Head Football Coach Bobby Hauck

Before joining the Buffaloes, Hauck coached the out­ side linebackers and handled recruiting duties for North­ ern Arizona in 1993 and 1994. Hauck’s head coach at NAU Arizona was Steve Axman, UCLA’s offensive coordinator.

Three of Hauck’s players at NAU were All-Big Sky selec­ tions.

Tim Hauck, his younger brother, was a standout defen­ sive back at Montana and was selected Big Sky Confer­ ence defensive MVP in 1988 and 1989. Tim was also UM’s team MVP in 1988 and 1989. Tim went on to earn Division IAA All-American honors and is in his 13th season in the National Football League (most recently with the 49ers).

A Montana native, Bobby Hauck’s first coaching posi­ tion came in 1987 as an assistant at Sweet Grass High School, his alma mater, working for his father, Bob Sr. Bobby Hauck was a three-sport standout at Big Timber High School, lettering in football, basketball and track.

Hauck, a Montana graduate, began his collegiate coach­ ing career as a volunteer assistant for the Grizzlies in 1988.

He worked as a secondary coach, and he coached the in­ side linebackers at UM in 1989.

Bobby Hauck (pronounced HOWK) was formally intro­ duced as the new head football coach at his alma mater on December 20, 2002. Hauck, 38, is the 33rd head football coach at The University of Montana. He replaced Joe Glenn, who compiled a three-year mark of 39-6 at UM and is now the head coach at the University of Wyoming.

Hauck spent the last four years at the University of Wash­ ington. This past season at UW, his responsibilities included working with the entire defensive backfield and serving as the special teams coordinator/coach.

The previous three seasons he worked with the safeties and coordinated the Huskies’ special teams. Energetic and hardworking, Hauck is considered one of the top recruit­ ers in college football. The previous two seasons at Wash­ ington, Hauck had two players, Charles Frederick and Der­ rick Johnson, named to the freshman All-American on spe­ cial teams.

In 1999, Hauck helped UW develop freshman kicker John Anderson into a freshman All-American. Freshman kick re­ turner Paul Arnold tied a school record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Air Force in 1999.

Prior to working at UW, Hauck was at the University of Colorado, where he was the special teams coordinator, re­ cruiting coordinator, and coach of the safeties during each of his four seasons there.

At Colorado, he was responsible for coordinating all six special teams groups: punt coverage and return, kickoff coverage and return, field goal/PAT and field goal/PAT de­ fense. In 1998 his Buffalo kickoff and punt return teams were both ranked in the top five in the nation. In 1997, his kickoff return unit ranked second in the country.

His first three years at Colorado he also worked as the recruiting coordinator. In 1998 he gave up those duties to coach in the Colorado secondary. At Colorado, Hauck coached seven All-Big 12 Conference performers.

Kraig and his wife, Jody, have three sons: Keogh, Eilas, and Rokken.

COACH BOBBY HAUCK: “It’s outstanding for us to have a great football coach who is a UM alum return home to coach for us. Kraig will be able to pass on the tradition of playing hardnosed defense to our linebackers. He will also provide a sense of history of our program and our university to our team. ”

2003 Montana Outlook: Quality Nucleus Returns With an outstanding nucleus of starters and 46 lettermen back and hopes for the suc­ cess of the 2003 season, The University of Montana Grizzly football team remain “sky high.”

First-year Montana head coach Bobby Hauck has numerous goals as the Griz head into fall camp before his team makes a run at another Big Sky Conference title and a record-setting 11th straight Division l-AA play­ off appearance.

“We have to name a quarterback before we take the field at Maine; that’s probably our number one issue,” said Hauck, who had been an assistant at the University of Wash­ ington before taking over at Montana in De­ cember of 2002 for Joe Glenn, who took the head job at the University of Wyoming.

“I think we need to get our players back who had surgery in the off-season, get them back to weight training and get them ready for the season,” Hauck said. “Other issues we need to address are to keep improving in the secondary and increase our level of play so we’re game ready, and we can go out and win some games.

“We know that people (UM’s 2003 oppo­ nents) are going to give us their best shot on any given Saturday,” Hauck said. “We’re not going to go out against anybody on our schedule and not be ready to play. We antici­ pate getting their best shot every week, and we need to be ready to answer that.

“We put in all of our offensive and defen­ sive schemes inthe spring,” Hauck said. “Now we need to complete our packages and get all of the detail things in, such as two-minute offense, goal-line defense, nickel and dime packages, etc. I thought we did good work in the spring on both sides of the ball. We’ve got the basis of all facets of the game in, and now we’re just looking to refine that in fall camp.”

Montana is coming off an 11-3 season, a 5-2 Big Sky record (UM finished in a threeway tie for first with Idaho State and Montana State). Montana has been the outright Big Sky champion or shared the title the last five years in a row and for eight of the past 10 seasons.

The Griz tied the l-AA record for consecu­ tive playoff appearances in 2002. They gar­ nered their 10th straight berth, which ties them with Eastern Kentucky (1986-95). Mon­ tana defeated visiting Northwestern State 4514 in a first-round playoff game last season and then lost 24-20 at McNeese State in a quarterfinal contest.

Montana returns 19 starters: 10 on of­ fense, eight on defense, and its place-kicker.

2003 MONTANA FOOTBALL - Outlook

Of those 19 returning starters, 12 received All-Big Sky Conference recognition last sea­ son.

Two key players the Griz must replace are free safety Trey Young and quarterback John Edwards, who graduated. Also gone and graduated are cornerback Johnnie Peeples and punter Mark Spencer.

Young was a three-year starter and the Big Sky’s defensive MVP last season.

Edwards, the league co-MVP on offense (with Eastern Washington senior quarterback Josh Blankenship), finished his career as the school’s fifth leading passer with 6,704 yards and was 27-4 as a starter.

Both Edwards and Young were finalists for l-AA’s highest awards: the Walter Payton Award on offense and the Buck Buchanan Award on defense.

Not surprisingly, Montana started the 2002 campaign ranked first in the nation and stayed there for 11 weeks. After all, the Griz were coming off the 2001, l-AA national champion­ ship, a 13-6 win over Furman, and returned 17 starters from that squad.

Last season the Griz reeled off 10 con­ secutive victories (at one point in 2002 Mon­ tana was 10-0 overall and 5-0 in the confer­ ence), but their win streak was halted by a 30-21 loss to Eastern Washington in Spo­ kane.

One of the surprising things about Montana’s 2002 season and 10-0 start was that the team did not have one running back or wide receiver who had scored a touch­ down in college. Not only was UM thin in experience at those crucial offensive posi­ tions, but the team was also hit hard by inju­ ries.

Two of those key injuries occurred to jun­ ior (2002) All-American defensive end Ciche Pitcher, who played in two of UM’s first three games last year, and returning first team all­ league defensive tackle Jonny Varona, who missed the entire season with an injury.

Another major setback happened when senior center Brian Pelc, a three-year starter, sustained a season-ending injury at Weber State. Redshirt freshmen running backs David Gober and JR Waller also both suf­ fered injuries, and senior Jelani Harrison was lost for the year in the game at Portland State.

The Griz lost their leading receiver, fresh­ man standout Jon Talmage, to an injury in the Northern Arizona game, but he did return for UM’s two playoff games.

