The Horseshoe Classic UC Davis beat Cal Poly 23-10 last year in Aggie Stadium in the sixth edition of “The Horseshoe Classic,” snapping a three-game Cal Poly win streak -- 51-28 in 2008 in Alex G. Spanos Stadium, 63-28 in 2007 in Aggie Stadium and 23-17 in 2006 in Alex G. Spanos Stadium -- after the Aggies had won the first two games of The Horseshoe Classic -- 20-13 in 2005 and 36-33 in 2004. In 2004, the two schools’ student-run spirit clubs, Mustang Maniacs and the Aggie Pack, came together to sponsor a perpetual trophy that resides with the team that wins each year. The horseshoe-shaped trophy signifies the agricultural influence at both universities. Although the trophy was established in 2004, the two teams have met for football games 35 times. UC Davis leads the series 17-16-2. From 2001-05, the visiting team won each time. Rich Ellerson was 5-3 against the Aggies during his eight years as Cal Poly head coach. The series began in 1939 with UC Davis posting a 28-0 shutout at Davis. Cal Poly returned the favor in 1940 with a 27-0 victory in San Luis Obispo. The two teams have met every year since 1978. Fifteen of the games in the series have been decided by seven points or less.
4 More than 19,000 students, nationally-renown courses of study and the top-ranked public master’s university in the western United States ... all 11 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
This is Cal Poly ocated in the central California coastal town of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly comprises one of 23 campuses in the California State University, the nation’s largest four-year undergraduate university system. Each CSU campus is given considerable freedom to develop its programs and each institution boasts its own qualities and strengths. Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing principle of instruction prepares undergraduates for careers in applied technical and professional fields. From computers to crops, Cal Poly holds that the best preparation for any endeavor is derived through practical application. This ideal has set Cal Poly apart from other institutions and been the school’s driving philosophy since its 1901 founding. Courses at Cal Poly emphasize a high proportion of lab work, fieldwork and special assignments, culminating with a senior project. Unique on-campus opportunities – such as an organic farm and a student-run daily newspaper and majors of study ranging from aerospace engineering to wine and viticulture – make hands-on learning a daily reality at Cal Poly. In total, Cal Poly confers bachelor's degrees in 64 separate areas of study. Nine of those degrees are exclusive to the San Luis Obispo campus (see next page). For 17-consecutive years, U.S. News and World Report has ranked Cal Poly as the top public master’s university in the western United States. The publication also ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering as the No. 3 program in the nation among public non-doctoral institutions (see below). On-campus activities are headquartered at the renown University Union and Cal Poly’s student-run activities have earned enviable reputations across the nation. Week of Welcome offers first-quarter students a successful introduction
L
to the collegiate experience through a team of trained student leaders and university officials, all of whom provide academic and social resources, encourage awareness and promote relationships with the campus and central coast community. Athletically, Cal Poly boasts one of the most successful Division I programs for an institution of its size. During the 2009-10 academic year, the athletics department – which sponsors 20 varsity programs – captured Big West Conference championships in women’s soccer, men’s cross country and men’s tennis and enjoyed the All-America selections of wrestlers Chase Pami and Boris Novachkov. Women’s basketball forward Kristina Santiago was named Big West Player of the Year while softball designated player Anna Cahn earned Big West Field Player of the Year praise. Mustangs earned 42 all-conference honors while seven Cal Poly student-athletes were named Big West Freshman of the Year in their respective sports. As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 38 Mustangs collected Big West All-Academic praise during the 2009-10 school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished second in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference's 18 sponsored sports. Internationally, Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete.

BEST IN THE WEST
CAL POLY AN ACADEMIC DYNASTY 17 YEARS IN THE MAKING For the 17th-straight year, Cal Poly was rated by U.S. News and World Report as the best public master’s university in the western United States in its 2010 America’s Best Colleges guidebook. Cal Poly moved up four spots from 10th to sixth in the publication’s overall list of the west’s best universities – including both public and private institutions – that provide “a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs but few, if any, doctoral programs.” The publication ranks colleges that grant doctoral degrees, such as those in the University of California system, in a separate category. “Perhaps the most important gauge of the effectiveness of Cal Poly’s educational programs is how successful our graduates are in the real world,” said former Cal Poly President Warren J. Baker, who retired in 2010 after serving for 31 years. “We hear that our graduates are doing great things and we take pride in that. Getting a ranking in U.S. News for the 17th straight year, however, helps to validate the quality of our pro-
grams and the success of our gifted faculty in preparing students to meet the challenges they will face.” Within individual areas of study, U.S. News and World Report ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering No. 3 among public engineering programs for schools whose highest degree is a bachelor’s or master’s (Cal Poly was bested only by the United States Military and Naval Academies). A number of College of Engineering programs ranked high in the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs categories. Cal Poly’s industrial and manufacturing, computer, electrical and mechanical engineering programs were each ranked as the top program at a public university in their respective specialty categories. Cal Poly’s civil and environmental engineering tracks were both ranked as the second best programs at a public university.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, TRANSCENDENT FUTURE
FROM SAN LUIS OBISPO TO SPACE, THE NATION’S ELITE CALL CAL POLY HOME
With the Orfalea College of Business in the background, O’Neill Green hosts, among other activities, a tailgate prior to football games at the adjacent and recently remodeled Alex G. Spanos Stadium. A 1948 graduate of the College of Agriculture, the late Richard J. O’Neill is the founder of Supporters of Mustang Athletics Teams (SUMAT) and was instrumental in helping to stabilize funding for Cal Poly.
n the 1890s, when a proposal for a teacher training school in San Luis Obispo seemed unlikely to succeed, California State Senator Sylvester C. Smith instead suggested a polytechnic institute. Myron Angel, chronicler of San Luis Obispo County history, became an ardent supporter of the idea and articulated a vision to establish a school that would “teach the hand as well as the head.” The plan succeeded and on March 8, 1901, legislation was signed founding the California Polytechnic School, then a vocational high school. During the ensuing three decades, Cal Poly evolved into the modern equivalent of a junior college, but its future became uncertain. In 1933, however, Julian A. McPhee, chief of the California Bureau of Agricultural Education, saved the institution from abolishment by agreeing to become school president. During the next 33 years, McPhee guided Cal Poly’s transformation into a four-year institution and set an educational standard still emulated today. Cal Poly’s first baccalaureate exercises were held in May 1942 and in 1947, the institution was officially renamed California State Polytechnic College. As programs continued to evolve, the institution became California Polytechnic State University in 1972.

8 CAL POLY ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT FACILITIES
ENHANCED BY SOME OF THE NATION’S MOST RAVENOUS CROWDS AND PRISTINE WEATHER, CAL POLY’S ATHLETICS FACILITIES PROVIDE THE MUSTANGS WITH AN UNPARALLELED HOME ADVANTAGE
Completed in 2006, Alex G. Spanos Stadium (above) hosts Cal Poly’s football and men’s and women’s soccer programs. The Mustang football team christened the complex on Nov. 18, 2006 with a 55-0 victory versus Savannah State, while a program-record 11,075 spectators packed Spanos Stadium Sept. 15, 2007 for Cal Poly’s season home-opening win against Weber State. On Oct. 17, 2008, another sellout crowd of 11,075 supporters – the thirdlargest regular season crowd figure in NCAA men’s soccer history – flooded Spanos Stadium for Cal Poly’s nationally-televised showdown against central coast rival UC Santa Barbara. During the 2009 season, the men’s soccer program ranked third among NCAA Division I programs by averaging 2,213 fans per home date. Cal Poly’s volleyball, wrestling and basketball programs call 3,032-seat Mott Gym (right) home. The athletics department ensured its commitment to Cal Poly’s programs by installing a new $700,000 floor during the summer of 2007. During recent years, Mott Gym has hosted the Pac-10 Conference Wrestling Championships and, in front of a sold-out audience, the first and seconds rounds of the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Tournament (also right). The men’s basketball program produced its most recent sellout during a 60-57 defeat of eventual Big West champion UC Santa Barbara on Feb. 27, 2010. Additionally, the Mustang women’s basketball program drew a program-record 1,737 fans for a Feb. 14, 2009 game against UC Santa Barbara. Remodeled at a cost of more than $3 million, the Olympic-sized Anderson Aquatic Center (left) was completed in August 2009 and plays host to both Cal Poly’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. Situated adjacent to Mott Gym, the pool measures 12,348 square feet. Eight 50-yard lanes highlight the complex, which also provides for a total of eighteen 25-yard cross course lanes. The complex also features a 15-by-30-foot all-shallow therapy pool. Anderson Aquatic Center held its first official event on Oct. 3, 2009, when the Mustang women’s swimming program welcomed then-defending national champion California to San Luis Obispo.

