2006 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

3

Season Preview The South Dakota State University football team will rely on a mix of youth and experience at key positions as the Jackrabbits prepare for a grueling 2006 season.

Led by a potent running game, strong special teams and a defense with the ability to make clutch plays, the Jackrabbits posted their second consecutive winning season at the NCAA Division I-AA level in 2005 with a 6-5 record, including a 3-2 mark in the Great West Football Conference.

To repeat that success this season, SDSU will have to quickly fill holes in the defense in the secondary and at linebacker. Only 11 of the team’s 42 returning lettermen are on the defensive side of the ball as compared to 28 on offense.

In spite of that relative inexperience, SDSU head coach John Stiegelemeier expects his team to be ready to make plays once the season opener rolls around Sept. 2 against Wisconsin-La Crosse.

“The thing I’m most proud of is the continued commitment of our players, what I would call a championship effort,” said Stiegelmeier, who enters his 10th season as head coach with a 54-43 record.

The Jackrabbits will need that championship effort night in and night out as their schedule features seven opponents ranked in a Division I-AA preseason top-25 poll.

Following is a position-by-position look at all three phases of the game:

OFFENSE

Quarterback After battling through an injury-plagued season in 2005 that also caused him to miss spring ball, Andy Kardoes is once again healthy and slated to start at quarterback, giving the Jackrabbits a dual running and passing threat. A senior, Kardoes started nine games last season, finishing the year with 851 yards passing, while throwing six touchdowns and eight interceptions. With his mobility hampered by injuries, Kardoes managed just 87 yards on the ground with one touchdown.

Kardoes will be backed up by sophomore Ryan Berry, who started two games and played in eight total. Berry completed 58.4 percent of his passes for 711 yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. Five of his TD passes came in one game, tying the 4

THE JACKRABBIT DEFENSE will attempt to improve on its fourth-place ranking in the Great West Football Conference for total defense from a year ago.

school record against Georgia Southern.

Also vying for playing time at quarterback are junior Reed Burckhardt and redshirt freshman Ryan Crawford. Burckhardt tossed two touchdown passes in limited action last season, while Crawford received extensive action during the spring.

Running Back The team’s top three rushers from last year’s squad which led the Great West Football Conference in rushing all return, including second-team all-GWFC honorees Cory Koenig and Anthony Watson.

Watson was the opening-night starter for the Jackrabbits and gained 100-plus yards in each of the first two games of the season before being supplanted by Koenig in the starting lineup by mid-season. Koenig led the ground attack with 987 yards and eight touchdowns, while Watson rounded out the 1-2 punch with 908 yards rushing and a team-best 10 touchdowns.

Junior Trevor Hohn also returns after gaining 379 yards, while compliling a team-best average of 8.1 yards per carry.

Wide Receiver SDSU goes into the season without a go-to receiver following the graduation of its top two receivers from a year ago: career receptions leader Josh Davis and Chris Molitor, who combined to catch 73 passes for 1,129 yards.

Seniors Dusty Snyders and Micah Johnson are the leading returning receivers after hauling in 15 and 13 passes, respectively, in 2005. Sophomore JaRon Harris showed bigplay ability at both the receiver spot and on kickoff returns and is expected to be a greater part of the offense this season, along with junior Chris Doblar and redshirt freshman Mike Steffen.

Tight End The entire tight end corps from a year ago 2006 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

returns, led by junior Chris Wagner, who caught nine passes for 96 yards and two scores. Senior Dan Dykhouse and sophomore Matt Anderson will battle for the second tight end position with Maxon Keating and Luke Greving also in the mix.

Offensive Line Three starters return to a versatile Jackrabbit offensive line. All-conference performer Mitch Erickson is expected to move inside to guard this season, with former walkon Scott Gillen expected to fill in for Erickson at one of the tackle spots. Center Mark Oelkers and tackle Preston Crumly also are slated to return to the starting lineup, with sophomore Nick Flesner penciled in as the opening-day starter at the other guard spot.

With quality depth throughout the line, Kevin Robling, Casey Bender and Luke Witte also should see extensive action this season.

DEFENSE

Defensive Line The interior of the line is solid as junior Mitch Pontrelli and sophomore Eric Schroeder return at nose tackle and defensive tackle, respectively. Schroeder tied for the team lead with seven tackles for loss, with Pontrelli adding five and a half.Their backups are slated to be senior Willie Jones and redshirt freshman Steven Bazata.

At defensive end, Jason Nobiling and Marcus Suhn are expected to hold down the starting spots after returning from injuries suffered last season. Nobiling recorded two sacks last season.

Additional help at defensive end could come from transfer Jason Bonwell, who received junior college All-America recognition after tallying 14 sacks in 2005, as well as sophomore Ruey Dei and redshirt freshman Brad Herman.

Linebacker SDSU returns a good deal of experience among the starters, but the rest of the group remains untested.

Andrew Hoogeveen, an honorable mention all-conference performer last season, is the only returning starter. He tied for second on the team with 63 tackles, including a sack, and returned two interceptions for touchdowns while completing a successful transition to defense.

The other starters are expected to be Marty

Season Preview Kranz and Justin Kubesh. Kranz was fourth on the squad with 56 tackles, while Kubesh added 29 stops.

Their backups have yet to play a down of college football. Redshirt freshmen Isaiah Jackson, Chris Johnson and Matt Grimlie, along with Kris Stone, will play key roles in a revamped Jackrabbit defense.

“We’re real excited about that young crew,” Stiegelmeier said. “That was an excellent class of linebackers.”

Secondary The secondary will have almost an entirely new look as only Jeff Hegge returns among the starters. However, Hegge is moving from cornerback to free safety after a 2005 season in which he notched 54 tackles. He will be joined by free safety Scott Breyfogle, who saw extensive action last season.

Converted wide receiver Brock Campbell is expected to back up Breyfogle, while redshirt freshman Jimmy Rogers and converted running back, sophomore Nash Simet, will back up Hegge.

At cornerback, juniors Tyler Koch and Brock Gentile are slated to move into the starting

lineup. Koch appeared in six games last season and notched two interceptions, while Gentile recorded 19 tackles and broke up two passes in 11 games.

Other candidates to play at cornerback are junior Justin Horn and redshirt freshman Joseph Blackman.

“That’s an area where we will need to see instant maturity based on our schedule,” Stiegelmeier said. “ They just need to go out and play with confidence.”

SPECIAL TEAMS

Kicking Game The Jackrabbits return All-America kicker Parker Douglass, as well as senior punter Neal Bainbridge.

“I think that’s the best duo we’ve had since I’ve been here,” Stiegelmeier said.

Douglass, a junior, rewrote the Jackrabbit record book during the 2005 season, tallying 99 points while connecting on 19-of-26 field goal tries. A third-team All-America selection, Douglass was the Great West Football Conference Special Teams Player of the Year in 2005.

Bainbridge has performed at an all-conference level each of his previous three seasons and helped the Jackrabbits consistently win the field position battle after averaging 42.2 yards per punt during the 2005 season.

The duo are joined in the kicking department by senior Andy Pick, who has handled most of the kickoff duties the past two seasons.

Two other key personnel, long snapper Nash Simet and holder Chris Doblar also return to the Jackrabbit lineup.

Returns SDSU also returns a strong kick return unit.

JaRon Harris returned one kickoff for a touchdown last season, finishing the year with an average of 33.3 yards per return. Micah Johnson added 19.8 yards per kickoff return in nine attempts.

