The U n iversity of M ontana

Main Hall he University of Montana was the state’s first college. Chartered on February! 7,1893, the school opened its doors to its first 50 students in what is now called University Hall. More than 100 years later, The University of Montana is the center of liberal arts education and research in the state. The school has gone through numerous changes over the years. In 1913 the school was renamed the State University of Montana, and in 1935, it was renamed Montana State University. It wasn’t until 1965 that the institution recaptured its original name, The University of Mon tana. In 1988 Western Montana College in Dillon became part of UM, and in 1994, the Montana Board of Regents approved a restructuring plan to create two universities within the Montana University System. Today The University of Montana encompasses four other campuses: Western Montana College in Dillon, Montana Tech in Butte, Helena Col lege of Technology in Helena, and The University of Montana College of Technology in Missoula. The University of Montana provides a high-quality, well-rounded edu cation to students and a wide range of services to Montanans. UM is a major source of research, continuing education, economic develop ment, fine arts and entertainment, and serves as a driving force in strength ening Montana’s ties with countries throughout the world. UM’s Missoula campus is comprised of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School, the Davidson Honors College, the Col lege of Technology, and seven professional schools: business adminis tration, education, fine arts, forestry, journalism, law, and pharmacy and allied health sciences. The University of Montana also has an excellent physical therapy department and offers two-year programs in business, trades and industry, and technical and health occupations. UM continues to grow with 12,208 students. The student body is 52 percent female and 48 percent male. Last year Montana enrolled 215 foreign students from 60 countries. Located at the base of Mount Sentinel and on the bank of the Clark Fork River, the 200-acre campus is one of the most beautiful in the nation. Campus life offers a variety of choices for the UM student. Dormi tory living provides nine halls with various options on campus. Elrod Hall

The University of M ontana

is the male dorm; Turner Hall is the female dorm; and Aber, Craig, Duniway, Jesse, Miller, and Knowles halls are co-ed. Pantzer Hall, which provides four-person suites, was completed in 1995. Family housing can be found just three blocks south of the main campus in University Village and Toole Village. Students interested in the Greek life have four sororities and 17 fraternities from which to choose. The University of Montana has a nine-hole golf course, located just south of the main campus. The Grizzly Pool is a seven-lane, 25-yard indoor swimming pool which features numerous classes and programs. The recreation annex, adjacent to the Adams Center, is undergoing a major renovation beginning in the summer of 2000. When finished in the fall of 2001, it will provide students with three levels of state-of-the-art exercise equipment, racquetball, handball and basketball courts, and a two-story glass enclosed climbing wall, “the wall with a view.” The Outdoor Program provides opportunities for the campus com munity to participate in recreational activities such as rafting, kayaking, climbing, hiking, backpacking and skiing. UM owns and operates Lubrecht Experimental Forest, a 28,000acre teaching and research forest. Located approximately 30 miles north east of Missoula, Lubrecht Forest provides the opportunity for students to learn tree thinning and harvesting techniques in addition to forest and ecological projects. The Flathead Lake Biological Station, located at Yellow Bay on the east side of the lake, is a year-round research facility and academic center for the ecological sciences. The freshwater research laboratory encompasses 80 acres. UM ranks fourth among U.S. public universities with 28 Rhodes Scholars. UM also has had 37 International Fulbright Scholars, eight Truman Scholars and five Goldwater Scholars. Journalism graduates have won seven Pulitzer Prizes, and journalism student Bruce Ely won the national photojournalism championship in the Hearst Journalism Awards Program in 1998. The University was listed among the top 50 universities and colleges in the nation for Peace Corps recruiting, was named one of the nation’s best paddling colleges in Paddler magazine and is profiled in America’s 100 Best College Buys and Barron’s Best Buys in College Education.

G riz z ly A d m in istratio n President George Dennison ||p jfc e n n is o n , the 16th president of The University of Montana, begins his second decade at the University. He served on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors from 1997-2000, and chaired the Big Sky Conference Presidents’ Council in 1992-93. Dennison came to Montana from Kalamazoo, Mich., where he served as the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs of Western Michi gan University from 1987-90. In earlier years, he spent time at the Univer sities of Arkansas and Washington prior to 18 years at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. At Colorado State, he started as a history professor then served in numerous other positions. He simultaneously held the positions of As sociate Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences and Associate Dean of the Graduate School for International Develop ment Studies. He also served as Acting Academic Vice President, Asso ciate Academic Vice President, and Director of Admissions and Records. An historian by training, Dennison received his Bachelor's degree with high honors in history from UM in 1962. He received his Master’s degree from UM in 1963, then earned his Ph.D. in history from the University of Washington in 1967. He has written numerous publications and made

