The EKU campus is one of the most scenic college campuses in the nation and it features several striking features. From the James E. van Peursem Music Pavilion and the Ravine, to the Chapel of Meditation and the Keen Johnson Building, EKU features some of the most diverse and attractive locales on any college campus anywhere. However strong Eastern Kentucky University’s reputation is for its visual aesthetics, the real character of the University can be found in its students, faculty and staﬀ, and outstanding academic programs. EKU oﬀers more than 160 degree programs and features an excellent 17-1 student-to-faculty ratio. The University serves more than 16,200 students, which represent almost all 120 counties in Kentucky, all 50 states and over 60 countries worldwide. The University, which celebrated its centennial in the spring of 2006, had humble beginnings. EKU’s origins can be traced back to a conflict between the northern and southern branches of Kentucky’s Presbyterian Church. A group of alumni and supporters from the Southern branch lost control of Centre College in Danville and set out to start their own institution of higher learning. From that conflict, Central College was chartered in 1873 and the school opened in September of 1874. Financial problems led to Central College’s consolidation into Centre College in 1901, but Richmond’s place in higher education did not move with Central College. Walters Collegiate Institute offered a preparatory curriculum for college-bound men and served as a transitional institution between Central College and what would become Eastern Kentucky University. In 1906, the Kentucky General Assembly approved a bill that would establish two normal schools in the eastern and western parts of the state in order to prepare teachers to enter the classroom. The eastern school, which was located in Richmond, was called the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, later evolving into the regional institution now known as Eastern Kentucky University. Modern-day EKU now encompasses three branch campuses in Corbin, Danville and Manchester. The University also boasts one of the state’s strongest distance learning programs, giving students from around the world an opportunity to receive an EKU education. EKU is also home to the College of Justice and Safety, which educates students from around the world. As EKU’s Program of Distinction, the College of Justice and Safety is involved in numerous worldwide research projects. It also educates a vast majority of the law enforcement oﬃcers in the Commonwealth. The University also boosts 17 championship sports at the NCAA’s Division I level, competing in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Colonels’ history includes several national championships, conference titles and NCAA Tournament appearances. However, the best is yet to come as the school’s athletic department is committed to ensuring that EKU student-athletes are given the necessary resources to continue to compete at a national level. All told, Eastern Kentucky University provides a safe and attractive environment in which its students can learn and become productive members of society. The lessons learned at EKU will follow students for a lifetime and the performance of its graduates will, in turn, continue to enhance the already strong regional and national reputation of the University. EKUSports.com 4 �COLONELS City of Richmond Richmond is home to many interesting and convenient activities. Whether it’s arts and entertainment, recreation, or shopping and dining out you are looking for, Richmond has it all. With more than 100 buildings in Richmond on the National Register of Historic Places and three areas on the National Register of Historic Districts, it is one of Kentucky’s finest restored 19th Century commercial districts. Arts and entertainment take center-stage with the Eastern Kentucky University theatre program. They oﬀer several shows each year from classical theatre to modern musicals. Local artistic talents are on display year round at Gallery On Main. This is a perfect showcasing of local talent and an opportunity for community involvement. There is never any lack of recreational activities in Richmond. An array of parks and recreational centers across the city oﬀers something for everyone. Lake Reba Recreational complex includes golf, little league baseball and softball fields, soccer, fishing and a water park which opened in the summer of 2008. If it’s shopping you want, downtown Richmond can accommodate you. Locally owned businesses line the historic streets of downtown Richmond with everything from fine antiquities to exquisite jewelry. There is a wide variety of stores at the brand new Richmond Centre as well. The outdoor mall oﬀers shoppers convenience and style. Dining isn’t hard to find either. Family-owned and major chain restaurants give Richmond a unique variety of menus. Local hot spots include Madison Gardens, which is uniquely Richmond, to restaurants such as Applebee’s, Logan’s Roadhouse, O’Charley’s and Outback Steakhouse. Whatever your pallet craves, Richmond dining oﬀers a variety of tastes made to satisfy. Never far from mainstream, Richmond oﬀers the comforts of simplicity with the convenience of the city. Only 29 miles from Lexington and the Bluegrass Airport, Richmond is easily accessible to all travelers. Interstate 75 is a major artery of both state and national motor transportation. Richmond’s location on I-75 makes it an important factor in making the city a commercial hub. In fact, the ease of travel to and from Richmond makes the city an ideal spot for those who enjoy outdoor activities. Fort Boonesborough State Park is located only 12 miles from EKU’s campus, while Natural Bridge State Park (63 miles) and Cumberland Falls State Park (100 miles) are located nearby. Also within easy driving distance of Richmond are the Kentucky Horse Park, the state capital in Frankfort, Herrington Lake, My Old Kentucky Home at Bardstown, White Hall State Shrine and thoroughbred horse racing at Keeneland. A Brief Richmond History Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature authorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a fight to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the new site. Although history does not record the results of the brawl, the county approved the move in March of 1798 and two acres of land were purchased from Colonel Miller. Court was held in his barn. On July 4, 1798, the site was oﬃcially named Richmond in honor of Miller’s birthplace, Richmond, Va. --From www.richmond.ky.us 5 EKUSports.com �eku Alpha Roster No. 79 79 59 77 70 27 44 37 23 65 38 78 46 14 61 67 43 18 7 98 51 11 36 88 24 73 52 69 63 48 5 20 4 93 91 8 3 87 17 31 9 97 39 58 45 85 42 95 72 71 82 Name Pos.

