What it means to

be a bison “... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson, in his book WON IN THE NINTH, written in 1910

The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, contribute to a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a studentathlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime. LB Travis Nissley, a mechanical engineering major, earned a 3.95 GPA last fall and was one of 23 Bison to earn spots on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.

Bucknell Bison Athletics Setting the Standard of Excellence Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to graduation rates that are ranked annually in the national top-10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal. •

According to federal data released by the NCAA in the fall of 2008, Bucknell’s four-year student-athlete graduation rate was second-highest in the nation among student-athletes who entered college between the 1998-99 and 2001-02 academic years. With a four-class average of 89 percent, Bucknell trailed only Davidson (92 percent) among all Division I institutions reporting federal graduation rates (the Ivy League and military academies do not report federal graduation rates). Georgetown, Notre Dame and Holy Cross were also at 89 percent. Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate is identical to its overall student-body average of 89 percent.

With three more Patriot League championships in 2008-09, Bucknell has now earned 73 crowns in 19 years in the league. In addition, Bucknell has had 100 conference players of the year, 83 PL coaches of the year and a whopping 476 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.

Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 15 times in the 19-year history of the affiliation, including 11 of the last 12 years. Bucknell claimed the overall and women’s Cup standings in 2008-09. It was the 12th straight year and the 15th time overall that the Bison took home the women’s title. In 2008-09, Bucknell won Patriot League titles in women’s outdoor track & field, women’s rowing and men’s golf. Additionally, the baseball and men’s lacrosse teams captured regular-season titles.

Bucknell has claimed a league-high 113 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91.

Bucknell ranks FIFTH in the nation (to Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford) in total number of ESPN The Magazine All-America selections.

A total of 366 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2008-09 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their sport’s competition season. Among all BU student-athletes, 238 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better in the spring of 2009.

24 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in the spring of 2009.

In addition to the 117 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 276 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including a school-record 22 in 2008-09.

A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excellence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olympic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, a new Academic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff, and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

Bucknell Bison Athletics A National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete Ideal Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national model when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. LAPTOP PROGRAM: The Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. OTHER PROGRAMMING: The Department of Athletics, through the identification of outside speakers and periodic “Brown Bag Luncheons,” thrives to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience as well as to educate student-athletes on a variety of issues that may affect them throughout their collegiate career. Some recent topics of interest have been alcohol, nutrition, body image, hazing, sexuality, diversity, career development, study skills, religious life and gambling.

CHRISTY MATHEWSON-MEMORIAL STADIUM

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

CHRISTY MATHEWSON-MEMORIAL STADIUM THE HOME OF BISON FOOTBALL

6


2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL Bucknell plays its home games in a picturesque, 85-year-old stadium that pays tribute to one of its most distinguished alumni and to its numerous war veterans. The stadium, dedicated in 1924 in honor of Bucknell men and women who served the United States in time of war, was renovated and renamed in 1989 to recognize perhaps Bucknell’s most honored alumni and one of the true heroes of American sports. Christy Mathewson was one of the five original members of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., but gained his initial athletic fame as a fullback, punter and dropkicker at Bucknell from 1898-1900. One of the truly outstanding players of his era, Mathewson kicked a point after touchdown in the first varsity game of his freshman year, and in the next three years added 13 touchdowns and eight field goals. Mathewson gained national attention when he dropkicked two field goals against Pennsylvania in 1899 and added a 45-yard field goal against Army the following year. As a result, he was named the “12th man” on Walter Camp’s 1900 All-America team. Reports in Bucknell files indicate that Mathewson practiced his dropkicking hour after hour, and these reports also note that his punting was exceptional throughout his career, a three-year stretch during which he scored 106 points. “Matty” was also a punishing runner, and one game account makes note of a 65-yard touchdown run and a 70-yard kickoff return. The facility that bears Mathewson’s name has seen plenty of transformation over the last 20 years. A new locker room and weight room were constructed in 1987. The Tom Gadd Weight Room was updated with brand new equipment in 1999, allowing Bison players an outstanding facility for daily use and weight training. In 1988, the horseshoe edifice was totally resurfaced and new seating was added. New concession stands, rest rooms, ticket booths and souvenir stands were added a year later, along with an eight-lane, allweather track, which was resurfaced in 2003.

KENNETH LANGONE ATHLETICS & RECREATION CENTER

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

KREBS FITNESS CENTER

Promoting lifetime wellness, the Krebs Family Fitness Center contains state-of-the-art ca cardiovascular and strength conditioning equipment. The 16,000-square-foot center includes ov 175 positions for equipment within three distinct areas. The first-level cardiovascular over an pin-select equipment is open for student, faculty and staff use at all times. Directly and ab above, the mezzanine also contains cardio equipment, with scenic views of the campus and natatorium. In July 2008, a new Mondo floor was installed. na The third area, the Berger Family Weight Room, sits on the former site of Freas-Rooke Pool, Po and is used for instructional free-weight training and varsity workouts.

KINNEY NATATORIUM

The Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 15 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 19 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 117 Academic All-Americans in 38 years and 113 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 19 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The brand new construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy MathewsonMemorial Stadium and its FieldTurf gridiron and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club; Depew Field, the home of the Bison baseball team; the West Fields softball diamond; and Emmitt Field and Graham Field at Holmes Stadium, hte new portion of the West Fields project that includes covered grandstand seats, ticket and concession areas, team rooms, a training room and a press box area for soccer, field hockey and women's lacrosse. A closer look behind the walls of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center:

RAMER SCHAFFNER MEMORIAL HALL

Ramer Schaffner Memorial Hall greets guests as they enter the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center. The entry hall features the busts of 2nd Lt. George H. Ramer and 1st Lt. Dwite H. Schaffner, Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, and provides access to Gerhard Fieldhouse and the Krebs Family Fitness Center on the ground level. Guests may proceed to the second level to enter Davis Gym, administrative offices and the Hall of Fame, which celebrates Bucknell’s Patriot League championships and other athletics accomplishments.

Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accommodates m four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s wo water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool itself features two moveable bulkheads, allowing for multiple Bu team te practices and recreational swimming to occur simultaneously. Natatorium amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and an visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands. sta Already Kinney Natatorium has played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 20 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility has also served as host of the 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009 Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships, the 2004 Eastern Women’s Water Polo Championship and an exhibition game against the U.S. women’s water polo national team, drawing rave reviews at each. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the Pennsylvania state swimming championships moved to Kinney Natatorium.

SOJKA PAVILION

Sojka Pavilion provides the Bison men’s and women’s basketball programs with one of the finest arenas in the East. A “first-class” venue capable of seating 4,000 spectators for sporting and other campus events, the pavilion has walk-down access to all seats and unobstructed views of the playing surface or concert stage for all spectators. The seating bowl features approximately 1,500 fixed seats and 2,500 retractable seats, enabling an “expandable” open floor area with sufficient space for three basketball courts for recreational activities and varsity practices. The spacious upper-level concourse includes two concession areas, restrooms, handicapped seating and several suites that overlook the floor. Behind the scenes, on the floor level, Sojka Pavilion provides a green room for performance acts and other functions, a catering kitchen for special events, ticket windows, locker room space for home and visiting teams and officials, and a loading dock capable of accommodating team buses and production trucks for televised events. Nearly 20 nationally televised basketball games have already been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including the ESPN broadcast of the 2006 Patriot League championship game and an ESPN360 airing of the Bucknell-Villanova men’s game that drew a school-record crowd of 4,433.


2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

Whether it is the varsity student-athlete, the intramurals participant or the fitness fitness buff looking for a nice workout, members of the Bucknell community benefit from a wide array of first class athletics facilities. The completion of the Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center in 2003 highlighted a facilities boon at Bucknell. Sojka Pavilion, Kinney Natatorium and the Krebs Family Fitness Center are the centerpieces of the sparkling indoor facility, nicely complementing the renovated Davis Gym and Gerhard Fieldhouse, all of which lie under the same roof. Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium is the largest of the outdoor facilities, with 13,100 seats surrounding the FieldTurf playing surface and recently resurfaced 8-lane track. Holmes Stadium, completed in 2007, is an impressive covered grandstand located at the West Fields complex. It features all chair-back seating and accompanying support facilities (locker rooms, athletic training room, press box, concession/ merchandise stand, etc.) that service both three-year-old Emmitt Field, the home of Bison soccer, and the AstroTurf Graham Field, which is the home field of the field hockey and women's lacrosse squads.

ONE

OF THE

LEWISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA

BEST SMALL TOWNS

IN

AMERICA

Bucknell’s hilltop campus slopes into Victorian Lewisburg, population roughly 6,000, a town in which historic preservationists have influence. Lewisburg enjoys ornamental vanities that are not part of modern architecture. Gingerbread porches, carved wooden doors and three-globed street lights that make this town memorable. Historical roots are important in Lewisburg. The town celebrates the holidays with the annual Victorian Holiday Parade and exhibits at the Packwood House Museum and the Slifer House Museum. Its many historical sites include an Underground Railroad station. A weekly market brings Amish farmers to town in horse-drawn wagons. Lewisburg is ranked 15th in the nation in the book, The 100 Best Small Towns in America, written by Norman Crampton. The town earned this ranking by scoring high in areas such as the number of physicians per 100,000, the percentage of college-educated residents, the lowest number of serious crimes, and its location near state parks as well as being host to an institution of higher learning. The borough of Lewisburg began its early life as “Derrstown” named for its settler, landowner, and miller Ludwig Derr. While the date remains obscure, the historians point out that in English, the German name for Ludwig is Lewis. The town’s growth from 1785 until well into the 19th century was slow due to the lack of transportation, until a ferry was built to carry wagons across the Susquehanna River and a canal was completed in 1833. Lewisburg, surveyed in 1769, was not officially founded by Ludwig Derr until 1785. The borough was incorporated on March 31, 1812. Located on the Susquehanna, it has benefited with every development in transportation: turnpike, canal, railroad and now, highways. Enhanced by the chartering of Bucknell University on February 5, 1846, and the seating of the county government on October 9, 1855, the community expanded its development past Fifth Street to what is now Route 15. Most of the builders of this community are protected through historic district regulation. In addition to Bucknell, the Lewisburg Federal Prison System and Evangelical Community Hospital enhance the area’s financial stability. Education has always played a primary part in Lewisburg’s social society. As early as 1790 the basics were taught in private homes. In 1805 the “Log Cabin Academy” was built. In 1835 three new schools were added, while the present system consists of two elementary schools, a middle school — which was recently named the top middle school in the state — and a high school. Sixty-five percent of Lewisburg’s high school graduates go on to college. For more on Lewisburg, please visit the Lewisburg Downtown Partnership Web site at www.lewisburgpa.com.

FOR

BUCKNELL/ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT

The Department of Athletics The and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for studentathletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic AllAmericans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff ’s paramount responsibility athletes’ educa is maintaining academic prioritiess and supporting student student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA.

ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION

JOHN P. HARDT

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS & RECREATION At the helm of a proud and flourishing Bison athletics program is director of athletics and recreation John Hardt, who is now in his 10th year at Bucknell and his 24th year in athletics administration. Hardt administers a broad-based sports program with a proud and successful history. Since his arrival, Hardt has orchestrated one of the nation’s most assertive facilities overhauls, built and maintained relationships with major donors, restructured the athletics administration in order to help Bucknell stay ahead of the curve in the fastpaced world of Division I athletics and built upon Bucknell’s long-standing tradition of scholar-athlete excellence. Hardt is privileged to oversee a varsity athletics program that has long been at the head of the class in the Patriot League, both on the playing fields and in the classroom. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to the nation’s best graduation rate, Bison Athletics carries a proud heritage. While building on Bucknell’s athletic and academic excellence is paramount, Hardt has also incorporated progressive ideas in the area of external relations. Initiatives such as the Bison Now radio program, a new graphics identity package, an informative and visually appealing athletics Web site and a revamped Bison Club all serve to bring Bison Athletics into the homes of its supporters. Hardt reorganized the management structure of the department and implemented a sport management group, dividing the direct oversight of 27 men’s and women’s varsity programs among Hardt and four associate directors of athletics. During his productive tenure at Bucknell, Hardt has overseen eight consecutive years of growth in Bison Club donations, and he has seen the program benefit from several major gifts. While the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the crown jewel of a successful university fundraising campaign, other significant offerings include a $7.6 million donation from William Graham — one of the largest in university history — which was directed toward women’s athletics and the successful restoration of wrestling to varsity status. Graham Field, the new AstroTurf venue at the West Fields, was also a result of that gift. Other major gifts have included the funding of the FieldTurf playing surface and new lighting in Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, a new natural grass soccer pitch that opened in 2005, Holmes Stadium, the new stadium/press box facility that now supports both Graham Field and Emmitt Field, as well as endowments for football, track and field, swimming and diving and water polo. While much has been achieved in the last nine years, Hardt’s vision for Bison Athletics carries well into the future. Working with campus and department leadership, he has developed a long-range plan for Bucknell Athletics that meshes with President Brian Mitchell’s strategic plan, entitled The Plan for Bucknell. Hardt’s plan focuses on future facilities upgrades, places an emphasis on diversity and gender equity, and promises the continued commitment to a student-centered athletics and recreation program that adheres to the student-athlete ideal.

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

SEASON OUTLOOK After years of having relatively young and inexperienced rosters, the Bucknell football team should finally have a strong veteran presence in 2009. The Bison return eight starters on defense and nine more on the offensive side of the ball, including All-Patriot League performers A.J. Kizekai and Shaun Pasternak as seventh-year head coach Tim Landis’ squad looks to improve on last year’s 5-6 mark and finish above .500 for the first time since 2006. The return of Marcello Trigg, who missed the final three games of last season as well as spring practice with a knee injury, and Sam Nana-Sinkam, who suffered a leg injury midway through the year against Georgetown, will bolster the lineup as well. Bucknell has plenty of experience at nearly every position heading into 2009. The only positions where the Bison won’t have seasoned players is at kicker and punter, where sophomores Drew Orth and Andrew Bell will take over for four-year starters Will Carney and Phil Azarik. For the second straight year, Bucknell ended the season on a high note in 2008 as it defeated defending Patriot League champion Fordham 24-21 on a field goal in overtime. Last year, the Bison parlayed the positive experience of upsetting the 18th-ranked Rams in the final game of the 2007 campaign into a 4-2 start. Expectations heading into 2009 are high after last season's two-win improvement and the continued summer commitment of the Bison players. Last summer, more than 50 players spent June and July in Lewisburg, taking advantage of the team’s workout facilities and strengthening team camaraderie under the guidance of second-year strength coach John Field, who has also held positions at Colgate and Holy Cross, the top two teams in the Patriot League in 2008. This summer, another 50 players continued the growing tradition of training in Lewisburg. “Having guys here in the summer is an indication of commitment to the program,” mentioned Landis. “The more guys you can have here in the summer working out with your strength coach, the better you are going to be when preseason camp comes around. Our strength coach has done a tremendous job because he knows at what level these guys need to be at the start of camp and he can make sure they are at that level. Some guys do a great job on their own at home, but the ones that are here we know are getting great instruction and the valuable time with their teammates.” Bucknell this season returns 39 lettermen and 17 starters. Below is a position-by-position look at the Bison heading into preseason practice.

sidelines sidelines. Under Nichols, Bucknell used a spread option attack that resulted in the team throwing for more than 2,000 yards for the first time since 2001. The Bison continued to feature their vaunted running game as well with six different players registering at least 100 yards on the ground as the team piled up more than 1,600 rushing yards. Expect that same balance to continue under Thompson’s watch. Bucknell’s offense averaged 24.5 points per game last season, its highest figure since 2004. The Bison have seen their scoring average go up each year since 2005 and their 269 total points last season were just three shy of eighth place on the program’s all-time list.

QUARTERBACK

Landis is comfortable with his quarterback situation for 2009. Senior Marcello Trigg was in the midst of an outstanding campaign where he was on pace to become just the second Bison quarterback in more than a decade to throw for more than 2,000 yards before injuring his knee at Holy Cross last November. The two-year starter completed 104 of 155 passes for 1,438 yards and 13 touchdowns and was among the most accurate quarterbacks in the country. He missed spring practice, but spent countless hours on campus this summer and is expected to be healthy this fall when he should reclaim his starting position. C.J. Hopson shared time with the sincegraduated Andrew Lair following Trigg’s injury Quarterbacks () No. Name 7 Burke Batten 11 Matt Harbin 13 Kyle Hoppy 9 C.J.

and impressed in his two starts, leading the Bison to a fourth-quarter comeback and a victory over Fordham in the season finale. Hopson completed 38 of 65 passes for 390 yards and three touchdowns in his limited action. “I think we are in a good situation at quarterback,” said Landis. “We have two good quarterbacks and certainly Marcello is the starter coming off of last season.” Among the quarterbacks who will provide depth and challenge both Trigg and Hopson are sophomores Matt Harbin, Burke Batten and David Noshay, who were part of a talented group of rookie quarterbacks last fall. With Trigg missing spring practice, each of the youngsters earned plenty of reps and each improved immensley. “I think all four (sophomore) quarterbacks are capable,” commented Landis. “Batten, Harbin and Noshay all made great strides during the spring, but Hopson is ahead of them at this point.”

RUNNING BACK

Like most positions, Bucknell returns a large stable of running backs, led by All-Patriot Leaguer A.J. Kizekai. Kizekai and Josh Lee, both seniors, were the starting slotbacks last season, while junior fullback Ryan Smith saw significant time, but missed the final four games with an injury. Bucknell will return every running back that carried the ball in 2008 except hard-running fullback Kevin Mullen, who graduated in May after rushing for 190 yards last year and more th 700 in his career. than Kizekai, who led the team in rushing for th second consecutive year, was also an effithe ci cient receiver out of the backfield, catching 27 ba for 383 yards and one touchdown to rank balls se second on the Bison. A two-time First Team Al All-Patriot League selection as a kick returner, K Kizekai was honored with a second-team honor as a running back last year. Jamil Crews will shift from slotback to f fu fullback to help make up for the loss of Mullen, w while speedy Rashod Bumpers, who missed al of last season after starting 10 games as a all so sophomore in 2007, will make a return to the lin lineup. Marlon Woods also joins the running Running Backs () No. Name 20 Isaih Bell 40 Brandon Besant 23 Rashod Bumpers 34 Jamil Crews 25 John Gallagher 36 Alex Iwaskiw 22 A.J.

backs corps after playing on the defensive side of the ball as a freshman in 2007 and at wide receiver last year. “It’s nice to see we have everyone who rushed for any yards for us back,” commented Landis. “It’s been that way for a couple of years. A.J. has started for two-and-one-half years, Pulgrano and Lee have played a lot and Rashod Bumpers is back. That’s a real deep group and there will be great competition. We just have to get everybody reps.”

WIDE RECEIVER

After years where the casual fan would barely notice the Bison wide receivers, Shaun Pasternak took to the new wrinkles in the offense and had a breakout year last fall, causing everyone around the Patriot League to take notice. He was a Second Team All-Patriot League selection after breaking the Bucknell singleseason record with 1,083 yards. The 6-3 Clarks Summit, Pa., native also broke the program record for touchdown catches in a season with 12 and enters his junior campaign with 14 career touchdown receptions, just four shy of tying the Bucknell standard. He came one catch shy of the program record and was among the nation’s leaders in receiving yards and receptions per game. “I expect Shaun to be a big-play guy for us, like he has been,” said Landis about his receiver who registered a Bucknell record-tying five 100-yard games last year. “He is so effective for Receivers () No. Name 16 Cale Cadman 82 Trevor Dombeck 88 Shaun Pasternak 87 Brandon Pinnock 98 Sandeep Prasad 28 Brandon Simmons 85 Gabe Skwara 83 Nathan Zurisko * at defensive back

u in running after the catch and that’s someus thing we haven’t had in the past. Shaun breaks tackles and makes things happen. He will continue his growth this spring and I think he can get even better.” Like at running back, Bucknell returns all of its receivers from last year except one, as Alex Odenbach graduated in May. Cale Cadman, who started opposite Pasternak last fall, will look to improve on his 13 catches for 96 yards. Additionally, Brandon Simmons, who is moving to wide receiver after starting in the defensive backfield last year, will provide depth. “Brandon (Simmons) moved to a position where we have some really good players,” explained Landis. “As spring practice and his transition progressed he did some really good things and caught some passes, including at least one in the spring game. He is going to add depth at receiver for us and really push the other guys. Even if we think we are set at a position, it is never bad to have a guy come in and push them to get better.” Sophomores Nathan Zurisko and Gabe Skwara didn’t see much time in 2008, but both were highly touted before landing at Bucknell.

OFFENSIVE LINE

The offensive line was one of Bucknell’s biggest question marks heading into 2008 as the Bison had to replace all five starters, but a young group of Nick McLeod, Ian Dal Bello, James Phelan, Anthony Carter and Stephen Ed Edwards started the final 10 games of the seaso son. Edwards, the lone senior among the unit, is the only one gone. “To start two freshmen, a sophomore and a ju junior on the offensive line and win five games an and be productive offensively gives us a great sp springboard into this year,” beamed Landis. “I th think this is the best group of offensive linem men since I have been here.” While a strong group returns, reinforcem ments are on their way in the form of Hesh-

Paul Brazinski, who started last year’s season opener, will also compete for playing time. “Not only are we excited about the starters that return, but there are four more guys right there that can be very good players,” mentioned Landis.

DEFENSE

Andrew Cohen will return for his third season as the defensive coordinator for the Bison. Last year Bucknell saw a slight improvement on its defensive numbers from Cohen’s first season in 2007. Despite a young defense that featured no more than three senior starters and no upperclassmen in the backfield, the team cut down on its points allowed, rushing yards allowed and passing yards allowed from 2007. The defense limited opponents to less than 22 points per game in the five wins in 2008. With the return of eight starters and a healthy Sam Nana-Sinkam for the whole year,

the Bison defense, which is now a veteran unit with seven juniors and seniors listed as starters on the preseason depth chart, should continue its improvement in 2009.

DEFENSIVE LINE

Will Braaf, Robert De La Rosa and Todd Rinaldo were the primary starters on the defensive line last year and Braaf and De La Rosa return in 2009. Kyle Boline and John von Paris earned more playing time as the season wore on, with Boline earning three starts at defensive end in the season’s final four games. De La Rosa had a strong freshman season with 34 tackles, a team-high five tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries. Braaf, who is the only senior among the defensive line two-deep entering the season, recorded 16 tackles, two tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and recovered two fumbles last fall. Landis expects Michael Tonge, who played a significant amount in a reserve role late in the season, to challenge for a starting spot at nose guard, allowing classmate De La Rosa to move back to defensive end.

d as Landis would like to build up the team's do depth at defensive line despite having five returning veterans that have taken plenty of reps.

LINEBACKER

Bucknell’s most experienced group could be its linebackers with four seniors — Brigham Farrand, Greg Jones, Sam Nana-Sinkam and Casey Williams — battling for starting positions. Jones and Nana-Sinkam are returning starters, while Williams and Farrand, along with Travis Nissley, will be looking to become full-time starters after making cameo appearances with the first unit over the years. In addition to experience, there is a significant amount of leadership at linebacker as Jones and Williams shared the team’s Captains Award with Kevin Mullen and A.J. Kizekai in 2008. Nana-Sinkam, who missed 2007 after undergoing shoulder surgery, was having an outstanding year and leading the Patriot League in tackles when he went down with a leg injury during the first half of a game at Georgetown last October. He missed the final five games and still ranked third on the Bison with 62 tackles.