Athletic Director Wayne Hogan npfecedented growth and expansion have been the hallmarks of Athletic Director Wayne Hogan’s tenure at The University of Montana. Serving as UM’s 14thdirector of athletics, Hogan begins his sixth year with the Grizzlies in the fall of 2000. The success of the Montana program comes as no surprise to those who have followed Hogan's 23 years in the field of intercollegiate athletics. In his association with three collegiate pro grams, the 44-year-old Hogan has known only victories and championships. He had the rare opportunity to join the Montana program just as the 1995 Grizzlies began their immortal drive to the l-AA Football National Championship, winning their last eight games en route to the title and then 13 straight games in 1996. All of this came on the heels of a l-A football national title in 1994 while Hogan was serving his alma mater, Florida State Univer sity, where he spent 18 years in various athletic department capacities. At Florida State, Hogan played an integral role in that program’s rise from relative mediocrity in the '70’s to one of the nation’s premier ath letic programs today. Along the way he filled almost every conceivable role, from a volunteer student intern in 1974 to director of athletics in 1994. During that time the Seminoles won 190 football games and 14 of 16 bowl games, joined the Atlantic Coast Conference and saw its bas ketball teams reach the Sweet 16 and the Elite 8 during the ‘90’s. Since his arrival at Montana the football program has won 39 of 51 games, four Big Sky Conference Championships, appeared in the l-AA playoffs every year, won a national championship and then repeated an appearance in the national title game the following year. Perhaps the defining achievement of Hogan’s tenure occurred both in 1996 and this year when both men’s and women’s basketball teams won league championships along with football. A sweep of those three champion ships in a single year had never before been achieved in the 35-year history of the conference. With a knack for marketing and communications, Hogan’s contribu tions probably are best tallied by looking at the numbers. Attendance is up dramatically across the board. In football, season ticket sales, just 6,500 in 1995, will top 12,000 this year. Projections are for a complete p’reseason sellout for Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Average attendance is up from 11,000 at his arrival to better than 18,000. Annual giving is up

several professional presentations in both history and higher education. Dennison serves on several boards. He chairs the Governor’s Council on Commu nity Service and serves on the Board of the International Heart Institute of Montana, the Community Medical Center Advisory Com mittee, the Campus Compact Executive Committee, the Board of Directors of the International Student Exchange Program, the Steering Committee for America Reads/ America Counts, and the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation. George and his wife, Jane, have two chil dren. Their son, Rick, played college foot ball at Colorado State then joined the Den ver Broncos. He played linebacker for Denver for nine years and now serves as special teams coach. Their son, Robert, teaches math and computer programming in Tecumseh, Kansas, and coaches football, wrestling, and track. The Dennisons have four grandchildren.

by more than $100,000 and corporate sponsorships have also seen a six-digit increase. Hogan has also fostered the University’s royalty pro gram which has seen revenues on licensed products jump from $20,000 to well over $100,000. In all, revenue generated by this department has grown from $2.8 million in 1995 to a projected $4.1 million this year. Clearly Hogan’s most visible role has been the undertaking of a $14.7 million facility project which has converted the antiquated Harry Adams Field House into the sparkling new Adams Center. In addition to trans forming the old gymnasium into a truly modern-day basketball arena, the project has given Grizzly athletics a roadway to the future. Included in the project is a massive indoor practice and volleyball game facility, a new double-the-size weight-training facility, a new and expanded medical treatment facility, an academic center for student-athletes and remod eled equipment and locker rooms. The crowning jewel of the project is the new John C. Hoyt Athletic Office Complex. Hogan recently received a gift of $550,000 from Mr. Hoyt, a longtime UM supporter. That dona tion pushed a current fund-raising blitz to more than $1.3 million just since last September. These are just a few examples of Hogan’s aggressive style that has the Grizzly program on the move. Somewhat behind the scenes, Mon tana has received its NCAA certification, satisfied numerous gender eq uity concerns including the complete equalization of recruiting, travel and equipment budgets, attacked a number of salary inequities and reorga nized staff duties and responsibilities. During a recent State of the Uni versity address, President George Dennison called Hogan's program “the most efficient l-AA program in America.” After receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in communications from Florida State University in 1979, Hogan worked for two minor league baseball teams as a broadcaster and public relations specialist. He spent one year in Charleston, WV„ with the Houston Astros AAA farm team before moving to Albuquerque and a stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers AAA club in the Pacific Coast League.

Offensive Line Szalay hopes to follow in the footsteps of former Griz offensive linemen like Scott Curry (Packers), David Kempfert (Jaguars), and KirkScrafford (late of the 49ers) in the National Football League. Seniors Kaimuloa (6-4, 295), Thorsen (6-5, 298) and Thuesen (6-4,285) have all started for the past couple of seasons, while promising sophomore Brian Pelc (6-4, 280) and redshirt freshman Jon Skinner (6-6,305) are competing for the starting job at left tackle. Others vying for playing time are redshirt fresh man Derek Decker (6-5,265) at guard and redshirt freshman Dylan McFarland (6-6,265) at center. Sophomore lettermen Cory Short (6-2,275); Eric Kruger (6-6,285); and Chris Webb (6-4,270) may also see action. “This team has an outstanding offensive line,” Glenn said. “They’re smart. They’re tough. They are talented. They’re veteran, and they are wellcoached. Coach (Chad) Germer does a great job. I am excited about our chances offensively, based first-and-foremost on the strength of our offensive line.”

Tight End The tight end position has played a more significant role at UM the past couple of seasons, and juniors John Fitzgerald (6-2, 230) and Spencer Frederick (6-3,250), who were both moved from defense two springs ago, are exceptional blockers and receivers. Frederick was injured and missed most of spring drills but will be back at full strength. Redshirt freshman Brad Fjeldheim (6-5,245) is a promising young player, and sophomore Ike Mincy (6-2,220) was moved to tight end from linebacker. “We feel good about the ability of these play ers,” Glenn said. “They have the size and strength to block for us, but they also have the agility to catch the football and make something happen when they make the catch.”

