Welcome football fans! As president of South Dakota State University, it is my pleasure and privilege to join you at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium and the 97th Hobo Day football game. My wife, Marcia, and I also extend a special welcome back to campus to our fellow alumni. We’re so pleased that you have marked this date on your calendars to gather with thousands of other Jackrabbit fans — some from Brookings and some from much farther away. Each year, homecoming celebrations bring alumni back to campuses from coast to coast. These events give us a chance to see what’s new, who’s old and those places and people we remember fondly. Homecoming is a time to express pride in the university and its accomplishments, and we have many to celebrate. Enrollment was announced in late September at 12,816 students — another new record. This growth, about 3.5 percent, is consistent with projections and includes a record 2,247 new freshmen and a record 1,475 graduate students. Since Hobo Day 2009, students and faculty have begun using several new facilities on campus, including: • Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center outside the north end zone; • Avera Health and Science Center, home for academic programs in Pharmacy and Chemistry and Biochemistry; • Jackrabbit Village residence hall complex, home to 400 students living on campus; • Seed Technology Laboratory on the Innovation Campus; and • Renovated biology and microbiology laboratories in Ag Hall and DairyMicrobiology, a project that should finish during this academic year. And we’re not done. Construction should start yet this fall on the second phase of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science building and the McCrory Gardens Education and Visitors Center. These projects have been made possible by generous donors and engaged students who share strong desires for this university to achieve national distinction. Research awards won by faculty surpassed $66 million for Fiscal Year 2010. These grants and contracts fund scientific discovery, strengthen the Ph.D. programs at State, attract outstanding graduate students and spur regional and statewide economic development. Please take an opportunity to walk around the campus and talk to our faculty and students. Speaking for all of us at South Dakota State, we’re glad you’re here! Sincerely, David L. Chicoine, Ph.D. President Class of 1969

TODAY’S GAME

2010 Jackrabbit Football

The South Dakota State University football team will attempt to run its winning streak to three as it hosts Youngstown State in the 97th Hobo Day game. The Jackrabbits enter today’s matchup with a 2-4 overall record and a 2-2 mark in Missouri Valley Football Conference action. After opening the season with four consecutive losses, SDSU posted back-to-back wins over nationally ranked opponents, defeating Western Illinois, 33-29, on Oct. 9 and winning at Southern Illinois, 31-10, on Oct. 16. Youngstown State, meanwhile, has dropped three consecutive conference games, falling to 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Each of the Penguins’ last two games have been decided in the final minute; North Dakota State scored with 34 seconds remaining to pull out a 34-29 victory on Oct. 9 at Stambaugh Stadium, and Western Illinois rallied for a 40-38 win last Saturday with a touchdown with a minute to play. THE SERIES: Today’s matchup marks the 12th meeting in football between SDSU and Youngstown State, a series that dates back to 1942, when the Penguins posted a 14-0 shutout in Brookings. The Jackrabbits took a 6-5 series lead with a 17-3 victory on Oct. 31, 2009, in Youngstown, Ohio. SDSU has won both meetings as Missouri Valley Football Conference rivals, starting with a 40-7 victory at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium in 2008. In last year’s meeting, the Jackrabbits improved to 6-0 in the MVFC and 7-1 overall behind stout defense and two rushing touchdowns from Kyle Minett in the 17-3 victory. The game was tied at 3-all at halftime, but linebacker Derek Domino turned the tide early in the third quarter with an interception that gave SDSU the ball deep in Penguin territory. Minett scored from five yards out and added a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter to seal the SDSU victory. Minett carried the ball 22 times for 87 yards. Ryan Crawford completed 19-of-28 pass attempts for 178 yards, with Colin Cochart leading SDSU receivers with six catches for 51 yards. For Youngstown State, Brandon Summers finished the game 19-of-29 passing for 181 yards after starting the game by completing his first nine attempts. Dominique Barnes caught six balls for 93 yards, and Donald Jones added six receptions for 36 yards. Overall, SDSU held a 309-254 advantage in total offense, including a 131-73 edge in the rushing department. HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE: The South Dakota State University football team has enjoyed a home-field advantage at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium since making the move to the Football Championship Subdivision level. Since joining the FCS ranks at the start of the 2004 season, the Jackrabbits have posted a 26-8 mark at CAS, including an 8-2 record in Missouri Valley Football Conference games.

TYREL KOOL leads the Jackrabbit receiving corps with 35 catches for 410 yards and one touchdown this season. The Yankton native moved to wide receiver in 2010 after starting his career as a running back. BRODIE, McKNIGHT HONORED: South Dakota State players Cole Brodie and Ryan McKnight earned recognition for their performances in the Jackrabbits’ 31-10 victory at Southern Illinois last week. A senior from Sioux Falls, McKnight was honored as the Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week. SDSU’s starting center, McKnight helped pave the way for a Jackrabbit offense that racked up a season-high 194 rushing yards. The offensive line also did not allow a sack for the fourth consecutive week and has given up only three all season. Brodie, a senior cornerback from Dacula, Ga., was recognized by CollegeFootballPerformance.com as the National Defensive Back of the Week. Brodie intercepted two passes against Southern Illinois, returning the first 87 yards for a touchdown that gave SDSU a 7-0 lead in the second quarter. His second interception came on SIU’s final offensive play of the game. In all, Brodie collected seven tackles (1 TFL) and broke up a pass. KOOL CATCHING ON: Sophomore Tyrel Kool has made a seamless transition to wide receiver as he has been a standout performer on offense for the Jackrabbits this sewason. A converted running back, Kool caught a game-high nine passes for 107 yards in a losing effort in the season opener at Delaware, including a leaping 44-yard reception in the fourth quarter. He became the first Jackrabbit receiver this season to total double figures in receptions, hauling in 10 for 113 yards with his first career touchdown Oct. 2 at Northern Iowa. Kool continues to lead the team with 35 receptions and 410 receiving yards, heading into this weekend’s game. The Yankton native ranked third on the team in rushing in 2009 with 96 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per carry. NEXT WEEK: The Jackrabbits continue Missouri Valley Football Conference action next week, traveling to Indiana State for another key league matchup. Kickoff is set for 3:05 p.m. Eastern Time (2:05 p.m.) at Memorial Stadium in Terre Haute, Ind. The Sycamores have been a surprise of the league this season, entering play today with only one league loss. SDSU’s next home game is scheduled for Nov. 6 against Missouri State in the annual Hall of Fame Game. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m.

