THE 130TH SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL • Bucknell will begin its 130th season of football Sept. 5 vs. Marist at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. It marks the fourth time in the last five years the Bison will open their season at home. • This will be the third time in the last four years Bucknell has opened a season against Marist. • Nine of Bucknell’s 11 opponents from 2014 remain on the Bison 2015 schedule. The only changes are Duquesne and Army West Point taking the place of Bryant and Sacred Heart. Bucknell last played Duquesne in 2011, while its last contest against Army West Point was in 1995. • Bucknell will have five home games this year, marking the sixth time in the last seven campaigns it has five home contests and six road games. • Six of Bucknell’s last nine games will be on the road. • Bucknell will face a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponent for the first time since playing Kent State in the 2001 season opener when it travels to Army West Point for a mid-October matchup. COACHING STAFF CONSISTENCY • Bucknell head coach Joe Susan oversees a robust group of 12 coaches and support staff. Only one member of the staff left during the offseason — administrative coordinator Eric Hahn to Columbia. He was replaced by Tim Wait, a 2008 graduate of Moravian who has spent the last four years coaching at his alma mater. RETURNING ALL-PATRIOT LEAGUE PLAYERS • Bucknell had nine players named All-Patriot League last fall and five of them will return in 2015. • First-team selections Will Carter and Julie’n Davenport return, as do secondteam picks Abdullah Anderson, Clayton Ewell and C.J.

In what seems like the blink of an eye the Bucknell football program has turned into a perennial contender in the Patriot League. The Bison in recent years have finally captured some of the success observers always knew was possible from the program that possesses a rich history. Even more success is expected this fall as Bucknell is picked to finish in second place in the Patriot League by a number of prognosticators. The recent resurgence that has featured three above-.500 records in the last four years began when current sixth-year head coach Joe Susan was hired in 2010, but it jumped into high gear late in the 2013 season. Bucknell went 5-1 down the stretch that year — with its only loss coming at nationally ranked Fordham in a contest that wasn’t decided until the closing seconds — and finished in a tie for second place in the Patriot League standings. The 2014 campaign was the team’s best in nearly two decades as it reached the eight-win plateau for the fifth time in program history and finished alone in second place in the Patriot League for the first time since 1997. Bucknell opened the season 7-1 and was one of the final nine unbeaten teams in FCS, winning its first four games. “The 8-3 record last year was nice because we continued to get better, but we didn’t achieve the ultimate goal of a Patriot League title and that is what burned in our players’ minds from the end of the Colgate game through the spring and into the summer,” said Susan, who was named Patriot League Coach of the Year following the 2014 season. “We see each team as its own separate entity and we have to understand the team we were in 2014 isn’t the team we are or need to be in 2015. Our goal is to take it one day at a time, but our ultimate goal is to put ourselves in position to compete for and win the league championship. “We have some talent returning. How successful we are will be determined by how they come together as a team.” Nine Bison were named All-Patriot League last year and five of them return: Abdullah Anderson (DL), Will Carter (WR), Julie’n Davenport (OL), Clayton Ewell (S) and C.J. Williams (RB). Overall, Bucknell returns

13 starters, including seven on the defensive side of the ball. Bucknell’s preseason depth chart features six seniors, seven juniors and nine sophomores listed as likely starters. The Bison this year return 32 lettermen. The team’s depth should be bolstered by the fact that a number of players missed spring practice due to injuries and for rehabilitation, allowing some younger guys to get plenty of repititions. Heading into the season the positions where Susan has devoted the most time to addressing are offensive line, linebacker and the kicking game. The Bison saw three starters on the offensive line graduate and must replace both starting linebackers from last year. Additionally, Derek Maurer handled kickoffs, extra points, field goals and punting duties and replacements in those areas must be found. Below is a position-by-position look at the team heading into preseason practice.
OFFENSE Bucknell’s offense took a major step forward in 2014. The Bison scored 293 points, the fifth-most in program history, and set a record for passing yards (2,579) in a season. Bucknell ranked second in the Patriot League in scoring offense and was fifth nationally in passing yards per completion thanks to a number of long plays, especially to receiver Will Carter. The Bison return four offensive linemen who have started as well as regular starters at quarterback, running back and wide receiver, meaning the offense should be even better this fall. “A lot of what we do offensively will be similar to what we have done in the past,” noted Susan, who owns a 34-31 career record. “We are fortunate to return a lot of talent offensively. We have spent some time working with the tight end position since we graduated three there. That position is critical to our offense.”
QUARTERBACK Last year R.J. Nitti and Trey Lauletta combined to become the first Bison quarterbacks to both throw for 1,000 yards in the same season as Bucknell set a school record for passing yards, eclipsing the old standard that had stood since 1986. Nitti, who battled some injury problems down the stretch, is expected to return to his role as the starter. He did have surgery during the offseason, but participated in spring practice and is fully healthy heading into preseason camp. Nitti, a junior, ended up starting seven games last fall in his first year as the No. 1 quarterback. He completed 105 of 195 passes for 1,553 yards and 13 touchdowns, the most in a season by a Bison since 2008. “R.J. has worked hard since the end of the season,” praised Susan. “His confidence in our offense has taken a major step. He will be not just a good quarterback, but a good leader. He has gotten much better at commanding the huddle.” Matt Muh, who was the No. 2 quarterback last year after Nitti was injured, saw his first career game action last November by taking a handful of snaps at Holy Cross. The sophomore is expected to be the backup to Nitti, but the competition for that spot is still there as fellow sophomore Jack Horan is in the mix as well. Freshman Cinjun Erskine, a lefty who Susan mentioned is one of the better athletes the Bison have had at quarterback, will also challenge for playing time. Junior Alexander Romango and sophomore left-hander John Burkly will also provide depth with six quarterbacks QUARTERBACKS (6) Career on the roster. No. Name Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts 19 8 10 14 6 11

SEASON OUTLOOK
RUNNING BACK For the third straight year junior C.J. Williams and senior Matt DelMauro are expected to receive the bulk of the playing time in the offensive backfield. Williams is a two-time All-Patriot League selection who already ranks 10th on Bucknell’s career rushing yards list (1,800), while DelMauro has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in his career, including 588 last year when he started four games. “Both C.J. and Matt are recovering from injuries, but that combination is a tough one for defenses to handle,” said Susan. “C.J. is so strong. Matt is tough to find behind the offensive line due to his size and elusiveness. They are good in our screen game and they are both good in protections. That’s what it takes to be a running back in our offense. It is not just what you do when you carry the ball, it’s what you do in protection and how you catch the ball.” With Williams and DelMauro unable to participate in spring practice due to injuries, it opened the door for junior Anthony DelRusso and sophomore Joey DeFloria to get plenty of reps and showcase their talents.

FULLBACK The fullback position for the second straight year will feature a firsttime starter. Three sophomores will battle for playing time, including two that were moved from linebacker during the offseason. Craig Cassidy was a backup fullback last year, while Jake Lawton and Luke Liprando were linebackers. Lawton and Liprando had the advantage of playing the position this past spring, while Cassidy was out with an injury. “It will be interesting to see how much a part of our offense the fullback position winds FULLBACKS (3) Career up being,” mentioned No. Name Cl.