The punt return duties were handled mostly

by Paul Aanonson, who turned in an average of 11.4 yards per return.The junior took one back 70 yards for a touchdown in 2005 as the Jackrabbits held a decisive advantage over nearly every opponent in the special teams department.

Jacks in the Community Throughout the school year, the South Dakota State University football team takes an active role in Brookings and surrounding area communities.

During the 2005-06 academic year, Jackrabbit football players participated in the following community service projects and activities: • Helping conduct the annual Fast-Break Basketball Clinic • Operating a skills booth at the annual Halloween Penny Carnival with proceeds going toward Brookings D.A.R.E. programs • Reading at Medary and Central elementary schools in Brookings • Coaching at the Medary Elementary Spring Fling football clinic • Visiting with residents and serving root beer floats at United Retirement Center in Brookings • Visiting the day care at the United Retirement Center • Conducting a youth football clinic prior to the season-opening game • Participating in a “show and tell” session at the SDSU Preschool • Filming a segment with Amy Grant for the “Three Wishes” television program • Hosting a youth group from Westminster Presbyterian Church from Sioux Falls Many other community service activities are organized through the SDSU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), whose mission is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity for all student-athletes, protecting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student-athlete image.

Taking an active role in the community is a key component of the “Lead-Forward Land-Grant University Plan,” a strategic document prepared by SDSU President Peggy Gordon Miller that outlines goals for the future of the University. The primary goal of this plan is to produce graduates who are: • internationally competitive • globally informed • proficient in speaking, writing, and the use of technology

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN Evan Skiles and Casey Knips were among the Jackrabbit football players to visit youngsters at the SDSU Preschool during the 2005 season.

JACKRABBIT RUNNING BACK Jordan Paula congratulates a youngster on completing a drill during a football clinic. SDSU hosts a youth football clinic every year prior to the season opener.

• able to embrace change in positive ways • socially responsible The SDSU Athletic Department embraces and encourages implementation of all points of this plan. In particular, within the department, the expectation of social responsibility from student-athletes is strongly promoted.

The department and its employees understand the important role South Dakota State University plays in the city of Brookings, as well as in the state of South Dakota. Because the athletics program and its student-athletes derive so much support — both financial and emotional — from the residents of the city, state, and region, importance is placed on giving back to the community through service projects, volunteering, and fund-raising for charitable organizations.

COACHING STAFF

Coach Stig

J

ohn Stiegelmeier continues to lead the South Dakota State University football program through its transition to the NCAA Division I-AA level as he enters his 10th season as head coach.

Stiegelmeier has led South Dakota State to a 54-43 record (.557 winning percentage) in his nine seasons as head coach, ranking him third on the SDSU career charts for football coaching victories. SDSU has posted four consecutive winning seasons, including SDSU’s first two campaigns at the Division I-AA level in 2004 and 2005. Overall, the Jackrabbits have had a winning record in seven of Stiegelmeier’s nine years as head coach.

“I continue to be amazed by the quality of the individuals that I am blessed to work with.

From top to bottom, we have great people in our program. I couldn't ask for a better staff or better players. SDSU football is full of great people.”

In 2004, SDSU’s first season at the Division I-AA level, Stiegelmeier guided the Jackrabbits to a 6-5 record, including a 2-3 mark good for a tie for third place in the newly formed Great West Football Conference. SDSU posted another 6-5 mark in 2005, improving to a 3-2 record in the GWFC.

“Our players continue to embrace the move to Division I.The commitment and the effort of our program has been exceptional, coaches included. As the head football coach, I am most proud of the attitude within our program. I feel blessed to be part of such a great effort considering the infant stages of our move to Division I and all that will happen for our players and coaches in the near future.”

Stiegelmeier, 49, is the 20th head coach for the Jackrabbits. His tenure of 10 years as head coach ties him with one of his coaching mentors, John Gregory, for the second-longest head coaching stint in school history. Stiegelmeier first became acquainted with the Jackrabbit football program as a student assistant under Gregory during SDSU’s only NCAA playoff season, in 1979.

After graduating from SDSU with degrees in mathematics and physical education, Stiegelmeier enrolled in graduate school at the University of Northern Iowa, where he served on the coaching staff of a Panther squad which posted a 7-4 mark in 1981.

Stiegelmeier coached at Eau Claire (Wis.) North High School from 1981-84, then returned to his home state as defensive coordinator, secondary coach and recruiting coordinator at Northern State University from 1984-87. Northern was 8-3 in his last season with the Wolves and finished fourth in the nation in total defense.

After NSU, Stiegelmeier went back to school, enrolling at the University of Wisconsin, where he was a graduate assistant on the staff headed by Don Morton while working on his doctorate.

The Selby native returned to his alma mater in July 1988, joining Wayne Haensel’s Jackrabbit coaching staff as secondary coach and recruiting coordinator. After Haensel stepped down

2006 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

Coach Stig following the 1990 season, Stiegelmeier was elevated to defensive coordinator by new head coach Mike Daly.

In six seasons as defensive coordinator, Stiegelmeier helped guide the Jackrabbits to a 41-23 record, turning in a winning record over all six seasons.

That track record of success helped Stiegelmeier secure his first head coaching position in December 1996, when he was named Daly’s successor.

The Stiegelmeier era opened in style Sept. 13, 1997, as the Jackrabbits recorded a 17-7 victory at UC Davis. Although SDSU finished Stiegelmeier’s first season with a 4-6 record, the foundation was laid for future success.The Jackrabbits posted a 6-5 record during the 1998 season and broke through with an 8-3 overall mark and a 6-3, fourth-place showing in the North Central Conference.

Led by Harlon Hill candidate Josh Ranek, SDSU posted its most victories in 20 years in 1999 and was ranked 15th in the final NCAA Division II regular season poll, despite being picked sixth in the NCC race by both the coaches and media.

That season, Stiegelmeier was named North Central Conference Coach of the Year.

SDSU went on to post upper-division finishes in the NCC three of its last four years before moving into the ranks of Division I-AA in 2004.

Aside from coaching, Stiegelmeier is active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, serving as a Team Huddle Leader. He and his wife, Laurie, are the parents of four children: sons Isaac and Samuel, and daughters Anna and Liesbeth.

10-YEAR REVIEW As John Stiegelmeier prepares for his 10th season as head coach at South Dakota State, he reflects on the ideals on which he has built his program and what lies ahead for Jackrabbit football.

Program Philosophy “Everything in our program is governed by our philosophy termed ‘The Jackrabbit Way.’We have solid and consistent principles that we live by. Some of those principles are: • Team First • Belief • Excel • Effort • Character • Family I have studied many programs that have trouble defining what they stand for. We know exactly what we stand for — ‘The Jackrabbit Way.’ Coaching Staff “I have two main requirements for our staff: Work hard and be men of character. I promise you our assistants work extremely hard — on

and off the field. They will demand perfection from our players on and off the field. One of the fundamental principles of ‘The Jackrabbit Way’ is family. Our coaches work hard to create and maintain a family environment. Their doors are always open.”

Great West Football Conference: “From its inception until now, I have felt tremendously blessed that our program has been in a conference. Not only has it been a conference to compete for a championship and for individual honors, but the level of competition has been outstanding. We would love to have more members and that will happen down the road as other schools make the move (to Division I-AA). However, at present, we are excited to compete in the outstanding Great West Football Conference.”

Schedule “It has been obvious that as we go through the Division I reclassification process our schedule becomes more difficult.The 2006 season is proof. This is our toughest schedule with seven of our opponents ranked in the

2006 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

preseason Top 25. Our goal is to win a National Championship after our reclassification is complete.To prepare yourself for that, you must play the best.”

