The University of Montana

U nive rsity H a ll The U niversity of M ontana was the state’s first college. Chartered on Febru ary 17, 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-Missoula is the ce n te r o f lib e ra l a rts e d u c a tio n and research in the state. The school has gone through numer ous 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 w asn’t until 1965 that the institution recaptured its origi nal name, The University of Montana. In 1988 Western Montana College in Dillon became part of UM, and in 1994, the Mon tana Board of Regents approved a restruc turing plan to create two universities within the Montana University System. Along with The University of Montana-Western, The University of Montana also includes Mon tana Tech in Butte and the Helena College of Technology. The University of Montana provides a high-quality, well-rounded education to students and a wide range of services to Montanans. UM is a major source of re search, continuing education, economic development, civic engagement, fine arts and entertainment, and serves as a driv ing force in strengthening Montana’s ties with countries throughout the world. UM’s Missoula campus comprises the

2002 MONTANA FOOTBALL

College of Arts and Sciences, the Gradu ate School, the Davidson Honors College, the College of Technology, and seven pro fessional schools: business administration, education, fine arts, forestry, journalism, law, and pharmacy and allied health sci ences. 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 12,668 stu dents. The student body is 52 percent fe male and 48 percent male. Last year Mon tana enrolled 315 foreign students from 60 countries. Located at the base of Mount Sentinel and on the banks of the Clark Fork River, the 200-acre campus is one of the most scenic in the nation. Campus life offers a variety of choices for UM students. Dormitory living provides nine halls with various options on campus. Elrod Hall 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 com pleted in 1995. Family housing can be found just three blocks south of the main campus in University Vil lages and Toole Village. Students inter ested in the Greek life have four sororities and seven fra te rn itie s from w hich to choose. The University of Montana has a ninehole golf course, located just south of the main campus. The Grizzly Pool is a sevenlane, 25-yard indoor swimming pool that is used for numerous classes and pro grams and has been recently upgraded. The Fitness and Recreation Center, adja cent to the Adams Center, has undergone a major renovation. Finished in Fall 2001, it provides 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 oppor tunities for the campus community to par ticipate in recreational activities such as rafting, kayaking, climbing, hiking, back packing and skiing. UM owns and operates Lubrecht Experi mental Forest, a 28,000-acre teaching and research forest. Located approximately 30 miles northeast of Missoula, Lubrecht For est provides students the opportunity to learn tree thinning and harvesting tech niques 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 academ ic center for the ecological sciences. The freshwater research labora tory encompasses 80 acres. UM a lso has had 47 in te rn a tio n a l Fulbright Scholars, nine Truman Scholars, 10 Goldwater Scholars, 13 Udall Scholars, and 28 Rhodes Scholars. The University was listed among the top 25 universities and colleges in the nation for Peace Corps recruiting, was named one of the nation’s best paddling colleges in P a d d le r m agazine and is p ro file d in A m e rica's 100 Best C ollege Buys and Barron’s Best Buys in College Education .

Outlook Senior Brandon Neill (6-3, 215) was 2-0 as a starter (St. Mary’s and Weber State) and was 58-of-83-1 (.699 for 659 yards, but he had knee surgery last winter and did not par ticipate in 2002 spring drills. “If you have depth at quarterback like we do — we’re national champions because of that depth,” Glenn said. “ Both of those guys (Edwards and Neill) took their turns rallying the team to victory. We are very fortunate to have two senior quarterbacks who played in huge games for Montana. We just hope that Brandon can come off that knee surgery and be as good as he was a year ago for us. Then throw in (senior) Brett Staninger (6-3, 208) as an insurance policy. That’s as solid as you can get.” Junior Jeff Disney (6-2, 195) had impres sive stats last season at Chaffey Junior Col lege (Calif.) but is tabbed to redshirt this sea son. Redshirt freshman Kendall Selle (6-2, 200) also returns. HALFBACK: This is a key position for the Griz, as they seek a replacem ent for Humphery, a finalist for the Walter Payton Trophy in 2001. U nfortunately, ju n io r Branden Malcom, who gained a modest 211 yards and 2 TDs last year, is also gone for personal reasons. However, the cupboard is not empty, as redshirt freshmen David Gober (5-9,190) and JR Waller (5-9, 197), who split time in the spring, showed a lot of promise. Both will see plenty of action this season. “Yohance’s gone, and he was the premier runner in the history of our school, and there’s nothing we can do about it,” Glenn said. “The good part is that we have some talented young kids, and they’re running behind a veteran line and a veteran quarter back. “They (Gober and Waller) have gone through two installations now in fall camp (2001) and spring ball. They’ll have fall camp this year, and by the time we play Hofstra we feel pretty confident that either one of those kids can go into the game and get the job done, physically and mentally. “We also had a pretty good spring out of sophomore Pete Hamill (5-11, 190), who gives us a little more experience there,” Glenn said. Glenn added that incoming freshmen Turill Engelman (5-10,190) and walk-on Dana Knox (5-7, 180), “could make some noise. They are also both track kids with good times in the 100 meters in their respective states.” OFFENSIVE LINE: Montana lost twotim e consensus All-Am erican Thatcher Szalay at guard to graduation, but McFarland (6-6,290) was a second team All-Big Sky pick a year ago. Veterans Decker (6-5, 289), Pelc (6-4, 285), and Skinner (6-7, 315) return, as do talented young players Procter (6-5, 285)

2002 MONTANA FOOTBALL - OUTLOOK

and Garth Enger (6-4, 250), who both saw action a year ago as “true” freshmen. “This is a good hand to draw to right here,” Glenn said. “We have great experi ence, great athleticism, great strength and size, and we feel this will be the strength of our offense, along with our veteran quarter backs.” WIDE RECEIVER: This is an area hit hard by graduation, as Molden (76 catches for 1,145yards and 14TDs); Humphery (40-3982), Frederick (31-289-3), and Oelkers (26-3722) have all departed. “Once again, we lost championship-caliber players, and they are always hard to re place,” Glenn said; “ but we sure like the tal ent level and the skill level of some of our guys returning. “ Rory Zikmund (5-10,192) returns after a very good year, and he had an outstanding spring, and he’s a senior, and we expect him to be a leader,” Glenn said. “We also feel that Tate Hancock (5-10,170), Tyler Peterson (5-10, 170), Jefferson Heidelberger (5-10, 165), Jon Talmage (6-4,190), and Dane Oliver (5-9, 165) are all guys who should contrib ute, and contribute well, in a pretty good passing scheme. We hope (junior college signee) Enrique Duncan can step in and help out right away.” TIGHT END: Veterans Frederick and John Fitzgerald both graduated, but sophomore Conor Molloy (6-5, 245) and redshirt fresh man Ja’Ton Simpson (6-5, 230) are big tar gets and very capable receivers. Molloy un derwent knee surgery after suffering an in jury in the spring of 2001, which forced him to miss last season. “Conor and Ja’Ton give us targets like we’ve never had before, and both should be major contributors this season,” Glenn said. Junior Brad Weston (6-1, 225) saw plenty of action last season but missed spring drills with a neck injury. Sophomore Colt Palmer (6-1, 230) and redshirt freshman Ben Winn (6-4, 225) are also vying for playing time. Palmer excels as UM’s deep snapper.

