most time. Ramsay also finished last season with an 11-10 record. He competed at the No. 3 and No. 4 spots for Paul Goebel’s Tigers last season. The Tigers will have a challenging schedule ahead that boasts seven schools that finished the 2009 season ranked among the top 75 teams according to College Tennis Online, included in the bunch are Ole Miss (No. 4), Oklahoma State (No. 25), Tulsa (No. 29), Middle Tennessee (No. 57), Iowa (No. 60), SMU (No. 71) and Mississippi State (No.72). The Tigers’ schedule opens on Jan. 22, 2010, with matches against two of them (Tulsa and Oklahoma State) in Tulsa, Okla. In the fall of 2009, it was also announced that the Racquet Club of Memphis will serve as the home for both the men’s and women’s tennis progams. The Tigers will have full use of a brand new locker room on site, as well as the clubs’ 11 indoor courts and six recently resurfaced outdoor top-of-the-line post-tension hard courts.

The Memphis men’s tennis program is coming off its best season under current head coach Paul Goebel in 2008-09. The Tigers finished the season with a 14-11 mark. Memphis returns eight of 10 players from last season’s squad including two three-year members of the squad in Charlie Ramsay (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Spencer Heflin (Germantown, Tenn.) Michael Hayes (London, England), a transfer from Brunel University, joins Heflin and Ramsay as the elder statesmen for the program. Along with Ramsay and Heflin, the Tiger roster currently boasts five juniors including newcomers John Taylor (Burlington, Ontario), a transfer from Utah, and Michael Janz (Lousanne, Switzerland). Taylor and Janz join Leon Nasemann (Wuppertahl, Germany), Michael Gaerthoeffner (Rheine, Germany) and Jordan Smith (Memphis, Tenn.) as juniors on the 2009-10 squad. Nasemann and Ramsay will most likely hold down the top two spots for the Tigers during the 2009-10 season. Nasemann competed at the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 singles spots in 2009, compiling an overall record of 11-10 among the three positions. Nasemann was 6-5 at the No. 2 spot, where he spent the

Fall Success
The Tigers announced a deal that makes the state-of-the-art Racquet Club of Memphis the new home for both men’s and women’s tennis at the University of Memphis. The club located in East Memphis provides a world class tennis atmosphere where both programs have everything they need at their disposal including refurbished locker rooms, 11 indoor courts and six recently-resurfaced hard courts. The Tigers will also be able to use the facility’s salon area as a player lounge.
The Memphis Tennis netters found a lot of success during the fall season in 2009. At the Steve Baras Memorial Tournament, Jordan Smith and David Henry both captured their respective singles flight championships, while two other Memphis netters (Michael Hayes and Michael Gaerthoeffner) advanced to the finals of their singles flights.
The Racquet Club of Memphis has been the Mid-South’s premier tennis facility since it opened its doors in 1974. The Racquet Club has hosted the Regions Morgan Keegan Championship, an annual stop on the ATP Men’s World Tour each February since 1976. In 2002, the Racquet Club of Memphis also became host to the Cellular South Cup, an ATP Women’s World Tour event, held during the same time as the men’s event.
At the Crimson Tide Invite in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Gaerthoeffner, Leon Nasemann and Spencer Heflin each won championships for the consolation brackets of their respective flights.
SOPHOMORE DAVID HENRY
The Tigers will look to build on their fall success as they prepare for a very tough schedule in the spring season. Memphis will open the season on Jan. 22, with a match against Tulsa and will follow-up with a dual with the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Success In The Classroom
THE RACQUET CLUB OF MEMPHIS
In 2009, the Tigers continued to build on their success in the classroom. Benedikt Fischer, who became the program’s first Academic All-American in 2008, repeated the honor in 2009, earning CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America second team honors. Fischer was also named Academic All-District IV, as well as C-USA All-Academic in 2009. Along with Michael Gaerthoeffner and K.C. Griffin, Fischer was named an ITA Scholar-Athlete in 2009.
Tough Competition
SENIOR CHARLIE RAMSAY
Doubles duo

Leon Nasemann and Charlie Ramsay advanced to the semifinals of the 2009 ITA Ohio Valley Regional in Bloomington, Ind. The Memphis pair won three matches before being eliminated by Tennessee’s Davey Sandgren and John-Patrick Smith, the nation’s No. 1 rated tennis duo according to College Tennis Online.