Facilities “I am asked all the time about facility improvements. Do we need them? Yes. More importantly though, we do have everything we need to get the job done.There are some areas that I honestly feel we are in great shape.

Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, with the addition of the new scoreboard, is a great facility. Our meeting rooms, although not plush, are very useable and accessible. I am keenly aware of the fact that facilities help our staff recruit.

However, players, not facilities, win games.”

Jacks in the Pros “In my tenure at State we have been blessed to have had some great student-athletes who have gone on to play professional football. All our players, but specifically the seven I have coached who have played professionally, are proof that we should all pursue our dreams.”

An SDSU fumble led to a 46-yard field goal by Andrew McCawley as Valparaiso took an early 3-0 lead.

However, it took the Jacks just two plays to go on top for good as Chris Molitor scored off a 76-yard reverse pass from Josh Davis.

Cory Koenig added a 1-yard run to put SDSU up 14-3, capping a drive which started with a Jason Nobiling fumble recovery at the VU 33.

GAME 4: Cal Poly 24, SDSU 16

Sept. 17, 2005 • Washington-Grizzly Stadium (Att. 23,086)

Sept. 24, 2005 • Coughlin-Alumni Stadium (Att. 10,633)

MISSOULA, Mont. — Fourth-ranked Montana limited South Dakota State to 108 total yards in downing the Jackrabbits 7-0 before a sellout crowd of 23,086.

Montana scored the lone touchdown of the game with 4:18 remaining in the first quarter on a 6-yard run by Lex Hilliard.That capped a nine-play, 54-yard drive after the Jacks punted for the first of eight times in the game.

The Jackrabbits could not capitalize on a golden opportunity to tie the game in the fourth quarter. After a blocked punt put the ball at the Montana 43, SDSU marched down the field to a first and goal from the Montana 5-yard line. However, a botched snap pushed the Jackrabbits back to the 16 and a potential tying touchdown was called back when the officials ruled SDSU quarterback Andy Kardoes threw the ball past the line of scrimmage.

After Montana took over on downs, the Grizzlies were able to run out the clock.

Hilliard gained 128 yards on 25 carries to lead the Montana offensive attack. Jason Washington was 18-of-29 passing for 114 yards, with Jon Talmage catching nine balls for 62 yards.

Montana ran 21 more offensive plays than the Jackrabbits, 77-56, rolling up 300 yards of total offense.

SDSU was held to 28 net yards rushing, with Anthony Watson leading Jackrabbit rushers with 54 yards on 16 carries.

Kardoes finished the game 9-of-24 passing for 80 yards. He threw one interception and was sacked five times. Josh Davis caught three passes for 80 yards.

One bright spot for the Jackrabbits was junior punter Neal Bainbridge, who punted eight times for an average of 44.8 yards. He landed five of his punts inside the Montana 20-yard line, including three inside the 5-yard line as the Jackrabbits won the field position battle.

SDSU’s defense was led by linebacker Andrew Hoogeveen, who made 12 tackles with one sack and recovered a fumble. Billy Ray Kirch added 10 tackles.

Cal Poly quarterback Anthony Garnett rushed for three touchdowns and completed nine passes for 182 yards, leading the Mustangs to a 24-16 victory over SDSU in the 2005 Great West Footballl Conference opener for both teams in the 39th Annual Beef Bowl.

Cal Poly used quick drives to score on its first two possessions of the game, then had another scoring burst to start the second half.

Down the stretch, the Mustang defense held when it had to.

Statistically, SDSU had some huge advantages: 38:37 to 21:23 in possession time, 79 offensive plays to 47, and 22 first downs to 11. But it added up to just a 344-322 advantage in total offense.

SDSU’s first possession of the game resulted in a punt on a fourth-and-25 play from its own 5-yard line.

After the ball went out of bounds at the Jackrabbit 30, Garnett hooked up with Jonah Russell for a 29-yard gain on the first play, and Garnett followed with a 1-yard TD run on the next play.

After another Jackrabbit punt, Cal Poly needed only four plays to cover 50 yards, scoring on another 1-yard run by Garnett, making it 14-0 Cal Poly less than seven minutes into the game.

From that point, it was a slugfest. SDSU closed within 17-13 at halftime, getting a 33-yard scoring run by Cory Koenig and two field goals by Parker Douglass, the second a school-record-tying 52 yarder on the last play of the half.

Again, Cal Poly struck quick to start the second half, taking the kickoff and marching 69 yards on six plays, scoring on a three-yard run by Garnett to cap a drive which took just 2:18.

Douglass kicked his third field goal of the game, from 32 yards, early in the fourth quarter, making it 24-16.Then, the Jackrabbit defense came up with two straight interceptions, but the offense couldn’t take advantage against a stifling Mustang defense.

SAN MARCOS,Texas — Texas State scored touchdowns on its first four possessions of the game and never looked back in sending South Dakota State to its third straight defeat, 42-12.

The Bobcats drove the length of the field after the opening kickoff, capping an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a 4-yard TD run by K.R. Carpenter.

SDSU came back with an 18-yard Parker Douglass field goal to cut the deficit to 7-3.

Texas State built the lead to 14-3 on the first of three touchdown runs by Nick Session. His first TD came from a yard out to end a five-play, 80-yard drive.

Douglass again answered with a 39-yard field goal to make the score 14-6, but Texas State scored two more touchdowns to lead 28-6. Session’s second score was set up by an interception.

SDSU’s lone touchdown came with 1:14 remaining in the first half as Cory Koenig scored on a 2-yard run.The two-point conversion attempt failed.

The Bobcats rolled up 364 yards rushing, led by quarterback Barrick Nealy’s 121 yards on nine carries. Nealy, who scored on a 36-yard run in the third quarter, also connected on 10-of-15 passing attempts for 164 yards. He was picked off once, by SDSU cornerback Hank McCall.

SDSU’s ground attack was led by Koenig, who gained 121 yards on 26 carries.

Starting quarterback Andy Kardoes was 9-of-18 passing for 122 yards and was intercepted three times. Josh Davis led Jackrabbit receivers with 70 yards on three catches. Dusty Snyders caught three balls for eight yards.

Punter Neal Bainbridge was a bright spot for the Jackrabbits as he averaged 63.7 yards per punt, including a career-best 77-yarder.

Billy Ray Kirch led the Jackrabbit defense with 12 tackles.

SIOUX FALLS — South Dakota State cornerback Hank McCall broke up a twopoint conversion attempt with 2:05 to play as the Jackrabbits held on to defeat the UC, Davis 16-14 in Great West Football Conference action.

SDSU had opened a 16-0 lead, on a 2-yard touchdown run by Andy Kardoes, and field goals of 38, 54 and 32 yards by Parker Douglass, before the Aggies put on a fourth-quarter rally, scoring on a pair of 13play drives. After the first touchdown, an 18-yard pass from Jon Grant to Demario Warren, Grant hooked up with Blaise Smith for a two-point conversion.

The second TD, a two-yard pass from Grant to Matt Gravette, cut the margin to two, but McCall’s play prevented UC Davis from tying the score.

Even then, things were far from over. SDSU went three downs and out, but UCD was called for roughing the kicker on the Jackrabbit punt attempt, giving the Jacks a first down with less than a minute to play. Andy Kardoes kneeled down on successive snaps to kill the clock.

Douglass broke the SDSU record for longest field goal with his 54 yarder, two yards longer than the kick which tied the school record against Cal Poly two weeks earlier. He actually made a 55-yarder earlier in the game, but had it nullified by a holding penalty, after which he just missed on a 65-yard attempt with the wind at his back.

