 100 league tournaments. In 2000, he began exclusively administering the Sun Belt’s men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, which grew from minimal financial successes into events that grossed the conference $1.2 million over a three-year period.

Burnett has also served in an administrative capacity with numerous NCAA events, including national championships in men’s and women’s basketball, track and field, baseball and volleyball.

He represented the Southland Conference on the NCAA Division I Management Council in 2004-05, and served on the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Governance Committee from 2004-06. Burnett previously served on the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, and the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee.

Burnett, 46, is a native of Houston, Texas, and is a 1988 graduate of Louisiana Tech University, where he studied journalism and spent one year as the sports editor of the school’s student newspaper.

He and his wife Tracy, a native of Baton Rouge, La., are the parents of a son, Cole, and a daughter, Jesse.

As one of the nation’s newest and innovative broadcast opportunities, the award-winning Southland Conference Television Network became a reality in 2008 and has broadcast nearly 70 events during its first two years. In just its second year of production, the network received a College Sports Media Award at the College Sports Video Summit in Atlanta as well as three prestigous Telly Awards.

Entering its third year of programming, the network has affiliate commitments from 14 stations that will reach roughly 6 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, improving the market reach of the network from the previous two years.

“We are very excited about our expanded list of affiliates in the Southland Conference’s three-state region,” Burnett said. “The Southland Network has continued to grow and more broadcasters have expressed interest in our programming. We are also very proud of new breakthrough over-the-air agreements in markets like Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin and New Orleans.”

The network’s 10-game football schedule gets underway Sept. 25 with the only non-conference game to be televised by the network this season. Sam Houston State will play host to Gardner-Webb of the Big South Conference. It is the only Saturday game the network will carry with a 6 p.m. kickoff. All other Saturday games will kick off at 2 p.m.

Conference play starts Oct. 2 and the network will carry the McNeese State at Northwestern State game that day. Other October games include Texas State at Southeastern Louisiana, Central Arkansas at Stephen F. Austin, Stephen F. Austin vs. Sam Houston State and Southeastern Louisiana at Central Arkansas.

The network will televise four games in November, including Central Arkansas at Texas State, Nicholls at Northwestern State, Southeastern Louisiana at Nicholls, and a wild card game the final week of the regular season The league will determine that matchup at a later date based on the conference race.

All network programming will be available on SLC NOW, the Southland’s streaming video channel on its website: southland.org.

HISTORY&RECORDS

After claiming five regular season team championships, Stephen F. Austin has won its first Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup. Stephen F. Austin joins UT Arlington (1998-99) as the only universities to win both the men’s and women’s all-sports trophies and the Commissioner’s Cup in the same season. The 158 points accumulated by SFA are the most by a Commissioner’s Cup winner since Texas State posted 175.5 points in the 2003-04 scholastic year.

The combined five regular season men’s and women’s team championships are the most by Stephen F. Austin since 2005 and the 29-point margin in the Commissioner’s Cup standings is the largest winning margin in Southland history.

The Lumberjacks recorded four runner-up finishes and an additional three top-five finishes. SFA won its first men’s all-sports trophy with 71.5 points after sharing the confer-ence championship in football last fall. The Lumberjacks were second in indoor and outdoor track and field and basketball and came in fourth in baseball and cross country.

SFA won its second women’s all-sports trophy and its first since the 1999-2000 season on the strength of four regular-season championships in basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field and a co-championship in softball. The 86.5 points are the most compiled by SFA since it scored 87 during the 2003-04 season.

Texas State finished in a second-place tie with UTSA (129) after clinching its second consecutive regular-season championship in baseball on Saturday. In addition, the Bobcats recorded first-place finishes in women’s soccer, women’s golf and were co-champions in softball. Texas State has finished in the top three in the Commissioner’s Cup standings the last three seasons. UTSA tied for second in the Commissioner’s Cup standings and has been among the top two teams in four of the last five seasons. The Roadrunners won their first trophy in 2008. UTSA won two championships this season as the men’s indoor track and field team won its fifth consecutive conference title and the men’s outdoor team won its second title in the last three years.

UT Arlington came in fourth place for the second consecu-tive season with 124.5 points, marking the fourth consecutive year the Mavericks have scored 120 or more points. Sam Houston State logged 120 points to finish in fifth for the second consecutive year.

McNeese State (101.5), Lamar (101) and Southeastern Louisiana (100.5) finished sixth, seventh and eighth, re-spectively by a one-point difference. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi finished ninth (91.5) while Northwestern State (76), Nicholls (62.5) and Central Arkansas (52.5) rounded out the standings.

The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded annually to the top overall athletics program in the Southland. Texas State leads all member institutions with five. UT Arlington and Sam Houston State each have three and Northwestern State, Stephen F. Austin and UTSA have one apiece.