TIGHT END While three talented tight ends (Jake Hartman, Patrick Kelly, Josh Lebo) were lost to graduation, the cupboard is far from bare for the Bison. Susan is expecting to use many multiple tight end formations this season and has a versatile group at his disposal. “Being able to play with multiple tight ends is important for us,” explained Susan. “Having tight ends play both attached and detached makes us more variable in terms of the challenges we pose to a defense.” Susan has been impressed by sophomore Andrew Podbielski since he first came to campus last summer. The Darlington, Pennsylvania, native saw action in five games a year ago, playing behind the strong group of seniors. “Andrew’s experience from last year really helps him,” commented Susan. “We saw a step up in his confidence as TIGHT ENDS (5) Career we went through the No. Name Cl.

Morse, who moved from a strong safety position. Duncan plays more attached tight end, while Morse will line up detached from the line of scrimmage. Freshman Joe Arcangelo, who is 6’4”, 245 pounds, will also see some playing time and the coaching staff plans on working with him to become more versatile.
WIDE RECEIVER Bucknell has one of the best receiving groups in the conference, and it is headlined by First Team All-Patriot League choice Will Carter. The junior has caught at least three passes in each of his 16 career games and his four career 100-yard receiving outings place him in a tie for seventh place in program history. Carter had 53 catches for 959 yards last year to rank 13th nationally in receiving yards per game (95.9). He became just the fourth Bison with at least 900 receiving yards in a season. The highlight of the 2014 campaign for Carter was his performance at Lehigh when he had seven catches for 246 yards and three touchdowns in a 21-point win at Lehigh. Carter’s touchdowns in that contest went for 69, 77 and 78 yards. “Will is a threat to any defense,” noted Susan. “His speed is something we need to take advantage of and we will continue to do so.

While he has not been a regular member of the starting lineup before, he has appeared in 16 games over the last two seasons, including three starting assignments last fall. Bucknell’s projected offensive line entering the season features two seniors and three juniors, and the group has combined to play in 105 career games. Sophomore Chase Watkins, a converted defensive lineman, will begin the preseason as the backup at both tackle positions. Junior Griff Barth and senior Vikram Shenoy will be in the mix at the guard sports, while junior Cary Hess will push Bent at center. Freshmen Derek Bastinck, Pat Finn and Tommy Gorman will add depth.

seniors Bobby Kaslander and Matthew Jegede. Kaslander was in the midst of a very strong junior campaign last fall when he suffered a leg injury and missed the second half of the season. He finished third on the team in receptions (27) and receiving yards (362). Kaslander also had four touchdowns, including a pair in a win at Sacred Heart. “If we can keep Bobby healthy, he is a big threat,” commented Susan. “He is reliable with great hands and is a bigger body. R.J. has the ability to throw deep balls to the field and with Bobby being primarily a field receiver, it is something we want to take advantage of.” After playing wide receiver his first two years, Jegede moved to tight end last year. He moved back to receiver late in the season to fill in for some injured teammates and was strong. Jegede finished with just two catches, but was an efficient blocker. “The ability to play that flanker “Z” position with bigger guys helps in blocking,” explained Susan. “It becomes a matchup nightmare for defenses that are typically covering that position with a small cornerback.” Bloomsburg native Colby Klingerman played in five games as a freshman last fall, while senior Brandon Farrell had a good spring as the Bison look to continue to develop depth. Sophomore Mac Atkins moved from safety to receiver in the spring, and freshmen Marcus Ademilola, Rocco Ordille and Alan Butler will add depth. Susan noted that Ordille is one of the fastest players on the team, while Ademilola and Butler both use their larger frames well.
OFFENSIVE LINE An offensive lineman during his playing days, Susan puts utmost importance on the position. In fact, he says the offensive line needs to be good for the offense to work. Despite the loss of three starters to graduation, the Bison have a very good start on the offensive line with junior co-captain Julie’n Davenport and senior Ramy Kased manning the tackle positions. Both tip the scales at more than 300 pounds and enter their third year as starters.

DEFENSE Bucknell has led the Patriot League in both total defense and rush defense in each of the last four years. Those streaks should continue this year as the Bison have a strong defense that has six returning starters and a host of other talented players. Bucknell is expected to continue to employ the 4-2-5 defense it has utilized since 2010, and Susan is happy about some new pressure concepts that will allow the squad to put even more pressure on opposing quarterbacks. The Bison last year recorded 38 sacks and ranked fifth nationally in sacks per game (3.45).
DEFENSIVE LINE Susan is a big believer in developing depth on the defensive line so players stay fresh. He likes to methodically wear down the opposition’s offensive line. “Being able to play more than four on the defensive line is critical for us,” explained Susan. “Going into the preseason we know our four starters.

SEASON OUTLOOK football in high school, was a Second Team All-Patriot League selection from the defensive tackle spot. He was the only freshman on the team to start all 11 games and he totaled 28 tackles and three tackles for loss. “Abdullah had a really great spring,” praised Susan. “As he becomes more confident with what he can do as a pass rusher, he will get better and better.” Joining Anderson to form a strong pass-rushing duo is Whitlock, a defensive end. The sophomore who attended Navy Prep totaled 22 tackles and tied for fourth on the team with four sacks as a rookie. King enters his second year as a starter at the other end position. The veteran of 24 career games posted 26 tackles and six tackles for loss last fall. Schumacher was in a reserve role last year and finished with 10 tackles. Senior Nick Craven, a former offensive lineman, sophomore Trevor Fennimore, junior Troy Glenn and junior R.J. Sheldon are in the mix to add depth across the defensive line. Sheldon was the only member of that group to see game action last fall. “It is the evolution of the younger guys and the ability to play six, seven and eight that will make our defensive line what it needs to be,” added Susan. Freshmen Joe Schiano and Nick Zarkoski will be added depth on the outside of the line, while classmate Alex Jordan will try to earn playing time on the inside.

There is not a lot of additional experience at safety. Senior Anthony Marcozzi will likely back up Golden, but the veteran has seen action in just one game over the last two seasons. Susan has been impressed by freshman Joe Lauro, a Florida native who was working out on campus all summer.
LINEBACKER
Sophomores Colin Jonov and Trey Johnson will be the starters at cornerback entering the preseason. Jonov was one of only two freshmen to start last year’s season opener vs. VMI, while Johnson appeared in all 11 games, mainly on special teams. “Both guys had really good springs,” noted Susan. “Colin will end up being a very good player. Trey just keeps getting better. Both are so serious about playing the game. Sometimes we have to slow them down and have them take a breath.” Jonov started seven games a year ago, missing four contests due to a leg injury. He finished with 23 tackles and tied for the team lead with four pass breakups. The Bison are young behind those two sophomores with the only experience coming from Brian Regan, a senior CORNERBACKS (7) who has played both No. Name Cl. Ht. Wt. Pos.