Montana is touting six All-Amercian can­ didates prior to the season: senior defensive end Tim Bush, senior offensive tackle Dylan McFarland, junior defensive end Ciche Pitcher,

Senior wide receiver Dane Oliver. junior offensive guard Cory Procter, junior returner Levander Segars, and senior cornerback Vernon Smith. All six players were all-league picks (except for Pitcher who was all-league in 2001) last season.

Hauck added that a handful of Griz re­ cruits may see action right away in 2003.

‘Justin Green will be in the mix at tailback immediately,” Hauck said. “One or two of the young secondary players are going to have to come in to contribute.”

OFFENSE Q U AR TERB ACK Redshirt Jeff Disney (6-1, 198) from Chaffey Junior College and Colorado trans­ fer Craig Ochs (6-2, 205), both juniors, had outstanding performances in spring drills and continue to compete for the starting job. Jus­ tin Hartman (6-1, 190), a much-heralded freshman from Great Falls, also looked good last spring, but may redshirt.

“I think all three of our quarterbacks had a good spring, and they all made progress,” Hauck said. “It was great competition be­ tween them. Jeff Disney and Craig Ochs dis­ tanced themselves a little bit from Justin Hartman, however, Justin put up some good numbers and has a good grasp of the offense.

Jeff and Craig bring a lot to an offense, and they are in a heated battle to see who is go­ ing to be the starting quarterback against the University of Maine in our opener. I am not sure when we’ll name our starter, and we may

12

not make that announcement public.”

RUNNING BACK Sophomore JR Waller (5-9, 197) started several games, and his 826 yards last sea­ son rank him 10th in single-season history at UM. Turill Engleman (5-10,190) is a promis­ ing redshirt.

‘UR had a nice spring,” Hauck said. “In evaluating his (JR’s) tape from last year, I thought he did a better job of getting the ball downhill and into the line of scrimmage, go­ ing north and south. He also did a nice job pass-protecting.

“Turill Engelman also made a vast im­ provement,” Hauck said. “He pushed JR and had some nice runs during scrimmages this past spring. I think well continue to have a battle this fall between those two and junior Justin Green (a transfer from Mesa CC) to see who’s going to be the starter on opening day.”

O FFEN S IV E LIN E All five starters return here, including three seniors. Those three seniors, tackles Dylan McFarland (6-6, 290) and Jon Skinner (6-6, 315) and guard Derek Decker (6-5, 295) will all be starting for their third season in a row.

Last season McFarland was named to sev­ eral All-American teams, while Skinner was second team all-league. Decker was honor­ able mention All-league, as was junior guard Cory Procter (6-5, 295). Junior Garth Enger (6-4, 285) started and played admirably at center the last eight games of the season. All three returning senior starters are honors candidates this season, as is Procter.

“This is a good group, and our goal is to get the best five on the field for our opening game,” Hauck said. “That may mean there will be some position shakeups. Some play­ ers who were last year’s starters are being pushed by Brad Rhoades (6-5, 260, sopho­ more), Jason Frink (6-4, 260, sophomore), Jeff Marshall (6-5,260, redshirt freshman), as well as Jay Green (6-3, 298, junior), who is a transfer from Utah State. So you can see that we’ve got four players pushing our starting front, and I am not exactly sure who the initial five will be in our opening game.

“Cory Procter has looked great in the off­ season but missed a lot of the spring drills with a minor injury,” Hauck said. “Skinner, McFarland and Decker have led the charge also, and being seniors, that’s what you’d expect out of them. I fully expect that group to be a strength on our team.”

T IG H T E N H M M H H M M H UM has its top four players back at this position, including junior starter Conor Molloy (6-5, 250), who had 14 catches for 180 yards last season. Other returnees are senior Brad Weston (6-1, 225), and juniors Willie Walden

2003 MONTANA FOOTBALL - Outlook

(6-7, 275), and Colt Palmer (6-1, 230).

“Those four guys are really competing hard right now and vying for playing time,’’Hauck said. “I would say that all four made great progress in the spring, and they will give us some depth at a very physical position, which is what we really need.”

W ID E RECEIVER What a difference a year makes. Last sea­ son Montana did not have a wide receiver who had scored a collegiate touchdown. This year the Griz return seven of their top eight receivers, with the only loss being the gradu­ ated Rory Zikmund, who had 37 catches for 360 yards and two scores.

UM’s three leading receivers who return are Segars (51-628/2 TDs), a junior; sopho­ more Talmage (50-659/5); and junior Tate Hancock (37-593/6). They are followed by Waller (22-205/3), senior Dane Oliver (15-329/ 1), junior Tyler Peterson (15-171/1), and Molloy (14-180/1).

Junior Jefferson Heidelberger had an out­ standing spring and is a 2002 honors candi­ date, as are Hancock and Segars.

“This is a relatively deep group,” Hauck said. “They are small in stature, but they have the ability to make big plays. They understand our offense. They’re doing a great job of catch­ ing the ball and taking care of it once they do catch it. They also do a nice job of getting open and finding the holes in a zone defense, and in beating man coverage. We worked hard on getting off the ball versus press cov­ erage this past spring.

“It’s another position where we have some depth,” Hauck continued. “Several of our wide receivers are similar in physical stature, and the one guy who isn’t is Jon Talmage who presents a big target for our quarterbacks, which is a nice change-up.”

DEFENSE D EFEN SIVE END First team All-Big Sky selection Tim Bush (6-3,245) is back for his senior season, while 2001 first team all-leaguer Pitcher (6-3, 230) is back after red-shirting last year due to in­ jury.

Bush and Pitcher both missed spring drills.

Bush has a minor injury, while Pitcher was recovering from off-season surgery. Both play­ ers are expected to be at 100 percent by fall drills. They could be the best one-two punch at their position at the l-AA level, and both are pre-season All-Amercian nominees.

Last year Lance Spencer (6-4, 230) earned a starting role after Pitcher’s injury, and the redshirt freshman responded with 10 sacks and was an honorable mention all­ league pick. Bush was a first team all-league pick last year and led the Big Sky in sacks

with 13. Pitcher was among the Big Sky lead­ ers in sacks in 2001 with 11.

Senior Chris Connors (6-2,232) had a very good spring and will help here. Redshirt fresh­ man Mike Potts (6-4, 225) will also see play­ ing time.

“Those guys did a nice job this spring, and our two All-American candidates did not get any practice time,” Hauck said. “It was a great spring for our young guys, and it gave them a chance to learn and improve. They made a lot of progress. I’m hopeful that Tim and Ciche will be able to come back and carry the mail for the most part out there, but the young guys will be pushing for playing time, if not starting jobs. To have such good depth at end enables us to keep guys fresh, which is a huge deal for us.”

DEFEN SIVE TACKLE Junior Blake Horgan (6-3, 275) took over for the injured Varona last season and Horgan made the best of his opportunity, earning first team all-league honors. Horgan was UM’s top (tie) tackier in 2002 with 95 stops, includ­ ing nine for losses.

Fellow junior John Cahill (6-2, 270) was also exceptional with 60 tackles last year. Alan Saenz, a 6-2, 285-pound sophomore, adds quality depth at tackle or end. Sophomore Chris Orwig (6-5,260) is a solid player, and a couple of redshirt freshmen could contribute as well.