In each of his previous two years as head coach, Dean Hood and the Colonels have had the opportunity to play for the conference crown in the regular-season finale. EKU successfully won the 2008 OVC title with a thrilling 33-31 decision at UT Martin. However, the Colonels came up just short last fall at Jacksonville Ohio Valley Conference Titles State as the Gamecocks No. Last pulled out a 34-26 win. 1. Eastern Kentucky 20 2008 “We’d like to get 2. Tennessee Tech 9 1975 back to where we are 3. Murray State 8 2002 winning champion4. Eastern Illinois 5 2009 ships every year, or 5. Jacksonville State 2 2004 every other year, or Tennessee State 2 1999 two out of every three 1 1977 years, and be success- 7. Austin Peay UT Martin 1 2006 ful in the playoﬀs,” 9. Southeast Missouri 0 – Hood said. “[The players] came up with *current members only their own team goals for this year and one of the things they said we need to do is play passionate, hard-nosed football. I think we need to be a tougher group than we were a year ago and I think the players realize that.” Eastern is particularly loaded on defense with eight of the 11 starters from 2009 back on the roster, including All-OVC performers Andrew Soucy (defensive tackle), Jordan Dalrymple (linebacker) and Jeremy Caldwell (defensive back). Under Hood, the Colonel defense has been known for forcing turnovers, but was held without a turnover in the final three games of 2009. “We weren’t lucky,” Hood said. “Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. We need to prepare better so when those opportunities do present themselves, we make the play.” On oﬀense, the EKU passing game has the chance to be as explosive as it has ever been. The 2009 OVC Freshman of the Year, quarterback T.J. Pryor, has plenty of targets to work with on the perimeter including senior Shannon Davis, sophomore Orlandus Harris and senior Evan Cromer. A new addition, 6-7 tight end transfer Matt Lengel, will give the Colonels something they were missing last year – a safety valve receiver in the middle of the field. Heading into preseason camp, Coach Hood is most excited about having both the oﬀensive and defensive signal callers returning. “This is the first time since I’ve been here that we’ve had both [our quarterback and safeties] back,” Hood said. “You can do all the preparing you want, but when the ball is kicked oﬀ, it’s on those players to get the rest of the team lined up and doing the right things.” completing 19-of-30 passes for 293 yards and two scores in the 3631 win. Pryor went on to become just the sixth Colonel to throw for 2,000 yards in a season (2,153) on the way to finishing third in the OVC in passing yards per game (195.7) and total oﬀense (220.2). Not only can Pryor pass the ball, but he is a threat to run. In nine of the 11 games last season, Pryor tallied at least one rush of 10 yards or more. Backing up Pryor will be redshirt freshman Brendon Gregory. The native of Erlanger, Ky., proved this spring that he could lead the team if need be. Gregory threw for more than 1,300 yards as a junior at Lloyd Memorial High School before injuring his knee as a senior. Two incoming freshmen – Jacob Russell and Alex Conley – will redshirt this year, but are excellent prospects for the future. Running Backs There is a big hole to fill at running back this year. The team’s leading rusher in 2009, C.J. Walker, graduated last December leaving the starting position up for grabs among three or even four players. Junior H.B. Banjoman came out of the spring as the most likely candidate to take over the starting position. Banjoman played in all 11 games as a sophomore while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Against Kentucky on Nov. 7, Banjoman totaled nine carries for 35 yards and a touchdown. In the spring game, Banjoman led all running backs with 65 yards on eight carries. “Banjoman is a big, physical back who can get tough yards for the oﬀense,” Hood said. Senior Aaron Bradley could also be in the mix for playing time. However, Bradley is a question mark as he is still dealing with a knee injury that he suﬀered in the 2009 spring game. Another player to keep an eye on is junior Kyle Lumpkin, a transfer from the Air Force Academy. Lumpkin ran for 452 yards for Air Force in 2008. Newcomers Patryk Bielawski and Chaz Hope will most likely fill the fullback role in short-yardage situations. Wide Receivers Eastern Kentucky’s wide receiver position is filled with plenty of big-play potential. Seniors Shannon Davis and Evan Cromer along with sophomore Orlandus Harris are all capable of piling up 100-plus yards receiving in a game. Quarterbacks One year ago, the biggest story line heading into preseason camp was the battle at the quarterback position. There is no such debate this fall as sophomore T.J. Pryor is the clear cut quarterback for the foreseeable future. “The best thing about freshmen is that they turn into sophomores,” Hood said. “It wasn’t our intent to play him as much as we did last year, but he was the right guy for the job. We’re excited to see what he’s going to do as a sophomore.” Pryor was utilized in a back-up role to start the 2009 campaign, but was thrust into the starter’s spot in game four at nationallyranked Eastern Illinois. The Louisville, Ky., native responded by Quarterback T.J. Pryor was the OVC Freshman of the Year one season ago. 9 EKUSports.com �eku Season Outlook Kentucky. Enabosi replaced Miller in the line-up, but at the guard spot. However, Enabosi’s natural position is center and he is the frontrunner to earn the spot heading into preseason camp. The two Eastern Arizona junior college transfers – Joe Arnason and Bo Faauaa – will provide quality depth at the guard and tackle positions. Another addition to the line in 2010 will be 6-7 tight end Matt Lengel. The transfer from Northeastern gives the oﬀense a dimension it was lacking following the departure of Stephen Sizemore, who recorded a team-high 48 receptions in 2008. Davis is the deep-play threat and averaged 19.1 yards per reception as a junior. Harris, the team’s top returning wide out, has a world of potential. The sophomore finished with 432 receiving yards last year including 97 yards against Kentucky on Nov. 7. Cromer is a dependable, possession receiver who knows the position and runs excellent routes. Meanwhile, senior Ronnie Letcher, a Western Kentucky transfer, and junior Chris Moore, a converted linebacker, give the receivers a few new faces. “Ronnie [and Chris] give us some physicality at the position,” Hood said. “It seemed like we were missing that last year which hurt our screen game.” Redshirt freshman Justin Williams and sophomore Trey Fairchild should also see playing time at the position. Williams impressed the coaching staﬀ with his play-making abilities on the practice field throughout his redshirt season. Fairchild has battled injuries since his arrival to EKU last year, but when healthy can give the Colonels another solid possession receiver. Defensive Linemen Senior all-conference performer Andrew Soucy heads up the Colonel defensive line. Fellow senior Yameen Thomas and junior Emory Attig are two other starters returning in 2010. “Soucy and Attig are going to be the work-horse guys inside,” Hood said. “We’ve got three young guys – Robert Knowles, David Carter and Devin Gainer – that we also feel good about. One of those guys will have to step up to be the guy in the rotation with Soucy and Attig to give those guys a break.” Soucy led the team and ranked fifth in the OVC with 9.5 tackles for loss as a junior. He had a career game against UT Martin on Oct. 17 with eight tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a blocked PAT. Attig chipped in with 3.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss in 2009. Thomas will be in his second season as a starting defensive end. Joining Thomas on the outside should be sophomore Jasper Williams. Two redshirt freshmen – Anthony Brown and Shawn Shupperd – impressed the coaching staﬀ during the spring and could be valuable contributors this season. Shupperd had an impressive spring game as he posted two sacks. One other addition to the defensive line unit is sophomore Patrick Henry who is transitioning from the oﬀensive line. Henry is set to compete at defensive end. Offensive Linemen There will be a whole new look to the oﬀensive line in 2010 as senior guard Chris Krack is the only starter returning to the unit. The coaching staﬀ was able to address this issue during the recruiting period by adding two former Hofstra linemen and two junior college transfers. “I actually think this could be an area of strength for us and we might even be better than last year on the oﬀensive line,” Hood said. One of the Hofstra transfers, junior Derek Moore, started 23 games in his career for the Pride while earning 2009 All-CAA third team honors. Moore is expected to start at one of the tackle positions. Sophomore Patrick Ford, a hometown product from Richmond and son of former Colonel Gary Ford, is slated to start at the other tackle spot. Ford saw time on the oﬀensive line in 2009. Besides Krack, the other guard position looks to be filled by the other Hofstra transfer, Kevin Brown. The center position will be contested between two returnees – sophomore O.J. Enabosi and junior Josh Miller. Miller started eight games at center one year ago before injuring his knee against Linebackers Seniors Jordan Dalrymple and Antonio Fredrick return to their familiar places of inside linebackers in 2010. “We’ll be better at linebacker than we have been since I’ve been here,” Hood said. Dalrymple, a 2009 All-OVC pick, led the squad and ranked seventh in the OVC with 85 tackles one season ago. A consistent player, Dalrymple totaled at least five tackles in every game as a junior. Fredrick had to sit out the spring season with an injured shoulder, but the hard hitter should be ready to go for preseason camp. A pair of new faces will serve as back-ups at the inside positions. “We also have two redshirt freshmen who I absolutely love – Zavier Foster and Ichiro Chiba,” Hood said. “Both of those players have motors that don’t stop running.” One other face to watch out for is redshirt freshman Tyler Horn. He is a swing player who could play inside or outside linebacker. Making the move from inside backer to the strong side will be junior Tyson Patrick. That move has made the defense much stronger according to Coach Hood. Hood compares the play of Patrick to former Colonel outside linebacker TyJuan Jones. Patrick led all players with eight tackles, including one sack, in the spring game. Sophomore Nick Vicini, who saw action in all 11 games last year, is slated to serve as Patrick’s back-up. Andrew Soucy blocked a kick attempt in five straight games as a junior. EKUSports.com 10 �COLONELS Season Outlook Defensive Backs Coach Hood tends to have a personal connection with the defensive backs unit because he himself played the position in college and then climbed the coaching ranks as a secondary coach. The EKU defense relies on the safeties to call the coverage and schemes for the entire unit. Luckily for the Colonels, both starting safeties from 2009 are back for another season together. Senior Robert Dees and junior Patrick McClellan were two of the steadiest defenders last year. Dees finished with 61 tackles and three pass break-ups. Meanwhile, McClellan chipped in with 64 tackles and three interceptions. Sophomore Brooklyn Fox will be used in the safety rotation this fall, allowing Dees and McClellan a chance to catch their breath. “Brooklyn probably had the best spring of anyone on our whole football team,” Hood said. “With the emergence of Brooklyn at safety, that has allowed us to be comfortable moving Marcus Williams back over to his natural position [of corner back].” Williams will be joined on the outside by all-league performer, junior Jeremy Caldwell. Caldwell tied for fourth in FCS football last year with seven interceptions. He made an immediate impact in the season opener with two interceptions against Indiana. He then sealed the win over Eastern Illinois with a fourth-quarter interception returned for a touchdown. One other player likely to see plenty of quality playing time at corner back will be senior Jaren Gooden. Gooden has started 15 games in his Colonel career while registering four pass break-ups as a junior. Defensive back Jeremy Caldwell was named to the initial Buck Buchanan Award watch list earlier this summer. The Schedule The beginning of the 2010 schedule could be one of the most challenging in recent EKU history. The Colonels open the year with three straight tough road games at Missouri State (Sept. 2), at Louisville (Sept. 11) and at Chattanooga (Sept. 18). This will be the third straight year the Colonels kick oﬀ the season on a Thursday night. “I don’t think it matters that those games are on the road, but it matters who we are playing,” Hood said. “I like the fact that we are playing FCS teams from other conferences that will be fighting for playoﬀ positions, especially with the playoﬀs expanding [to 20 teams] this year. It’s frosting on the cake to play a regional BCS team such as Louisville.” Eastern concludes its non-conference schedule at home on Oct. 2 against Kentucky State. This will be EKU’s latest date for a home opener since 1964. The following week, the Colonels begin OVC action at home against defending league champion Eastern Illinois (Oct. 9). EKU was the only OVC team to defeat the Panthers one year ago. Following two straight road games at UT Martin (Oct. 16) and Southeast Missouri (Oct. 23), Eastern Kentucky returns to Roy Kidd Stadium for three of its last four games. Homecoming is set for Oct. 30 versus traditional rival Murray State (Oct. 30). The Colonels have won eight of the last nine meetings against the Racers with the lone setback coming in the 2004 Homecoming game. On Nov. 6, Eastern hosts Jacksonville State. Since the Gamecocks joined the league in 2003, EKU (44) and JSU (42) have tallied the most victories against OVC opponents. Finally, the Colonels wrap up the regular season at Tennessee Tech (Nov. 13) and back home against Austin Peay (Nov. 20). Eastern Kentucky does not play OVC foe Tennessee State this fall. The NCAA Division I FCS playoﬀs, which expand from 16 to 20 teams this year, begin on Nov. 27 with four first-round games. There are now 10 conferences that earn automatic bids to the playoﬀs: Big Sky, Big South, Colonial, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern and Southland. The FCS championship game is slated for Jan. 7, 2011 in Frisco, Texas. “I think we need to be a tougher group than we were a year ago and I think the players realize that.” – Dean Hood, EKU head coach – Special Teams The coaching staﬀ is hopeful that senior Logan O’Connor, who handled the punting and various kicking duties the previous two years, will be used only as the placekicker this season. O’Connor struggled at times kicking last fall, but finished strong thanks to making both field goal attempts in the season finale at Jacksonville State. Coach Hood is hopeful that redshirt freshman Jordan Berry, a native of Australia, can help the team in the punter’s role. “[Berry] improved as the spring went along,” Hood said. “He has a powerful leg, but he needs to be more consistent on his punts.” EKU will be searching for a new long snapper in 2010 following the departure of three-year starter Jacob Claycomb. Junior Emory Attig and freshman Chaz Hope spent time long snapping in the spring. Senior Chris Krack has been used as the short snapper before and could be called on to fill that role again. Another option at long snapper could be true freshman Danny Adams. Adams was rated the number one long snapper in the nation last year by www.prokicker.com. The most likely candidates to return kick-oﬀs will be junior Jeremy Caldwell and sophomore Orlandus Harris. Caldwell will probably be utilized as the primary punt returner for the second consecutive season as well. 11 EKUSports.com �eku Returning Colonels #79 • Offensive Lineman • 6-5 • 280 • So. #70 • Defensive Lineman • 6-2 • 294 • Jr. Aaron Adams Emory Attig Lake Worth, Fla.