The Southland Conference All-Sports Trophies are awarded annually for men’s and women’s competition based on a 12-point system for all conference sports. Point values are 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1, pending place of finish. Regular-season standings are used for sports that have a conference tournament. The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded to the university compiling the highest combined total of men’s and women’s all-sports points.

The Southland Conference presents five academic accolades to recognize student-athletes within the league who demonstrate excellence in the classroom and superior athletic achievements on the field or court. These academic honors include the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the All-Academic teams, the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year, the Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete awards and the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship awards.

Commissioner’s Academic Honor RollNow called the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the Southland

Conference acknowledges all participants in all sports sponsored by the league and its member institutions. The honor roll is released within 30 days at the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters, recognizing student-athletes who maintained a 3.0 or better grade-point average.

Student-athletes, nominated by their respective academic advisors, must have been eligible to compete in a Conference sport during the academic year in which the nomination occurs.

The honor roll was first dubbed Southland Conference All-Academic and then the Southland Conference Honor Roll. It changed for a third time to the Commissioner’s List, beginning with the 1996-97 season, before acquiring its current title in the 2003-04 academic year.

Southland Conference All-Academic TeamsThe Southland Conference announces all-academic teams in all 17

championship sports to recognize those student-athletes who excel in the classroom and on the field or court.

Nominated by each institution’s athletic media relations director and selected by a voting contingent made up of sports information directors, head coaches and academic or compliance administrators, all-academic team members must have posted at least a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, completed at least one full academic year at the member institution prior to the season in which the nomination occurs, and competed in a minimum of 50 percent of the sport’s contests during the most recently completed season.

Student-athletes receiving CoSIDA national academic honors are automatically named to the Southland all-academic first team. All-academic teams are announced in conjunction with the conference’s student-athlete of the year in each sport. One team shall be selected for cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field within 30 days following the outdoor championship.

Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the YearEstablished in the 2002-03 academic year, the conference honors one

student-athlete from each of the 17 championship sports who achieves excellence in academics, athletics and community/campus service.

The student-athlete of the year, selected by the league’s awards committee, will have attained athletics achievement for at least two years at the nominating institution, possess at least a 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and demonstrated extracurricular service at his/her campus and/or community.

The recipient of the student-athlete of the year award is announced in conjunction with the all-academic teams in each sport.

Southland Conference Scholar-AthleteBeginning with the 1996-97 season, the conference annually recognizes

the outstanding male and female student-athletes from each of the league’s member institutions. Student-athletes must be a letterwinner with a minimum 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and have completed at least two years of intercollegiate competition at the school from which he/she was nominated. The student-athletes are selected by their respective institution administrators.

F.L. McDonald Postgraduate ScholarshipThe F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship is presented annually to

graduating male and female letterwinners with the highest cumulative grade-point averages during their enrollment at Southland member schools. The $2,500 scholarship must be applied to graduate study at an institution of the recipient’s choice.

The award was established in memory of Dr. F.L. McDonald in 1996-97, a former president of Lamar University and 1999 Southland Hall of Honor inductee. McDonald served as Lamar’s president in 1963 when the Southland Conference was established and is considered one of the league’s founding fathers.

Each member institution may nominate one male and one female student-athlete who meet the following criteria: a letterwinner in a Conference sport, be on track to graduate during the spring in which they are nominated or the subsequent summer, and plan to attend graduate school no later than the second fall following the receipt of the award.

The Southland Conference enters the fourth year of its successful football officiating consortium with the Big 12 Conference. The Mountain West Conference is joining the consortium in 2010. Unprecedented in the annals of Division I football, the combined officiating program provides the Southland, Big 12 and Mountain West conferences the ability to train and develop officials in a uniform manner, and

build consistent philosophies on rules interpretations and on-field mechanics. A joint summer officiating clinic and an extensive system of film review also highlight the program.

Long-time college and NFL official Byron Boston coordinates the Southland Conference portion of the joint program, and also assists in all aspects of the Big 12 officiating program. Boston, a veteran of more than 30 years of officiating, got his

collegiate start as an official in the Southland Conference in 1987, and joined the Southwest Conference in 1990. He is also entering his 16th year as an NFL game official, having called 14 playoff games, including seven conference championship games and Super Bowl XXXIV between the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans.

Sam Houston State capped a successful season in what would turn out to be the last for 36-year head coach Ron Randleman. The Bearkats had the best turn-around season in all of Division I football, going from 2-9 in 2003 to an 11-3 mark in 2004. SHSU recorded the most wins in school history and notched its third Southland Confer-ence championship in school history. The Bearkats shared the 2004 title with Northwestern State as each compiled 4-1 league records.