2010 Jackrabbit Football

HEAD COACH JOHN STIEGELMEIER

ohn Stiegelmeier has built the South Dakota State University football team into a consistent winner and a program on the rise in the ranks of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision.

Overall, Coach Stig has led the Jackrabbits to an 85-64 record (.570 winning percentage). SDSU has posted eight consecutive winning seasons, including the school’s first six campaigns at the FCS (formerly Division IAA) level. The Jackrabbits have had a winning record in 11 of Stiegelmeier’s 13 years as head coach, including six with seven or more wins. The 2009 season proved to be a memorable one as Stiegelmeier led the Jackrabbits to their first FCS playoff appearance and the program’s first postseason appearance in 30 years. The Jackrabbits finished as runner-up in the Missouri Valley Football Conference with a 7-1 record and finished the season 8-4 overall. Nationally ranked for the entire season, including appearing in the top 10 for two weeks, the Jacks finished the 2009 campaign ranked 11th in both the FCS Coaches' and Sports Network media polls. In 2008, the Jackrabbits entered another new era in their Division I pursuits as they joined the nine-team Missouri Valley Football Conference. With the transition from Division II completed, SDSU fell just short of a playoff berth in its first season of eligibility, ending the year with a 7-5 overall record and 6-2 mark in the MVFC. Of SDSU’s five losses, four came against ranked FCS opponents, including conference co-champions Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois. The team’s other loss was at the hands of Football Bowl Subdivision opponent Iowa State in the season opener. The Jackrabbits cracked the FCS national polls for the first time in late October 2006, after posting back-to-back come-from-behind victories over Cal Poly and UC Davis. After climbing as high as No. 19 on the final week of the regular season, the Jackrabbits finished the 2006 season ranked 22nd by the Sports Network. SDSU began the 2007 season in a preseason national poll for the first time, checking in at No. 20 in the Sports Network poll. The Jackrabbits dropped out of the rankings after a season-opening loss and didn’t return to the top 25 until the final poll of the season with a 19th-place showing. The Jackrabbits continued their ascension at the FCS level during the 2008 season, reaching the 12th spot in the Sports Network poll after opening league play with home victories over No. 14 Youngstown State and No. 15 Western Illinois in back-to-back weeks. In all, SDSU was ranked seven weeks. During the 2007 season, SDSU claimed its first conference title since 1963 by winning the Great West Football Conference championship. After starting 0-3 for the second consecutive season, SDSU reeled off seven wins in its final eight games, including a 29-24 victory over previously undefeated North Dakota State the final week of the season, to claim the GWFC title with a 7-4 overall record and 4-0 mark in league play. In leading SDSU to the GWFC title, Stiegelmeier was named conference coach of the year and was honored by the American Football Coaches Association as the Division I Football Championship Subdivision Region 5 Coach of the Year. In addition, he was named as one of five finalists in the FCS for the 2007 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award. After posting back-to-back 6-5 seasons in 2004 and 2005, the Jackrabbits rose another notch in 2006 as they compiled a 7-4 overall record, finishing the season ranked 21st in the final FCS poll conducted by The Sports Network and 22nd in the College Sporting News coaches’ poll. Following an 0-3 start, the Jackrabbits rebounded by winning seven consecutive games for the first time since 1963. Three of the victories came in the closing minutes against nationally ranked teams, setting up a showdown with North Dakota State on the final week of the season for both the Dakota Marker and Great West Football Conference title. Although SDSU fell short in the championship game, the Jackrabbits finished with their most victories since 2003 and their best mark in the three-year history of the GWFC at 3-1. Stiegelmeier, 53, is the 20th head coach for the Jackrabbits. His tenure of 13 years as head coach is the second-longest head coaching stint in school history. The Selby, S.D., native first became acquainted with the Jackrabbit football program as a student assistant under John Gregory during SDSU’s only other NCAA playoff season in 1979. With the Jackrabbits’ victory at McNeese State (La.) on Sept. 30, 2006, Stiegelmeier passed Gregory (55-50-3 from 1972-81) for sole possession of second place on the SDSU career wins list. 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 198184, 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. Stiegelmeier 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 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 in all six seasons, including five seven-win seasons. That track record of success helped Stiegelmeier secure his first head coaching position in December 1996, when he was named Daly’s successor.

ASSISTANT COACHES

LUKE MEADOWS

Assistant Head Coach • Offensive Coordinator • Offensive Line

uke Meadows continues his long association with South Dakota State University football as he enters his ninth season as offensive line coach. The longest-tenured assistant on John Stiegelemeier’s coaching staff, Meadows is in his fifth year with the role of assistant head coach and also holds the title of offensive coordinator. A Hot Springs native, Meadows began his coaching career as an undergraduate student at SDSU. After earning a bachelor’s degree in 1999, he continued on as a graduate assistant with the Jackrabbits during the 1999 and 2000 seasons, coaching the running backs, including Jackrabbit career rushing leader and AllAmerican Josh Ranek. He then spent a season as offensive line coach at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, before returning to SDSU in July 2002. In 2005, Meadows coached an offensive line that helped pave the way for the leading rushing attack in the Great West Football Conference, averaging 227.4 yards per game. During Meadows’ time on staff, the Jackrabbits have posted four of the top 10 single-season rushing totals in school history and five of the top 10 single-game rushing performances. In addition, SDSU has recorded four of the top-10 scoring averages in the program’s history, including 35.6 points per game in 2008. The 2008 squad also set an SDSU single-season record with 427 points in 12 games, scoring 40 or more points in a game six times. With Meadows on the coaching staff, SDSU has established 11 team single-game and single-season offensive records, including rolling up 689 yards of total offense in the 2005 Hobo Day victory over Missouri-Rolla. Jackrabbit players he has coached also have established 30 new individual school records during his tenure. Under his guidance, Meadows has coached offensive linemen who have combined for six first-team all-conference selections and second-team accolades 10 times, including 2009 honorees Ryan McKnight (first team) and Casey Knips (second team). Three of his former pupils — Mitch Erickson (Seattle Seahawks), Casey Bender (Cleveland Browns) and Casey Knips (Arizona Cardinals) — were in NFL training camps this summer. As a unit, the Jackrabbit offensive line yielded only 12 sacks for the entire season en route to winning the 2007 Great West Football Conference championship. Meadows also played a key role in SDSU’s successful transition to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision by serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator for much of his tenure.