In 1963, Eastern Kentucky University President Robert Martin was at a loss as to how he could create a physical “Maroon” to excite the audience. A man of vision and intelligence, Martin began searching for a mascot that would embody the glorious Bluegrass State. He found it in the honorable Kentucky Colonel. The military title of “Colonel” had begun being used as an honorary title in the state by the late 1800s and by 1931 the nowfamous Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels had been formed. The finger-lickin’ Colonel Harlan D. Sanders himself was inducted in 1935. Like Minutemen of Massachusetts and Sooners of Oklahoma, the Kentucky breed of Colonel was a unique symbol of the state and so Martin selected it to accompany the school color as Eastern’s mascot. Further cementing the connection with Eastern was the fact that Centre College’s mascot was already the Colonel and a faction of that school had occupied the Richmond campus before Eastern’s founding.

That list includes four NFL draft picks – Calvin Pace, Montique Sharpe, Eric King and Josh Gattis. Hood entered the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant at Fairmont (W.Va.) State College, where he worked with the defensive backs during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. The 1988 team won the WVIAC championship and led the nation with 31 interceptions. Hood then spent the 1989 campaign at Colgate University. From 1990-93, Hood coached at Glenville (W.Va.) State College, the last three of which he served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. In 1993, Glenville finished 10-3 and advanced to the NAIA Division I championship game. Also that year, Hood’s defense led the nation in scoring defense (9.2 ppg), passing defense (118.0 ypg), and total defense (223.0 ypg). Hood moved to Ohio University for two years (1999-2000) where he met current Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe. At Ohio, Hood was in charge of the defensive backs. That unit recorded 17 interceptions in 1999, the most in more than a decade. The following year, Ohio ranked 20th nationally in scoring defense (18.9 points per game) as the Bobcat defense was one of only five units in Division I-A that did not allow more than 30 points in a game throughout the entire season. This is Hood’s first head coaching position and he is just the third EKU head football coach in the last 44 years. “Knowing first-hand what Coach Kidd built here, this is one of the best jobs in the country,” Hood said. “I remember when I was here the first time thinking how many guys in the history of athletics are still coaching in a facility named after them. That is rare. It is exciting to be at the helm of this program.” “Dean is a tremendous role model for our student-athletes,” Sandy said. “He has worked with two of the best people who have ever served as mentors for young men – Roy Kidd and Jim Grobe. I am sure our current players, recruits, and fans will be impressed.” Head Coach • 3rd Year at EKU (13-10) Dean Hood Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan, 1986  2008 OVC Coach of the Year  2008 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist The expectations for the Eastern Kentucky University football team always seem to be high and in 2008, first year head coach Dean Hood delivered as the Colonels claimed their 20th Ohio Valley Conference title. Now in his third year at Eastern, Hood and the rest of the Colonels hope the fall of 2010 ends with another trip to the NCAA FCS playoﬀs. “It doesn’t matter if you are coaching a game in Death Valley versus Clemson or here versus Morehead State,” Hood said. “It’s all the same. The kids are starting to understand that point and the culture we are trying to create at EKU. They can’t play to the best of their athletic ability until they know exactly where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to do on the field.” Hood, 46, took over EKU program in January 2008 after working at Wake Forest University for seven seasons. Under Hood’s direction, the Wake Forest defense was known for creating turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons forced 186 turnovers from 2001-07, more than two per game. In 2007, Wake Forest led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 35 turnovers forced on its way to going 9-4 and capturing the Meineke Car Care Bowl. “Dean Hood is a wonderful blend of several characteristics we were looking for in a head coach,” EKU Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “He’s a great teacher, excellent recruiter, a person of high character, and someone who has been part of the EKU football heritage.” From 1994-98, Hood spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky under College Football Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd. He served all five years as the secondary coach and the last two seasons as the defensive coordinator. In Hood’s first stint at EKU, the Colonels captured two Ohio Valley Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Division I FCS playoﬀs three times. “This was a big deal for me,” Eastern Kentucky University President Dr. Doug Whitlock said. “I have been an Eastern football fan for almost 50 years; so I wanted us to find someone who would fit in with the community, had the kind of values that our football program has traditionally been built upon, and hopefully had been a part of the EKU football tradition. And, yes, we wanted someone who has been and will be a winner. Dean Hood fills all those particulars.” At Wake Forest, Hood and the rest of the Demon Deacons broke every program record imaginable in 2006 and set many other milestones. WFU won the ACC title for the first time since 1970 by shattering the program record with 11 victories. The Demon Deacons earned a berth in a BCS bowl game, taking on Louisville in the FedEx Orange Bowl. Much of the credit for Wake Forest’s 2006 league championship fell to the defense. The Demon Deacons allowed just 15.4 ppg to rank second in the ACC and 21st nationally. Against the run, Wake yielded just 105.8 yards per game to rank 21st nationally, the third lowest total in Wake Forest history. Against the pass, the Demon Deacons recorded 22 interceptions, second most in the nation. EKUSports.com Hood’s Coaching Experience Year School 1987-88 Fairmont (W.Va.)

This is a chance to implement those thoughts.” Hood is married to the former Crystal Ramsey of Richmond, Ky.

Dean is totally unselfish and his whole concern is with the well-being of the players. He has the ability to get kids to be real good football players on the field and also to be great citizens oﬀ the field. We’ll miss Dean, but I couldn’t be happier for him.” --Jim Grobe, Head Coach, Wake Forest University “It was an honor to play for Coach Hood. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is an unbelievable coach and a great person. As someone who played for him and who is now a coach, I can tell you how much he cares for and takes care of his players both on and oﬀ the field.

He spent three years building the program at Kentucky Christian which culminated with the school’s first-ever varsity football season in 2008. “When you are a head coach at the collegiate or high school level, you have to know how to coach a little bit of everything,” Hood said. “Dane has an extensive football background and we’re excited to have him as a part of our staﬀ.” Damron began his collegiate coaching career at Eastern Kentucky in 1995. He served two years as a graduate assistant and wide receivers coach under Roy Kidd. Damron earned his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in 1996. Following a coaching stint at Morehead State, Damron moved to the high school ranks where he coached for nine years. From 2002-05, he was the head coach of Boyd County where he helped the Lions advance to the second round of the KHSAA playoﬀs three straight years.

Damron and his wife Delisha have two children – Hanna (10) and Derek (6). Garry Fisher joined the EKU coaching staﬀ one year ago. He will serve as the linebackers coach in 2010. Fisher, a native of Columbus, Ohio, spent the 2008 season as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Kentucky State. “We’re certainly very excited to have Garry on staﬀ,” Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood said. “He came highly recommended and with his extensive defensive background, especially at the linebacker position, this seemed like the perfect fit for us.” Fisher was a four-year letterwinner at Bowling Green (1998-01) as an outside linebacker before transitioning into the Falcons coaching ranks in 2002. After serving two years as a defensive assistant at BGSU, Fisher moved to Utah where he served as an oﬀensive assistant for the 2004 Mountain West Conference and 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions. At both of his first two coaching jobs, Fisher served under current Florida head coach Urban Meyer.