Northwestern State received the league’s auto-matic berth to the NCAA playoffs after winning the fourth regular-season title in school history. The Demons fell in the first-round of the FCS playoffs to Montana.

SHSU used an at-large berth to the playoffs and advanced to the semifinal round of the tournament for the first time in school history. The Bearkats opened with an impressive 54-24 win over No. 3 Western Kentucky in round one. They then had to overcome a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win, 35-34, at Eastern Washington in quarterfinal action.

Up next was a trip to Missoula where SHSU outgained the host Grizz, but lost the turnover battle. The Bearkats had four miscues while UM did not turn the ball over. The first three turnovers by SHSU led to touchdowns for Montana. Included were two interceptions in the first half, which led to a 14-6 halftime cushion for the host.

The 2004 season marked the 12th time in the last 14 years the Southland Conference was represented by multiple teams in the 16-team NCAA FCS playoff field. Sam Houston State and Northwestern State were duplicates from the 2001 playoffs in a year when the Southland sent three teams with McNeese State also advancing.

2005Southeastern Louisiana, a member of the league in all other sports since 1997, began Southland Conference football competition.

Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita wrecked havoc on the 2005 schedule before Texas State and Nicholls shared the regular-season crown for the first Southland titles for either. The two advanced to the NCAA FCS playoffs with Texas State going all the way to the semifinals before losing in overtime to Northern Iowa, 40-37.

2006With McNeese State off to a 1-3 start, the 2006 season looked to be in trouble for success. But a turnaround happened as Matt Viator was named head coach on Sept. 13, 2006.

Viator went on to lead the Cowboys to the NCAA championship playoffs by posting a 6-2 record in his partial season. He was named both the South-land Coach of the Year and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Coach of the Year and was a finalist in the balloting for the national Football Championship Subdivision’s Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award.

McNeese State captured its 11th Southland regular-season title and fourth in the last six years by posting a 5-1 league record in 2006 to finish one game ahead of Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin.

Southland newcomer Central Arkansas posted the best overall record at 8-3, but did not play a Southland schedule.

2007McNeese State completed the regular-season 11-0, becoming the first Southland school to complete the regular-season undefeated since the Cowboys accomplished the feat in 1995. As a result, the school won its 12th Southland regular-season title. The Cowboys also hosted a first-round FCS playoff game, becoming the first Southland school to host since Texas State hosted three in 2005.

The Southland won two games against FBS op-ponents in 2007, as Nicholls knocked off Rice 16-14 and McNeese State defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 38-17. They were the 14th and 15th wins against the FBS for the Southland since 2000.

In the NFL Draft, the Southland had three players, McNeese State’s Bryan Smith, Nicholls State’s Ka-reem Moore and Northwestern State’s Demetrius Bell all taken. Smith was taken No. 80 overall in the third round by the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming the highest Southland player to be selected since former Cowboy Keith Smith was taken No. 73 in the 2004 NFL Draft.

Lamar, a member of the Southland Conference in sports other than football, announces it will revive football after discontinuing the program in 1989. Lamar will begin play as an FCS independent in 2010 and will play a Southland Conference schedule in 2011.

2008Texas State won its second Southland title with a 5-2 record after beating rival Sam Houston State in the regular-season finale. Central Arkansas, ineligible for the league championship during its transition to Division I from Division II, finished with a league-best 6-1 conference record. By

virtue of winning the outright Southland title, Texas State earned the league’s automatic bid into the FCS playoffs, where it collided with perennial power and fourth-seeded Montana. The Grizzlies went on to reach the NCAA Division I National Championship game after getting by the Bobcats 31-13 in the opening round.

Three players – Central Arkansas quarterback Nathan Brown and defensive end Larry Hart and Nicholls State defensive back Lardarius Webb – as well as Central Arkansas head coach Clint Conque finished among the top 10 in balloting for the Payton Award, the Buck Buchanan Award and the Eddie Robinson Award.

The Southland led all FCS conferences with four NFL Draft picks in April. It was the most drafted out of the league since five were taken in 2002 and brought the total number of draft selections to 25 since the 2000 season. Webb was selected in the third round by Baltimore, while the New York Giants selected Sam Houston State quarterback Rhett Bomar in the fifth round. McNeese State receiver Quinten Lawrence and Stephen F. Austin receiver Dominique Edison, were taken in the sixth round by the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans, respectively. Another four players signed free agent contracts.

2009Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State each finished 6-1 in Southland Conference play to share the conference championship. SFA won its third conference title and first since 1999, while McNeese won its 13th conference champion-ship and its sixth since 2000. The shared titles marked the first time since 2005 the league split its championship. SFA beat McNeese, 16-13, to clinch the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA playoffs. The Lumberjacks, who were 0-11 in 2007, picked up the first postseason win by the league since 2005 when Texas State reached the semifinals. In its first appearance in the playoffs since its semifinal run in 1995, SFA beat Eastern Washington at home but lost at Montana in the quarterfinals. The Grizzlies went on to play in its second consecutive national championship game. McNeese, which was able to earn an at-large bid into the playoffs, also got a home game, but fell to New Hampshire.