Other returning starters are senor tackle Wide Receiver Corey Mertes (6-1, 280) and junior end Justin Junior wide receiver Etu Molden At receiver Farris (6-0,190) was UM’s second Klein (6-4,255).

much-heralded transfer a year ago, Drew had an outstanding junior season. He was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, named to several All-American teams, and was selected the Big Sky Conference’s “Top Newcomer.” He is the first Montana player to be selected the conference’s top newcomer in the 22 years that the award has been offered. H | led Division l-AA in passing efficiency at 168.57 and was second in the country in total offense, averaging 331.50 yards a game. Miller was Montana’s recipient of the Carlson Award (MVP) and was the runner-up for the conference’s MVP award. “Drew is coming off a great season and was the MVP of our (Big Sky) championship team,” said Griz head coach Joe Glenn. “He was named to some All-American squads and was an All-Big Sky Conference pick; so we’re looking for Drew to have a banner year and do more of the same. “He’s probably one of the greatest players to wear a Grizzly uniform, as far as statistics go,” Glenn said. “We’re really looking for leadership and production from Drew - big time.” His 3,461 yards rank him fourth in single-season passing yards at Montana. In just one season Miller is seventh on UM’s career passing yards list. “Drew throws a great ball,” Glenn said. “It’s a catchable ball, and it’s atight spiral,” Glenn said. “He’s as accurate as any guy I’ve coached in 29 years. He has great touch on his passes and can throw deep. He’s got all of the finesse that you need as a quarterback. He’s a special type of a player.” He passed for 300 or more yards in 8 of 10 games (he missed the game at Idaho State with an injury), and he threw for over 400 yards in two games. Drew had two or more touchdown passes in all 10 games that he started; threw for three TDs in three games; and had four scoring throws in three other contests. His 498 passing yards at Portland State was the sixth most in school single-game history and his five touchdown passes in that game tie him for the second most in that category. Miller was named second team All-American by the Associated Press, The Sports Network, and Teamlink.Com, and named to the Don Hansen’s Football Gazette's third team.

He shared the award with linebacker Adam Boomer. “Thatcher might have the best future of any of our players,” said Griz head coach Joe Glenn. “He’s big, strong, smart, competitive, athletic, and very physical. He has that desire to finish and a little nastiness to go along with that desire. “He is a fine, fine football player, especially due to the fact that he’s only going to be a junior,” Glenn said. “If he continues to progress, he'll play on Sunday - there’s no doubt in my mind. “He’s already a leader,” Glenn said. “You can see that, even though he is one of our younger players on the O-line,” Glenn continued. “He leads by ex ample. He’s got a little eye of the tiger in him which is a good trait for an offensive'lineman. He could play tackle, but his natural spot is guard. “Thatcher has all of the qualities that you look for in an offensive lineman ,” said Griz offensive line coach Chad Germer, an All-American center at Montana in 1991. “He’s very physical and is a great leader for us at his position. “He’s as dedicated as anyone who I have ever been around,” Germer said. “His commitment to being the best he can be is never lack ing.

Boomer started all 11 regular-season games last year and was selected first team All-Big Sky Conference by the league coaches in 1999. He was also named the co-recipient of UM’s Golden Helmet Award (hardest hitter) last year. “What you see in Adam is just tremendous effort,” said Griz head coach Joe Glenn. “He just knows no other way to play but at 110 percent. That’s the way he always plays. “If he gets caught out of position on a play-fake or something like that, he rallies so hard, and makes up so much ground through great effort, that he gets back and makes great plays because of his heart and desire,” Glenn said. “When you package that with his toughness, it makes him a fine, fine linebacker. “His desire, attitude, and work ethic make him such a solid player,” Glenn said. “He is respected by his teammates as a leader on and off the field. He’s the kind of guy you like to have in the middle of your defense. He’ll be a special player for us this year, there’s no doubt.” Boomer was thrust into a starting role when starter Rylan Jollymore was injured two seasons ago in UM’s second game of I the 1998 season (against Southern Utah). He made the best of that opportunity, finishing with a team-high 103 tackles, and he was second on the team with 6 tackles for losses.

There’s two super threats that you have between the two them, who had 15 touch downs and 1,300 yards plus. What a one-two combination that is. “When you throw Etu Molden in there and add a couple of other players in the mix, we’re good enough that you can’t just focus on Tanner Hancock or Jimmy Farris.” Glenn said. “Be cause of that, it should free Tanner up and lead to another out standing year for him.

He is the best hand-down guy and balance guy that I’ve coached and been around. He refuses to go down. When he’s hit the first time, he just has a way to spin and stay up and make more yardage. “You just really appreciate the way he battles and works for every yard,” Glenn said. “We hope he can repeat his accomplishm ents this year, be cause he was such a big part of the success the Grizzlies had last season. “ He’s a complete football player,” Glenn continued. “ Not only can he carry the ball with authority, but he’s also a solid receiver, and he’s part of our pass protection scheme. I think he’s improved his blocking in the spring. “He brings a real toughness to the team ,” Glenn said. “ I think he inspires the O-line to block even harder and finish their blocks when they know that he is going to run that hard and compete that hard. He’s a real inspiration to the offense.” His 1,529 rushing yards already rank him 10th on UM ’s career list -- just 699 yards off Rocky Klever’s all-time record of 2,228 yards, set from 1977SI .