McCall, who finished the game with a team-high 11 tackles, set up SDSU’s first score with a pass interception returned 13 yards to the SDSU 46. On first down, sophomore running back Cory Koenig picked up 52 yards, setting up the TD run by Kardoes. Koenig had his third straight 100-yard game rushing, with 20 carries for 141 yards.

South Dakota State set single-game school records for yards rushing and total offense as the Jacks defeated Missouri-Rolla 64-28, also setting a record for the most points scored in a Hobo Day game.

The Jacks had three backs rush for over 100 yards and gained 567 yards on the ground en route to 689 yards total offense.Those totals broke the SDSU singlegame record of 532 yards rushing against Augustana in 1952 and 682 yards total offense set against Wayne State (Neb.) in 1999.

SDSU’s trio of Cory Koenig,Trevor Hohn and Anthony Watson accounted for 462 yards and five touchdowns for the Jacks, who topped the previous Hobo Day record of 61 points in a shutout victory over South Dakota in 1963.

Koenig rushed 15 times for 184 yards, including touchdowns of runs of 14 and 15 yards. Hohn gained 161 yards on just six carries (26.8 ypc) with one touchdown, a 64-yard run in the fourth quarter. And Watson picked up 117 yards on 11 carries including touchdowns of 5 and 3 yards.

Three other players added touchdowns, while Parker Douglass kicked field goals of 29, 27 and 27 yards.

UMR quarterback Evan Gray tied the Miners’ single-game record by passing for four touchdowns as he finished 27-of-46 for 335 yards.

The 92nd Hobo Day game drew 14,503 fans despite 45-degree temperatures and a morning snow which blanketed the field.

As the two teams combined for 97 points and 1,138 yards total offense, 19thranked Georgia Southern outscored South Dakota State 55-42.

With Georgia Southern leading 35-21 after three periods, the teams combined for 41 points in the fourth quarter of a game pitting GSU’s potent running game against an SDSU offense directed by a new quarterback.

GSU rushed for 484 yards, the most ever by an SDSU opponent. Quarterback Jayson Foster gained 178 yards on 27 carries, scoring on runs of 21, 2 and 4, while fullback Jermaine Austin had 146 yards on 29 carries with four TDs: 33, 10, 5, and 5. Foster also passed for 131 yards on just four completions, giving him 309 yards total offense.

But SDSU had offensive stars of its own.

Redshirt freshman Ryan Berry, in his first collegiate start, completed 17-of-27 passes for 289 yards and tied the Jackrabbit single-game record with five touchdown passes, a mark previously set by Todd McDonald versus Nebraska-Omaha in 1993.

Berry played the entire game in place of the injured Andy Kardoes.

Three of the TD passes went to Josh Davis, who finished with nine catches for 177 yards including TDs of 27, 6 and 13 yards. On the ground, Anthony Watson, a nonstarter since the Valparaiso game, posted a career-high 204 yards rushing on just 16 carries (12.8 ypc), including a 52-yard TD run in the third period, which tied the game at 21.

GAME 10: North Dakota State 41, SDSU 17

Nov. 5, 2005 • Coughlin-Alumni Stadium (Att. 4,022)

Nov. 12, 2005 • Fargodome (Att. 15,777)

It was a game in which the coin toss helped determine the momentum.

After Southern Utah won the toss and deferred to the second half, South Dakota State University redshirt freshman JaRon Harris bounced off a host of would-be tacklers and went 86 yards for the first of SDSU’s seven touchdowns in a 55-7 Jackrabbit victory.

By the time SUU got the ball to start the second half, it was 38-0, and SDSU was protecting a shutout until the Thunderbirds scored with 2:06 to play in the game.

The touchdown by Harris was the first of four firstperiod scores for the Jacks, who benefitted from a defense which held SUU to minus-16 yards total offense in the first quarter. Josh Davis, who caught six passes for 115 yards and three TDs, scored twice in the first quarter on passes of 35 and 17 yards from Andy Kardoes, and Anthony Watson rushed for a 3-yard TD as SDSU led 28-0 after one quarter.

In the second quarter, Parker Douglass kicked a 29-yard field goal and the Kardoes to Davis combo clicked for a 5-yard TD. SDSU’s first score of the second half was a 64-yard pass interception return by sophomore Andrew Hoogeveen.That was one of four SDSU picks as the Jacks set a school record for most interception return yards in a game with 156. In addition to Hoogeveen’s interception return, John Perry had one for 50 yards, Scott Breyfogle returned one 27 yards and Tyler Koch had one for 15.

The Jacks tied another school record, albeit a dubious one, as they were flagged for 15 penalties. It’s the fourth time that has happened.

Kardoes returned to his starting role at quarterback and completed 9-for-18 passes for 127 yards while rushing four times for 30 yards. Watson also returned to the starting lineup and rushed for 118 yards on 17 carries. As a team, the Jacks had 238 yards on the ground.

FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota State’s ball-control running game coupled with a stingy defense propelled the Bison to a 41-17 victory over South Dakota State in Great West Football Conference action at the Fargodome.

The Bison rushed for 307 yards, led by Kyle Steffes, who rushed 31 times for 141 yards. He scored three touchdowns, all on short runs in the first half.

Meanwhile, the Jacks gained just 268 yards, getting only 98 net yards rushing.

The Jacks actually got off to a good start, converting a Bison turnover into the game’s first score, a 16-yard run by Cory Koenig.

After NDSU tied the game, the Jacks scored again, on a 41-yard pass from Kardoes to Chris Molitor.That left SDSU on top 14-7 after the first quarter.

Steffes gave the Bison a 21-14 halftime lead as he scored on runs of one and three yards in the second quarter.

NDSU ran its scoring streak to 24 consecutive points with a touchdown and field goal in the third period before Parker Douglass kicked a 23-yard field goal for the Jacks early in the fourth quarter.

The Jacks were their own worst enemy in the first half, throwing three pass interceptions while also having a punt blocked and missing a field goal.

South Dakota State intercepted four passes, including one returned for a touchdown by Hank McCall, as the Jackrabbits closed their 2005 football season with a 30-14 victory over Northern Colorado at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.

UNC’s Joe Kenney intercepted a pass on SDSU’s first offensive play of the game to set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from Nick Hager to Paul Sweitzer.

The Jacks countered with 17 unanswered points, beginning with a 1-yard touchdown run by Cory Koenig. Parker Douglass kicked a 37-yard field goal to break the SDSU single-season mark, and Anthony Watson’s 5-yard TD run with 5:38 to go in the half put SDSU up 17-7.

With the Jacks appearing to take command, UNC scored its second touchdown late in the half and later blocked an SDSU punt to threaten with another score. But a fourth-down field goal attempt was blocked by D.J. Fischer, leaving the Jacks on top 17-14.

After Douglass kicked a 30-yard field goal for the only scoring of the third quarter, the fourth quarter belonged to the Jacks. Douglass kicked another field goal, this one from 28 yards out. Just 17 seconds later, McCall returned a pass interception 37 yards for a touchdown and the Jacks were up 30-14.

Koenig had his fifth 100-yard game of the season rushing, with 25 carries for 126 yards.That left him just 13 yards shy of 1,000 yards for the season.

For the game, SDSU out-gained UNC 350-232 in total offense, with the Jacks rushing for 204 yards.