The secondary should be one of the stronger EKU defensive units in 2010 as three of four starters from 2009 return including all-conference corner back Jeremy Caldwell. The Colonels finished second in the OVC with 14 interceptions last fall. “Tony is a tireless worker who pays attention to detail and coaches with a lot of energy and passion,” head coach Dean Hood said. “We are excited about him being a part of our staﬀ.” Hatmaker’s résumé includes more than 10 years of collegiate coaching experience. From 2005-06, he served as the assistant head football coach at Southeastern Louisiana. Hatmaker coached the linebackers, oﬀensive line, snappers, punter and kickers as well as served as the NFL liaison in his two years with the Lions. Two of the three starting linebackers came away with all-conference honors in 2005. Hatmaker also spent six years on the staﬀ at Southwest Baptist (Mo.) University. He was the defensive coordinator for five of those seasons and helped the Bearcats earn their first winning record in 10 seasons in 2001. Southwest Baptist then recorded a program-record 18 interceptions in 2002. While at Southwest Baptist, Hatmaker logged three seasons (1999-01) as the head softball coach as well. The Kentucky native began his coaching career in 1992 at Union (Ky.) College after playing four years as an outside linebacker for the Bulldogs. Hatmaker was a four-year starter at Union and twice earned all-district honors. In addition to playing football, he was the starting catcher for the baseball team and helped the Bulldogs win their first championship since 1976. Hatmaker and his wife, Laura, have two sons – Abe (3) and Tyler (1). Ben Hodges is in his fifth year on the Colonel coaching staﬀ and third year coaching the wide receivers. “We felt like Ben was the best available person around to coach our wide receivers and he hasn’t done anything at all to disappoint,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He studies the game and wants to be a good football coach. I think he has a very bright future in the business.” Hodges will have the luxury of working with one of the deepest units on the team this fall. Veterans Ryan Aldrin, Evan Cromer and Shannon Davis bring plenty of experience to the outside. Sophomore Orlandus Harris burst onto the scene last year to post 31 receptions, third most on the team. Meanwhile, redshirt freshman Justin Williams could prove to be another young impact player in 2010. In his first two years on staﬀ as an oﬀensive assistant, Hodges worked with the tight ends and also served as the video coordinator. Hodges came to the Colonels from Central College in Iowa where he served as a student assistant for four seasons. While at Central, he helped the Dutch capture two Iowa Conference championships. In 2005, Central went 9-1 in the regular season to advance to the NCAA Division III playoﬀs. Hodges spent much of his time at Central breaking down opponent film and putting together scouting reports. He was the scout team coordinator while assisting with the linebackers for three years and the oﬀensive line for a season. A 2006 summa cum laude graduate of Central College, Hodges earned his bachelor of arts degree in economics. He completed his master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in December 2007.

The EKU oﬀensive line will have an entirely new look in 2010 as Jeﬀers will have to replace three starters from the 2009 line-up. “Carson came very highly recommended by a variety of people who have seen him coach several positions,” Eastern head football coach Dean Hood said. “He has been on both sides of the ball as well as special teams. Carson is a great addition to our staﬀ.” Jeﬀers has worked at five colleges throughout the South before arriving at EKU. For three years, Jeﬀers served on the coaching staﬀ at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss. The 2006 Wolfpack captured the Mississippi Junior College South Division title and went on to defeat Georgia Military College in the Golden Isle Bowl. In 2007, Jeﬀers was promoted from oﬀensive line coach to co-oﬀensive coordinator. Jeﬀers was also the oﬀensive coordinator at the University of Charleston (W.Va.) (2003), where he worked with Eastern Kentucky oﬀensive coordinator Mike Springston, and Cumberland University (1998). For three-and-a-half years, Jeﬀers was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of the South (1999-02). He began his collegiate coaching career in 1995 at his alma mater, Concord College. During his football career, Jeﬀers was honored as an all-conference player and a Dean’s List student. He proceeded to earn his master’s degree in education from Cumberland University in 2000. Jeﬀers is married to the former Lauren Newton of Ripley, W.Va. The couple has a two-year old son – Kaden Blake Jeﬀers. Former Colonel Jake Johnson is in his seventh season on the Eastern Kentucky coaching staﬀ and sixth as the team’s defensive line coach. “I’m very impressed with Jake’s command of things at such a young age,” head coach Dean Hood said. “Players enjoy being around him and work hard for him.” Three of the four starters from 2009 are returning to the defensive line this fall including All-OVC standout Andrew Soucy. The senior led the Colonels with 9.5 tackles-for-loss and was second on the team with three sacks one year ago. Soucy also blocked a league-best five kicks during the season. The other two returning starters – senior Yameen Thomas and junior Emory Attig – combined for 13.5 tackles-for-loss in 2009. After graduating from Eastern in 2002 with a bachelor of arts degree in geography with an emphasis in global studies, Johnson spent a year at Wingate University as an assistant coach. His duties there included serving as the Bulldogs’ full-time tight ends coach and assistant oﬀensive line coach, while also aiding in player recruitment and game-day planning. Johnson then returned to Eastern Kentucky in 2004 as a graduate assistant coach. A three-year starting oﬀensive lineman during his collegiate career, Johnson garnered All-Ohio Valley Conference accolades at center in 2001. That same year, Johnson served as the Colonels’ oﬀensive team captain and was named the squad’s oﬀensive lineman of the year. Johnson earned four letters from 1997-2001 and was a freshman on the 1997 Colonel team which captured an OVC championship. He found success on and oﬀ the field at EKU, earning two spots on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll and five Colonel Scholar awards.

Revere also played baseball while a student at EKU. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from Eastern Kentucky in 1976, Revere went on to earn his master’s degree from Troy State in 1992. Revere is married to the former Brenda Daniel of Dayton, Ohio, and the couple has three children – J.R. (31), Courtney (26) and Ben (22). He also has a daughter, Janeece (33). Revere’s son, Ben, was selected in the first round of the 2007 Major League Baseball draft by the Minnesota Twins. Running Backs Coach • 14th Year at EKU John Revere Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 1976 If anybody ever fit the description “life-long Colonel,” it’s John Revere. He played for the Colonels from 1972-75 before returning to his alma mater as a member of the coaching staﬀ 14 years ago. “John Revere, by far, has recruited more people in our twodeep to this program than any other coach,” head coach Dean Hood said. “He is a knowledgeable person that can and has coached several diﬀerent positions on the field.” Over the past decade, Revere has spent time coaching the wide receivers and running backs. This will be the sixth consecutive year he will be in charge of the running backs, a position which could be up for grabs this fall. Eastern’s leading rusher from 2009, C.J. Walker, graduated, leaving the ball handling duties up to numerous players including junior H.B. Banjoman, senior Aaron Bradley and senior Bruce Frieson. Bradley, who missed the entire 2009 season with a knee injury, was expected to compete with Walker for the starting spot last year. Besides his coaching duties, Revere serves as a liaison for housing, meals and walk-on players. Prior to returning to Eastern, Revere was an assistant coach at LaGrange (Ga.) High School from 1982 to 1996. There he coached six players that went on to NFL careers including Walt Harris (San Francisco 49ers), Tyrone Poole (Oakland Raiders), Quientin McCord (Atlanta Falcons), John Johnson (San Francisco 49ers), Tony Stargell (New York Jets) and Marty Carter (Detroit Lions). Revere has also had a hand in developing several professional players while coaching at Eastern Kentucky. Alex Bannister, a wide receiver with the Super Bowl XL participant Seattle Seahawks, learned under Revere. Dialleo Burks, who also played for Revere at LaGrange High School, went on to play for the Dallas Desperados in the Arena League, while Corey Crume went on to play for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Canadian Football League. On the recruiting front, Revere’s tireless work along with his countless high school contacts have helped land numerous successful student-athletes at Eastern. Among Revere’s standout recruits are Antwaun Molden, a third round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2008 draft, and Sean Dumford, a 2008 free agent signee with the Baltimore Ravens. Some of his other former recruits include Larry Turner, a seventh round selection of the St. Louis Rams in the 2004 draft, Terry Ennis, who inked a contract with the British Columbia Lions of the CFL and former Colonel linebacker Justen Rivers, the 2004 OVC Defensive Player of the Year. Revere was a standout during his collegiate playing career, starting at flanker for four seasons under legendary EKU head coach Roy Kidd. During those four years, he hauled in 95 passes for 1,501 yards and 13 scores. He also rushed 53 times for 419 yards and two touchdowns. A dangerous punt and kickoﬀ return man, Revere tallied 459 career yards on 65 punt returns while racking up 1,212 yards and a touchdown on 59 kick-oﬀ returns. Revere was honored as a first team All-OVC selection during his junior season after earning second team all-league accolades during his sophomore campaign.

More importantly than that, he is a good teacher who cares about kids.” The EKU oﬀense has the potential to be a tough act to stop in 2010 with sophomore quarterback T.J. Pryor leading the way. Pryor took over the signal calling duties midway through the year last season and led the Colonels to a second place finish in the OVC, which included an impressive 36-31 win at conference champion Eastern Illinois. Springston was the head coach and athletics director at West Virginia Tech from 1999-02 before taking over as head coach at the University of Charleston (W.Va.) for two years. While the head coach at West Virginia Tech, Springston took a program that had won six games in 10 years and developed it into a contender. The 2002 Golden Bears ended their season 6-5 overall and tied for second in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC). After four years at West Virginia Tech, Springston took on a new challenge by revitalizing the Charleston football program. The Golden Eagles had not fielded a football team since 1956, but Springston and his staﬀ put together a competitive squad that earned three victories in 2004. Springston’s other collegiate coaching stints include oﬀensive coordinator positions at Concord College (1992), Glenville State College (1991) and West Virginia Tech (1990). He also served two years as the head coach at Thornridge High (Dalton, Ill.) in 199495 and Linden McKinley High (Columbus, Ohio) in 1985-86. Most recently, Springston served three years as a special education teacher at Parkland High School in Winston-Salem, N.C. There, he volunteered his time with the football team for two years. Springston earned his bachelor’s degree from West Virginia Tech in 1981. Springston and his wife, Sharon, are the parents of three grown children – Chris Springston (32), Paul Tromp (32) and Lisa Tromp (29).