DEFENSE DEFENSIVE END: Pitcher (6-4, 230) and Bush (6-3, 240), both juniors, combined for 102 tackles and 19 sacks last season. Pitcher, a second team All-Big Sky selection in 2001, missed the last half of spring drills after undergoing minor shoulder surgery. Bush was an honorable mention all-league selection last year. “That’s a strength for us, no doubt,” Glenn said. “Ciche is one of our premier guys on our defense, and Tim Bush just totally came out of nowhere and had a banner year. Then you back them up with two seniors (Herb Fernandez, 6-4, 238 and Ike Mincy, 6-2, 230), who both have had some playing time and excel on special teams. We feel our defen-

Sophomore Wide Receiver Tate Hancock sive end position is very solid, but again we need to have Ciche healthy; that’s critical.” DEFENSIVE TACKLE: A veteran at tackle, Colter (6-2, 295) is UM’s sixth (tie) leading returning tackier with 43 stops a year ago, but he also missed spring drills due to an ankle injury. Colter is UM’s only senior at that position. The talented Varona (6-3,280), only a sophomore, had 55 tackles in 2001, including 11 for losses and was a second team All-Big Sky pick last year as a redshirt freshman. “ One of the ingredients we don’t know about going into fall camp is our defense because of injuries,” Glenn said. “We had some players who could not play much in spring ball in order to get them healthy for the 2002 season. We are certainly counting on some of those guys, like Colter, (John) Cahill, and Pitcher. Cahill, a 6-2, 270-pound sophomore, started five games last season, and he also missed spring drills because of an ankle injury. Sophomore Blake Horgan (6-3, 275) is also a quality player at this position, and redshirt freshman Alan Saenz (6-2, 285) could contribute right away. “On our defensive line I think that our twodeep, possibly our three-deep if you include our redshirt freshmen in the scheme of things, could be outstanding,” Glenn said. “ It starts with that first layer of defense, and with those people returning, we feel very good about who we have up front. We just need to get those guys healthy.” LINEBACKER: Matt Steinau, who was UM’s second leading tackier with 92 stops and a first team all-conference pick, gradu ated. Junior Joel Robinson (5-11,230) started a few games, as did Thompson (6-3, 215). Sophomore Adam Hoge (5-11, 215) could also be in the mix.

Outlook “ In spring ball it looked like Robbie was right in his element, plus he stayed healthy,” Glenn said. “ He led the defense down the stretch last year. “We played spring ball with two lineback ers and went nickel quite a bit, and that’s probably what we’ll do in the fall, looking at our schedule,” Glenn noted. “ I thought Adam Hoge came on strong in the spring, and he’ll compete with Andy Thompson at ‘W ill’ backer. “ (Redshirt freshmen) Shane MacIntyre (63, 222) and Kyler Noel (6-1, 214) continue to impress, with their play-making ability and their athleticism,” Glenn continued. “The big question mark is sophomore Nick Vella (6-2, 204), who has had two shoulder surgeries.” Glenn said that Dustin Dlouhy (6-2, 217) may see action as a “true” freshman. CORNERBACK: Peeples had a teamhigh 3 interceptions and 11 PDs and got stronger as the season went on and started in all fo ur p layoff games. Sophom ore Levander Segars (5-9, 170) made his name as a returner last year, but he should see action at cornerback as Peeples’ back-up. Junior Vernon Smith (6-1, 175) was start ing mid-way through the season but missed several games with a wrist injury. He will start at the ‘weak corner’ spot. Senior Randyn Akiona was moved from wide receiver to cornerback last spring and is the back-up to Smith. “We’re a little thin at corner so we need to stay healthy there,” Glenn said. SAFETY: Young (6-0, 195), who might be one of the most underrated players in the league the past couple of seasons, is not only the Grizzlies’ second leading tackier in 2001 with 76 stops, but he also had 12 tackles for losses and 9 sacks. Talented junior Dave DeCoite (6-1, 190) is expected to start at strong safety, replac ing Huntsberger, a four-year starter. However, DeCoite missed the last half of spring drills with a ruptured spleen. “Trey Young is a competitor, a winner, and a leader,” Glenn said. “ Dave DeCoite is an excellent football player.” Sophom ore Kyle S cholle (6-0, 190) redshirted a year ago as he recovered from an early-season knee injury and adds qual ity depth at free safety. Senior Joel Rosenberg (5-10, 185) will see action at strong safety, and he’s also played cornerback. “Once again it depends on our health at this position,” Glenn said. “ Dave DeCoite had the injury in the spring, and Kyle Scholle was still coming off his surgery from the injury that he suffered in the Hawaii game. “A pair of redshirt freshmen, Tyler Thomas (6-0,190) and Kevin Edwards (6-2,185) had good springs and might help us at some point of time,” Glenn added. “We moved (junior)

Brent Meyers (6-1, 195) to safety in an effort to get a tough guy on the field.”