CLINT BROWN

Co-Defensive Coordinator • Defensive Line Coach • Recruiting Coordinator

lint Brown enters his second season as an assistant coach with the South Dakota State University football program, filling the roles of co-defensive coordinator, defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. In 2009 with the Jackrabbits, Brown helped direct a defense that played a prominent role in SDSU’s berth in the Football Championship Subdivison playoffs. SDSU ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense for much of the season, before finishing the year ranked 16th after allowing an average of 17.4 points per game. Four times the Jackrabbits held an opponent without an offensive touchdown. Additionally, SDSU posted top-20 national rankings in three other defensive categories: pass efficiency defense (fourth, 99.55); rushing defense (104.33 yards per game) and total defense (17th, 289.5 yards per game). Brown also served as position coach for All-America defensive end Danny Batten, who was honored as Co-Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year and was later selected in the sixth round of the NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Brown has coached at the collegiate level for 16 years. Most recently, Brown served as the defensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator and assistant head coach at Wayne State College (Neb.) for four seasons. During his tenure at Wayne, the Wildcats improved from four wins the first season to a 9-3 record and NCAA Division II playoff berth in 2008. The 2007 squad led the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in sacks and ranked second in total defense. A native of Arlington, Neb., Brown earned two varsity letters at Nebraska and was a member of the Cornhuskers’ 1994 national championship team. While completing his bachelor’s degrees in secondary education biology and history, Brown began his collegiate coaching career as a student assistant for the Cornhuskers during the spring of 1995.

JAY BUBAK

Co-Defensive Coordinator • Secondary

ay Bubak (last name is pronounced BOO-bock), begins his sixth season on the Jackrabbit coaching staff as co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach at South Dakota State University.

During the 2009 season, Bubak helped mentor a defense that ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense for much of the year, before finishing the campaign ranked 16th after allowing an average of 17.4 points per game — its best showing in six seasons at the Division I Football Championship Subdivision level. Four times the Jackrabbits held an opponent without an offensive touchdown. Additionally, SDSU posted top-20 national rankings in three other categories: pass efficiency defense (fourth, 99.55); rushing defense (14th, 104.33 yards per game) and total defense (17th, 289.5 yards per game). During the Jackrabbits’ run to the Great West Football Conference title in 2007, SDSU led the league in scoring defense (22.2) despite playing four teams that ranked in the top 15 for scoring in FCS. The Jackrabbits also led the GWFC in turnover margin (plus-14), creating a league-best 31 takeaways. In addition, SDSU ranked second in pass defense (202.7 yards per game) and sacks (26). Five defensive players earned first-team allGWFC recognition, with three others honored on the second team. Both of SDSU’s starting cornerbacks, Brock Gentile and Tyler Koch, were honored on the all-GWFC First Team after combining for 10 interceptions. Koch also was named to All-America squads by The Associated Press and Sports Network after tallying a league-best seven interceptions, three of which he returned for scores. SDSU also played for the Great West title in 2006 as the Jackrabbit defense allowed only 21.4 points per game. A 1993 graduate of Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Neb., Bubak previously spent six seasons at Missouri Western State College in St. Joseph, Mo. After joining the Griffons’ coaching staff as secondary coach in 1999, Bubak was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2000, a position he filled for five seasons. While at Missouri Western, he helped lead the Griffons to a share of their first-ever Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association title in football during the 2003 season, finishing the season 9-3 overall and 7-2 in league play. The 2003 squad led the league with 30 turnovers forced and 33 sacks, paced by All-America free safety Pierre Thomas, who led all divisions of the NCAA with 14 interceptions and 362 interception return yards. As a player, Bubak was a four-year letterman and team defensive most valuable player at safety for Nebraska Wesleyan University, in Lincoln, Neb, from 1989-92. He received all-conference and CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition, while also serving as team captain. NWU won two league championships and made a pair of NAIA playoff appearances. Bubak began his coaching career in 1993 at Nebraska Wesleyan as an assistant in charge of the secondary. After a two-year stint as the defensive backfield and quarterbacks coach at Chase County High School in his native Imperial, Neb., he moved on to the University of South Dakota, where he served two years as a graduate assistant working with the linebackers and one year as a full-time assistant coach, working with the defensive backs and special teams. Two players he tutored, Matt Chatham and Josh Stamer, went on to play in the NFL.

JOSH DAVIS Wide Receivers

osh Davis will face the challenge of molding a young group of wide receivers as he begins his second full season as a member of the South Dakota State University football coaching staff.

During the Jackrabbits’ 2009 playoff-qualifying season, Davis mentored a veteran group of receivers led by two-time second-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection Glen Fox. The senior trio of Fox, Mike Steffen and Saunders Montague combined to account for 142 receptions, 1,875 yards and 10 touchdowns. A native of Omaha, Neb., Davis previously served as a graduate assistant on John Stiegelmeier’s coaching staff during the 2007 season and also served as a student intern in 2006 while completing his bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation. He further gained coaching experience at the collegiate level by mentoring the wide receivers at Council Bluffs-based Iowa Western Community College in the spring of 2009. A record-setting wide receiver at SDSU from 2002-05, Davis still holds the Jackrabbit career mark of 225 receptions, while his 3,192 receiving yards rank second on the all-time SDSU charts. In addition, Davis holds the SDSU single-game record with 16 receptions, a feat he accomplished against Western Washington in 2002. He recorded at least 40 receptions in all four seasons and led the team in catches three times, including 70 in 2002, a figure which ranks in a tie for second place on the Jackrabbit single-season charts. Davis was a first-team all-North Central Conference selection in 2003 and was a second-team all-Great West Football Conference honoree in 2005, the Jackrabbits’ second season competing in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision. In addition to his coaching duties, Davis helps coordinate the team’s travel and camps.