Pryor’s desperation pass to Orlandus Harris fell incomplete in the end zone as time expired, allowing host Indiana to escape with a 19-13 victory Thursday night at Memorial Stadium. This was the first ever meeting between the two schools. The Colonels trailed 19-10 at the half before rallying with two chances to win late in the contest. On EKU’s second possession of the second half, back-to-back big plays from Pryor set up a Colonel field goal to make the score, 19-13. First, Pryor scampered 36 yards on third down along the sidelines to extend the drive. The very next play, Pryor hit junior Shannon Davis for a 29-yard completion to put EKU in field goal range. Eastern held Indiana to just one first down in the third quarter and proceeded to move into scoring range again early in the fourth. Two key pass plays from junior quarterback Cody Watts to fellow junior Evan Cromer put EKU inside IU’s 20-yard line. The Colonels eventually reached the five-yard line, but proceeded to fumble the ball on 2nd-and-goal. Eastern’s defense held Indiana without a point two more times before giving the oﬀense one more chance to win the game with 26 seconds to go. Pryor directed this drive and used two 20-yard pass plays to Cromer to move the ball to Indiana’s 40-yard line with eight seconds left. On the final play of regulation, Pryor lofted the ball to the left corner of the end zone, but Harris was unable to come down with the pigskin. Indiana moved up and down the field in the first half, tallying 262 oﬀensive yards, to take the nine-point lead into the locker rooms. EKU’s defense turned the tide in the second half, holding the Hoosiers to only 137 yards. Two big plays set up Eastern’s points in the first half.

Eastern Kentucky trailed 10-0 before finally answering with its first extended drive of the game. On 3rd-and-2, T.J. Pryor found Orlandus Harris for 11 yards. On the next play, Pryor hooked up with Harris again, this time over the middle for 42 yards to the UK 11. The Colonels only picked up two more yards before being forced to attempt a field goal. Junior Marcus Williams took the snap as the holder, but instead of putting the ball down for Logan O’Connor’s field goal attempt, he raced untouched to the right corner from nine yards out to cut the lead to four. The point-after attempt failed and the Colonels trailed 10-6 with 2:44 on the clock in the second quarter. Kentucky added one more scoring drive before intermission to make the score 17-6 at halftime. UK opened the second half with another long drive. Deep in Eastern territory, Colonel cornerback Andre Evans nearly picked oﬀ a pass with nothing but clear sailing in front of him, but the senior couldn’t hold on to the ball. A pick-six could have cut the deficit to 17-14 early in the third quarter. The EKU defense ultimately held Kentucky to a field goal attempt, which missed to the left. On their next possession, the Wildcats pushed out to a 24-6 lead. After taking over at the 50 yard line, UK drove the distance in nine plays. A 14yard scoring pass from Newton to Maurice Grinter capped the drive with 2:28 left to play in the third quarter. Just over a minute later, an interception and one pass play extended the UK lead to 30-6. Newton connected with Chris Matthews from 18 yard out after Sam Maxwell picked oﬀ a pass by Pryor. RICHMOND, Ky. – Visiting Western Carolina capitalized on four Eastern Kentucky University turnovers to defeat the Colonels in non-conference football action Saturday afternoon at Roy Kidd Stadium, 24-7. The Colonels fall to 5-5 with the loss while the Catamounts snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 2-8. WCU took a slim 10-7 lead into halftime, but took advantage of two key Eastern Kentucky mistakes in the third quarter to stretch the lead to 24-7. Starting its second drive of the half at its own six-yard line, Eastern quarterback T.J. Pryor fumbled the exchange from center giving the Catamounts possession in the red zone. Western Carolna quarterback Zack Jaynes found Marquel Pittman for a seven-yard touchdown pass on the very next play to put the Catamounts ahead, 17-7. Three minutes later, the Colonels misplayed a punt return allowing Western Carolina to regain possession at the EKU 21-yard line. Three plays later, Jaynes threw his third touchdown pass, this time a 13-yard strike to Chris Everett, to make the score, 24-7. Eastern tried to respond on its next drive, but turned the ball over on downs at the Western Carolina 18-yard line. The Colonels faced a 4th-andone and elected to go for the first down only to see Walker get stuﬀed for a two yard loss. Western Carolina piled together a season-high 335 yards of oﬀense and converted 10-of-20 (50 percent) third downs. Meanwhile, EKU was held to 3-of-12 (25 percent) on third downs. Jaynes paced the Western Carolina oﬀense by going 24-for-34 for 232 passing yards. The sophomore equaled a career high with three touchdown passes. Pittman tallied a season-high nine receptions for 109 yards and two scores. Pryor finished 18-of-38 (47.4 percent) passing for 174 yards and one interception. Wide receiver Orlandus Harris posted a career-high nine receptions for 88 yards.

The Colonels conclude the year 5-6 overall and 5-3 in the OVC. Eastern Kentucky had a chance to tie the game on its final drive, but turned the ball over on downs at the Jacksonville State 24-yard line. The Colonels ran for a season-high 233 yards in the loss. Senior C.J. Walker became the first player to tally 100 yards rushing against Jacksonville State in 2009 as he finished with a season-high 117 yards and a touchdown. Redshirt freshman quarterback T.J. Pryor added two touchdown passes to senior Garnett Phelps and junior Shannon Davis. Gamecock quarterback Ryan Perrilloux ran for a score and threw for a touchdown against the Colonels. Perrilloux posted a career-high 115 yards rushing on just nine carries to go along with 191 yards passing. The first half featured five lead changes before Jacksonville State took a 21-20 lead into intermission. Eastern ran for 190 yards in the first 20 minutes, including 88 yards from Walker. The Gamecocks extended their lead to 31-20 early in the fourth quarter. Eastern Kentucky responded on its next drive to slice the deficit to 31-26. Pryor carried the Colonels by completing 3-of-4 passes for 66 yards. Walker capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown run on 4th-and-goal. Jacksonville State couldn’t put the game away on its next possession as the Gamecocks settled for a 23-yard field goal to go ahead, 34-26. From there, the Colonels began their final drive from the 11-yard line with 3:22 remaining. Two big pass plays from Pryor to Phelps quickly helped Eastern move into Jacksonville State territory. A third-down conversion from Pryor to junior Cody Watts then put EKU on the Gamecock 33-yard line. However, facing 4th-and-2 on the 25-yard line with a minute remaining, Eastern Kentucky fumbled the exchange from center and Jacksonville State recovered the ball to seal the win.

For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expandBeth DeBauche OVC Commissioner ing to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and Kyle Schwartz the Mid-American Conferences. Asst. Commissioner The OVC’s proud history past dates back for Media Relations to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 62 years, 14 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 20 outright or shared football crowns, including both the 2007 and 2008 championships, as they compiled a 15-1 league record over that time period. Only one other Football Championship Subdivision school (UMass) has won more Conference titles than the Colonels. Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoﬀs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoﬀ was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoﬀ representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoﬀs, and two of EKUSports.com them – Eastern Kentucky and Murray State – were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. 2009 OVC Standings Conference W- L Pct. # 15/#19 Eastern Illinois 6- 2 .750 Eastern Kentucky 5- 3 .625 Tennessee Tech 5- 3 .625 UT Martin 4- 4 .500 Tennessee State 3- 4 .429 Austin Peay 3- 5 .375 Murray State 2- 6 .250 Southeast Missouri 1- 7 .125 # 16/#16 Jacksonville St.1 6- 1 .857 Overall W- L Pct. 8- 4 .667 5- 6 .455 6- 5 .545 5- 6 .455 4- 7 .364 4- 7 .364 3- 8 .273 2- 9 .182 8- 3 .727 PF 282 222 267 300 161 242 200 240 385 PA 255 240 286 323 208 318 345 299 188 1 Due to NCAA APR penalties, JSU was ineligible for OVC championship Ohio Valley Conference Contact Information Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations: Kyle Schwartz E-mail: kschwartz@ovc.org Oﬃce: 615-690-6685 Fax: 615-371-1788 Web site: www.ovcsports.com OVC All-Time Member List University of Akron Austin Peay State University East Tennessee State University Eastern Illinois University Eastern Kentucky University University of Evansville Jacksonville State University University of Louisville Marshall University Middle Tennessee State University Morehead State University Murray State University Samford University Southeast Missouri State University Southern Illinois Univ.