“I am excited about our defensive front,” Hauck said. “They’re a lot like our offensive front, and I expect them to be the core of our defense and a real strength. Like the offen­ sive line, we’ve got good depth at those posi­ tions. Over a 70 to 80-play game we can replace someone who gets tired, we can spell them with a fresh guy, and that is a big plus, especially late in a game. I think that makes everybody play better and more consistent in the long haul.”

LINEBA CKER “I was impressed with this group in the spring, and I thought Andy Thompson played better and more aggressively than last year,” Hauck said. “It could be a unit that is a strength for us, but I think the jury is still out a little bit on how they’re going to perform when the lights go on. They all run fairly well, and they are all solid tacklers. When you add those things up, it looks like a very solid position.”

The Griz return two starters at linebacker, led by honorable mention All-Big Sky pick Joel Robinson (5-11, 230), along with junior Adam Hoge (5-11, 215). Robinson, an hon­ ors candidate, was UM’s fourth-leading tack­ ier a year ago with 75 stops, and an honor­ able mention all-league choice. Hoge was Montana’s sixth-leading tackier with 65.

13

Thompson (6-3, 220), a three-year letterman, has started several games the past two seasons. Junior Nick Vella (6-2,204) over­ came injuries and contributed last year.

Sophomores Kyler Noel (6-1,214) and Shane MacIntyre (6-3, 222) are up-and-coming young linebackers.

Senior defensive back Brent Meyers, UM’s Special Teams Player of the Year in 2002, was moved to linebacker and had a banner spring, which made him a preseason honors candidate.

Much-heralded redshirt freshman Dustin Dlouhy (6-2, 217), who missed spring drills with illness, will be hard to keep out of the lineup.

SECONDARY CORNERBACK “Vernon Smith is a guy that we are count­ ing on to be a stopper for us out there,” Hauck said. He’s had some health issues, so you never know what’s going to happen there.

We need to not only develop a second cor­ ner, but also a good, solid back-up for Vernon.

We need depth at that position to play our nickel and dime defenses.

“With that being said, we need guys like Tuff Harris, Nate Adkins, Chris Polhemus, and Mike Rubieto keep making progress, and by late August to be game-ready,” Hauck con­ tinued.

Smith, a first team all-leaguer in 2002, the incumbent at one corner spot, missed spring drills after undergoing off-season surgery.

Harris (6-0, 185) and Adkins (5-8, 170), both redshirt freshmen, were moved from wide receiver to cornerback prior to 2003 spring drills, as was Polhemus (6-2, 200, sophomore). Rubie (5-11, 180) is a redshirt freshman.

SA FETY “We do need to find some answers at safety.” Hauck said. “We’re hoping that Kyle Scholle will come back off his injury and be one of the answers back there. It’s a volatile position, and you need to have some depth there.

Senior strong safety Dave DeCoite (6-1, 196) had 95 tackles a year ago, making him UM’s top-leading returning tackier (along with Horgan). DeCoite is an honors candi­ date this season and was a second team all­ conference pick last year.

At safety, sophomore Kevin Edwards (62, 195) and Tyler Thomas (6-0, 190) will vie for time. Kyle Scholle (6-0, 195) missed spring drills due to off-season surgery but is a proven player.

“Dave DeCoite has played some good football there for us, and Edwards and Tho­ mas both had good springs, and we’re count­ ing on those guys to have a big fall this year,” Hauck said.

Hauck said that a couple of UM’s incom­ ing freshmen could see action in the sec­ ondary.

K IC K E R /P U N T E R /R E T U R N E R S Two-time first team All-Big Sky kicker Chris Snyder (6-0, 204) is back for his senior sea­ son. Snyder made 19-of-32 field goals last season and made 50-of-50 PATs. He has made 92 PATs in a row and 96 of his last 97.

The Griz need to find a replacement for senior punter Mark Spencer.

“Chris may shoulder the load of being our punter and our kicker, we just don’t know at this point,” Hauck said. “He’s had a great career thus far, and if spring practice is any indication, I’d expect him to have the best year of his career this season.”

Segars and Heidelberger ranked among the league’s top return men last season.

“Levander and Jefferson have made big returns in the past, and this season should be no different,” Hauck said. “I am excited to see those guys get the ball. Those two guys have shown the ability to make big plays, and we’re expecting more out of them.”

2003 SCHEDULE

Sophomore safety Kevin Edwards.

2003 MONTANA FOOTBALL - Outlook

Montana opens at Maine, a team which was ranked seventh in The Sports Network’s final poll. That road trip east is followed by five consecutive home games (and an open date).

After the road trip east the Grizzlies open their home schedule and play the first of five games in a row at Washington Grizzly Sta­ dium, beginning with North Dakota State on September 6. The next contest is against Sam Houston State, followed by an open date. A home match-up with former Big Sky member Idaho is next, then the Griz host Cal Poly in their homecoming contest.

“Maine will be a good gauge for us to see where we are as a football team,” Hauck said.

“North Dakota State always plays tough, hard-nosed football and has several key re­ turnees. We played Sam Houston State in the l-AA playoffs recently, so we expect them to be a formidable opponent. The IdahoMontana game is an old rivalry and always a battle. Cal Poly is another team that returns a lot of starters, and they will be improved. I think our nonconference schedule is de­ manding and well-conceived.

“The five home games in a row are an interesting phenomenon, and you can say you’ve never heard of it before, except last year at Washington our team did that,” Hauck said. “I think we made some mistakes with how we approached it, and we have some ideas on what to do, how to combat the scheduling and howto keep from getting stale and continue to get better.”

The Griz open their Big Sky season at home against Weber State on October 11.

Other home conference games are against Portland State and Eastern Washington.

UM is on the road for four league home games against Idaho State, Northern Arizona, Sacramento State, and the 103rd meeting against Montana State.

Hauck said he thought the Big Sky could be as difficult as it’s ever been.

“I think that since Idaho and Boise State left the league a few years back, the league hasn’t seen the balance it’s going to see this year,” Hauck said. “There will be a bunch of teams vying for the conference champion­ ship.

“Obviously, with three teams (UM, Idaho State, Montana State) tying for the champi­ onship a year ago, all three should be ex­ pected to compete for it again, and I would throw Eastern Washington into that mix. NAU is always there, and Sac State, Portland State, and Weber State have played with us every year. It’s really tough to pick a pre­ season favorite, but I’m excited about the chance to go out and compete and see if we can come out on top.”

QUOTING COACH BOBBY HAUCK: “Chris, by his own ac­ count, had the best spring (2003) ever of his college career. One of the things that we talked about was not just hitting long field goals, but being consistent from the short to intermediate range.

We didn’t work on long field goals this spring, but short to interme­ diate all over the field, and he was money in the bank. I’m excited about the way he kicked off also. He may be our punter next year.

His field goal kicking experience is invaluable. ” YEAR 2000 2001 2002 TOTALS

The 2003-2004 athletic season marks the 41st year of the Big Sky Conference and, although still youthful in the world of NCAA Division I athletic conferences, The Sky has solidified itself as one of the stron­ gest leagues in the West as well as the nation.

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 Uni­ versity and Weber State University.

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 ninemember Big Sky Conference. The Univer­ sity 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 institu­ tions moved the league into a nine-member scenario for the second time. Cal State Northridge entered the conference in 1996 and left it in the spring of 2001.