Memphis Head Coach Paul Goebel Looks to Continue to Guide The Tigers to Success During the 2010 Spring Season Paul Goebel is entering his sixth season as the head coach of the Tiger men’s tennis program; his 10th overall season with the program after spending the four seasons prior to 2004-05 as an assistant coach at Memphis. Goebel has continued to build on the framework left in place by previous head coach Phil Chamberlain, continuing to put together one of the toughest schedules in the country, and adding regional talent to the line-up. Goebel has recruited every member of the Tiger roster to the team, putting together a balanced squad with both local and regional talent, as well as international talent. The 2009-10 Tiger roster will boast five American tennis players and five international players, including two athletes from Germany, one from Canada, one from England and one from Switzerland. Goebel added two newcomers to his roster prior to the start of the season, with the additions of Utah transfer John Taylor and Switzerland-native Michael Janz, both juniors. In 2008-09, Jorge Vazquez, became only the second Memphis Tiger in the program’s history to be named first team All-C-USA joining former Tiger and current Lady Tiger head coach Lee Taylor Walker, who was named to the C-USA All-Decade team in 2005. Vazquez peaked at the No. 51 spot in the College Tennis Online rankings during the 2009 season, after earning wins over four players ranked among the Top 125 tennis players in the nation, two of which were Top 50 players. Vazquez finished the season ranked No. 106 in the country. Off of the court Goebel has continued to produce outstanding performances from his team academically. Senior Benedikt Fischer was named the program’s first-ever ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-American in the spring of 2008 and matched that performance, being named an Academic All-American for the second-consecutive season in 2009. Fischer has teamed with the rest of his Tiger teammates to put up the best overall GPA of any Tiger athletic program over the past few years.

Goebel continues to surround the program with strong support, hiring the program’s firstever first team All-Conference USA honoree, Lee Taylor Walker, as his first assistant coach in 200405, while bringing NCAA Division II All-American Tobias Huning on board as a volunteer assistant coach in 2006-07. In 2008, he brought back another familiar face to Tiger tennis in former U of M tennis player Mark Finnegan as his assistant coach. Finnegan competed for both Goebel and Chamberlain from 2003-04. Finnegan will continue to serve as the lead assistant in 2009-10. The Tigers put up their best season under Goebel’s guidance in 2008-09. Memphis finished with 14 wins, surpassing Goebel’s previous high of 12 wins in his first season as head coach in 2004-05. A native of Hendersonville, N.C., Goebel came to Memphis after a stellar career at Middle Tennessee, where he was part of the school’s first All-America doubles team which earned him a place in the MTSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008. Goebel became the second men’s tennis player to be inducted into the Middle Tennessee Hall of Fame. A member of the MTSU team from 19901994, Goebel served as the team’s captain from 1992-1994 and was a four-time, all-conference player. He was also named the student-athlete of the year in 1994. Following his collegiate playing career, Goebel served as a student assistant coach in 1995 at Middle Tennessee, while also playing professionally. In 1999, Goebel was ranked No. 1 in the nation in the Men’s 25 and Over age group. Goebel moved to Memphis and became a tennis professional at The Racquet Club of Memphis beginning in 1996. At The Racquet Club, Goebel has taught top national and southern-ranked juniors and has coached in a variety of area training centers, zonals and national team events. Goebel and his wife, Shelly, have two sons, Reed and Luke, and a daughter, Isabelle.