Bucknell’s all-time leading tackler Evan Byers and fellow All-Patriot League selection Lee Marvel manned the linebacker position the last few years for Bucknell. However, both exhausted their eligibility, and two new faces will move into the starting lineup. Those newcomers to the starting unit are sophomores Mark Pyles and Ben Richard. “It is difficult to replace two All-Patriot League players,” said Susan. “You get used to them being coaches on the field. Mark and Ben have a tremendous upside, they just don’t have the experience of the guys we lost.” Pyles saw action in all 11 games last year and recorded nine tackles, while Richard appeared in five games with one start vs. Fordham. He finished with four tackles. “Every rep for Mark and Ben during the preseason will be critical,” explained Susan. “As they evolve, they will be very good players. “Mark is the consummate student of the game. He is dedicated to being the best he can be. “Ben is one of the best athletes we have on defense. Because of his ability and size, he is a threat as a pass rusher.” Susan noted that a team needs “a pair and a spare” at linebacker, and that is why junior Thomas Bodolus has moved from the safety position he played his first two years. Bodolus had 17 LINEBACKERS (7) Career tackles a year ago and No. Name Cl. Ht. Wt.

SAFETY Bucknell’s defense features three safeties, and it is one of the strongest groups on that side of the ball. Seniors Clayton Ewell and Louis Taglianetti anchor the unit and are back for their third year as starters. Sophomore Connor Golden enters the preseason as the starter at whip safety. Ewell holds down the strong safety spot and is coming off a Second Team All-Patriot League campaign that featured him totaling 53 tackles, seven tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and four interceptions. The hard-hitting Ewell has 118 career tackles, second-most among current Bison. WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM

In his first five years on the Bison sideline, Joe Susan has certainly impacted the culture of the Bucknell program. He has his favorite sayings like “The Ball is the Program”, which focuses on limiting and creating turnovers, and certain philosophies like the Thought Box, which symbolizes leaving all off-field distractions away from the field during practices and games. Additionally, Susan strives to recruit strong citizens to Bucknell and mold them into even better people by the time they graduate. With his efficient coaching style and zest for recruiting, it didn’t take long for Susan to make an impact at Bucknell. In just his second season at the helm of the Bison, Susan led Bucknell to a five-win improvement, equaling the program record. He has now overseen three above-.500 records in the last four years, including the program’s best showing in nearly two decades last fall when he led the Bison to an 8-3 record and a secondplace finish in the Patriot League. With three classes of Bison that have been recruited with merit aid scholarships on the roster, the 2015 season should see continued improvement. Bucknell last year reached the eight-win plateau for just the fifth time in program history and it was in contention for an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament heading into the season finale vs. Colgate. The Bison are expected to return 16 regular starters from that team, including five All-Patriot League selections. Among those receiving recognition from the Patriot League was Susan, who became Bucknell’s first Coach of the Year since Tom Gadd in 1997. Susan was also a finalist for the Eddie Robinson FCS Coach of the Year Award A veteran of nearly 40 years in the college coaching profession, Susan was named the Bob Odell Head Football Coach at Bucknell University on Jan. 27, 2010. Susan, 59, is Bucknell’s 26th head coach since the program’s inception in 1883, and he took over a program that currently ranks 19th all-time in Division I FCS victories with nearly 590. Susan, a 1978 graduate of the University of Delaware, served neardecade-long stints at Bucknell (1981-1990), Princeton (1991-1999) and Rutgers (2001-2009) before becoming the Bison head coach. He has had tenures at both the FBS (Rutgers, Memphis) and FCS (Bucknell, Princeton, Davidson) levels.

A native of South River, New Jersey, Susan — who was inducted into his high school’s Hall of Fame in 2014 — returned to Bucknell from Rutgers, where he spent the previous nine years as an assistant coach on Greg Schiano’s staff. Schiano, a three-time letterwinner at Bucknell who was recruited by Susan, played for the Bison teams Susan coached and served as co-captain as a senior in 1987. “I am very pleased with the direction that our football program is heading under the leadership of Joe Susan,” said Bucknell director of athletics and recreation John Hardt in February 2015 after inking Susan to a contract extension. “Joe has devoted a tremendous amount of energy and passion toward restoring the winning tradition of Bison Football. We were back in the championship picture last year, and I am confident that Joe and his staff have set the foundation for future success while recruiting highcaliber student-athletes to Bucknell.” “I consider it a privilege to work at this special place,” said Susan. “Bucknell University offers student-athletes an opportunity to achieve in all areas of their lives. The effort at building a program takes the cooperation and support of many people. I am humbled and consider myself fortunate to be in a position to continue to build this program as we strive to achieve excellence in all that we do.” At Rutgers, Susan spent three years as the offensive line coach before adding tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator to his duties in 2003. As recruiting coordinator, he was integral in securing several highly touted and nationally ranked recruiting classes, including the 2009 group, which was ranked in the top 25 nationally by ESPN.com. His main recruiting areas were Central New Jersey, Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Florida, Delaware and Canada, although he directed Rutgers’ national efforts. Prior to Susan’s arrival at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights had not posted a record above .500 for nearly a decade and had qualified for one bowl game in 131 years of football. In 2009, Rutgers played in its fifth consecutive bowl game and finished 9-4. Susan directed a deep corps of tight ends during his tenure at Rutgers that included former three-time All-Big East selection Clark Harris, a 2007 seventh-round draft choice of the Green Bay Packers. Prior to his time at Rutgers, Susan got his first chance as a head coach when spent one year as the frontman at Davidson in 2000. He led the Wildcats to a 10-0 record, the only unbeaten team in school history, and a single-season record for wins. Susan was named the Coach of the Year by the Division I-AA Independents Sports Information Directors Association. Additionally, he received a Presidential Citation from the University of Delaware for outstanding achievement. At Princeton, Susan served as both the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for nearly a decade. In addition to recruiting duties at the Ivy League institution, he organized and implemented year-round strength and conditioning programs, developed and coordinated the spring football clinic and coordinated travel plans for away games. Susan’s initial tour of duty at Bucknell began in June 1981. From 1981 through 1988 he was in charge of the offensive line and served as strength coach for the Bison under head coaches Bob Curtis and George Landis. When Lou Maranzana was hired as head coach prior to the 1989 campaign, Susan was promoted to assistant head coach while still keeping his duties with the offensive line. Susan’s first foray into the coaching profession came at his alma mater where he was a graduate assistant on two separate occasions, separated by a one-year volunteer stint at Gettysburg. Susan enjoyed an outstanding playing career at Delaware (1973-76), as his teams compiled a 36-12-1 record in his tenure there. The 1976 Newark Touchdown Club Offensive Lineman of the Year, Susan helped the Blue Hens to two Lambert Cups (1974, 1976) and the NCAA Division II national championship game. In addition to a bachelor of arts degree in psychology from Delaware, Susan earned his master’s in physical education with an emphasis in exercise physiology from his alma mater in 1982. Off the field, Susan is a member of the American Football Coaches Association, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the University of Delaware Alumni Association and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. Susan and his wife, Cindy, have three adult children: Matthew, Jessica and Julia. RECRUITING AREAS: Central New Jersey, Southern New Jersey, Delaware

