THE 131ST SEASON OF BISON FOOTBALL • Bucknell will begin its 131st season of football Sept. 3 at Marist.

Season in Review 58-68
SEASON OUTLOOK Bucknell last year limited opponents to 18.7 points per game, a figure that ranked 12th nationally and was the third-best mark by a Bison team since the turn of the century. Opponents scoring fewer than three touchdowns per game should place a team near the top of the conference standings, but Bucknell won just four times last fall after putting together an impressive 8-3 campaign the year before. The Bison will look to dip their scoring defense even further in 2016 while putting more points on the board themselves. Bucknell averaged 15.6 points per game, and four of their seven losses were by eight points or less. “Fifteen points per game is not enough in college football,” noted seventh-year head coach Joe Susan. “We need to find a way to win the close games. A lot of our issues on offense came down to staying healthy at certain positions. Somewhere along the way somebody is going to get hurt. The depth we are building can overcome that.” Bucknell returns nine starters on offense and 11 on defense, while just six players who were regular members of the starting lineup graduated. Included in the returning group are seven All-Patriot League players, including four first-team selections. “It helps to have guys back that have been on the field for a lot of snaps,” commented Susan, the 2014 Patriot League Coach of the Year. “They know what we expect from them. They show the younger players the way we do things. And they are tuned in to our scheme. “It is important to keep challenging them to be students of the game. They know how important repetition is to mastering the fundamentals. We are going to be playing more man-to-man defense this year and it helps us to be successful with that transition.” Throughout winter workouts, spring practice and the summer, Susan has been extremely pleased with the camaraderie evident within the 2016 edition of the Bison. “Every team is different and this squad has a unique chemistry to it,”

noted Susan, who ranks ninth on Bucknell’s all-time wins list with 28. “The players seem to get along really well. That is an important positive and can be a strength when you are bringing 85 guys together. They work hard. They care about one another. This team really sets itself apart. “Our leadership will be very strong. The guys know how to work hard. They like to work hard and they love the game of football. If you can say that about your team, then you have a chance at a successful season.” Bucknell’s leadership will be headlined by captains senior OL Julie’n Davenport, junior LB Mark Pyles and senior DL Ben Schumacher. Davenport is in his second year as a team captain, while Pyles and Schumacher are making their debuts. Pyles marks the second consecutive year a junior has been a team captain, and he is just the third junior to be a captain under Susan, who took over the helm of the program in 2010. Bucknell’s preseason depth chart features 10 seniors, eight juniors and four sophomores listed as likely starters. The Bison this year return 37 lettermen and returning players have combined to start 260 career games. Heading into the season, Susan seems to be most at ease with the defense, which he predicts could be better than last year. The former offensive lineman is excited about the potential for five seniors to start on the offensive line, while he is still a little uncertain about who will receive the majority of the carries at running back. Below is a position-by-position look at the team heading into preseason practice.
OFFENSE One year after coming just one touchdown shy of becoming the fourth team in program history to score 300 points in a season, Bucknell fell to sixth in the Patriot League in scoring in 2015. With a senior starting quarterback, the possibility of five senior starters on the offensive line, a talented group of receivers and a strong contingent of running backs, Susan expects the offensive to dramatically improve this fall. The Bison did show flashes of what they are capable of last year. They stormed back from a 14-0 deficit at Lafayette to score a season-high 35 points in an 11-point win over the Leopards. Bucknell also efficiently scored on its first overtime possession in a 28-22 victory at VMI. “We need to be better with taking care of the football,” said Susan, who puts the team through ball security drills every practice. Bucknell turned the ball over 17 times last year, leading to 23 points for its opponents.
QUARTERBACK Back in 2013, R.J. Nitti served as the backup quarterback to four-year starter Brandon Wesley, who broke most of Bucknell’s passing records. Just a few years later, Nitti is now poised to etch his name at the top of many of those same lists. Nitti enters his senior campaign ranked in the top 10 in program history in touchdown passes (t-3rd), passing yards (4th), pass attempts (6th) and pass completions (7th). With another solid year, Nitti could graduate as the all-time leader in each category. “Between his sophomore and junior years, R.J. had a couple surgeries; he finally has his core underneath him now and is completely healthy,” said Susan. “We had too many turnovers credited to the quarterback and gave up too many sacks last year, but we are working to correct that. We are going to utilize more three-step drop-backs. We are also encouraging R.J. to run if things break down. He is big enough and fast enough to get some positive yardage, rather than QUARTERBACKS (7) Career taking a sack.” No. Name Cl. Ht. Wt.