“We’re really excited to have Mark back with us for another season. Having an assistant like Mark is invaluable to any program,” head coach Paul Goebel said. “He’s already had a lot of really innovative ideas for the team and he’s a great guy to bring back to be around our guys and our program.” As assistant coach, Finnegan’s main duties are international recruiting, private lessons for the players and overall development of Memphis’ student-athletes. In Finnegan’s first year as assistant coach, the Tigers produced their most successful season under Goebel, finishing with a 14-11 mark. Finnegan also helped coached Jorge Vazquez to All-C-USA first team honors. Coach Finnegan has played a vital role in helping the Memphis tennis program in its transition into their new home at the Racquet Club of Memphis. The facility is currently undergoing a rejuvenation project that has improved the locker room facility and added new outdoor hard courts. Finnegan graduated from Memphis in 2004 with a degree in finance after playing two seasons following his transfer from Georgia Southern. He battled a shoulder injury his first season for the Tigers, but bounced back to post a 28-21 career singles mark in a Tiger uniform. In doubles, Finnegan posted a 12-6 mark with former Tiger assistant coach Alex Jago. Prior to his arrival at the U of M as a player, Finnegan had a successful stint at Georgia Southern where he was honored as the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2002. Finnegan was also named to the All-Southern Conference team and was the team MVP for Georgia Southern. After his graduation and a stint with the University of Memphis women’s tennis team, Finnegan returned to his native Ireland and worked for the National Irish Bank. In January of 2007, he returned to the U.S. and went to work as the Program Director at the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center in Key Biscayne, Fla. There, Finnegan worked with a high performance academy and coached highly ranked juniors in the state of Florida. Finnegan also spent a period of time at the Point Clear Tennis Club with fellow Irish touring pro Joseph O’Dwyer. While at Point Clear, Finnegan coached several players who were highly ranked in the state of Alabama, many of whom now compete collegiately around the country.
Former Memphis men’s tennis player Michael Jetter joins the staff this season as a volunteer assistant coach for the Tigers, joining Mark Finnegan as former Tiger tennis players serving as assistants for their former coach Paul Goebel. “We are excited to add another former player in Michael Jetter to the coaching staff for the 2010 season,” Goebel said. “Having people around who know what it takes to be a collegiate tennis player at the University of Memphis is instrumental in helping take this program to the next level.” Jetter, a member of the Memphis men’s tennis team for the 2005-06 season, compiled a record of 6-12 in singles during his one year as a Tiger. Jetter competed at the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 position for the U of M. In doubles, Jetter teamed with Garrison Pilant to go 9-6 in doubles, the second-best win total of any Tiger doubles team for the 2006-06 season. In his only fall for the Tigers, Jetter had the most success of any member of the Memphis roster, going 8-4. He advanced to the finals of the Middle Tennessee State Fall Invitational. Pilant and Jetter also advanced to the finals of the doubles bracket at the MTSU Fall Invite. Jetter is originally from Neuenberg, Germany. He is the son of Gundi and Karl-Eugen Jetter. He was the first Tiger signee from Germany, paving the way for talented tennis players such as Benedikt Fischer, Michael Gaerthoeffner and Leon Nasemann. Jetter is currently in pursuit of his master’s degree in economics from the University of Memphis.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to be a role model for these young men like many coaches and older players were to me during my collegiate tennis years,” said Finnegan. “There are not many opportunities to coach college athletics and I am excited that this one was presented to me. The chance to work with coach Goebel, who coached me, is one that I couldn’t pass up. There is not a coach who cares more for his players out there.” Finnegan married his wife, Molly, in May of 2008. The couple currently resides in Memphis.

2010 women’s tennis preview Home of the Lady Tigers Facing the BEst
The Lady Tigers announced a deal that makes the state-of-the-art Racquet Club of Memphis the new home for both men’s and women’s tennis at the University of Memphis. The club located in East Memphis provides a world class tennis atmosphere where both programs have everything they need at their disposal including refurbished locker rooms, 11 indoor courts and six recently-resurfaced hard courts. The Tigers will also be able to use the facility’s salon area as a player lounge. The Racquet Club of Memphis has been the Mid-South’s premier tennis facility since it opened its doors in 1974. The Racquet Club has hosted the Regions Morgan Keegan Championship, an annual stop on the ATP Men’s World Tour each February since 1976. In 2002, the Racquet Club of Memphis also became host to the Cellular South Cup, an ATP Women’s World Tour event, held during the same time as the men’s event.

Boston College, USF, Oklahoma, Arizona and Richmond were all ranked at some point during the 2009 season but not at the conclusion of the season.