MUSTANGS EXCEL IN THE CLASSROOM or more than 100 years, Cal Poly’s student-athletes have been dedicated to excellence in both the athletic and academic arenas. During the 2009-10 scholastic year alone, 38 Mustangs were named to all-conference academic teams. Since Cal Poly transitioned to the Division I level in 1994, the school has enjoyed 520 total all-conference academic selections – an average of more than 32 per year. Taking pride in each student’s ability to excel both athletically and intellectually, Cal Poly and the athletics department offer guidance and support to each student-athlete during his or her tenure. To support these motives, the athletics department initiated the Academic Resource Center. Opened in 2001, the cen-
F
ter provides year-round academic support, tutoring, workshops and academic advising. The center has also developed study hall programs with bi-quarterly progress checks, weekly academic appointments and a first-year seminar class for incoming student-athletes. In deference to the student-athlete’s need for class schedule flexibility, Cal Poly also offers in-season priority registration for two of the three quarters during which competition occurs. Of the 64 major courses offered at Cal Poly, Mustang student-athletes were enrolled in 54 separate areas, as of the Fall 2009 term. Below is a breakdown of student-athlete majors, by percentage.

Featuring 20 varsity programs, the Cal Poly Athletics Department is in its 17th year of NCAA Division I competition since completing reclassification in 1994. With the exception of football (Great West Conference), wrestling and men’s swimming (Pac-10 Conference) and the women’s swimming and indoor track and field programs (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation), Cal Poly is also in its 15th year as a member of the Big West Conference. Among Big West institutions, only UC Davis (23 programs) boasts more athletic disciplines than Cal Poly. Prior to transitioning to the Division I level, Cal Poly ranked as the most successful institution in the history of NCAA Division II athletics with 35 national team titles. Cal Poly has continued its winning tradition at the top flight with teams and individuals routinely earning conference championships and NCAA Tournament berths. During the 2009-10 academic year, Cal Poly’s women’s soccer, men’s cross country and men’s tennis programs all captured conference titles while the Mustang Athletics Department finished second in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference's 18 sponsored sports. Individually during the 2009-10 academic term, wrestlers Chase Pami (157 pounds) and Boris Novachkov (133 pounds) earned All-America praise after finishing, respectively, second and seventh at the 2010 NCAA Championships. Wrestlers Filip Novachkov (141 pounds), Nick Fisher (149 pounds) and Ryan DesRoches (174 pounds), swimmer Peter Kline, high jumper Whitney Sisler and the women’s tennis doubles team of Brittany Blalock and Suzie Matzenauer all advanced to the NCAA Championships. Cross country runner Joe Gatel also earned an NCAA Championships berth and was named Big West Athlete of the Year after winning the conference’s individual title. Other Big West Player of Year recipients included women’s basketball forward Kristina Santiago and softball designated player Anna Cahn. Cal Poly student-athletes produced 42 all-conference honors during the 2009-10 academic year while seven Mustangs – Jordan Bridge (men’s tennis), Mitch Haniger (baseball), Angie Haven (women’s swimming), Taylor Herrera (men’s track and field), Pace Johnson (men’s golf), Dave LaFlamme (men’s swimming) and Kayleigh Tyerman (women’s cross country) – earned Big West Freshman of the Year praise. In testament to Cal Poly’s academic integrity, 38 Mustangs collected Big West All-Academic praise. Cal Poly athletes have consistently excelled outside the bounds of the collegiate arena. Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Other prominent post-Cal Poly examples include All-American wide receiver Ramses Barden (2005-08), who was a third-round selection by the New York Giants in 2009. Former linebacker Chris Gocong (2002-05) – one of Cal Poly’s three Buck Buchanan Award winners as the Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player – made 35 starts in three active seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before signing with the Cleveland Browns in 2010. As a member of Plymouth Argyle Football Club, former men’s soccer midfielder Anton Peterlin is the only Big West player to have appeared in an English Football League match. As of August 2010, the Cal Poly baseball program had produced three current Major League players while 18 former Mustangs were active in the minors.

12 Great West Conference The Great West Conference is made up of 10 intercollegiate institutions that range geographically from New Jersey to Texas to California. The 10 member schools are spread out over seven states and four time zones, giving each school added exposure -- both in terms of media and recruiting -- in new destinations. The conference affiliation also generates much interest within the 10 institutions' substantial alumni base. The conference, which began as a football-only league, took a giant leap in the collegiate athletic world when the conference expanded to include several additional sports and several new members. Joining the league on July 10, 2008 were Houston Baptist University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of North Dakota, University of South Dakota, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley University. Chicago State accepted the league's invitation to join in October, 2008. These seven schools joined football-only members Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah to make up the 10-member league. In addition to football, championships conducted during the 2008-09 academic year were men's and women's cross country, men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field, and men's and women's golf. Team sports in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball began league play in 2009-10. As the conference began planning for multi-team sport competition in 2009-10, several teams were added in the sports of women's soccer and baseball to help provide a more diverse and competitive field. Delaware State, Howard and South Carolina State joined as associate members in women's soccer, giving the Great West a pair of four-team divisions. Northern Colorado and New York Institute of Technology joined as associate members in baseball, giving the Great West eight playing members. In addition, Seattle was added as an associate member in cross country and track and field in 2009. Officially announced Feb. 25, 2004, charter members of the Great West Football Conference were Cal Poly, UC Davis, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State and Southern Utah. Conference competition began on Sept. 4, 2004 with UC Davis scoring a 52-0 win over South Dakota State and Northern Colorado notching a 15-13 win over North Dakota State. The Great West continues its proud tradition in football and has been rated
as one of the best in Football Championship Subdivision and ahead of Football Bowl Subdivision leagues such as the MidAmerican Conference and the Sun Belt. The league boasted wins over FBS teams the last five years, with victories over Ball State, San Diego State, Minnesota and Central Michigan. In the final CSN poll of 2006, NDSU was 5th, Cal Poly 14th, SDSU 21st and UC Davis 24th, giving the Great West 80 percent of its membership in the rankings. Cal Poly and UC Davis shared the league's championship with identical 4-1 records in 2005, with Cal Poly gaining an atlarge entry into the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. The Mustangs advanced to the second round of the playoffs after avenging a regular season loss with a victory at Montana before losing at Texas State. Cal Poly ranked No. 6 in the final 2005 USA/Today/ESPN Coaches I-AA Top 25 poll and returned to the FCS Playoffs in 2008, ranked No. 8 in the final poll. UC Davis put the Great West on the map early in the 2005 season with a win over Stanford in what media observers believed to be the biggest upset of the 2005 college footGreat West Champions ball season. 2004 Cal Poly The Great West Conference recog2005 Cal Poly and UC Davis nizes student-athletes on both a weekly 2006 North Dakota State and full-season basis. Individual 2007 South Dakota State awards include Players of the Week; 2008 Cal Poly All-Conference teams; an Academic 2009 UC Davis All-Conference team; and Player, Newcomer and Coach of the Year awards. The league also crowns team champions for both regular season and post-season competition. The governance of the Great West Conference remains primarily with the member institutions. Each member institution is represented on the President's Council by its respective CEO. The general operations and management of the Conference will be conducted by the Directors of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrators (Joint Council). Scheduling of contests, assignment of officials and certain media relations functions remain with member institutions. Great West members Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah remain atlarge candidates for NCAA FCS post-season playoff consideration, with South Dakota and North Dakota becoming candidates in 2012.

His coaching career included a stint as defensive coordinator with the Oakland Raiders (1995-97) and as a defensive assistant with the Los Angeles Rams (1982-91). Mel Kaufman was a starter for the 1980 NCAA Division II Championship team at Cal Poly. An undrafted free agent, Mel won three Super Bowl championships as a starter with the Washington Redskins in 1982, 1983 and 1987. Gary Davis played for the Miami Dolphins for three seasons after a stellar career as a running back at Cal Poly. He also played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns, finishing his football career in 1982.

First he was a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1960s when the team went to the first Super Bowl. Later he helped build the Miami Dolphins as the personnel director into a successful franchise before moving to the Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins in 1978. Most recently he was the General Manager for the San Diego Vincent Jackson Chargers when they too went to the Super Bowl and was a senior advisor to the CEO of the Atlanta Falcons. Stan Sheriff is one of the legends of Cal Poly football. He was an All-American performer and participant in an East-West Shrine Game and Hula Bowl.

Offensive lineman Matt Roan signed a free-agent contract with Minnesota in April 2008. UC Davis Drafted in 1983, the “Year of the Quarterback,” Ken O’Brien led the AFC in passing in 1985 for the New York Jets. He passed for 25,094 Rolf Benirschke yards during his career (1983-93), placing him just ahead of Bob Griese on the all-time NFL career list. Rolf Benirschke set San Diego Charger records for career field goals (146) and scoring (766) and is a member of that team’s Hall of Fame. He also authored “Alive and Kicking,” which chronicles his heroic battle with ulcerative colitis. Bo Eason, who was a defensive back with the Houston Oilers from 1984-87, is a UC Davis graduate. Quarterback Mike Moroski of UC Davis played in the NFL from 1979-86 with Atlanta, Houston and San Francisco and is offensive coordinator with the Aggies. Defensive tackle John Faletoese (Buffalo) and offensive guard Jonathan Compas (Oakland) signed free-agent contracts in 2009. Currently on NFL rosters are Compas (Tampa Bay), quarterback J.T.