More than 120 schools (including provisional members) play FCS football and more than half of those have been in the playoﬀs at least once. Only Georgia Southern (six), Youngstown State (four), Appalachian State (three) and two-time champs Eastern Kentucky, Marshall and Montana have won the title more than once. The Football Championship Subdivision playoﬀs provides for a maximum field of 20 teams. Eight teams will play in the opening round with the winners joining the remaining 12 teams the following week in the round of 16. Ten conferences (Big South, Big Sky, Colonial Athletic, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern and Southland) have been granted automatic qualification for the 2010 championship. The remaining 10 teams will be selected at-large by the FCS Football Committee. The title game will be played at a new site (Frisco, Texas) and new date (Jan. 7, 2011) this year. Eight other sites have hosted the championship including Chattanooga, Tenn., which served as the host for the previous 13 championship contests. Only four teams qualified for the NCAA FCS playoﬀs in the event’s first three years. The field expanded for the 1981 championship (eight teams), the 1982 championship (12 teams) and the 1986 championship (16 teams). The championship format remained at 16 teams until this year.

Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics complexes in the nation. Average attendance at football games has been around 10,000 fans this decade, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fifth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Florida, 24-12. Eastern opened the stadium in 1969 defeating Austin Peay, 29-10. Hanger Field was oﬃcially dedicated on Sept. 26, 1970 when the Colonels downed East Tennessee, 10-6. The field itself continues to bear the name Hanger Field. The nine-story structure provides seating on its slanted roof for 16,000 football spectators while an additional 4,000 can be seated in bleachers across the field. Hanger Field underwent a transformation from natural grass to synthetic turf in the spring of 2009. The Colonels have found Kidd Stadium to their liking during its 41-year history. Entering the 2010 season, Eastern has won 191, lost 42, and tied 1 (.818 winning percentage), and had a home undefeated streak of 36 games which began on Sept. 23, 1978, and was brought to a halt Nov. 27, 1983. EKU also ran oﬀ 27-straight wins at Hanger Field from 1985-89 and had a Roy Kidd Stadium OVC consecutive game winning streak of 22 games dating back to 1977 broken in 1984 and another 20-game OVC win streak stopped in 1990. The single-level pressbox, which towers 94 feet above the playing field, has working space for 87 media representatives, including private coaching booths, radio booths and film areas. A new full-color video scoreboard was unveiled for the stadium in 1999. Facilities inside the stadium include oﬃces for the athletics staﬀ, locker rooms, media interview room and a modern training room. The structure also has 10 racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a gymnastics area, two cardiovascular rooms and classroom space to serve 2,000 students simultaneously.

Hall of Fame coach Roy Kidd took over an EKU program in the 1960s in need of a spark. In just his fourth season at the helm, the Colonels won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Region championship. A decade later, Kidd led Eastern to four straight national championship game appearances while capturing the 1979 and 1982 national crowns. In those four years, Eastern compiled a 46-7 record, was continually ranked No. 1 in the nation, finishing at the top spot in the country in both the 1981 and 1982 seasons. Those championship seasons also set in motion a string of 17 Division I FCS playoﬀ appearances during the next 19 seasons for the Colonels that three times – 1986, 1988 and 1991 – ended just short of national title games with close semifinal round losses. Today’s Colonels, now led by third-year head coach Dean Hood, hope to make some history of their own in 2010 and build upon the successes of past EKU championship squads. Colonels in a 55-0 trouncing of Northwood (Mich.) College. Guice was 17-of-30 in this game for 260 yards and four touchdown tosses. The stage was set for the game of the year for who else but cross-state rival Western Kentucky who was visiting EKU for what would turn out to be its last appearance at the antiquated Hanger Stadium that stood in the middle of campus. Every seat in the stadium was filled and many spectators stood on the hillside in the east end zone to form the record-setting 15,000 crowd in attendance that sunny Saturday afternoon. Co-captain defensive end Chuck Siemon One of the most memorable earned All-OVC honors in 1967. goal-line stands in Eastern history occurred in this game as the Headhunters stopped Western’s All-American tailback Dickie Moore six out of seven times from the just outside the one-yard line, before Moore finally punched it in on the eighth try for a touchdown. Eastern countered this score when fullback Bob Beck’s 10-yard touchdown run was followed by Guice’s two-point conversion run for the tying points, 14-14. A late would-be game-winning touchdown pass from Guice to Don Buehler was overthrown by inches as the game ended in a tie. Three more easy victories and a tie with Morehead State in the regular season finale left Eastern with a 7-1-2 record. The Colonels were then chosen to make the University’s second bowl appearance against Indiana Collegiate Conference champion Ball State University in the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. This bowl game was being held to decide the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship, which included a 10-state and 100 team area, one of four such college division championships set up by the NCAA that year. Eastern went into the game shorthanded as the NCAA would not allow freshmen to play, which kept running backs McCoy and fullback Butch Evans on the sidelines. Kidd countered this ruling by moving All-American receiver Aaron Marsh to tailback. This move paid oﬀ as Marsh made a huge contribution in the first half, picking up 46 yards on the ground, grabbing three passes and totaling 39 yards on two punt returns, before being forced from the game with a back injury. After the Colonels were leading 13-7 at the break, it was time for one of the biggest plays in Colonel football history when AllAmerican nose guard Teddy Taylor burst through the line, stole the ball from Cardinal quarterback Doc Heath and ran 39 yards for a score that put Eastern up, 20-7. Ball State, ranked fifth in the nation heading into the Grantland Rice Bowl, responded by reaching EKU’s nine yard-line before the Colonel defense stiﬀened and stopped the Cardinals’ drive. The next few minutes was vintage Guice. He sliced and diced the Ball State defense, hitting six straight passes for 64 of the 91 yards in the drive, and culminated the back-breaking sequence of events with a 28-yard scoring pass to Ted Holcomb that provided the Colonels with an insurmountable 27-7 lead. 1967 Mideast Region Champions In the 10 years prior to 1967, Eastern Kentucky had managed only two winning seasons. However, Coach Kidd and the Colonels tallied a respectful 7-3 record in 1966, setting the stage for the first EKU championship team. “This team got the championship tradition started at Eastern,” said Kidd, who coached the Colonels to 315 victories in 39 years, won 16 OVC titles, two national I-AA crowns and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. “They have always been and will always be one of my favorite teams.” Things started out on a sour note that season when the Colonels opened their 10-game schedule with a 16-0 loss to a tough University of Dayton team on the road in a contest that saw EKU held to just 34 yards rushing, while the Flyers piled up 231 yards on the ground. This was the last game that the Colonels would lose that year. “The success for this program really began with the groups ahead of us. Guys like (quarterback) Larry Marmie and (middle guard) Ron DaVingo … we learned a lot from them. Coach Kidd had the vision and we all bought into it.” – Jim Guice, Grantland Rice Bowl MVP – The second game of the year was a 35-7 decision for the Colonels over OVC rival East Tennessee that produced the emergence of freshman tailback Jack McCoy. He finished the game with 74 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Tim Speaks, subbing for an injured Jim Guice, directed the Colonels to a 37-0 win over Austin Peay in the third game. The EKU defensive unit, known as the ‘Headhunters,’ lived up to their moniker by shutting out the Bucs as tri-captain Chuck Siemon and all-conference linebacker Ron Reed combined for 16 tackles and 20 assists in the win. Eastern’s quality depth at quarterback again proved to be too much for opponent number four that season as Speaks started at signal-caller for the Colonels, while first team All-OVC and AllAmerican candidate Guice was used in passing situations only, as Eastern edged Middle Tennessee, 14-7. Eastern’s last non-conference game came the following week when 15 records fell for the 59 EKUSports.com �eku Championship Seasons In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his first championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremendous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton ran for 121 yards to help the Colonels capture their first national championship, a 30-7 victory over Lehigh in 1979. 1979 National Champions Eastern’s entry in national football prominence began ominously during spring break in 1979 when Colonel oﬀensive lineman Don McKinnon tragically lost his life quickly with a bout with meningitis on March 11, 1979. EKU’s football family responded to this unpredictable loss to its football family by wearing McKinnon’s No. 68 on their helmets and by having the No. 68 painted in the corner of each end zone at Hanger Stadium for the 1979 year. The 1979 season began on the heels of an 8-2 1978 campaign when EKU opened the season at NCAA Division I-A opponent Kent State. A goal line stand late in the game gave Eastern a hard-fought 17-14 win over the Golden Flashes and signaled to the football world that this ’79 team could indeed be something special. With just seconds remaining, Western lined up for the 18-yard chip-shot boot that would give the ’Toppers the victory. However, senior All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back Danny Martin had other ideas as he broke through the line and blocked the kick, preserving the two-point victory. Elation was short-lived, however. The emotional victory took its toll as the Colonels traveled to Murray State the next weekend for an ABC televised contest that ended with the Colonels on the short end of a 24-7 Racer victory. Eastern rebounded with three straight impressive victories — 35-0 over Tennessee Tech, 27-21 over No. 2 ranked Jackson State and 34-7 over conference rival Morehead State. These three wins, coupled with Grambling’s loss to Southern, caught the I-AA football committee’s attention and Eastern entered the four-team playoﬀ for the national championship as an at-large representative. EKU made the most of its invitation, hosting the game and ABC television in what was called by one veteran network announcer as “the most exciting football game I have ever seen.” The Colonels were pitted against No. 1 ranked Nevada-Reno and its outstanding tailback Frank Hawkins in the opening round game. Once again, much like in the Western Kentucky contest played earlier that season at EKU, it seemed as though a last-minute kick was going to send Eastern to defeat. With Nevada-Reno having reeled oﬀ 20 straight points to tie the score at 23-all with 39 seconds left, All-American noseguard Joe Richard took a page out of Danny Martin’s ‘kick-blocking book’ and stormed through the line to block the extra point, leaving the score knotted at 23, keeping EKU’s national title dreams alive. In the first overtime period, both teams scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. In the second overtime, Eastern’s defense stiﬀened and held the Wolfpack scoreless on its possession. After moving the ball to the one-yard line, Kidd called on the reliable David Flores who booted the winning 17-yard field goal that gave the Colonels the 33-30 victory and sent Eastern packing to Orlando, Fla., for an appearance at the Citrus Bowl Stadium and a match-up with the nation’s best I-AA defense — the Engineers of Lehigh University in the national championship game. “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up … If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” – Roy Kidd, former EKU head coach – Eastern won four of its next five contests, defeating Troy State, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee and Division I-A Cal-State Fullerton, losing only to East Tennessee, 27-20. This quick start propelled the Colonels to a 5-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking coming into EKU’s annual Homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. The 54th renewal of the state’s oldest football rivalry on Oct. 20, 1979, between Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky lived up to its billing. The game produced the biggest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history as 25,300 football fans filled every inch of stadium, bleacher and hillside seating available on a beautiful 75-degree sunny afternoon. Fifty-nine minutes into the contest the scoreboard read Eastern 8, Western 6 with the diﬀerence being a two-point conversion pass from EKU quarterback Bill Hughes to tight end Cris Curtis. However, the Hilltoppers were driving and obviously setting up what the Red and White faithful surely figured would be a gamewinning field goal. EKUSports.com 60 �COLONELS Championship Seasons “That 1979 team was a group of kids that never gave up,” Kidd said. “They kept getting better and better as the year wore on and kept plugging until they reached their goal of winning it all. If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very first game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All-OVC fullback Dale Patton and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 allpurpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was filled with tears of joy and tears of remembrance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball. As Don’s mother, Elizabeth MacKinnon, accepted the game ball, thoughts went back to the goal-line stand in the season opening victory against Kent State, to Danny Martin’s blocked field goal against Western Kentucky, to Joe Richards’ blocked extra point against Nevada-Reno and to other “big-time” plays that kept the dream alive. “I really think his [Don MacKinnon] memory was an inspiration to this team,” Martin said, whose No. 7 jersey will long be remembered as always being around the football and making big play after big play. “I know that sometimes when I was down and things weren’t going well, I’d find myself thinking about him.” Miller echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “I gave my best for Don and so did everybody else,” said the always aﬀable Miller. “We were really a close bunch of guys in ’79 that had a lot of fun playing football together,” Hope remembered. “I believe as I look back on our football history this team might have been extra special for the University because this was the first time that they got to take Cinderella to the Ball. There’s always a lot of memories and pride felt when you talk about that first national championship team.” Linebacker Alex Dominguez led EKU in tackles in 1980 and 1982. As EKU was returning to the hotel after the game, the marquee at the team’s headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very exciting 1979 football season – “Congratulations! Eastern Kentucky No. 1 National Champs.” 1980 National Finalists Thirty-three lettermen returned for Kidd as the Colonels tried to defend their national crown in 1980. The season began with a shockingly close 24-21 come-from-behind victory over Kentucky State and, seven games into the season, Eastern stood with a 5-2 overall record and 2-2 conference mark. Much like the year before, it was time to make a statement, and the Colonels did just that, reeling oﬀ four straight wins over Murray State, Tennessee Tech, Division I-A East Carolina and Morehead State to secure its second straight at-large bid into the four-team I-AA playoﬀ field. Instead of opening at the friendly confines of Eastern’s Hanger Field, the I-AA committee sent the Colonels to Bethlehem, Pa., for a rematch of the 1979 national championship contest to do battle with the then-ranked No. 1 Lehigh Engineers. In a tight contest, Colonel tailback Anthony Braxton’s 40-yard run down the near sideline gave EKU the boost it needed in a 23-20 upset victory. This set up a second straight national championship game — this time in Sacramento, Calif., in the Camellia Bowl versus the Boise State University Broncos. A long touchdown pass from quarterback Chris Isaac to split end David Booze gave Eastern the 29-24 lead with just 55 seconds left until a second consecutive national title. Boise State, however, methodically advanced the ball downfield and faced a fourth and goal from the Colonels’ 16-yard line. Bronco quarterback Joe Aliotti was able to elude the Colonel pass rush and found an open receiver in the end zone for the gamewinning touchdown. The 31-29 final verdict was gut-wrenching and diﬃcult to accept on the foggy, drizzly California day as the 1980 Colonels had to settle for the national runner-up trophy. 1979 Championship Box Score Dec. 15, 1979 ~ Tangerine Bowl ~ Orlando, Fla.