Cornerback Jeff Hegge had nine tackles to lead the Jacks. Kirch had eight tackles, including a sack, to go with his interception. Seniors D.J. Fischer and Gabe Koenigsfeld also had sacks. Fischer, sidelined most of the year with an injury, batted down two passes, blocked a kick and had six tackles, 2 1/2 of which were for losses.

Great West Football Conference On February 25, 2004, seven collegiate institutions which had competed in 268 games against each other, ranging geographically from the Dakotas to Utah to California, announced the formation of the Great West Football Conference.

The NCAA Division I-AA football-only alliance began competition for a conference title in 2004, with Cal Poly claiming the first league championship.The Mustangs repeated as conference champions in 2005, sharing the league title with UC Davis, and became the first GWFC team to qualify for the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

Charter members of the Great West Football Conference included: • California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Calif.; • University of California Davis, Davis, Calif.; • North Dakota State University, Fargo, N.D.; • University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, Colo.; • Saint Mary’s College, Moraga, Calif.; • South Dakota State University, Brookings, S.D.; • Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah.

Before any competition was held, Saint Mary’s College announced it was dropping football, leaving six members in the league.The number of league members dropped to its current five after the 2005 season, when Northern Colorado was accepted for admission into the Big Sky Conference.

The five member schools are spread over four western states and three time zones, which will give each school added exposure — both in terms of media and recruiting — in new destinations.The conference affiliation is also expected to generate much interest within the schools’ substantial alumni base, which numbers more than 350,000 combined.

“Since we had already been competing against each other on a frequent basis, it made great sense to give these dedicated studentathletes something to play for, and that’s a true conference championship,” said SDSU Director of Athletics Fred Oien. “The formalization of this arrangement will foster rivalries among these fine institutions and provide yet another sense of pride on campus for students, faculty, administrators and alumni.”

Conference competition began with South Dakota State visiting UC Davis, and Northern Colorado hosting North Dakota State on Sept. 4, 2004.

SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier said: “I am excited about the caliber of competition that the 54

In its first two seasons of competition, the GWFC made an impact on I-AA football.The I-AA.org web site ranked the GWFC in its top five leagues each of its first two seasons, including a second-place showing in 2004.

Great West Conference will present for all the schools. We are moving to Division I-AA for a number of reasons, and one of those reasons is to compete at the highest level.The Great West Conference is that type of league. I appreciate all the hard work that has been done to formulate the conference this fast.”

Great West members Cal Poly and Southern Utah remain at-large candidates for NCAA I-AA post-season playoff consideration. UC Davis will become eligible for at-large consideration in 2007, while South Dakota State and North Dakota State become candidates in 2008.The conference has submitted its application for formal recognition to the NCAA. The Great West Football Conference recognizes student-athletes on both a weekly and full-season basis. Individual awards include Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week; All-Conference teams; an Academic All-Conference team; and Player, Newcomer and Coach of the Year awards.

Beginning in the 2006 season, the MidContinent Conference will take a more active role in the oversight of the Great West Football Conference. Mid-Continent Commissioner Tom Douple played an instrumental role in the formation of the GWFC when he was athletic director at Southern Utah. Associate commissioner Ed Grom will handle many of the administrative duties for the GWFC, including serving as media relations director.

Academics and Athletics South Dakota State University continues to maintain a standard of excellence in the classroom as Jackrabbit student-athletes go through the transition to NCAA Division I athletics.

In the most recent census conducted by the NCAA, SDSU registered a 71 percent graduation rate, which ranked 17 percent higher than the overall student body. Note: Only those receiving athletics aid are factored into the student-athlete graduation rate.

As of the end of the 2005-06 school year, 225 of SDSU’s 412 student-athletes — 55 percent — maintained a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher. Of those 225 studentathletes, 86 had GPAs between 3.50 and 3.99 and 15 carried perfect 4.00 GPAs. Student-athletes with GPAs 3.00 and higher were honored at a spaghetti feed sponsored by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee in April.

The overall average cumulative GPA of SDSU student-athletes through the fall semester was 3.06, with females posting an average GPA of 3.32 and males at 2.89.

Jackrabbit student-athletes are currently enrolled in more than 80 different majors.

Of SDSU’s 19 varsity teams — indoor and outdoor track and field are counted as one team for each men and women — all 10 women’s teams and three men’s teams compiled team GPAs or 3.0 or higher during the fall semester.

Women’s cross country led the way with a 3.69 cumulative team GPA, followed by the women’s basketball squad at 3.68.The Jackrabbits led all divisions of women’s college basketball in team GPA, while the women’s cross country team ranked third among all Division I schools in team GPA, trailing only Mississippi State and Indiana.

Both Jackrabbit swimming and diving teams were recognized after the first semester by the College Swim Coaches Association of America for their work in the classroom. SDSU’s women’s squad received All-Academic team recognition with a 3.03 team GPA, while the men’s squad posted a 2.88 team GPA. 2006 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

The SDSU women’s golf team also placed 10th among Division I squads for team GPA. The Jackrabbit football team registered a 2.90 team grade-point average during the 2005-06 school year. SDSU led the Great West Football Conference with 13 selections to the conference all-academic team, and placed three players on the University Division Academic All-District Team: Parker Douglass Mitch Klein and Cory Koenig. Klein, who was named to the Academic All-America Second Team, was one of three Jackrabbit Academic All-Americans in 2005-06, while a total of 10 student-athletes were Academic All-District honorees.

Coughlin-Alumni Stadium Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, the home of the Jackrabbits, is in its 45th season.

In the quest to maintain it as one of the top outdoor football facilities in the Upper Midwest, Coughlin-Alumni Stadium has undergone major changes during recent years.

A new scoreboard was installed in the south end zone prior to the 2005 season.The scoreboard, which was manufactured by Brookingsbased Daktronics, measures approximately 121 feet wide by 56 feet high and features a large full-color ProStar® video replay screen in the center with additional statistical and advertising panels.

Each game-day production features live game action, instant replays, real-time statistics, fullmotion graphics, interactive contests and games, commercial spots and special features from around the entire campus.

The football scoreboard was part of a $3 million upgrade to scoreboard display systems and signage at SDSU athletic facilities.

Also in recent years at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, lights were added, parking lots were paved, new restrooms were constructed, a new ticket booth added, and an organized tailgating area known as “The Backyard” was cleared directly north of the stadium.

With the addition of the lights during the summer of 2000, CAS became the home of the Brookings High School Bobcats. Coached by former Jackrabbit quarterback Gary Maffett, the Bobcats won the South Dakota Class 11AA championship in 2000.

SDSU played its first game under the lights at CAS on Sept. 1, 2001, defeating Ferris State (Mich.), 34-24.The Jackrabbits have gone on to compile a 12-2 record in night games at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.

VERSUS OPPONENTS AT COUGHLIN-ALUMNI STADIUM

The natural-grass stadium opened Sept. 22, 1962, when the Jacks lost a 9-7 decision to Arkansas State.

Through the first 44 years of operation, there have been 235 games against 51 different opponents at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, with SDSU holding a 141-93 record on its home field.There has never been a tie game at CAS. Since moving to Division I-AA and affiliation in the Great West Football Conference in 2004, the Jackrabbits have posted a 3-1 mark against GWFC opponents at CAS. The largest crowd ever to see a football game of any kind in South Dakota came through the turnstiles on Hobo Day, Oct. 19, 1985, when 16,193 fans saw SDSU defeat the University of South Dakota 24-12. USD was undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the nation at the time.

