At h l e t i c S D i r e c t o r - T O M B O W E N Tom Bowen took over as the University of Memphis Director of Athletics in June of 2012, and in his short time leading the department, has the Tigers roaring into a new and exciting era. Bowen began his tenure with an athletics program poised to make a league move from Conference USA to the Big East. Despite the conference realignment carousel continuing to rotate nearly halfway into his first year, Bowen’s steady leadership helped Memphis become a charter member of The American Athletic Conference, which began its inaugural year July 1, 2013. The Memphis athletics leader played an integral role in the formation of The American Athletic Conference and was instrumental in bringing the league’s first men’s basketball tournament to the Bluff City in March of 2014. In addition to guiding Memphis through the conference move, Bowen placed his stamp on Tigers athletics. One of his first missions was to evaluate and restructure the athletics department. Bowen developed a strategic plan to increase the athletic department’s fundraising efforts. Under his direction, the Elma Roane Fieldhouse -- home to Memphis women’s basketball and volleyball -- improvements were completed with a state-of-the-art weight room, a four-lane training track, an elevated cardio platform, a players’ lounge and an enlarged training room with Grimm Tubs-hydroponic pools for injury rehabilitation. In November of 2012, Bowen secured a multi-million dollar gift from the Helen and Jabie Hardin Charitable Trust to support women’s athletics. The first phase of the generous gift was the design and construction of a new track and field complex on the University’s Park Avenue campus. As part of the Hardin Charitable Trust gift, the second phase includes a clubhouse for the Tigers’ softball program. The new softball clubhouse plans include coaches’ offices, meeting and recruiting rooms, indoor pitching and batting areas, an athletic training room, equipment room and laundry room. In December of 2013, Interim President Brad Martin and Tom Bowen announced that alumni Bill and Nancy Laurie had made a gift of $10 million to the capital campaign for athletic facilities. This is the single largest philanthropic gift in the history of the athletic department, and the second-largest gift in the history of the University of Memphis. By securing the $10 million lead gift, the athletic department leadership reached a significant benchmark in a capital campaign goal of $40 million, less than 120 days after the plan was unveiled by President Martin. The capital campaign calls for a new men’s basketball practice and training facility and an indoor football practice complex. It will additionally fund comprehensive upgrades and renovations to existing facilities including FedExPark and the Hardin Family Sports Complex. Bowen’s respect from his colleagues along with his experience and knowledge of football were pivotal in landing him a position on the College Football Playoff organization’s Athletic Directors Advisory Council in early 2014. Previously he served on the Athletic Directors Advisory Board of the BCS in 2013. In July, 2014, Bowen’s colleagues in the American Athletic Conference voted him to represent the league on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council. In the competition arena, Bowen’s first two years have been rather successful. The Memphis men’s basketball team advanced to the NCAA Tournament third round each of the last

two years. The 2012-13 season saw the Tigers post the sixth, 30-win season in school history as well as sweep the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. The 2013-14 squad finished in a threeway tie for third place in the ultra-competitive new American Athletic Conference including two wins over defending national champion Louisville. The 2013-14 season also saw the basketball program rank in the top-10 in home attendance in NCAA Division I basketball for the fifth time in the last seven years. Under Bowen’s administration, the groundwork for the future of the Tiger football program has been laid and it is well apparent the program is heading in the right direction with major strides made over the last two seasons. Other athletic programs have enjoyed unprecedented success during Bowen’s tenure heading the department. The rifle team posted a third-place finish in small bore at the NCAA National Championship in 2014, the best finish in program history. In 2014, men’s tennis advanced to the NCAA Championships for a third-consecutive year. In 2013, the Tigers won their first NCAA Regional with an upset over Ole Miss and advanced to the program’s first NCAA Championships Sweet Sixteen. The women’s tennis team also made history with its first NCAA Championships appearance as a team in 2013. The men’s golf squad earned an NCAA Regional berth for a fourth-straight year in 2014. During Bowen’s two-year tenure, the Memphis track and field squads have sent 14 student-athletes to the NCAA Outdoor Championships, with eight earning All-America honors. In the classroom, Memphis continued its strong performance in Bowen’s first two years. For 2014, all 19 Memphis athletics programs had APRs of 940 or higher, and the Tigers’ department-wide, four-year average (2009-10 through 2012-13) was 979. Four programs again earned NCAA Public Recognition for APR – baseball, men’s basketball, women’s golf and women’s tennis. Of the school’s 375 student-athletes, 56 percent earned a grade point average of 3.0 or higher for the 2014 spring semester, including 31 percent that earned a 3.5 or higher GPA and institutional Dean’s List honors. Memphis’ cumulative student-athlete GPA was 3.06 and the school’s freshman student-athlete GPA was 3.04.