The Big Sky conference sponsors cham­ pionships in 15 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, golf, basketball, ten­ nis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, in addition to football, women’s volley­ ball and soccer. The Big Sky is a NCAA Divi­ sion I member in all sports, with member institutions classified as l-AA in football.

The 2003-2004 athletic season marks the 15h year in which the Big Conference will sponsor championships in women’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, sponsoring championships for women’s athletics at the same institutions the Big Sky had sponsored men’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 written in 1947 by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., entitled The Big Sky. Jack Hallowell, former Montana advertis­ ing 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 Conference” in his col­ umn 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.

Commisioner of Media Relations, Ext, 16 Jaynee Nadolski, Information Director, Ext. 12 On July 1,1995, Doug Fullerton became the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Con­ ference. Fullerton replaced longtime com­ missioner Ron Stephenson, who retired af­ ter 14 years in the position. The first com­ missioner of the Big Sky was Jack Friel, who served from the league’s inception until 1971. After Friel, John Roning directed the conference for six years until 1977 when Steve Belko assumed the commissioner’s role. Belko was with the league for five years.

HEMPSTEAD, NY-Top-ranked Montana’s defense was domi­ nating, as UM defeated 15th-ranked Hofstra 21 -0. The Griz posted their first opening-season shutout since 1963. It was the first time Hofstra had been shut out since 1978, a streak of 255 games.

Senior wide receiver Rory Zikmund had his first career touch­ down with 9:03 left in the second quarter, scoring on an 8-yard touchdown pass from John Edwards. Edwards scored on TD runs of 1 and 7 yards. Freshman David Gober rushed 17 times for 104 yards in his debut. Trey Young led the defense with seven tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. The Griz defense forced four turnovers, including an interception by Vernon Smith.

The Pride managed 60 rushing yards and didn’t get inside the UM 25-yard line until their final drive. It was Montana’s 15th straight victory. Hofstra finished the season 5-6.

MISSOULA-Senior quarterback John Edwards passed for a ca­ reer-high 322 yards and three touchdowns as the Grizzlies cruised to their 16th straight win in front of a record crowd of 19,511 fans at Washington Grizzly Stadium. Six Grizzlies - David Gober, Conor Molloy, Dane Oliver, Levander Segars, Jon Talmage, and JR Waller - all scored their first career touchdowns. Segars returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown, UM’s first punt return for a score since 1996.

MISSOULA-The Grizzlies lost a 14-point fourth-quarter lead but rallied to beat the Hornets for their 24th straight victory. The win tied Penn’s all-time Division l-AA record for consecutive victories.

The Griz went to 10-0 overall and 5-0 in the Big Sky Conference.

Receiver Tate Hancock caught a 13-yard touchdown throw from John Edwards with 6:47 left to put Montana up for good. Edwards threw for 282 yards and three TDs, including a five-yarder to Rory Zikmund to tie the game 21-21 in the third quarter. Junior free safety Brent Meyers started the scoring for UM by blocking a punt and returning it 10 yards for a touchdown. UM scored again with 52 seconds left on a 34-yard field goal by Chris Snyder.

MISSOULA-The Griz had their 16-game winning streak over the Cats, dating back to the 1986 season, snapped on a cold, snowy, windy day in front of a Washington Grizzly Stadium record crowd of 19,879. Junior Adams hauled in a 53-yard touchdown pass from true freshman Travis Lulay with 10:10 to play in the third quarter to extend the Cats’ lead to 10-0. MSU took a 3-0 first-quarter lead on a 27-yard Nate Cook field goal. Montana narrowed the gap to 107 with 13:51 left when freshman running back David Gober scored on a 1-yard run. Griz quarterback John Edwards had a tough day, completing 1-of-19 first-half passes, and finished the day 8of-32 for 106 yards and an interception. Montana managed just 199 total yards. Lulay passed for 154 yardes and Ryan Johnson rushed for 140 to pace MSU. Montana State clinched a tie for the Big Sky Conference championship for the first time since 1984.

Griz Tie Division l-AA Win Streak in 2002 Griz Make Straight

Montana has been1ranked in The Sports 0 th Network’s top 25 for 140 of 143 weeks. The Playoff A p p e a r a n c e Grizzlies have been ranked in the top 10 In 2002 Montana remained among the 59 straight weeks, going back to the 1999 NCAA Division l-AA elite teams, as it made season. a record-tying 10th consecutive playoff ap­ pearance. The Griz have now tied Eastern 2001 National Kentucky for the most playoff appearances Montana won its second l-AA national in a row (10 straight from 1986-95).

Despite an injury-riddled season, the championship in 2001 thanks to a gritty Griz went 11 -3 overall in 2002 and finished performance by quarterback John Edwards, in a three-way tie with Idaho State and the running of Yohance Humphery, and a Montana State for the Big Sky Conference Herculean defensive effort, as the Griz de­ title with a 5-2 record. Montana earned an feated Furman University 13-6 in Chatta­ at-large berth into the playoffs, while MSU nooga, Tennessee.

Edwards engineered a 16-play, 99-yard received the league’s automatic berth via scoring drive for UM’s only touchdown in a tie-breaker system. the title game. Humphery gained 142 Montana then went on to defeat visiting R e c o r d t y in g

Northwestern State 45-14 in a first-round 2002 playoff game and then lost 24-20 at (then) top-ranked McNeese State (the run­ ner-up last season) in a quarter-final con­ test.

The Griz reeled off 10 consecutive victo­ ries to start the season and at one point were 10-0 overall and 5-0 in the conference.

One of the surprising things about the 10-0 start was that the team did not have one running back or wide receiver who had scored a touchdown in college. Not only was UM thin in experience at those crucial offensive positions, but the team was also hit hard by injuries.

Along with its 10-win skein, Montana also tied the l-AA record for consecutive wins with 24, beginning with a 30-0 home win in 2001 over Western Washington, end­ ing with a 30-21 loss to Eastern Washing­ ton in Spokane on November 16,2002. The Griz tied Pennsylvania (24 in a row, 199295) for the record.

UM also set the record for most consecu­ tive Big Sky wins with 25, as well as the most league road wins in a row with 13.

Both win streaks started in the 1999 sea­ son.

The Grizzlies have won 10 or more games seven times in the past 10 seasons and the last three successive years, dating back to 1993. Those double digit victori­ ous seasons are: 10-2 in 1993; 11-4 in 1994; 13-2 in 1995; 14-1 in 1996; 13-2 in 2000; 14-1 in 2001; and 11 -3 in 2002.

UM had been ranked number one in the nation by The Sports Network prior to the loss to EWU and finished 9th in the final poll.

Over the past 10 seasons, since 1993,

pass as time expired.

In 2001, the Griz amassed a schoolrecord 15 wins, going 15-1 overall and a perfect 7-0 in the Big Sky. Montana has been a preeminent team early in the new millennium, advancing to the quarterfinals last year, winning the na­ tional title two seasons ago, and was the runner-up in 2000.

The Griz have the most wins of any teams in the 2000s with 39. The past three sea­ sons UM has gone 39-6 (.867) overall and 20-2 (.909) in league.

Third-year head coach Joe Glenn com­ piled a record of 39-6 from 2000-02 before leaving Montana for the head job at Wyo­ ming. Soon after Glenn’s departure Bobby Hauck, an assistant coach at Washington and Colorado the previous eight seasons, was named the Grizzlies’ head coach.