least 25 yards in all seven of his games played and averaged nearly 15 yards per completion. Last year, the Bison struggled to hit the big plays in the passing game as Nitti’s average dipped to 12 yards per completion. “R.J. does a good job of spreading the ball around,” noted Susan. “We need to complete the deep passes and take advantage of having a threat like (senior WR) Will Carter. If you complete a pass for 20, 30 or 40 yards, that is a lot of snaps you don’t have to take.” Nitti has started 21 games at quarterback in his career and has thrown for 4,401 yards, including a school-record 2,477 last fall. His 13 touchdown passes each of the last two years are the most by a Bison quarterback since 2008. His best game came at Lafayette when he threw for four touchdowns and ran for another in the fourth quarter that clinched the outcome. Nitti, who has started 21 times in his career, is one of just two quarterbacks on the roster with game experience. Junior Matt Muh is the other, having seen brief playing time in one game each of the last two years. “Matt is a big, strong quarterback who has improved his footwork significantly,” praised Susan. “He had a good spring and solidified his position as our No. 2 quarterback heading into preseason practice.” There are five additional quarterbacks on the roster featuring a good mix of veterans and newcomers. Senior Alexander Romango and juniors John Burkly and Jack Horan have been around the program for a few years, while freshmen John Chiarolanzio and Jake Wilson will also add depth. Bucknell’s seven quarterbacks are an average of 6’3”, 210 pounds.
RUNNING BACK After three consecutive years of Matt DelMauro and C.J. Williams receiving virtually all of the carries out of the backfield, a new set of faces are expected to be at running back for the Bison in 2016. DelMauro, a Second Team All-Patriot League selection, graduated in May, while Williams, a two-time All-Patriot League choice who ranks sixth on Bucknell’s career rushing list (2,334), is not expected to play his senior year due to injury. Susan is happy to have a lot of options and thinks the Bison will utilize a running back by committee approach, especially early in the season. The most experienced of the possibilities is junior Joey DeFloria, who ranked third on the team with 36 carries for 107 yards last fall. Susan likes DeFloria’s versatility and ability to utilize him as a receiver as well. DeFloria had 13 receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown last year. Speedy sophomore Omar Garcia, who won a gold medal in the 400 meters at the AAU Junior Olympics prior to his time at Bucknell, saw some action in the backfield last season as well. He had 16 rushes for 45 yards, including a season-high 21 against Lehigh. All 45 of his rushing yards came against Patriot League opponents. Senior Anthony DelRusso has battled injuries throughout his career, including missing the most recent spring practice, but Susan is interested to see what he can do when fully healthy. Perhaps one of the more intriguing options at running back is sophomore Cinjun Erskine. The New Jersey native spent his first season at Bucknell as a quarterback, but moved to running back shortly after the conclusion of the 2015 campaign. With Erskine (220 pounds) and freshman Chad Freshnock (215 pounds), Susan is excited to have some physical backs who will be hard to tackle. “We need to be better at running the football this year,” commented Susan about his team that ranked fifth in the Patriot League in rushing yards last year.

SEASON OUTLOOK
FULLBACK Bucknell’s use of the fullback position has continued to evolve over the last few years. Juniors Craig Cassidy and Luke Liprando are the only true fullbacks on the roster, but much like last year, Susan expects to extensively utilize sophomore TE Andrew Owers at the position. “We have evolved the position to be more a tight end than a true fullback,” said Susan. “When opponents personnel us, they tend to see us with two tight ends, two receivers and a running back. “Andrew Owers is one of the best athletes at that position we have had. His challenge is to learn how to play on the line of scrimmage so opponents will respect him as a tight end.” Owers will typically start games at the fullback position, but will be utilized differently than Cassidy and Liprando when they enter the game.

TIGHT END Owers will tend to act as a tight end from the fullback position, but there is another tight end spot and juniors Andrew Podbielski and Jared Morse will see significant playing time. Freshman John Reedy, a Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, native, will also add some valuable depth. Owers was a starter in eight games a year ago and had 28 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns. He ranked third on the squad in both receptions and receiving yards. “Andrew probably has the best hands on the team,” praised Susan. “He can adjust to the football and is adding productive weight.” Podbielski started 10 times a year ago and totaled 11 catches for 136 yards while also serving as a key blocker. Morse, a converted safety, saw action in four games, all late in the season, as he gained more familiarity with the position. Bucknell has good Career size at the tight end TIGHT ENDS (4) Cl. Ht. Wt.