Memphis closed out the 2013-14 academic year by having ten student-athletes recognized at the spring honors ceremony. Prior to taking his current post, Bowen served as the athletics director at San Jose State University from 2004-12. While at San Jose State, the core of Bowen’s mission was building a “Culture of Champions” academically, athletically and in the community. He led the Spartan Foundation, the department’s fundraising component, through consistently challenging and uncertain economic conditions to unprecedented fiscal heights. The Spartans produced annual budget surpluses four-straight years and re-invested their gains back into their student-athletes and teams. Bowen’s proven administrative and managerial record at San Jose State resulted in national appointments in college athletics. He served as one of eight Football Bowl Subdivision directors of athletics on the 24-member NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, an appointment that ended in 2011. In 2009, Bowen was one of 12 named to serve as a mentor to aspiring women and ethnic minority athletics administrators in the NCAA Fellows Leadership Program. He was the Tournament Director for the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Division I Championship first and second rounds games played in San Jose. Bowen joined the staff at San Jose State after serving three years as the Director of Community Affairs and the executive director of the 49ers Foundation for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League. His Division I experience at the collegiate level includes athletics administration positions at the University of California and Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif. The 1983 graduate of the University of Notre Dame majored in theology/sociology and spent time studying for the priesthood with the Holy Cross Fathers. Bowen went on to earn a master’s degree in administration/education from the University of San Francisco in 1990. He is a Level 2 certified member of the College Athletic Business Management Association (CABMA) and has memberships in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and the Association of Fundraising Professionals. He and his wife, Mia, are the parents of three children: sons, Andrew and Peter, and daughter, McKenna.

City of Memphis Considered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, has big city amenities with a small-town feel. Whether you are a hardcore sports enthusiast, a history buff, a music aficionado, or you just like to relax and watch as boats travel the Mississippi River, Memphis has something for everyone. Downtown Memphis has continued to grow and thrive, and two of the most visible projects have been the construction of AutoZone Park and FedExForum. AutoZone Park is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The Memphis Tigers baseball team also plays some of its more high-profile opponents in the top-notch facility. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-squarefoot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor “Boss” Crump called “Boss Crump Blues” and later published as the “The Memphis Blues.” The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis, and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival, which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T.

goTigersgo.com

and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. The Stax Museum reopened on its original location at McLemore and Crump in the summer of 2003 and offers visitors a complete history of “Soulsville USA.” One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most-visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. Also located downtown is the beautiful Orpheum Theater, which serves as a venue for performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling Broadway shows, as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day. Ranked by The Sporting News as one of the “Top 50 Sports Cities In the Country,” the city of Memphis is a large metropolitan city with a hometown feel. From its big-city industry such as FedEx and the Memphis International Airport to its family recreation areas such as Shelby Farms and the Memphis Zoo, the city boasts all the amenities one would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town.

Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born Aug. 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on Nov. 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on Nov. 22 during a football game against the UCF.

History

to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on Nov. 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Ala. TOM II served his university with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on Oct. 15 of that year.

