S E AS ON OUT LOOK Blake Beard (76) and Corey Meyer (50) make up part of an experienced group of offensive linemen that will ease the process of breaking in a new quarterback in 2014.

most glaring of which is finding a replacement for four-year starting quarterback and 2014 Iowa Conference Offensive MVP, Taylor Nelson. Enter Dylan Berkey. A senior, Berkey has patiently waited for his opportunity, sitting behind Nelson on the depth chart for the last three seasons. Although he’s taken limited snaps in varsity games, Glogowski has confidence in his knowledge of the offense and decision making ability.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS One second. One play. That was all that stood between the 2013 Simpson Storm football team and a share Iowa Conference Championship. Unfortunately for the Storm and head coach Jim Glogowski, one second was all Buena Vista needed to spoil a dream season for the Storm, who were in search of their first conference title since 1997.

second place in the league standings each of the last two seasons. “It’s disappointing [the way last season ended], but, glass half full, we were there,” he said. “The last two seasons you can make the argument that we were the second best team in the league.” OFFENSE With a new year comes new challenges, the

“He knows where to go with the football, it’s just a matter of doing it,” Glogowski said. “He’s done it in practice, he’s done it in the offseason, now we get to see if he can do it in a game.” The first-year starter should have a smooth transition to varsity football thanks to a big, experienced offensive line in front of him, a deep stable of running backs and a talented receiving corps. Second team all-conference center Corey Meyer anchors an offensive line that went from being a question mark entering 2013 to the team’s top

“It was a tough pill to swallow, but it was our own fault,” Glogowski said. “It wasn’t even the one or two seconds left, it was the plays leading up that cost us the game.” Despite a disappointing penultimate game in an otherwise memorable season, the Storm went on to beat Luther in the season finale and finish 7-3, good enough for sole possession of second place in the Iowa Conference. Glogowski – entering his seventh year at Simpson in 2014 – has plenty of reason to be optimistic about the future. After enduring a 5-15 stretch from 2009-10, Simpson has steadily risen up the ranks in the Iowa Conference. The team won five games in 2011 and six in 2012 before last year’s 7-3 campaign. Glogowski’s team has earned at least a share of

Clay Finley was a second team all-conference defensive end in 2013 after leading the team with 4.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss.

S E AS ON OUT LOOK strength in 2014. Including Meyer, Simpson’s roster boats five players who started a game in 2013. In addition to Meyer’s eight games at center, 6-5, 270-pound Blake Bergstrom started all 10 games at left tackle, 6-2, 290-pound Nat Christian started nine games at left guard and 6-2, 285-pound Blake Beard started nine games at right guard. “I’m looking forward to the offensive line gelling,” Glogowski said. “Those guys have all played in big-time environments where there is a lot on the line. They know what to do.” The big, experienced offensive line is ready to pave the way for a deep group of running backs, led by sophomore Jordan Beem. Beem ran for 482 yards in his rookie campaign, the most of any Simpson player not named Taylor Nelson. Senior and team captain Ethan Calvert will be the thunder to Beem’s lightning, as the 210-pound senior will be the top short-yardage option for the Storm. Senior Tyler Kenny, the scat-back of the group, is the only player on the roster with a 100-yard rushing game to his credit. The top receiving option for Berkey coming back in 2014 is Nate Connealy. A senior and team captain, Connealy was an honorable mention all-conference pick last season and looks to build upon his 32 catches and 418 yards. With Connealy in the slot, Walker Holland (16 catches, 181 yards, 1 touchdown) and Corbin Clark (7 catches, 182 yards, 3 touchdowns) are the key returners on the outside.