Stephen F. Austin coach J.C. Harper was the run-nerup for the Eddie Robinson Award, which is presented to the national coach of the year. The conference coach of the year, was just two points shy from winning the national award.

HISTORY&RECORDS

The NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), the national association’s highest football classification, salutes its past, celebrates its present and plans for a promising future of achievement.

With a focus on high-quality competition, sportsmanship and on-the-field championship experience, the FCS provides alumni, students and fans with first-rate competitive excellence, while giving campuses and local communities tremendous rallying opportunities and an affordable family activity.

The origin of the game’s finest performers – Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Buck Buchanan, Tony Romo, Kurt Warner, Steve McNair, Rich Gannon and Brian Westbrook – the FCS annually proves itself as fertile ground for talent and the development of future stars and professional Hall of Famers. Coaching legends such as Eddie Robinson, Jim Tressel, Mack Brown, Tubby Raymond and Bobby Bowden all led programs at FCS institutions during their outstanding careers.

With an expansion to 20 teams this season, the NCAA Division I Football Championship annually gives the FCS a superb on-the-field playoff event, culminating with a week-long celebration in Frisco, Texas this year for the first time. With recent title game sellouts and increased television coverage by ESPN of all rounds, the Division I Football Championship is proving to be one of the NCAA’s premiere postseason events. Frisco, recently named the fastest growing city in the

nation, will be home to the championship game for at least the next three seasons and is a natural fit to help grow the championship game.

Since 1982, the Southland Conference, based in Frisco, has been a proud and prominent member of the FCS, and has an annual expectation of competing for the Division I national championship and placing multiple teams into postseason play. In addition to winning one Division I title, the Southland has also placed teams in six National Championship Games and has collectively won 43 Division I playoff games.

The Southland is one of 10 prestigious leagues that earn automatic qualification into the Division I Football Championship, a group that includes the Big Sky, Big South, Colonial, Missouri Valley Football, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot and Southern conferences.

FRISCO, TEXAS NAMED HOST CITY FORNCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Frisco is the new host city for the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship game, which will played at Pizza Hut Park on Jan. 7, 2011. The 23,500-seat multi-purpose stadium will be the host site for the championship game for the next three years.

“Touchdown! We can’t wait for college football to come to Frisco,” said mayor Maher Maso. “Frisco is a sports town and a Division I Football Championship is another chance for sports fans everywhere to not only experience great football but to also discover all our community has to offer. We also want to thank folks from all over the country who supported our bid effort.”

The local organizing committee consists of the City of Frisco, its Economic Development Corporation and Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hunt Sports Group/Pizza Hut Park, the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and Frisco based Southland Conference.

“The Southland Conference is honored and privileged to serve as the host conference for the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game,” said Southland Commissioner Tom Burnett. “Since beginning the planning process last August, our Team Frisco local organizing committee has worked diligently to bring this national

championship to Pizza Hut Park. We also knew from the start our community would support this effort. Given all the built-in advantages of Frisco and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, we always felt confident the NCAA would be attracted to what we were offering the game.”

Frisco emerged from a pool of several cities that submitted bids to serve as the host site for the championship games, beginning with the 2010 season. The championship game will be the culmination of a newly expanded 20-team championship bracket. As a result of this expansion, the game will be played a few weeks later than in years past.

The Football Championship Subdivision includes the conferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship, in addition to two conferences who choose not to participate in the football championship, the Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high level competition, student-athlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and the championship experience.

The decision to award the championship site to Frisco, Texas, was recommended by the Division I Football Championship Committee and approved by the Administrative Committee of the Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet.

“We are excited about the opportunity for the football championship game to be played in Frisco,” said Damani Leech, NCAA director of baseball and football. “With the quality of bids that were submitted, it was not an easy decision to make. But we feel the right decision and right place to serve as the site for the Division I football championship is indeed Frisco.”

The 2010 season will be the 47th for the Southland Conference, which began playing with five schools in 1964. Lamar was 3-0-1 that season to finish ahead of Arkansas State, Trinity, Abilene Christian and UT Arlington. None of those five schools currently play in the Southland Conference, though Lamar resumes play this year as an Independent in the Football Championship Subdivision before rejoining the conference in football next season. The school is a member of the Southland in its other sports. UT Arlington has not fielded a football team since 1985.