15 2010 Season Preview: Transforming Goals into Reality on the Field
I
s Cal Poly poised to make a run at its fourth Great West Conference title in the seven-year history of the league? Can the Mustangs make a run at its third NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth, or even a national title? Those are lofty goals, to be sure, especially from a team that won Senior just four of 11 games a year ago, couldn't win a single game on the road, surrendered nearly 28 points and 400 yards a contest and finWide Receiver ished out of the national polls for the first time since 2003. The 2010 Mustangs under second-year head coach Tim Walsh think they can achieve the first plateau -- a Great West title. "Our No. 1 goal has to be win the Great West," said Walsh. "That is the only goal we have. We will go out and win each game as they come, but we can't start talking about the national playoffs until we win the Great West. Linebackers "Our other goal is to play well and Marty Mohamed, Senior (6-1, 233) win weekly," (93 Tackles, 3.0 Sacks, 3 Breakups in 2009) Walsh added.

Williams and Nico Molino and safeties Xavier Ramos, Logan Budd and Angel Morales. Molino is a transfer from Northern Arizona. Jackson (fractured wrist), Samoodi (torn hamstring) and Williamson (fractured collarbone) all missed most of spring drills with injuries, but all were expected to be ready for the Defensive Backs start of Fall Camp in August. Asa Jackson, Junior (5-11, 188) Walsh and his coaching staff brought back the 4-3 (48 Tackles, 2 Int., 6 Breakups in 2009) defensive formation a year (42 Tackles, 2 Int., 10 Breakups in 2008) ago -- Cal Poly used the 3(First-Team All-Great West in 2008, 2009) 4 package under Rich Greg Francis, Junior (6-1, 190) Ellerson from 2001-08 -(32 Tackles, 3 Interceptions in 2009) and the players are still (65 Tackles, 2 Int., 6 Breakups in 2008) adjusting to the new Scottie Cordier, Senior (5-8, 185) scheme. "Last year we came in (38 Tackles, 4 Inte., 2 Breakups in 2009) and kept things pretty sim(21 Tackles in 2008) ple defensively," said (25 Tackles, 2 Int., 1 Breakup in 2007) Walsh. "We've added some Bijon Samoodi, Sophomore (5-10, 185) coverages we think will go (44 Tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 Interception in 2009) along and complement the things we've done in the past. We didn't want to overload our players a year ago and now we're further along as far as our defensive package this fall." Now to the offense, which to most football fans means who will start at quarterback. The Mustangs' preseason depth chart has both returning starter Tony Smith and 2009 backup Andre Broadous on the top line at signal caller, separated by the word "or". "Quarterback continues to be a battle to see who wins it and hopefully that will be decided seven to 10 days into fall camp," said Walsh, who has added the shotgun formation to his offensive repertoire. "We've added some things to the offensive scheme that we think can benefit our quarterback and makes us more multiple on offense," noted Walsh. "With the personnel we have, we need to run the triple option well and make people defend it." Although Cal Poly lost Quarterback its last four games a year ago, Smith put together a Tony Smith, Senior (6-1, 190) late-season surge in which he completed 60 of 107 (112-219-8, 1,618 yards, 15 TD in 2009) passes for 896 yards and 10 (3-7-0, 31 yards, 0 TD in 2008) touchdowns in those four Andre Broadous, Sophomore (6-0, 197) contests. (0-0-0, 0 yards, 0 TD in 2009) The senior finished his junior year connecting on just over half of his passing attempts (112 of 219) for 1,618 yards and 15 scores. “He’s one of the guys we know what he’s good at and what he needs to work on,” said Walsh. “He needs to prove he’s the guy to run our offense. He’s a leader and he’s a competitor, but he needs to be more of a threat in this offense.” Broadous, now a sophomore, had an excellent spring game, completing all four of his passes for 91 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed 14 times for 74 yards and another score. Broadous took a few snaps last fall, but did not throw a pass and carried the ball just nine times for eight net yards.
“With Broadous, we think just the opposite of him (than we do with Smith),” said Walsh. “We know what Andre can do with the ball, but he needs to show an ability to make good decisions at the line of scrimmage." Sophomore Doug Shumway and redshirt freshmen Fullback Duke deLancellotti, Vince Moraga and Kenny Jake Romanelli, Junior (6-3, 230) Johnston will back up (107 carries, 492 yards, 2 TD in 2009) Smith and Broadous. (First-Team All-Great West in 2009) Romanelli and Yocum Jordan Yocum, Senior (6-0, 220) each ran for over 450 yards (115 carries, 459 yards, 1 TD in 2009) in 2009 and anchor the (44 carries, 353 yards, 3 TD in 2008) fullback position behind (43 carries, 257 yards, 0 TD in 2007) the quarterback. Romanelli earned first-team All-Great West honors as a sophomore while Yocum hopes to add to his 1,049 career rushing yards as a Mustang in 2010. Jon Hall, Jono Grayson and Jaymes Thierry all exhausted their eligibility last fall, leaving holes at the pair of slotback positions. Mark Rodgers, a transfer from West Virginia who rushed for over 5,000 yards in two seasons at Leuzinger High School in Hawthorne, could be the anchor if he overcomes academic issues in the summer. If Rodgers can't answer the bell, slotback duties will fall on the shoulders of juniors David Mahr and Slotbacks Jarred Houston, who combined for just 17 carries David Mahr, Senior (6-2, 240) and 66 yards a year ago. (16 carries, 54 yards, 1 TD in 2009) Other candidates at slot(19 catches, 194 yards, 1 TD in 2009) back include redshirt freshman Gabriel Umoh, transJarred Houston, Junior (5-11, 195) fer Brandon Michalkie(1 carry, 18 yards, 0 TD in 2009) wicz from Sierra College, junior Blake Page and true freshmen K.J. Cusack and Austin Mahr. "Slotback is a concern," Walsh admitted. "Rodgers is a huge piece of the puzzle. Between the kids we signed at slotback and the guys who are walking on, we have a good pool to pull from. Houston's move to slotback makes us faster. Overall, we're deeper and faster, which was a priority this offseason." Johnson, who caught 43 balls for 741 yards and six touchdowns last fall, including mind-boggling numbers of 13 receptions, 273 yards and a schoolrecord five scores in one game against South Dakota, tops the group of wide receivers this fall. “The emergence of D.J. last year is one of our strengths heading into this season,” said Walsh. “He can cause some teams a lot of problems.” Eric Gardley, another senior who caught 11 passes a year ago, is the leading candidate at the other wide receiver position. The backups include returning lettermen Mike Anderson, Josh Swaney and Ryan Taylor -- who combined for seven catches a year ago -- along with newcomers Eric Alsaker, Lance Cantaneda and Kenny Mitchell. Linebacker Marty Mohamed has Senior Kellen Moriarty, a defensive back the last two notched 204 tackles, including years, will move to wide four sacks, in first three receiver this fall. He was a campaigns at Cal Poly. quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back at Dos Pueblos High School in Santa Barbara. Walsh has to smile when he sees the depth chart of the offensive line. All five starters in the season opener last year -- tackles Scott Winnewisser and Art Munoz, guards Maurice McClure and Will Mitchell and center Hal Kelley -- are back for the 2010 campaign. There is one small dent, however, as Munoz is still recovering from his fractured leg suffered in the second game at Ohio last year and may need a little more time to get ready for 2010. Giovanni Sani, who as a true freshman started the remaining nine games in place of Munoz last year, will step in again in 2010 if necessary. Other backups include Geoff Hyde at center, Brock Morris, Matt Duffy,
17 McClure -- are three pretty good players and they are surrounded with three quality outside linemen in Winnewisser, Munoz and Sani," Walsh added. "The expectations on the line are going to be high. The experience we have and the talent we have up front will allow us to do some other things." On special teams, Cal Poly lost punter Harlan Prather to graduation, but Chris Pinto and Jake West return and will be joined by newcomer James Langford, who was 44-for-44 on PAT kicks and eight of 12 on field goals as a senior at Foothill High School in Pleasanton last fall. He also produced touchbacks on 86 percent of his
Wide Receivers
James Chen, who sat out almost the entire 2007 campaign after injuring his knee in the opener, has recorded 56 tackles in last two seasons. Mike Freeman, Bobby Nelson and newcomer Lefi Letuligasenoa at guard and Lucas Trily and Matt Bertole at tackle. Kelley missed a couple late-season games, giving Hyde, a true freshman in 2009, a chance to show his skills snapping the ball. In all, all 14 offensive linemen on the Mustang roster a year ago return this fall. "Having that kind of experience there is a huge plus for us," said Walsh. "It allows us to be much deeper on the line than in the past, going eight or nine deep with quality players. "The inside guys -- Mitchell, Kelley and
Dominique Johnson, Senior (6-4, 225) (43 catches, 741 yards, 6 TD in 2009) (34 catches, 373 yards, 1 TD in 2008 at UCLA) (25 catches, 322 yards, 4 TD in 2007 at UCLA) (Second-Team All-Great West in 2009) Jarred Houston, Junior (5-11, 195) (6 catches, 74 yards, 1 TD in 2009) Mike Anderson, Senior (6-2, 202) (5 catches, 86 yards, 3 TD in 2009) Eric Gardley, Senior (5-11, 175) (11 catches, 203 yards, 1 TD in 2009) kickoffs and hammered a 57-yard field goal in an all-star game. Pinto likely will be the punter while West and Langford will battle for placekicking and kickoff duties. "Pinto can punt the ball well, which he did in the Spring Game," said Walsh. "West is good from distance, but not good with the gimmes, and Langford will have to come in and compete for the job." Pinto made 28 of 30 PAT kicks and eight of 13 field goals a year ago, leading the Mustangs in scoring with 52 points. West averaged 49.7 yards per kickoff in 2009 with one touchback.
Offensive Line Will Mitchell, Senior (6-1, 285) (28 Starts in First Three Seasons) (Second-Team All-Great West in 2009) Maurice McClure, Junior (6-3, 285) (11 Starts in 2009) Art Munoz, Senior (6-2, 275) (10 Starts in 2008) Scott Winnewisser, Junior (6-5, 275) (11 Starts in 2009) Hal Kelley, Senior (6-0, 265) (11 Starts in 2009) Troy Shotwell returns as the long snapper, Mike Anderson is expected to be the holder, Asa Jackson will return punts and Houston and Gardley likely will handle kickoff returns.
Linebacker Kenny Jackson notched 58 tackles as a redshirt freshman last fall and moves to Sam linebacker.