UM’s 2002 three-way share of the Big Sky title was its seventh league champion­ ship in the past eight seasons. In the last nine years, the Griz have won or shared seven league titles and finished second the other two years.

Montana began the 2001 season ranked second in the nation by The Sports Net­ work and then moved up to first nine weeks into the season. They ended up as the topranked team after beating Furman and se­ curing the national crown.

That No. 1 ranking in the final poll in 2001 was the second time the Grizzlies finished in the top spot. UM was first in 1995 in The Sports Network’s final poll, following its national title over Marshall.

The Griz defense limited the Pala­ dins to 121 yards rushing (124 under their season average), and star halfback Louis Ivory gained just 33 yards on 12 carries.

UM’s defense forced three turnovers, and Furman’s sole score came on a Hail Mary

The 2002 season marked the 25th anni­ versary of NCAA Division l-AA football. The playoffs now include 16 teams. The first year, in 1978, four teams competed in the playoffs. In 1981 the playoffs went to eight teams. Six years later, in 1986, the division adopted its current 16-team format.

Montana has participated in 13 of l-AA’s 25 playoff tournaments. Those 13 playoff appearances tie the Grizzlies for the sec­ ond most in division history with Georgia Southern. The all-time leader is Eastern Kentucky, with 17 playoff berths.

The Griz (13-2) advanced to the cham­ pionship game for the third time in school history in 2000, playing Georgia Southern in Chattanooga, losing, 27-25.

second, gut-wrenching victory. That was Montana’s (9-3) third first-round playoff loss in a row.

About a week after the loss to Young­ stown State, Griz head coach Mick Dennehy left UM to become the mentor at Utah State.

Just a couple of weeks later Glenn left Divi­ sion II powerhouse Northern Colorado and was introduced as Montana’s 32nd head coach.

In ’98 Montana suffered its worst playoff loss in history, losing 52-9 at Western Illi­ nois.

In 1997 host McNeese State revenged a 1994 playoff loss (30-28) at Montana. The Cowboys beat the visiting Grizzlies 19-14 in the closing minutes of the contest in 1997.

Runners-Up in 1996

Senior tight end Brad Weston.

In the 2000 championship contest, start­ ing QB Drew Miller was injured late in the first quarter with a knee injury, and Edwards, a sophomore at the time, was forced into action. After trailing Georgia Southern 203 at halftime in a rain-soaked Finley Sta­ dium, the Griz took a 23-20 lead (their first and only) early in the fourth quarter on a short run by the record-setting Humphery.

However, that lead was short-lived as muchheralded Eagle halfback Adrian Peterson broke loose for a 57-yard touchdown on GU’s first play from scrimmage after Humphery’s TD run, and held off UM for the win.

In 1999, Montana made its seventh con­ secutive appearance in the playoffs, set­ ting a Big Sky record. The old mark of six straight was set by Idaho from 1985-90.

The Griz also hold the conference mark for most playoff berths. Former league mem­ ber Idaho competed 11 years in the play­ offs.

First Rounds However, the Griz suffered through a winning drought in the playoffs from 199799.

In a first-round 1999 playoff game in Missoula, the Griz hosted the Youngstown State Penguins. YSU eked out a 30-27 last-

2003 MONTANA FOOTBALL - NCAA Playoffs

All-American quarterback Dave Dickenson graduated in 1995 and moved to the Canadian Football League; beloved 10-year head coach Don Read had surpris­ ingly announced his retirement; and the Griz faithful were worried about the future of Montana football.

Not to worry. Montana did not have a letdown in 1996 - far from it. The Griz reeled off 14 straight wins and advanced to the title game, once again at Marshall. This time l-A transfers Eric Kresser and Randy Moss were too much, as Marshall rolled to a 4929 victory. That contest marked the first time in playoff history that two 14-0 teams had squared off for the l-AA crown.

In that losing effort at Marshall, Griz quar­ terback Brian Ah Yat set playoff standards for pass completions (36, which is also a team record) and total plays (67), while wide receiver Joe Douglass set the record for receptions with 13 (for 117 yards). Moss set the marks for receiving yards (220) and touchdown catches (4).

UM established the team record for the most first downs with 31 and most total plays (90) in its 1996 championship game against Marshall.

1995 Championship Season The Grizzlies won their first national championship in 1995 with a last-second, come-from-behind victory (22-20) over host Marshall. A playoff-record crowd of 32,106 attended the game.

UM had returned just 12 starters in 1995, but it looked like a team of destiny.

Dickenson and the Grizzlies were unstop­ pable. Dickenson passed for 1,219 yards

and 11 touchdowns in UM’s first three play­ off wins 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 scoring drive, which culminated with a 25yard field goal by Andy Larson with 39 sec­ onds left to go, and Montana had eked out an improbable 22-20 win in a hostile set­ ting. The key play in the winning drive came on a fourth-and-three from the 50yard line, as Dickenson hit wide receiver Mike Erhardt on a short slant pass for a 20yard gain and crucial first down. Senior re­ ceiver Matt Wells had two touchdown catches forUM. The 1995 Grizzly team still holds playoff records for first downs (125), pass comple­ tions (137), pass attempts (197), and pass­ ing yards (1,703).

Pre-1995 UM suffered a last-second 49-48 firstround home loss to Delaware in 1993, its only (at that time) home loss in the play­ offs.

The letdown Montana felt in its last-sec­ ond first-round playoff loss to Delaware in 1993 turned to elation the next year. The Grizzlies squeaked by Northern Iowa 2320 in their 1994 tournament opener and then beat McNeese State on a game-end­ ing field goal by Larson, winning 30-28.

Dickenson was injured early in the McNeese win and was unable to play in the subsequent semifinal game, a 28-9 loss at Youngstown State. However, UM’s play­ ers and coaches knew that they were close to reaching the pinnacle of l-AA and got there the following year by winning the championship.

Griz Part of Elite Teams

The Grizzlies were among the division’s elite teams in the 90’s, going 93-32 for 74.4 percent, the third best winning percentage of that decade. Dayton led the way (92-17 for 84.4%), followed by Youngstown State (103-30 for 77.0%).

Before its current 10 straight years in the playoffs, Montana had been in the na­ tional tournament on three occasions. UM’s first playoff berth was in 1982, which ended in a 21-7 loss at Idaho, while its second was six years later, in 1988, with a 38-19 loss once again at Idaho.

Griz Host First Playoff Ever UM’s third berth in 1989 proved to be a watermark for the Grizzlies as they hosted their first ever playoff game, beating Jack­ son State 48-7. UM then advanced past the opening round for the first time and beat visiting Eastern Illinois 25-19. Montana played eventual national champion Geor­ gia Southern in Statesboro in a semifinal game, losing 45-15.

Vince Huntsberger’s 10 total tackles, fumble recovery, and interception helped UM win the 2001 national title vs. Furman.

Birthplace and hometown of author Norman McLean, who wrote A River Runs Through It, Missoula is also known as the “Garden City” for its dense trees and lush green landscape. Missoula is nestled in the heart of the Northern Rockies in western Montana.

A community of approximately 66,000 residents, Missoula lies in a mountain forest setting where five valleys converge. Missoula is Montana’s most culturally diverse city. It is 140 miles from Glacier National Park and 270 miles from Yellowstone National Park.