WIDE RECEIVER Will Carter headlines the list of 11 Bison wide receivers. The senior has at least three catches in each of his 24 career games played, ranks among the program’s all-time leaders with five career 100-yard outings and he stands third in school history in both receiving yards (2,010) and receptions (146). Carter enters his final season poised to eclipse Tom Mitchell’s 50-year-old program records for receiving yards (2,358) and receptions (173).

and healthy really helps us,” commented Susan. “He should be the best receiver in this league and I expect to utilize his speed and abilities on the outside to create even more big plays this season. He has such a good rapport with R.J.” Sophomores Marcus Ademilola and Alan Butler had productive rookie campaigns and are in the mix for starting positions. Ademilola had 11 catches for 148 yards as a freshman, with all the receptions in the final five games of the season. Butler had 13 catches for 200 yards, and his 15.4 average was best on the team. Junior Colby Klingerman also enters 2016 with some experience. He has played in 16 games over the last two years and has three receptions for 34 yards. Susan was impressed by the spring that junior Kyle Kinner put together and has him listed as Carter’s top backup on the preseason depth chart. Senior Nathan Medrano will try to increase his role, while freshmen Mike Balzofiore, Justin Bethea, Stefone Moore-Green and Steven Walier will add valuable depth. Susan likes to have his quarterback spread the ball around to a lot of receivers during the course of a game. Last year, nine different Bison had at least 10 receptions.
OFFENSIVE LINE Susan enters the 2016 preseason with the hopes of having five senior starters on the offensive line. A former offensive lineman himself, Susan thinks this could be a key to a successful season for the Bison. “There is a lot to be said about working the same combination blocks over and over again with the same guys,” said Susan. “The more experience you have on the offensive line, the better. The guys get better at playing without talking. I envision the offensive line being one of our strengths this year.” Susan expects the line to be Julie’n Davenport (LT), Devlin Brennan (LG), Ned Bent (C), Cary Hess (RG) and Griff Barth (RT). That group has combined to start 62 career games and appear in more than 100 total.

the offensive line, but he also stressed that the next group on the depth chart has to be ready to step in at any time. There is not a lot of game experience as the primary backups at each position — Tommy Gorman (LT), Pat Finn (LG), Derek Bastinck (RG), Chase Watkins (RT) — have seen action in a combined six career games. “The evolution of the young guys is going to be critical,” noted Susan. “I thought Chase, Pat and Tommy had really good springs. Derek got hurt in the preseason last year and sat out the spring, so he is an unknown entity.”
DEFENSE Bucknell has led the Patriot League in both total defense and rush defense five years running. There is a good chance those streaks will continue as the defense continues to be the primary strength of the squad. “I think we can be better than we were last year,” said Susan, about his defense that did not allow an opponent to score more than 26 points in any game last season. “How you do up the middle is key in all sports, including football, and we can be very good at our inside tackles, linebacker and safety positions.” Bucknell is expected to continue to employ the 4-2-5 defense it has utilized since 2010, and this year is expected to utilize a few additional man-to-man concepts.

Davenport (LT) and Brennan (RG) started all 11 games last year, while Bent and Hess split time at center. The Bison do need to replace graduated Clayton Hoffmaster and Ramy Kased, who combined to start 57 games in their careers. A three-time All-Patriot League selection, Davenport has been a stalwart at left tackle since arriving on campus in 2013. He is the only member of the senior class to appear in all 33 games over the last three years and has started every one of them at left tackle. “I expect Julie’n to dominate this year,” commented Susan. “He needs to physically control the line of scrimmage and put a dent in the defense. He had a good spring and has been healthy.” Brennan has predominantly played at right guard throughout his career, but is expected to move over next to Davenport this season, replacing Hoffmaster. Bent was the team’s starter at center to start the 2015 season, but he battled a couple injuries that enabled Hess to earn some time there as well.