“Sam is a great leader,” praised Landis. “He is a great football player and I would love to see him stay healthy and produce a great senior season. There is no question he is an all-league player.” Jones will enter his third year starting this fall coming off a season in which he registered a team-high 89 tackles. Williams is currently slated to start, but Farrand, a two-year starter who is moving to linebacker from safety, will push for the starting position. Williams, who is also a valuable special teams player on kickoff coverage, finished with 41 tackles last year, while Farrand totaled 39, including a careerhigh 18 against Colgate. Also in the mix at linebacker is Nissley, who started the second half of last year in place of Nana-Sinkam. Nissley was fourth on the team with 55 tackles last year and has exactly 100 in his two-year career. At the “stud” position, a hybrid defensive line/linebacker, Landis must replace two-year starter Marques Morgan. Spring practice standout Tyler Anderson is the frontrunner for the position, while Tim Bolte could challenge. “We finally found the right position for Tyler (Anderson),” said Landis. “He would win the most improved award if we gave one out after the spring. He plays so hard and stood out when we looked back at spring practice on the defensive side of the ball.”

DEFENSIVE BACK

Bucknell had plenty of youth in the defensive backfield last year, but that should pay off in 2009. Of the 44 possible starts, 32 were by freshmen and sophomores, and no seniors earned a start. Gone is Brandon Simmons, who moved over to the offensive side of the ball as a wide receiver, but senior Jason Davis returns after leaving the team four games into the 2008 campaign.

year are exex mainly started at free safety last year, pected to start at the corners, but Landis has mentioned he might keep White at safety as well. “By the end of the year Bryce was playing like a sophomore and not a freshman. He has tremendous potential,” raved Landis. “Ahkiel has the ability to play safety or corner and has started at both positions. He did a nice job at corner during the spring and we have to prioritize that position and make sure we are set there. We will see what our best combination is as preseason practice moves along." At safety, Rob Gerlach, who was the only defensive player to start all 11 games last year, should continue to hold down his starting position, while Sean Rafferty could break into the lineup. Veteran Josh Gornto and youngster Mike Cardinute will provide depth. While there are a number of faces in the defensive backfield, Landis still expects to give freshmen Donald Quarles and Terrance FitzSimmons a chance to show what they can do on the field.

He was a running back in high school and is very athletic. Andrew didn’t have the opportu tunity to gain game experience like Drew, so we w will have to get him in that mode during the pr preseason. “The ideal situation for a specialist position is to bring them in behind a senior to learn for a year and then as a sophomore they get their opportunity.” While the Bison lost both their kickers, they do have a guy that will torment opponents’ kickers in A.J. Kizekai. A two-time First Team All-Patriot League selection as a return specialist, Kizekai already owns the top two spots on Bucknell’s single-season return yardage list and six of the top 10 single-game marks. He also had a record 100-yard return for a touchdown against Lafayette last year and is the Bucknell career record-holder in return yards with 2,107, mainly accumulated in just the last two years. Kizekai may also see some time returning punts this year, although Landis will also use Shaun Pasternak and Marlon Woods there. Pasternak filled in for an injured Nolan Applegate late in 2008 and returned four punts for 18 yards, while Woods worked throughout the spring on fielding punts.

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

BISON NOTEBOOK THE 124TH SEASON FOOTBALL

OF

BISON ON

Bucknell will begin its 124th season of football against Duquesne on Sept. 5 in Pittsburgh, Pa. Bucknell and Duquesne are no strangers to opening-day meetings. This will be the eighth seasonopening game between the two in-state rivals since 1997. The Bison have won six of the previous seven, including a 48-42 shootout last season at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The 2009 Bucknell schedule will resemble the 2008 slate with 10 of the 11 teams remaining. Only Hofstra departed and was replaced by Penn, a squad the Bison have faced 32 times, including four times under the direction of Tim Landis. After opening the campaign on the road, Bucknell will play three of its next four games on its home turf inside Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The team’s lone bye week comes directly in the middle of the schedule and before the heart of Patriot League play. The Bison will play six games prior to their Oct. 17 idle week and five afterwards. Perhaps the toughest stretch for Bucknell will be a three-game road trip against Patriot League opponents in late October and November. The Bison will travel to Lafayette, Fordham and defending Patriot League champion Colgate in successive weeks before coming back home to celebrate Senior Day against Holy Cross. Bucknell has not faced a three-game road trip since late in the 2005 season when it was swept by Lafayette, Fordham and Colgate.

THOMPSON, LINTAL TAKE ON NEW RESPONSIBILITIES During the offeseason, head coach Tim Landis announced that longtime aides Brent Thompson and Matt Lintal would be taking on new responsibilities in 2009. Thompson, who will be in his seventh year on staff, will serve as the offensive coordinator while continuing to oversee the offensive line. He takes over offensive coordinator duties from Harold Nichols, who left last winter to become the head coach at his alma mater, Presbyterian College. Lintal, who is also in his seventh year with the Bison, will now coach

the offensive offensive backs, wide receivers and coordinate the passing game.

OTHER COACHING CHANGES In addition to the promotions of Thompson and Lintal, Landis added five new members to his staff. Ed Lynett, the former defensive coordinator at Iona, Mike O’Connor, the son of former Bucknell assistant football coach Mike O’Connor and the grandson of former Bucknell head coach Fred Prender, Sam Perryman, a 2004 Lehigh graduate who spent the last four years at Penn State, and Jason Sweet, who will fill the newly created administrative coordinator position, joined the program. Additionally, John Field, who was the team’s strength and conditioning coach in 2008, added duties as a defensive assistant coach to his list of responsibilities.

PASSING GAME

TO

REMAIN

While Brent Thompson will be taking over as offensive coordinator for the departed Harold Nichols, expect the Bison spread option offense to continue to feature a balanced mix of passing and running. In the first five years of Tim Landis’ tenure as head coach, the Bison running game dominated the play-calling, but last year Bucknell threw for more yards than it rushed for for the first time since 2002. Year Rushing Yards Passing Yards 2003 2908 1545 2004 2770 1119 2005 2277 900 2006 2587 889 2007 1905 1310 2008 1616 2063 Total 14,063 7,826

BISON ROSTER FEATURES PLENTY OF HOMEGROWN TALENT While Bucknell’s roster features players from 23 states and Canada, Pennsylvania dominates with 26 of the Bison’s 94 players hailing from the Keystone State. Those Pennsylvanians will have plenty of opportunities to play in front of friends and family with eight of the team’s 11 games scheduled to be played in their home state this fall. The other three contests w be played in neighboring New York. will Among the locals are several players from close pr proximity to Bucknell.

AIMING

FOR

.500

Bucknell has posted back-to-back losing seasons for fo the first time since 1993 and 1994. The Bison en ended that streak with a solid 7-4 mark (4-1 Patriot

36

League) in 1995. The following season the Bison won five of their final six games and claimed the only Patriot League title in program history. Bucknell has not finished below .500 three consecutive years since 1991-94 and has posted at least a .500 mark 10 times in the last 14 years.

NUMBER CHANGE Only one of Bucknell’s returning players has changed his number since last year. Senior Sam NanaSinkam will wear No. 6 instead of No. 58 this year in honor of teammate A.J. Pompliano, who is serving in Iraq. Pompliano wore No. 6 before being called into duty last fall.

POSITION CHANGES Just three Bison have changed their positions since last year, and all three involve the defensive backfield. Senior Brandon Simmons, who started at cornerback much of last season, has moved to the offensive side of the ball as a wide receiver. Classmate Ahkiel White, who was a regular starter at safety last fall, will begin preseason practice at cornerback, although Landis has suggested he might move back to safety. Another senior, Brigham Farrand, will move to linebacker from the safety position.

ALL-AMERICA HONOR

FOR

WHITE

Junior DB Ahkiel White was named a Preseason All-American by Consensus Draft Services. He earned an honorable mention nod and was one of just seven Patriot League players cited. A total of 183 players from Football Championship Series teams were recognized. White appeared in all 11 games last year, starting 10, and posted 46 tackles to rank fifth on the team. The two-year letterwinner led the Bison, and ranked tied for sixth in the Patriot League, with two interceptions, picking off passes in home contests against Hofstra and Colgate. White will enter 2009 with 98 tackles in his twoyear career, while his four career interceptions place him nearly halfway to joining Bucknell's top-10 list.

ALTERNATING GAMES Last year, Bucknell’s schedule featured a unique twist as the Bison alternated home and away games throughout the campaign. That streak of alternating games actually started Oct. 27, 2007 against Holy Cross and won’t end until Bucknell hosts Marist and Georgetown on back-to-back Saturdays this fall, a streak of 19 consecutive games.

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL FRESHMAN DRAFTED BY BALTIMORE ORIOLES Freshman QB Kyle Hoppy, a native of Orchard Park, N.Y., was drafted in the 25th round of this past June’s Major League Baseball Draft by the Baltimore Orioles, but elected to attend Bucknell rather than pursue a professional career. A pitcher on the baseball diamond, Hoppy will be a member of the Bison baseball squad in the spring. The last Bucknell player to be a member of both Bison squads was K Will Carney, who was a relief pitcher from 2006-08.

SEAN CONOVER NOW WITH DETROIT LIONS Bucknell alum Sean Conover ’06 was signed by the Tennessee Titans in May of 2006. He was activated from the team’s practice squad in late November 2006 and the former All-Patriot Leaguer started and played the majority of the game at right defensive end in the squad’s stunning come-from-behind victory over the New York Giants. He had a solid game, making four tackles (two solo) and deflected an Eli Manning pass in the second half. Conover’s debut came in a memorable victory for the Titans, who trailed 21-0 in the fourth quarter before rallying to win 24-21. Conover, wearing No. 77, played in the final six games of the 2006 season and finished with nine tackles, and in 2007 he played in five games and totaled three tackles, including one in a Monday night win over New Orleans. In 2008, Conover left the Titans and appeared on the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad. During the offseason he joined the Detroit Lions’ roster and is expected to begin the season in the Motor City. Conover finished his senior season at Bucknell with 44 tackles, including nine for loss and three sacks. Despite playing tight end his entire freshman campaign, he finished his career with 17.5 sacks, tied for fifth-most in Bucknell history. He also totaled nine career forced fumbles. Conover moved to defensive end prior to his sophomore year and started all 34 games there over his final three seasons. He was a Second Team AllAmerica selection after a junior year in which he had 10.5 sackes and 18 tackles for loss.

OPPONENTS Bucknell’s 11 opponents posted a combined 57-61 record in 2008. Four opponents finished the season with above .500 records, while nine of the 11 won at least four games.

NO PENALTIES Bucknell was the least-penalized team in the nation in 2008, marking the second straight year it accomplished that feat. The Bison averaged just 3.73 penalties per game. The only other team to commit fewer penalties than Bucknell’s 41 was Princeton, which was flagged 40 times.

BISON NOTEBOOK Bucknell will have its most experienced team in a number of years. The Bison return 39 lettermen and 17 starters (9 offense, 8 defense). Of the seven graduated starters, two were kickers. Bucknell’s roster has a total of 330 career starts entering 2009. Career Starts by Position Quarterbacks: 25 Running Backs: 52 Wide Receivers: 51 Offensive Linemen: 62 Defensive Backs: 50 Linebackers: 63 Defensive Linemen: 27

LONGEVITY

FOR

LANDIS

Head coach Tim Landis will be on the Bison sidelines for a seventh season this fall. He will tie Tom Gadd, Al Humphreys, Robert Odell and Carl Snavely for fourth place on Bucknell’s all-time longevity list. Landis will also likely pass Tom Gadd for fourth place on the program’s games coached list. Landis enters the season nine games behind Gadd. Additionally, with three wins, Landis will move into sole possession of seventh place on the all-time victories list. He begins the season with 28 wins, placing him just two behind Humphreys. Landis is more than halfway to the program record of 48, jointly held by Gadd and Robert Curtis. (for more information on coaching records, see page 66)

RECORD WATCH Senior A.J. Kizekai enters the 2009 campaign already listed first among all Bison in career kick return yardage (2,107), but is poised to possibly break a few more records in his final season. He needs just four kick returns to vault over Dan Scocca and into first place on that list, while he currently ranks fourth in all-purpose yards, 1,586 behind Rich Lemon. Kizekai has totaled better than 1,800 all-purpose yards each of the last two years. Kizekai is not the only Bison set to break some records. Senior QB Marcello Trigg and junior WR Shaun Pasternak could as well. Trigg, who threw for 13 touchdowns in an injury-shortended 2008, needs 18 touchdown passes to overtake Scott Auchenbach’s standard. Additionally, with 2,071 yards, Trigg would tie Auchenbach’s passing yards record and he needs less than 1,800 yards of total offense to pass Auchenbach in that category. Coming off a record-breaking sophomore campaign, Pasternak is now within reach of the career receiving yards and receiving touchdowns records. He needs just over 1,000 yards to pass Tom Mitchell’s receiving yards standard and only five touchdown grabs to overtake Mitchell and Lester Erb, who each caught 18 in his career.