He was selected the conference’s defensive “Player of the Week” on Nov. 1 following UM’s win at Idaho State, when he had three sacks and one tackle for a loss. This will be his third consecutive year as the starter at defensive right end. “When you think of Andy Petek, you might think that he’s a little out of position,” said Montana mentor Joe Glenn. “Certainly in this league you need a quick, speed-rusher, and that is obviously what Andy brings to the table. He had 10 tackles for losses and six sacks - 16 tackles behind the line of scrimmage is incredible. “Perhaps he’s out of position in that he was a linebacker in high school, but he makes it tough on big tackles to try to block him because he’s so quick and strong for his size,” Glenn said. “Hopefully we can get by with a four-man pass rush at times, and one of the reasons we’ll be able to do that is because we’ve got Petek coming. “It’s a real key for our defense that Andy has success for us in the pass rush area,” said Glenn. “We’re counting on him to be the leader among our pass rushers.” Montana’s 8th leading tackier as a sophomore in 1998, Andy had 40 stops that season. Andy has been one of just a handful of Griz defensive linemen to play as a “true” freshman in the past several seasons. His freshman year he had 20 tackles and was selected the “Outstanding Freshman” that year. He was hand-picked to wear number 37 by three-time (1995-9697) Grizzly All-American linebacker Jason Crebo. That number selec tion was started by two-time Big Sky defensive MVP Tim Hauck, who also wore jersey number 37. Andy earned seven letters at Helena High School: four in wrestling and three in football. He was team captain in both sports as a senior. He was chosen his football team’s defensive MVP following his junior and senior seasons and was the team’s leading tackier both of those seasons. Petek was an all-state selection at linebacker and punter as a junior and senior. He was named Montana’s prep “Gatorade Player of the Year” in 1996. He also excelled at wrestling and was the state champion as a heavyweight his senior year. He compiled a record of 62-7 his junior and senior seasons. Political Science major. Birth date: February 22,1978. Andy’s par ents are Dennis and Connie Petek of Helena. CAREER HIGHS: 6 Tackles at Northern Arizona, 1997; 3 Pass Deflections vs. N. PRONOUNCED: PEA-tick.

amon tiad another solid season for the Griz in 1999 and was a second team All-Big Sky Conference selection. He was also tabbed as one of Montana’s “Outstanding Juniors,” sharing that honor with several of his teammates. Last season he started in 10 games, missing the game at Cal Poly with an injury. He is UM’s 11th leading returning tackier. Last season he had 23 tackles, including three for losses, along with two interceptions, and seven pass deflections. This will be his third year as a starter at left cornerback. “DP is little big man, there’s no doubt," said Griz head coach Joe Glenn. “He defied gravity in winter drills and jumped just about as high as his body length. He’s an incredible athlete with great instincts. He’s got great quickness, great competitive speed, and great leap ing ability. Those physical attributes allow him to cover, even though he's usually somewhat smaller than most of the receivers that he goes against. “I think that he is poised for a great year,” Glenn said. “To me the most important thing you can have in the secondary is experience. He’s got that now. He’s ready to package that experience with his athletic ability into a great senior year.” As a sophomore in 1998, Parker was chosen the co-recipient of UM’s Terry Dillon Award (outstanding back/receiver), sharing that honor with wide receiver Jeremy Watkins. He was an honorable mention All-Big Sky pick as a kickoff returner in '98. He started 10 games in ‘98 and was Montana’s 13th leading tackier. “DP” was UM’s kickoff returner that year, and he was ranked 9th in the Big Sky Conference, averaging 20.7 yards on 21 returns. He was a very rare player in the Grizzly football program, as he saw considerable action as a “true” freshman in 1997. Damon was a late signee (July, 1997) at Montana. In ‘97 he had 20 tackles and was voted “Outstanding Freshman.” Parker earned 10 letters at James S. Richards High School: four in football and weight lifiting and two in track. He was second team all-state and All-Big Bend in football as a senior for his 7-4 team, which won the District 4A Region 1 title. He was chosen most valuable defensive back and team captain his senior year. Business Administration major and hopes to get a law degree and then pursue a career as a sports agent. Birth date: April 15, 1979. Damon’s parents are Willie and Dorothy Sellers of Tallahassee.

HONORSCANDIDATES L e if Thorsen

M a tt Thuesen

6-5, 295, 3V Senior Offensive G uard from Kalispell, M ontana

6-4, 295, 3V Senior Center from Billings, M ontana

iZ K s r standout on Montana’s talented offensive line, Leif will be starting for his third season in a row at right guard. Thorsen gets better game after game, and he was rec ognized for that by being named M ontana’s “Most Im proved” following his junior season. He was also named Big Sky Conference honorable mention and was tabbed as one of UM’s “Outstanding Juniors.” Leif is another one of the reasons that Montana has been among the national leaders in offense the past couple of seasons. Last year Montana was second in the nation in total offense (517.36 yards a game), scoring offense (46.36 points a game), and passing offense (370 yards per game). In 1998, the Griz were ranked third in the country in pass ing yards with 311.6 a game. “ He’s big, physical; he’s tough, he’s dedicated, and he’s experienced, so I think he’s got to be included as one of our honors guys,” said Montana head coach Joe Glenn. “ Football is very important to him, and he’s ready for a great senior season. “ He has leadership qualities as well,” Glenn said. “As a senior, we hope that he and Kamakana (Kaimuloa) and Matt (Thuesen) will give us a great veteran group up front.” “ Leif is a player who continues to get better and better every day,” said UM offensive line coach Chad Germer. “Even though he is a senior, he continues to look for ways to improve every phase of his game. “ His size and strength allow him to be a very dominant force for us in the trenches,” Germer said. “ He’s also a guy who has seen action as a starter since his freshman year. I feel Leif is set to have a great senior year, hopefully his best season yet.” He split starting duties as a freshman at guard with fellow senior “Honors Candidate” Matt Thuesen, the Griz zlies’ starter at center. He was a redshirt at Montana in 1996. Leif has been named to Big Sky Conference’s all-aca demic team in 1997, 1998, and 1999, maintaining a 3.30 GPA in sociology. He shared the G rizzlies “ O utstanding F reshm an” award in 1997. Thorsen was a football and track letterman at Flathead High School. He was chosen first team all-state and allconference. His high school football coach was Bob Applegate. Communications Studies major. Birth date: February 28, 1978. His parents are Gary Thorsen and Terri Haueter of Kalispell. Misc.: He said he likes snowboarding and alternative cross-training sports.