The search for gold in the West and the completion of the Mullan Road, which opened up travel from Fort Benton, Mont., to Walla Walla, Wash., brought people to the valley in 1860. Missoula be­ gan as a settlement called Hell Gate when C.P. Higgins and Francis Worden began a trading post to accommodate the travelers. The settlement was later renamed Missoula, taken from a Salish Flat­ head 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 Native American tribes. Today the Fort Missoula Museum remains a testament to the West.

Missoula offers a variety of recreational opportunities. 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, which flows adjacent to The University of Montana campus. Rock Creek, known for its blue ribbon trout fishing, is just a 20-minute drive from Missoula.

Fly fishermen, rafters, kayakers, and canoers thrive on the wa­ ters of western Montana. Flathead Lake, the largest natural fresh­ water lake in the western United States, is just 70 miles north of Missoula. Seeley Lake, Georgetown Lake, Placid Lake and Salmon Lake are an hour away.

Hiking, biking, camping, rock climbing, and hang gliding are a few activities enjoyed in western Montana. Mount Sentinel, Mount Jumbo, Lolo Peak, and Blue Mountain offer beautiful vistas. Blue Mountain Recreation Area, Pattee Canyon Recreation Area, and the Rattlesnake National Wilderness Area are nearby. The Bitterroot-Selway Wilderness Area, Bob Marshall Wilderness Area, the Mission Mountains, and the Seeley-Swan Range are a short drive from Missoula.

Missoula abounds with skiing opportunities. Snowbowl Ski Area is a 20-minute drive from downtown Missoula and features a con­ tinuous vertical drop of 2,600 feet, one of the steepest in the coun­ try. Marshall Ski Area, a short 10-minute drive from downtown, features night skiing and offers a good student program. Big Moun­ tain, Discovery, Lookout, Lost Trail, and Silver Mountain ski areas, all within close proximity to western Montana, provide a variety of options for skiers.

Other area attractions include “A Carousel for Missoula” (one of the first fully hand-carved carousels to be built in America since the Great Depression), Garnet Ghost Town, the National Bison Range, the Ninemile Remount Depot and Ranger Station, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Wildlife Visitor Center, and the Smokejumper Visitor Center.

Missoula Parks and Recreation and the YMCA provide a variety of recreational opportunities in basketball, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball, and ice skating.

Missoula also serves as a center for education, health care, retail, and the arts. The University of Montana provides educa­ tional opportunities for more than 13,000 college students. Com­ munity Medical Center and St. Patrick Hospital, along with many clinics, make Missoula one of the state’s premier health care com­ munities.

The Missoula community supports the arts in all its forms: the­ ater productions, dance, art, and music. The Missoula Children’s Theater, founded in 1970, moved into a renovated building near campus and produces plays and musicals by national and local playwrights for both adults and children. The theater also has an International Tour Project, taking theatrical productions to audi­ ences outside the Missoula area. The Garden City Ballet and Missoula Symphony, which is in its 50th season, bring performances and concerts to the community year round. The Art Museum of Missoula, located in downtown Missoula, sponsors changing ex­ hibits and also has a permanent collection that focuses on West­ ern contemporary art.

One of the most desirable places to live in the United States, western Montana has become an attractive residence for those looking for pristine beauty and serenity. Even some of America’s famous people, such as Liz Claiborne, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Phil Jackson, and Charlie Sheen, have made western Montana their home.

American Heritage Magazine selected Missoula as the 1999 Great American Place, and Sunset Magazine selected Missoula as the “Best Community” in the West in 1999, and, according to the September 2001 issue of Outside Magazine, Missoula was selected as one of 10 “dream towns” in America.

Missoula is easily accessible by either Interstate 90 from the east and west or by Highway 93 to the north and south. Missoula International Airport has a number of flights daily in and out of Missoula by the major airlines Delta, Northwest, United, and Hori­ zon. Big Sky Airline also lands in Missoula several times a day. It serves throughout Montana, Spokane, Wash., North Dakota and Denver.

President George M. Dennison George Dennison, the 16th president of The University of Mon­ tana, begins his 14th year at the University.

He served on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors from 19972000, and chaired the Big Sky Conference Presidents’ Council during 1992-93.

Dennison, a Montanan, came to UM from Kalamazoo, Mich., where he served as the Provost and Vice President for Aca­ demic Affairs of Western Michigan Univer­ sity from 1987 to 1990. In earlier years, he spent time at the Universities of Arkansas and Washington before working 18 years at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

At Colorado State he started as a his­ tory professor, then served in numerous other positions. He simultaneously held the positions of Associate Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences and Associate Dean of the Graduate School for International Development Stud­ ies. He also served as Acting Academic Vice President, Associate Academic Vice Presi­ dent and Director of Admissions and Records.

A historian by training, Dennison re­ ceived his bachelor’s degree with high hon­ ors 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 Univer­ sity of Washington in 1967. He has written numerous publications and made several professional presentations in both history and higher education.

Dennison serves on a number of boards.

He chairs the Montana Commission on Community Service and serves on the Board of the International Heart Institute Foundation of Montana, the Community Medical Center Advisory Committee, the Montana Campus Compact Executive Committee, the Board of Directors of the International Student Exchange Program, the Neuroscience Institute, and the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation.

George and his wife Jane have two sons, Rick and Robert. Rick played college foot­ ball at Colorado State then joined the Den­ ver Broncos. He played linebacker for Den­ ver for nine years and now serves as the offensive line coach. Robert teaches math and computer programming in Tecumseh, Kansas, and coaches football, wrestling, and track. The Dennisons have four grand­ children.

The University of Montana was the state’s first college. Chartered on February 17,1893, the school opened its doors to its first 50 students. More than 100 years later, The Uni­ versity of Montana is the center of liberal arts education 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 institu­ tion recaptured its original name, The Uni­ versity of Montana. In 1988 Western Montana College in Dillon became part of UM, and in 1994, the Montana Board of Regents ap­ proved a restructuring plan to create two uni­ versities within the Montana University Sys­ tem. The University of Montana also includes The University of Montana-Western, Montana Tech in Butte; The University of Montana-Helena, College of Technology; and The Univer­ sity of Montana College of Technology in Missoula.

The University of Montana provides a high-quality, well-rounded education to stu­ dents and a wide range of services to Mon­ tanans. UM is a major source of research, continuing education, economic develop­ ment, civic engagement, fine arts and enter­ tainment, and serves as a driving force in strengthening Montana’s ties with countries throughout the world.

UM’s Missoula campus comprises the College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School, the Davidson Honors College, the College of Technology, and seven profes­ sional schools: business administration, edu­ cation, fine arts, forestry, journalism, law, and pharmacy and allied health sciences. The Uni­ versity of Montana also has an excellent physi­ cal therapy department and offers two-year programs in business, trades and industry, and technical and health occupations.

UM continues to grow with 13,058 stu­ dents. The student body is 53 percent female and 47 percent male. Last year Montana en­ rolled 381 foreign students from 76 countries.

Located at the base of Mount Sentinel and on the banks of the Clark Fork River, the 200acre campus is one of the most beautiful in the nation.

Campus life offers a variety of choices for the UM student. Dormitory living provides nine halls with various options on campus.