SPECIAL TEAMS KICKER/PUNTER: Chris Snyder (6-0, 204) connected on 13-of-22 field goals with a long of 49, made 46-of-47 PAT attempts, and consistently had lengthy kickoffs. Mark Spencer (6-5, 200) averaged 43.2 yards per punt on 51 attempts, had 14 inside the 20, and a career-long 77-yarder at Mon tana State last year. “These two guys sure affected our team last year with field position,” Glenn said. “They had a tremendous impact on field po sition in so many of our games, including the playoffs. Chris continued to knock the ball deep in the end zone, and Mark continued to get good distance and hang time. “Our cover teams did a great job of pin ning our opponents down, and many times they were looking at more than 80 yards to score,” Glenn continued. “Our ability defen sively not to give up big plays kept other teams at bay.” RETURNERS: Segars averaged 10.3 yards on 25 punt returns and was an honor able m ention all-conference selection. Molden led UM in kickoff returns (20.1-yard average) last year. “ He’s special, and he’s a game-breaker,” Glenn said of Segars. “Then you throw guys in there with him like Peterson and Heidelberger with the speed they have, along with players like

Hancock, Zikmund, and Peeples, and there are some guys who make special teams spe cial,” Glenn said. THE SCHEDULE: Montana opens the 2002 season on a Thursday night at Hofstra, a team that was 9-3 last season and ranked ninth prior to the playoffs a year ago. The Pride handed the Griz a 10-9 opening-season home loss in 2000. “The match-up with Hofstra will be simi lar to two years ago when two veteran teams which had both been in the playoffs the pre vious year hook up the first game of the sea son,” Glenn said. “We need to come out of the blocks quicker than two years ago. Nine points won’t cut it. I think we’ve come a long way in two years, and hopefully we can prove that.” Montana also has non-league match-ups with Albany (7-3 last season), Northern Colo rado (7-4 a year ago), at Idaho (1-10), and against Southern Utah (2-9). “ Idaho will be much improved, and we have to go there and play a Division I team,” Glenn said. “ Idaho’s depth is very strong. Northern Colorado just voted to go l-AA (from Division II), so they’re moving in our direc tion, and they have a strong program. South ern Utah is scary because they run the op tion, and you need to prepare for them. I don’t know a lot about Albany, other than they’re a l-AA team (in the Northeast Confer ence). “We are very excited about the fact that seven times we’ll have our crowd here to help us win and go for another Big Sky champi onship and a chance to hopefully go back to the national playoffs,” Glenn said. The Griz open their Big Sky slate in an early Homecoming contest against steadily improving Idaho State on Sept. 21. “ In some instances we’ve had tougher games in our league than we’ve had in the playoffs,” Glenn said. “ I don’t think you can throw anybody out when you try to guess who has a shot at it (the Big Sky title). “ Idaho State has quality talent, and they will be a challenge,” Glenn continued. “At the end of the (2001) year no one was play ing better than Portland State. Obviously NAU (Northern Arizona) was solid and a play off team a year ago. Montana State was one of the most improved teams last season and doubled their win total, and they have key people back. Weber State played us well last year, Eastern Washington is always tough, and you know Sac State will be better. “They’re all aggressive in recruiting and doing a great job, so I wouldn’t count any one out, not one team in our league,” Glenn concluded. “We know we have a bulls-eye on our backs, but that’s alright because it beats the alternative.”

son, missing the St. Mary’s and Weber State games with injuries. He begins his senior cam paign ranked eighth in school history with 3,495 yards passing. He has thrown 22 touchdown passes the past two seasons and scored 8 times rushing. His 2,160 passing yards last season rank him 15th in single-season history. “Any time that you have a quarterback returning who took your team to the na tional championship you’ve got to be ex cited,” said Montana Head Coach Joe Glenn. “The first thing you think of with John Edwards is he’s a winner. When you talk about him as a person or an ath lete, he’s a winner on and off the field and in every sense. He has great cha risma. “He had a tremendous spring and re ally came into his own,” Glenn said. “ Last year we kind of thought John’s second read was with his feet. He was very efficient a year ago, throwing for 59 percent, but he had a propensity to take off and run with the ball. He’s a very good scrambler, but he really stepped up on his reads and passing skills this (past) spring. He delivered the ball on rhythm and with accuracy better than ever. It was a great spring for John.” He is 16-1 as a starter, dating back to his sophomore season, with his sole set back (30-12) coming last season at Hawai’i. He saw plenty of action as a sopho more, and he started in victories over Portland State, Northern Arizona, and Montana State. That year he played in seven regular-season games and all four playoff games. He was voted UM’s co-Sophomore of the Year (with safety Trey Young). He passed for 211 yards and a TD against Georgia Southern in the 2000 l-AA title game after he had replaced injured se nior starter Drew Miller. At Billings West High School he led

“ He has the whole package,” Glenn said. “He just received one of the top academic honors from the business school. He is just one of those people in life who is blessed, and he’s taken advantage of it. “We have very high expectations of him,” Glenn said. “ He’s an excellent pass-blocker. All he needs to do is con tinue to get stronger and smarter, which comes with experience and hard work. He’s a very talented athlete, and there are going to be some things that we do this year that will feature him on the pe rimeter and show how he can really run. We are fortunate to have a player of his caliber.” Injuries forced Dylan into the lineup early in his young collegiate career, and he proved to be one of the reasons for Montana’s success in 2000. He came in early in UM’s win at Eastern Washing ton (Sept. 30 of 2000) and then started for the Grizzlies in their next six games. Unfortunately for “Mac” and the Griz zlies, he was sidelined for the last part of the 2000 season when he broke his ankle at Weber State on Nov. 11. He has worked hard in the off-season over the past two years and has gained more than 25 pounds. He has the abil ity to play all three spots on the offen

A very ta len ted player, Dylan was chosen second team All-Big Sky Con ference by the league coaches follow ing an outstanding 2001 season. He was selected M ontana’s “ O utstanding Sophomore” on offense last year. The last two seasons he has been one of the key ingredients to Montana’s of fensive success and helped the Griz rank among the national leaders in sev eral offensive categories. Montana was ranked 21 st in the country in total offense (419.2 yards a game) and 20th in scor ing (33.8 points per contest) last season. Over the past two seasons Montana has been ranked among l-AA’s top of fenses.

He made 13-of-22 field goals (including a long of 49), 46-of-47 PATs, and many of his kickoffs were deep in the end zone and unreturnable. His 163 career points already rank him 11th on Montana’s ca reer scoring list. “ He hit 7-of-7 field goals in our spring scrimmage (in 2002), and he’s for real,” said Montana Head Coach Joe Glenn. “ He’s men tally tough, and he’s physically tough. “One of his strengths is putting the other team in tough field position,” Glenn said. “ He will definitely affect the field position in a game and that will help us. He and (UM punter) Mark Spencer are both capable of dominating field position in a game.” Snyder was expected to be an impact player for the Grizzlies as a freshman, and he came through with flying colors, earning hon orable mention All-Big Sky recognition. In 2000, he connected on 13-of-21 field goals (61.9 percent) and made 39-of-42 points after touchdown (PAT) attempts. He had a career-long field goal of 52 yards at Portland State in 2000, which was the longest in the conference that year. As a “true” freshman at UM, Chris led the league in scoring for kickers with 78 points, averaging 7.1 per contest, which ranked him fifth overall in the Big Sky.