att will be starting on the offensive line for the third straight season. He started all 11 games at center last year and was an All-Big Sky Conference honorable mention pick in 1999. Thuesen was picked by the Griz coaches as one of the recipients of the team ’s “Outstanding Junior” award. “Good teams are made up of guys like Matt who are win ners on and off the field,” said Griz head coach Joe Glenn. “ He exudes class in everything he does. “ He’s a guy who everyone looks to for leadership,” Glenn said. “The great teams I’ve been a part of have had great chemistry and team comradery. A lot of that comes from guys like Matt Thuesen. “You need to be strong down the middle, and it all starts at center,” Glenn said. “Our center makes the calls; sets the calls; calms guys down, and when they need it, fires them up. The best teams I’ve been around have centers that are great leaders and people you can look to during tough times, and that’s Matt to a tee.” Thuesen is another important cog to M ontana’s potent offense of a year ago that was second in the nation in total offense (517.36 yards a game), scoring offense (46.36 points a game), and passing offense (370 yards per game). “ Not only is he a great center physically, but Matt is also a very intelligent football player,” said Montana O-line coach Chad Germer. “Our center has a lot of responsibilities in our offense, as far as setting up our run game and protection schemes. “ He is a very fierce competitor, which probably a lot of people d o n ’t realize,” Germer said. “ Everything he does, whether it’s on the football field or in the classroom, he strives for excellence. Matt is a perfect example of what hard work and determination can do for you.” Also an outstanding student, Matt was the recipient of UM’s President’s Award for 1999-2000 athletic season, an honor which is presented to UM’s male (and female) out standing student-athlete. He was an All-District 7 all-aca demic team choice last season and selected to the Big Sky Conference academic squads in 1997, 1998, and 1999. He was the backup at center at Montana as a “true” fresh man in ‘97. Thuesen was a two-sport letterman at Billings West High School. He earned four letters in track and three in football. He was a second team all-state pick as a senior in football. He was selected captain for the East team in Montana’s annual East-West Shrine Game and also participated in the North Dakota-Montana All-Star game. His high school football coach was Paul Klaboe. Political Science major. Birth date: November 21, 1978. His parents are Ron and Vicki Thuesen of Billings. PRONOUNCED: THOO-Sin.

W ashington G riz z ly Stadium his will be the 15th season Washington Grizzly Stadium has beenjpome for The University of Montana Grizzly football team. . Last season Montana drew a stadium-record 129,609 fans for seven home games — averaging an unprecedented 18,516 fans a game. That average of 18,500-plus broke the old stan dard of 18,346 per game set in 1998, which ranked the Grizzlies 8 th in Division l-AA attendance. The Griz began playing in Washington Grizzly Stadium mid way through the 1986 season, and they have since compiled a mark of 80-12 — a lofty 87.0 winning percentage. Montana has won 50 of its last 55 games played in Washington Grizzly Sta dium, dating backtothe middle ofthe 1992 season — a 90.9 winning per centage. Montana reeled off 30 straight vic tories beginning at the start of the 1994 season to Oct. of 1997. That win skein is the fourth longest home win ning streak in Division l-AA history. The first game played in the sta dium was on October 18, 1986, the Grizzlies registering a 38-31 comefrom-behind win over Idaho State. The long-time dream of an oncampus football facility was initiated in August of 1985, as Missoula busi nessman Dennis R. Washington and the employees of Washington Corpo rations provided a gift of $1 million. Four months after Washington’s do nation, in December of 1985, excava tion crews began work. In recognition ofthe gift by Washington and his com pany, UM’s new facility was named Washington Grizzly Stadium. The natural-grass stadium was paid for exclusively by private funds, with the majority of contributions com ing from Montanans, and of course Washington Corporations. A good portion of the funding for the stadium was raised by the University Seat Sponsor Program. After the UM Foundation started its initial fundraising, along with the UM athletic department and the Grizzly Athletic Asso ciation, the project received the financial boost it needed. Former Montana President Neil Bucklew, former Athletic Director Harley Lewis, and the board of directors of the UM Foun dation were all instrumental in the construction of the stadium. The stadium was expanded to “capacity” of 18,845 in the spring of 1995, as end zone seating was added on both the north and south sides. Prior to that there were 12,500 perma nent seats. When the grass end zones were available, the ca pacity was approximately 15,000. The stadium excavation consisted of moving 70,000 cubic yards of dirt, which places the stadium playing surface about 20 feet below ground level. An estimated 4,500 yards of concrete

were poured in the project. The field area inside the stadium is 182 feet wide and 402 feet from end-to-end. In conjunction with the building of the stadium, additional parking and practice fields were built. The Grizzlies are able to practice on the campus on an area which has the dimensions of four, full-size football fields. A 200-space parking lot south of the stadium was also added. At the peak of construction there were 180 craftsmen em ployed and 27 contractors, 24 of whom were from the state of Montana. There are 48 private boxes located on the east and west sides ofthe stadium. They are individu ally decorated and furnished by their respective owners. The press box located above the pri vate boxes on the west side includes radio and television broadcast booths, electronic and print media seating, coaches scouting boxes, a public ad dress booth, and an area for the scoreboard operators. The Missoula Hom ebuilders Association built the press box, primarily with volunteer la bor. C oca-C ola donated the original scoreboard, which was retrofitted and expanded in June of 1996. A new north end zone “mini” score board, which is three feet high and 40 feet long, was added prior to the ‘96 season. A new public address system was added for the 1996 season. The sys tem provides a maximum of 103 deci bels at each seat, as well as in each private suite. The expansion also in cluded a 17-foot by 10-foot 65,000 full color SoundBurst@ message center. The message center features game sta tistics, player profiles, statistics, and digital replays during live television broadcasts. In April of 1996 new men’s locker rooms housing football, basketball, track and cross country were completed. The new locker rooms are located below the entry level on the west side of the stadium and cover more than 4,000 square feet. The school began renovation of Adams Center (formerly called Adams Field Flouse) in the spring of 1998 and was ready for use this past season for Griz and Lady Griz basketball games and numerous special events. Also added in renovated Adams Center: a new 7,000 square foot weight room; a 4,500 square foot athletic treatment center; and a new 1,000 square foot learning center and meeting room with big screen videos, new women’s locker rooms covering 4,000 square feet, a 3,200 square foot equipment center, and three new meeting rooms totaling 2,000 square feet along with the Hoyt Office Complex for coaches and staff.