Elrod Hall is the men’s dorm; Turner Hall is the women’s 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 hous­ ing can be found just three blocks south of the main campus in University Villages. Stu­ dents interested in the Greek life have four sororities and seven fraternities from which to choose.

2003 MONTANA FOOTBALL - The University of Montana

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 that features numerous classes and programs and has been upgraded recently. The Fitness and Rec­ reation Center, adjacent to the Adams Center, has undergone a major renovation. Finished in Fall 2001, it provides the campus commu­ nity with three levels of state-of-the-art exer­ cise equipment, racquetball, handball and basketball courts, and a two-story glass-en­ closed climbing wall, “the wall with a view.”

The Outdoor Program provides opportu­ nities for the campus community to partici­ pate in recreational activities such as rafting, kayaking, climbing, hiking, backpacking and skiing.

UM owns and operates Lubrecht Experi­ mental Forest, a 28,000-acre teaching and re­ search forest, Located approximately 30 miles northeast of Missoula, Lubrecht Forest provides the opportunity for students to learn tree thinning and harvesting techniques in ad­ dition to working on forest and ecological projects.

The Flathead Lake Biological Station, lo­ cated at Yellow Bay on the east side of the lake, is a year-round research facility and aca­ demic center for the ecological sciences. The freshwater research laboratory encompasses 80 acres.

UM also has had 47 international Fulbright Scholars, nine Truman Scholars, 10 Goldwater Scholars and 28 Rhodes Schol­ ars.

The University was listed among the top 25 universities and colleges in the nation for Peace Corps recruiting and is profiled in America's 100 Best College Buys and Barron’s Best Buys in College Education.

Four track athletes advanced to the 2003 NCAA outdoor national championships: Dane Brubaker in the javelin, Cordeiro in the hammer throw, Dunn in the long jump, and Krings in the heptathlon.

Athletic facilities at Montana have im­ proved dramatically over the last few years.

A $14.3 million renovation to the field house, the Adams Center, features two auxiliary gyms, a major facelift of the Dahlberg Arena, a new weight center, an athletic treatment center, locker rooms, and an academic center for student-athletes.

The Washington Grizzly football stadium underwent an expansion prior to the 2003 football season, and will now accommo­ date 23,117 fans. (Please see pages 104105 for more info on the stadium).

Dornblaser Field, located on UM’s south campus, went through a complete refur­ bishing in the spring of 2002, 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 fullyfenced venue, scoreboard, remodeled locker rooms, and seating for 1,000 fans.

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, adjacent to Adams Cen­ ter, 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, a juice bar and sandwich counter, and is located on four floors.

Grizzly athletes receive outstanding support services in the areas of academ­ ics, athletic treatment, equipment, financial aid, and sports information.

The Home of the Grizzlies The University of Montana Grizzlies have been playing in Wash­ ington Grizzly Stadium/John Hoyt Field since the mid-way point of the 1986 season, and since that time the Griz have racked up an impressive 104-14 (.881) record.

The Griz have won 23 of their past 25 home games. Since the middle of the 1992 season, Montana has been victorious in 73 of 80 contests, a winning percentage of .913.

In 2002, Montana was ranked third in the nation among Divi­ sion l-AA schools, averaging 19,044 fans in eight home games.

Last season UM set an all-time attendance record of 19,879 in the 102nd Griz-Cat game.

Of Montana’s eight home contests last season, five of them rank in the top six for all-time attendance in Washington Grizzly Stadium. (See box on page105).

Montana reeled off 30 straight victories beginning at the start of the 1994 season to Oct. of 1997. That win skein is the fifth longest home winning streak in Division l-AA history.

The first game played in the stadium was on October 18,1986, the Grizzlies registering a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State.

The Dream Comes True The long-time dream of an on-campus football facility was initi­ ated in August of 1985, as Missoula businessman Dennis R. Wash­ ington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million. In December of 1985, excavation crews began work. In recognition of the gift by Washington and his company, UM’s new facility was named Washington Grizzly Stadium.

The playing surface is 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 by 402 feet from endto-end.

In conjunction with the building of the stadium, additional park­ ing and practice fields were built. The Grizzlies are able to practice

2003 MONTANA FOOTBALL - Washington Grizzly Stadium

on the campus on an area which has the dimensions of four fullsize football fields. A 200-space parking lot south of the stadium was also added.

There are 48 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium. They are individually decorated and furnished by their respective owners.

The press box located above the private 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 Homebuilders Association built the press box, primarily with volunteer labor.

Former Montana President Neil Bucklew, former Athletic Direc­ tor Harley Lewis, and the board of directors of the UM Foundation were all instrumental in the construction of the stadium.

Stadium Expansions

* I

The stadium was first expanded in the spring of 1995 with end zone seating on both the north and south sides, and a few more addtional seats were added in 2002, bringing the capacity to 19,005. Prior to the 1995 expansion there were 12,500 perma­ nent seats. (When the grass end zones were available, the capac­ ity was approximately 15,000).

A public address system was added for the 1996 season. The system provides a maximum of 103 decibels at each seat, as well as in each private suite.

New men’s locker rooms, cover more than 4,000 square feet, housing football, basketball, track and cross country were also added and are located below the entry level on the west side of the stadium.

When Adams Center, which is adjacent to the stadium, was renovated in 1999, a new 7,000 square foot weight room, a 4,500 square foot athletic treatment center, the Jacobson Academic Cen­ ter and meeting room with big screen videos were added. In addi-

tion, a new women’s locker room covering 4,000 square feet, a 3,200 square foot equipment center, and three new meeting rooms totaling 2,000 square feet were added.

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. The field was named ‘Uohn Hoyt Field” at the request of the anonymous donor, in honor of a long-time Griz­ zly booster.

For the 2002 season, Griz Vision was added, featuring a state of the art message center which features game statistics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The Griz Vision screen is the largest in Division l-AA, measuring 26 feet by 36 feet and was brought in from Times Square in New York City.

The facility underwent its second expansion this past spring and summer, as approximately 4,000 seats were added on to the north end zone section of Washington Grizzly Stadium, which increased the capacity to 23,117.

Rhinehart Athletic Training Center

Completed in the fall of 1999, the newlyremodeled Rhinehart Athletic Training Cen­ ter boasts 7,200 square feet of space and includes an enlarged rehabilitation area.

Also included are athletic trainers’ offices, six hydrotherapy units and a consulting of­ fice where nutritionists and doctors can meet with athletes. There are also class­ rooms for the athletic training curriculum.

J.C. Weida, an assistant certified ath­ letic trainer, serves as the primary contact for the Grizzly football team. He is in his eigth year at Montana.

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 train­ ing staff works together with the Athletic Performance staff to monitor the studentathlete’s strengthening exercises. Once 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, flexibil­ ity, taping and strengthening exercises.

Montana has a well-established athletic training curriculum which allows instructors to work directly with the student-athletes.

For more information and a virtual tour of the RATC, go to the RATC web site: mon-tana grizzlies.com/umgriz/stadiums_and_facilities/ ratc.htm.

Athletic Performance Center As part of the recent renovation to the Adams Center, a 7,000-square foot Athletic Performance Center was created. The current facility is approximately twice as large as the previous weight room used in the Adams Center over the years.

The new center, which is home to the Griz student-athletes, is geared to enhance the overall athletic per­ formance of the teams.

