2 Division I National Title Appearances (1997 & 2002) • 14 Division I Playoff Appearances • 13 SLC Championships
McNeese in the Postseason With 14 appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs (FCS), McNeese State more than doubles the appearances of any other Southland Conference school. The Cowboys have posted an 11-14 record in the FCS playoffs, including two national championship appearances (1997 and 2002) and another semifinal spot (1995). McNeese has also appeared in three Independence Bowl games, including a 20-16 victory over Tulsa in the inaugural bowl game on Dec. 13, 1976. It was the first time McNeese appeared in a Division I postseason game. Other appearances were a 31-7 loss to Art Monk’s Syracuse team in the 1979 bowl and a 16-14 setback to Southern Mississippi in 1980. In 1991, McNeese State made its first of five straight appearances in the FCS playoffs, falling to No. 1 ranked Nevada 22-16. The Cowboys won their first playoff game the next year in a 23-20 win over Idaho but fell 29-7 to Northern Iowa in the quarterfinals. In 1995, McNeese capped off a perfect 11-0 regular season with a trip to its first-ever semifinals, but Marshall freshman quarterback Chad Pennington led his Thundering Herd to a 25-13 win. In 1997, McNeese slugged its way in dramatic fashion into its first FCS title game appearance, only to see it fall 10-9 to Youngstown, and in 2002, returned to the championship in a 34-14 loss to Western Kentucky, a team it had beaten convincingly earlier in the season, 38-13.

Cowboy Stadium McNeese State’s Cowboy Stadium has traditionally been one of the most feared places to play for opposing teams. Dubbed “The Hole” for its unique design and layout, the stadium was constructed in 1965 and renovated and expanded to a 17,410 seating capacity in 1975. Added in 1998 was a $3 million, three tier press box. In 2005, a new scoreboard and sound system ($1.1 million renovation) debuted. And in 2008, a GEOMAX2 artificial turf was put in and seating increased to 17,610 with the completion of the new athletic field house that features 200 box seats that overlook the north endzone. The Cowboys also have a practice area (A.I. Ratcliff Field) that includes three football fields on the east side of the stadium. Throughout its 48-year history, Cowboy Stadium has hosted standout players such as Roger Staubach (Pensacola Navy, 1968), Terry Bradshaw (Louisiana Tech, 1967 and 1969), Jackie Smith (Northwestern State, 1960), Chad Pennington (Marshall, 1995), Daunte Culpepper (Central Florida, 1995), just to name a few. McNeese has racked up 183 wins at home in the history of Cowboy Stadium and has posted at .691 (183-83-5) home field winning percentage. The Cowboys have also had nine unbeaten seasons at home with three of those coming since the year 2000 (2-0 in 2005, 8-0 in 2002 and 5-0 in 2000). Since 2000, McNeese is 57-17 (.770) in Cowboy Stadium.

McNeese State debuted its new GeoMax2 infilled “replicated grass” playing field in 2008. The project was financed by longtime university supporter Robert Noland and at his request the field was named the Louis Bonnette Field in honor of the school’s longtime sports information director. GSE GeoSport Surfaces, which is the largest geo-synthetics manufacturer in the world and the inventors of all rubber infill “replicated grass” installed the turf. McNeese booster clubs - the Cowboy Club, the Quarterback Club and the Petrochem Athletic Association - provided additional funding for the project. Bonnette retired from McNeese State this past June after serving 46 years as the school’s first and only Sports Information Director. Bonnette, a native of Pineville and graduate of Louisiana Tech, has received numerous professional honors in his career. Twice he served as president of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association and the LSWA presented him with its highest honor, the Mac Russo Award. He was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in the sports journalism division and in 2009; he was inducted into the College Sports Information Directors of America Hall of Fame; is a member of the McNeese State Athletic Hall of Fame and the Southland Conference Hall of Honor. Bonnette worked his 500th consecutive football game on October 24, 2009 and holds the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) record for most consecutive football games worked, a number that stands at 526 and is expected to continue.