T
im Walsh, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the United States Military Academy the last two seasons, was named Cal Poly’s 16th head football coach on Jan. 9, 2009, and guided the Mustangs to a 4-7 mark in his first campaign. “Tim Walsh brings all of the qualities we were looking for in a head coach for our football team,” Cal Poly director of athletics Alison Cone said. “He is a quality leader who understands the unique culture at Cal Poly. He knows how to help young men reach their potential in the classroom, as citizens, and on the football field. We had several outstanding applicants from which to choose, but I am thrilled we were able to hire a person with such outstanding credentials to direct our program. “He has the ability to continue the success the Cal Poly football program has enjoyed the last six years and that the community and the university will be proud of and excited to support,” Cone added. Walsh replaced Rich Ellerson, the Mustangs’ head football coach for the last eight seasons. Ellerson was named head coach at Army on Dec. 26, 2008. “We had several outstanding applicants from which to choose, but I am thrilled we were able to hire a person with such outstanding credentials to direct this program,” Cone said of Walsh. “He is a highcharacter, high-quality individual who will bring great passion and enthusiasm to our campus.”
121-89 Record (19 Years) Six Postseason Playoff Berths 13 Winning Seasons in 19 Years 14 All-Americans at Portland State Five Walter Payton Award Finalists One Buck Buchanan Award Finalist Eddie Robinson Award Finalist (1999)
Walsh has compiled a 121-89 record in 19 seasons as a college head coach, including four years at Sonoma State (2714 from 1989-92), 14 more seasons at Portland State (90-68 from 1993-2006) and one at Cal Poly (4-7 in 2009). He guided Sonoma State to the Northern California Athletic Conference title in 1991 (ending UC Davis’ streak of 20 consecutive conference titles), a pair of NCAA Division II playoff berths while at Sonoma State and four more postseason berths while at Portland State. “I have a tremendous working knowledge of Cal Poly, its history and current status,” said Walsh. “The combination of a tremendous academic university, a tremendous area to recruit and live, and a football program that’s winning all added up to a great opportunity for me. “My goals are to continue to recruit student-athletes whose goals are to be the best they can be, both in the class and on the field, and become quality young men,” Walsh added. “If we do that, winning won’t be a problem. This is an opportunity to build a great program and develop a great relationship between the campus and the community at large.” Ted Tollner, former Mustang quarterback who has held numerous coaching positions at the college and professional levels, praised the hiring of Walsh. “He did an excellent job at Portland State and is extremely well respected in the profession,” said Tollner. “Cal Poly had some great candidates for the position and I think he’s an excellent choice.

will keep the program moving forward and continue the success it has had in recent years. “People who have worked for him have great respect for his total abilities from a recruiting standpoint, his communication with players, his sound philosophy and his winning record,” Tollner added. “His track record speaks for itself.” Added Bobby Beathard, also a former Mustang who has held numerous positions in the NFL, including scout, personnel director and general manager, "Tim Walsh is a terrific choice. He will be a tireless recruiter, he knows what athletes are and what kind of athletes will fit into the program. "I am excited about him. it's a great choice," Beathard added. "When you find a guy that is really good for you, you grab him and I am glad Cal Poly hired him." A charismatic speaker and motivator, Walsh guided Sonoma State to three winning seasons in four years at the helm of the Seawolves and 10 more above-.500 campaigns in his 14-year term at Portland State. With the Vikings, Walsh coached 14 AllAmericans and 11 Academic AllAmericans. Teri Mariani, who was director of athletics at Portland State when Walsh accepted the duties of offensive coordinator at Army, said at the time of his departure that “Tim showed great loyalty to our program and led us through a transition to Division I that a lot of coaches wouldn’t have wanted to do. He has had proven success both on the football field and off, and he’s always been such a team player within our department. “Two words that describe him in my eyes are loyalty and class,” Mariani
added. “In his 14 years (at Portland State), he has never done one thing that could change that opinion of him” Portland State joined the Big Sky Conference in 1996. During Walsh’s 11 seasons when the Vikings were in the Big Sky, he coached players who earned 39 first-team All-Big Sky honors, 51 on the second team, 80 honorable mentions, 58 Academic All-Big Sky honorees, 59 Big Sky Players of the Week, 20 national player of the week honorees, five Walter Payton Award finalists and one Buck Buchanan Award finalist.

A total of 10 Mustangs earned AllGreat West Conference first- or second-team honors, including first-teamers Jake Romanelli (Fullback), Ryan Shotwell (defensive end) and James Chen (defensive tackle). A Serra High School (San Mateo, Calif.) graduate, Walsh played football at UC Riverside in the mid-1970s as a backup quarterback and earned a bachelor’s degree in history in 1977. He began his coaching career at his high school alma mater, Serra, spending four years (1977-80) as an assistant coach before becoming head coach (1981-85) at Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward. Walsh moved into the college coaching ranks in 1986, becoming an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Santa Clara for one season.

Hayward now plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Lupfer’s defense also dominated the Big Sky in 2004, leading the league in every major category, including scoring defense (20.3), rushing defense (110.1) and total defense (346.3). Prior to his post as defensive coordinator, Lupfer coached the Vikings’ defensive secondary and special teams from 1996-99.

NCAA FCS Playoffs Expand to 20 Teams Frisco, Texas, has been selected as the new host site for the NCAA Division I Football Championship game. Frisco emerged from a pool of several cities that submitted bids to serve as the host site for the championship game for the next three years, beginning with the 2010 season. Hosted by the Southland Conference, the championship game will be played at Pizza Hut Park on Jan. 7, 2011. The championship game will be the culmination of a newly expanded 20-team championship bracket. As a result of this expansion, the game will be played a few weeks later than in years past. Cal Poly qualified for the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in 2005 and 2008. The Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) includes the conferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship, in addition to two conferences who choose not to participate in the football championship, the Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high level competition, student-athlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and the championship experience.

Offense Beats Defense 59-42 in 2010 Spring Game Four touchdowns and a pair of long field goals helped the offense (Green) defeat the defense (White) 59-42 in Cal Poly’s annual Spring Game. Fullback Jake Romanelli and quarterbacks Tony Smith and Andre Broadous all scored touchdowns on runs while Broadous also connected with Eric Gardley on a 60-yard touchdown pass. Senior Jake West, despite missing a pair of extrapoint kicks, booted field goals of 44 and 45 yards for the Green squad, which also collected 28 first downs. The White team recorded three four-and-outs
(three points each), held the offense to a pair of nonscoring drives and also picked up points for a pair of interceptions and fumble recoveries. Johnny Millard and Darryl Williams recorded the interceptions while Sullivan Grosz and Nick Leyden recovered Green fumbles – Leyden returning his fumble recovery 10 yards for a touchdown. “I thought we were much more effecient offensively than in last year’s Spring Game (won by the defense),” said second-year Cal Poly head coach Tim Walsh. “The quarterbacks protected the ball and fin-
ished most of their drives. We are more mature as a group of people on offense.” All six quarterbacks were used by the Mustang coaching staff. Broadous was the most effective as he completed all four of his pass attempts for 91 yards and one touchdown. The sophomore-to-be also carried the ball 14 times for 74 yards and another score. Returning starter Tony Smith completed two of six passes for 12 yards and was intercepted once; he also rushed nine times for 15 yards. Doug Shumway was 4-for-8 for 16 yards.