In 2003 he received the Loyalty to Bucknell Award m ffor 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.” WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM

PATRIOT LEAGUE Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 24 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, Boston University, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Loyola and Navy as full members, and Fordham, Georgetown, MIT and Richmond 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. The Patriot League will celebrate its 25th Anniversary as an all-sport conference during the 2015-16 season. 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 also had 92 percent of its teams score above the national APR average in the most recent data, and 101 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 studentathletes to be leaders in society. During the 201415 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams have accomplished the following: *101 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for ranking in the top 10 percent of their sport in Academic Progress Rate (APR), with 88 of those earning perfect scores. *The Patriot League ranked second among all conferences in Public Recognition Awards, while Bucknell, Lafayette and Colgate all placed in the top six nationally. *92 percent of Patriot League teams scored above the national average in APR, while more than 70 percent had at least a 990 score. *Eleven student-athletes earned Capital One Academic All-America recognition, including first-team accolades for Navy’s Tom Buffone (Track and Field) and Ellen Bradford (Swimming and Diving), American’s Jen Dumiak (Women’s Basketball) and Fordham’s Brett Biestek (Football). *Navy’s Tom Buffone (Track and Field) and Loren Generi (Women’s Lacrosse) and Lafayette’s Cory Spera (Baseball) earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. *Buffone and Dumiak were named the Corvias Patriot League Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year honorees, respectively. *Thirty-four student-athletes received Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District recognition. *There were 2,745 student-athletes on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2014-15, including 217 with a semester GPA of at least 4.0. *Bucknell’s Ryan Frazier (Men’s Basketball) and Andrea Siefert (Women’s Rowing) each received the Patriot League Award of Outstanding Leadership and Character, while Lehigh’s Ashley Blanks (Women’s Soccer) was named the League’s Sportsmanship Award winner. *Four Patriot Leaguers were named Senior CLASS Award finalists, with Colgate’s Caroline Brawner (Women’s Soccer) and Army West Point’s Sam Somers (Men’s Lacrosse) earning first-team recognition. WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM
*Brawner was also one of the League’s nominations for the NCAA Woman of the Year award along with Boston University’s Valentina Cerda Eimbcke (Field Hockey). *Navy won the Corvias Patriot League Presidents’ Cup for the third time in the last four years. *The Mids also won the men’s title while Boston University repeated as women’s champion. *Loyola won a pair of NCAA Tournament games to become the first Patriot League women’s lacrosse team to advance to the quarterfinal round, and also finished in the top 10 of the IWLCA Coaches Poll. *Fordham (Football) and Lehigh (Softball) also won NCAA Tournament contests in 2014-15. *Fordham running back Chase Edmonds won the Jerry Rice Award as the FCS Freshman of the Year. *Edmonds was also named the ECAC Offensive Rookie of the Year, while Bucknell’s Evan Byers was selected as the ECAC Defensive Player of the Year. *Twenty-four Patriot Leaguers were named AllAmericans in team sports, with first-team status for Byers and Fordham’s Mason Halter in football and Navy’s Joseph Greenspan in men’s soccer *Four Patriot Leaguers competed at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, and Lehigh’s Elizabeth Weiler became the League’s first female AllAmerican since 2005. *Lehigh’s Ryan Mahalsky became the first Patriot Leaguer since 2007-08 and sixth all-time to compete at the NCAA Championships for both cross country and outdoor track and field in the same season. *Bucknell’s Emma Levendoski competed in both the 100-meter and 200-meter backstroke at the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship. *A League record nine student-athletes were selected in the Major League Lacrosse (MLL) Draft entering the 2015 season, with Army West Point’s John Glesener, Loyola’s Nikko Pontrello and Colgate’s Ryan Walsh among the top 11 picks. *Navy’s Joseph Greenspan and Boston University’s Dominique Badji were both selected in the first four rounds of the Major League Soccer (MLS) Draft. *Five Patriot Leaguers were taken in the Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft.
The Presidents’ Cup signifies overall excellence in the 24 sports sponsored by the Patriot League, and Bucknell has won the Cup 18 times in its 25year existence, including 14 of the last 18 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 24 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.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
1968
Bucknell celebrates its seventh straight winning season, a first in Bison annals.
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.

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.

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.
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.
1989 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 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.
Bucknell finishes with a 6-5 record and posts a five-game improvement from 2005, equaling the largest jump in program history.

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.
2001
Joe Susan leads Bucknell to five wins in its final six games to register its second above-.500 finish in a three-year span. The Bison finished in a tie for second place in the Patriot League standings, their highest finish since 1997. Four-year starting QB Brandon Wesley graduated following the season, but 17 starters and six All-Patriot League selections from the squad were underclassmen.
2014 Bucknell wins its most games since 1997 as it finished 8-3 overall and 4-2 in Patriot League play. The Bison have nine All-Patriot League selections and Joe Susan becomes Bucknell’s first Patriot League Coach of the Year since 1997.

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. Bucknell originally played football on Loomis Field, now home of the University’s Gateway residences. In 1924, the Bison moved into what is now Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, and christened the new field against Lafayette before a crowd of 15,000. Lafayette won the contest, 21-3, despite a 43-yard field goal by Bison captain Wally Foster to open the scoring. Late that year, Bucknell beat Navy, 6-0, and Rutgers, 12-7, to highlight the first of three seasons in which Bucknell was coached by “Uncle Charlie” Moran, who had led Centre College’s “Praying Colonels” to a memorable upset of Harvard. The Bison finished 8-2 in 1924, which represented the most victories ever by a Bucknell team. Moran’s 1925 team visited President Calvin BILL LANE SLASHES HIS WAY THROUGH VILLANOVA IN 1936.