Junior Derek Domino was honored as a first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection, while seniors Chris Johnson and Jimmy Rogers received honorable mention accolades. All three ranked among the team’s top six tacklers, combining for 241 tackles and 17 tackles for loss. The linebackers played a prominent role on a defensive unit that ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense for much of the year, before finishing the campaign ranked 16th after allowing an average of 17.4 points per game — its best showing in six seasons at the Division I Football Championship Subdivision level. Four times the Jackrabbits held an opponent without an offensive touchdown. Additionally, SDSU posted top-20 national rankings in three other defensive categories: pass efficiency defense (fourth, 99.55); rushing defense (104.33 yards per game) and total defense (17th, 289.5 yards per game).

He was elevated to the head coaching position after serving as the team’s defensive coordinator in 2001, during which his unit ranked 10th in the NAIA ranks for pass defense and 18th in total defense. After serving as an assistant high school coach for one season, Mennenga began his collegiate coaching career in 1994 as a graduate assistant at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo. He was later hired as a full-time assistant, coaching the secondary during the 1995 and 1996 seasons. In 1997, Mennenga moved up to the Division I-AA (now FCS) level, coaching the outside linebackers for a Western Kentucky team that reached the quarterfinals of the playoffs. The next year, Mennenga became a coordinator for the first time as he was hired as defensive coordinator at Hutchinson Community College (Kan.), where he stayed for three seasons. As a player, Mennenga lettered as a defensive back at Missouri in 1992. A recipient of the Senior Scholastic Award, he earned a bachelor of science degree in educational studies with an emphasis in exercise science in 1993.

2010 Jackrabbit Football

COUGHLIN-ALUMNI STADIUM Coughlin-Alumni Stadium is in its 49th season as home of Jackrabbit football. 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 the past decade. A new scoreboard was installed in the south end zone prior to the 2005 season. The scoreboard, which was manufactured by Brookings-based 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. The football scoreboard was part of a $3 million upgrade to scoreboard display systems and signage at SDSU athletic facilities. Also in the past decade 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. CAS will see other changes this fall as the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center, located in the north end zone, will house the Jackrabbit football team for the first time. With the addition of the lights during the summer of 2000, CAS also became the home of the Brookings High School Bobcats. 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 19-5 record in night games at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. The natural-grass stadium opened Sept. 22, 1962, when the Jacks lost a 9-7 decision to Arkansas State. During its 49 years of operation, there have been 258 games against 59 different opponents at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, with SDSU holding a 159-99 record (.616 winning percentage) on its home field. Since moving to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision in 2004, the Jackrabbits have posted a 25-8 mark at CAS. That includes an 8-2 record at home against Missouri Valley Football Conference opponents. The largest crowd ever to see a football game of any kind in South Dakota came through the turnstiles on Nov. 17, 2007, when 16,345 fans watched the Jackrabbits defeat North Dakota State, 29-24, for the Great West Football Conference title. NDSU entered the game undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the FCS Coaches Poll. SDSU also set a single-season attendance record during the 2007 campaign as an average of 11,218 fans attended each of the Jackrabbits’ six home games. Four of the games drew crowds better than 10,000 and three ranked among the 10 largest crowds in stadium history. The Jackrabbits have performed well in front of large crowds, winning eight of the 10 most-attended games. The previous single-game attendance record was set on Hobo Day, Oct. 19, 1985, when 16,193 fans saw SDSU defeat the University of South Dakota 24-12. USD also was undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the nation at the time. The stadium project was started after Charles Coughlin, a 1909 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.

2010 Jackrabbit Football

DYKHOUSE STUDENT-ATHLETE CENTER The newest athletic facility at South Dakota State University, the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center opened in early 2010. The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center will help Jackrabbit Athletics take another step forward in its mission to produce student-athletes as Lifelong Champions. The 30,000-square-foot facility: • Houses an academic center for all SDSU student-athletes. • Serves as the home of Jackrabbit football with coaches offices, locker room, meeting rooms, a strength and conditioning center and athletic training facilities. • Provides a dedicated area to showcase the program to recruits and donors. The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center is equipped with seven meeting rooms for the Jackrabbit football team to accommodate offense, defense, special teams,as well as specified position space as necessary. The home of Jackrabbit football players consists of a state-ofthe-art locker room, which is second to none in the region. It embodies everything that Jackrabbit Athletics stands for: Honor, Tradition and Excellence. Players will have the opportunity to condition and train in the 4,100-square-foot Strength & Conditioning Center, filled with the latest strength training and fitness equipment. The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center was made possible through leadership gifts from the Dana and La Dawn Dykhouse family and South Dakota businessman and philanthropist T. Denny Sanford. Dana Dykhouse, president and Chief Executive Officer of First Premier Bank in Sioux Falls, is a 1979 graduate of SDSU. He lettered three years for the Jackrabbit football team, earning honorable mention all-North Central Conference honors as a defensive tackle in 1978. La Dawn Dykhouse also graduated in 1979 from SDSU, where she was a Pride of the Dakotas Dakota Deb Member. They are the parents of two children: Dan (Kristina), a 2007 alumnus and football letterwinner from 2004-06; and Alana, who graduated from Black Hills State University in the spring of 2010 after lettering four times in women’s basketball. The Chicoine Champions Room is named in recognition of the gift provided by the Jeff and Chris Chicoine family of Lake Forest, Ill. Jeff Chicoine is a 1968 agricultural economics graduate and football letterwinner. The Chicoine Champions Room will serve as a hub for football recruiting and will be transformed to a donor hospitality suite on gamedays. To date, the Dana and La Dawn Dykhouse family, T. Denny Sanford and nearly 50 other donors have given more than $6 million in support of the project. Many have accelerated their gifts to the University, which has increased the amount of the donations through interest earned. Top: The exterior view of the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center from inside Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS The South Dakota State University football team continued to gain conference and national recognition for its academic pursuits during the 2009 season. Headlining the individual award winners were juniors Kyle Minett and Conrad Kjerstad, who received recognition on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Team within the University Division. A running back from Ruthton, Minn., Minett was honored on the first team for the second consecutive year with a 3.60 grade-point average while majoring in economics. Kjerstad, a safety from Wall, earned secondteam honors with a 3.93 GPA in agricultural business. He later was named to the 12th annual Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star Team. Minett and Kjerstad were joined on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team by senior offensive lineman Casey Knips and junior punter Dean Priddy. Knips, a native of Adrian, Minn., compiled a 3.69 GPA while majoring in construction management. He also was a semifinalist for the 2009 William V. Campbell Trophy, which is awarded to the college football’s top scholar-athlete. A native of Eden Prairie, Minn., Priddy is cur-