Punter • 6-5, 200 • 1V • Senior • Fallbrook, Calif.

Mark had one of the most dramatic turn-arounds in UM history last season. He started his Griz career in ominous fash ion. In Montana’s 2001 opener at Cal Poly last season he mis handled the snap on his first punt and got off a 25-yarder. That was his only attempt of the game, as Chris Snyder took over the punting chores after that early miscue. The following week Spencer did not make the trip to play Ha waii on the island of Maui. A week later, special teams coach Chris Knutsen gave Mark another opportunity early in the Western Washington contest, and Spencer won his job back. The rest, as they say, is history. He went on to average 43.16 yards per punt, which ranked him fourth in the nation in Division l-AA. He not only averaged 43-plus yards on 51 attempts, but 14 of his punts were inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. He had a 77-yarder at Montana State last year which landed on the Cats’ 4-yard line. MSU fumbled on its first play preceding that play, and Montana scored four plays later. In that MSU game Spencer averaged 52.5 yards on six punts, including three inside the 20. He was named to the Big Sky Conference’s second team, and he was selected a first team All-American by Don Hansen’s Foot ball Gazette. Mark was also a standout in the 2001 playoffs. In those four games he had 21 punts for a 41.4-yard average and had seven of of his kicks inside the 20-yard line, three of which came in the title game against Furman. “ His impact on field position will be huge,” said Griz mentor Joe Glenn. “ He’ll be one of the top punters in our league. His consistency continued to develop through spring football. He’s got confidence now, and he’s going to have an outstanding se nior season. “ If he can improve his hang time and consistency, he might have a chance to play at the next level,” Glenn said. “ He has the potential to get a look.” He came to Montana from Palomar Junior College in San Marcos, Calif. Spencer’s freshman team at Palomar JC won the Junior College National Championship. His junior college teams won two Mission Conference titles, and his JC teams also won championships in the “ 1st Down Bowl” and “Shrine Bowl.” His junior college football coach was Tom Craft. He attended Fallbrook Union High School where he earned letters in football and soccer. Business major (accounting). Birthday: August 27, 1979.

It was a phenomenal run for us last season, and our defense kept get ting better and better, which is a sign of good coaching. Our defensive scheme is one of the better schemes in all of college football. Mike stays modern and ahead of the game. ” PRONOUNCED: bress-KEY

They ended the 2000 season as Division l-AA’s sixth-ranked passing team (313.0 yards a game) and were the 15th-rated offense (455.9 per contest). Because of that success, Head Coach Joe Glenn “officially” promoted Cockhill to the offensive coordinator’s position follow ing the 2000 season. Billy also coaches the quarterbacks.

He’s a perfectionist and it shows in the way that our offense plays. I see Billy getting better-and-better with each practice and each game. Our offensive numbers the past two seasons are a reflection of good coach ing. He has had a lot to do with our suc cess the past two years.”

he wants. He searches high-and-low for exactly the type of athlete he wants, and he gets them. “Chad is a hard worker, and that work ethic carries over to the guys he coaches,” Glenn said. “He is a technician and that is reflected on how our offensive line plays. His players play hard and with intensity. He is a very conscientious, highly competitive p e rso n , and th a t’s the w ay th a t he coaches.”

Maybe not so much for his running style, but for his toughness and his ability to block. “Harvey knows and understands what it takes to be a good football player,” Glenn said. “He tries to make all of his players be

GAME NOTES: The Grizzlies were solid in most phases of the game to register an expected win at Cal Poly, a Division l-AA Independent.

Wind: 3-5 NW previous year, when visiting Hofstra stunned the home-standing Griz zlies with a 10-9 win. After that opening-season setback to Hofstra UM-1 st-8:40-Vince Huntsberger, 27 fumble return (Chris Snyder kick) in 2000, the Griz reeled off 13 straight wins en route to the l-AA title 7-0 UM game.

UM-3rd-11:08-Yohance Humphery, 1 run (Snyder kick), 21-10 UM It was Payton Trophy candidate Yohance Humphery who was UM-4th-6:12-Snyder, 46 field goal, 24-10 UM the big difference on offense, as he rushed 30 times for 159 yards UM-4th-3:38-Edwards, 1 run (Snyder kick), 31-10 UM CP-4th-1:04-Kassim Osgood, 15 pass from Burford (Niakan kick), 31- and a TD. “ They pressured our passing game and knocked us off our 17 UM routes,” Griz Head Coach Joe Glenn told the media after the game. 4 Score 2 3 “So we relied on our running game a little more. We came out in the 10 31 7 7 second half and established the run, and that was the difference in the game.” Montana scored first when senior Buchanan Award finalist Vince Huntsberger scooped 7 17 7 0 up a fumble by Cal Poly halfback Paki Gordon and raced 27 yards untouched fo r a touch Cal Poly Montana down. 17 24 Montana opened the third quarter with a 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive and Cal Poly 37-160 53-183 never really threatened after that.

2002 MONTANA FOOTBALL - 2001 SEASON REVIEW

GAME NOTES: THE STREAK continued, but the Grizzlies’ 16th win in a row in this 101st match-up was difficult. UM’s ninth straight win of the 2001 season was once again due in a large part to two big plays: a fake field goal and a Bobcat turnover. M id-way through the second quarter the Grizzles re gained the lead when T.J. Oelkers, UM’s holder, raced 19 yards for a touchdown on a fake field goal. It was Oelkers’ first career rushing TD. MSU tied the game 17-all at halftime on a field goal. The Griz got a break on MSU’s first possession of the second half when junior halfback Ryan Johnson fumbled on the Cat 13-yard line. Four plays later Yohance Humphery scored on a one-yard run, and Montana took the lead (2417) for good. Humphery rushed 35 times for a hard-earned 101 yards and scored twice. Junior quarterback John Edwards started his second Griz-Cat game in a row and improved to 2-0 vs. MSU with the win. Edwards was an efficient 13-of-28 for 162 yards and a scoring pass and had a critical one-yard run for UM’s final touchdown.

Montana Stateout-gained Montana 351 to 297 total yards, but the Grizzlies had almost 11 more minutes of possession time and held the Cats to 3-of-1 2 on third down conversions. Junior punter Mark Spencer had a career-long 77 yards in the game.

