SIDELINE CONTROL—Jacksonville State University follows guidelines set forth by the NCAA in sideline control. The NCAA has established a sideline control policy to keep those areas free from congestion. Only those photographers on assignment will be given sideline passes. The sideline control policy is as follows: (1) Only those photographers on assignment, including student and freelance photojournalists, are given credentials. In addition, each student publication will be issued one press and/or sideline photo pass. (2) Photographers must display their sideline photo passes at all times. If not, they may be asked to leave the stadium. (3) University personnel will be deployed on the sideline to ensure no abuses of these privileges. (4) Photographers are urged to shoot from the end zone to the 30-yard line on either side of the field and from either end zone. (5) Photographers and media should not linger in the bench area (between the 30-yard lines) at any time during the game. (6) Absolutely no player or coach interviews will be conducted during the game.

POST-GAME INTERVIEWS—Jacksonville State’s post-game press conference with head coach Bill Clark and selected players will take place on the sixth floor of the Press Box in the Conference Room, following a 10-minute cooling off period. A member of the JSU Sports Information Office will be on hand to help coordinate player and coach interviews. No children are permitted in the post-game interview room. The visiting team’s post-game press conference will take place outside the team’s locker room, which is located in the northeast corner of BurgessSnow Field.

The Jacksonville State University Board of Trustees approved to name its football field Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium in the summer of 2010 and the Gamecocks will play their 65th season in the facility this year.

Long ago, in the days when Jacksonville State University went by Jacksonville State Teachers College and the athletic teams were nicknamed the “Eagle Owls,” football was played in a field next to John Forney National Guard Armory. In 1946 as JSU began to change, enrollment begin to rise and so did the popularity of football. Seeing the need for a new facility, the school built a stadium in the present location and it was dedicated in front of an overflow crowd at the 1947 Homecoming game against Pembroke. The Gamecocks went on to win that game and posted a perfect 9-0 season, including a 7-0 win over Florida State.

television broadcast facilities, and a game management booth. The stadium was also expanded and now includes 24,000 seats. The natural playing surface was replaced during the summer of 2005 to an artificial playing turf. It was the first major renovation to the stadium since the 1978 season. It took three months to install at a cost of just over $700,000 and was completed in time to hold summer graduation on the new playing field. Improvements in 2007 included two new scoreboards and the addition of “Gamecock Vision” a new video replay scoreboard. It is located in the east endzone and features a 14’ x 24’ ProStar VideoPlus Display that is one of the largest in the OVC. The video replay system utilizes the V-Link 4000 Video Processor and the Venus 7000 Controler. The scoreboard now spans 8’ by 48’ with LED Team Name Message Centers. On the Gamecock Field House, a new scoreboard was installed as Burgess-Snow Field is the only on-campus facility in the OVC to feature two scoreboards. Jacksonville State’s first win in renovated Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium came the hard way, in 2010, but it is one Gamecock fans remember well.

The stadium got a facelift in 1965 when seating was expanded from 5,000 to 8,500 and a new press box was installed on the north side of the facility. Under the supervision of long-time Athletic Director Jerry N. Cole, the field house was constructed in 1977 and the expansion of the stadium was complete in time for the 1978 season when the student section was added to bring the capacity to 15,000.

After a lightning delay that pushed kickoff back 86 minutes, the 22,186 in attendance saw the fifth-ranked Jacksonville State football team score 21 unanswered points to pull of its second fourth-quarter come-frombehind win, a 21-17 thriller over Chattanooga.

Since opening in 1946, Jacksonville State has posted an incredible 23994-8 record at home. Under Crowe, the Gamecocks are 39-17 all-time at home.

One week after the second-largest crowd to ever watch JSU play saw the Gamecocks rally for a double-overtime win over Ole Miss, the largest home crowd in Gamecock history saw junior Marques Ivory find junior James Shaw for a 72-yard touchdown strike with 1:16 remaining and hand the Mocs (0-2) their second heartbreaking loss in as many weeks.

JSU Stadium just completed a $47 million expansion just in time for the 2010 season. The new facility consists of seven stories, with the bottom four floors dedicated to nearly 400 dorm beds. The top three floors will include 33 luxury skyboxes, a new press area, coaches booths, radio and

The record for a single-game crowd for a football game at Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium was set in stadium dedication game of 2010 versus Chattanooga when 22,186 fans witnessed the Gamecocks claim a 21-17 win over the Mocs.

Clark has more than 20 years of coaching experience and has spent the last five years as the defensive coordinator at the University of South Alabama after serving as one of the most successful high school coaches in the State of Alabama. “Our vision and mission are winning conference championships and advancing to the postseason on a regular basis, and we feel like Bill Clark brings the experience and skills to help us achieve our goals,” JSU Athletics Director Warren Koegel said. “When you look at the success that Bill has enjoyed in our state, both on the collegiate and high school levels, we feel like he is the perfect fit to be our head football coach.” Clark’s defense at USA finished second in the Sun Belt Conference in total defense in 2012 as the Jaguars completed their first full season of competition in the league. South Alabama posted the best record of any Division I FCS Independent in 2011 after winning the first 17 games in the program’s history in 2009 and 2010. “I’m very excited about the opportunity to come back home and become the next football coach at Jacksonville State,” Clark said. “Jacksonville State has a great tradition and I’m looking forward to building off the past success, while also making us a national contender on the FCS level in the future.” South Alabama allowed only 13 points per game and 254.6 yards per game in 2010 and went 10-0. The Jaguars gave up only 5.9 points and 234 yards per game in 2009, when the defense forced 25 sacks and forced 23 turnovers in only seven games. “Coach Clark is dedicated to the success of our student-athletes both in the classroom and on the football field,” Koegel added. “We are also proud that both Bill and his wife, Jennifer, are graduates of Jacksonville State University and it became clear during the interview process that Coach Clark has great passion for Jacksonville State University.” Clark joined South Alabama in 2008 after spending nine years as head coach of the nationally ranked Prattville High School.

when the first graduate program—the master’s degree in elementary education—was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education.