Mel Kaufman Award Mel Kaufman, a linebacker on the Mustangs’ NCAA Division II national championship team in 1980 and an eight-year veteran of the Washington Redskins of the National Football League, passed away Feb. 7, 2009, in his Santa Margarita home. He died of hemorrhagic pancreatitis about three weeks shy of his 51st birthday. Kaufman, inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993, played in three Super Bowls with the Redskins. Washington won Super Bowl XVII following the 1982 season and Super Bowl XXII after the 1987 campaign while losing Super Bowl XVIII following the 1983 season. Kaufman also was a scout for the Redskins in Super Bowl XXVI after the 1991 season. He was hired as linebackers coach at Cal Poly in the spring of 2008 and helped guide the Mustangs to an 8-3 record, a Great West Conference title and their second NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth. “It’s a tragedy. He was a good man and a compassionate man,” said former Cal Poly head coach Rich Ellerson, now head coach at Army. “He was just a good guy, a passionate guy, a Mustang.” Kaufman had been out of football at the college and professional levels for about 10 years before he was hired to coach the Mustang linebackers. “I hired him because of his past, the number of guys he played with over the years who were passionate about him and the kind of person he was,” said Ellerson. “We took a bit of a chance with him because he hadn’t coached before at this level, but there were a lot of compelling things in his background as a player and scout as well as who he was as a person. “We still needed to teach him how to coach, get a foothold, work up the ranks,” Ellerson added. “It was really hard on him. It was learn by doing for him.” Defensive back LeCharls McDaniel was a teammate of Kaufman on the Mustangs’ 1980 national championship team under head coach Joe Harper. “Mel was a great human being on top of being a great football player,” said McDaniel. He was a great person, always got along with all people, very likeable. People don't know how good a man he really was, but the
people who really knew him know. He affected people in a way he didn't even realize. “Mel and I came to Cal Poly together,” McDaniel added. “Both of us were skinny kids and we both knew we had to work to achieve anything. I tried to protect him and we grew up together. We went into pro football doing the same thing. There were tough times, but it’s a little easier when doing it with friends. He was a true friend, a great football player. He came into Cal Poly at 170 pounds and played with leverage, played with speed and played with confidence that you can only try to teach kids today.” Born Feb. 24, 1958, in Los Angeles, Kaufman earned two varsity letters in football at Santa Monica High School, graduating in 1976. He played four seasons with the Mustangs after a redshirt year in 1976. A defensive team leader and team captain with the Redskins from 198188, Kaufman was a starting linebacker on three National Football Conference championship teams (1982, 1983 and 1987). Following his playing career, he was a scouting supervisor for the Redskins through 1998, giving him 16 years of NFL experience. Kaufman obtained his bachelor’s degree in social science and industrial relations at Cal Poly in 1984. The Mel Kaufman Award, established by current head coach Tim Walsh, is presented annually to the Cal Poly player who most exemplifies the virtues Kaufman became known for off the field. Linebacker Carlton Gillespie has earned the award each of the last two seasons.
64 2009 Season in Review: Tim Walsh Era Opens With Four Victories An entirely new coaching staff, an offense decimated by graduation a year ago, a switch back to the more conventional 4-3 defense and just six senior starters. Those factors eventually contributed to a 4-7 season (1-3 for last place in the Great West Conference) for first-year head coach Tim Walsh and the Cal Poly football team last fall. The Mustangs were 4-3 heading into the final four weeks of the campaign, but lost all four games, three of them on the road where Cal Poly finished winless (0-6) for the first time in 11 years. Injuries also played a role as offensive lineman Art Munoz was lost for the season with a fractured leg suffered in the second game at Ohio and seven other starters missed at least one game. “Anytime you go 4-7, you’re extremely disappointed, as coaches, players, the university and the fans,” acknowledged Walsh. “Our players played through some difficult times. They tried to play hurt, and their attitudes were very rewarding. “Our inexperience and injuries led to some depth problems,” Walsh added. “Other factors included the transition from one coaching regime to another and scheduling. Traveling was difficult. We had a difficult start with back-to-back games against FBS schools followed by two games against FCS playoff teams Montana and South Dakota State, but I thought we were competitive in every game we played except one. We were ahead at halftime in four of our games on the road, but we need to learn how to finish a game.” Cal Poly’s triple-option offense, averaging better than 200 yards per game rushing in the first half of the season, finished with a 178.5 yardsper-game average while the passing game, which struggled at the start with just 671 yards and a 45 percent completion rating in six games, finished strong with 1,015 yards and 56 percent in the final five contests. Jono Grayson averaged “I thought we would run the ball better and more efficiently,” said 17.6 yards per kickoff Walsh. “Much of that was created by return, rushed for 333 a lack of execution along with yards and caught eight injuries. Also, our kick return team didn't meet expectations along with passes in senior season. our inability to play defense with the intensity that we needed.” Three of Cal Poly’s opponents last fall qualified for the NCAA FCS playoffs -- Montana, South Dakota State and Weber State -- while another foe, Ohio, played in a bowl game. The Mustangs’ 11 opponents last fall were a combined 71-59 and Cal Poly was ranked as high as No. 12 in the FCS polls last season before the season-ending four-game losing streak, its longest since 2002 when the Mustangs lost their first five games of the year. Cal Poly, 4-1 at home last fall, struggled on the road, squandering threepoint halftime leads in four contests away from Alex G. Spanos Stadium. In its six games on the road, the Mustangs scored just 20 points in the second half. The 0-6 mark on the road equalled the performance of the 1998 Cal Poly squad. Mustang highlights last fall included junior fullback Jordan Yocum’s career highs of 27 carries and 130 yards in a 28-10 loss at Ohio; his 24 carries for 119 yards at Montana; senior slotback Jono Grayson’s career-high 138 yards and one score, a 53-yard run, against San Jose State; sophomore fullback Jake Romanelli’s career highs of 24 carries and 108 yards in a 2423 win over Southern Utah; and the passing combination of Tony Smith and Dominique Johnson against South Dakota. Smith established career highs of 24 completions, 38 attempts, 407 yards and a school record-tying six touchdowns while Johnson produced career highs of 13 completions, 273 yards and a school record five scores. “What I will remember most about the season is the way we opened it real positively,” said Walsh. “The South Dakota State game was a good win against a quality opponent and another positive was the emergence of some kind of ability to throw the ball down the field.” The Mustangs utilized two defensive touchdowns -- Asa Jackson returned

guys without experience at wide receiver got it this year. We were inexperienced when the season began and the ability to get that experience this year will help us next year. We will have a lot of returning starters that now have that experience. The experience they received this year is invaluable and they will have a better understanding of what we expect from them.” Romanelli edged Yocum for the team lead in rushing, 492-459, and, with his late-season surge, Smith finished over the 50 percent mark in passing, completing 112 of 219 for 1,618 yards and 15 touchdowns.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Junior quarterback Tony Smith rushed for one touchdown and passed for three more scores as No. 12 Cal Poly opened its 2009 football season with a non-conference victory over Sacramento State in Alex G. Spanos Stadium. Smith completed his first five pass attempts of the game and finished 12 of 19 for 218 yards. He also rushed 20 times for 92 yards for Cal Poly (1-0). Sacramento State, losing to Cal Poly for the fifth straight time, fell to 0-2 on the year. Cal Poly now has a 16-15 advantage in the series dating back to 1967. Smith, who ran one yard for a touchdown in the first quarter, connected with sophomore wide receiver Jarred Houston (41 yards), senior slotback Jon Hall (52 yards) and junior wide receiver Mike Anderson (six yards) on touchdown passes as Cal Poly raced to a 38-12 lead in the first three quarters and never looked back. Cal Poly’s other points came on a one-yard touchdown run by senior slotback Jaymes Thierry and a 24-yard field goal by junior Chris Pinto. Pinto made all four of his PAT attempts and junior Jake West added the other. Junior Dominique Johnson, a transfer from UCLA, caught four passes for 61 yards in his Mustang debut. Hall and Houston each added two receptions. Hall contributed 58 yards rushing and junior Jordan Yocum added 53 yards.
ATHENS, Ohio -- Senior quarterback Theo Scott passed for 236 yards and three touchdowns as Ohio defeated No. 12/14 Cal Poly 28-10 in a matchup of a Football Bowl Subdivision team against a Football Championship Subdivision squad. Scott completed 14 of 27 passes with no interceptions and he was not sacked. Ohio scored two touchdowns in the first 17 minutes of the game and never looked back. Cal Poly scored its first points on a 42-yard field goal by Chris Pinto with 2:37 left before halftime. Scott connected with Taylor Price on a 42-yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter as Ohio extended its lead to 21-3. Price, who caught 51 passes a year ago, is a Fred Biletnikoff Award candidate and finished with nine catches for 135 yards Saturday. Scott's third scoring toss spanned 62 yards to Terrence McCrae with 7:20 to go in the game. Cal Poly's only touchdown of the game came courtesy of the defense as sophomore safety Greg Francis returned an interception 60 yards with 2:36 remaining in the game. Ohio's ground attack was paced by Chris Garrett with 91 yards on 17 carries. Cal Poly junior fullback Jordan Yocum established new career highs of 27 carries and 130 yards, his third career game over the century mark in rushing yardage. Smith completed just one of 11 passes for 12 yards. The completion was to Dominique Johnson in the first half. Despite the loss, Cal Poly had an advantage of 5 minutes, 52 seconds in time of possession and 239186 in rushing yards.
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Junior quarterback Jordan La Secla passed for 172 yards and two scores while junior running back Lamon Muldrow rushed for 184 yards and one touchdown as San Jose State rallied in the second half to beat No. 16/14 Cal Poly 19-9. La Secla completed 18 of 32 passes, including scoring strikes to Jalal Beauchman and Marquis Avery, as the Spartans (1-3) earned their first win of the season after losses to USC, Utah and Stanford. Muldrow carried the ball 20 times and scored on a one-yard run to clinch the victory with 4:33 to play. A 53-yard run around right end by senior slotback Jono Grayson with 7:45 remaining in the first quarter gave Cal Poly a 6-0 lead. Junior Chris Pinto’s PAT kick was blocked. Pinto followed with a 30-yard field goal with 3:25 to go in the second quarter for a 9-0 Mustang advantage. The kick capped a 57-yard, 10-play drive. San Jose State, however, scored 19 unanswered points to win going away. Grayson netted 113 of his career-high 138 rushing yards in the first half, surpassing the 100-yard mark for the third time in his Mustang career. He ran for 124 yards against South Dakota State a year ago and 127 yards against Northern Colorado in 2007. The Mustangs were faced with poor field position throughout the second half, starting two drives at their own one and three others at their own 22, 23 and 18. Smith connected on 10 of 25 attempts for 135 yards. He was intercepted once. Junior Dominique Johnson, the transfer from UCLA, caught six passes for 93 yards, a Mustang career high and one short of his UCLA high for catches in a game.