Somehow, with zeros showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter, Eastern had escaped with a 13-7 victory. Longtime TSU coach John Merritt had boldly predicted at the two team’s combined banquet the night before the game that “we were going to cage the bird.” And TSU was able to do that, but yet failed to put but seven points on the board, as EKU won its 12th straight game of the season and its 31st consecutive home game. The Delaware Blue Hens were now all that stood between EKU and a second national title. The venue – Wichita Falls, Texas and a second straight appearance in the I-AA Pioneer Bowl. In the title game, Parks blocked his sixth kick of the season, this one a Delaware field goal attempt which was scooped up by defensive end Richard Bell who romped 77 yards for a touchdown as EKU ran out to a 17-0 lead over the Blue Hens. Although Delaware scored 14 fourth-quarter points, the Colonel defense held firm and Eastern had its second national football title. “Tuck became a super player and was a real leader that year,” Kidd said. “And our defense played its best two games of the year in the playoﬀs against Tennessee State and Delaware.” In those final two games, Eastern held the nation’s top two scoring teams to a combined total of just 21 points. “The 1982 season was simply amazing,” Bird said, who signed with the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals upon graduation. “Everybody on that team brought something to the table and we all believed in each other. We went into that huddle. There was no funny business. We each had a job to do and we went out and did it and I’m talking about all 11 guys on every play. “Tuck was great and he deserved to be the captain,” continued Bird. “He was always there for everybody, both on and oﬀ the field. Everybody loved him and he just kept proving people wrong with the way he played. I’ve been around a lot of teams and that was a unique bunch of seniors that refused to lose.” Four years … 53 games … 46 wins … four straight national championship games … two national titles … numerous weeks of being ranked No. 1 during those four seasons … two conference championships … the 1982 season culminating with a perfect 13-0 record … first OVC team to win 13 games and one of the first in the history of college football to reach that win total in one season.

In a highlight-reel type game, it was once again the combination of Bird and Woolum that eventually put the game in the “W” column for the Colonels. This time, their six-yard touchdown hook-up with 14 seconds left gave Eastern a 21-20 lead. The students were so involved that twice they rushed on to the field with excitement, once when Bird’s score had tied the game at 20-all and once when Lovett’s extra point gave Eastern the lead. After Eastern was assessed 27 yards in penalties for the fans rushing onto the field, Lovett had to kick oﬀ from the 13-yard line, setting up the Racers near midfield after the return. Not until Anthony Jones made an interception near the goal line did EKU pull oﬀ one of the most memorable wins in school history. “We had lost our starting middle guard [McShane] and had an oﬀensive tackle [Mark Willoughby] playing defensive tackle,” Kidd said in support of his team’s defensive eﬀort. After EKU clinched the OVC championship with a 34-17 win over Tennessee Tech and rounded out the regular season with a 20-3 defeat of rival Morehead State, Eastern was set to enter the I-AA playoﬀs with a spotless 10-0 record. In the opening game of the playoﬀs, the Colonels gave coach Roy Kidd the best birthday present they could when they defeated coach Dennis Erickson’s Idaho Vandals, 38-30, on a warm December 4th night at Hanger Field. Oﬀensively, Bird highlighted the playoﬀ win with seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including one catch of 48 yards where his body was fully extended parallel to the ground to haul in the slightly overthrown Woolum pass. “This was the best game I’ve ever seen any individual have,” said Kidd as he talked about the All-American receiver Bird who hails from Kidd’s hometown of Corbin. The game was sealed when Jones made an interception with 38 seconds remaining to end the last Vandal scoring attempt.