THE BISON OF 1895... THEIR LEGACY ENDURES MORE THAN A CENTURY LATER
ington to play Georgetown, and the Bison were rolling along at 6-2-1 when they played at the University of Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. The Bison won that game, 7-0, but the flamboyant coach also had scheduled a game at Dayton two days later. The travel and two games in three days were too much, and the weary Bison dropped a 19-0 decision. This was not the first time Bucknell encountered scheduling difficulties. The 1891 team, led by Hall of Famers Andrew Wyant and “Warhorse” Allen, opened the season with a 16-10 victory at Lafayette, but then had to play Lehigh the following day and suffered a 62-4 beating. Future College Football Hall of Famer Carl Snavely made his debut as Bucknell coach in 1927, and promptly posted a 13-7 win over Penn State, the Bison’s first win ever in State College. His teams went on to beat the Nittany Lions for the next three years, and then the future Big Ten power dropped Bucknell from its schedule for three years. Times do change. In 1929, Bucknell completed its second 8-2 season in history with a 78-0 win over Dickinson. In that game, future college and professional Hall of Famer Clarke Hinkle scored 50 points, still a Bucknell record. A 7-6 loss to Temple on Oct. 10, 1930 was noteworthy, for it was the first regularly-scheduled night football game ever. Bucknell went 6-0-3 in 1931 for its second of three undefeated seasons, and the record included season-ending wins over two of the powers of the day, Washington & Jefferson (10-6) and Fordham (14-13). The latter was played before a large crowd at the Polo Grounds, where Christy Mathewson had gained fame for the New York Giants. Edward “Hook” Mylin arrived on the scene in 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 in the Orange Bowl. In 1938, the second season under Al Humphreys, the Bison won at Penn State, 14-0. It was the last time that Bucknell would defeat the Nittany Lions, who rose to national prominence following the end of World War II. In 1949, Bucknell finished 6-2, and both losses (to Temple and Gettysburg) were by one point. Gettysburg scored the winning TD in its 34-33 win in the final 40 seconds. Bucknell closed out the 1950 season with four straight wins, which set the stage for the 1951 campaign, in which the Bison rolled to a 9-0 mark. The perfect season concluded with a 21-20 win at Colgate and a 33-6 trouncing of Delaware in Memorial Stadium that led to a more than mild celebration on campus. The 1951 team boasted several All-East and Little All-America players, and the Associated Press poll released on Nov. 20 listed Bucknell at No. 20 in the nation. In 1954, BU beat Lehigh, 48-46, in a wild affair that produced the highest losing score ever by a Bison opponent. One of the great eras in Bucknell football began in 1958 with the arrival of WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM
HISTORY Bob Odell, and after a 1-8 mark in that first season, Odell led Bucknell to a 15-8 Homecoming win over Rutgers in 1959. The following year, a shutout of Delaware capped a 7-2 season and earned the first of two Lambert Cups for Odell’s teams. The Bison reclaimed Eastern supremacy in 1964, winning the Lambert Cup with a 7-2 mark. Bucknell won the Middle Atlantic Conference title in 1965 with a 26-14 win over Delaware, and closed the season with a 22-14 win over DavidJABU POWELL HELPED BUCKNELL TO ITS FIRST WIN AT son. In that game, AllPENN’S FRANKLIN FIELD IN MORE THAN 30 America Tom Mitchell YEARS IN 1999 was chasing the national record for career receiving, and coach Carroll Huntress and his staff devised a formation designed to hit Mitchell with short passes while he was in the backfield. On the second attempt, a bad snap from center led to a big loss, and attempts at the record were abandoned. 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. The Tom Gadd era began in 1995, 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, • Bucknell played George Washington at home this time with the Patriot on Oct. 10, 1925, the day Christy Mathewson was League title on the line.

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, served as a springboard toward an improved 2008 campaign for the Bison, who finished 5-6, a two-win improvement over the previous season. Former Bucknell assistant coach (1981-90) Joe Susan took over the Bison in 2010 and is in the process of returning the team to the top of the Patriot League as he enters his fifth season on the Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium sideline. In 2011, he led Bucknell to a 6-5 record, a school record-tying five-win improvement from the previous fall. In 2013, Susan once again guided the Bison to a 6-5 record with a 48-10 Homecoming victory over Lehigh, a road win at Colgate and a narrow loss to undefeated and top-10 ranked Fordham highlighting the season that featured Bucknell winning five of its final six contests. The Bison followed that campaign by opening 2014 with four straight wins and they were 7-1 in early November. Bucknell finished with an 8-3 mark, just the fifth time in program history it reached the eight-win plateau. On the following pages are the 10 most significant Bucknell football games ever played, compiled in chronological order. There are certainly many more games that deserve consideration, but we had to make some tough choices. Let the friendly arguments begin.

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.”
Every victory in 1951 was necessary for the undefeated season, but this win came in the next-to-last game, on the road, and was one of only two games all year decided by seven points or less. It was also Bucknell’s only win over Colgate in the 1950s; the Red Raiders ended BU’s record 17-game winning streak in 1952.
This was the fourth shutout in nine games for a terrific defensive team, and precipitated 24 hours of furious 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.

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. The game, though, was marred by tragedy; Fordham’s Connie Murphy died from injuries sustained in the game.
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 University of Miami band paraded around the field, followed by a truck carrying several University coeds in an orange-colored bowl. The young ladies threw oranges and tangerines, with more or less accuracy, among the spectators.”
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 three-point 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.

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

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 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.

The list above was restricted to games that were actually played. A game that was never played, however, also deserves mention. On Nov. 22, 1963, the nation was shocked and paralyzed by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Bucknell campus mourned with the rest of the world, and the football game scheduled at home the next day with the University of Delaware was postponed. Bucknell had won three of its first five games before stumbling in a 14-13 loss to Lafayette. However, victories over 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
2014 Bison 1-44
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.

There may be no greater honor in collegiate sports than to be named All-American. While the number of organizations that name All-America teams has fluctuated over the years, the title is nevertheless a distinct honor bestowed only on the best players in the nation. Here is a list of each Bucknell football player that has earned that distinction, along with winners of major academic awards:

George Young, noted National Football League executive and former Bison football star, passed away in December 2001 at the age of 71. Young earned Little All-America honors in 1951 on the Bison team that went 9-0, the last Bucknell team to finish a season undefeated. A 1952 BU graduate, Young played in the Blue-Gray All-Star Game and then one season with the Dallas Texans before breaking into the front office ranks with the Baltimore Colts in 1968. He held several positions in that organization before moving to the Miami Dolphins as director of personnel and pro scouting in 1974. Young was named general manager of the Giants in 1979, serving 19 years with that organization and helping it to Super Bowl titles following the 1986 and 1990 seasons. The winner of the NFL’s Executive of the Year Award an unprecedented five times, Young was named Senior Vice President of Football Operations for the NFL in 1998. Young was inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1980.

MONUMENTAL BUCKNELL FIGURES
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.
In seven years under Tom Gadd, Bucknell ... • Enjoyed seven straight winning seasons, the only time in the 120year 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 sevenyear period. The Bison enjoyed their first 10-win season in 1997.

The below monuments are located in the southern part of Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, near the beautifully manicured bushes that spell “Bucknell”. The newest monuments were added in fall 2012 when Hall of Fame back Clarke Hinkle and 1951 co-captain George Young received the much-deserved recognition.