DEFENSE On the defensive side of the ball, it all starts with the men in the trenches, and Simpson has a pair of impact players in senior captains Clay Finley and Alex Severn. Finley was a second team all-conference performer at defensive end in 2013 and Severn led the defensive line in tackles from his spot on the inside. The duo combined for 16 tackles for loss and eight sacks last year. The linebackers will be led by senior Brandon Abernathy. Abernathy started all 10 games for the storm last season, making 65 tackles and eight tackles for loss. He and fifth-year senior Joe Gilson will lead a unit that may appear to be in transition from the outside.

the outside, but they are names that are familiar to me,” Glogowski said. “These guys have been in the program and now they are getting their chance to perform.” That will also be the case in the defensive backfield, where three of four starters graduated. The lone returning starter is corner Reid Ryan, who tied for the team lead with two interceptions and broke up five passes last season. SPECIAL TEAMS The most notable returner for the Storm on special teams is kicker/punter, Logan Klein. A two-time Iowa Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for his punting prowess, Klein will likely handle all of the kicking duties for the Storm in 2014. The senior came into his own in the final game of the season, pinning Luther inside the 20 five times, including twice at its own 1 and once at the 4. He is 3-for-7 in field goal attempts throughout his career, all coming during his sophomore season in 2012. “If he picks up where he left off last year, he’ll be an all-conference type of player,” Glogowski said.

Sophomore Jordan Beem (24) hopes to have more holes like this to run through in 2014 as the Storm look to feature a prominent running attack.

With the departure of game-breaking returner Brad Vogel, look for a few new faces to try their hand at returning kicks in 2014. Beem and Clark are the top candidates to replace Vogel, who closed his career as Simpson’s career leader in kick return yardage.

HEAD COACH | 7TH SEASON | 30-30 RECORD AT SIMPSON

When Jim Glogowski came to Simpson in 2008, he brought a sense of excitement and enthusiasm to the school’s football program. Leading a passionate coaching staff, Glogowski has the pieces in place to bring the Storm back to prominence. Glogowski completed his sixth season as Simpson’s head coach in 2013, leading the Storm to a 7-3 record and a second-place finish in the Iowa Conference. The 31st head coach in program history, Glogowski owns an overall record of 30-30. Going into the 2014 season, he is ranked fourth in school history in career wins. In 2012 he added the role of defensive coordinator in addition to his head coaching duties. The 2013 season was a memorable one for Glogowski and the Storm. Simpson went 7-3 overall, 5-2 in the Iowa Conference and finished the season in sole possession of second place. Simpson won five games when trailing or tied in the fourth quarter or overtime and boasted the league’s offensive MVP in quarterback Taylor Nelson. Simpson moved into a tie for first in the conference with a dramatic 50-46 win over Dubuque in Week 8, but a last-second touchdown by

Buena Vista in Week 9 moved the Storm to second. Glogowski and the Storm started the 2012 season 5-1, including wins over rivals Wartburg (20-19) and Central (2118). Simpson suffered a three-game skid in the middle of the season, but closed the year with a win over Luther to give Simpson its best record since 2008 and finish in a tie for second in the Iowa Conference standings. After starting the 2011 season 0-3, the Storm won five of their last seven games. Included in the run was a thrilling 38-37 overtime win over then-No. 19 Wartburg in Waverly. Simpson made up a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit in the win, its first over Wartburg since 1997. In his debut season of 2008, Glogowski delivered the first winning season in four years, as the Storm posted a 7-3 record in finishing third in the conference. The seven wins marked the most by a Simpson first-year head coach since Lloyd Dean led Simpson to a 7-3 record in 1931. Simpson posted the best total offense and total defense in the Iowa Conference in the process. Glogowski came to Simpson from the University of South Dakota, where he spent four seasons with the Coyotes. From 2006 to 2007, Glogowski served as the team’s defensive coordinator, guiding Division II’s fifth-best run defense in 2006. Prior to joining the South Dakota staff, Glogowski was the defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Allegheny College (Pa.) from 2001-03. From 2000 to 2001, Glogowski was special teams coordinator and outside linebacker coach at Clarion University (Pa.). Prior to that he was special teams coordinator and inside linebacker coach at Allegheny from 1998-2000, a graduate assistant at Augustana College (S.D.) in 1997-98 and a student assistant at South Dakota in 1996.