WIDE RECEIVER Preseason all-conference selection Diontae Spencer (31 catches for 413 yards) is one of many talented receivers the Cowboys have this season. Spencer, who finished second at the Southland Conference Outdoor Track and Field Meet in the 100-meter dash, will also be called upon to return punts for the Cowboys. The senior is the team’s top returning receiver. Speedy senior Ernest Celestie returns after ranking third on the team in 2012 with 21 catches for 246 yards. Senior Wes Briscoe (13 catches for 222 yards and three tds) and senior Jereon McGilvery (3 catches for 28 yards) will be back.

Matt
Coaching Staff
Viator McNeese State, 1986
Head Coach (52-24, 8th season as Head Coach; 15th overall) One of the most successful coaches in the NCAA’s FCS division, McNeese’s Matt Viator has put together winning percentages of 68 percent (overall) and 73 percent (league games only) in his previous six years as the Cowboy head coach. During that period he has led his team to three Southland Conference titles and to two runnerup finishes, averaging seven victories a year. The winningest active coach in the league, Viator will carry a 52-24 overall record and a 35-13 league mark into the upcoming season. The Cowboy coach, a graduate of McNeese, had served as an assistant coach on the staff for eight years before stepping into the top job four games deep into the 2006 season. Taking over a squad that had won but one of its first four games he led the team to a 6-2 record the rest of the way that year, won the SLC title and put his team into the NCAA championship playoffs. That was the start of one of the most electrifying coaching rises in conference history as the very next year his team posted only the fourth undefeated, untied regular season record in the university’s history, won the league title for a second year and participated in the NCAA FCS championship for a second straight year. Since then his team also won the 2009 title and finished second in the league standings in both 2008 and 2010. The Cowboys finished fourth last season but won their final three conference games to finish 4-3 and securing their eighth straight non-losing season – eighth longest such streak in FCS football. Viator has earned numerous coaching honors including two SLC coach of the year awards and a Louisiana collegiate coach of the year honor. He has also been a finalist for the national Eddie Robinson award twice. He claimed his first collegiate coaching victory in his very first game as head coach when the Cowboys posted a 30-27 win over Southern Utah in 2006. His 50th win came in exciting fashion as the Cowboys defeated conference foe Stephen F. Austin 35-24 on Homecoming night last Oct. 27. 48

2 Division I National Title Appearances (1997 & 2002) • 14 Division I Playoff Appearances • 13 SLC Championships
Viator is the 14th head coach in McNeese history. His 6-2 rookie record included a 5-1 mark in league play, the team winning the final five league games of the year. His teams have been ranked in the top 25 national polls five of the last seven seasons. Prior to his becoming head coach, Viator had served the university as offensive coordinator and is regarded as one of the top Division I offensive minds. The Cowboys have ranked among the national leaders in offense for eight of the past 12 years and the university has also produced the Southland Conference’s top offensive performer four of the last nine seasons. His offenses have led the league in scoring five times and in 2008 set school records for total offense per game, passing offense per game and scoring average per game. The Cowboys had the nation’s leading scorer in 2009, tailback Toddrick Pendland, and two years ago had the No. 2 punt returner in the nation in Darius Carey. Before he joined McNeese, Viator was one of the top prep coaches in Louisiana, producing an 81-37 wonlost record, winning one state crown and five league titles. He joined McNeese in 1999 as linebacker coach and was made offensive coordinator in 2000, the Cowboys leading the league in both scoring offense and total offense that year. He is married and wife Schantel is a school teacher. His father is the late Nolan Viator, a former Cowboy coach, player (QB, MVP) and member of the McNeese Hall of Fame.

