COWBOYS IN VARIOUS HALLS OF FAME McNeese football has a long standing tradition of not only winning, but winning with top-caliber athletes. Two members of the Cowboy football family have been inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, most recently, Buford Jordan in 2011. McNeese head coach and administrator Jack Doland was inducted in 2002. In 2012, two more members of the Cowboy tradition were inducted into prestigious halls of fame - former Cowboy tight end R.C. Slocum in the College Football Hall of Fame and quarterback Kerry Joseph in the Southland Conference Hall of Honor. In 2011, former athletic director Sonny Watkins was enshrined into the Southland Hall. There are also 59 football players, coaches and administrators that have been inducted into the McNeese Hall of Fame. In all, there are 26 members of the McNeese athletic family to hold their place in 11 different Halls of Fame, not including the 130 members of the McNeese Hall of Fame.

COWBOY STADIUM The 2014 season will mark the 50th anniversary of Cowboy Stadium, one of the most feared places to play for opponents. 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 49-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 188 wins at home in the history of Cowboy Stadium and has posted at .691 (188-85-5) home field winning percentage. The Cowboys have 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 62-19 (.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 in June of 2012 after serving 46 years as the school’s first and only Sports Information Director. A native of Pineville and graduate of Louisiana Tech, Bonnette 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.
Pictured with Robert Noland (second from the right) are McNeese Athletic Director Tommy McClelland, Louis Bonnette and former McNeese President Dr. Robert Hebert.

GUIDRY McNeese, 1995
Assistant Head Coach Defensive Coordinator (DB) 8th year, 2nd since 2008
Lance Guidry brought back the D.W.A. (Defense With Attitude) when he was named defensive coordinator in the spring of 2013. A native of Welsh, Guidry is also the assistant head coach and coaches the defensive backs. This is 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 schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive coordinator from 2000-04, and in 2008, coached the defensive backs. In his eight combined years previously on the McNeese coaching staff, the Cowboys have compiled a 70-29 record, including a 37-12 mark in Southland Conference games. McNeese won three conference championships during that span, made six FCS playoff appearances, and played in the 2002 FCS National Championship game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was real excited when Matt (Viator) called to talk about me coming back,â&#x20AC;? said Guidry on his return to McNeese. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My loyalty is to Coach Viator and to McNeese. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like when momma calls you to come back home, you go.â&#x20AC;? In 2013, Guidry led a defensive unit that saw six players earn allconference honors and two more named to the all-Louisiana team. The DWA ranked third in the league with 13 pass interceptions and was second with three of those picks returned for touchdowns. The unitl also posted 21 take-aways on the year. Guidry served as defensive coordinator at Western Kentucky in 2011 and 2012 and was named interim head coach on December 8 of 2012 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. He coached three players while at WKU - DE Quanterous Smith, LB Andrew Jackson and S Jonathan Dowling - that went on to be selected in the NFL Draft. Guidry has experience in the role as a head coach, 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 %RZO KHOSLQJ 0LDPL ÂżQLVK RII D VHDVRQ DIWHU JRLQJ WKH SUHYLRXV \HDU 0LDPL EHFDPH WKH ÂżUVW )%6 VFKRRO WR JR IURP GRXEOH GLJLW ORVVHV WR double-digit wins in consecutive seasons.

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. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Guidryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense has shown up in big games, including games against the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest output of the 2012 season. The 103 rushing yards were more than 120 yards less than the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season average, as $ODEDPD ZHQW RQ WR ÂżQLVK WKH VHDVRQ DYHUDJLQJ RYHU \DUGV SHU JDPH 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 footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach (2005-07). In between his stints at Carencro, Guidry served as defensive coordinator and coached the secondary at McNeese State (2000-04). 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, and one grandson, Ethan.

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE
Tom Burnett Commissioner
Now in its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a m model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the acade demic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference ha has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member unive versities in three 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 pr proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed fo four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist Unive versity, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Or Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland 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 from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW 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 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). 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 six 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 Toyota 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 2013, three Southland teams – Southeastern Louisiana, McNeese State and Sam Houston State – all qualified for the NCAA Division I Football Championship, and in 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston advanced to the 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 109 Division I playoff games in 32 years, winning 53 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 1964, 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 and 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. McNeese State, which has made 15 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. Sam Houston State has earned seven trips to the football, while Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On five occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

2 Division I National Title Appearances (1997 & 2002) • 15Division I Playoff Appearances • 13 SLC Championships
SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE HALL OF HONOR
Former coach Bobby Keasler inducted into Southland Conference Hall of Honor Bobby Keasler, McNeese’s all-time winningest football coach, became the seventh McNeese Cowboy to be inducted into the Southland Hall of Honor when he was formally introduced in May. Keasler, who compiled a 78-34-2 all-time record in nine seasons at McNeese, including a 43-13-2 mark in conference games, won four league championships (1991, 1993, 1995, 1997), made seven 1-AA playoff appearances, and is still the only head football coach in conference history to win Coach of the Year honors a total of five times. From 1990-98 Keasler, who last fall was named the league’s 1990s Coach of the Decade, coached his teams to eight 1-AA playoff wins, including guiding the Cowboys to the 1997 1-AA National Championship game where McNeese lost 10-9 to a Jim Tressell coached Youngstown State squad. His 1995 team completed the regular season with a perfect 11-0 record and ranked No. 1 in the nation throughout the regular season. That team’s season would come to an end in the semi-final round of the playoffs when the Cowboys fell to Marshall, who was quarterbacked by a young Chad Pennington. A native of New Iberia, Keasler was named the Louisiana coach of the year three times. He coached 53 first-team All-Southland players and 16 first-team All-Americans. He coached seven Southland players of the year and four Southland rookies of the year. He compiled an 8-7 record in the FCS playoffs and in four of his nine seasons as head coach, the Cowboys won 10 or more games. His teams averaged 8.7 wins per season. Keasler, who also served the university as director of athletics, was inducted into the McNeese Sports Hall of Fame in 2006. He became the seventh McNeese individual to be inducted into the Southland Hall of Honor, joining his former quarterback Kerry Joseph who was inducted in 2012. Other McNeese personnel in the hall of honor includes Moe O’Brien (1999), Louis Bonnette and Bob Hayes (both in 2007), Joe Dumars (2009), and Sonny Watkins (2011).

2 Division I National Title Appearances (1997 & 2002) • 15Division I Playoff Appearances • 13 SLC Championships
2013 SEASON REVIEW The 2013 football season for McNeese State was one for the record books. McNeese qualified for its Southland Conference record 15th FCS Playoffs and received a first round bye. The Cowboys won 10 games in the regular season for the eighth time in school history and second time under head coach Matt Viator. The Pokes defeated an FBS opponent (South Florida) for the second time in as many seasons and did so in dominating fashion by way of a 53-21 score. With that, McNeese set an FCS record for most points scored against an FBS-BCS opponent as well as setting a record for widest margin of victory by an FCS team over an FBS-BCS automatic qualifier. In addition to those records, McNeese set or tied 25 other school or conference records (single game, season, career).