GAME NOTES: The last three times these teams have met, it’s come down to the final seconds of the game, and fortunately for Montana, they came out on top. This 81st meeting in this long-standing rivalry - the second oldest for each school, featured all sorts of momentum swings. Two years ago, when the Vandals won on a lastsecond field goal, it looked like the Griz would win in the same fashion, but Chris Snyder’s 41-yard field goal was wide left, due in a large part to strong, swirling winds, forcing overtime. The Griz stru ck firs t blood in overtim e, as Etu Molden caught a fade pass in the right side of the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown. Trailing by seven and facing a 4th-and-14 from the 19, Idaho QB John Welsh found Ethan Jones in the right side of the end zone, and he made an improbable catch between tw o Griz defend ers. Brian Pope’s PAT knotted it at 27-27. Idaho had the first possession in the second OT, but Pope missed a 30-yard field goal attempt, which meant Montana just had to score in any fashion for the win.

Yohancy Humphery ended the game quick, scoring on a 25-yard sweep around left end for the

Champs

Griz Have Had Nine Straight Playoff Appearances The University of Montana Grizzlies again proved why they were one of NCAA Division l-AA’s premier programs, as they won their second national championship in 2001 with a 13-6 defensive gem over Furman University in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Last season Montana won a school-record 15 games, going 15-1 overall and a perfect 7-0 in the Big Sky Conference. The past two seasons UM has gone 28-3 overall and 15-0 in league. “We inherited a great program,” said Griz Head Coach Joe Glenn. “You look at all of the things that we have - the support from our crowd and from our administration. When you can get

ship in the past seven seasons. In the last eight seasons, the Griz have won six league titles and finished second the other two years. Montana began last season ranked second in the nation by The Sports Network, and moved to first nine weeks into the sea son, ending up there after garnering the title. The Grizzlies’ final No. 1 ranking in 2001 was its best ever. UM’s previous high was a second-place ranking in 1996, following a 14-1 season. Over the past nine seasons Montana has been ranked in The Sports Network’s top 25 for 125 of the past 128 weeks.

2001 NCAA Championship post-game interview, Chattanooga, Tenn., L-R: Tim Bush, Thatcher Szalay, head coach Joe Glenn, John Edwards, Yohance Humphery, and Dave DeCoite. 18,000-19,000 people at a game, who love to compete, as Griz zlies, against the other team, it makes it hard to come here and win. The program is strong.” The 2001 season was Montana’s 16th winning season in a row and the ninth straight season the Griz have advanced to the l-AA playoffs. The Griz have been a dominant team in the new millennium, winning the national title last year and playing for the champion ship in 2000 (a 27-25 loss to Georgia Southern). Montana’s 2001 Big Sky title was its sixth league champion-

THE ROAD TO THE 2001 CHAMPIONSHIP Montana began the year with three non-league opponents, starting with a 31-17 lackluster win at Cal Poly. The Griz took an early lead over l-A Hawaii, but lost 30-12. It proved to be the only setback of the season. Following the events of 9-1-1, a game with Idaho was postponed, and two weeks later UM had an emotional 30-0 blanking of Western Washington in its home debut. The Big Sky opener against Eastern Washington was a drain ing double-overtime affair, as QB John Edwards hit Etu Molden for a 20-yard touchdown pass for a 29-26 Griz win.

Griz in the NCAA Edwards, Molden, record-setting halfback Yohance Humphery, the Griz D, and the team’s 12 seniors carried out the year’s theme “ Unfinished Business” for the rest of the 2001 season. Montana cruised with wins at Sac State (42-7), over St. Mary’s (49-19), at Northern Arizona (38-27), and versus Portland State (33-13). The Griz had led NAU 38-0 early in the third quarter, but the Jack scored 27 unanswered points to make that game inter esting. Down late in the third quarter, UM salvaged the season by outscoring host Idaho State 14-0 in the final quarter to pull out a 3228 win. Homestanding Montana won its 19th Big Sky game in a row with a 38-23 win over Weber State. The victory also gave the Griz their fourth consecutive league title. Next the Griz racked up their 16th straight win over intra-state rival Montana State in a hard-fought 38-27 decision in Bozeman. The regular-season ended with a 33-27 double-overtime, heartstopping win over Idaho on a 25-yard run by Humphery. The opener in the 2001 playoffs proved to be a litmus test for the Griz, as they had to overcome a 13-0 halftime deficit, but came back to beat visiting Northwestern State (of Louisiana) 28-19. Edwards led his team to five touchdowns in their first six pos sessions and the defense forced six turnovers which resulted in a 49-24 quarterfinal win over visiting Sam Houston State. UM had its third shutout in 27 playoff games with a 38-0 blank ing of Northern Iowa in the semis, earning its fourth trip to the title contest in seven years. In Chattanooga, the Griz were just one play away from the first shutout in 24 l-AA championship games, registering a 13-6 vic tory over Furman University. 2000: GRIZ FALL SHORT ON 2ND TITLE BID When Glenn took over at Montana, the Griz faithful expected league titles and trips to the l-AA championship game. Glenn and his team got off to an an ominous start, though, as they suffered a 10-9 rare opening-season home loss to Hofstra. “ It’s tough from the expectations standpoint, but you w ouldn’t want it any other way,” Glenn said. “ It beats the opposite, and we have big expectations of ourselves too.” After the setback to Hofstra it looked as though an 0-2 start for the first time in 15 years was feasible, as long-time foe Idaho was up next. But, senior quarterback Drew Miller passed for a careerbest 505 yards, and senior Jimmy Farris made a miraculous, onehanded catch in the closing seconds for a dramatic 45-38 win over the Vandals. That win over Idaho (in Pullman) was followed by a convincing 53-3 win over visiting Cal Poly. A week later the Griz were hit with numerous injuries but beat Eastern Washington 41-31 victory in