Guidry McNeese, 1995
Assistant Head Coach Defensive Coordinator (DB) 7th year, 1st since 2008
McNeese football head coach Matt Viator didn’t have to venture outside of the McNeese family to find a new defensive coordinator as he named former Cowboy standout player and previous coach Lance Guidry to guide his team’s defense as well as hold the title of assistant head coach. Guidry, a Welsh native, fills the spot that was vacated when Mike Collins left to become defensive coordinator at Sam Houston State. This will be the fourth stint for Guidry, a 1995 McNeese graduate, on the Cowboys staff. He served as a graduate assistant in 1994 then returned as the school’s defensive coordinator from 2000-04, and in 2008, coached the defensive backs. In his seven combined years previously on the McNeese coaching staff, the Cowboys have compiled a 60-26 record, including a 31-11 mark in Southland Conference games. McNeese won three conference championships during that span, made five FCS playoff appearances, and played in the 2002 FCS National Championship game. “I was real excited when Matt (Viator) called to talk about me coming back,” said Guidry who served a brief stint on the staff of Stephen F. Austin before returning to McNeese. “My loyalty is to Coach Viator and to McNeese. It’s like when momma calls you to come back home, you go.” Guidry hit the ground running on all cylinders at McNeese with a defense he knows all to well. “I’m real familiar with the coaches and some of the players,” said Guidry. “First thing is to meet with the coaches and go over all of the terminology. Some things will change but the 4-2-5 defense is in my blood. I’m very excited to be back.” Guidry served as defensive coordinator at Western Kentucky the last two seasons and was named interim head coach on December 8 of last year to lead WKU against Central Michigan in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit, Mich., on December 26, a game the Hilltoppers dropped 24-21. Guidry has experience in the role, as the former assistant coach at Miami (Ohio) led the Redhawks to a 35-21 victory over Middle Tennessee as the interim head coach in the 2011 GoDaddy.com Bowl, helping Miami finish off a 10-4 season after going 1-11 the previous year. Miami became the first FBS school to go from double-digit losses to double-digit wins in consecutive seasons. Guidry helped orchestrate a similar turnaround since arriving on the Hill in 2011, helping WKU to back-to-back winning seasons in 2011 and 2012, including the program’s first-ever bowl bid since joining the FBS. His 2012 Hilltopper defense was a force nationally, ranking in the top 40 in seven different national defensive categories. The Guidry-led defense ranked 23rd nationally in total defense (344.42) and 12th in the nation in tackles for loss per game (7.42). 52

His squad also ranked at the top of four defensive categories in the Sun Belt Conference, including total defense, pass defense efficiency (128.4), sacks (31) and first down defense (19.3), while ranking second in rushing defense (136.6), scoring defense (25.6), passing defense (206.2) and interceptions (13). Under Gudiry’s guidance, WKU senior defensive end Quanterus Smith put together a record-breaking 2012 season, accumulating 12.5 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss on his way to being named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Smith’s sack total in 2012 was just one away from setting a single-season Sun Belt Conference record, and his 24.0 career sacks tied the conference record. In two years under Guidry, Smith racked up 20 of his 24 career sacks. Guidry’s defense has shown up in big games, including games against the nation’s elite. In a week two matchup against defending nation champion Alabama, the WKU defense held the Crimson Tide to just 103 yards rushing, which was the team’s lowest output of the 2012 season. The 103 rushing yards were more than 120 yards less than the team’s season average, as Alabama went on to finish the season averaging over 224 yards per game on the ground en route to a BCS National Championship. The Crimson Tide averaged just over three yards per carry against WKU in that game. A 1995 graduate of McNeese, Guidry joined the Miami staff after serving as the defensive secondary coach at McNeese State in 2008. A veteran coach in Louisiana football’s high school ranks, Guidry served as secondary coach at Leesville High School in 1995 and 1996, helping lead the Wampus Cats to the state championship game in 1995. He also coached defensive backs at Carencro (La.) High School for three seasons (1997-99), then returned years later to serve as the Golden Bears’ head coach (2005-07). In between his stints at Carencro, Guidry served as defensive coordinator and coached the secondary at McNeese State (200004). The Cowboys reached the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in four consecutive seasons (2000-03), won three straight Southland Conference championships (2001, 2002, 2003) during that stretch, and lost to WKU in the 2002 FCS National Championship Game. During those years, he helped produce such all-Americans as Joe Judge, Keith Smith and Hadley Prince. Guidry was also a team captain, four-year letterman (1990-93) and all-conference defensive back at McNeese State and was a part of two conference championship teams (1991, 1993). He and his wife, Starlet, have four children: Janzen, Madison, Alexis and Kaitlyn.

Southland Conference
In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welTom Burnett comed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist Commissioner University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston State advanced to the NCAA national championship game. Also, in 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 104 Division I playoff games in 31 years, winning 51 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests. The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship. McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned six trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs. The Southland has produced 168 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level. The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2013 season.