The season kicks off Thursday, Sept. 2 with a pair of games. Central Arkansas plays host to Elizabeth City State and Southeastern Louisiana is at Tulane. The first conference game will be played Oct. 2 when McNeese State visits Northwestern State in a game that will be televised on the Southland Conference Television Network. A full slate of league games is on the docket for Oct. 9. The final Saturday of the regular season is Nov. 20.

SouthlandAmongHostsofTitleGameThe Southland Conference, along with the

City of Frisco, Texas, and the Hunt Sports Group have been named hosts of the NCAA Division I Football National Championship Game for each of the next three years. The game moved to the Dallas suburb from Chattanooga, Tenn., after 13 seasons and will be played at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, which is home to the Southland Conference office. The first game will be played Jan. 7, 2011, a later date to help accomodate expansion of the playoff bracket from 16 to 20 teams. More information about the championship can be found on page 22.

Stephen F. Austin, McNeese State Aim toDefend2009Titles

Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State each finished 6-1 in Southland Conference play to share the 2009 conference championship. SFA won its third conference title and first since 1999, while McNeese won its 13th conference championship and its sixth since 2000. The shared titles marked the first time since 2005 the league split its championship.

SouthlandPlacesTwoTeamsin2009PlayoffsBoth Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State

earned berths into the NCAA Division I Playoffs last season. By virtue of its 16-13 home win over the Cowboys on the opening Saturday of conference play last season, SFA owned the tie-breaker for the Southland’s automatic berth into the playoffs. McNeese State, which had defeated No. 2 Appalacian State the second week of the season, was rewarded with an at-large playoff berth. It marked the 17th time overall and the first time since 2005 that the league placed at least two teams in the same playoffs. Both

Southland teams also opened the playoffs at home, marking the first time that has happened since the 1998 season.

SFAReachesQuarters,McNeeseSurprisedStephen F. Austin’s appearance in the playoffs

was its first since making a run to the national semifinals in 1995. The Lumberjacks, which were only two seasons removed from an 0-11 season, opened the 2009 playoffs with a 44-33 home victory over Eastern Washington, but it’s magical season ended in the quarterfinals in a 51-0 loss at Montana, a team that reached championship game for the second consecutive season. McNeese State also earned a home playoff game, giving the league two home games to start the playoffs for the first time since 2001. The Cowboys, however, dropped a 49-13 decision to New Hampshire, which went on to lose in the quarterfinals at Villanova, which defeated Montana to win the national championship.

SouthlandTVEnteringThirdSeasonAs one of the nation’s newest and innovative

broadcast opportunities, the award-winning Southland Conference Television Network became a reality in 2008 and has broadcast nearly 70 events during its first two years. In just its second year of production, the network received a College Sports Media Award at the College Sports Video Summit in Atlanta as well as three prestigous Telly Awards. Entering its third year of programming, the network has affiliate commitments from 14 stations that will reach roughly 6 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, improving the market reach of the network from the previous two years.

CentralArkansasHasCompletedTransitionThe Bears have completed their four-year

transition to NCAA Division I and will be fully eligible for postseason play this fall. Central Arkansas finished with a league-best 6-1 football mark in 2008 but was ineligible to win the conference title or participate in the NCAA playoffs during its transition. In three years as a member of the Southland Conference, UCA is 21-14 overall and 13-8 in league play. The Bears return 10 starters and 40 letterwinners in 2010.

UCA’sConqueaWinAwayfromMilestoneCentral Arkansas coach Clint Conque is one

victory away from tying the school record of 74 coaching victories. He is currently 73-43, trailing only UCA Sports Hall of Famer Harold Horton (74-12-5). Conque is beginning his 11th season at UCA.

LeagueFeaturesTwoNewCoachesin2010Two coaches join the Southland Conference

coaching fraternity in 2010. Nicholls named Charlie Stubbs its ninth coach in school history last January. Stubbs, a 30-year coaching veteran, moves to Thibodaux, La., for his first head coaching

position at the college level. Sam Houston State also welcomed a new coach to campus when it named Willie Fritz the school’s 14th coach last December. Fritz, a former graduate assistant (1984-85) and special teams coach (1991-92) at the school returns to Huntsville, Texas, after 13 seasons as the head coach at Central Missouri. Coincidentally, Stubbs was Fritz’s offensive coordinator at the Division II school the last two seasons. Nicholls and Sam Houston meet Oct. 9 in the conference opener for both schools.

NichollsAdjustsOffenseUnder first-year coach Charlie Stubbs, Nicholls

is moving from a triple-option style to a “Multiple-Pro” style offense that will feature more lateral, down-the-field passing. The Colonels enter the season with 10 wide receivers and five tight ends on its roster. Nicholls had four receivers and two tight ends on its roster at the end of the 2009 season. Of the 75 players on the Nicholls roster entering camp, 30 are newcomer and another eight are redshirt freshmen.