Bucknell has four returning starters on the defensive line this year with junior Abdullah Anderson and senior Ben Schumacher expected to return to their inside positions, and junior Doug Whitlock and senior R.J. Sheldon expected to man the ends. “With talented tackles like Abdullah and Schu, teams can’t double team them both,” commented Susan. Anderson is a two-year starter and a two-time All-Patriot League selection. He is coming off a season in which he posted 46 tackles, eight tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks, and Susan raves about his combination of speed and size. In his first year as a starter, Schumacher was a First Team All-Patriot League selection. Also an All-ECAC Second Team choice, Schumacher ranked second in the Patriot League in tackles for loss (13.5) and sixth in sacks (6.5) last fall. “Abdullah was a basketball player and defensive end in high school and Schu was a running back and linebacker,” said Susan. “When you can move from the back to the front, it provides you with speed and quickness the offensive line is not used to handling.” Whitlock enters his third year as a key member of the defensive line rotation. He has totaled 48 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks in 17 career games. Whitlock started the first six games last year before suffering a leg injury, opening a starting spot for Sheldon.

SEASON OUTLOOK position had better show up during the preseason. Being able to keep them fresh over the course of a game is important.” Sophomores Nick Zarkoski and Joe Schiano are listed on the preseason depth chart and could factor into the mix this season. Overall, the Bison have 16 defensive linemen on the roster, including five newcomers.
LINEBACKER There was some uncertainty at linebacker heading into the 2015 season as then-sophomores Mark Pyles and Ben Richard were expected to move into the starting lineup to replace a pair of all-conference seniors. Pyles and Richard responded with standout campaigns and both earned Second Team All-Patriot League spots. This year, there is no uncertainty at linebacker as Pyles is coming off a season in which he ranked fifth in the Patriot League in tackles with 95 and also posted 7.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and two pass breakups. Richard had 18 tackles in an overtime win at VMI for the most by a Bison player all season, and he finished second on the squad to Pyles with 79 stops on the year. Richard was fourth on the team with 8.5 tackles for loss and also posted a pair of sacks. “Mark and Ben are both really good athletes who play downhill football,” praised Susan. “They are both students of the game. Mark is a pure perfectionist. Ben is one of our better blitzers.” Senior Thomas Bodolus, who has also played safety during his career, is in the mix behind Pyles and Richard, as is sophomore Matt Robinson. “In many ways the linebacker position really supports your special teams,” noted Susan.

SAFETY Like most position groups across Bucknell’s defense, there is plenty of experience and talent at the safety position. Returning starters include senior Bret Berg and junior Connor Golden, while sophomore Joe Lauro is expected to move into the lineup following the graduation of Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year Clayton Ewell. Berg will move to his more natural strong safety position from the free safety spot he played last year. The native of nearby Danville totaled 47 tackles and four pass breakups last year in his first year as a starter. His role has increased every year and Susan expects him to shine this year. “Bret is finally playing where he belongs,” said Susan. “Bret has a knack for the game and he deserves this. Very few players on the team work harder than him.” Susan thinks Golden is one of the better safeties in the league. He started 10 games a year ago and posted 60 tackles, bringing his career tally to 88. Golden picked up a number of weekly awards following 13 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and two interceptions against FBS opponent Army West Point. Included in the honors was a spot on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays for an acrobatic interception. SAFETIES (7) Career “Connor is a very No. Name Cl. Ht. Wt. Starts good tackler who has 12 Bret Berg Sr. 6-1 205 10 a unique sense for 27 Aaron Brown Fr. 6-0 185 -the football,” praised 34 Jon Fox Fr. 6-0 195 -43 Connor Golden Jr. 6-0 195 14 Susan. “He has a lot of 26 Joe Lauro So. 5-11 205 -range and is a leader 39 Drew Newcomb So. 5-11 180 -on the field. We trust 31 Brice Sydnor So. 5-11 185 -that Connor knows WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM
our system and will make the right calls.” After playing mainly on special teams and in a reserve role as a rookie, Lauro is expected to join the starting lineup as the free safety. The speedy Lauro registered 29 tackles last year, including a season-high 10 in a win at Lafayette. Sophomores Drew Newcomb and Brice Sydnor will add depth as will freshmen Aaron Brown and Jon Fox. Newcomb is mainly a strong safety, but is smart enough to play any of the three positions, while Susan was impressed by Sydnor’s play in the spring.
CORNERBACK The experience on defense continues to shine through at cornerback where senior Nick O’Brien, junior Colin Jonov and sophomore Bryan Marine have combined to make 40 starts in their careers. Jonov and Marine enter preseason camp as starters, but O’Brien and junior Trey Johnson, who has played in all 22 games over the last two seasons, will provide plenty of competition. Jonov has started all 16 games he has played in his career, including all nine last season. He has totaled 44 tackles, four interceptions and 10 pass breakups. Susan has praised his ability to play either corner position and his straight-line speed. Marine appeared in all 11 games last fall as a rookie and started six of them. He registered 53 tackles, four interceptions and five pass breakups as he saw his playing time increase as the year progressed. “Bryan is so serious about his approach to the game,” said Susan. “He is going to do all he can do to make sure he is prepared to play.” O’Brien missed a handful of games last year, but is still one of the most experienced defensive players on the team. He has 107 career tackles, three interceptions and 12 pass breakups. CORNERBACKS (7) Career Johnson as well as No. Name Cl. Ht. Wt.