The Athletic Per­ formance Center staff designs, implements and evaluates strength and condi­ tioning programs for all Grizzly athletes.

Sport-specific weight training, coupled with movement-specific Lacey Degnan Strength and Conditioning Coach Lacey Degnan is in his fifth year at The Univer­ sity of Montana and his first year as the director of the Athletic Performance Center. He served four years as the assistant director of the center.

An Athens, Georgia, native, Degnan earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Berry Col­ lege in Rome, Georgia, in 1996. He then com­ pleted an internship with the Miami Dolphins, in addition to spending two summers as a volun­ teer at the University of Georgia.

Degnan worked as a graduate assistant for football and was the head baseball strength and conditioning coach at the University of Nebraska in its athletic performance center from 1998-99 before com­ ing to Montana. He is Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches’ Association Certified (C.S.C.C.).

conditioning, results in a greater overall training effect that transfers to the field or court during the season.

Lifting is also a focus dur­ ing the season. The studentathletes focus on several base lifts to maintain their strength levels during the long and grueling season. It is a comprehensive ap­ proach to training and pro­ vides the athletes with the stimuli they need to maximize their performance. The Ath­ letic Performance Center is to be as sport specific as possible, and the program is scientifically based and intended to increase one’s athleticism, as well as de­ crease an athlete’s suscepti­ bility to injury.

Leah M eier Asst. Strength and Conditioning Coach Leah is in her first year as an assistant strength and conditioning coach under the direction of Lacey Degnan. She was a member of the Univer­ sity of Montana Lady Griz basketball team from 1997-2001 and a student assistant in the weight room her last year of school.

W a y n e Hogan Athletic Montana Athletic Director Wayne Hogan, who is beginning his eighth year at the helm, has indoctrinated Griz fans to the constant 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.

The 48-year-old native Floridian has an association with intercollegiate athletics for more than 26 years. Hogan has known nothing but victories and championships.

Hogan’s seven-year stint has included two football National Championships and a myriad of conference titles and NCAA ap­ pearances. He solidified his commitment to Montana and l-AA Football by accepting a four-year appointment to the powerful eight-member NCAA l-AA Football Commit­ tee in 2000. Meanwhile, physical improve­ ments and additions to the athletic facili­ ties at Montana have been all-encompass­ ing since his arrival.

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 Confer­ ence.

Since his arrival in Missoula, the suc­ cess 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 84-18 record since his arrival at mid-season in 1995. Four times the Grizzlies have ap­ peared in the l-AA National Championship game, bringing home titles in 1995 and 2001. Hogan counts seven Big Sky Confer­ ence football championships, and Grizzly teams have been in the l-AA playoffs every year. Other sports have flourished as well.

On two occasions, 1996 and 1999, UM won conference championships 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.

Prior to 1995, outright gifts to athletics at UM for more than $10,000 were virtually non-existent. By comparison, in the last three years, individual benefactors have provided 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 completion of the athletic offices that bear his name; a donation of more than $500,000 from Mark and Anne Timmons of Missoula for a complete overhaul of the Dornblaser Track complex; and a collective gift approaching $300,000 raised by the National Advisory Board for Grizzly Athlet­ ics to design and construct the Hall of Champions, a display of Grizzly memora­ bilia and history to adorn the south con­ course at Adams Center.

Hogan’s personnel moves have also been highly visible. Early on, he was saddled with the responsibility to replace the leg­ endary 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 l-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 per­ fect fit for UM. His 39-7 record and 2001 national title 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 hia­ tus. Nikki Best, top recruiter and assistant

Most recently, Hogan coerced Pat Kennedy, a winner of 400 plus Division I basketball games at Iona, Florida State, DePaul and Montana, to take up residency in Missoula - a move that shook the bas­ ketball world and put Montana squarely in the national basketball spotlight. Kennedy is one of the most successful men’s bas­ ketball coaches ever to work in the Big Sky Conference.

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 baseball teams as a broadcaster and pub­ lic relations specialist. He spent one year in Charleston, W.Va., with the Houston Astros AAA farm club before moving to Al­ buquerque and a stint with the Los Ange­ les Dodgers Triple A affiliate. While in Albu­ querque, Hogan was coaxed back into col­ lege athletics, becoming the assistant sports information and marketing director at the University of New Mexico. He re­ turned to Florida State in 1982 as the school’s sports information director. Hogan was promoted to assistant athletic director in 1992 and became the interim athletic director 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 was also instrumental in the Washington Griz­ zly Stadium expansion in 2003, which added an additional 4,000 seats to the sta­ dium on the north end zone, taking the seat­ ing to 23,117.

Wayne is married to the former Dawn Dewberry of Treasure Island, Fla., and they have three children, Lindsay, Kelly and J.P., an eighth-grader at Meadow Hill School in Missoula.

Professional scouts should contact Montana’s Media Relations Office (406-2436899) one week in advance of the game to obtain a press box pass. Seating is very limited in Washington Grizzly Stadium and if space is unavailable, scouts may need to purchase a game ticket. Scouts who purchase a ticket will be given a credential for press box access, where game notes and statistics will be available.

Fall Practice

Postgame Interviews

*

Fall practice begins Tuesday, August 5, when freshman and newcomers report. The first practice for those players will take place Wednesday, August 6 at the North Campus practice fields, located on Higgins and South Avenues. Full varsity practice starts Saturday, August 9 at the North Campus practice fields. Practice is held twice a day (although this is subject to change) for the first two weeks at 8:30 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. Regular-season practice time is 3:15 Monday through Friday (Sunday off) at the Riverbowl Field, which is kitty-corner to Adams Center. Friday practices during the season are closed. Video and still photography is restricted to the first 30 minutes of practice. Out-of-town media please call Media Relations Director Dave Guffey about access. Annual “Grizzly Media Day” is Saturday, August 23, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at Washington Grizzly Stadium.

The postgame interview room is located in the Media Work Room in Adams Center (which is located on the same level as the ticket office windows by the stairwell to your right), in Room 100U (the Media Relations office complex). Normal protocol (with the consent of the visiting team) has the visiting team’s head coach and selected players coming first to the interview room, approximately 10 minutes after the game. Media members will be polled with about five minutes left in the game to request specific athletes from each team for the interview room. The visiting Sports Information Director or a representative from UM’s Media Relations Office will escort the visiting head coach and players from their lockerroom to the interview room. As per Big Sky Conference rules, lockerrooms are closed to the media.

Interview Policy Please contact the Media Relations Office for ALL interview requests. It would be helpful to have 24 hours notice so that the media relations staff has ample time to make arrangements with players and coaches. Student-athletes are typically avail­ able before or after practice Monday through Wednesday on a first-come, firstserved basis. Quarterbacks are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only. Stu­ dent-athletes will be available on a limited by-appointment basis only on Thurs­ days. Athletes are not available for interviews on Friday or Saturday prior to game time. Head Coach Bobby Hauck will conduct interviews with the electronic media during the pre-practice period and with beat reporters following practice, or at pre­ scheduled times.

Postgame Media Work Area Media members may work in the press box following games but are encouraged to use the Media Work Room, the site of postgame interviews. The work room has phone lines to use for filing. Restroom facilities and soft drinks are also available.

Final game statistics will be distributed in the Media Work Room. Coach and

player quotes w ill be provided if requested prior to the game.