The stadium project was started after Charles Coughlin, a 1909 SDSU graduate and former student-athlete, donated $50,000 towards the building of a new stadium to replace State Field.The remaining $250,000 of the original $300,000 cost was raised from alumni, students and friends of SDSU. Within two years after the completion of the stadium, a lockerroom facility was constructed and a press box added.

Staff offices and meeting rooms have been added on the east side of the grandstands, next to the practice fields.

After a tryout with the Dallas Cowboys, he signed with the expansion Ottawa Renegades of the Canadian Football League, where he started as a rookie. Ranek currently plays for the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger Cats.

Connot earned first-team all-North Central Conference and secondteam All-America honors from Football Gazette during his senior season in 2003. He also was an academic All-American and received an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.

A native of Spencer, Neb., Connot played in 34 games at SDSU, starting all 11 as a senior, when he led the team in tackles with 94. He finished his collegiate career with 234 tackles (142 solos), eight interceptions, 19 passes defended, seven forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries.

After signing with Kansas City as a free agent,he played in two games in 2004, then was assigned by the Chiefs to NFL Europe, where he earned all-league honors for the champion Amsterdam Admirals during the summer of 2005.

• MATT BERRY, center, 1999 With an All-America running back putting up record-setting numbers, there had to be someone getting the job done up front.That’s where center Matt Berry fit in.

Berry started three straight seasons, 199799, earning honorable mention all-North Central Conference as a junior. As a senior, in 1999, the Spearfish native finished his career by being named first-team all-conference and earning recognition on the Daktronics, Football Gazette, and Associated Press Little AllAmerica teams.

With Berry leading the way, the Jackrabbits averaged 229.4 yards rushing per game during the 1999 season.

• CHRIS COAUETTE, linebacker, 2004 Coauette became the first Jackrabbit to earn All-America recognition at the NCAA Division I-AA level, when he received second-team honors from Football Gazette during SDSU’s inaugural season in I-AA. A first-team all-Great West Football Conference selection, Coauette led the Jacks in tackles, recording 60 solos and 55 assists for 115 total.Ten of his tackles were for losses including 3.5 sacks. He also led the team with five pass interceptions, had one fumble recovery and one blocked kick.

In addition, the Crookston, Minn., native earned academic all-GWFC and was league defensive player of the week following SDSU’s season-ending victory at Northern Colorado.

A four-year letterman, Coauette played in 38 games during his career and had 313 career tackles (185 solo), including 25.5 for loss, with 10 career interceptions.

• PARKER DOUGLASS, kicker, 2005 Douglass rewrote the Jackrabbit record book for place-kicking during his sophomore season in 2005, en route to earning third-team AllAmerica honors from The Sports Network and Football Gazette.

A native of Columbus, Neb., Douglass set an SDSU single-season record for a kicker with 99 points. His 19 field goals made in 26 attempts also set Jackrabbit single-season marks, and his average of 1.9 field goals per game would have led Division I-AA if the Jackrabbits had been eligible for postseason consideration.

Honored as the Great West Football Conference Special Teams Player of the Year, Douglass extended his school-record streak of 52 consecutive PATs come to an end during the 2005 season. However, he did establish other Jackrabbit records with a 54-yard field goal and nine PATs in one game, against Valparaiso (Ind.).

Jacks in the Pros Heading into the start of the 2006 football season, five former South Dakota State standouts were on the rosters of professional football teams, continuing the Jackrabbits’ long tradition of developing players into pro prospects.

Of the five, four were on NFL rosters: Scott Connot, Steve Heiden, Adam Timmerman and Adam Vinatieri. Josh Ranek is currently a member of the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the Canadian Football League.

Connot spent most of his first two seasons in the league on the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad as a safety. A native of Spencer, Neb., he appeared in two games during the 2004 season after being signed as a free agent.

Heiden enters his eighth season in the NFL after recorded a careerhigh 42 catches for 401 yards for the Cleveland Browns during the 2005 season. Originially drafted by San Diego in the third round of the 1999 draft, Heiden, a native of Rushford, Minn., played three seasons with the Chargers before being traded to Cleveland just prior to the start of the 2002 season. A tight end, Heiden’s career totals include more than 100 catches and 1,000 yards receiving.

After being cut by the Dallas Cowboys prior to the start of the 2002 season, Ranek has made a name for himself in the CFL. As an original member of the expansion Ottawa Renegades, he posted three consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons from 2003-05 before signing with Hamilton before the 2006 season.The Tyndall native was a unanimous selection to the CFL East Division All-Star Team in 2003.

Timmerman enters his 12th season overall in the NFL and eighth with the St. Louis Rams in 2006. A two-time Pro Bowl selection (1999, 2001) as an offensive lineman, the Cherokee, Iowa, native has played in 157 consecutive regular season games and 177 consecutive games counting the playoffs. He began his streak as a member of the Green Bay Packers, who drafted Timmerman in the seventh round of the 1994 draft.

Vinatieri has earned a reputation as one the most consistent and clutch kickers in the NFL. After compiling 10 consecutive 100-point regular seasons to start his career,Vinatieri also has excelled in the postseason. He holds the distinction of being the only kicker in NFL history to make a field goal in three different Super Bowls, including game-winning kicks in Super Bowl XXXVI against St. Louis and Super Bowl XXXVIII versus Carolina.Vinatieri began his professional career with the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe before signing with the New England Patriots in 1996. After two Pro Bowl selections, he New England following the 2005 season as the team’s career scoring leader, signing as a free agent with the Indianapolis Colts.

JACKS IN THE SUPER BOWL

For South Dakota State University fans, the 2002 Super Bowl game was the second Adam Bowl.

In the 1997 Super Bowl, two former Jackrabbits faced each other in the game between the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots.

Adam Timmerman, a seventh round draft pick in 1995, was the starting right guard for the Packers. Adam Vinatieri, signed as a free-agent after playing for Amsterdam in the World League, was the placekicker for the Patriots.

In 2002, they met again, this time Timmerman with the St. Louis Rams and Vinatieri with the New England Patriots.Vinatieri not only kicked the winning field goal in that game, but did it again in the 2004 Super Bowl.

Timmerman played in two Super Bowls for the Packers, then signed with St. Louis as a free agent and started for the 2000 Super Bowl champs, also going on to play in the Pro Bowl.

Vinatieri has, in effect, provided the winning BRAD SEELY points in three Super Bowls since his field goal New England Patriots in the 2005 game was the margin of victory. In Special Teams Coach addition, former Jackrabbit Brad Seely (197577) is the special teams coach for the Patriots.

Timmerman and Vinatieri are the fourth and fifth former SDSU players to appear in a Super Bowl game. Jim Langer was the starting center for the Miami Dolphins in three Super Bowls.

The Jacks in the Super Bowl: • Jim Langer, Miami Dolphins, 1972-73-74 (from Royalton, Minn.)

• Bruce Klostermann, Denver Broncos, 1988-90 (from Dyersville, Iowa) • Doug Miller, San Diego Chargers, 1995 (from Sturgis, S.D.) • Adam Timmerman, Green Bay Packers 1997-98, and St. Louis Rams 2000, 2002 (from Cherokee, Iowa) • Adam Vinatieri, New England Patriots, 1997, 2002, 2004, 2005 (from Rapid City, S.D.)

2006 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

Hobo Day The date – November 2, 1912.

The event – first Hobo Day at State College.

Hobo Day is said to have originated with several students eating ice cream and talking at a local drug store in 1912.The topic of conversation was a way to rescue the sagging school spirit, caused to some degree when State lost its first two football games of the season: 34-0 to Carleton, and 73-7 to the University of South Dakota.