rently pursuing a master’s degree in mathematics after compiling a 3.71 GPA as an undergraduate. After leading the Missouri Valley Football Conference in team grade-point average during the 2008 season, the Jackrabbits posted a league-best 10 selection, including three firstteam honorees, on the 2009 MVFC All-Academic Team, which was announced in December. It marked the fifth consecutive season SDSU led its football conference in all-academic picks. Headlining the list of Jackrabbit honorees were running backs and repeat first-team selections Minett and Tyler Duffy. A junior running back and Brookings native, Duffy earned a spot on the first team with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average while majoring in electrical engineering. Kjerstad was the other first-team selection. SDSU’s lone representative on the second team was senior linebacker Chris Johnson, a Council Bluffs, Iowa, native who has compiled a 3.49 GPA in economics. Six other Jackrabbit players received honorable mention honors: seniors Knips and Jimmy Rogers, juniors Derek Domino, Matt Hylland and Priddy, and sophomore Brad Iverson. SDSU, coached by John Stiegelmeier, led the

Great West Football Conference in the number of academic all-conference selections from 2005 through 2007. Nominees to the 2009 Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Academic team must have been starters or key reserves with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade-point average. Studentathletes must have reached sophomore academic and athletic standing at their institutions and must have completed at least one full academic year at their institution. League sports information directors voted on the team by designating 11 players for first-team honors and 11 players for second-team recognition. The league also recognized 52 Jackrabbit players following the conclusion of the 2009-10 academic year on the MVFC Honor Roll for posting a GPA of 3.0 or better while being enrolled in at least 12 hours during the fall. Of those 52 players, 25 qualified for the Commissioner’s Academic Excellence Award, which requires a minimum 3.2 GPA for each of the previous two semesters and at least a sophomore in academic standing. In addition, Duffy, Knips and Priddy received the Presidents Council Academic Award, which requires a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA and within 18 hours of graduation.

It’s through cooperation and teamwork that we connect our small town strengths and resources to the global market. It’s also why we’re committed to recruiting the brightest leaders of tomorrow. To learn more, visit chsinc.com. © 2009 CHS Inc.

COACH STIG’S COMMENTS “Colin Cochart has developed into an excellent tight end in his five years at South Dakota State University. He has always been able to catch the football and has paid the price to become an excellent blocker. Throughout all of his hard work I do not think that I have ever seen Colin without a smile. I know Colin would love to catch more passes and has the desire and ability to be a consistent difference maker for us. The reality is, that when his number has been called, his play has Made a Difference for our football team.”

HOBO DAY HISTORY The date – November 2, 1912. The event – first Hobo Day at State College. Hobo Day is said to have originated with s everal 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

BURYING THE RAZOR was a popular ritual leading up to Hobo Day in years past. 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 residents’ 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.

ABOUT YOUNGSTOWN STATE

Head Coach Eric Wolford Youngstown, Ohio, native Eric Wolfrod was named the sixth head coach in Youngstown State University history on Dec. 15, 2009. Wolford took over his hometown program after building an impressive resume the past 16 years as a collegiate assistant. Of those, 12 have been spent at the Football Bowl Subdivision level. He has a tremendous background working with some of the most reputable names in college football. As an assistant, he has coached for Steve Spurrier (South Carolina), Ron Zook (Illinois), Mike Stoops (Arizona), Darrell Dickey (North Texas), Dana Dimel (Houston), Jim Leavitt (South Florida) and Bill Snyder (Kansas State). He spent the 2009 season as the running-game coordinator and offensive line coach at South Carolina. The Gamecocks posted a 7-5 mark and made an appearance in the PapaJohns.com Bowl against Connecticut. The 39-year-old Wolford spent two seasons at Illinois (2007-08) with Zook before heading to South Carolina. In his two seasons with the Illini, his lines led the Big Ten Conference in rushing (2007) and passing (2008) yards per game. In 2007, Illinois finished with a 9-4 overall mark and represented the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl following a 6-2 league mark. He began his coaching career at Kansas State, where he served as a graduate assistant and worked with the offensive line for Snyder. From there, he spent a year as the offensive line and strength coach at Emporia State (Kan.). Wolford was a four-year starter as an offensive guard for the Wildcats, and his teams laid the groundwork for the program’s emergence on the national stage. A member of Snyder’s first KSU recruiting class, he went on to start a total of 34 games in his career, including 21 at right guard and 13 at left guard. His senior year, the Wildcats won the school's first bowl game, beating Wyoming in the 1993 Copper Bowl.

Youngstown State is rebuilding the foundation of its storied football program under firstyear head coach Eric Wolford. The Penguins have undergone an offensive transformation this season, upping their average scoring from 21.1 points per game in 2009 to 33 points per game in 2010. Running the football has been key for the Penguins, who are averaging 228.1 yards per game on the ground. Sophomore Jamaine Cook leads the rushing attack with 781 yards, averaging 5.9 yards per carry, and seven touchdowns. Adaris Bellamy has ground out 395 yards and scored eight times. As a team, YSU has scored 22 of its 28 touchdowns on the ground. The Penguins feature a veteran offensive line anchored by three seniors, including left guard Eric Rodemoyer, a second-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference a year ago. The passing game has been directed by redshirt fresman Kurt Hess. The Dayton, Ohio, native has completed 63.2 percent (108-of171) of his passes for 1,195 yards and six touchdowns.