BISON GOOD SPORTS In 2006, the Bucknell Department of Athletics and Recreation announced its new “Bison Good Sports!” campaign, a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. The objective of the campaign, according to Bucknell director of athletics and recreation John Hardt “is to thank fans for the tremendous energy and enthusiasm they bring to each Bucknell athletics contest while also empowering them as caretakers of the collegiate gameday experience. While the extremes of unwanted behavior and its impact on home and visiting fans are not commonplace at Bison athletics events, Bucknell and our visiting teams ask for our fans’ help in keeping their support of our teams positive and cheer with positive encouragement, rather than supporting an atmosphere of intimidation that attempts to degrade opposing players and teams. We hope that our fans will continue to join our players, coaches and staff in helping all spectators find creative and ingenious ways to positively support our Bucknell student-athletes.” In addition to the announcement of the “Bison Good Sports Campaign,” the department of athletics and recreation also focused specific student-athlete programming to discuss the role student-athletes and coaches play in fostering an environment of good sporting conduct. “The Speaking Specialists,” leaders in the field in providing communications, leadership, speech and sportsmanship training to student-athletes at all levels came to campus last September. The comprehensive, interactive program was designed to generate thought and discussion among student-athletes facing the top issues of today. Specific emphasis was given toward practicing good sportsmanship both on and off the playing field and representing their school, team and themselves in a positive light in everything from helping in recruiting to job interviews.

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

THE BOB ODELL HEAD FOOTBALL COACH Tim Landis returns for his seventh seaso season as the Bob Odell Head Coach of Bucknell Football in 2009. Landis is now the third-longest-tenured coach in the Patriot League, behind only Colgate’s Dick Biddle Bid and Lafayette’s Frank Tavani. Bucknell has been .500 or better in three of Landis’ dis six years in Lewisburg, including a 7-4 season in 2004. Last year, another youthful Bison team finished with a solid 5-6 record. The season ended n on a strong note when Bucknell defeated defending Patriot League champion Fordham Fordha on an overtime field goal. Having H i already l d resurrected t d programs at Davidson and St. Mary’s, Landis arrived at Bucknell in December 2002 to take over a football program that was undergoing a trying period. As Landis’ first spring practice approached, the Bison were still coping with the death of legendary head coach Tom Gadd, and they were still tasting the bitterness of a 2-9 record that ended a school-record run of seven straight winning seasons. But under Landis’ leadership, pride was quickly restored in the program, and the Bison turned in two very good seasons, first going 6-6 in 2003 then improving to 7-4 in 2004. Bucknell placed third in the competitive Patriot League standings both seasons. Landis has coached both an All-American (DL Sean Conover, now a member of the Detroit Lions) and an Academic All-American (OL Justin Gibson, DB David Frisbey) during his tenure at Bucknell. Upon his hiring, Landis, 45, brought to the Bison football program an impressive cache of head coaching experience at the Division I-AA level. He became Bucknell’s 25th head football coach since the program’s inception in 1883. “I have worked a very long time in this profession to earn a tremendous opportunity such as this,” said Landis at the time of his hiring. “To coach at a quality educational institution like Bucknell that also has a long and proud history of football is the culmination of a lifelong dream of mine.” “I am pleased to have Tim Landis continue to lead the Bison football program,” said Hardt in announcing a new multi-year contract for Landis in November 2006. “He has a proven track record of coaching winning teams throughout his career, and during his tenure at Bucknell has recruited true scholar-athletes who are quality young men on and off the field. Coach Landis is determined to bring additional Patriot League championships to Bucknell, and I look forward to working with him in achieving this important goal.” Following a seven-year tenure as head coach at Davidson College, Landis spent the previous three seasons building a winning program at St. Mary’s (Calif.) College. In both positions, he garnered national accolades for turning modestly successful programs into winners. Upon his arrival at St. Mary’s in the spring of 2000, the Gaels had been just 4-17 over the previous two seasons. Landis quickly forged a 6-5 season in his first year at the Moraga, Calif., school, marking the program’s best one-year turnaround since football was reinstated at St. Mary’s in 1967. The Gaels finished 6-5 again in 2001 and 6-6 in 2002, and Landis was honored as the Division I-AA Independent Coach of the Year after both seasons. Landis helped Davidson to a school-record eight victories in both 1998 and 1999, while laying the groundwork for a perfect 10-0 season the year after his departure to St. Mary’s. Prior to Landis’ arrival, Davidson had enjoyed just one winning campaign since 1980, but the Wildcats promptly went 6-4 in 1993 under the then first-year coach, and they would go on to enjoy four winning seasons in

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

THE BOB ODELL HEAD FOOTBALL COACH Macon College in 1986 1986. A First Team All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference honoree both as a quarterback in football and a pitcher in baseball, Landis was inducted into the Randolph-Macon Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000. He was the ODAC Baseball Player of the Year in 1986, and he also earned the school’s Compton Award for excellence in academics and athletics. In May 2002, he was inducted into The Hun School’s Hall of Fame. Landis took his initial steps into the coaching profession in 1986, when he remained at Randolph-Macon to coach his alma mater’s wide receivers. In 1988, he began a three-year stint as head football and baseball coach at Morrisville (Pa.) High School, where he led the grid squad to an 8-2 record, a state ranking and coach of the year honors by the Bucks County Courier Times, the Bicentennial Athletic League and the Independence Football League. He also guided the baseball team to a conference crown. During his final two years at the school, he served as director of athletics. Landis returned to the collegiate level in 1991, when he was hired as an assistant at Davidson. Off the field, Landis is a member of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), where he serves as the chairman of that organization’s Division FCS All-America Selection Committee. He also served as a member of the FCS AFCA Board of Directors Executive Committee. Landis and his wife Karen, who works at Bucknell in the alumni relations and career services office, have four children — 17-year-old son T.J., 8-year-old daughter Jordan, 6-year-old son Jack, and 3-year old son Charlie.

THE BOB ODELL ENDOWMENT his seven years at the North Carolina institution. Landis, who has a career head coaching record of 81-91-1, was very familiar with Bucknell and the Patriot League, having coached against league teams at both Davidson and St. Mary’s. The Bison and Gaels met in each of the two prior seasons, with St. Mary’s winning 23-22 in overtime in 2002 and Bucknell capturing a 38-6 decision in 2001. St. Mary’s 2000 team gained acclaim for its victories over nationally ranked Colgate and a talented Towson squad. He also posted a win over Patriot League foe Georgetown during his stint at Davidson. “Having so many roots in the East, I have followed the Patriot League for a long time and it is becoming one of the premier conferences in Division I-AA football,” Landis said upon his arrival at Bucknell. “Just look at the success that Patriot League teams have had in the I-AA playoffs. Every school in the league has academic prestige and football prestige. That is a great combination.” Landis’ trademark spread option offensive attack put up 2,908 ground yards in 2003, missing the school record by just a single yard while finishing 10th nationally in rushing offense. In 2003 the Bison were eighth nationally, averaging 251.8 rushing yards per game, and in 2006 they were fifth at 235.2 yards per contest. In 2008, Landis integrated more passing into the Bucknell offense and junior-to-be Shaun Pasternak broke the school record with 1,083 receiving yards. Overall, the Bison totaled 2,063 yards through the air, one of the top-10 totals in program history. In his first season at St. Mary’s the Gaels ranked fourth nationally in rushing at 309.5 yards per game and 24th nationally in total offense at 434.4. The team broke school records for total yards (4778) and touchdowns (50) in a season. Defensively, the Gaels were equally opportunistic, ranking 12th in Division I-AA in turnovers forced (32). St. Mary’s also ranked fourth in the country in rushing offense in 2001 and fifth in 2002. At St. Mary’s, Landis coached an Associated Press First Team All-American in defensive end Travis White, and he mentored a total of seven Verizon Academic All-District honorees in three years. In his final season at Davidson, the Wildcats defense led the nation with a school-record 28 interceptions, including eight by All-American Ryan Crawford, a former assistant on the Bison staff. Landis’ special teams unit blocked a Division I-AA record 13 kicks in 1999, and the defense allowed only 101 rushing yards per game to rank 13th in the nation. In 1998, Davidson ranked first nationally in pass efficiency defense, second in scoring defense (a stingy 10.4 points per game allowed), fourth in total defense (231.9 yards per game) and 12th in rushing defense. Landis originally joined the Davidson staff as its defensive line coach in 1991, and two years later, at the age of 29, he became one of the nation’s youngest head football coaches. A native of Yardley, Pa., and a 1982 graduate of The Hun School in Princeton, N.J., Landis went on to earn a bachelor of arts degree in English from Randolph-

Bob Odell is escorted to the monument that was erected in his honor in 2005.

Bucknell trustee emeritus Norman E. Garrity, a member of the Class of 1962, and his wife Mary Lou Roppel Garrity, a member of the Class of 1964, have established the Bob Odell Head Football Coaching Endowment. The Garritys’ significant gift to the university permanently endows the head coach position for football, along with providing funds for the program. Garrity played under Coach Odell and was a member of the 1960 team that won the Lambert Cup title as the best team in the Eastern United States. He also served as an assistant football coach during the 1963 season. Garrity has been a member of Bucknell’s Board of Trustees since 1995. In 2004 he received the alumni Athlete Achievement Award, given to former Bucknell athletes who have achieved success in their chosen profession. Garrity served in a variety of manufacturing and engineering management positions with Corning Inc. In 2003 he received the Loyalty to Bucknell Award for extraordinary service to Bucknell as a Trustee, member of Reunion Gift committees and volunteer for the Career Development Center. Garrity was also awarded the Bud Ranck Award for his service and devotion to the football program. In addition to the Odell endowment, he funded the Garrity Family Scholarship and the state-of-the-art artificial surface for the football field. Prior to the 2005 season finale against Holy Cross, the Bucknell football program and Bison Athletics honored Odell’s service and friendship to Bucknell with a special monument, which was unveiled in the closed end of Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Odell is a member of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. As head football coach from 1958-64, Odell took over a struggling program and compiled a 37-26 record. He led the Bison to college football prominence, winning Lambert Cup titles in 1960 and 1964 while producing five straight winning seasons and a 32-13 record from 1960-64. An All-American himself as a halfback at Penn, Odell won the Maxwell Trophy and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1943. He later served as head coach at Penn from 1965-70 and at Williams from 1971-86. His overall coaching record stood at 136-104-5. A second-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1944, Odell served as a communications officer in the U.S. Navy during World War II before starting his football coaching career. He began as an assistant coach at Yale, then moved on to Temple and Wisconsin. Odell retired to Lewisburg and volunteered his time and football expertise back to the program on the field, in the radio booth and as a loyal supporter of the Bison football squad. And, thanks to the generosity of Norm Garrity, he will forever have his name associated with Bucknell’s endowed head coaching position — The Bob Odell Head Football Coach.”