INTRO

From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facilities and equipment of Calhoun College, consisting of 12 acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School administered a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Hames, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state; that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school; and that 222 were in the preparatory school.

HISTORY

Jacksonville State University has been served by 11 presidents: James G. Ryals, Jr. (1883-85), J. Harris Chappell (1885-86), Carleton Bartlett Gibson (1886-92), J. B. Jarrett (1892-93), Jacob Forney IV (1893-99), Clarence William Daugette (1899-1942), Houston Cole (1942-71), Ernest Stone (1971-81), Theron E. Montgomery (1981-86), Harold J. McGee (1986-99), and William A. Meehan (1999-present).

“Our student-athletes excel, not only on the fields of competition, but also in the classroom,” added Meehan. “I’m proud to say that we have more than 130 of our student-athletes with a 3.0 grade point average or higher.” In 2013 and beyond, Dr. Meehan hopes to more accurately accomplish the institution’s mission, which means integrating traditional academic programs with career-oriented programs for the students of Alabama. His vision for the future is based on the philosophy that higher education is an engine for economic development serving society and the individual.

arren D. “Moose” Koegel begins his third season as Athletics Director at Jacksonville State University after being named as the school’s sixth full-time Athletics Director on June 1, 2011.

Jacksonville State has enjoyed much success during Koegel’s first two years as Athletic Director, winning six Ohio Valley Conference Championships and finishing in the top 6 in the OVC Commissioner’s Cup, marking the fifth straight year the Gamecocks have finished in the Top 6 in the standings. Additionally, numerous facility upgrades have taken place under his tenure, highlighted by a new $1.5 million softball upgrade with the addition of new grandstands and pressbox for the 2013 season, while construction will take place during the fall for a new home dressing room and sunken dugouts for both teams in time for the 2014 season.

Over his two years, Jax State has claimed OVC Championships in football (2011), softball (2013), men’s golf (2012), men’s golf (2012), and rifle (2012 and 2013). Koegel also served on the NCAA Football Subdivision Committee that helped expand the FCS playoffs for the 2014 season.

Additionally, almost 40 studentathletes have been named to the OVC Medal of Honor Roll with a perfect 4.0 grade point average, while close to 300 student-athletes posted a 3.0 grade point average or higher during the last two academic years.

Prior to joining Jax State in 2011, Koegel spent 10 very successful years as Director of Athletics at Coastal Carolina University. During his tenure at Coastal Carolina, the Chanticleers made 56 NCAA Championship appearances, won 48 Big South Conference Championships and won five Sasser Cups, which is awarded to the top athletic program in the Big South Conference.

While at Coastal, Koegel was responsible for the addition of football to the Chanticleers’ athletic department in 2003. The team won its first of four Big South Championships in 2004 and advanced to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs twice during his tenure.

Koegel oversaw the completion of a 10,000-seat state-of-the-art stadium in 2003, a new athletic facility that houses the football program and includes an expanded weight room, training room, team meeting rooms, locker rooms for football, offices for all football coaches and staff and several conference rooms. He also added new dugouts and seats for baseball and softball, upgraded and built

new locker rooms, a new open-air roofed hitting facility for baseball and softball, was involved in the planning and design of a new convocation center currently under construction, and made numerous other facility improvements to baseball, softball, track, golf, tennis and soccer.

Koegel went to Coastal Carolina from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he had served as an associate athletic director from 1998-2000 under former JSU Athletics Director Oval Jaynes. At Chattanooga, Koegel helped managed a multi-million budget for 16 NCAA Division I sports. His other administrative responsibilities included business operations, athletic scholarships, marketing and serving as the liaison to the coaching staff. He also served on the steering committee for the NCAA I-AA National Championship Football Game.

Prior to his stint at Chattanooga, he had served on the football coaching staffs at the University of Connecticut, Rutgers University and the University of Wyoming. During his tenure on the football coaching staff at the University of Connecticut from 1992 to 1997, he was recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach as well as interim head coach in 1993. Koegel was an assistant football coach at Rutgers University from 1984 to 1990 and Wyoming University from 1977 to 1983. Koegel played in the National Football League from 1971 to 1975, spending time with the Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Jets. He starred at Penn State University under legendary football coach Joe Paterno, where he earned All-American honors. He was co-captain of the Nittany Lions his senior season and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1971. During his college career, he was a Third Team All-American as a senior and played on two Orange Bowl championship teams. He also played in the Hula Bowl, EastWest Shrine Game and the College AllStar Game. Koegel received Penn State’s Dedicated Player and Outstanding Senior Awards.