A four-year starter for the Coyotes at strong safety and linebacker, Glogowski earned Don Hansen Football Gazette All-America Honors in 1995 after a season in which he had 91 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 5.5 quarterback sacks and an interception. He was also voted the North Central Conference Most Valuable Defensive Back in 1995. He earned All-Conference honors in 1995 and was honorable mention All-Conference in 1993 and 1994. Glogowski and son Ben celebrate a homecoming win over Cornell in 2011.

JAY SIMMONS COLLEGE PRESIDENT

Simpson College began its next generation of success when Jay Simmons took office in June 2013. He is the college’s 23rd president, succeeding the eight-year tenure of John Byrd. A native of Muscle Shoals, Ala., Simmons came to Simpson from Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant. He impressed the Simpson community with his proven leadership capability, broad academic experience, fund-raising success, ability to face challenges, work ethic and open and collaborative management style. “Dr. Simmons will bring to Simpson College exactly the right set of skills necessary to build on the momentum created by John Byrd’s eight years of leadership,” said Fred Hubbell, Chair of the Simpson Board of Trustees. “Simpson is in an enviable position of strength,” he added. “The addition of its leading edge curriculum, a near record enrollment and several major capital improvement projects

provide an excellent platform for Dr. Simmons to put his experience and expertise to work on behalf of the entire campus and the extended Simpson family.” Simmons holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Birmingham-Southern College, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa. He holds Master’s and Doctorate degrees in political science from the University of Alabama. He and his wife, Jenne’, have two children, Samantha, who works for a graphic design company in Indianola, and Madison, a high school sophomore. At Iowa Wesleyan College, Simmons helped restructure enrollment, advancement and the college’s educational programs. He also led the college’s transition from a member

BRIAN NIEMUTH DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

A benchmark for success in the Simpson athletic department as the women’s basketball coach, Brian Niemuth added the role of athletic director when he graduated from the interim tag in July 2013. Simpson President Jay Simmons made the announcement following Niemuth’s five-month appointment as the interim athletic director. “This is one of my first acts as Simpson’s president, and I couldn’t be more excited about it,” Simmons said. “Brian Niemuth is the right person to build on Simpson’s tradition of athletic success and student-athlete development and to move us forward. He’ll do a great job. He already has.” Niemuth will continue to coach the women’s basketball team, as he has for the past 27 seasons. The 2012-13 season was one of the most successful in school history, as the Storm reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball Championship.

of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) to Division III of the NCAA. In addition, he recently helped the college meet a $3 million annual matching grant challenge, brought in an endowed chair for a position in the business department, reduced the discount rate and increased the ACT average for incoming students. Before accepting the Iowa Wesleyan College position, Simmons served from 1997 to 2008 as vice president for academic affairs and dean at LaGrange College in Georgia. While there, he updated faculty governance, expanded curriculum and program activities and increased international programs. Simmons has also served at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, where he was Dean of Liberal Arts, and at his alma mater, Birmingham-Southern College, where he was assistant to the dean and later assistant dean.

It was also a momentous season for Niemuth, who became the 20th coach in NCAA Division III history to reach 500 wins. He already was the most successful women’s basketball coach in Simpson College history, winning 11 Iowa Conference Championships and leading the team to 11 trips to the NCAA tournament. A seven-time Iowa Conference Coach of the Year, Niemuth hopes to build on the recent improvements made to the athletic department. “We have great momentum right now, and I want to help us grow the progress we’ve already made,” he said. Before arriving at Simpson, Niemuth served as an assistant basketball coach at Park College in Kansas City, Mo., for

two years; one with the men’s team and one with the women’s team. He was an assistant coach at Dallas Center-Grimes (Iowa) High School. He also served as an assistant baseball coach for Simpson from 1991-97. Niemuth grew up in Kansas City, and was an allconference player and team co-captain at Park for two years. He also earned All-American honors in baseball for Park. He received his bachelor’s degree in 1988 from Grand View College in Des Moines and earned his master’s degree in sports management at Iowa State University during the summer of 1997. He is a member of Simpson’s faculty and teaches physical education classes. He and his wife, Beth, have a daughter, Brooke. They live in Altoona, Iowa.