he 2000:2001 athletic season marks the 38th year of the Big Sky Cdhf|rence and, although still youthful in the world of NCAA Divi sion I athletic conferences, The Sky has solidified itself as one of the strongest leagues in the west as well as the nation. The Big Sky begins its fifth year of the current nine-institution member ship after adding Cal State Northridge, Cal State Sacramento and Portland State to the family in 1996. (Cal State Northridge will be leaving the conference after this season.) With its roots established in 1963, the Big Sky Conference began with six charter members: The University of Idaho, Idaho State University, Gonzaga University, The University of Montana, Montana State University and Weber State University. On July 1, 1970, the league experienced its first expansion, adding Boise State University and Northern Arizona University to the fold to create an eight-member league. On July 1, 1979, charter member Gonzaga left the league and was replaced by the University of Nevada. In 1987, Eastern Washington was ad mitted to the league to create the first version of a nine-member Big Sky Conference. The University of Nevada's departure in 1992 moved the league to eight members until July 1, 1996 when both Boise State and Idaho left the Big Sky, but the three additional institutions moved the league into a nine-member scenario for the second time. The Big Sky conference sponsors championships in 15 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, golf, basketball, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, in addition to football, women’s volleyball and soccer. The Big Sky is a NCAA Division I member in all sports, with member institutions classi fied as l-AA in football. The 2000-2001 athletic season also marks the twelfth year in which the Big Conference will sponsor championships in women's sports. Twelve years ago the Big Sky Conference merged with the Mountain West Athletic Conference, forming one league for both men’s and women’s athletics. The Mountain West had been in existence since 1982, sponsoring championships for women’s athletics at the same institutions the Big Sky had sponsored men’s programs. The Big Sky Conference member institutions are located in seven states that span from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Moun tains and from the Canadian to the Mexican borders. The entire west coast is now represented by the Big Sky with members in Washington, Oregon and California, and of the eight western most states in the contiguous United States, only one (Nevada) does not contain a Big Sky member. League members can be found in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washing

ton and Utah. The name BIG SKY originated in a novel written in 1947 by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., entitled Jack Hollowell, former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State, and Harry Missildine of the Spokane (Wash.) viSa -R n a sm ke o p c lled for the newly formed league to be named “The Big Sky Conference” in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963. Five days later, on Feb. 25, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the newly formed league. On July 1, 1995, Doug Fullerton became the fifth commis sioner of the Big Sky Conference and was given the reins to lead the league into the changing world of intercollegiate athletics. Fullerton replaced longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson, who retired after 14 years in the position. The first commissioner of the Big Sky was Jack Friel, who served from the league's incep tion until 1971. After Friel, John Roning directed the conference for six years until 1977 when Steve Belko assum ed the commissioner’s role. Belko was with league for five years.

It took a 23-yard pass from fresh man quarterback Nick Walker to sophomore wide receiver and Sacramento, Calif, native Etu Molden in the second OT for the 3rd-ranked Griz to pull out the dramatic win. “ Like I told the kids, this is a heck of a way to learn a lesson,” Mick Dennehy told the M .“But, I’d much rather learn n la u iso lesson with a win. Regardless of what anyone says, or what any one thinks, its goes in the win column.” Walker had come in for Drew Miller, who re-aggravated a shoul der injury that he had sustained the previous week in the South Dakota win.

1999 Season Review

^MYFARris

he way this one started, the final score was going to be 100-99, as the teams battled to a 21-all tie after one quarter. It took a blocked PAT by PSU’s Brad Ransom in the first overtime for the win. The combination of Jimmy Blanchard to Terry Charles, which had blistered the Griz all night, hooked up again on the first play of OT, PSU taking a 49-42 lead. Montana answered with a 28-yard scoring strike from Drew Miller to Jimmy Farris to get within a point, but the PAT was blocked and Montana had lost its first game of the season. Miller passed for a career-high 498 yards and five touchdowns, while Blanchard threw for 550 yards and 3 scores. Charles had 12 catches for 276 yards and a pair of TDs. It was Montana’s second overtime game in three weeks.

ustin Klein thwarted a Lumberjack come back attempt with a blocked punt late in the third quarter, when No. 7-ranked Montana’s 28-16 lead did not look too secure. The Griz offense, which had scored on four of its first five possessions, was not mov ing the ball. With just under three min utes left in the third quarter, 21 st-ranked NAU was forced to punt from their own 32-yard line, and Klein busted in from the left side for the block. Two plays after the Klein block, Jeremy Watkins scored on a mi raculous 13-yard end-around, starting to his right then reversing his direction, eluding would-be tacklers. Yohance Humphery picked up a game-high 111 yards. The Griz held the Jacks to 54 net yards rushing. Griz QB Drew Miller, who threw for 262 yards and 3 scores, re injured his right shoulder in the game. Miller was on the receiving end of the first catch of his college career, a 23-yarder from senior wide receiver Travis Walker, a high school quarterback in his prep days at Plentywood High School in Montana. Jimmy Farris, a junior receiver, had four catches, and two went for touchdowns, covering 17 and 19 yards. NAU’s quarterback Travis Brown and receiver Francis St. Paul con nected for a 92-yard touchdown bomb. St. Paul had 8 catches for 147 yards, while halfback Ronnie Jenkins had 8 for 101 and a score.