Andrew Cohen, a 16-year college football coaching veteran who was part of Bucknell's 1996 Patriot League championship staff, returned to Bucknell in the spring of 2007 as defensive coordinator. Cohen was a member of Tom Gadd’s staff at Bucknell from 1995-99. He coached the defensive line in 1995, 1996 and 1999 and the outside linebackers in 1997 and 1998. At both positions, Cohen coached some of the best defensive players in recent Bucknell history, including an All-American and Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year in Ed Burman, who broke the school record with 14.5 sacks in 1995. Cohen worked with a Bison defense that set a school record with 47 sacks in 1999 and ranked No. 1 in the league in total defense four out of five years. His tenure at Bucknell was highlighted by the 1996 Patriot League title and a record-setting 10-1 campaign the following year. Known as an excellent recruiter during his days in Lewisburg, Cohen also served as assistant strength and conditioning coordinator. In March of 2000, Cohen left Bucknell to become the defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Stony Brook. As the only full-time defensive coach on the staff, he helped lead the Seawolves to an 8-2 record in 2002, buoyed by a defense that ranked No. 3 nationally in points allowed and No. 6 in yards allowed. From 2003-05 Cohen served as defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at Fordham, one of Bucknell’s Patriot League rivals. Working under head coach Ed Foley, a Bucknell graduate, for the last two of those seasons, Cohen mentored a number of all-conference defensive linemen, including Aki Jones who went on to play with the Washington Redskins. In 2006, Cohen was the defensive line coach at Columbia under first-year head coach Norries Wilson, who was also on the Bucknell coaching staff from 1995-98. In 2006 the Lions finished with a 5-5 record, its best in 10 years, while leading the Ivy League in scoring defense (16.3), takeaways (25) and defensive touchdowns (6). In 2008, Cohen’s second year as defensive coordinator, the Bison made a drastic improvement as opponents recorded nearly 50 yards less per game than in Cohen’s first season at the helm of the defense. A 1993 graduate of Marist College where he was a oneyear starter at linebacker, Cohen received a master’s degree from Stony Brook in December 1994. While pursuing the latter degree, he also got his start in coaching as a defensive line coach, video coordinator and strength and conditioning coordinator at Stony Brook. Cohen resides in Lewisburg with his wife, Bridget, and sons Seth and Kyle.

Brent Thompson is in his seventh season with the Bison coaching staff. During the offseason he was promoted to offensive coordinator and in 2009 will continue working with the offensive line, a duty he picked up in 2008. Thompson was tasked with breaking in a completely new starting line in 2008, as all five starters from the 2007 season finale did not return (four due to graduation, one to injury). This year, Thompson has the luxury of mentoring four returning offensive line starters after the young group impressed last fall. For the previous four seasons, Thompson coached the team’s quarterbacks and fullbacks. He developed Marcello Trigg into a starting QB midway through his freshman year, and in 2006 Thompson helped FB Josh DeStefano earn Second Team All-Patriot League honors after leading the team in rushing. Thompson in 2004 worked closely with record-setting quarterback Daris Wilson, who earned First Team All-Patriot League honors after rushing for 1,149 yards and 17 touchdowns. Wilson broke school records for rushing yards by a quarterback and pass completion percentage (.660). In 2002 as receivers coach Thompson helped the Bucknell wideouts make the successful transition to the spread option offense, while still maintaining the big-play explosiveness of the likes of Albert Marquardt and Nisan Trotter. Thompson came to Lewisburg from Northeastern University, where he served a two-year stint as running backs coach. In 2002 he helped lead the Huskies to an Atlantic 10 championship. Three of his backs rushed for at least 500 yards, including first team all-conference tailback Tim Gale. Thompson also coached Northeastern All-American L.J. McKanas, who broke the school’s career rushing record and was second in the nation in rushing in 2001. A two-year letterman as a defensive back for Norwich University in Northfield, Vt., Thompson graduated in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in peace, war and diplomacy. He broke into the college coaching profession the following fall at Dickinson College, where he served as a graduate assistant coach, working with the outside linebackers. In 2000, Thompson moved to Stony Brook University, tutoring the Seawolves’ wide receivers for one season. There, he was a member of the same staff as current Bison defensive coordinator Andrew Cohen. In the summer of 2007 Thompson was married to Tiffany Lebengood, who is a longtime member of the Bucknell athletic training staff.

• Seventh Sev Year at Bucknell Receivers • Quarterbacks/Wide Q Qu & Marshall ’03 • Franklin Fra

Matt Lintal returns for his seventh season with the Bison coaching staff in 2009, as he joins Brent Thompson as the longest-tenured assistants. He will work with the offensive backs and wide receivers while also coordinating the passing game. Lintal, who graduated from Franklin & Marshall University in May 2003, guided a strong group of wide receivers, led by record-breaking Shaun Pasternak, to an outstanding campaign in 2008. Pasternak set school records for receiving yards and touchdowns and fell one catch shy of the program single-season standard under Lintal’s watch. In 2009, Lintal will have a large number of talented receivers to work with as well as senior QB Marcello Trigg, who already ranks in the top 10 on Bucknell’s career yardage ledger. Lintal was a four-year starter at strong safety for F&M. He served as team captain as a senior and was a member of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) and the Athletic Honors Society. The State College, Pa., native earned a bachelor of arts degree in psychology, with a minor in religious studies. He made the Dean’s List at F&M seven times. Lintal was a 1999 graduate of State College High School, where he earned three letters each in football and track. Prior to his tenure at Bucknell he returned to his alma mater as a volunteer coach at preseason workouts. He also coached a youth football camp for children aged 9 to 13 at Franklin & Marshall. Lintal and his wife, Jackie, reside in Mifflinburg.

One of three coaches on the Bison staff who graduated from current Patriot League schools, Ed Lynett joined the Bison staff following four years as the defensive coordinator at Iona, which dropped its program following the 2008 campaign. Lynett helped the Gaels defensive unit become one of the best in the country during his tenure, during which he also oversaw the defensive backs. In 2007, Iona ranked third nationally in total defense, allowing just 271.5 yards per game. The Gaels also ranked 15th in run defense and 24th in scoring defense. In 2006, the defense yielded only 232.0 yards per game, the third-lowest figure in the country. Iona was especially stingy against the run, allowing 66.9 yards per game to rank third in the country. Lynett, who coached 16 all-conference players and a pair of Mid-Major All-Americans at Iona, served as the acting head coach against Columbia during the 2006 season. Lynett arrived at Iona after two years as an assistant at Lehigh (2003-2004). With the Mountain Hawks, Lynett coached the defensive line and assisted with special teams. In addition to his duties with the varsity team, Lynett served as the head coach of the junior varsity squad. Prior to his stint at Lehigh, Lynett served as a graduate assistant at Colorado State where he worked with the defensive line and defensive backs. Lynett also spent five seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Scranton Prep. Lynett was a running back and defensive back at Fordham. He was a three-year letterman and graduated with a degree in marketing/managerial accounting in 1992.

MIKE O'CONNOR • First F Year at Bucknell • Defensive D Line • Lafayette L ’04

A Lewisburg native and a former quarterback at Lafayette, Mike O’Connor joined the Bucknell staff as an assistant coach in the winter of 2009.

The strength and conditioning program at Bucknell received a major boost in 2003 with the completion of the Krebs Family Fitness Center and Berger Family Weight Room, as well as the hiring of Jerry Shreck as the program’s first full-time strength and conditioning coordinator. A 1996 graduate of East Stroudsburg University with a degree in movement studies and exercise science, Shreck is charged with implementing detailed daily strength and conditioning routines for each of Bucknell’s programs. The general philosophy of the Bison strength program is year-round periodization with a high-intensity base, supplemented with functional and sport-specific training. Training programs for most teams will employ explosion techniques with power bands and pliometrics. The ultimate goal of the strength and conditioning program is the prevention of injuries and training athletes to their peak physical condition (as opposed to training bodybuilders). A native of nearby Montgomery, Pa., Shreck had served as the athletic trainer for the Bucknell men’s basketball team for three seasons prior to his current appointment. He is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the National Council of Strength and Fitness. John Field, a 1999 graduate of Texas Lutheran, is in his second year as the football strength and conditioning coach and also assists with the defensive line. Shreck is also assisted by former Bucknell head football coach Bob Curtis. Bucknell varsity student-athletes receive regular training from Shreck and/or a member s in a private area of the Berger Family Weight of his staff Room while Bison football players also take advantage of Room, the To Tom Gadd Weight Room located in the home locker room aat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

The philosophy of the Bucknell sports medicine team is a commitment to providing the best care for Bison student-athletes. Its injury and rehab protocols are developed to help decrease athletics-related injuries, increase injury recovery time, and combine strength and flexibility, endurance and sport-specific functional activities. Every injured Bucknell student-athlete is attended by an athletic trainer at the time the injury occurs. Each of Bucknell’s professional staff trainers are state and nationally certified, and they are assisted on-site by a quality team of student athletic trainers. The care for all Bucknell students ultimately falls under the direction of Dr. Donald Stechschulte, the director of the University’s student health service. Athletes sustaining serious injuries requiring immediate attention in a hospital setting are sent to the emergency room of the Evangelical Community Hospital, located just two miles from the Bucknell campus.

Bucknell wrapped up its 2009 spring practice campaign the final weekend of April with a productive outing at a sunny and warm Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Among the many highlights was a 74-yard touchdown catch and run by Cale Cadman and strong defensive play by Casey Williams, who made a number of tackles and intercepted the very first pass in the scrimmage. The scrimmage consisted of nine periods, each representing different phases of a football game from special teams to the two-minute drill to an overtime period. “I liked that the guys came out ready to play,” commented Bucknell head coach Tim Landis. “A casual observer might not see exactly what we were trying to accomplish, but I was happy.” Four freshman quarterbacks — Burke Batten, Matt Harbin, C.J. Hopson, David Noshay — took the snaps for the Bison and most of the situations were performed with the Bucknell first-team offense facing the first-team defense, while the second teams went up against each other. “All four freshman quarterbacks had their moments,” mentioned Landis. “None of them have played a lot, so it was nice to see them on the field.” After a brief warmup period, the scrimmage began with the offense starting in a goal line situation and needing the score, which it did twice in three chances. Williams picked off Hopson's first pass and returned it approximately 15 yards, although Hopson later found Cadman for a touchdown and Batten scrambled through the right side of the offensive line to score on a second-and-goal play from the eight. In the next phase, the offense took control of the ball at its own 5-yard line and had to convert a first down. Batten found Jamil Crews for an 11-yard completion on third down on the first set of downs, while Noshay scrambled for a first down on the second set after two plays earlier having a 30-yard run wiped out due to a penalty. During the first drive, linebacker Sam Nana-Sinkam, who missed the second half of the 2008 campaign with an injury, was in on three consecutive tackles. “I was impressed with the offense in the coming out drive with both the first and second teams executing,” said Landis. “The defense played better in the drive portion and came up with a turnover in the red zone. They also pressured the quarterback well.” Next up was the first of two drive the ball phases where the offense took possession at is own 30 and had to march down the field and score a touchdown. Each of the four quarterbacks got a chance at this drill and Hopson moved his unit the farthest, reaching the opposite 29-yard line thanks to an 18-yard run and an acrobatic catch in traffic by Shaun Pasternak that went for 19 yards. Bucknell then practiced punting as Andrew Bell kicked five consecutive punts with Nathan Zurisko fair catching each one. The longest of the boots was a 38yarder. The final phase before a brief halftime break was a sudden change situation, where the offense took over on the 50 and needed to score. Hopson led the Bison offense inside the 5-yard line thanks to a 23-yard completion to Pasternak. Harbin stepped in for the final three plays and after two failed QB sneaks, he completed a fourth-down pass to Josh Lee, but Bryce Robertson and Williams were on him quickly for a two-yard loss. Batten quarterbacked the offense on the next drive and on the second play found Marlon Woods on a screen pass that ended up going for a 5-yard touchdown. The second drive the ball phase followed halftime and among the big defensive plays during this sequence were a fumble recovery by Tyler Anderson and four forced incomplete passes on third downs. An overtime situation followed and on the first play Harbin found a wide open Pasternak for a 25-yard strike. The offense then settled for a 37-yard field goal by Orth on its next possession. The second-to-last phase brought special teams to the forefront again as Andrew Bell and Orth combined to connect on 4 of 6 field goals from varying distances. A pair of up-tempo, two-minute drill situations closed the 90-minute scrimmage and this is where Harbin found Cadman for his 74-yard touchdown. After a sack and two incompletions made it 4th-and-18, Harbin connected with Cadman over the middle of the field and the rising senior outran a handful of defenders the final 50 yards. The defense ended on a good note, Burke Batten runs for a big though, as it stopped the offense from gain in the spring scrimmage. scoring at the 2-yard line. After five completions by Noshay moved the offense to the goal line, an incomplete pass on fourth down ended the drive and the scrimmage.