SPECIAL TEAMS At the end of last year First Team All-Patriot League punter Alex Pechin was handling all kicking duties for the Bison. He set the program single-season record for punt average (42.1), connected on all eight extra point attempts and made two field goals. Susan mentioned the sophomore is capable of again handling all three, but in an ideal situation another kicker would take one of the disciplines away. “Alex is only going to get stronger and he already has one of the strongest legs I have been around,” noted Susan. “He is a very good athlete and is not fazed if something goes wrong.” Junior John Burdick started last year kicking PATs and field goals and Susan would like him to take that job back, leaving Pechin to handle punts and kickoffs. Burdick made eight extra points and four field goals. Sophomore Jack Chambers and freshman Sam Trapuzzano could also emerge as viable candidates. Tom Adams enters the preseason listed first on the depth chart at long snapper, but freshman Dillon Paprota is expected to challenge for the position. QB Alexander Romango, who was named the team’s Most Improved Special Teams Player at the conclusion of spring practice, is No. 1 on the depth chart at holder. KICKERS (4) Career No. 93 83 1 33

In his first six 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 five years, including the program’s best showing in nearly two decades in 2014 when he led the Bison to an 8-3 record and a secondplace finish in the Patriot League.

Susan became Bucknell’s first Patriot League Coach of the Year since Tom Gadd in 1997. Susan was also a finalist for the Eddie Robinson FCS Coach of the Year Award.

decade-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 thrilled for our student-athletes and football program to be able to welcome Joe Susan and his family back to Bucknell,” said Bison director of athletics and recreation John Hardt at the time of Susan’s hiring. “His 30-plus years of successful experience in college football have prepared him exceptionally well to lead our program and reestablish the winning traditions of Bison Football. Through his student-focused approach, Joe has demonstrated an ability to recruit and mentor top-notch student-athletes at all levels of college football. Coach Susan has a passion for the sport of football and devotion for the young men he coaches on a daily basis. I know he is eager to get to work, and everyone associated with Bison Athletics is looking forward to welcoming him back to campus.” 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.

He is currently the Convention Chair for PATS and was inducted into that organization’s Hall of Fame in June 2006. The latest in a long line of awards for Keppler came in 2013 when he was named the Trainer of the Year by the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Football Foundation. Keppler is a 1973 graduate of Florida State University and holds a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh. After working with the football program for his first three years at Bucknell, Keppler moved to the fieldhouse training room to coordinate the athletic training office for the entire athletic department. In the fall of 1999, he once again took over as the primary football trainer, in addition to running the athletic training office. Keppler also serves as the primary athletic trainer for spring football, and supervises off-season rehabilitation programs for any injured Bison football players. He filled in as the Bison men’s basketball trainer in 2012-13 when the team advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Keppler and his wife, Wanda, reside in Lewisburg and are the parents of adult daughters Sarah and Reta.