Many ideas of a homecoming day were brought up, but none were taken with any enthusiasm until someone mentioned an idea that had been attempted elsewhere. Although the idea wasn’t very successful in other places, it did seem to hold some potential for South Dakota State.

Thus, the biggest one-day event in South Dakota was born.

Prior homecoming activities had featured a traditional “nightshirt parade” with snake dance which led the students through Brookings until they arrived at the train depot in time to meet the night train.

That practice continued until one fall when the college authorities decided it was undignified for female students to participate in this activity.

Thus the idea for any new tradition had to include the female students.

Costumes conceived in 1912 had males dressed as hoboes and girls as maidens.

Even the first Hobo Day would prohibit the use of the razor. Student regulations that year stated that any male student show shaved after the Monday morning preceding the festivities would be initiated into the Bull Moose Club with a barrel and an oak lathe. Girls had to wear their hair in a braid and anyone who failed to do so would be “painted with red ink and have their hair braided.”

Students, dressed in costumes, assembled at the “Old North Chapel” before they marched to the depot to meet the Yankton College football team.

The parade started toward the train depot with a Hobo Band and the entire student body following to meet the Yankton team.

The Industrial Collegian reported: “At the rally, onlookers couldn’t tell whether they were in an 1849 Indian village or a twentieth century division point of the Northwest railroad.”

On the way back to campus, most students stopped at Brookings resi94

dents’ back doors and “bummed” ingredients for mulligan stew.

Weary Willie made his first appearance in 1950 and Dirty ’Lil became an annual attraction in 1976.

The Industrial Collegian of Nov. 5, 1912, reported: “the first Hobo Day was one of the biggest days SDSC has ever seen.” And they hadn’t seen anything yet.

For the record, the initial idea worked — the Jacks won the football game 6-3.

Beef Bowl

South Dakota State University is home to the original Beef Bowl.

The Beef Bowl was started as SDSU’s way of recognizing those individuals and firms involved in the beef industry in South Dakota.

Festivities include a pre-game barbecue with proceeds going toward

scholarships in the Animal and Range Sciences Department, as well as presentation of the SDSU Friends of the Beef Industry Award. Proceeds from a live steer auction at halftime benefits the Jackrabbit Athletic Department.

Outside of Hobo Day, SDSU’s annual homecoming celebration, the Beef Bowl usually ranks second for home game attendance. More than 10,000 people have attended each of the last two Beef Bowls and five times overall.

The Beef Bowl will celebrate its 40th anniversary Oct. 7, when SDSU hosts Central Arkansas.

Dakota Marker

Red quartzite monuments that define the border between South Dakota and North Dakota now signify a football rivalry between the two states.

The Dakota Marker, a replica of the 7-foot by 10-inch square stone monu-

ments planted in the early 1890s, is the name of a traveling trophy that SDSU and North Dakota State began competing for during the 2004 season.

The original idea for the trophy came from the Blue Key Honor Society at NDSU.The student associations at both schools share dual ownership of the trophy.

Creation of the trophy coincided with SDSU’s and NDSU’s entry into NCAA Division I-AA football as members of the Great West Football Conference. And it signals a revised rivalry between two schools that have a football history covering 91 meetings dating back to 1903.

“As the Dakotas embark on the Division I venture together, it’s only fitting that the two institutions inaugurate a traveling trophy that recognizes and honors that history,” said Amanda Mattingly, then-president of the SDSU Students Association.“The students at SDSU look forward to a long, competi-

tive, and friendly rivalry that will capture the essence of the future and the past.”

The Dakota Marker stands about three feet tall with the letters “SD” on one side and “ND”on the other side, just like its 720 namesakes that dot the 366-mile border.

“The students just nailed this one when they did their research,” noted SDSU athletic director Fred Oien.“They were able to take a marker that divides our borders, learn its heritage, and make this trophy.

“Our two institutions have been formed with the same goals and mission to serve the citizens of our states,” he added.“For us to be the two institutions fighting for a state rivalry I think is appropriate.”

The trophy also adds another page to the playbook, according to SDSU head football coach John Stiegelmeier.

“This (trophy) just adds that much more to your game preparation, your

2006 SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

season, what you focus us,” he said.“It’s an unbelievably neat deal. I think we are really blessed to be in the Great West Conference, and to have a traveling trophy, adds another dimension to it.”

SDSU President Peggy Gordon Miller dubbed the students as pioneers in creating the trophy, much the same way their ancestors carved out their lives on the prairie.

“You’ve had the history of it and you know what great success comes from courage, determination and quality,” she said.“Now, we are moving onto the playing field and you get to be part of history.”

They were recruited as players for a Division II football program, but graduated as members of a Division I-AA team.

In two seasons, 25 Jackrabbit football players have finished their “The aspect that I have been most proud of during the Division I transition, has been the commitment of our players,” head coach John Stiegelmeier said. “The leadership of the last two senior classes has been instrumental in this commitment.”

The torch now has been passed to 12 seniors for the 2006 season. “ This year’s senior class is made of the same fabric,” Stiegelmeier said. “ Their leadership has led to a record number of players being in Brookings for the summer to work out and ‘grow together’. This is their football team. I’m very excited with their leadership.”

Division I Reclassification With two years of a four-year reclassification process completed, South Dakota State University has experienced several successes specifically in the form of conference affiliation.

SDSU has allied itself with several new associations, including the Western Wrestling Conference, the United Soccer Conference and assisted in the creation of a scheduling alliance with fellow basketball independents, the latter of which provides needed home contests against Division I schools during what is normally the conference time of year — the months of January and February.

SDSU also has become an associate member of the Mid-Continent Conference for men’s and women’s swimming and diving.

These affiliations along with the previously established Great West Football Conference provide the majority of Jackrabbit student-athletes with the opportunity to compete for conference awards and championships.

While SDSU will continue to be ineligible for NCAA postseason competition until 2008– 09 in the majority of its sports, the Jackrabbit women’s volleyball and men’s wrestling teams will be eligible for post season competition starting with the 2006–07 academic year as previously approved by the NCAA. 96

posture for what is best for each of them.

Issues that continue to work in South Dakota State University’s favor are: the strength of the academic programs that operate throughout the institution, the success encountered during the transition and the support of this process that exists statewide for the preeminent institution of the state of South Dakota.

ABOUT SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY

About South Dakota State University With a record enrollment of 11,021 students in the fall of 2005, South Dakota State University is the state’s largest institution of higher education.

EARLY HISTORY Located in Brookings, SDSU was authorized in 1881 by the Territorial Legislative Assembly and serves as the state’s land-grant instution.

Territorial Council member John O’Brien Scobey, failing to obtain the penitentiary for Brookings, managed to secure Dakota Agricultural College for his city.

Although allocations fell short of the actual cost, the school was able to open in the fall of 1884 because the president, George Lilley, was willing to advance $500 — onethird of his salary — to finish three rooms in the new Central Building.“Old Central” was soon joined by South (1885) and North (1887), forming the nucleus of campus for a decade and a half.

During the first year of operation, only preparatory classes were held. College classes started in 1885 with five teachers, 17 freshman and 61 preparatory students. Growth was slow and erratic for many years, but by the turn of the 20th century there were 242 students. By 1990, SDSU had an enrollment of more than 9,000 students.

Nearly 50,000 degrees have been granted since the college was chartered in 1881.

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY features a 16-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio. Over the past five years, the average placement rate at SDSU has been 95 percent, with placement in selected majors like pharmacy and engineering approaching 100 percent.