2013-14 Review

When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But, it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tigers nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. For over 40 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis has been a Bengal Tiger named TOM. TOM attends all Tigers football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year. TOM travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer and always with a sheriff patrol escort. As one of only two universities in America with a live tiger mascot, The University of Memphis is unique in its tiger tradition. As a project of the Highland Hundred, no public or University funds are used to provide for TOM’s needs, and no University resources are required in his care. TOM is a powerful and majestic symbol of the University of Memphis, and his presence presents constant opportunities to educate Tigers fans young and old through the preservation of one of the world’s most recognizable endangered species. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred football boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM

Air Rifle A gun that uses a .177 caliber lead pellet propelled by compressed air instead of a gunpowder charge. The rifles can weigh up to 12.12 pounds. Bull Short for bull’s-eye. There are 12 bulls per target, 10 for competition and two for sighting shots. The 10 ring is actually a dot in the center of the bull’seye. In smallbore, the 10 dot is slightly larger than a pin head, but must be completely gone to score 10 points. In air rifle the 10 dot is slightly larger than the period at the end of this sentence. Cleaned A perfect target, in which the shooter hits a 10 on each of the 10 targets on the sheet for a score of 100. Can also be used to refer to a perfect match. Front Sight The sight attached to the end of the barrel of the rifle, holding the front aperture. Full Course In smallbore, a full course consists of 120 record shots, 40 in each position, fired in the following order: prone, standing, kneeling.

History

2013-14 Review

Half Course In smallbore, a half course consists of 60 shots, 20 in each position (prone, standing and kneeling). Electronic Targets A target system that uses microphones and sound waves from the bullet or pellet going through the paper to send to a monitor on each point. Iron Sights Sights that employ no magnification. Kneeling Shooting from a kneeling position with a sling and kneeling roll to support the position. O ff H a n d The unsupported standing position. P e r f e c t M at c h S c o r e In air rifle and smallbore, 600 is perfect.

R a n g e O ff i c e r The person in charge of timing the match and “running the line,” which includes assisting shooters who are having difficulties and enforcing rules governing the match. Record Shots Also known as “shots for record,” those shots that are counted toward the match score, with “sighters” not included. R e l ay One group of shooters firing the match at the same time. Shooting Glove A padded glove, with or without fingers, used to ensure the comfort of the nondominant hand (i.e., a right-handed shooter wears a glove on the left hand) as the shooter supports the rifle. Shooting Jacket The jacket is made of leather or canvas and provides support and pads the shooter to minimize the effect of pulse and recoil. There are strict guidelines regarding the thickness. Shooting Boots Boots designed for rifle shooting. They have the toe end of the sole and the heel cut flat for stability. Shooting Troucers Snug canvas and/or leather pants usually worn over running tights or sweatpants. They often have padded reinforcements sewn on both knees and the seat to prevent the slipping of elbows and knees when firing from the kneeling position. Sighting Shots Practice shots taken before going “for record.” Sighting shots are unlimited and may be fired before the beginning of each position. Once a position’s first record shot has been fired, no further sighting shots are permitted.

Smallbore A .22 caliber gun with an iron sight used in competition. It can be customized with special accessories and/or alterations (barrel length and style, stock, design, etc.) to fit the shooter’s needs and comforts.

Prone Shooting from a lying position.

Tie Breaking In NCAA competition, ties are broken as follows: 1) by the highest score in the last 10 shots; 2) by the highest number of 10s, 9s and 8s; or 3) by the highest number of inner 10s. When shooting other smallbore

P e r f e c t M at c h S c o r e A perfect match score of 600 is the maximum for smallbore.

Sling Adjustable strap with buckle adjustments and arm cuffs that provide stability. A sling is attached to the rifle and helps to support it in prone and kneeling positions.

Plug A metal device used to score targets. Variations include the “inward plug” and “outward plug.” With the inward plug, the score is determined by the contact point of the outside edge of the plug with the inside of the next highest scoring ring. With an outward plug, the score is determined by the contact point of the outer edge of the plug with the inside of the next lowest scoring ring.