Academic Hon Honors Academic All-District II Kevin Mullen Sam Nana-Sinkam Draddy Award Semifinalist Kevin Mullen National Football Foundation Honor Society Kevin Mullen Notes • Bucknell finished 5-6 in 2008, a two-win improvement from 2007. The Bison concluded the season on a high note for the second consecutive year as they defeated Fordham in overtime thanks to a field goal by senior Will Carney. In 2007, Bucknell upset No. 18 Fordham 38-24 in its final contest. • Senior Kevin Mullen earned a pair of prestigious academic awards last fall. The four-time winner of the Bucknell Football Leadership Award, Mullen was named a semifinalist for the Draddy Trophy, also known as the “Academic Heisman,” which is awarded to college football’s top scholar-athlete. Mullen also earned a spot on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team along with Sam Nana-Sinkam. • Sophomore Shaun Pasternak put together one of the best seasons by a wide receiver in Bucknell history. He caught 72 passes for 1,083 yards and 12 touchdowns. He broke the Bison single-season records for yards and touchdowns and fell one reception shy of equaling that program record. Pasternak finished the season atop the Patriot League in both receptions per game (6.55) and receiving yards per game (98.45) and was among the nation’s leaders in both categories. He also posted five 100-yard receiving games, tying a Bucknell record.

• A.J. Kizekai broke the school records for all-purpose yards (1,908) and kickoff return yards (1,113) in a season in 2007. He nearly eclipsed both figures this fall, but missed the season finale against Fordham. Kizekai finished 2008 with 973 kickoff return yards, good for second place, and 1,840 all-purpose yards, fourth on the Bison single-season ledger. He broke the career kickoff return record (2,090) and is within reach of Rich Lemon’s program record of nearly 6,000 career all-purpose yards. Kizekai has 4,366 all-purpose yards through his first three years, placing him fourth in program history.

• Despite missing the final three games of the season, QB Marcello Trigg threw for a career-high 1,438 yards in 2008. It was the highest passing total for a Bison quarterback since Todd Wenrich compiled 2,327 yards in 2001. Trigg, who ranks ninth on Bucknell’s career passing yards list (3,185), was among the nation’s leaders in passing efficiency at the time of his injury, while his .671 completion percentage broke Daris Wilson’s program standard.

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL In its second decade of combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham and Georgetown as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have, and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League finished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 76 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society. During the 2008-09 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams accomplished the following: • 14 student-athletes earned ESPN The Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic All-America honors • 61 student-athletes were recognized as ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District recipients, with 45 on the First Team. • Bucknell won its 15th overall and women’s Patriot League Presidents’ Cup trophy, while Army won the men’s trophy for the first time since 2005. • Holy Cross men’s soccer senior Jerry Dickinson was awarded a Fulbright Grant to work and study in South Africa. • Navy’s Kelly Zahalka earned her third Academic All-America selection from CoSIDA, and was also named to the USA Today First-Team All-Academic squad. She also earned both a Truman and Marshall Scholarship. • Navy’s Lizzie Barnes was one of 58 studentathletes nationally to receive an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and was also a First-Team All-Senior All-America selection. • Army became the first Patriot League team to advance to the finals of the NCAA Baseball Regional. • *Bucknell’s Andrew Cohen set a record with a score of 208 at the Patriot League Golf Championship, and was named Golf World’s College Player of the Week for his effort. • Army’s Ben Koenigsfeld became the first baseball student-athlete to earn a pair of First-Team All-League honors in the same season. • Colgate’s Nick Hennessey and Steve Jonas and Holy Cross’ Brett McDermott all signed NFL free agent contracts. • Hennessey became the first Patriot Leaguer since 2004 to earn consensus FCS All-America honors. • The Lehigh women’s basketball team was one of 14 NCAA Tournament participants to record a perfect graduation rate. • Colgate’s Jordan Scott finished his career as the all-time Division I leader in carries (1,240), and fifth in FCS history while breaking the Patriot League record in rushing yardage (5,621). • Scott became the eighth player in FCS history

THE PATRIOT LEAGUE and first Patriot League with four 1,000-yard rushing seasons in his career. • Holy Cross quarterback Dominic Randolph led the FCS in passing yards, total offense and completions per game in 2008, while also finishing as a finalist for the Walter Payton Award. • Army men’s soccer goalkeeper A.J. Glubzinski was a First-Team All-Senior All-America selection and Lowe’s Senior CLASS award finalist. • Navy’s Amy Watson competed in the NCAA Cross Country Championship. • American’s Irene Schickhardt and Christine Fingerhuth were both named Longstreth/NFHCA Division I Field Hockey All-Americans. • Navy’s Erica Ziel became the fourth female student-athlete to earn the Patriot League ScholarAthlete award in Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field in the same academic year. • Twelve Patriot League student-athletes received Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars awards. • Bucknell rowing senior Page Kannor, Army baseball sophomore Kevin McKague and Lehigh softball senior Lisa Sweeney each appeared in Sports Illustrated’s “Faces in the Crowd”.

THE PRESIDENTS' CUP The Presidents’ Cup signifies overall excellence in the 23 sports sponsored by the Patriot League, and Bucknell has won the Cup 15 times in its 19year existence, including 11 of the last 12 years. The Presidents’ Cup is awarded annually to the institution that accumulates the highest point total over the entire academic year, with points awarded on the basis of the school’s finish in each of the 23 Patriot League sports. If there is a league tournament in a sport, the points are awarded based on the average of the regular season and tournament finish, and if there is no post-season tournament, points are awarded based on regularseason standings.

BUCKNELL FOOTBALL HISTORY

MORE

BUCKN UCKNELL N FOOTBALL: THAN A CENTIRY OF TRADITION

The game bore little resemblance to what we now know as football, and even one of the school names has been changed. In November of 1883, a group of students from Lafayette College journeyed west to play a group from the University at Lewisburg in the relatively new sport of football. The sport was so new, in fact, that the majority of the dozen or so students from Lewisburg, who did not have a coach and had practiced only briefly, had never seen a game of football before playing in one. The players from Lewisburg, whose school would be renamed Bucknell University in 1886, lost that first game, 59-0, and perhaps because of that experience, their school did not play another official game until 1887. Still, the seeds had been planted for a program that would grow into one of the most respected programs in the East by the 1950s, and will celebrate its 124th season in 2009. Scores of marvelous players have donned the Orange and Blue over the course of the 123 seasons of Bucknell football, and each season gives rise to new names, new heroes, new legends. Here is a quick trip through the colorful tradition that is Bucknell football:

1891

1924

Still playing without a full-time coach, Bucknell gains its first victory ever with a 16-10 triumph over Lafayette. The Bison also defeat Cornell (4-0) and Penn State (12-10) on their way to a 6-2-1 record. The team includes Andrew Wyant, who later goes on to play for the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg at the University of Chicago and is a member of both the Bucknell Hall of Fame and the National Football Hall of Fame.

The team sets a then-school record for victories with an 8-2 mark and meets Lafayette on October 18 in the first football game ever played in Memorial Stadium. Wally Foster, the captain of that Bucknell team, scores the first points in stadium history.

1900

1931

Christy Mathewson concludes his marvelous Bucknell football career and begins a professional baseball career that ranks among the best of all time. A hard-running fullback and tackler, “Matty” also excels as a kicker and gains national attention with two field goals against Army.

Led by future NFL Hall of Famer Clarke Hinkle, Bucknell rolls to an unbeaten 6-0-3 record. The Bison’s undefeated mark is tested in the final game of the season, against also-unbeaten Fordham, but the Bison prevail, 14-13, in a classic at the Polo Grounds.

1918 Bucknell records the first of its three undefeated seasons. En route to a 6-0 record, the Bison are nothing short of dominant, outscoring opponents 236-7. The season ushers in a quarter-century of prosperity, as Bucknell enjoys 24 winning seasons in the next 26 years.

1934 Edward (Hook) Mylin leads the Bison to a 6-2-2 regular-season record and a berth in the first Orange Bowl game, on January 1, 1935. After a two-day train trip to Miami for the game, Bucknell hammers the University of Miami, 26-0.

1951 In the midst of a four-year stretch in which Bucknell goes 27-8, head coach Harry Lawrence and his team finish perfect at 9-0, perhaps the finest season in school history. The defense includes Little All-America defensive tackle George Young (long-time general manager of the New York Giants), while the relentless offense averages 463.3 yards per game. That breaks the Eastern record set in 1945 by a Davis- and Blanchard-led Army team.

Bucknell's 1899 football team — Christy Mathewson is in the back row, third from the right.

BUCKNELL FOOTBALL HISTORY

1960

1995 95

After opening the season at 2-2, Bucknell rolls past Lafayette, Lehigh, Colgate, Temple and Delaware — by a combined score of 107-14 — to finish 7-2 and win its first-ever Lambert Cup. Quarterback Paul Terhes earns Little All-America honors.

The Tom Gadd tenure begins at Bucknell, and the Bison finish 7-4. Rich Lemon becomes Bucknell’s all-time rushing leader on opening day.

1996 1964 Just four years after leading Bucknell to its first Lambert Cup title, head coach Bob Odell repeats that feat, as the Bison finish 7-2. After opening the season with a loss, Bucknell wins seven of the next eight games, including a 21-14 season-ending win at Delaware. The Bison squad features Little All-America end Tom Mitchell, who would later enjoy a fine pro career with Baltimore and San Francisco.

Fittingly, Rich Lemon concludes his remarkable career with a Patriot League title, as Bucknell outlasts Colgate, 28-27, in the heart-stopping season finale. The win gives Bucknell its first football title in over 30 years. Lemon graduated with 4,742 rushing yards, nearly 2,100 more than the previous record-holder. Rich Lemon

1968

1997

Sam Havrilak sets a Bucknell single-game total offense record with 397 yards against Colgate, a mark that still stands. Havrilak, who would graduate with every Bucknell total offense record, later played with Tom Mitchell for the Baltimore Colts.

The Bison roll out to a 10-0 record before falling to Colgate in their season finale to finish 10-1. The 10 wins were the most in school history, and many came in thrilling fashion, as the Bison won seven times by seven points or less.

Sam Havrilak

1978 Ken Jenkins arrives at Bucknell, and over the next four years, develops into one of the finest players in Bucknell history. He would set a school record with 1,270 rushing yards in 1980, and he later played with three NFL teams.

1986

2001 Bucknell celebrates its seventh straight winning season, a first in Bison annals.

2003 After the legendary Tom Gadd loses a long battle with brain cancer, Bucknell turns to Tim Landis as its 25th head coach. Landis quickly resores the good fortunes of the Bison football program. After a 2-9/0-7 season in 2002, Bucknell finishes 6-6/4-3 in one of the nation’s best one-season turnarounds.

Two years after formation of the league is announced, the Colonial League (later renamed the Patriot League) debuts with six members — Bucknell, Colgate, Lehigh, Lafayette, Holy Cross and Davidson. The Bison’s first-ever league game is one for the ages. Trailing Colgate in the fourth quarter, 39-25, Bucknell rallies to take a 40-39 lead with 52 seconds left, but the Red Raiders drive for a game-winning field goal attempt with four seconds left. After a bobbled snap from center, Colgate completes an impromptu pass play that nearly goes for a touchdown, but Bison defensive back Robert Hawkins drags down the receiver at the 9-yard line on the final play of the game.

Bucknell wins its final four games of the season for the first time since 1975 to claim its first winning season since 2001 with a 7-4 record.

1989

2006

Bucknell’s newly-renovated stadium is rededicated in honor of Christy Mathewson. Much like the stadium’s namesake, Bucknell opens play in the “new” facility with a victory, handing Dartmouth a 36-20 setback on September 30.