PATRIOT LEAGUE Who We Are The Patriot League is a unique collection of highly selective colleges and universities linked by a number of common values. Our institutions are focused on providing the highest quality education to our undergraduate students. We believe athletics can play an important role in the overall educational experience, and we are committed to athletics at the highest level of competition, NCAA Division I. We are determined to admit and graduate scholar‐athletes who succeed in the classroom as well as on the field. The Patriot League’s full‐ member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. Patriot League teams compete at the highest levels of NCAA competition and numerous Patriot League scholar‐athletes are recognized annually as All‐ Americans and Academic All‐Americans. The Patriot League, which celebrated its 25th anniversary as an all-sport conference in 2015-16, began as a Division I‐FCS football conference in 1986 and became an all‐sport conference in 1990. The member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League colleges and universities make meaningful contributions to their communities and society in general and have played a leadership role in shaping our country. What We Believe Patriot League institutions value athletic competition because we know it builds leadership, teamwork, decision‐making skills and sportsmanship. These characteristics are critical to another of our shared goals: producing graduates who will make strong contributions to the moral and civic fabric of their communities and their nation. Our primary focus is on the personal development and academic success of individual scholar‐ athletes. Athletic competition can enhance the physical, intellectual, ethical and social development of the entire higher education community—participants and spectators alike. In addition, Patriot League institutions recognize that highly competitive athletics help sustain strong bonds with alumni by engaging them with their alma mater for years after they graduate. We believe strong academic standards and strong athletic values are entirely compatible. One of our founding principles is to recruit student‐athletes who are academically representative of their institution’s student body as determined by a standardized academic index. At a time when the direction of collegiate athletics is under increasing critical scrutiny, Patriot League institutions believe as strongly as ever that academic and athletic values can be – and indeed must be – compatible. For us, there is no contradiction between the concepts of high achievement in the classroom and in athletics. We acknowledge that reaching this ideal is a constant challenge, even a struggle, between conflicting forces and needs. But that does not lessen its importance. We believe that athletic programs should be integrated into an institution’s campus life and governance structure, and operate with integrity and under presidential control. The Patriot League model includes oversight of our policies at both the League and campus level while remaining focused on the individual development of all of our students. Patriot League members believe that colleges WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM
and universities need to be faithful to their values and need to keep their promises to students. For our members, that means that college athletics derive legitimacy and special meaning only within the context of sound academic values and with the goal of graduating well‐rounded students. The League’s Council of Presidents has formally encouraged member institutions to support opportunities for student‐athletes to participate in study‐ abroad programs as a valuable part of a student‐ athlete’s undergraduate educational experience and personal development. What We Do • Patriot League institutions only admit athletes who we believe will succeed academically and graduate from our institutions. The Academic Index is used as a metric to ensure that all student‐ athlete academic credentials are reflective of their institution’s general student body. • All admissions decisions in the Patriot League are made by admissions professionals, not by athletic department personnel. • Patriot League institutions strive to maintain the same academic standards and values for all students, including athletes, and for all programs, including athletics. • Academics play a primary role in the lives of Patriot League athletes, who receive no special academic privileges or consideration. • A primary focus of Patriot League athletic programs is on the personal development and academic success of individual scholar‐athletes. Athletes graduate from their institution well-equipped to become leaders in their personal and professional endeavors. The League’s Leadership Academy, along with associated programs on each campus, is designed to help scholar‐athletes become world‐ class leaders. • In the Patriot League governance structure, each member institution is accountable to the others for admission decisions and academic policies involving athletes, and participates in annual reviews. • Starting with the class entering in the fall of 2013, all Patriot League members were permitted to offer athletic scholarships in each of the 24 League sports. • There is an expectation that Patriot League athletes will proceed to an academic degree in four years. Athletic “redshirting” (i.e., holding a student out of competition for the purpose of saving a year of NCAA eligibility for a fifth year of enrollment) is specifically forbidden. • Annually rank among the top Division I conferences in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. • Nearly every Patriot league institution exceeds 90 percent in graduation success rates on a yearly basis, including several among the nation’s top 10. • Won NCAA Tournament games in the sports of men’s basketball, football, men and women’s lacrosse, softball, women’s volleyball, men soccer and field hockey during the past decade.

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 26year existence, including 14 of the last 19 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.
1931 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.

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

1997
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.
1978
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.
SAM HAVRILAK
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.
2010 On Jan. 27, Joe Susan is introduced as the 26th head coach in Bucknell history.

In its second year under Susan, Bucknell equals the school record with a five-win improvement from 2010. The Bison posted a 6-5 overall mark one year after going 1-10. Highlighting the campaign was an impressive ability to force turnovers. Bucknell finished first nationally in turnover margin (+2.45) and DB Bryce Robertson led the country in interceptions with 13, breaking both the program and Patriot League standards.

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

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. WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM

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.