A two-point conversion pass failed, leaving Montana with a 28-23 lead with 8:23 to go. But the Grizzlies clinched the win with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Selle to Reynolds with 3:24 to go. Cal Poly built 10-0 and 17-7 leads in the first half before Montana scored in the final minute. Junior fullback Jordan Yocum netted his fourth career 100yard game, gaining 119 yards on 24 carries. Junior linebacker Marty Mohamed was Cal Poly’s top tackler for the fourth straight game, netting 10 tackles.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Sophomore fullback Jake Romanelli established career highs of 108 yards and 24 carries, scoring one touchdown, as No. 19 Cal Poly defeated Southern Utah 24-23 in the Great West Conference opener for both schools. Southern Utah (2-4, 0-1 Great West) scored with nine seconds remaining on a 15-yard pass from Cade Cooper to Tysson Poots and set up for the potential game-winning two-point conversion. But after Cal Poly called a time out, Thunderbird head coach Ed Lamb elected to go for one. Ryan Griffith’s PAT kick missed wide left. Cal Poly (3-3, 1-0 Great West) beat Southern Utah for the ninth straight time and now leads the series 17-6. The Thunderbirds haven't won in San Luis Obispo since 1987. The Thunderbirds led in most offensive statistical categories, including first downs (26-16), passing yards (263-22), total yards (385-250) and time of possession (32:55 to 27:05). Southern Utah never punted in the game. Mustang quarterback Tony Smith, nursing a cut on his throwing hand, connected on just three of seven passes for 22 yards for Cal Poly. Junior linebacker Marty Mohamed led the Mustangs in tackles for the fifth straight game, notching 12 stops, including four solo. End Ryan Shotwell notched three sacks for the second time in his career and now has 17.5 career sacks, No. 9 on Cal Poly's all-time sacks list. The two teams combined for 110 points and 1,138 yards in total offense a year ago, a Great West Conference game won by Cal Poly 69-41, also in San Luis Obispo.

72 Cal Poly Football History -- 91 Years of Gridiron Tradition
C
al Poly football will play its 92nd season this fall. Ever since that first 1915 team took the field, Cal Poly football has played with pride and tradition. From the stars of yesterday like Perry Jeter, Alex Bravo, Stan Sheriff, Bobby Beathard, Ted Tollner, John Madden, Mel Kaufman and Louis Jackson, to the stars of today like Chris Thomas, Kamil Loud, Seth Burford, Steve Prejean, Adam Herzing, David Richardson, Darrell Jones, Jordan Beck, Chris Gocong, Courtney Brown, Kyle Shotwell and Ramses Barden, Cal Poly has earned its place in college football history. An undefeated and unscored-upon team in 1933, a perfect record in 1953, playoff trips in 1978 and 1990, a national championship in 1980 and the school’s first two trips to the Football Champion- The 1941 team was Cal Poly’s first as a four-year school and posted a 5-3-1 record. ship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) playoffs in 2005 and 2008 are just some of the many memories that have made Cal national ranking in 1997, reaching as high as 16th following a win over Poly football the pride of the campus and community. Several alumni have Northern Iowa at home as the team went 10-1 that year. Hallmarks of the 21st century include a No. 14 national ranking by the earned their place in the professional ranks including Super Bowl champions, NFL front office management and coaching as well as in the television booth. 2003 squad after a 3-0 start; a No. 5 ranking, a 9-2 record and the inaugural Now in its 92nd season of football, the program continues its excellence Great West Football Conference championship in 2004; a second straight under second-year head coach Tim Walsh and his coaching staff, ready for Great West title in 2005 and advancement to the quarterfinal round of the the school’s 17th season of play in the Football Championship Subdivision. FCS playoffs, posting a 9-4 record and finishing No. 6 in the national polls; After competing in the American West Conference for two years (and win- back-to-back 7-4 records for the program’s fourth and fifth consecutive winning the conference title in 1994), Cal Poly was a I-AA Independent for eight ning seasons in 2006 and 2007; and an 8-3 mark, another Great West title, a seasons. But the success didn’t stop there as the Mustangs earned their first national ranking as high as No. 3 and another FCS playoff berth in 2008.
1915 Through the 1940s
Above, Ted Tollner (center) hands off to Carl Bowser (left) and Ray Porras. Tollner was head coach at USC and San Diego State while Bowser was a long-time coach at Bakersfield College. Porras died in the 1960 plane crash. At right, Alex Bravo turns the corner for yardage. At left, Bob Lawson was an All-CCAA fullback in 1952 and 1953. Cal Poly played mostly high school and college freshman teams in the first 16 seasons. Then head coach Howie O’Daniels established a little history in his first year at the helm in 1933. His Mustangs enjoyed an undefeated season and did not allow a single point, something only 30 teams in the history of college football have accomplished. The Mustangs continued their defense in 1934, not giving up a single point until
the fifth game of the season. Cal Poly officially became a four-year school during the 1941 season and posted a 5-3-1 record under Coach O’Daniels. A 32-13 win over over San Diego State in ‘41 followed by a 51-0 win over San Francisco State highlighted the season. The Mutangs did not play football in 1943 and 1944 due to World War II. Ronnie Henderson coached Cal Poly to a 1-5-1 mark in 1945 before
Coach O’Daniels returned to the helm in 1946 and guided the Mustangs to a 6-2-1 mark. Quarterback “Pinky” Bebernes of Santa Maria, along with teammates Marshall Samuels, Dave Cool, Joe Griffin and Al Weimers helped lead the Mustangs to a 21-13 upset win over San Diego State in 1946. Bruisers Jim Yates and Bud MacDougal provided the offensive punch much of that year.

Buccola later was AD at Cal Poly. Above right, the Mustang offensive line in 1963 was anchored by Bob Cardoza (52), team captain Gil Stork (51) and Frank Blakemore (55). Coach Roy Hughes replaced Chuck Pavelko in 1950 and vowed, “In three years, we’ll be tough.” In 1953 he lived up to his promises with an undefeated season. The Mustangs were led by All-American Stan Sheriff along with Don Adams, Vic Buccola and quarterback Bob Neal while backs Perry Jeter and Alex Bravo led the nation in scoring. Some consider the 1958 team the best Mustang squad ever. Led by quarterbacks Bobby Bobby Beathard and Tom Beathard Klosterman, they were as tough as they come. Defensive linemen John Madden and Pat Lovell helped lead the team to 53 forced fumbles while allowing just eight touchdowns
all year and only 175.8 yards per game. Beathard’s astute knowledge and leadership abilities later helped him as a scout in the NFL and as part of the front office for seven Super Bowl teams, including four winning squads. He retired as General Manager of the San Diego Chargers and more recently served as an advisor for the Atlanta Falcons. Madden, a bruising tackle, went on to coach the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl triumph. After four seasons as color analyst for Monday Night Football on ABC, Madden moved over to NBC for its Sunday Night Football telecasts. Madden, who retired in 2009 has been honored with 14 Emmys for his work with all four major networks. He also was a catcher on the Cal Poly baseball team in the late 1950s. In the decade of the 1950s, Cal Poly compiled a 67-29-1 record. All 10 teams were coached by Hughes and the Mustangs beat such teams as San Diego State, Fresno State and Colorado State.