Barnes

38 The Bum

Cook

The receiving corps has been led by senior Dominique Barnes. An honorable mention allMVFC honoree a year ago, Barnes has twice as many catches as the next closest receiver on the team with 35 receptions for 467 yards and two touchdowns. Barnes has big-play ability, scoring on an 80-yard pass against Penn State and an 86-yard punt return a week later versus Butler (Ind.). Overall, Barnes is averaging 13.3 yards per reception and 19.5 yards per punt return. Other primary targets have been Ely Ducatell, who has tallied 17 receptions and a touchdown, and Cook, who has caught 11 passes out of the backfield. Cook also has returned kicks on a limited basis this season. The Penguins’ defensive unit has been paced by junior linebacker John Sasson, who leads the team with 55 tackles. Fellow linebacker Deonta Tate is third on the squad with 47 tackles, including four for loss, while the third starter, David Rach, has collected team highs with five tackles for loss and two sacks among his 43 stops.

Hess

Nicholson

Hometown product Donald D’Alesio ranks second on the squad with 48 tackles from his free safety position as part of a strong secondary. Cornerback Brandian Ross leads the team with two interceptions and five pass breakups, along with contributing 35 tackles. At the opposite corner, Randy Louis has notched 30 tackles and an interception. Up front, defensive tackle Torrance Nicholson has turned in a strong first half of the season, collecting 27 tackles, four tackles for loss and a sack. Senior kicker Stephen Blose has been steady for the Penguins, connecting on 7-of-9 field goal attempts and converting all 28 pointafter tries. Blose is 6-of-7 on field goals under 40 yards this season, but does have a 43yarder to his credit. Jake Smith has handled the bulk of the kickoff duties and redshirt freshman Nick Liste has handled the punting chores. Liste is averaging 41.7 yards per boot and has landed 10 of his 26 punts inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.

COACH STIG’S COMMENTS “Kyle Minett literally hit the ground running when he got to South Dakota State University. He came to us after a tremendous high school career and has improved every day. He goes full speed on the field and in the classroom. As a running back he is the complete package. He is excellent at running, receiving and blocking. When Kyle does something, he does it to the best of his abilities. He is a great leader who demands excellence from everyone in the program. On a lighter note, Kyle eats more than any running back I have been associated with. His eating habits mirror those of his favorite players, the offensive line. Bottom line, when Kyle takes the field, he will Make a Difference.”

Twice in the last three years he received an Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the Midwest section of the American Society of Animal Science. In 2008, it was the Extension Specialist award. This year it was the Research award. “Receiving just one of these awards is a great honor.

Steve Hildebrand Residence: Sioux Falls Award: Professional Achievement Degree: ’86 Political Science Occupation: Political consultant and co-founder of Hildebrand Strategies Family: Longtime partner, Mike Pierce Hildebrand had an attractive résumé before 2008, but after Nov. 4, 2008, he was a shoo-in to the political strategists’ hall of fame. As deputy national campaign manager for Barack Obama, Hildebrand earned praise for turning a first-term Illinois senator into the first black president of the United States. The Times of London described him as “Obama’s secret weapon” and the Washington Post called him “one of the principal architects” of Obama’s campaign. His start was with Tom Daschle in 1986. After the 2008 presidential campaign ended, Hildebrand returned to his Sioux Falls political consulting firm to work on issue campaigns.

Award: Professional Achievement Degree: Ph.D. ’82 Animal Science Occupation: Research geneticist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service Family: Wife, Betty; a daughter, Megan, and a son, Brendan MacNeil, a research geneticist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, is considered by some of his peers as one of the leading beef geneticists in the world. His theories on genetics and economic benefit have become standards in the industry. The key word there is “become.” “The beef cattle industry was very slow to recognize the critical importance of melding economics with genetics for decision-making purposes,” according to Wade Shafer, director of performance programs at the American Simmental Association. That didn’t stop it from being a high priority for MacNeil since the beginning of his career, which started at SDSU in 1976.

Jim McKinney Residence: Brookings Award: Non-Alumnus Service to South Dakota Occupation: Retired director of bands at SDSU Family: Two daughters, Jennifer and Jamie; one son, Michael. McKinney’s direction of the SDSU marching band for 29 years made “The Pride” an instantly recognizable connection to the university. He served in the music department from 1973 to 1975 and then again from 1983 to May 2009. During nearly three decades as an educator, he hit numerous noteworthy marks, but the public knows him best as the Pride’s band director. Band members’ most notable trips were to President Bill Clinton’s inaugural parade (1997), a Green Bay Packers game (1998), the National Independence Day Parade (2000), the Roses Parades (2003 and 2008), and dedications of Korean and Vietnam war memorials in Pierre.

Lyle Solem Residence: Rochester, Minn. Award: Service to SDSU Degree: ’59 Electrical Engineering Occupation: Retired senior engineer with IBM Family: Wife, Donna; three daughters: Renae, Diane and Janet; four grandchildren Solem, a retired electrical engineer, never cut ties with the university from which he graduated more than a half-century ago. As an IBM manager, he recruited more than 50 SDSU students to his Rochester, Minn., workplace. Since 1996 he has helped the SDSU Foundation on an unofficial basis in its fundraising and has served on the SDSU Foundation board since 2001. In 2004 he was recognized by the College of Engineering as a distinguished university benefactor. As a university fundraiser he is best known for the relationship he developed with former mechanical engineering department head John Sandfort and his wife, Lela. The Sandforts, now of Bella Vista, Ark., eventually committted $1 million while developing a close friendshhip with Solem and his wfie.