Six of Bucknell’s all-time greatest studentathletes from six different sports comprise the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2016. The honorees include swimming recordbreaker Meghan Freese ’04, hammer throw All-American James Heizman ’96, cross country/track and field standout Ron Hess ’00, AllAmerica linebacker Willie Hill ’98, All-East water polo goalie Tony Paxton ’81, and fourtime basketball all-star Vicki Quimby Nigrini ’02. The 38th Hall of Fame class will be inducted at a dinner ceremony on Friday, Oct. 21 as part of Homecoming Weekend festivities. The new Hall of Famers will also be re-introduced at halftime of the Bucknell-Lafayette football game on Saturday, Oct. 22. 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 251 the number of outstanding student-athletes, coaches, administrators and friends of Bucknell whose contributions are forever preserved in the Hall of Fame. MEGHAN FREESE ’04 is one of the finest sprint freestylers in the history of the Bucknell women’s swimming program. After 12 years in the books, Freese smashed fellow Hall-ofFamer Margaret Grunow’s school records in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events. Freese also graduated ranked No. 2 all-time in the 100 backstroke, and she helped break three more Bucknell records in relays. A three-time All-Patriot League performer, Freese turned in one of the best Patriot League Championship meets in league history in 2003, when she swept the 50 and 100 freestyles and also won gold medals with three different relays while helping Bucknell to the team title in the very first championship meet ever held in the brand-new Kinney Natatorium. That would be the first of four straight Patriot League crowns for the Bison women’s swimming team. Freese won three straight Patriot League titles in the 50 free, and she captured the 100 free in 2003 and 2004. She capped off her career by

RON HESS
winning the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in her class at Bucknell. JAMES HEIZMAN ’96 placed 13th in the hammer throw at the 1996 NCAA Track and Field Championships, making him Bucknell’s first All-American in that sport in 14 years. Heizman shattered the school record in the hammer with a toss of 209 feet, 3 inches, a mark that would remain in the books for 17 more years. Heizman earned a Patriot League gold medal in the discus throw during his senior year, and he also graduated with the school record in the indoor 35-point weight throw. Heizman continued to compete in following graduation, and he placed fifth in the hammer throw at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento, California. His throw of 229-8 was about eight feet shy of a top-three finish, which would have sent him to the Olympics in Athens, Greece. RON HESS ’00 was an outstanding distance runner who won Patriot League Male Performer of the Meet honors three times during his career – at the indoor and outdoor championships in 1998-99 and at the outdoor meet in 2000. He was a two-time All-Patriot League performer in cross country, helping the Bison to team titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Hess finished fourth at the league championship race in 1997 and 1998, and after battling mono for half the season in 1999, he finished 20th. Hess captured four Patriot League indoor titles, including three in the mile (1998-2000) and one in the 1000-meter run in 1999. He added two more Patriot League outdoor titles, winning the 800 meters in 1999 and 2000. Hess’ name litters Bucknell’s all-time top10 lists both indoors and outdoors, and he was also a two-time Academic All-American (1999 and 2000) and five-time Patriot League Scholar-Athlete selection during his career (three times for indoor track and twice for outdoor track). Hess received the league’s highest academic honor when he was tabbed Patriot League Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year for all
sports in 1999-00. He was a member of Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team and the Patriot League All-Decade Team for track & field. WILLIE HILL ’98 was the Most Valuable Player on the record-setting 1997 Bison football team that finished 10-1. That year, he earned Associated Press Second Team FCS All-America honors after posting 133 tackles, sixth-most in team history. Also an American Football Coaches Association All-American in 1997, Hill finished his career with 317 tackles, six sacks and two interceptions. Hill played outside linebacker for three seasons, and then moved to inside linebacker as a senior to replace graduated All-American Brandon Little. Hill started all 33 games over his final three seasons and was a key part of coach Tom Gadd’s vaunted defenses. The Bison led the Patriot League in total defense in all three of his seasons as a starter, and the team captured the 1996 Patriot League championship before breaking the school victory record a year later. Hill captured the Christy Mathewson Award before graduating in 1998.

TONY PAXTON
TONY PAXTON ’81 began his water polo career at the University of Michigan, but he transferred to Bucknell after the Wolverines discontinued their program. Paxton then became a three-year starting goalie for the Bison, leading the team to three straight Eastern championships from 1978-80. Those teams also placed sixth, fifth and seventh, respectively, at the NCAA Championships and had a combined overall record of 86-10-3. The 1980 team set a school record with 31 wins, and the 1978 squad won a record 21 games in a row. Paxton backstopped a terrific defense, and he holds Bucknell season (.657) and career (.633) save percentage records. He also graduated as the team record-holder in career saves (833), despite playing only three years. His school record stood for 21 years before being broken in 2001. Paxton was named to the AllEast First Team in 1978, 1979 and 1980, and he was an honorable mention AAU All-American in 1980. VICKI QUIMBY NIGRINI ’02 is one of the finest post players in Bucknell women’s basketball history. She was a four-time All-Patriot League selection, twice earning First Team honors. As a senior in 2002, Quimby captained Bucknell’s first-ever NCAA Tournament Team. Quimby led the Bison in rebounding three

times and graduated as Bucknell’s all-time leading rebounder (902, which today ranks second to Hope Foster). Quimby also graduated with 1,570 career points, which ranked No. 2 at the time and is fourth today, and she also ranks fourth in steals (231), fourth in free throws made (380) and attempted (585) and fifth in scoring average (13.5). Last year, she earned a spot on the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team.
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.