BattleofthePineyWoodsMovestoReliant“The Battle of the Piney Woods” between Sam

Houston and Stephen F. Austin will be played at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, Oct. 23. It will be the 85th football duel between the two rivals. The series is the second oldest FCS rivalry in Texas. The Battle of the Piney Woods dates back to 1923, with Sam Houston State holding a 48-34-2 edge in the series. The next four games will be played at Reliant. Next year’s game will be televised by the Southland Network.

NorthwesternDrawingInspirationfromRivalTo say second-year Northwestern State coach

Bradley Dale Peveto did not like the result of his first season in Natchitoches, La., would be an understatement. The Demons were winless in 11 games last season, just like Stehpen F. Austin was in 2007. Two years later, the Lumberjacks shared the Southland Conference championship and reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Playoffs. The schools compete annually for Chief Caddo, which at 7-feet, 6-inches and 320-pounds, is the nation’s largest football trophy. Northwestern State leads the battle for the trophy, 28-15-1.

TexasStateRidingRoadWinStreakThe Bobcats have won seven consecutive

conference road games after going 3-0 last year and 4-0 in 2008. The streak is the second longest road win streak by a current Southland Conference member. McNeese State won nine straight Southland road games from 2006-08.

SOUTHLANDCONFERENCE


Stephen F. Austin senior quarterback Jeremy Moses, senior defensive back Andre Banks and McNeese State sophomore defensive back Malcolm Bronson highlight the 2010 Southland Conference preseason all-conference football teams, which were announced Wednesday at the league’s football media day at the L’Auberge du Lac Resort in Lake Charles, La.

Moses was named the Southland’s co-player of the year in 2009, while Banks received newcomer of the year honors and Bronson took home the freshman of the year award. Nineteen of the 52 players listed in the preseason teams are returning all-conference selections from the 2009 season, including nine first-team members and 19 second-team selections.

Seven of the Southland universities had at least three student-athletes named to the two preseason all-conference teams. McNeese State led all universities with 14 selections, including a conference-best seven first-team honorees. Stephen F. Austin had 12 selections, including five first-team members. Central Arkansas and Southeastern Louisiana each had seven selections, while Texas State had five, Northwestern State had four and Nicholls had three.

McNeese State returns 15 starters from a team that recorded a share of its league-leading 13th Southland Conference title in 2009, its sixth in the past 10 years, and made its 14th appearance in the FCS playoffs. Bronson, a native of Jasper, Texas, led the Cowboys in tackles last season with 67, including 42 solo stops. His tackle total tied for the 18th-best total in the Southland, and was the second highest total among league freshmen. Bronson was the 11th player from McNeese State and the second in his family to be named freshman of the year since 1978, the first season of the award. His uncle, Zach Bronson, a former

eight-year NFL veteran with the San Francisco 49ers, was the freshman of the year for McNeese State in 1993.

McNeese State also placed two other defensive backs on the first-team, giving the Cowboys three of the five first-team selections at the position. Junior defensive back Darrell Jenkins earned first-team all-conference recognition a year ago after recording 58 tackles, a sack, two pass breakups and a forced fumble. Sophomore defensive back Seth Thomas made 28 tackles, including two tackles for loss and one sack. He led the team with three interceptions and defended seven passes while breaking up four. He also recovered a fumble. Add senior defensive lineman Desmund Lighten and the Cowboys have four starters on the first-team defense. Lighten, a first-team all-conference selection in 2009, recorded 58 tackles, including nine for losses and two sacks, forced two fumbles and recovered three.

The Cowboys had three players earn first-team preseason all-conference honors, including sophomore running back Champlain Babin and two offensive linemen, junior Miguel Gauthreaux and sophomore Jonathan Landry. McNeese State also landed seven second-team members including senior wide receiver Chris Royal, senior tight end Corday Clark, junior offensive lineman Taylor Johnson, senior defensive linemen Terrance Freeman and Josh Ellison, senior linebacker Geremy Pilate and sophomore defensive back Ford Smesny.

Stephen F. Austin enters the season in defense of last year’s championship, its third regular season title and first since 1999. The Lumberjacks boast five first-team members led by 2009 co-player of the year Jeremy Moses. Moses not only led the Southland, but led all FCS quarterbacks with 4,124 yards, 40 touchdowns and 385 completions. His 68 percent completion percentage ranked third nationally and his 145.13 passing efficiency mark ranked 14th among FCS quarterbacks a year ago. A native of Baytown, Texas, Moses has thrown for 300 or more yards 17 times in his career, including seven times last season.

SFA returns the bulk of its defensive strength with four first-team selections led by senior linebacker Jabara Williams. A returning first-team all-conference selection, Williams, a native of Garrison, Texas, was one of only three players in the Southland with more than 100 tackles in 2009 and ranked third in the league with 113 tackles. Joining Williams on the first-team defense are senior defensive linemen Kenneth Charles and Sean Warren. Sophomore Gralyn Crawford was selected as return specialist on the first-team defense and also earned second-team honors at the fullback/halfback position.