A three-sport coach along with star athletes from women’s basketball, men’s lacrosse and wrestling comprise the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2015. The honorees include former softball, basketball and volleyball coach Terrie Grieb, hoops standout Desire Almind ’04, wrestling All-American Bryan Burns ’91 and lacrosse All-American and all-time scoring leader Chris Cara ’05. The 37th Hall of Fame class will be inducted at a dinner ceremony on Friday, Oct. 23 as part of Homecoming Weekend festivities. The new Hall of Famers will also be re-introduced at halftime of the Bucknell-Georgetown football game on Saturday, Oct. 24. 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 245 the number of outstanding student-athletes, coaches, administrators and friends of Bucknell whose contributions are forever preserved in the Hall of Fame. TERRIE GRIEB arrived at Bucknell in 1978 as a young coach, and 38 years later she is still a member of the Bucknell Athletics administrative team. Grieb began her tenure as head volleyball and softball coach as well as assistant basketball coach. During the 1980-81 academic year, she was head coach of all three sports, making her the only woman in Bucknell history to coach three sports in one season. All told, Grieb served as head volleyball coach from 1978-84, head softball coach from 1979-90 and 1992-2000, head women’s basketball coach in 1980-81, and assistant women’s basketball coach from 1978-80 and 1981-91. Grieb’s greatest success came on the softball diamond, where she became the program’s very first varsity head coach in the spring of 1979. She was a six-time conference coach of the year while amassing a program-record 307 victories in 21 seasons. Grieb guided the Bison to the 1997 Patriot League title. Eight of her former softball players are already enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Grieb was also Bucknell’s first varsity volleyball coach and won 90 matches in
seven years with that program, highlighted by a 22-11 season in 1983. Grieb retired from coaching in 2000 and took over as associate director of athletics for business and team services, a post that she still holds. DESIRE ALMIND ’04 was a three-time AllPatriot League forward with the Bison women’s basketball team. She had a magnificent senior year, when she averaged 17.3 points per game and ranked second nationally in rebounding at 13.1 per contest. Almind broke Bucknell and Patriot League rebounding records with 390 that season, and she also produced a schoolrecord 19 double-doubles. Almind graduated with 1,581 points and 873 rebounds, both of which ranked third in Bucknell history at the time. She currently ranks third in points and fourth in rebounds. She also ranks fourth in career scoring average (14.5), fourth in blocked shots (108) and sixth in steals (213). Almind was named Patriot League Rookie of the Year in 2000-01, and a year later she
BRYAN BURNS
helped lead the Bison to their very first Patriot League championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. Almind scored 15 points in the league title game at Holy Cross. Wrestler BRYAN BURNS ’91 was a threetime conference champion, a three-time NCAA qualifier, and an All-American in the 190-pound weight class as a senior in 1991. Burns captured East Coast Conference titles at 190 pounds in 1989 and 1990, and then he won the East Coast Wrestling Association championship in 1991. He won three matches at NCAAs in both 1990 and 1991, and his eighthplace finish in 1991 made him the second AllAmerican in the history of the Bison wrestling program.

As a senior, Cara was one of 16 national
CHRIS CARA
Burns helped lead Bucknell to runner-up team finishes at the ECC Championships in 1989 and 1990, and he went on to finish his career with an 81-30-1 individual record. He was ranked third on Bucknell’s all-time wins list at the time of his graduation, and he now ranks 14th. Burns’ 32 victories in 1990-91 was a school record at the time. A decade after his graduation, CHRIS CARA ’05 remains the all-time points leader in Bucknell and Patriot League history with 249 points on 111 goals and 138 assists. His assist total is tied with Hall of Famer Peter von Hoffmann for the Bucknell record, and Cara is the only player in program history to record at least 100 goals and 100 assists. As a junior in 2004, Cara led the nation in scoring with 78 points on 38 goals and 40 assists. The 78 points were one shy of Hall of Famer Justin Zackey’s team record, and the 40 assists remained the school record until broken by David Dickson in 2013. Cara was named Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year as a junior and senior, and he was also the Patriot League Rookie of the Year in 2002. He earned All-Patriot League honors all four years, and he was picked as an Honorable Mention All-American in 2004 and a Third Team All-American in 2005. That made him the first Bison to earn All-America honors above the Honorable Mention level since von Hoffmann all the way back in 1979. In his four years at Bucknell, the Bison went 19-6 in Patriot League play and shared the regular-season title three times.

BISON IN NATIONAL HALLS OF FAME In addition to the 78 football-playing members of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, five inductees have also been elected to national football halls of fame. The most famous member of the Hall is probably Christy Mathewson, who is also a charter member of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. At Bucknell, Mathewson was an outstanding dropkicker and fullback on Bison football teams from 1898-1900. Clarke Hinkle, an outstanding back who later starred for the Green Bay Packers, is a member of both the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Andrew Wyant, a Bison star from 1888-91, who later went on to play with the University of Chicago, is a member of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. Carl Snavely and Edward “Hook” Mylin are members of the National Football Hall of Fame and the Helms Hall of Fame. Snavely went 4216-8 at Bucknell from 1927-33 and also coached at Cornell, North Carolina and Washington (Mo.) University. Mylin, who succeeded Snavely, coached Bucknell’s Orange Bowl championship team. Bob Odell, who coached Bucknell to Lambert Cup titles in 1960 and 1964, was inducted into the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame in 1992 in honor of his remarkable career at Penn.

TERNA ITYOKUMBUL ’13 AND JOE SUSAN AT A BISON CLUB RECEPTION IN PITTSBURGH Bucknell has continued its long tradition of academic and athletic excellence in large part because of the Bison Club, which provides support for all of Bucknell’s varsity intercollegiate athletics programs. Membership in the Bison Club helps the Bucknell athletics programs defray expenses of recruiting, equipment purchases and team travel. In fact, Bison Club gifts account for nearly 40 percent of the athletic department’s operating budget. In recent years the Bison Club has received approximately $2 million in donations and the goal is to increase that figure every year. The Bison Club also sponsors the annual Senior Athletic Awards Banquet, one of the highlights of the athletic year at Bucknell. At the banquet, each qualified senior student-athlete is presented with a Bucknell ring, watch or framed varsity letter in recognition of his or her achievements. Special awards honor the most outstanding student-athletes in the senior class. In addition, the Bison Club sponsors the Buck-
nell Athletics Hall of Fame, which now includes 234 members and is located on the second floor of Bucknell’s Gerhard Fieldhouse. Todd Newcomb, Bucknell Class of 1988, is in his 15th year as the director of the Bison Club. He is the second full-time director of the organization since it was founded nearly 60 years ago, following Jim Campbell, who served in that capacity for 11 years before retiring in the summer of 2000. In addition to his duties as senior associate director of athletics for external affairs, Newcomb coordinates fundraising efforts for all 27 men’s and women’s varsity sports, alumni functions and special events. Working closely with Newcomb and the director of annual giving to identify and solicit new annual donors to the Bison Club are director of athletics development Tom Harvey and manager of athletics development Cara Hanrahan. A national search is currently underway for an assistant director of athletics development. For more information on supporting the Bison Club, please call Todd Newcomb at 570-577-1771.