Spokane. In H om eco m in g 2000 a g a in s t S a cram en to State, G riz cornerback Damon Parker picked off an errant Hornet lateral and returned it 40 yards for the winning touchdown for an improbable 24-20 win. Miller, plagued with injuries th ro ug h ou t the season, was knocked out of the Northridge contest, but enter Edwards, who scored late on a one-yard run, and UM pulled out a 34-30 win. Next was a 17-7 victory over Northern Arizona, which guaran teed Montana its 15th straight winning season. A week late came a crucial 33-21 win over Portland State in Hillsboro, as Humphery returned from a leg injury that he suffered against EWU and gained 194 yards on 37 carries. Montana beat Idaho State 38-21 next as senior end Andy Petek’s registered his school-record 15th sack of the season. At Weber State, Montana dominated the game statistically, but two WSU kickoff returns for TDs made this one close (UM, 30-28). The 100th Griz-Cat intra-state showdown was marred by pen alties, but Montana’s 28-3 win gave the Griz the conference title and automatic playoff berth. The Grizzlies’ third trip to the l-AA championship opened with a 45-13 win over visiting Eastern Illinois. A quarterfinal home con test against run-oriented Richmond (Virginia) turned into a sec ond half defensive struggle, but Montana prevailed 34-20. Against scrappy Appalachian State it took another Miller to Farris hook up, this time in overtime, to give the Griz a shot at the crown. Soon after a 27-25 championship loss to Georgia Southern, Montana began focusing on a return trip to Chattanooga. 12 TRIPS TO THE PLAYOFFS Montana has now participated in 12 Division l-AA playoffs in nine consecutive years, 1993 to 2001. In £93 UM suffered a lastsecond, 49-48 first-round home loss to Delaware. That letdown turned to elation in £94, when the Grizzlies squeaked by Northern Iowa 23-20 and then beat McNeese State on Andy Larson’s last-second field goal (30-28). All-American quarterback Dave Dickenson was injured early in the McNeese win £94, a factor in a subsequent 28-9 loss at Youngstown State in the semi-finals. But, Montana was close to reaching the pinnacle of l-AA, and they reached it a year later. The Grizzlies won the national championship in 1995 with a last-second, come-from-behind victory (22-20) over host Marshall. UM had returned just 12 starters in 1995, but looked like a team of destiny.

“ Dicky,” passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in UM’s first three playoff wins in ‘95, and the Griz out-scored their oppo nents 163-14. In the title game at Marshall, despite an injury to his (right) passing shoulder, Dickenson orchestrated a 12-play, 72-yard scor ing drive. That drive culminated with a 25-yard field goal by Larson with 39 seconds left as Montana eked out the win in a hostile setting. With Dickenson gone to the CFL and 10-year head coach Don Read’s surprising retirement, the Griz did not have a letdown in 1996 — far from it. Montana reeled off 14 straight wins and ad vanced to the title game again at Marshall. This time l-A transfers Eric Kresser and Randy Moss prevailed, Marshall winning 49-29. It was the first time in playoff history that two 14-0 teams had squared off for the national crown. The Griz had a winning drought in the playoffs from 1997-99. In 1997 host McNeese State revenged its 1994 playoff loss at Montana with a 19-14 come-from-behind victory. In ‘98 Montana suffered its worst playoff loss in history, losing 52-9 at Western Illinois. In a first-round 1999 playoff game in Missoula, the Griz hosted the Youngstown State Penguins, YSU eking out a 30-27 victory. That setback to the Penguins was Montana’s third firstround playoff loss in a row. In 1999, Montana made its seventh consecutive appearance in the playoffs, setting (since extended to nine by UM) a Big Sky record. The old mark of six straight was set by Idaho from 198590. About a week after the YSU loss, Head Coach Mick Dennehy left UM to become the mentor at Utah State. On December 6, 1999, Joe Glenn was introduced as Montana’s 32nd head coach. Prior to its current nine-year run in the playoffs, Montana had been in the playoffs three times. Its first playoff game was in 1982, a 21-7 loss at Idaho. The second came was six years later, in 1988, the Griz once again traveling to Idaho, losing 38-19. The 1989 was a watermark season, as the Grizzlies hosted their first ever playoff game, beating Jackson State 48-7. A week later the Griz hosted Eastern Illinois, winning 25-19. Montana played a eventual national cham pion G eorgia Southern in Statesboro in a semi-final game, losing 45-15

The 2002-2003 athletic season marks the 40th year of the Big Sky Conference and, although still youthful in the world of NCAA Divi sion I athletic conferences, The Sky has solidified itself as one of the s tro n g e s t leagues in the West as well as the nation. With its roots established in 1963, the Big Sky Con ference began with six char ter members: The Univer sity of Idaho, Idaho State University, Gonzaga Univer sity, The University of Mon tana, Montana State Univer sity and Weber State Uni versity.

On July 1, 1970, the league experi enced its first expansion, adding Boise State University and Northern Arizona Uni versity to the fold to create an eight-mem ber league. On July 1,1979, charter mem ber Gonzaga left the league and was re placed by the University of Nevada. In 1987, Eastern Washington was admitted 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 addi tional institutions moved the league into a nine-member scenario for the second time. Cal State Northridge entered the con ference in 1996 and left it in the spring of 2001 .

The Big Sky co nference sp on sors cham pionships in 15 sports, including men’s and wom en’s cross country, golf, basketball, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, in addition to foot ball, women’s volleyball and soccer. The Big Sky is a NCAA Division I member in all sports, with member institutions classified as l-AA in football. The 2001-2002 athletic season marks the 13th year in which the Big Conference will sponsor championships in w om en’s sports. Thirteen years ago the Big Sky Con ference 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, s p o n s o rin g c h a m p io n s h ip s fo r women’s athletics at the same institutions the Big Sky had sponsored m en’s pro grams. The eight Big Sky Conference member institutions are located in seven states that span from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountains and from the Canadian to the Mexican borders. The entire west coast is now represented by the Big Sky with mem bers in Washington, Oregon and Califor nia, and of the eight western-most states in the contiguous United States, only one (Nevada) does not contain a Big Sky mem ber. League members can be found in Ari zona, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Utah. The name BIG SKY originated in a novel w ritten in 1947 by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., entitled The Big Sky. Jack Hallowell, former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State, and Harry Missildine of the Spokane (Wash.) Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named “The Big Sky Confer ence” 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 be came the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference. Fullerton replaced longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson, who re tired after 14 years in the position. The first com m issioner of the Big Sky was Jack Friel, who served from the league’s incep tion until 1971. After Friel, John Roning di rected the conference for six years until 1977 when Steve Belko assum ed the commissioner’s role. Belko was with the league for five years.

Missoula began as a settlement called Hell Gate when C.P. Higgins and Francis Worden began a trading post to ac commodate the travelers. The settlement was later renamed Missoula, taken from a Salish Flathead Indian word, Imisuletiku, “At the stream or water of surprise.” (Missoula, the Way It Was, Lenora Koelbe, 1972). Early settlers constructed Fort Missoula in 1877 to combat the perceived threat by Na tive American tribes. Today the Fort Missoula Museum remains a testament to the West. Missoula offers a variety of recreational op portunities. Three major rivers run through the area: the famous Blackfoot River to the northeast, the beautiful Bitterroot River to the south, and the Clark Fork of the Columbia River, which flows adjacent to The University of Montana campus.