EDWARD WILLIAMS ‘93 AND JOE SUSAN AT A BISON CLUB RECEPTION IN CONNECTICUT 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 245 members and is located on the second floor of Bucknell’s Gerhard Fieldhouse. Todd Newcomb, Bucknell Class of 1988, is in his 16th 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 managers of athletics development Cara Hanrahan and Kyle Smith. For more information on supporting the Bison Club, please call Todd Newcomb at 570-577-1771.

BUD RANCK-TOM GADD MEMORIAL KICKOFF CLASSIC Nearly 200 golfers returned to campus last July 25 for the 20th 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. Tony Rinaldo ’60 was last year’s recipient of the award. 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, 92-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 threeyear 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 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. WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM

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 26 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 129 Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 145 Patriot League ScholarAthletes in 26 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 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. 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.
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.

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 Athletics Leadership Institute. 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 set the stage for ongoing programming that encompasses the Bucknell Bison Leadership Institute. • In the winter of 2016, Lauren Cavallaro was introduced as Bucknell’s first associate director of athletics for leadership development. In her new role, Cavallaro is primarily responsible for coordinating and implementing programming for the Bucknell Athletics Leadership Institute.

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 five years at the University, John has steadily built a foundation of support with Bucknellians around the world. 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 2015, the WE DO Campaign for Bucknell University had raised $365 million. John’s leadership has also helped foster an unprecedented period of expansion and improvement to University facilities. 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. In August 2015, Bucknell opened a new residential quad, the South Campus Apartments, reaffirming the University’s commitment to an immersive residential learning environment. And under John’s leadership, the University will establish a third college — the College of Management — in July 2017, positioning Bucknell to offer a truly distinct, interdisciplinary undergraduate experience. Off campus, John continues to strengthen ties between the University and the region. Since his arrival, Bucknell has renovated several properties in downtown Lewisburg, including the Campus Theatre, the Post Office Building and the DeWitt Building, which is home to the University’s Entrepreneurs Incubator, Small Business Development Center and Downtown Art Gallery. The Greater Susquehanna Valley United Way named Bucknell its 2014 Business of the Year. 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 and staff assessed student views and actions related to personal responsibility and recommended ways to improve the University experience for all students. In 2014, the President’s Diversity Council created a five-year Diversity Plan to underscore Bucknell’s commitment to diversity as a core institutional and educational value. Prior to joining Bucknell, John spent 35 years at Stanford University, where he led the undergraduate program as the vice provost for undergraduate education. 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 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. He has published more than 160 peer-reviewed articles and has been cited in nearly 4,000 publications by scientists and engineers around the world. A tenured professor of electrical engineering, John has taught primarily in the fields of materials structure and analysis, thin-film mechanical phenomena, microelectronic reliability and high-temperature superconductivity. He recently patented two coatings that may make coronary stents safer for heart-disease patients. John is married to Professor Wendelin Wright, who holds a joint appointment in the mechanical and chemical engineering departments at Bucknell. They have two young sons, Cole and Cooper. He has two older sons, Christopher and Matthew. WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM

At the helm of a proud and flourishing Bison athletics program is director of athletics and recreation John Hardt, who is now in his 16th year at Bucknell and his 30th 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 15 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.

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 grade-point 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 student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority Leslie Moore and majority groups of all kinds. The Department Assistant Director subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and of Athletics for regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Operations and Athletic Conference, and the NCAA.

BROADCAST INFORMATION
VOICE OF THE BISON 17TH 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 17th 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 ninth year in 2016-17. 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. While he was a student at Marshall, he worked for WMUL as its Sports Director and called football, basketball and baseball for the Thundering Herd. In addition, Birdsong produced and hosted a weekly one-hour sports talk show. He has won numerous awards, including citations from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters for “Best Local Sporting Event Coverage” two years in a row. Birdsong has also won four Outstanding Sports Operation for Play-by-Play citations from the Associated Press in Ohio, and two from the Associated Press in West Virginia. In 1999, he was chosen as the Eastern Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Media Person of the Year. WWW.BUCKNELLBISON.COM