GRIDIRON CLUB The Bison Gridiron Club is an organization of alumni, parents and friends of Bucknell Football whose primary purpose is to promote a heightened awareness of and an active interest in the Bucknell Football program. The main support group of Bucknell Football, the Bison Gridiron Club operates under the umbrella of the Bison Club and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations. The purpose of the Bison Gridiron Club is twofold; to serve as a conduit for Bucknell players, both past and current, to unite behind the program they have built by reconnecting and reengaging in Bison Football; and most importantly, to support and augment the Bucknell Football program with championship level financial and personal assistance. (membership as of June 30, 2015)

BUD RANCK-TOM GADD MEMORIAL KICKOFF CLASSIC Nearly 200 golfers returned to campus last July 27-28 for the 19th Annual Bud Ranck-Tom Gadd Memorial Kickoff Classic. The premier highlight of the Bucknell football program’s offseason, the event attracted a diverse mix of former Bison players and coaches, along with numerous fans and supporters of the program. The tournament was founded by the late Bucknell head football coach Tom Gadd, and it has developed into a fun annual event. The weekend also includes a post-golf dinner that features a season preview from the coaching staff along with a raffle and silent auction. In the tournament’s second year, Gadd named the event after good friend Bud Ranck, who had died earlier that year. To memorialize Gadd after his passing in March 2003, the Ranck family announced at the Sunday evening dinner that the tournament will now bear the names of both Bud Ranck and Tom Gadd. Another highlight of the dinner is the announcement of the Bud Ranck-Tom Gadd Award winner, which honors annually an outstanding supporter of the Bucknell football program. As for the golf tournament, winners and runners-up were crowned in both the Ranck and Gadd flights.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES Bucknell plays its home games in a picturesque, 91-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, New York, 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 few decades. A new locker room and weight room were constructed in 1987. The Tom Gadd Weight Room was updated with brand new equipment in 1999 and again in 2014, 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, restrooms, ticket booths and souvenir stands were added a year later, along with an eight-lane, all-weather track, which was resurfaced in 2003 and
2014 Bison 1-44
again in the summer of 2012. The section at the south end of the stadium was landscaped in 1988, and a new scoreboard and messageboard were added. Other upgrades include new lights, which feature a nearly 10-fold increase in candle power. A FieldTurf playing surface was initially installed in the summer of 2001 as a gift from Norm Garrity ’63 and his wife, Mary Lou ’64. That surface was replaced during the summer of 2012 with a new state-of-the-art synthetic grass. Bucknell was one of the first Division I schools to install FieldTurf as a full-time playing surface in a football stadium.

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 18 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 25 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 126 Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 139 Patriot League ScholarAthletes in 25 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. 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 well-rounded 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 prominent 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 sufficient 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 facility surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which serves 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 Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its new FieldTurf gridiron and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club and Bachman Golf Center; and the spacious West Fields complex, which encompasses Depew Field (baseball), Becker Field (softball) and the adjoining Graham Field (AstroTurf for field hockey and women’s lacrosse) and Emmitt Field (natural grass for soccer) venues that are complemented by the beautiful Holmes Stadium. Anticipated to be opening in time for the 2016-17 academic year is the Graham Building, which will house a wrestling practice facility and a student health center. The new facility is being constructed adjacent to Sojka Pavilion. A closer look behind the walls of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center:
Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accommodates four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool itself features two moveable bulkheads, allowing for multiple team practices and recreational swimming to occur simultaneously. Natatorium amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands. In its first decade, Kinney Natatorium played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility has also served as host of seven Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships, three Eastern Water Polo Championships 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 PIAA 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. Dozens of nationally televised basketball games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion. A 2005 meeting with nationally ranked Villanova drew a school-record crowd of 4,433.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES Whether it is the varsity student-athlete, the intramurals participant or the 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 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 new FieldTurf playing surface and 8-lane track. Holmes Stadium, completed in 2007, is an impressive covered grandstand featuring all chair-back seating, along with the accompanying support facilities (locker rooms, athletic training room, press box, concession/merchandise stand, etc.) that service both Emmitt Field (natural grass for soccer) and Graham Field (AstroTurf for field hockey and women’s lacrosse). The next phase of the West Fields improvement project includes significant upgrades for baseball and softball. Both diamonds recently received new playing surfaces. FieldTurf at Depew Field (baseball) was laid in time for the start of the 2010 season, while new sod was installed in the outfield of Becker Field (softball) in 2012. Both facilities also have beautiful dugouts, fencing and scoreboards, as well a brick entry plaza, and fundraising continues for the final phase: new grandstands and press boxes for both venues. Also located on the western end of campus are numerous grass fields for intramurals and recreation, as well as a highly regarded 18-hole golf course, the Bucknell Golf Club. On the BGC property is an indoor/outdoor instructional golf facility, Bachman Golf Center, which provides a year-round training center for the Bison golf teams. The Bison rowing team has its own Boathouse located about 10 miles south of campus, along the scenic Susquehanna River. That is the only athletics facility that is not located within a short walk from the center of campus, but the rowing team has its own erg room adjacent to Davis Gym. Coming soon and expected to be operational for the 2016-17 academic year is the Graham Building, which will house a wrestling training center and a campus health and wellness center. The quality and location of these venues makes Bucknell one of the most sports-friendly campuses in the nation.

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 each fall, Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate annually ranks in the top 10 among all Division I institutions. Bucknell has led the nation in graduation rates three times and ranked second in the most recent survey in the fall of 2014. All 27 Bison varsity teams easily met the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) standards once again last year. In fact, 19 programs boast perfect scores in the four-year rolling average. Bucknell received 19 NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) National Recognition Awards, the second-highest total among all Division I institutions.

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 leader 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. BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. This program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come. 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 a full range of collegiate experiences. 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. In addition, 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. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program. BISON GOOD SPORTS: Now in its ninth year, Bison Good Sports is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. Bucknell teams have some of the best fan support in the Patriot League, and we encourage all fans to enthusiastically cheer on the Orange & Blue in a positive manner.

Competitive sports at Bucknell dates back to 1870, and more than a century later Bucknell has established itself as a national leader in providing successful academic and athletic opportunities for student-athletes. Today, the Department of Athletics & Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence among all intercollegiate programs by maintaining academic priorities and supporting educational and personal development, all while providing the rigorous and competitive Division I athletics opportunity sought by Bucknell student-athletes. As Bison Athletics seeks to create a comprehensive learning environment that meshes with the academic mission of the University, an important element of the complete studentathlete experience is participation in an elite leadership development program designed to identify, develop, challenge and support student-athletes and coaches in their continual quest to become leaders in academics, in athletics and in life. This is the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. ABOUT THE PROGRAM • In the summer of 2011 the Bucknell Department of Athletics & Recreation implemented a formal leadership development program. • Initial workshops were facilitated by the Janssen Sports Leadership Center. • As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, the program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. • Initially, a group of 60 student-athletes were identified as members. These workshops for both student-athletes and their coaches have set the stage for ongoing programming that will encompass the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy.