he Griz defense had its best game of the season and sophomore strong safety V in c e H u n ts b e rg e r picked off three passes, highlighting 7 picks by Montana — the second most in school history. (Montana had 10 interceptions at home against Boise State in 1989). On defense, Huntsberger had a * game-high 12 stops along with his 3 picks; junior linebacker A d am B oom er had 10 tackles including 3 for losses and a sack; senior linebacker Rylan Jollym ore had 8 tackles, with 2 for losses; while free safety Jason M iller had 6 stops and 2 interceptions. The fourth-ranked Griz were led by several offensive players as well. Halfback Yohance H u m p h ery just missed his career-high with 162 yards on 27 carries and he gained 124 of those yards in the second half. QB D rew M iller threw for 301 yards and 3 scores, and receiver Jerem y W atkin s had 5 catches for 101 yards and a TD. Miller, who practiced only once during the week, had to leave the game for a couple of series after he was drilled by EWU end Jeff Allen in the third quarter. Miller had handed the ball off to Humphery and was standing by the play when Allen nailed him from the side, and Allen was flagged for a personal foul. UM’s offense, usually very good at turning opponents’ turnovers into touchdowns, managed only a solo field goal out of the seven interceptions. The Griz converted 4-of-15 third down conversions, and their 25 points were half their season average. The Griz had come out of perhaps their toughest streak of oppo nents: Portland State, Cal State Northridge, Northern Arizona, and East ern Washington with three wins. Montana improved to 6-1 overall and 51 in the Big Sky.

ven with signal-caller Drew M iller not play ing, the 2,000-plus Griz faithful in Holt Arena had plenty to cheer about. As Miller, who was dressed out, watched from the sidelines, redshirt freshman Nick W alker (who started) and John Edwards went a combined 20-of-30 for 345 yards and 5 scores. Halfback Yo Humphery had his fifth straight 100-yard rushing game. Montana’s two young guns made the best of their opportunities, especially Edwards, who had lost his mom to cancer just three weeks earlier. Playing the second quarter, and most of the third, Edwards led UM to six scores and a field goal in UM’s seven possessions. He had completed just two passes prior to the game. When he entered the game UM led 11-9, and when he exited it was 56-16, Griz. Sophomore Etu Molden had 4 catches for a career-high 153 yards and a TD, while junior Tanner Hancock had 6 grabs for 119 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Bengals rushed for just 28 yards and the Grizzlies had 8 sacks, a career-high 4 by defensive end Andy Petek, while Justin Brannon and Corey Mertes had 2 sacks each.

Not until Etu Molden had an awe some one-handed catch in the end zone with 2:55 left to play could the Grizzlies finally take a deep breath and enjoy the scenery in this scenic town known as San Luis Obispo. “A win is a win,” Griz head coach Mick Dennehy told The Missoulian. “This is no easy place to play. Thank God the defense came out and made a statement in the second half. That was the key to the game.” Montana’s defense dominated the second half, as Cal Poly managed 12 yards in its last six possessions. The Mustangs had 209 total yards — 85 in the second half. Yohance Humphery failed to reach 100 yards rushing for the sixth game in a row, but he scored on a 2-yard run for his 14th rushing TD, tying Dave Dickenson’s record set in 1993. Montana had a couple of chances to put the game away, but quarterback Drew Miller fumbled the ball once and was picked off later on a batted pass. Miller, who had missed the Idaho State game because of injuries, was 24-of-41-1 for 321 yards and 2 scores. UM had a season-low 385 total yards. Cal Poly quarterback Andy Jepson was hit hard by Griz cornerback Jeff Shoate on a scramble late in the second quarter and junior free safety Jason Miller scooped it up and ran 19 yards for a score and a 14-point Griz lead. Miller and tight end Dallas Neil later left the game with inju ries. (Neil missed UM’s next two contests, while Miller sat out one).

Idaho kicker Ben Davis booted his fourth field goal of the game, a 25-yarder with two seconds to give Idaho the win. Davis weathered an Idaho timeout, and television stoppage, and three Montana timeouts before kicking the game-winner. Idaho mustered an impressive 10-play, 73-yard drive to get within field goal range. Kris Heppner connected on a 42-yard field goal with 2:52 to knot up the game 30-all — the fourth tie of the contest. It was Montana’s 11th loss in Washington-Grizzly Stadium in 91 games, dating back to the inaugural season in 1986. There was good news though, as Northern Arizona knocked off visiting Portland State 40-24, opening the door for Montana in the Big Sky race and the conference’s automatic l-AA playoff berth. Yo Humphery, who hadn’t fumbled in 212 carries in 1999, fumbled on two of his first three carries. In all, Montana lost three fumbles and was picked off twice. UM’s Jeremy Watkins had a career-high 12 catches for 171 yards and a TD. Cornerback Damon Parker, who left the game with a con cussion, had his first interception of the season. Miller was 29-of-50-2 for 399 yards and 2 scores. The crowd of 19,078 was the second largest ever in WashingtonGrizzly Stadium.