COLLEGES ESTABLISHED The structure of the college became more complex as enrollments increased.The first

TOMPKINS ALUMNI CENTER features the Aggie School Clock Tower. The building, located on the west side of campus, hosts many university and alumni functions throughout the year.

nine chairs of instruction established in 1884 included agriculture, science, mathematics, English, modern languages, military tactics, veterinary science, practical business, political and domestic economy, and music.

By 1907, the year the name of the institution was changed to South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, there were 22 departments on campus.

Reorganization into the five divisions which formed the basis for the designation of colleges was completed under President Charles W. Pugsley in 1923.

In 1964, when “State College” was renamed South Dakota State University, there were six colleges; today degrees are offered through these eight colleges: • Agricultural and Biological Sciences • Arts and Science • Education and Counseling • Engineering • Family and Consumer Sciences (continued on next page)

About South Dakota State University • General Registration • Nursing • Pharmacy • Graduate School SDSU also offers degree programs through the Sioux Falls Center for Public Higher Education (USDSU). Evening, RDTN, Internet and off-campus courses are coordinated through the Office of Academic Affairs and Outreach.

SDSU BY THE NUMBERS In its 125-year history, South Dakota State has grown from a campus of 80 acres in 1881 to a 271-acre campus with facilities worth more than $220 million.

The university owns or leases another 15,000 acres for research throughout the state.

A University Student Union expansion and renovation project was completed in the summer of 2005, as was Caldwell Hall, a suitestyle residence hall.

Other recent building projects have included: • Anson and Ada May Yeager Hall (formerly the Printing and Journalism Building), which underwent a $2.1 million expansion and renovation project; • Crothers Engineering Hall — $7 million expansion; • Solberg Hall — multi-million dollar renovation; • Performing Arts Center — $9 million project completed in fall of 2002.

MEMORIAL PARK, located between DuPuy Military Hall and Briggs Library in the center of campus, honors South Dakota State students who have served in the armed forces, including Congressional Medal of Honor recipients Capt. Willibald Bianchi and Col. Leo Thorsness. The park was dedicated in the fall of 2000.

In addition, the Enterprise Institute building, which also houses the SDSU Foundation, was completed in the fall of 2004.The Enterprise Institute is designed to facilitate SDSU and industry resources to encourage and assist the establishment of entrepreneurial growth enterprises in the region.

More than 200 majors, minors and options (see listing on pages 79-80) are available at SDSU with more than 2,500 different course offerings.

Master’s degrees are offered in more than 30 areas and doctorates are available in eight fields.

COOLIDGE-SYLVAN THEATRE, located on the southwest corner of campus is an outdoor amphitheater that has been the site of concerts, graduationas and inaugurations of university presidents since its dedication by President Calvin Coolidge in September 1927.

MUSEUMS AND ATTRACTIONS The educational opportunities don’t end in the classroom or laboratory as South Dakota State University is home to several facilities, including museums and gardens, which highlight South Dakota history and heritage.

The South Dakota Art Museum, which recently completed an expansion, was first envisioned by the South Dakota Federation of Women’s Clubs in 1949, and dedicated in 1970.The museum's collections include early Sioux Indian tribal art, the famed Harvey Dunn paintings of pioneer life and the exclusive Vera Way Marghab linens.

The State Agricultural Heritage Museum transformed the former Stock Judging Pavilion into a home for exhibits that record and preserve the agrarian heritage of South Dakota.

The 70-acre McCrory Gardens and South Dakota Arboretum, located south and east of campus, provide a beautiful setting for area residents and tourists to enjoy a stroll through the radiant colors and fragrances of one of the top 10 small ornamental gardens in the nation. It is also recognized as an All-American Display Garden, one of only 13 in the nation.

In 1993 McCrory Gardens was designated an All-American Judging Garden to conduct research on annual flowers.

Since 1985, private contributions have made many new gardens possible including the Rose, Rock, Centennial Prairie, Iris,True Lily, Mum, Native Prairie Collection, Oak Tree Memorial Garden, All-Red Specialty Garden, Peony Garden, Shrub Rose Collection, and Children’s Maze.

In August 1994, dedication ceremonies were held for the Mickelson Grove Memorial in honor of former governor and Brookings resident George Mickelson.

In 1982, the area north of the formal gar-

den was dedicated to the planting and testing of ornamental trees and shrubs.The 45-acre site was designated the South Dakota State Arboretum in 1988.

The arboretum’s purpose is to test woody plants needed to protect agricultural fields and livestock from the region’s harsh environment, to provide hardy trees to shade our towns and cities, and to test ornamental shrubs for both durability and beauty.

The arboretum and gardens are managed by the SDSU Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape and Parks Department. More gardens and tree and shrub collections are being developed.

Perhaps South Dakota State’s most recognizable landmark is the 165-foot Coughlin Campanile, the state’s largest chimes tower. A climb of 179 steps leads to a

EVOLUTION OF A NICKNAME

There are two theories as to how and why the Jackrabbit nickname evolved.The most common belief is that the name “Jackrabbits” came from a story and cartoon sketch that appeared in a Minneapolis newspaper following a 1905 football game between the University of Minnesota and South Dakota State College, as the university was then known. A reporter for the newspaper, knowing of the preponderance of jackrabbits in the Brookings area, was believed to have written that the SDSC team was as quick as jackrabbits. Many people believe that the school adopted the Jackrabbits as its official nickname from that beginning.

The other theory about the origin of the nickname is given in The Jackrabbit, SDSU’s yearbook.

There is a poem in the 1907 yearbook that puts forth the idea that the yearbook is called The Jackrabbit because a group of juniors wished to immortalize themselves by changing the name of the yearbook. Athletic teams followed suit, adopting the nickname.

Prior to the adoption of the Jackrabbit nickname, school athletic teams were known as the Barn Yard Cadets as SDSU was known as South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907.

panoramic view of the city.

The statuesque structure on the west end of campus was a $65,000 gift from 1909 engineering graduate Charles Coughlin, who later went on to become head of the Briggs & Stratton Corporation.

Coughlin laid the campanile’s cornerstone on June 10, 1929. Since then, its chimes have called students to classes with the famous Westminster peals.

An alumni-sponsored project to restore the campanile was completed in the summer of 2001.

Adjacent to the campanile, Coolidge-Sylvan Theatre has provided a restful, green haven for students since its dedication by President Calvin Coolidge in September 1927. (continued on next page)

About South Dakota State University Over the years the outdoor amphiteater has been the site of concerts, graduations and inaugurations for university presidents.

Woodbine Cottage, the home of the university president, is a charming example of Queen Anne architecture. Built in 1887 by South Dakota Agricultural College’s second president, Dr. Lewis McLouth, the home is crowned by multiple roof lines.

The house also has served as a women’s dormitory, music hall and infirmary.

STATE’S LARGEST LIBRARY The Hilton M. Briggs Library, the state’s largest, was opened in 1977 and joined South Dakota’s statewide automated library network in 1988.Through the library, users have access to holdings from all 10 of the state’s libraries, including official documents and more than 1 million other holdings at Briggs.

THE BROOKINGS COMMUNITY Today, Brookings is a growing community of about 18,500 people. Located 20 miles west of the Minnesota border and 50 miles north of Sioux Falls in east-central South Dakota, Brookings is situated at the intersection of U.S. Highway 14 and Interstate 29.

The community also is home to several recognizable companies including Rainbow Play Systems, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M), Larson Manufacturing, and Daktronics, a leading manufacturer of scoreboards and display systems.

THE COUGHLIN CAMPANILE is SDSU’s most recognizable landmark.