Grizzly Athletics

Adam Bork was one of two Montana outdoor track and field All-Ameri cans in 2002. The University of Montana offers 14 intercollegiate athletic pro grams for student-athletes in football, men’s and women’s basket ball, women’s volleyball, soccer and golf, men’s and women’s cross country, tennis, and both indoor and outdoor track & field. Montana is a charter (1963) member of the Big Sky Conference, which consists of eight teams: Cal State-Sacramento, Eastern Wash ington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Port land State and Weber State. The Montana Grizzlies have always been a force to reckon with, particularly in the revenue sports. The Grizzly football team has had unprecedented success in the 1990s and early 2000’s, winning the NCAA Division l-AA National Football Championship title in 1995 and 2001, and advancing to the title game in 1996 and 2000. Montana’s gridders have registered 16 winning seasons in a row, and set a Big Sky record by making their ninth straight appearance in the playoffs in 2001. The Griz had 19 players named to the All-Big Sky team in 2001, and senior safety Vince Huntsberger was named the MVP on de fense. Montana had eight diffrent players named to All-American teams last season. The Grizzly basketball team has posted 23 winning seasons in the past 25 years. Guard David Bell was a first team all-conference selection following the 2001-2002 season, while forward Dan Tram mel was an honorable mention pick for the second year in a row. Montana won the Big Sky’s post-season tournament in Bozeman last season, beating Eastern Washington 70-66 in the title game and advancing to the NCAA tournament for the fifth time in school his tory, losing 81-62 to Oregon in a first round game played in Sacra mento, California’s ARCO Arena. The Griz hoop teams own five Big Sky trophies, including backto-back titles in 1991 and 1992. Lady Griz head coach Robin Selvig (UM 1974), who played hoops for the Griz, has a 24-year record of 555-158. In 1999-2000 he be came the seventh coach in NCAA Division I women’s basketball to win 500 games at one school. Last season senior guard Cheryl Keller and freshman center Hollie Tyler were named to the all-conference first team, while Tyler was named Freshman of the Year. The Lady Griz basketball team was ranked 24th in the nation in attendance in 2001-02 with an average of 3,468 fans and has been among the top 20 for 17 of the past 18 years. The Lady Griz basket

ball team recorded their 20th 20-win season in the past 22 years in 2000-01, going 21-9. They have won 14 Big Sky titles and advanced to the NCAA tournament 14 times. The 2001 Griz volleyball team of second-year head coach Nikki Best was decimated with injuries. Last year sophomore outside hit ter Lizzie Wertz was an honorable mention all-conference pick. Mon tana has advanced to the Big Sky Championships 11 times in the 15-year history of the tournament. UM’s women’s soccer team has gone 101-47-4 since head coach Betsy Duerksen took over the inaugural program eight seasons ago. Last season defenders Kerri Houck and Elisa Scherb were cho sen first team all-conference, along with midfielders Nikki Bolstad and Liz Roberts. Midfielder McKenzie Zajonc was tabbed the league’s “ Defensive MVP.” In 2000, Montana’s women’s soccer team advanced to the NCAA Championships and made it to the second round before losing to second-seed Washington in Seattle. Coach Kris Nord led the men’s and women’s tennis teams to the 2002 Big Sky Championships, where they faced tough competition. Freshman Lindsey Torgerson was an honorable mention all-league selection last season. Montana’s women’s golf coach, Joanne Steele, has consistently put together competive teams for the past six years. This past year the Lady Griz placed second in the Big Sky championships, their highest finish ever. Montana sophomore Katie Jacobson won the individual title, also a first for the Griz. The Grizzly cross country women’s and men’s teams both finished fourth at the conference championships last season. The Griz track and field teams had a solid 2002 season, with coach Tom Raunig and his assistants sending 39 athletes to the Big Sky outdoor championships, which was hosted by Montana. The men’s team had a lofty second-place finish, while the women’s squad fin ished fourth. For the second year in a row Adam Bork earned All-America hon ors at the outdoor championships by placing sixth in the decathlon and is UM’s fourth All-America decathlete in five years. Junior Scott McGowan earned All-America honors in the 1500 meters, after earn ing All-America honors in the mile during the indoor season. Athletic facilities at Montana have improved dramatically over the last few years. One of those improvements was a $14.3 million reno vation to the field house, which created Adams Center. The Adams Center features two new auxiliary gyms, a major facelift for Dahlberg Arena, a new weight center, an athletic treatment center, locker rooms, and an academic center for student-athletes. Washington Grizzly football stadium was completed in 1986 and can accommodate a total of 19,005 fans. The natural-grass stadium gave way to SprinTurf for the 2001 season. A million dollars was given by an anonymous donor for the new playing surface, which is named ‘John Hoyt Field.” Dornblaser Stadium, located on the UM south campus, recently went through a complete refurbishing and is now one of the nicest outdoor track facilities in the conference. UM’s South Campus Soccer Stadium was completed in 1996 and features a fully fenced venue, scoreboard, remodeled locker rooms, and seating for 1,000. The University also has its own golf course, several soccer fields, and a newly remodeled swimming pool. A renovated state-of-the-art campus recreation facility, which is adjacent to Adams Center, opened in the fall of 2001. It features racquetball and basketball courts, aerobic/cardio-vascular workout rooms, expanded weight room, locker rooms, a climbing wall, and a juice bar. The facility is located on four floors. Grizzly athletes receive outstanding support services in the areas of academics, athletic treatment, equipment, financial aid, and sports information.