The Lumberjacks had seven second-team selections. On defense, Banks, a native of Austin, Texas, and the 2009 newcomer of the year, had 63 tackles, two interceptions, six pass breakups and a forced fumble last season. Junior linebacker Devin Ducote led the Southland in

2010PRESEASONALL-CONFERENCETEAMStackles with 137 in 2009 and tied for second among all FCS defenders. Offensively, sophomore Romante Hampton joined Crawford to compose the offensive backfield taking the running back and halfback positions, respectively. Sophomore George Bias was named to the offensive line and junior Drew Nelson was named as the placekicker and as the second-team punter.

Central Arkansas led all schools with five first-team selections on offense. In the backfield, the Bears took two of the three positions with the selection of senior Rico Moss and sophomore Jackie Hinton at halfback and running back, respectively. Senior Willie Landers was picked at wide receiver, senior Austin Emerson was selected to the offensive line and senior Eddie Carmona received an automatic selection as the placekicker after receiving first-team all-conference honors in 2009. On the first-team defense, senior Markell Carter was named to the defensive line and was one of four players in the Southland with at least 10 sacks in 2009. On the second-team, senior Henry Minor was selected at defensive back.

Southeastern Louisiana boasts seven members on the preseason teams, two of which are returning first-team all-conference selections from 2009 garnering automatic honors – seniors Mark Newbill at linebacker and Re’Keem Wilson at defensive back. A native of Monroe, La., Newbill ranked second in the Southland with 110 tackles with 9.5 for loss. Wilson, a Franklinton, La., native, led the conference in passes defended (11), interceptions (4) and had 48 tackles in 2009. Senior Tommy Connors, who received a medical redshirt after playing just two games last year, was named at defensive back giving Southeastern three starters on the first-team defense. A second-team All-American in 2008, he has 257 career tackles, including 189 solo stops.

SEASON OUTLOOKAfter.posting.its.first.winning.season.since.2004.and.contending.for.the.Southland.Conference.

title.for.much.of.the.season,.Southeastern.Louisiana.is.poised.to.take.its.next.step.in.its.historic.return.to.the.gridiron..With.a.roster.that.has.strong.veteran.leadership.and.balance.between.its.classes,.Southeastern.enters.the.2010.season.with.a.solid.nucleus.consisting.of.51.returning.letterwinners.and.19.returning.starters.With.a.staff.that.had.mostly.been.together.since.2005,.the.Lions.have.been.able.to.gradually.

build.their.program.behind.a.wide-open.and.unpredictable.offense.and.a.swarming.defense..But.despite.having.a.new.offensive.coordinator.(Allen.Rudolph).for.the.first.time.in.four.years,.there.will.not.be.any.noticeable.changes.when.the.Lions.have.the.ball.“Knowing.the.importance.of.not.changing.the.system.or.the.terminology.because.we.have.to.much.

experience.coming.back,”.Lucas.said..“Now,.it’s.just.plugging.in.the.pieces.with.a.different.coach.calling.the.plays..Everything.has.remained.the.same.and.that.was.very.evident.in.spring.practice..Our.kids.didn’t.miss.a.step.and.picked.up.right.where.we.left.off.”Probably.the.biggest.change.for.the.Lions.will.be.at.quarterback.as.returning.letterwinner.Tyler.

Beatty.and.third-year.sophomore.B.J..Young.will.vie.to.replace.Brian.Babin,.who.threw.for.over.7,400.yards.and.62.touchdowns.in.three.years..Beatty,.who.transferred.from.Baylor.prior.to.the.2008.season,.enters.his.senior.year.with.the.most.experience.on.the.roster.while.Young,.a.promising.third-year.player,.will.make.a.strong.push.at.becoming.the.Lions’.next.signal-caller.“Both.Tyler.and.B.J..are.much.more.athletic.and.do.more.things.as.far.as.using.their.feet,”.Lucas.

said..“Their.mobility.will.allow.us.to.do.some.different.things.offensively.with.our.play.installation.Whoever.will.be.taking.the.snaps.at.quarterback.in.2010.will.have.a.stable.of.skill.players.to.

work.with,.highlighted.by.wide.receiver.and.All-America.candidate.Simmie.Yarborough..Returning.letterwinners.Andre.Cryer,.Kory.Theodore.and.Greg.Johnson.will.help.solidify.a.strong.receiving.corp.for.the.Lions.while.the.sophomore.tandem.of.Zeke.Jones.and.Sam.Fairley.will.give.Southeastern.a.strong.running.game.An.experienced.offensive.line.that.returns.five.