2010 Jackrabbit Football

IN THE

PROS

Heading into the start of the 2010 football season, six former South Dakota State standouts were in training camps of National Football League teams, continuing the Jackrabbits’ long tradition of developing players into pro prospects. Headlining the list was Adam Vinatieri of the Indianapolis Colts. Vinatieri has earned a reputation as one the most consistent and clutch kickers in the NFL. After two Pro Bowl selections (2002, 2004), he left New England following the 2005 season as the team’s career scoring leader. Vinatieri’s career totals include 338-of-412 on field goal attempts, 82 percent, and 1,530 career points. He holds the second-longest streak of consecutive 100-point seasons to start a career in NFL history with 13 — a streak that ended during an injury-plagued 2009 campaign. Vinatieri also has excelled in the postseason. He holds the distinction of being the only kicker in NFL history to play in five different Super Bowl games, and made a field goal four of those games. He kicked last-second game-winning field goals in Super Bowl XXXVI against St. Louis and Super Bowl XXXVIII versus Carolina, as well as a game-tying 45-yard field goal in a snowstorm against Oakland in the 2001 AFC Playoffs. His career postseason totals include 42-of-51 on field goals and a perfect 51-of-51 on extra points. Vinatieri’s field goal totals are NFL postseason records, as are his 177 points. Vinatieri began his professional career with the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe before signing with the New England Patriots in 1996. Four members of SDSU’s 2009 Football Championship Subdivision playoff team competed for NFL roster spots this summer, including defenisve standout Danny Batten. Batten became the first Jackrabbit player in 11 years to be taken in the NFL Draft, when he was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round. A defensive end in college, Batten was moved to linebacker at the professional level, but will miss the 2010 season after suffering an injury. Three other Jackrabbit standouts signed free-agent contracts following the 2010 draft. Offensive linemen Casey Bender and Casey Knips agreed to

terms with the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals, respecively, while linebacker Chris Johnson originally received a tryout with the Chicago Bears before signing with the Arizona Cardinals. In addition, Mitch Erickson spent training camp with the Seattle Seahawks, after spending the 2008 and 2009 season on the practice squad for the Denver Broncos. Another former Jackrabbit kicker, Parker Douglass, is playing professionally with the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League. Douglass kicked for the California Redwoods in 2009.

COMPLIANCE CORNER A message from Kathy Heylens, Associate Athletic Director for Compliance/SWA: If in doubt – ask! This simple phrase is a friendly reminder to alumni, fans, and friends of SDSU that it is always better to ask before you act! There are many ways to be involved with athletic teams, but we must always be mindful to do so within the University, conference, and NCAA rules and regulations. To this end, the athletic department compliance program is designed to: • Create a culture of compliance among all constituents of the athletic program, including student-athletes, coaches, staff, and fans, in keeping with NCAA, conference and institutional rules and regulations. • Monitor all aspects of the athletic program to ensure compliance; identify and report all instances in which compliance has not been achieved; and affirm that appropriate corrective actions are taken, and • Educate all constituents about applicable NCAA, conference and institutional rules. It is our utmost goal to strive for athletic excellence, which can be achieved with ethical conduct and integrity. We are grateful for your loyal and continuing support, and rely upon you to partner with us creating a championship environment for all our athletic teams. Please feel free to contact the compliance office by e-mail at

COACH STIG’S COMMENTS “Conrad Kjerstad is a special student-athlete in so many ways. The first thing I think of is his ability to play the game; he has a true knack. Along with great athletic ability to make plays, he understands the game and is able to make adjustments easily. He is excellent in the classroom and is excellent as a leader, being voted a team captain. Conrad has made so many plays and so many great decisions on the football field. Unfortunately for Conrad, he had to make a tough decision this fall. Prior to getting on the field, Conrad decided that due to medical reasons he would give up the game he had given so much to. It has been tough on those who know him, but one thing has not changed ... Conrad Kjerstad is a Difference Maker. The Bum 49

The past four seasons have dealt great change to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Within that span, the league has lost a member, gained two members and changed its name. Despite those developments, a quality nationally competitive product has been a constant for the league, which celebrated its Silver Anniversary in 2009. The Missouri Valley Football Conference enters its 26th year of existence this fall and has proven to be one of the nation’s premier NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) leagues. There’s not much that has eluded the conference in its first 25 years of existence. The league’s first two-plus decades have included national championships, national players of the year, national coaches of the year, No. 1 national rankings, and countless All-Americans. Strong coaching and great players have helped make the league a national force, but the stability and leadership of Commissioner Patty Viverito -- the only commissioner the league has ever known -- has helped make the Missouri Valley Football Conference a standard bearer on the FCS scene. Indeed, all signs point to continued national prominence for the Missouri Valley Football Conference as it enters its 26th season in 2010. In June 2008, presidents of the nine-member Gateway Football Conference and the 10-member Missouri Valley Conference approved a rebranding initiative that changed the football conference name from the Gateway Football Conference to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. It represented the second name change for the football league. Initially, the conference competed as the Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference (1985-91) and the Gateway Football Conference (1992-2007). Although the league shares the Missouri Valley name, the football-playing members compete under a separate administrative umbrella, as the Missouri Valley Conference and the Missouri Valley Football Conference will remain separate entities. While the 2009 season didn’t produce a national championship, it was a successful one, as Southern Illinois and South Dakota State represented the conference in the playoffs, marking the 15th-straight season in which at least two teams have participated in post-season play. For three-straight weeks to close out the regular season, Southern Illinois enjoyed the No. 1 national ranking, while RB Deji Karim of Southern Illinois and DE Danny Batten of South Dakota State were finalists in the Walter Payton Award and Buck Buchanan voting, respectively, with each finishing third. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has two recent national championships (Western

Kentucky - 2002; Youngstown State - 1997), and league members Youngstown State (3) and Southern Illinois (1) own additional titles prior to their league membership, meaning six FCS championship trophies are housed on league campuses, in addition to three (Youngstown State twice and UNI in 2005) runner-up finishes. Only five FCS leagues possess more than a single FCS championship trophy, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference is among that elite. In recent years, the league has established itself as a leader among FCS conferences. During the past 13 years, the league has two national championships and eight other semifinal trips. The league’s 36-27 playoff mark in that span is third-best among all FCS leagues, and the conference has had four teams reach the title game since 1997. The Missouri Valley Football Conference success is not limited to the immediate past. During the decade of the 1990’s, current members of the league compiled a 34-19 mark in the FCS playoffs, bettered only by the Southern Conference, whose members were 37-19 in that decade. Team accomplishments have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Football Conference as an FCS elite, but individuals at the league’s member institutions are the real source of pride within the conference. Thanks to great players and strong coaching, the Missouri Valley Football Conference has reached and will maintain its place among the FCS best. Last year, despite tough scheduling, six teams in the conference had winning records, marking the first time that’s ever happened in the 25-year history of the league. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has had four teams (or more) with better than .500 records in the same season 16 times now, including the past 12 seasons. In 1997, Youngstown State grabbed the crowned jewel for the conference, as the league had one of its most successful seasons. In addition to claiming the league’s first national championship, the Penguins finished the year ranked No. 1, marking the first time a league member has held that spot in a season-ending poll. That year, Western Illinois was at No. 6, marking the first time the league ended the year with two teams ranked among the top six. In 1999, the Missouri Valley Football Conference trumped that, as Youngstown State finished the year No. 2 and Illinois State was No. 3. UNI also finished in the top 20 in both nationally recognized polls. In 2002, Western Kentucky added to the league’s national championship trophy case with an FCS crown, while both WKU (No. 1) and Western Illinois (No. 5) finished among the nation’s top five in the season-ending polls. The Hilltoppers became the first school to earn