Athletics Director Wayne Hogan Montana Athletic Director Wayne Hogan, who is beginning his seventh year at the helm, has indoctrinated Griz fans to the con stant hum of progress and a well-docu mented desire for success. Wayne has been called the “champion of change,” and he has been undeterred in leading the Grizzly program to levels of greatness never imag ined by Grizzly faithful as recently as 15 years ago. This year nearly 13,000 season tickets will again be sold providing a com plete pre-season sellout of Washington Griz zly Stadium for the second straight season. The 46-year-old native Floridian has an association with intercollegiate athletics for more than 25 years, Hogan has known nothing but victo rie s and ch am pionships. Hogan’s six-year stint has included two foot ball National Championships and a myriad of conference titles and NCAA appearances. He solidified his commitment to Montana and 1-AA Football by accepting a four-year appointment to the powerful eight-member NCAA 1-AA Football Committee in 2000. Meanwhile, physical improvements and ad ditions to the athletic facilities at Montana have been all-encompassing since his ar rival. Hogan’s career spans over two decades, including a 20-year association with Florida State University, his alma mater. He played an integral role in that program’s rise from relative mediocrity in the 1970’s to one of the nation’s premier athletic programs to day. In true “rags-to-riches” form, Hogan’s first job at FSU was that of an unpaid stu dent intern in 1974. Twenty years later he became the school’s interim Athletic Direc tor, overseeing 15 sports and a $28 million budget. During his time in Tallahassee the Seminoles won an incredible 190 football games, 14 of 16 bowl games and a National Championship in 1993. The basketball pro gram reached the Sweet 16 and the Elite Eight in successive years and Hogan was instrumental in the school’s acceptance into the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference. Since his arrival in Missoula, the success of the football program has reached new heights. Three different head coaches - two of whom were hired by Hogan - have led the Grizzlies to an incredible 73-15 record since his arrival at mid-season in1995. Four times the Grizzlies have appeared in the 1AA National Championship game, bringing home titles in 1995 and 2001. Hogan counts six Big Sky Conference football champion ships and Grizzly teams have been in the 1AA playoffs every year. Other sports have flourished as well. On two occasions, 1996 and 1999, UM won conference champion ships in football and men’s and women’s basketball. A sweep of the “ big three” in a single year had never been accomplished in league history.

2002 MONTANA FOOTBALL

Hogan oversees a football game experi ence that is perhaps as enjoyable as any in college sports. Grizzly football games are one of the biggest shows in Montana in the fall, with many fans driving in from miles around to enjoy the excitement of a Griz Foot ball weekend. Those who can’t make the games are treated to the Grizzlies via televi sion and radio as Hogan has negotiated the most comprehensive media package in the school’s history. Every Grizzly football game, home and away, is televised statewide and the radio network reaches every corner of this massive state. This year UM’s program will generate nearly $5 million from its own sources - a figure unheard of for a 1-AA institution and more than twice as high as any other school in the Big Sky Conference. This figure also translates into fewer general fund dollars being expended on athletics, leaving a big ger pool for other University priorities. Those num bers back up President George Dennison’s declaration that Hogan presides over “the most efficient 1-AA program in America.” With the program’s success, Griz zly sports infuse nearly $40 million annually into the local economy. Prior to 1995, outright gifts to athletics at UM for more than $10,000 were virtually non existent. By comparison, in just the last 24 months individual benefactors have pro vided: a gift of $1 million for synthetic turf (Griz Grass) and other improvements at Washington-Grizzly Stadium; a gift from the late John C. Hoyt of $650,000 for comple tion of the athletic offices that bear his name; a donation of more than $500,000 from Mark and Anne Timmons of Missoula for a com plete overhaul of the Dornblaser Track com plex; and a collective gift approaching $300,000 raised by the National Advisory Board for Grizzly Athletics to design and con struct the Hall of Champions, a display of Grizzly memorabilia and history to adorn the south concourse at Adams Center. This unique advisory board was also Hogan’s brainchild, bringing together more than 30 highly-successful businessmen and women from across the United States for the purpose of enhancing Grizzly athletics and re-con necting alumni, former athletes and friends to the University. Hogan’s personnel moves have also been highly visible. Early on, he was saddled with the responsibility to replace the legendary Don Read as head football coach. His choice of Mick Dennehy proved to be on target as the Grizzly program continued its Big Sky dominance and its 1-AA playoff run. When Dennehy left for Utah State in 2000, Hogan plucked Joe Glenn, a two-time National Champion at Division II Northern Colorado. Glenn, quite simply, was the perfect fit for

UM. His 28-3 start and back-to-back title game trips say it all. Hogan has also added popular track coach Tom Raunig, whose team has returned Montana to the top of the Big Sky heap after a lengthy hiatus. Nikki Best, top recruiter and assistant coach at powerhouse Nebraska, also jum ped on Hogan’s team as volleyball coach. Most re cently, Hogan coerced Pat Kennedy, a win ner of nearly 400 Division I basketball games at Iona, Florida State and Depaul to take up residency at Montana - a move that shook the basketball w orld and put M ontana squarely in the national basketball spotlight. Kennedy is the most successful men’s bas ketball coach ever to work in the Big Sky Con ference. Hogan’s path to Montana is an interest ing one. He received a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication from Florida State in 1979 and then worked for two minor league base ball teams as a broadcaster and public rela tions specialist. He spent one year in Charles ton, W.Va., with the Houston Astros AAA farm club before moving to Albuquerque and a stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers Triple A affiliate. While in Albuquerque, Hogan was coaxed back into college athletics, becom ing the assistant sports information and mar keting director at the University of New Mexico. He returned to Florida State in 1982 as the school’s sports information director. Hogan was promoted to athletic director in 1992 and became the interim athletic direc tor for the 1994-95 year. In Missoula, Hogan has been active and serves on the Convention and Visitor’s Bu reau Board as well as the executive board of the Missoula Rotary Club. Wayne is married to the former Dawn Dewberry of Treasure Island, Fla., and they have three children: Lindsay, Kelly and J.P., a sixth-grader at Meadow Hill School.

RhSnehart Athletic Training Center The Rhinehart Athletic Training Center, which boasts 7,200 square feet of space and includes an enlarged rehabilitation area, was remodeled in 1999. Also in cluded are athletic trainers’ offices, six hydrotherapy units and a consulting office where nutritionists and doctors can meet with athletes. There are also classrooms for the athletic training curriculum. The RATC provides numerous ways to treat injuries; electrical stimulation units, whirlpools, free weights and balance boards. The primary goal of the athletic training staff is to provide quality care for student-athletes while helping them safely return to competition. When a student-athlete is injured, an athletic trainer evaluates the severity of the injury and renders whatever care is needed. Depending on the extent of the injury, the student-athlete visits the center daily, at least two to three times, for treatment and rehabilitation exercises. The athletic training staff works together with the Athletic Performance staff to monitor the student-athlete's strengthening exercises. Once the student-athletes have regained strength and function, they are allowed to return to the playing field or court. Although athletic trainers provide injury care, they also promote injury prevention. Preventative maintenance occurs in the form of injury-screening processes, flexibility, taping and strengthening exercises. Montana has a well-established athletic training curriculum which allows students to work directly with the student-athletes.