starters,.and.is.paced.by.fifth-year.senior.Kevin.Hughes,.will. look. to.give.Southeastern.a.more.physical.presence.as.it.competes.in.one.of.the.most.balanced.leagues.in.the.FCS.With.the.return.of.11.starters.and.experience.

at.each.position.on.defense,.Southeastern.will.field.its.deepest.overall.unit.since.reinstating.its.program.in.2003..Senior.linebacker.Mark.Newbill.(110.tackles).and.senior.defensive.back.Re’Keem.Wilson.(four.interceptions).both.return.after.each.claimed.first-team.all-conference.honors.in.2009..Also.returning.for.the.Lions.is.2008.All-American.Tommy.Connors,.who.earned.a.medical.hardship.after.suffering.a.season-ending.injury.in.South-eastern’s.third.game.of.the.year.Returning.letterwinners.Ryan.Godare,.Nathan.

Clophus,.Devan.Walker.and.Avery.Crooks.are.key.players.along.the.front.seven.for.the.Lions.while.Robert.Alford,.Curtis.Strong.and.Clint.Coleman.will.be.key.players.in.the.secondary.

STEPHEN F. AUSTIN, McNEESE STATE SHARE TITLEStephen F. Austin and McNeese State each finished 6-1 in Southland Conference play to share

the 2009 conference championship. SFA won its third conference title and first since 1999, while McNeese won its 13th conference championship and its sixth since 2000. The shared titles marked the first time since 2005 the league split its championship.

After opening the season with a loss at SMU in the closing minutes of the game, the Lumberjacks won their next six games, including their first three in conference play before suffering their only league defeat at Texas State. SFA won its last three games, including a 19-10 victory at Northwestern State in the regular-season finale. That win, combined with the team’s win at McNeese State to open conference play, solidified the comeback from an 0-11 season just two years earlier and clinched the Southland’s automatic berth into the NCAA playoffs.

McNeese State began its season with three consecutive wins before dropping consecutive road games at Tulane and Stephen F. Austin, but the Cowboys regrouped and won their final six games of the regular season, including a 21-17 win over Central Arkansas in the season finale, to earn an share of the conference title. The Cowboys earned an at-large bid into the FCS playoffs.

Stephen F. Austin’s appearance in the playoffs was its first since making a run to the national semifinals in 1995. The Lumberjacks opened the 2009 playoffs with a 44-33 home victory over Eastern Washington, but it’s magical season ended in the quarterfinals in a 51-0 loss at Montana, a team that reached championship game for the second consecutive season. McNeese State also earned a home playoff game, giving the league two home games to start the playoffs for the first time since 2001. The Cowboys, however, dropped a 49-13 decision to New Hampshire, which went on to lose in the quarterfinals at Villanova, which defeated Montana to win the national championship.

Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State accounted for 24 of the 52 spots on the all-conference teams. SFA led all teams with 14 selections while 10 Cowboys earned a spots on the teams. The quarterbacks of each team shared player of the year honors, while Lumberjack defensive end Tim Knicky, a Walter Camp All-American and FCS Academic All-Star, was the co-defensive player of the year. McNeese freshman Malcolm Bronson was the freshman of the year while SFA’s Andre Banks was the conference’s top newcomer. Lumberjack coach J.C. Harper was the coach of the year and finished second in balloting for the national Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.

HARPER FINISHES SECOND FOR ROBINSON AWARD

In what will go down as one of the closest bal-lots in award history, Stephen F. Austin coach J.C. Harper finished second to Prairie View A&M’s Henry Frazier III for the Eddie Robinson Award, given annually to the nation’s top coach in the Football Championship Subdivision. Harper fin-ished second to Frazier by a total of two points.

“It’s truly an honor just to be considered for the award,” Harper said. “I’m blessed to be sur-rounded by great people. I have a great staff that works very hard to make sure that SFA is the best it can be. Our senior leadership was tremendous this year. This program is surrounded by an administrative staff led by our university president Dr. Baker Pattillo and director of athlet-ics Robert Hill, who are all committed to winning. I could not be considered for the award without all of these factors.”

After an 0-11 campaign during his first season as head coach in 2007, Harper began the process of building the Lumberjack program. In just two short seasons, Harper took SFA from worst to first winning the Southland Conference title, and putting the program in the FCS playoffs for the first time since the 1995 season.

SFA finished the year with a 10-3 overall record and advanced to the quarterfinals of the playoffs. It was only the fourth time in school history that SFA has reached double-figure wins in a season, and the first time since 1995. Fol-lowing the season SFA placed 20 athletes on the 2009 All-Southland Conference teams, including the Southland Co-Player, Co-Defensive Player, and Newcomer of the Year awards. Harper also became the second coach in school history to be named Southland Coach of the Year.