“I applaud our athletics department for providing our student-athletes with this exciting new program. We are confident the young men and women participating will take full advantage of all that the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy has to offer.” - Bucknell University President John Bravman “At Bucknell, our intercollegiate athletics program embraces and reflects the University’s mission, core values and educational goals. Leadership development is one of the many important opportunities that is inherent in athletics. Cultivating great leadership is of critical importance, as it not only contributes to the success of our teams, but the benefits of becoming a great leader ultimately will extend well beyond the practice and playing fields and last a lifetime.” - Director of Athletics & Recreation John Hardt “The Patriot League believes in the motto of `today’s scholar-athletes, tomorrow’s leaders,’ and the program provides a unique platform for student-athletes to further their growth into leadership roles. We remain committed to providing student-athletes an opportunity to achieve their potential academically and athletically while preparing to become leaders and make meaningful contributions to society.” - Former Patriot League Executive Director Carolyn Schlie Femovich

UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION
John Bravman, a highly respected academic leader and distinguished professor of engineering, became the 17th president of Bucknell University on July 1, 2010. His longtime dedication to undergraduate liberal arts education at the highest level has set an innovative and dynamic tone for his presidency. In his first four years at the University, John has steadily built a foundation of support through numerous meetings and speaking engagements with Bucknellians across the country and overseas. In October 2012, Bucknell launched the public phase of the largest comprehensive campaign in its history, with a goal of raising half a billion dollars for strategic University initiatives. As of November 2014, fundraising had exceeded $325 million. During John’s first year in office, the University broke ground on infrastructure for Academic West, Bucknell’s first new academic building in nearly a decade, which opened in August 2013. Construction began on four new apartment-style residence halls in November 2013. They will open in August 2015, with a student commons building to follow. Off campus, John continues to strengthen ties between the University and downtown Lewisburg, where Bucknell recently renovated several University
properties, including the Campus Theatre, the Post Office Building and the historic DeWitt Building, which houses the Small Business Development Center, the Entrepreneurs Incubator and the Samek Art Museum’s Art Gallery. In his earliest months at Bucknell, John initiated an in-depth examination of the quality of student life by creating the Campus Climate Task Force. This group of faculty, staff and students assessed student views and actions related to personal responsibility and recommended ways to improve the University experience for all students. Ongoing campus dialogue about expectations of students has been firmly established as a top presidential priority. Prior to joining Bucknell, John spent 35 years at Stanford University, where he led its undergraduate program as the vice provost for undergraduate education for 11 years. He played a critical role in Stanford’s Campaign for Undergraduate Education, which raised more than $1.1 billion. In recognition of his accomplishments, Stanford awarded him the university’s highest honors for both teaching (1989) and for lifetime service (2010). Born in 1957, John grew up in New York City and on Long Island. He completed his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree in materials science and engineering at Stanford. John has published more than 160 peer-reviewed articles and taught primarily in the fields of materials structure and analysis, thin-film mechanical phenomena, microelectronic reliability and high-temperature superconductivity. A tenured professor of electrical engineering, he patented two coatings that may make coronary stents safer for heart-disease patients. John is married to Dr. Wendelin Wright, associate professor with a joint appointment in mechanical engineering and chemical engineering at Bucknell. They have two young sons, Cole and Cooper. John has two older sons, Christopher and Matthew.

At the helm of a proud and flourishing Bison athletics program is director of athletics and recreation John Hardt, who is now in his 15th year at Bucknell and his 29th 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 increased online video programming, a new graphics identity package, an informative and visually appealing athletics website and a revamped Bison Club all serve to bring Bison Athletics into the homes of its supporters. During his productive tenure at Bucknell, Hardt has overseen continual growth in Bison Club donations, with receipts now annually topping $2 million, 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 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, the Holmes Stadium grandstand/press box facility that supports both Graham Field and Emmitt Field, the ongoing upgrades to the baseball and softball facilities, a brand new instructional golf center, as well as endowments for football, track and field, water polo and swimming and diving. At Bucknell, Hardt has initiated groundbreaking deals in the area of apparel (adidas), marketing (Bucknell Sports Properties) and sports medicine (Geisinger Sports Medicine). While much has been achieved in the last 14 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 the University’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.

In the fall of 2011, Hardt announced the launching of the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy, a program designed identify, develop, challenge and support student-athletes and coaches in their continual quest to become leaders in academics, in athletics and in life. Hardt, who received the Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award in March 2008 at the All-American Football Foundation’s 91st Banquet of Champions, also remains very active in athletics governance at the national level. In 2006-07 he served as chair of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Committee, he recently completed a four-year term on the Division I Baseball Committee, and in 2012 he earned a presigious post on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council. He is also in his second year as a member of the Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee. Hardt began his tenure at Bucknell on February 15, 2000, after serving four years as associate director of athletics at Michigan State University. While there, Hardt supervised the sports medicine staff, strength and conditioning, equipment operations, computing and tech services and NCAA/Big Ten rules compliance. In addition, he handled legal and contractual issues for the department. Prior to his tenure at MSU, Hardt spent five years at Syracuse University as director of athletic compliance and four years with the NCAA’s national office as a compliance representative. A native Iowan, Hardt is a 1984 honors graduate of the University of Iowa, and he was a member of the Hawkeyes’ 1982 Rose Bowl football team. He later earned his law degree from Iowa and is a doctoral candidate in Iowa’s College of Education.

The Department of Athletics 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 student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on gradepoint averages. The coaches’ and staff ’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell studentathletes 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 WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM
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.

BROADCAST INFORMATION
VOICE OF THE BISON 16TH YEAR AT BUCKNELL MARSHALL ’87
Bucknell football hits the airwaves again this fall on the Bison Sports Network. Radio broadcasts of all 11 Bucknell games will be carried live on the Bison Sports Network. The network’s flagship station again this season is Eagle 107 (WEGH 107.3 FM). The pregame show begins 30 minutes prior to kickoff. The broadcasts also have a worldwide audience over the internet with audio-only broadcasts available via BucknellBison.com and video of most games airing on the Patriot League Network. Doug Birdsong enters his 16th season as the “Voice of the Bison.” A 1987 Marshall University graduate who has called play-by-play for college and high school athletics for nearly 30 years, Birdsong was named Radio/TV Coordinator and Marketing Specialist at Bucknell in July 2000. He is just the second full-time “Voice of the Bison,” following in the footsteps of Bob Behler, who called the action for 13 years. In addition to calling the Bucknell football action, Birdsong also handles the play-by-play duties for men’s basketball, in addition to numerous other Bison teams. He has worked numerous NCAA Tournament contests in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer and women’s soccer during his tenure at Bucknell. In 2008, Birdsong took on additional duties as he is responsible for the majority of video shown on Bison Vision on BucknellBison.com. He interviews coaches and student-athletes and obtains highlights from many Bison events to post on the popular Bison Vision, which has received rave reviews as it enters its eighth year in 2015-16. Birdsong also helped initiate and served as host of Bison Live! and Bison Now!, former radio shows that originated from local restaurants. Birdsong, the host of the weekly Bucknell Football Luncheons in the fall, came to Bucknell from AVC Communications in Cambridge, Ohio, where, as the sports director, he managed the play-by-play crews on five radio stations for 12 years. He called play-by-play for Muskingum College football, men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball, and also handled the same duties plus baseball for area high schools. Birdsong was also responsible for writing and producing 11 daily sportscasts focusing on the six area high schools and Muskingum College. During his final five years at AVC, Birdsong coordinated advertising and posted an outstanding record, increasing sales by at least 10 percent each year. Prior to his experience at AVC, Birdsong worked at WTCR in Huntington, West Virginia, for a few years after graduating from Marshall.