N ovem ber 2 0 ,1 9 9 9 Bobcat Stadium-15,007 Bozeman, Montana he Griz easily handled the over-manned Bobcats, winning their second consecutive league championship and fifth since 1993. And THE STREAK lives on, as the Griz zlies won their 14th straight over their intr astate rivals, in this, the 99th meeting. The Grizzlies also secured their sev enth l-AA playoff berth in a row. The game was not as close as the last meeting of the teams in Bozeman, when the Griz rallied in the final 22 seconds to pull out an unbelievable 27-25 win. Despite winds up to 30 mph, Griz quarterback Drew M iller com pleted 70 percent of his attempts (23-of-33) for 305 yards and 4 scores. Only two other Griz-Cat games were more lopsided. In 1904 the Griz won 79-0, while in 1987 Montana prevailed 55-7. Sophomore halfback Yohance Hum phery became the school’s all-time single-season rusher in yards and touchdowns. His 53-yard scamper moved him ahead of Steve Caputo, who gained 1,253 yards in 1971. Humphery finished the season with 1,277 yards. His 15th touchdown run, a 5-yarder, broke Dave Dickenson’s mark of 14 set in 1993. Senior receiver Jeremy Watkins became the seventh UM player to break 1,000 yards in a season, and his 123 yards gave him 1,025 for the year. Junior Jim m y Farris also had a big day with 5 grabs for 101 yards and 2 scores. The Griz had 543 total yards, while the Cats managed 158. Montana’s offense broke several single-season records: total of fense (5,691 yards), highest average yards a game (517.4), average yards per play (7.0), most touchdowns (68), and most first downs (280), to name a few.

^^O O M ER riz kicker Kris Heppner missed a 34-yard gametying field goal with 12 seconds left, and ninthseeded Youngstown State edged host and eighth-seed Montana 30-27. It was the Grizzlies third l-AA first round loss in a row. Montana (9-3) played from behind until mid way through the final quarter, taking its first lead (27-23) on a one-yard run by Yohance Humphery with 8:59 to go in this battle of two of Division l-AA’s heavyweights. The Penguins regained the lead for good about three minutes later, when elusive YSU sophomore quarterback Jeff Ryan scored from 18 yards out. Heppner, who was two-of-three for the game in field goal tries so far in the contest, attempted the game-tying kick from the left hash mark, which was one of the muddiest spots on the field. He slipped as he planted and the attempt was wide left. It appeared as though the Grizzlies would take the lead or at least tie it up, as they had a first-and-goal on the YSU nine-yard line with under a minute to play. However, quarterback Drew Miller was sacked; wide receiver Tanner Hancock was stopped for a one-yard loss on a pass reception; and then an incomplete pass led to fourth down, setting up Heppner’s futile field goal try. “I think we had them right where we wanted them, really,” Griz mentor Mick Dennehy told The Missoulian after the game. “We finally had our hands on the ball. We had control of the clock and we had a first down.” Miller, who had battled injuries for most of the season, completed 40-of-56 passes for 420 yards, but threw for just one score. Linebacker Adam Boomer had a game-high 12 tackles, including three for losses. The Griz defense made several big plays, but failed to contain Ryan and senior receiver Elliott Giles. Giles set a school record with 212 receiving yards on just six catches. Ryan scrambled for 88 yards and two scores and passed for a career-best 281 yards. It was YSU’s ninth victory of the season by nine points or less. The Penguins (12-3) would go on to win their next two games over North Carolina A&T (41-3) and Florida A&M (27-24), and then lose to Georgia Southern (5924) in the l-AA championship game. It was Montana’s seventh straight l-AA playoff appearance, which broke Idaho’s Big Sky Conference record of six, set from 1985-90. Youngstown finished with 103 wins in the 90’s, while the Grizzlies had 96 in that decade. Q u arter Youngstown State Montana

1996 “ Dicky,” who now starts for Calgary in the Canadian Football League, passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in Montana’s first th re e ‘95 playoff wins. That run of wins included lopsided victories over visiting Eastern Kentucky (48-0); Georgia South ern (45-0); and Stephen F. Austin (70-14), as the Griz out-scored their first three playoff opponents 163-14. In the championship game against Marshall, Dickenson or chestrated a 12-play, 72-yard drive, culminating with the gamewinner — a 25-yard field goal by Larson with 39 seconds left. Even though Dickenson had graduated and 10-year head coach Don Read had retired, Montana did not experience a letdown in 1996 — far from it. The ‘96 Grizzlies reeled off a school-record 14 victories and advanced to the l-AA title game for the second year in a row, once again traveling to Fluntington, West Virginia, to play Marshall. It was the first time in playoff history that two 14-0 teams would square off for the national crown. The Herd avenged that ‘95 loss to the Grizzlies with quarterback Eric Kresser and Moss, transfers from Florida and Florida State, hooking up for a playoff record four touchdown passes, Marshall winning 49-29. The Griz had to travel to play revenge-minded McNeese State in the 1997 first-round game, and the Cowboys scored the winning touchdown with 27 seconds to go for a 19-14 win. Four years earlier the Griz had edged the Cowboys 30-28 in an NCAA quarterfinal game in Missoula. In 1998, UM suffered its worst playoff setback ever, losing 52-9 in a first-round contest at Western Illinois. Prior to its current seven-year run from 1993-99, Montana had been in the playoffs on three previous occasions. In 1989 the Grizzlies hosted their first ever playoff game, beating Jackson State 48-7. A week later the Griz hosted East ern Illinois, winning 25-19. Montana then traveled to Statesboro, Georgia, to play Georgia Southern for its first-ever game in the semi-finals, losing 45-15. The Eagles went on to win the national title. UM's first two playoff games, in 1982 and 1998 were hosted by former Big Sky member Idaho, the Griz losing 21 -7 in ‘82 and 38-19 in ‘88.