1960s
Fred Whittingham (66) and Gil Stork (51) were members of Cal Poly’s 1960 football team. Stork survived the crash; Whittingham was not on the plane.
Tragedy struck the 1960 Cal Poly football team following a game at Bowling Green State University on Saturday, October 29, 1960. Immediately following takeoff at Toledo Airport, the plane carrying the team crashed and killed 22 people, including 16 Mustang football players and the team manager. On May 1, 1998, the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, IN, dedicated new bronze plaques honoring the Cal Poly men killed in the plane crash along with the victims of plane crashes involving football teams from Wichita State (1970) and Marshall University (1978). Dr. Everett Chandler, Dean of Students at Cal Poly at the time of the crash, helped unveil and dedicate the plaques. Mounted at the Hall of Fame, the plaques immortalize these individuals’ belief in the sport of football and how it symbolizes American society. The names of the deceased are listed for each univerTed Tollner sity on separate plaques. In 2001, Cal Poly announced plans to change the name of Mustang Stadium to Mustang Memorial Field at Alex G. Spanos Stadium. The Memorial Plaza project was completed in 2006 and formally dedicated on Sept. 29, 2006 (see inside back cover). After Cal Poly won just 22 of 67 games in seven seasons following the plane crash, Joe Harper was hired as the Mustangs’ head coach in 1968 and produced 7-3 and 6-4 marks in his first two seasons.
74 October 29, 1960 -- Cal Poly Plane Crash "On Thanksgiving morning this year in the Coliseum, a 'Mercy Bowl' benefit game
will be played to help San Luis Obispo write off its obligations to the tragedy victims, the children they left behind them, and the survivors. My feeling is, it is not only their obligation. It is the obligation of all of us interested in athletics. I can think of no better way to give thanks on that day that we are here and healthy, than to contribute to those who are alone with only memories of that day."

The following is written on a memorial plaque on one of the peristyles at the Los Angeles Coliseum: On Saturday night, October 29, 1960, a plane carrying the Cal Poly 1960 football team, which was returning from a football game with Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH, crashed at the Toledo, Ohio Airport. As a result of this crash, 16 players and the team manager were killed and many injured. To financially assist the families of these athletes, a football game of mercy between Bowling Green and Fresno State was sponsored and staged in the Coliseum on Thanksgiving, November 23, 1961. All proceeds were donated to the Cal Poly Memorial Fund for this purpose.
ALWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS: Prior to each home game, Cal Poly football players pay tribute to the 1960 football team at the memorial rock near the flagpole at the north end of Alex G. Spanos Stadium. For each road trip, the team loads up the buses near Mott Gym, drives to Alex G. Spanos Stadium and walks to the rock for reflection prior to departing campus.
75 1970s A Mustang defense that included Tom Duggan, Greg Lee, Chris Smeland, Dave Quirk, Wayne Robinson and Tom Chantler led Cal Poly to an 8-0-1 record in 1972 and a trip to the Camellia Bowl for the NCAA Division II Championship of the Western United States at Hughes Stadium in Sacramento. After Mike Foley was injured Oct. 7 against Boise State, fullback Mike Thomas carried the load for the remainder of the season from out of the backfield. The Mustangs were ranked No. 3 in Division II by both the Associated Press and the UPI polls during the year. Cal Poly was also ranked No. 3 in total offense with 448 yards per game and No. 3 in scoring with 37.2 points per game. Running back Gary Davis began a stellar three-year Mustang career by assisting the 1973 squad to a 9-1 record. Davis went on to break most Cal Poly rushing records, finishing with 2,368 career yards. The 1976 Mustangs, with Joe Harper at the helm, finished 7-1-1, including a thrilling 17-15 win at Fresno State. The “Excitement Twins,” tailback Louis Jackson and receiver Robbie Martin, helped lead the 1978 squad to a 73 record and an NCAA Division II playoff berth. The two scored half of Cal Poly’s 38 touchdowns that year. Individually, Jackson led Division II in rushing the entire season and finished with 126.3 yards per game (including 267 vs. Portland State), while Martin had 23.1 receiving yards a game. The Mustangs suffered a 17-0 playoff loss to WinstonSalem State (NC) but would get their revenge two years later in the most memorable season in the history of Cal Poly football (see next page). Each of the 10 Mustang football teams in the 1970s posted a winning record, part of a string of 13 consecutive winning seasons under Harper. The streak ended in Harper’s last season, 1981, when Cal Poly went 4-5. Harper went on to coach at Northern Arizona and Cal Lutheran. Among Harper’s 96 wins were seven against Fresno State, three each against Boise State and Nevada and one against UNLV. Clockwise from left, 1973 team captains Chris Smeland, Fred Stewart, Greg Lee and Mike Coulson helped lead the ‘72 Mustangs to the Camellia Bowl; Top receiving corp of the 70s included Dana Nafziger (83), Rick Beatty (89) and Jimmy Childs (85); The 1978 team poses for a photo at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC.; Placekicker Tom Valos (32) still holds school record for his 92 career PAT kicks, including the 44 he made in 1970; Vic Ecklund retired as San Luis Obispo High School head football coach after guiding the Tigers to CIF-Southern Section title in 2001; Upper right, running back Gary Davis played for the Miami Dolphins.
76 1980s
Mustangs Capture National Championship No success was sweeter for the Mustangs than the 1980 season. Quarterback Craig Johnston and senior All-Americans Louis Jackson and Robbie Martin led the Mustangs to the NCAA Division II National Championship with a win over defending champion Eastern Illinois, 21-13, in the Zia Bowl at Albuquerque, NM. Martin scored all three touchdowns in the title game, including a diving 33-yard grab with 14:02 left. He also had a 42-yard punt return for the first Mustang TD. He finished the day with 164 yards to give the school its first NCAA title in footNCAA Division II ball.

Following the championship win over Eastern Illinois, Joe Harper was named Division II Coach of the Year. Cal Poly defeated eventual Division I-AA national champion Boise State 23-20 at home that year. Cal Poly managed only a 4-5 mark in 1981, Harper’s only losing campaign and his last as head coach of the Mustangs. Harper, whose 96 wins are the most by any Cal Poly football coach, went on to coach at Northern Arizona for three seasons and at Cal Lutheran for six years. Jim Sanderson coached the Mustangs to 6-5 and 6-4 seasons in five years at the helm before Lyle Setencich came on board in 1987. Cal Poly went 7-3, 5-4-1 and 5-5 in the first three seasons under Setencich before returning to the playoffs in 1990.

It was a winning combination -- 5-7-9 -- that carried Cal Poly to 1980 NCAA Division II National Championship in Albuquerque, NM. Quarterback Craig Johnston wore No. 7, running back Louis Jackson wore No. 9 and wide receiver Robbie Martin wore No. 5.

Alli Abrew passed for 4,009 yards in two seasons (199697) with the Mustangs.
Mike Fisher is Cal Poly’s all-time career passing leader with 7,494 yards.
The winning continued in the 1990s. Coach Lyle Setencich led the Mustangs to their first postseason appearance since 1980 with a 10-1 record during the 1990 regular season before a loss to North Dakota State in the first round. Standout wide receiver Chris Thomas, who played with the Washington Redskins, St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers in the NFL, helped lead the team to a 14-7 win over Cal State Northridge before another packed Mustang Stadium to propel the Mustangs into the Division II playoffs. In 1994, coach Andre Patterson came to Cal Poly from Washington State, where he was an assistant defensive coach, and led the Mustangs to instant success in the school’s first season competing at the Division I-AA level. The move proved to be the right thing to do as Cal Poly went 7-4 and captured the American West Conference title with an undefeated conference record with wins over Southern Utah, Cal State Northridge and Sacramento State. Quarterback Mike Fisher smashed eight school Cal Poly’s football training camp was held at Camp records and five conference marks with 2,536 yards Roberts in 1999 and 2000.

His strong supporting cast in 1994 included two explosive freshmen, running back Antonio Warren and wide receiver Kamil Loud. The Mustangs were ranked fifth nationally against the rush in their maiden season in Division I-AA. In 1997, the Larry Welsh era kicked off with a bang as the Mustangs went 10-1 and just missed making the I-AA playoffs despite a No.17 national ranking. Warren and Craig Young each rushed for more than 1,000 yards during the season and quarterback Alli Abrew finished the season as the No. 1-rated passer in all of Division I-AA. After a 7-0 start to the season, with wins over No. 16 Northern Iowa and I-A New Mexico State, the Mustangs fell for the first time on the road at Liberty. But a last-second win over Montana State and a 20-point whipping of previously undefeated Dayton at home capped a memorable season. While the team may have struggled the following three seasons, posting back-to-back-to-back 3-8 records, the Mustangs certainly entertained and continued to rewrite the record book. November 4, 2000 will be long remembered in the NCAA record book as one of the greatest offensive performances in recent memory. Quarterback Seth Burford and receiver Kassim Osgood hooked up for a record-setting afternoon against Northern Iowa at Mustang Stadium as Burford finished with a school-record 566 yards passing on the day while Osgood set a new national record with 376 yards receiving to go with his two touchdowns. He caught a school-record 17 passes in the game and was named I-AA Offensive Player of the Week by Sports Network while Burford was honored as the I-AA Player of the Week by ESPN. Osgood was named an Associated Press All-American and now plays for the San Diego Chargers.

78 2001-Present -- Return to Prominence The first decade of the 21st Century at Cal Poly has produced three Great West Conference championships, a pair of NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berths, six consecutive winning seasons -- a streak that was snapped in 2009 -- and national rankings as high as No. 3. In 2001, Cal Poly football fans had reason to get excited again as Rich Ellerson led the Mustangs to a 6-5 record in his first season, thanks to a strong defensive unit and the passing combination of quarterback Seth Burford and Adam Herzing. The pair, who would later sign professional contracts in 2002, would hook up for a school-record 95-yard touch- Jordan Beck, Atlanta/Denver down passing play in the team’s win over Sacramento State.