T R ADI T I ON S tory was now viewed as insensitive and Simpson would not ignore the wishes of Native Americans. The Native American protests against the Atlanta Braves baseball team and the use of “The tomahawk chop” during the World Series accelerated the internal debate. The name Lady Reds was also dropped at this point, and the search was on for a nickname without sexist distinction. Along with the nickname change came the last days of the mascot Rowdy Rooster.

NICKNAME TIMELINE SIMPSONITES

Nicknames and mascots have long played an important role in athletics and support for those teams which they represent. Many teams experience a variety of nicknames over the years and Simpson College is no different. The name game started near the turn of the century as the interest in college athletics grew, and spurred again in the 1990’s with the cultural sensitivity of nicknames and mascots under review by an entire nation. Earliest documentation of a mascot or cheer leader indicate the person leading the crowds was called “The Joshua.” This name was derived from a pep club of the late 1800’s. Yet at the time “The Joshua” was leading chants in Hopper Gymnasium, Simpson College had no official nickname for its athletic teams. The earliest names used were “Simpsonians” or “Simpsonites,” but neither sounded good nor caught on for an extended period of time. During the first decade of the 1900’s the Des Moines press referred to Simpson athletic teams as the “Methodists.” The name stuck for a while until the people from Iowa Wesleyan (also a Methodist affiliated school) insisted they had prior claim to the name and that they were more devoutly Methodist than the folks from Simpson. The Simpsonian (Simpson College student newspaper) called the teams the “Maple Leafs,” attempting to evoke pride from the school’s famed trees, but like previous names, it was shortlived. From 1910 to the early 1930’s, college publications pegged the athletic teams with “Red and Gold” for a nickname, referring to the school colors. Unfortunately, the name was abstract and could not be used ROWDY ROOSTER to label individual Extinct athletes or the team as a whole.

it or had ever used it. Along with this name came the Indian mascot and other visual symbols associated with Indian traditions. Redmen would remain the nickname for many years. The mascot changed in 1968 when amid national debate and changing campus attitudes, certain symbols and ceremonies relating to Indian traditions were dropped. The crowning of a Big Chief, Indian Princess and Indian Brave were dropped from Homecoming activities, as well as the symbols such as the headdress. Although these ceremonies were commenced, throughout the 1970’s, the mascot leading the crowd at football games remained an Indian riding a horse.

FORMER MASCOTS

In 1930, a college alumnus, John Horsley, ended years of indecision. His proposal, stated in the Simpsonian, suggested Simpson adopt the name “Redmen.” Horsley cited Indian lore and traditions, picturesque vocabulary and easy pronunciation, as backing for his idea. It matched well with the school colors and no other team in the conference used

THUNDERCAT

MIA since the early 2000s

As the next decade approached, changes continued. In 1981, the name “Lady Reds” was adopted for female teams, while the male teams remained the “Redmen.” Another change that came in the early 1980’s was the use of Rowdy Rooster as the college’s mascot. Rowdy was a student dressed up in a red costume resembling a chicken whose identification with the names Redmen and Lady Reds remains a mystery to this day.

Simpson decided in 1992 to drop the use of Redmen and Lady Reds as the school’s nicknames. The use of Redmen had been controversial for three prior decades and a change was needed. Simpson College president Stephen Jennings announced the name would be dropped out of moral necessity to oblige the wishes of Native American groups, who find such names offensive to their culture.

Simpson’s new logo and look debuted at the Golden Circle Classic football game against Drake University in fall of 1992. The new mascot was not announced at this time. Simpson went without a mascot through the 1993-94 school year before the announcement and unveiling of Thundercat at a basketball game during the 1993-94 season.