Lee and Erin Walker Lee Taylor Walker is set to enter his third season as head coach of the University of Memphis women’s tennis program in 2009-10. Walker is very familiar with not only Memphis and the surrounding tennis community, but also with what it means to be a Memphis studentathlete, as he was a standout singles and doubles player for the men’s team from 2001-2004. Walker spent three seasons as an assistant coach with the men’s tennis team and spent the 2006-07 season as an assistant for the Lady Tiger team, prior to being named the head coach of the women’s team in 2007. Walker led the Lady Tigers to their best win total since the 2003-04 season, amassing 11 wins during the 2009 spring slate. In 2010, the U of M looks to better its 2008-09 win total as they welcome back a talented group of four seniors to the fold for 2009-10. The group is led by back-to-back Conference USA second team selection Ashley Murdock. Murdock is only the third back-to back all-conference selection in the program’s history. The Lady Tigers will take on a loaded schedule during the 2010 spring season that includes seven teams that finished the 2009 season ranked among the top 75 teams in the nation according to College Tennis Online. Led by defending National Champion Duke, the others include No. 15 Arkansas, No. 31 Arizona State, No. 36 Tulsa, No. 37 Ohio State, No. 49 William & Mary, No. 50 Yale and No. 75 Missouri. The Lady Tigers’ schedule also includes six teams that were ranked at some point during the 2009 spring season (Boston College, Missouri, South Florida, Oklahoma, Arizona and Richmond). Walker, added another talented recruiting class for 2009-10, led by Courtney Collins, rated the No. 1 recruit in the state of Mississippi and the 49th-best recruit in the country by tennisrecruiting.net. Collins is joined by Tennessee-native Kelly Gray, ranked the 41st-best player in the Southeast region and Andrea Arques-Garcia, considered the No. 90 women’s tennis player in all of Spain prior to enrolling at Memphis. In 2008-09, Walker’s second season at the helm of the Memphis women’s tennis program, the Tigers went 11-13, including wins over conference foes Southern Miss and UAB. In his first season as head coach, Walker led the Lady Tigers to a 9-13 mark. In the fall of 2008, Walker coached Murdock and Marjorie Ondeck to the semifinals of the 2008 ITA Southeast Regional in Winston-Salem, N.C. Murdock and Ondeck defeated doubles tandems from No. 13 Clemson, No. 17 North Carolina and No.

25 Tennessee on their way to the semifinals. Walker, a native of Jackson, Tenn., played for Memphis from 2001-04, teaming with Ben Stapp in his first season as a Tiger to become the highest-ranked doubles tandem in school history, ranking No. 12 in the country at the end of the fall 2001 season. Walker was also a nationally-ranked singles player at Memphis ranking as high as No. 48 in the country. He won 54 singles matches playing primarily at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles during his three-year Tiger career, and was 64-29 in doubles. He was the school’s first-ever Conference USA first-team honoree and was named to the Conference USA Men’s Tennis All-Decade Team. “We are pleased to have a coach with the credentials of Lee Taylor Walker take over for Coach Peterson,” said Memphis Athletic Director R.C. Johnson. “He has proven himself both as a player and student-athlete for the University of Memphis and we could not have been more pleased with his efforts as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s tennis teams over the past year. I’m sure he will carry on the fine tradition that is Tiger tennis.” Off the court, Walker was named the recipient of the 2004 ITA/Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship and Leadership award, which he received as part of U.S. Open Festivities. Walker, a graduate of University School in Jackson, Tenn., received the ITA award after a stellar playing career and a long list of off-the-court accomplishments. Walker helped to re-form the Fellowship of Christian Athles chapter at the University of Memphis, and coordinated visits to Streets Ministries and St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Walker currently works with Campus Outreach, a ministry on the U of M campus, as the faculty/staff representative. Campus Outreach focuses on developing students’ spiritual lives. Walker came to the Tigers following one year at Clemson University. There, he was named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll. At Memphis, Walker was a twotime ITA Scholar Athlete. He received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Memphis, graduating in December of 2006 with a master’s degree in human movement sciences. Walker is married to former Lady Tiger soccer player Erin May Ferris. They married in May of 2007. He has one brother, Matt, who was an assistant coach for the Lady Tigers during the 2008-09 season. Walker is the son of Dr. Danny Walker and Susie Walker. Walker’s father was a quarterback at Vanderbilt and UT Martin.