2004

Bucknell finishes with a 6-5 record and posts a five-game improvement from 2005, equaling the largest jump in program history.

2008 Bucknell improved its win total by two games over 2007 and ended the season with a thrilling 24-21 overtime win against Fordham. It marked the second consecutive year the Bison defeated the Rams in the season finale.

10 MOST SIGNIFICANT BUCKNELL FOOTBALL GAMES EVER PLAYED...AND THE ONE THAT WASN'T

By Brad Tufts Stephen Taylor wasn’t able to observe a football team practicing as he made his way to Harrisburg early in 1846 with the proposed charter for the fledgling University at Lewisburg, but even before the name of the school was changed in recognition of benefactor William Bucknell, the sport had been introduced on campus and gained some popularity. Today, the sport is a fixture on fall Saturdays, and its history is prominent in any accounting of Bucknell’s athletic heritage. The Bison gridiron story (did you know that the word “gridiron” derives from the manner in which the field was formerly marked?) includes many notable games, and we could probably argue for the next 150 years as to which were the most significant. Before designating the 10 most significant games, please permit a look back at some of the more noteworthy games played by Bucknell football teams. In 1881, a group of students from Bucknell and State College (as Penn State was known in those days) played a game of football which, at one time, was recognized as the first contest in the sport by either school, though now both schools say that it was only an informal meeting. Bucknell’s first official football game came against Lafayette on Thanksgiving Day, 1883, but a lack of student interest following that initial venture curtailed play for four years. In 1887, the sport returned to stay as Bucknell played its first two official games with Penn State. Within another four years, Bucknell was playing regular schedules, and by 1895, the university had its first head coach. The 1900 team finished 4-4-1, but gained national attention in an 18-10 loss to West Point. All the scoring for Bucknell came on two field goals by a hard-running fullback named Christy Mathewson. The New York writers covering the game spread

the word about this talented athlete, whose 48-yard field goal in that game was the longest in the country that year. Mathewson, who went on to become one of the nation’s most admired athletes as a pitcher for the New York Giants, liked football more than baseball, and if the National Football League had existed at the time, it is probable that baseball would have been deprived of one of its greatest and most famous players. The Bison of 1895 ... their legacy endures more than a century later. Bucknell originally played football on Loomis Field, now home of the University’s Gateway (14-13). The latter was played before a large crowd residences. In 1924, the Bison moved into what is now Christy Mathewson-Memo- at the Polo Grounds, where Christy Mathewson had rial Stadium, and christened the new field against gained fame for the New York Giants. Edward “Hook” Mylin arrived on the scene in Lafayette before a crowd of 15,000. Lafayette won the contest, 21-3, despite a 43-yard field goal by Bison 1934 and led Bucknell to a 7-2-2 record that included a 13-7 win over Penn State and a 26-0 rout of Miami captain Wally Foster to open the scoring. Late that year, Bucknell beat Navy, 6-0, and Rut- in the Orange Bowl. In 1938, the second season under Al Humphreys, gers, 12-7, to highlight the first of three seasons in which Bucknell was coached by “Uncle Charlie” Moran, the Bison won at Penn State, 14-0. It was the last who had led Centre College’s “Praying Colonels” to a time that Bucknell would defeat the Nittany Lions, memorable upset of Harvard. The Bison finished 8-2 who rose to national prominence following the end in 1924, which represented the most victories ever of World War II. In 1949, Bucknell finished 6-2, and both losses by a Bucknell team. Moran’s 1925 team visited President Calvin (to Temple and Gettysburg) were by one point. GetCoolidge in the White House while in Washington to tysburg scored the winning TD in its 34-33 win in the play Georgetown, and the Bison were rolling along at final 40 seconds. Bucknell closed out the 1950 season with four 6-2-1 when they played at the University of Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. The Bison won that game, 7-0, straight wins, which set the stage for the 1951 but the flamboyant coach also had scheduled a game campaign, in which the Bison rolled to a 9-0 mark. at Dayton two days later. The travel and two games The perfect season concluded with a 21-20 win at in three days were too much, and the weary Bison Colgate and a 33-6 trouncing of Delaware in Memorial Stadium that led to a more than mild celebration dropped a 19-0 decision. This was not the first time Bucknell encountered on campus. The 1951 team boasted several All-East and scheduling difficulties. The 1891 team, led by Hall of Famers Andrew Wyant and “Warhorse” Allen, opened Little All-America players, and the Associated Press the season with a 16-10 victory at Lafayette, but then poll released on Nov. 20 listed Bucknell at No. 20 in had to play Lehigh the following day and suffered a the nation. In 1954, BU beat Lehigh, 48-46, in a wild affair 62-4 beating.

One of the great eras in Bucknell football began and promptly posted a 13-7 win over Penn State, the Bison’s first win ever in State College. His teams went in 1958 with the arrival of Bob Odell, and after a 1-8 on to beat the Nittany Lions for the next three years, mark in that first season, Odell led Bucknell to a 15-8 and then the future Big Ten power dropped Bucknell Homecoming win over Rutgers in 1959.

In 1929, Bucknell completed its second 8-2 teams. The Bison reclaimed Eastern supremacy in season in history with a 78-0 win over Dickinson. 1964, winning the Lambert Cup with a 7-2 mark. Bucknell won the Middle Atlantic Conference In that game, future college and professional Hall of Famer Clarke Hinkle scored 50 points, still a title in 1965 with a 26-14 win over Delaware, and closed the season with a 22-14 win over Davidson.

A 7-6 loss to Temple on Oct. 10, 1930 was note- that game, All-America Tom Mitchell was chasing the worthy, for it was the first regularly-scheduled night national record for career receiving, and coach Carroll Huntress and his staff devised a formation designed football game ever. Bucknell went 6-0-3 in 1931 for its second of to hit Mitchell with short passes while he was in the three undefeated seasons, and the record included backfield. On the second attempt, a bad snap from season-ending wins over two of the powers of the center led to a big loss, and attempts at the record day, Washington & Jefferson (10-6) and Fordham were abandoned.

Jabu Powell helped Bucknell to its first win at Penn's Franklin Field in more than 30 years in 1999.

Mitch Farbstein, a member of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, was captured in the pages of Life after he led Bucknell to a 14-13 win over Gettysburg in 1971. That same year, the bruising fullback scored five touchdowns in a 33-0 win over Lafayette. A 39-yard field goal by Al Yuknus with 20 seconds left gave Bucknell a 19-17 win at Dayton in the 1982 season opener, the Bison’s first visit to the southern Ohio city since “Uncle Charlie” tried to win two games in three days in 1925. The game was also one of the hottest in Bucknell annals, as gametime temperature on the artificial surface was 112 degrees. In 1987, back-to-back home games with Holy Cross (a 48-10 loss) and Columbia (a 62-20 win) brought the national news media to Lewisburg in droves. The media came first to chronicle the Frank Merriwell-like heroics of the Crusaders’ Gordie Lockbaum, and then returned the next week as Columbia attempted to escape its collegiate-record losing streak. The Lions attempted an onside kick on the opening kickoff, but that failed, and Bucknell led 28-0 by the end of the first quarter and the Lions went on to their 37th straight loss. Lou Maranzana’s first season as head coach in 1989 included a very special afternoon, as the Bison’s home stadium was rededicated to the memory of Christy Mathewson. Matty would have been proud, as the Bison that day beat Dartmouth, Maranzana’s alma mater, 36-20.

DID YOU KNOW? • Bucknell played George Washington at home on Oct. 10, 1925, the day Christy Mathewson was buried in Lewisburg. In his memory, there was no cheering in the first quarter. • Penn State dropped Bucknell from its football schedule for three years. It happened after the Bison beat the Nittany Lions three straight times between 1927-30. • The 1935 Orange Bowl game between Bucknell and Miami featured the first-ever college football photograph transmitted over the wire by the Associated Press.

BUCKNELL FOOTBALL HISTORY The Tom Gadd era began in 1995, 5 and the 7-4 record included a dramatic 21-14 win at Colgate in the first overtime game in Bucknell history. The drama of that contest, though, paled in comparison to the Bucknell-Colgate game in 1996, as the Bison and Red Raiders again played into overtime, this time with the Patriot League title on the line. In a game that will be long remembered by all in attendance, Bucknell battled to a 28-27 win when a Colgate two-point conversion pass in overtime was batted down by Brandon Little, who would later earn All-America honors. Bucknell built on its championship season by winning its first 10 games the following fall and compiling a 12-game winning streak, the second longest in school history. In the process of posting more wins than any other Bison team, Coach Gadd’s charges were nationally ranked and led the Patriot League in total defense for the third straight year. However, the memorable season and win streak came to an end with a 48-14 loss at Colgate in a game that again decided the Patriot League crown. The Bison continued their winning ways in 1999, turning in their fifth straight winning season with a 7-4 record behind an offense that scored 320 points — the third-highest single-season total in school history. Quarterback Don McDowell turned in one of his career-best performances to lead the Orange and Blue to a 21-16 victory at nationally ranked Colgate, while Jabu Powell stepped in at running back and led the Bison to their first win at Penn’s Franklin Field (23-16) in over 30 years. In 2001 the Bison made it seven straight winning seasons — a first in the history of the program — while playing on their new state-of-the-art FieldTurf. With their football fortunes reaching heights never before seen, the Bison were dealt a devastating blow when Gadd had to step aside in 2002 to battle brain cancer. He lost that battle in March 2003. Gadd tied the BU record for career coaching victories with 48, achieving that figure faster than any of his predecessors. Tim Landis succeeded Gadd in 2003, and quickly restored Bucknell’s recent tradition as a Patriot League contender. The Bison finished in third place with a 4-3 league record, just one year after finishing 0-7. In his second season the Bison improved to 7-4 and were 4-2 in the Patriot League to record their second consecutive third-place finish. In 2006, Landis helped orchestrate an impressive turnaround as the Bison equaled the program record by posting a five-win improvement from the year before. Bucknell finished with a record of at least .500 for the third time in Landis’ tenure as it alternated wins and losses the entire season for a 6-5 mark. The final game of the 2007 season, an impressive 38-24 win over Patriot League champion Fordham, 38 served as a springboard toward an improved 2008 se campaign for the Bison, who finished 5-6, a two-win ca improvement over the previous season. im On the following pages are the 10 most significant Bucknell football games ever played, compiled ca in chronological order.

BUCKNELL FOOTBALL HISTORY LAFAYETTE 59, BUCKNELL 0 (NOVEMBER 30, 1883)

U University of Miami band paraded around the field, fo followed by a truck carrying several University coeds in an orange-colored bowl. The young ladies threw o oranges and tangerines, with more or less accuracy, am among the spectators.”

Certainly not a score for Bucknell followers to remember, but the game is historic because it was the first one. A brief excerpt from an account of the game indicates that the style of both play and writing have changed over the years: “...At this point the time for the first inning was up, and a breathing spell of fifteen minutes was given. At the beginning of the second inning, the University team came up somewhat discouraged, but nevertheless determined to make the other side work for whatever they might secure. “They now used several of Lafayette’s tricks with good result, and showed that it was but want of skill and practice that they had worked so disastrously in the first part of the game. For a full fifteen minutes, the ball was carried about the field without either side gaining a single point.”

BUCKNELL 12, RUTGERS 7 (NOVEMBER 22, 1924) The win gave tremendous recognition to the Bucknell football program. Playing at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, ‘Mose’ Wilbach scored both touchdowns for the Bison. Rutgers had gone into the contest undefeated.

BUCKNELL 14, FORDHAM 13 (NOVEMBER 21, 1931) The game, played at the Polo Grounds, capped an undefeated (6-0-3) season and ended the brilliant Bucknell career of Clarke Hinkle, regarded by many as the finest Bucknell player ever. Fordham also entered the game undefeated, and the contest was covered extensively by the New York media, bringing national attention to Bucknell and its football program.