Induction ceremonies were held in South Bend, Ind. “We’re very happy George was chosen for such a high honor,” former EKU head football coach Roy Kidd said, who joined Floyd in the Hall in August 2003. “I know one thing, that young man could play the game of football. And one of the things I liked best about George was that he didn’t mind hitting people. He was always around the football and was certainly a big reason for our success those four years he played for us.” Floyd was a member of Eastern’s first I-AA national championship team (1979) and played for two other Colonel teams (1980, 1981) that went to the national championship game before losing. He was a first-team All-American those last two years he played for EKU. The defensive back was a four-year starter and served as the team co-captain in 1981. Floyd was selected as the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year after recording five interceptions, one of which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. While at Eastern, Floyd set several school records, two of which still stand – career interceptions (22) and career interception return yardage (328). “We are proud of the Divisional Hall of Fame program, now in its fifth year, which continues to positively impact college football by honoring players and coaches from the divisional level with the ultimate honor, induction into the College Football Hall of Fame,” stated Chairman of the National Football Foundation, Jon F. Hanson. Floyd played four years (1983-86) of professional football for the National Football League’s New York Jets. He is currently an assistant principal at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky. Included in the 1999 Divisional Hall of Fame Class were George Bork, quarterback, Northern Illinois (1960-63); Randy Trautman, defensive tackle, Boise State (1961-64); Willie Gallimore, halfback, Florida A&M (1953-56); Jim LeClair, defensive tackle, North Dakota (1970-71); Teel Bruner, defensive back, Centre College (1982-85); and Floyd. Coaches in the ’99 Hall of Fame Class were Billy Nicks, Morris Brown (1930-42) and Prairie View A&M (1945-47, ’52-65) and James Sochor, California-Davis (1970-89). The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame inducted legendary former Eastern Kentucky football coach Roy Kidd into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. Kidd, who retired from his coaching duties at EKU, his alma mater, after the 2002 football season as the sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I or I-AA football history, coached the Colonels for 39 years, compiling a 315-123-8 (.715) overall record. During his tenure at Eastern from 1964-2002, he led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and made a record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoﬀ appearances. EKU appeared in four consecutive NCAA Division I-AA national championship contests, winning the 1979 and 1982 national titles. A two-time Division I-AA National Coach of the Year and 10time OVC Coach of the Year, Kidd has the third most victories at a single school among all divisions in NCAA history. In 39 seasons, his teams recorded 37 non-losing seasons, including a streak of 25 consecutive seasons with a winning record. Kidd, who has coached 41 players who have gone on to sign with National Football League teams, 55 All-Americans and 202 first team All-OVC selections, is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame and has had the EKU football stadium named in his honor. A past president of the American Football Coaches Association, Kidd has been a two-time Lexington Herald Sportsman of the Year. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s highest football award each season, given to the best high school football player in the state of Kentucky, is named the Roy Kidd Award. Beginning with the 2003 season, the OVC Coach of the Year award was named the Roy Kidd OVC Coach of the Year Award. Kidd was inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame on May 30, 2003, at the league’s Honors Luncheon held in Nashville, Tenn. 65 EKUSports.com �eku All-Conference Players First Team All-OVC NG Teddy Taylor (1967, 68, 69) RB Everett Talbert (1974, 76) Delmas Freeman Paul Wright Ray Pelfrey Carl Plantholt Ed Zoretic Chuck Hertzer Alex Kolakowski Chuck Schmitt Roy Kidd Carl Oakley Don Daly James Hanlon Jerry Johns Bob Mueller Frank Nassida Fred Winscher Tom Schulte John Sebest Dave Bishop Joe Graybeal Steve Herczeg Eddie Miller Jimmy Chittum Don MacDonald Ken Goodhew Chuck Siemon Roy Evans Roscoe Perkins Buddy Pfaadt Jim Guice Aaron Marsh Mike Smith Bill Brewer Harry Lenz Ron Reed Teddy Taylor Fred Troike Jim Moberly Jerry Pullins Jimmie Brooks Larry Kaelin Wally Chambers James Croudep Butch Evans Harry Irwin James Porter James Wilson Larry Kirksey Rich Thomas Alfred Thompson Joe Alvino Earl Cody Junior Hardin Robyn Hatley John Revere Stan Roberts Everett Talbert Elmo Boyd Scott McCallister Ernie House Roosevelt Kelly Anthony Miller Randy Heaberlin Stan Mitchell Jim Nelson Dean Stucky Danny Martin David Neal OG C Back OG Back Back DE OT Back OG Back Back OG Back NT DE DE RB RB C OT OG RB OG OG DE OT OG DB QB SE CB OT DB LB NG OG LB PK RB OG DT LB FB OT DB TE SE LB RB OG K DT/LB OT FL NG RB SE RB QB C DB OT RB FL OG DB C TE Jason Dunn (1993) EKUSports.com 66 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1951 1952 1952 1953 1953 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1954 1955 1957 1958 1959 1959 1959 1961, 62 1961 1962 1964, 67 1965 1965 1965, 66 1966 1966, 67 1966 1967, 68 1967 1967 1967, 68, 69 1967, 68 1968 1968 1969, 70, 71 1969 1970, 72 1970, 72 1970 1970 1971 1971 1972 1973 1973 1974, 76 1974 1974, 75 1974, 75 1974 1974 1974, 76 1975, 76 1975 1976 1976 1976, 77 1977 1977 1977 1977, 78 1978, 79 1978, 79 Dale Patton Joe Richard Chris Roberts David Flores Kevin Greve Bob McIntyre George Floyd Darryl Lawson Joe Schipske James Shelton David Dihrkop Alex Dominguez Jerry Parrish Chris Taylor Randy Taylor Terence Thompson Tron Armstrong Steve Bird Tuck Woolum Mike Bobek David Hill Anthony Jones Mike McShane Chris Sullivan Fred Harvey Charles Keller Joe Spadafino Keith Bosley James Crawford Aaron Jones Eugene Banks Danny Copeland Dale Dawson Byron Ingram John Jackson John Klingel Pat Smith Harold Torrens Gary Greve Elroy Harris David Miller Jessie Small Oscar Angulo Mike Cadore Chris Coﬀey Kelly Cutright Mike Delvisco Mike Kelly Tim Lester Randy Bohler Jim Von Handorf Al Jacevicius Mark Mitchell Bernard Rhodes Markus Thomas Ernest Thompson Kelly Blount Craig Brooks John Holmes Brett Kolnick Greg McKee Carl Satterly David Wilkins Tim Wimbley Chris McNamee Mike Roth Randy Wardlow Chad Bratzke Brad Ladd Brian Pressler FB NG DE K OG LB DB OT C DT OT LB FL OG DT RB WR WR QB OG LB DB NG C LB DE OT OT RB DT NG DB K C OT DE DB NG OG RB OT DE TE SE LB S C OG RB FL C OT OG DL RB NG LB S OG DE DT OT DE OG S OG DE DT DB OT 1978, 79 1978, 79 1978 1979 1979, 80, 81 1979 1980, 81 1980 1980 1980 1981 1981, 82 1981 1981, 82 1981, 82 1981 1982 1982 1982 1983 1983 1983, 84 1983 1983, 84 1984, 86 1984 1984, 85 1985 1985, 87 1985, 87 1986, 87 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1986 1986 1986, 87 1987 1987, 88 1987 1987, 88 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988 1988, 91 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989 1989, 92 1989, 90, 91 1990 1990 1990 1990 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1990, 91 1991 1991 1991 1992, 93 1992 1992 �COLONELS All-Conference Players Mike Thomas Leon Brown Jason Combs Chris Guyton James Hand Tim McNamee Carlos Timmons Joel Woods Marc Collins Roosevelt Givens Tony McCombs Joe Smith Chris Whitefield Joe Ganns William Murrell Scooter Asel Brandyon Brantley Britt Bowen Roger Orlandini Simon Fuentes David Hoelscher Tyrone Hopson Josh Hunter Derick Logan Rondel Menendez Terry Thomas Alex Bannister Yeremiah Bell Corey Crume Nick Hill Marcus Adams Brent Fox C.J.

To earn consideration for the All-Century Team, players must have met at least one of the following criteria: first or second team AllOVC honors, enshrinement in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, or All-American honors. Colonel fans helped determine the All-Century Team by casting their votes on-line in late August and early September at www.EKUSports.com. The All-Century logo was designed by former EKU running back Markus Thomas.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate and honor student-athletes, other individuals and teams whose accomplishments have contributed to the esteemed tradition of Colonel Athletics and whose character has reflected positively on the University. The inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame, featuring 38 distinguished individuals, was inducted during an evening ceremony on Nov. 3, 2006, in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Almost 300 people attended the induction ceremony. The honorees were also recognized prior to EKU’s home football game against Murray State the following day. The inaugural class was comprised of The Founders, a group of 25 who were previously honored at the 1974 Centennial Athletics Awards Banquet, and 13 members who were chosen by a selection committee. The Department of Athletics accepts nominations for the Hall of Fame on a rolling basis. Nominations must be received by March 1 to be considered for that year’s class. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Friday, Oct. 8 with the inductees also honored the next day at the home football game against Eastern Illinois. Including the 2010 induction class, there are 26 football players enshrined in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame – Steve Bird, Chad Bratzke, Jimmie Brooks, Charles Bryant, Wally Chambers, Danny Copeland, Don Daly, Fred Darling, George Floyd, Jim Guice, Myron Guyton, Fred Harvery, John Jackson, Aaron Jones, Roy Kidd, Roy King, Aaron Marsh, Buddy Pfaadt, Charles Shuster, Everett Talbert, Teddy Taylor, Markus Thomas, J.W. “Spider” Thurman, Cliﬀ Tinnell, Fred Troike and Tuck Woolum.

Although all cautions were taken to avoid errors, we do realize that names were most likely omitted due to the immensity of the task. Rosters were missing from the 1909-36 seasons along with some rosters from the 1940s and 1950s. Redshirt years were not included.