Cal Poly Football History -- Emmy Award Winner John Madden Legendary NFL broadcaster and former Cal Poly football player John Madden called his final NFL game in 2008 after three seasons with NBC on its Sunday Night Football telecast. He worked for four seasons with Al Michaels as expert analyst for “Monday Night Football” on ABC. Madden, who is synonymous with NFL football for millions of fans nationwide, brought his ability to explain the game’s finer points along with his unique sense of humor to Monday Night Football in 2002 after 21 seasons as a game analyst for CBS and Fox. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has honored Madden with an unprecedented 16 Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst Emmy Awards, the most recent in recognition for his work during the 2008 season. In all, Madden has been
nominated for a record 20 Emmy Awards. In addition, the American Sportscasters Association named him Sports Personality of the Year in 1985 and 1992 and, in 1982, Madden became the first NFL analyst to receive the Touchdown Club of America’s prestigious Golden Mike Award. Prior to joining the broadcasting ranks, Madden had an outstanding career as head coach of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. He guided the Raiders to an overall record of 103-32-7, leading the team to seven AFC Western Division titles and a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI. Madden’s winning percentage (.750) is the best of any head coach in NFL history. A linebacker coach when he began his NFL coaching career with Oakland in 1967, Madden became the head coach in 1969 at age 33, the youngest head coach in the American Football League. Madden retired in 1979 and started his football-broadcasting career at CBS in 1980. Before coaching in Oakland, Madden was the defensive coordinator at San Diego State from 1964-1966 where the Aztecs were ranked first among small colleges with a 26-4 record. From 1960-1964 Madden coached at

Hancock College in Santa Maria. Madden started on both the offensive and defensive lines as a player for Cal Poly in 1957 and 1958 and was voted to the all-conference team. He was also a catcher on the school’s baseball team. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1959 and a Master of Arts degree in 1961, both from Cal Poly. The Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the 21st round of the 1958 NFL draft, but a knee injury in his rookie season prematurely ended his career. Madden is also the author of several books. His latest effort is a cookbook titled “John Madden’s Ultimate Tailgating” released in 1998. His first four books — “Hey Wait a Minute, I wrote a Book,” “One Knee Equals Two Feet (and Everything Else You Wanted To Know About Football),” “One Size Doesn’t Fit All,” and “All Madden,” each written with New York Times sports columnist Dave Anderson — all reached the New York Times best-seller list. Born April 10, 1936 in Austin, Minnesota, Madden was raised in Daly City. He now resides in Pleasanton with his wife, Virginia. The couple, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last fall, has two sons and five grandchildren.

17th Season in Football Championship Subdivision
Seven All-Great West Honorees Return
Cal Poly will play its 17th season of NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) football this fall. After eight years as an independent, the Mustangs competed in the newly formed Great West Football Conference starting in 2004 and has captured three championships (2004, 2005, 2008). Cal Poly played its first two FCS seasons in the now-defunct American West Conference with Cal State Northridge, Southern Utah and Sacramento State.
Cal Poly placed 10 players on the 2009 All-Great West Football Conference first and second teams and seven of the honorees return this fall. They are fullback Jake Romanelli and cornerback Asa Jackson, both on the first team; and wide receiver Dominique Jackson, offensive linemen Will Mitchell and Scott Winnewisser, defensive lineman James Chen and linebacker Marty Mohamed, all second-team selections. Honorable mention linebacker Kenny Jackson also returns.

Trio of Mustangs in the NFL When the National Football League’s 30 teams opened training camps in July, Cal Poly had three former players on active rosters -- defensive end Chris Gocong with the Cleveland Browns and wide receiver Ramses Barden and cornerback Courtney Brown, both with the New York Giants. Linebackers Jordan Beck (Denver Broncos) and Kyle Shotwell were released in 2008 and Brown was let go by the Dallas Cowboys last fall and signed with
the Giants earlier this year. Gocong, Beck and Shotwell were Buck Buchanan Award winners at Cal Poly. Beck was drafted in the third round in 2005 by Atlanta, Gocong was a third-round choice of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2006 and traded to Cleveland last April, Brown was chosen by Dallas in the seventh round in 2007, Shotwell signed as a free agent shortly after the 2007 draft with the Oakland Raiders and Barden was a third-round choice of the Giants in
2009. Shotwell was released by the Raiders on Sept. 1, 2007. He played in exhibition games with the Raiders in 2007 and Indianapolis Colts in 2008 and was on the practice squads of the Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs, all in 2008. Beck was cut by the Falcons on Sept. 3, 2007, signed a free-agent contract with Denver on Oct. 17, 2007 and was released midway through the 2008 season.

116 Osbaldo Orozco: Destined for the Battlefield By Ryan Huff The Tribune San Luis Obispo County
O
sbaldo Orozco wanted to be a soldier long before he came to Cal Poly. After watching “Rambo” as kids, he and his brothers would use broomsticks and knives to attack a make-believe enemy soldier — a cactus in their back yard. Indeed, some would say Orozco was destined for the battlefield, where he died April 26, 2003, on the front lines of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cal Poly officials held a public memorial May 22, 2003, at the campus’ War Memorial Plaza to honor the 26-year-old alumnus and U.S. Army First Lieutenant. “Baldo,” as his friends called him, died when the Bradley fighting vehicle he was riding in rolled over while rushing to help other American soldiers under attack near Tikrit in northern Iraq. At the memorial service, a few hundred people — including family, veterans, students and past teammates — remembered the former school football star who was commissioned as an Army officer on June 16, 2001, the same day he earned his bachelor’s degree in social science. As the late-afternoon sun reflected off the bronze Mustang Statue, school officials added a 64th name to the plaque below that honors Cal Poly students who died on the battlefield.
Osbaldo Orozco wore paint on his face as a Cal Poly football pregame ritual.

He earned All-American honors as a linebacker for the Mustangs and finished his football career in 1999 with 300 tackles — then third on the team’s all-time list. He brought that same passion to academics, said business professor Colette Frayne. She remembered the first day she met Orozco, when she tried to tutor 30 football players after they were exhausted from an afternoon practice. “Most of the players wanted to be Joe Martinez spoke at Cal Poly memorial service. somewhere else,” Frayne said. “But Baldo sat front and center and said, ‘Hi, I’m tunately, it cost us our brother.” The Cal Poly Athletics Department honors the Baldo.

She’s trying to help us what he represented; leadership, outstanding personal achievement, the ability to overcome out.” Toward the end of the memorial service, obstacles, commitment and someone who Orozco’s former teammates gave his wife, reflects sacrifice.

Mustang Memorial Plaza Friends and family of E. Gary Van Horn attended dedication ceremony for Mustang Memorial Plaza.
M
ustang Memorial Plaza at Alex G. Spanos Stadium was formally dedicated September 29, 2006, with over 400 people in attendance, including survivors, friends and family members of those who lost their lives. Cal Poly’s 1960 football team was honorably inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame later that evening at Chumash Auditorium. Richard Equinoa, retired director of career services at Cal Poly, read the names of the 53 members of the team who were inducted. As many as 46 of the inductees were represented at the induction dinner. Gil Stork, a survivor of the Oct. 29, 1960, plane crash at Toledo, Ohio, that took the lives of 18 team members, served as Master of Ceremonies. Representing the 1960 football team at the podium were survivors Carl Bowser and Ted Tollner. The unity and depth of brotherhood shared by the 1960 players made the group an ideal selection for Cal Poly’s unprecedented selection of an entire team for Hall of Fame honors, according to Alison Cone, Cal Poly’s director of athletics. Eighteen of the original 25 survivors of the tragic plane crash are still alive, and most were present for the remembrance ceremonies, as well as a number of family members. “This dedication is one of the most significant moments in Cal Poly’s

history, as well as for me personally,” said Cal Poly President Warren J. Baker. “The new Mustang Memorial Plaza is Cal Poly’s tribute to the 1960 team. With this plaza we will preserve forever the memory of the 18 who perished in the tragic crash, so that their hopes and dreams live on.” A flock of doves was released during the dedication ceremony and PolyPhonics performed two songs. President Baker presided over the unveiling of the granite plaques placed on 18 copper pillars representing each of the 18 team members -- 16 players, a Mustang booster and the team manager -- who lost their lives in the crash. The 15,000-square-foot Mustang Memorial Plaza is rich in symbolism. It is anchored by a striking bronze sculpture of a mustang created by Roy Harris -- aptly titled “Unbridled Spirit” -- which stands at the center of a ‘team huddle’ created by a circle of 18 pillars faced in copper, a metal that grows more beautiful with time. Each of the 18 pillars stands at the same height as that of its honoree. Soft beams of light glow from the tops of the pillars, permanent beacons that serve to guide those who wish to honor the memory of the team. Each pillar displays a granite plaque engraved with the 1961 yearbook photo of the honored individual, statistics for that player, and personal information. As one family member wrote in tribute to its lost loved one, “Always loved. Never forgotten.”
Survivors of the 1960 Cal Poly plane crash include Ted Tollner (left), who spoke at the Hall of Fame dinner; Al Marinai (center), who helped initiate the plaza project; and Gil Stork (right), Master of Ceremonies for both the plaza dedication and Hall of Fame dinner.