BUCKNELL 21, COLGATE 20 (NOVEMBER 10, 1951) Every victory in 1951 was necessary for the uundefeated season, but this win came in the nextto to-last game, on the road, and was one of only two ga games all year decided by seven points or less. It was al also Bucknell’s only win over Colgate in the 1950s; th the Red Raiders ended BU’s record 17-game winning st streak in 1952.

BUCKNELL 26, DELAWARE 0 (NOVEMBER 19, 1960)

Thee game, game though Ford Th though, was marred by tragedy; Fordham’s Connie Murphy died from injuries sustained in the game.

BUCKNELL 26, MIAMI 0 (JANUARY 1, 1935) The very first Orange Bowl Game, this contest is probably the most written-about game in Bucknell history. The Bison’s appearance in the game — which was no doubt aided by tireless efforts of publicity director Art Brandon — continues to bring widespread national publicity to Bucknell each January 1. The game showcased the coaching talents of “Hook” Mylin, and the first AP photo ever transmitted from a college football game came from this contest. As for the halftime show, which has become a staple of current Orange Bowl games, a newspaper account indicates that, “between the halves, the

This was the fourth shutout in nine games for a te terrific defensive team, and precipitated 24 hours of ffurious campaigning that led to Bucknell’s first-ever Lambert Cup. The win also came on the heels of eight straight losses to Delaware, and clinched first team Little AllAmerica honors and other awards for quarterback Paul Terhes.

BUCKNELL 24, HARVARD 21 (OCTOBER 3, 1964) The Bison ended 73 years of frustration against the Ivy League, and the large number of Boston media in attendance were in high praise of Bucknell. The win also provided the impetus for two other threepoint wins and Bucknell’s second Lambert Cup in four years. The contest also started Tom Mitchell en route to the first of two straight Little All-America and Eastern small college Player of the Year campaigns.


2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

BUCKNELL FOOTBALL HISTORY The next week, Bucknell faced a Colgate team th stood 4-2-1, and had hammered Bucknell, 47-24, that th year before. Farbstein was unstoppable, rushing the fo 192 yards and a touchdown as the Bison routed for th rivals from the Chenango Valley. the Student enthusiasm has been unsurpassed since si that time, and the goal posts came down after both b games.

BUCKNELL 26, DELAWARE 14 (NOVEMBER 20, 1965) The victory clinched the Middle Atlantic Conference title, which was — until 1996 — the Bison’s only football conference championship ever. The game also closed the curtain on one of the finest careers in Memorial Stadium history, as Tom Mitchell played his final home game.

BUCKNELL 28, UMASS 15 (NOVEMBER 4, 1972) BUCKNELL 41, COLGATE 7 (NOVEMBER 11, 1972) These games have been combined into one for this list, as they were the final two home games of coach Fred Prender’s first year, and resulted in two big upsets. UMass had entered the game undefeated (6-0), but Mitch Farbstein and Bob Langan each ran for two touchdowns as the Bison beat the Minutemen.

BUCKNELL 28, COLGATE 27 (NOVEMBER 23, 1996) Bucknell and Colgate met in Lewisburg with the Patriot League championship at stake, and the Bison won their first football league title in 31 years in dramatic fashion, as Brandon Little broke up a Colgate two-point conversion try in overtime. Bucknell had lost an early 14-0 lead, and trailed 21-14 before Jim Fox engineered a remarkable 99yard scoring drive midway through the fourth quarter, tying the game at 21-21 and forcing overtime. Bucknell scored first in overtime, with Fox throwing his fourth touchdown pass of the game. Colgate answered, and then opted for a two-point conversion rather than a kick that would have forced a second overtime. With the league title riding on a single play, Colgate quarterback Ryan Vena rolled right and threw into the end zone, but Little batted the pass down, and bedlam ensued. The game also was the final Bucknell contest for record-setting running back Rich Lemon.

QB Don Rubright against UMass in 1972. After the Bison beat the undefeated Minutemen 28-25, Bucknell students tore down the Memorial Stadium goalposts.

The list above was restricted to games that were actually ac played. A game that was never played, however, ev also deserves mention. On Nov. 22, 1963, the nation was shocked and p paralyzed by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. K The Bucknell campus mourned with the rest re of the world, and the football game scheduled at h home the next day with the University of Delaware was w postponed. Bucknell had won three of its first five games before fo stumbling in a 14-13 loss to Lafayette. However,

victories over Temple Temple, Colgate and Lehigh brought the Bison to 6-3 going into the Delaware game. A victory would give Bucknell a tie with Delaware for the Middle Atlantic Conference University Division championship. The Blue Hens were 8-0 overall and ranked first in the national small college polls conducted by both the Associated Press and United Press International. Interest in the game was at an all-time high on campus, in Lewisburg and the surrounding area, and the media almost certainly would have overflowed Memorial Stadium’s press facilities. A sellout was a distinct possibility. And then the shots rang out in Dealey Plaza. We watched a president take the oath of office on an airplane. We cried. We saw Jack Ruby make a shambles of any pretense of security. We cried again as a young boy saluted his father and the funeral procession moved slowly down Pennsylvania Avenue. We talked about what had happened and tried to get back to some semblance of “normal.” That included trying to reschedule the football game for the following weekend (Delaware said no), Thanksgiving Day (Delaware said no), or at a neutral site (Delaware said no). The game that might have brought Bucknell its first conference crown and one of the largest home crowds in history was never played. Delaware finished the season undefeated with its 8-0 record. UPI kept the Blue Hens at the top of their poll and awarded them a national championship plaque. AP, though, asked questions about why the game wasn’t played, and learning of the Blue Hens’ intransigence, dropped Delaware to second in its final ranking. The game would be the last Bison contest to be canceled until 2001, when the September 11 tragedy again brought a halt to the sports world, including the Bucknell-Cornell football game.

* In 1943 and 1944, some servicemen stationed at Bucknell as part of the V-12 program participated in the intercollegiate athletic program. Since they were not regularly enrolled at Bucknell, they did not receive varsity letters, but they did receive a special wartime award, the “Minor B.”


2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL

TOM GADD/1951 TEAM

) THE TOM GADD ERA (1995-2001) In seven years under Tom Gadd, Bucknell ...

TOM GADD REMEMBERED On December 22, 1994 Tom Gadd was introduced as Bucknell’s new head football coach. Raised in California, Gadd was highly regarded in college football circles as a defensive guru, although he was hardly a household name among Bucknell followers in Lewisburg, Pa. It did not take him long to make his presence felt. Taking over a program that had enjoyed only one winning season in its previous 14, Gadd quickly instilled a winning spirit back into Bison Football, and he re-connected with the alumni, involving them in every step of the program. An inspiring presence not only in the locker room, but all across campus and in the surrounding communities, Gadd never had a losing season at Bucknell. The no-name from the other coast became one of the most beloved coaches in Bucknell annals, and he led the Bison football program to its most glorious seven-year stretch ever. On March 1, 2003, Tom Gadd passed away after a two-year fight with brain cancer. While the disease robbed Bucknell of a legend and a friend, his legacy will long carry on.

SALUTING

THE

• Enjoyed seven straight winning seasons, the only time in the 120-year history of the program it’s ever happened. • Won 48 games, lifting Gadd into a tie for first on Bucknell’s all-time list of winning coaches. He achieved that mark faster than any other coach. • Won 73.7 percent of its home games. Bucknell went 28-10 at home under Gadd. • Placed a total of 97 players on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, more than any other team. • Captured only the second conference championship in program history, and the first since 1965. Bucknell won the Patriot League title in 1996. • Established school records for most wins in a season and in a seven-year period. The Bison enjoyed their first 10-win season in 1997.

1951 BISON

The 1951 Bison football team turned in one of the finest seasons in school history, posting a perfect 9-0 record. Behind a dominating offense that averaged an Eastern record 463.3 total yards per game, the Bison gained plenty of national recognition, including a top 20 national ranking. Below are some of the accolades showered upon Bucknell players following that magical year. • AP Little All-America: George Young (1st team), Bob Albert (honorable mention), Joe Gallagher (HM). • AP All-Pennsylvania: George Young (1st team), Brad Myers (1st team), Burt Talmage (1st team), Bob Albert (1st team), Joe Gallagher (2nd team), Jim Egloff (HM), Frank Kirby (HM), John Chironna (HM), Tom Dean (HM), Stan Butterworth (HM). • AP All-East: Burt Talmage (1st team), George Young (1st team), Brad Myers (2nd team), Bob Albert (2nd team), Joe Gallagher (HM). • United Press All-East: Burt Talmage (1st team). • Collier’s All-East: George Young (1st team), Burt Talmage (1st team), Brad Myers (HM). • International News Service All-East: Burt Talmage (1st team). • Blue-Gray All-Star Game: Bob Albert, George Young.

“Touchdown Twins” Brad Myers and Burt Talmage celebrate with coach Harry Lawrence after a 33-6 win over Delaware clinched a perfect season.

2009 BUCKNELL FOOTBALL Six Bison student-athlete alumni representing six different sports comprise the 31st Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame class. The new class will be formally inducted as part of the 31st Hall of Fame Induction Breakfast, hosted by the Bison Club on Homecoming Weekend. This year’s ceremony will take place on Saturday, Oct. 24, and the new Hall of Famers will also be re-introduced at halftime of the Bucknell-Lehigh football game later that afternoon. The Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1979 to honor the very best in the history of Bison athletics. This year’s induction brings to 211 the number of outstanding student-athletes, coaches, administrators and friends of Bucknell whose contributions to Bucknell athletics are forever preserved in the Hall of Fame. TOM ALEXANDER ’62 becomes the 73rd member of the Bison football program to be elected to the Hall of Fame. Alexander was a two-way starter at Bucknell for three seasons (1959-61), playing guard and center on offense and linebacker on the defensive side. He was a key cog on the 1960 team that finished 7-2 and won the Lambert Cup as the best team in the East. As a senior in 1961, he helped lead the Bison to a 6-3 mark and was named an honorable mention on the Associated Press Little All-America Team as a guard. He was also named to the All-Middle Atlantic Conference Team and the All-Pennsylvania Team. Alexander was later named Bucknell’s Most Courageous Senior Athlete and was the university’s Helms Foundation ROTC Athlete of the Year. He was named to Bucknell all-time teams in both 1970 and 1996. After graduation, Alexander served in the U.S. Army in Europe, where he continued his football career. He was a first team All-Europe and second team All-Army selection, and he was invited to play in the Europe All-Star game while serving abroad. Alexander went on to become a successful high school coach in Western Pennsylvania, and he was named to the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. RODNEY BROWN ’83 was a four-year starter for the Bison men’s lacrosse team under Hall of Fame coach Sid Jamieson. Brown played both midfield and defense during a terrific career that saw him become Bucknell’s third Division I All-American. He was a first team All-East Coast Conference defenseman in 1982, then as a senior he moved to midfield and tallied 30 goals and 15 assists, repeating as a first team all-conference pick and earning an honorable mention All-America nod as well. A team co-captain as a senior, he was selected to play in the Division I North-South All-Star Game in 1983. His goal and assist totals ranked fourth and eighth, respectively, on Bucknell’s single-season list at the time. Brown becomes the ninth member of the men’s lacrosse program to be elected to the Hall of Fame. SARA DEN BESTEN COLLINS ’96 is widely regarded as the finest women’s rower ever to compete at Bucknell, and by rowing competitively year-round, she is credited with helping to raise the commitment level of a program that has now won four consecutive Patriot League championships. As a senior, Den Besten became the first member of the rowing program to earn the Christy Mathewson Award as the top senior athlete in her class. That year, she was a member of the lightweight four that won at the U.S. Nationals, and the following two years she stroked the lightweight eight and quad to gold at the Nationals. She also qualified for the World Indoor Rowing Championships, an erg event, and helped the Bison varsity four to a bronze medal at the Champion International Collegiate Regatta. The summer prior to her senior year, Den Besten won the senior lightweight double sculls at the Canadian Royal Henley Regatta. After graduation, Den Besten became the second Bucknell alumnus in any sport to win a medal at a world championship when she earned a silver medal in the lightweight four at the 1998 World Rowing Championship in Cologne, Germany. A year later, she