MISSOURI VALLEY FOOTBALL CONFERENCE victories against the tourney’s top three seeds en route to their national championship. In 2003, four Valley teams represented the league in the 16-team NCAA playoffs, marking the first time any league has sent that many to the playoffs in the same year. In 2004, Southern Illinois spent a leaguerecord 11 weeks as the nation’s top-ranked team, while all eight league teams received votes for the Top 25 at some point in the season. Linebacker Boomer Grigsby of Illinois State earned a National Defensive Player of the Year honor, while SIU’s Jerry Kill was National Coach of the Year. In 2005, UNI became the fourth league school to reach the FCS championship game since 1997, while Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky combined to hold the nation’s No. 1 ranking in the top-25 polls for five weeks. In 2006, Youngstown State won its secondstraight league championship and the Penguins were joined in the playoff field by Illinois State and Southern Illinois. That marked only the second time in league history the league had more than two teams qualify for the 16-team playoff field. SIU’s Arkee Whitlock was a national player of the year award winner (College Sporting News) and was third in the Walter Payton Award balloting. In 2008, six teams were nationally ranked in the same poll, marking the first time in league history that had happened. Those six teams were ranked for four consecutive weeks. North Dakota State held the nation’s No. 1 spot for its first two weeks as a conference member, while rookie coach Dale Lennon of Southern Illinois became just the third mentor to win Coach of the Year honors in his first league season. The original Gateway Conference was founded as a women’s athletic organization in August 1982, following the dissolution of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. In September of that year, Patty Viverito was named the first commissioner of the newly founded conference, a position she maintains today. Before moving to its permanent headquarters in St. Louis, the conference spent three organizational months on the campus of Eastern Illinois University. In July of 1992, the 10-team conference disbanded as its women’s programs realigned with their men’s teams in their respective conferences. The league assumed its new name on July 1, 1992, becoming the Gateway Football Conference, an NCAA FCS football league comprised of seven Midwest institutions. The Gateway Conference football division was born on August 21, 1985, when the Gate-

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE officially opened the Missouri Valley Football Conference era by defeating Youngstown State, 40-7, on Sept. 6, 2008, at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. The Jackrabbits ended their inaugural season in the MVFC with a 6-2 league record. way Conference President’s Council voted to add a FCS football division for six of its members to the previously all-women’s athletics organization. Founding members of the football division were Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, UNI, Southern Illinois, Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) and Western Illinois. The creation of the football division marked the first time in college annals that football was added to a women’s conference. In June of 1986, Indiana State became the seventh member of the conference. In the 25 years of the football division, league membership has been stable -- with only five fluctuations since 1986 Eastern Illinois left the league to join the Ohio Valley Conference in 1996, while Youngstown State joined the conference in 1997 to return league membership to its original seven-member status. League membership reached what was then an all-time high of eight members for the start of the 2001 season with the addition of Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers left the league after six years to join the Sun Belt (FBS) North Dakota State and South Dakota State joined for the start of the 2008 season, giving the league nine members for the first time. The Missouri Valley Football Conference is among 10 FCS conferences that receive automatic bids to the NCAA FCS Championship. The conference has had an automatic bid since 1986, as the FCS Football Committee waived the league’s two-year waiting period and granted the league an automatic bid after just one year. The Missouri Valley Football Conference is the only automatic FCS qualifying conference that sponsors football as its only sport, as the league completed its service to women’s athlet-

ics following the 1991-92 season. Although the league no longer sponsors women’s sports, the league has an historical place in the development of intercollegiate women’s athletics. The 10 founders of the original Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference currently belong to three conferences. Eight members joined their men’s programs in the Missouri Valley: Bradley, Drake, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, UNI, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is now in the Ohio Valley Conference, while Western Illinois competes in The Summit League. Members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference (and initial year of membership) include: Illinois State University (1985), Indiana State University (1986), Missouri State University (1985), North Dakota State University (2008), the University of Northern Iowa (1985), South Dakota State University (2008), Southern Illinois University (1985), Western Illinois University (1985), and Youngstown State University (1997). Five Missouri Valley Football Conference members also compete in the Missouri Valley Conference (Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, and Southern Illinois). Three league schools compete in The Summit League (North Dakota State, South Dakota State, and Western Illinois), while Youngstown State competes in the Horizon League for its other sports. In its decade of operation, the Gateway sponsored championships in 10 women’s sports and football. The women’s sports were basketball, cross country, golf, indoor and outdoor track & field, swimming and diving, tennis, softball, volleyball and, early on, field hockey.

Jackrabbit Athletic Scholarship Endowment The opportunity to provide a gift to South Dakota State University athletics in your name or in the name of a loved one will truly make a difference in the lives of Jackrabbit student-athletes for years to come. Endowments help ensure the long-term sustainability of Jackrabbit Athletics and its programs. A pledge of $20,000 is needed to start an endowment. Payments may be structured toward the endowment a number of different ways. Once the fund reaches the $20,000 mark, distributions from the fund are used to support scholarships for student-athletes of South Dakota State University. For more information on giving opportunities, contact Mike Burgers, Associate Athletic Director for Development at (605) 697-7475 or by email at: mike.burgers@sdsufoundation.org. The Bum 57