Former Tiger men’s player Mark Finnegan will handle assistant duties for both men’s and women’s programs during the 2010 spring dual season. Finnegan previously served as an assistant coach for former women’s tennis coach Charlotte Peterson following the conclusion of his Tiger playing career in 2004-05. “We’re really excited for Mark to come over and help out the women’s program this spring,” said Memphis head coach Lee Taylor Walker. “He has done a great job with the men’s program in the last year-and-a-half and we are excited about the effect he will undoubtedly have on our program.” As assistant coach, Finnegan’s main duties are international recruiting, private lessons for the players and overall development of Memphis’ student-athletes. In Finnegan’s first year as assistant coach for the men’s program, the Tigers produced their most succesful season under current head coach Paul Goebel, finishing with a 14-11 mark. In his role as assistant coach, Finnegan also helped coached Jorge Vazquez to All-C-USA first team honors. Coach Finnegan has played a vital role in helping the Memphis tennis program in its transition into their new home at the Racquet Club of Memphis. The facility is currently undergoing a rejuvenation project that has improved the locker room facility and added new outdoor hard courts. Finnegan graduated from Memphis in 2004 with a degree in finance after playing two seasons for the Tigers after transferring from Georgia Southern. He battled a shoulder injury his first season for the Tigers, but bounced back to post a 28-21 career singles mark in a Tiger uniform. In doubles, Finnegan posted a 12-6 mark with former Tiger assistant coach Alex Jago.
Taylor H. Taylor, a former women’s tennis player at the University of Virginia, joins the staff for the 2009-10 season as a volunteer assistant coach. “We are excited to add a coach with the experience of Taylor to the staff for the 2010 season,” Walker said. “With her experience competing at a high collegiate level, I think she can be instrumental in helping our players as we try to take this program to the next level.” Taylor, a graduate of St. Mary’s School in Memphis, went on to a very successful playing career for the Cavaliers at Virginia, where she was team MVP (1992), team captain (1993-94) and an All-ACC performer (1993-94). Taylor has served as a tennis professional at the Racquet Club of Memphis since January of 2009. She has also been the head varsity tennis coach at St. Mary’s School in Memphis since May 2003. Previously, Taylor served as a tennis professional at the University Club in Memphis from 1994-2004 and was the Director of Junior Tennis at the University Club from 1995-2002. Taylor earned her master’s degree from the University of Tennessee’s School of Social Work.
Prior to his arrival at the U of M as a player, Finnegan had a succesful stint at Georgia Southern where he was honored as the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2002. Finnegan was also named to the All-Southern Conference team and was the team MVP for Georgia Southern.

After his graduation and a stint with the University of Memphis women’s tennis team, Finnegan returned to his native Ireland and worked for the National Irish Bank. In Jan., 2007, he returned to the U.S. and went to work as the Program Director at the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center in Key Biscayne, Fla.

The Memphis Lady Tigers finished the 2008-09 season with their best record since the 2003-04 season when Memphis finished the season with a mark of 11 wins and 13 losses. In two seasons under current head coach Lee Taylor Walker, the Lady Tigers have amassed a total of 19 wins and 26 losses, the 19 wins is 10 more wins than the U of M picked up in the two seasons preceeding Lee Taylor Walker’s arrival as head coach. Ashley Murdock led the U of M singles and doubles attack during the 2009 spring dual season, accumulating a 14-8 singles record, including a 9-7 mark at the No. 1 position. In doubles, Murdock finished the season with 16 wins, including a 14-6 mark at the No. 1 slot. Murdock earned All-C-USA accolades for the second-consecutive season after transferring to Memphis from LSU prior to the spring of 2008. The 2009 spring dual season began with a challenging test in the form of No. 6 Georgia, a traditional national power in women’s tennis. The Tigers lost the match, 7-0, but got an impressive performance at No. 2 singles from Marjorie Ondeck. Ondeck took 100th-ranked singles netter Yvette Hyndman to three sets before ultimately falling in the third set tie-breaker. Following their trip to Athens, Ga., the Lady Tigers returned home where they picked up two victories at the Wellworx Sporting Club in Memphis over Lipscomb and UT Martin. Over the next month, the Lady Tigers hit the road for nine-straight away matches, beginning with a trip to Birmingham, Ala. Memphis came away with two victories over UAB and Samford, two programs that the Lady Tigers have had trouble with over the past several seasons. Following a successful trip to Birmingham, Memphis embarked to Dallas, Texas, where they went 1-2, defeating Stephen F. Austin but falling to UT-Arlington and SMU, who would finish the season ranked in the top 30. After returning from Dallas, the Lady Tigers took to Starkville, Miss., where they fell 6-1 to the Lady Bulldogs. Memphis then traveled to Houston, Texas, for a C-USA battle with the Lady Cougars. The Tigers fell, 5-2. Memphis finished up their road stand with losses to ranked SEC foes Arkansas and Ole Miss. After going 3-5 on a tough eight-game run of road matches, the Lady Tigers returned home where they picked up victories over Austin Peay, Murray State and Southeast Missouri State. During spring break, Memphis traveled to Los Angeles, Calif., for three matches. The Lady Tigers finished the road trip 0-3, with losses to Cal Poly, Cal State Northridge and Loyola Marymount. Memphis just barely fell to Loyola Marymount, 4-3. The Lady Tigers returned home for their final two home matches of the season against Southern Miss and Arkansas State. Coach Walker’s netters finished the weekend with a 1-1 mark, defeating Southern Miss, but falling to the Red Wolves of Arkansas State. Memphis finished the regular season with two tough road matches against Middle Tennessee and Tulane. The Lady Tigers went 1-1, picking up a win over Middle Tennessee, but falling to C-USA foe Tulane. Memphis’ season ended with a 4-1 loss to UTEP in the Conference USA tournament. The Lady Tigers have a lot to look forward to in 2009-10 with four seniors returning, supplemented by a very talented class of newcomers led by Courtney Collins, the top player from the state of Mississippi coming out of Itawamba Agricultural High School.

or almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception as a normal school dedicated to the education of public school teachers, to its role today as an educator of technologically-savvy graduates who face a complex world, the University of Memphis has always fulfilled its current mission while looking forward to and planning for its future. Exceptional students from Tennessee, from every other state in the nation and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major professors at European universities; they come here to study subjects that are offered nowhere else; they come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scientific communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the faculty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefactors, our “people assets” have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a life-long impact on the young minds at the U of M.

C. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U of M Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 13 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last six years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2009, a record-setting $7 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last six years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 14 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed back-to-back-to-back league championships in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that is currently underway, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 37 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative longterm contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. Last fall, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2008 and spring 2009, 335 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 12 had a 4.0 for the year and 20 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. Nine teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and for the last four straight semesters, the athletic department as a whole has maintained a 2.8 GPA . In May 2008, 44 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. Johnson came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Temple from 1994-1995. A long-time administrator, Johnson also served as an athletic director at Miami University (19881994) and Eastern Illinois (1980-88), and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. An native of Ottawa, Ill., Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

n March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State University. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two (which is now four) special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newlyrenovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20 tutors, two academic interns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance/ certification. The academic services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. Further detail about the services and programs offered by CAAS are found on the website, http://www.memphis.edu/caas/index. php. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last seven academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, the department semester GPA record has been set, and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious national academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. Ultimately, the goal of every student-athlete is to graduate. CAAS has continued to set records here as well as 44 student-athletes graduated in May, 2009, encompassing the largest-ever graduation group for the athletics department. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 23 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned gradepoint averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the student-athlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

onsidered 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 MidAmerica. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320seat 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 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-square-foot 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. 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. Also 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. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. 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. 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.

hen 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 Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. 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 to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 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, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year. 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 August 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 November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against the UCF.
