ALL IN THE FAMILY You might think the “family tree” of the Southwestern football coaching staff would have numerous branches; after all, there are seven full-time coaches, plus part-time coaches, trainers and others who work with the team. However, this family of coaches has such a long history together that the proverbial tree would look more like a big, solid trunk with just a few branches grafted on. Head Coach Joe Austin and Defensive Line Coach Kenneth Eboh have known each other since high school. They reconnected years later upon the passing of a mutual friend’s parent. While not ideal timing, the two now see the reunion as fortuitous—it was then that Austin recruited Eboh to coach with him at the University of Dubuque in eastern Iowa. During that coaching tenure, one of their players was SU Quarterbacks Coach Byron Abram. More than a decade prior, Associate Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator Tom Ross recruited Defensive Backs Coach Bill Kriesel to play for him at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minn. Then, when coaching a professional American football team in Germany, Ross recruited Kriesel to play for him again. Meanwhile back in the U.S., Austin met Ross through a mutual friend and the three coached together briefly at Augsburg. Jump ahead to 2008 and Austin, Ross and Eboh were coaching together at Hanover College, a Division III private, undergraduate liberal arts college in Indiana. Although they tried several times to recruit Kriesel, he was unable to join them on the field due to family obligations. That all changed when the opportunity came along to move to Central Texas. “This opportunity worked for my family … it just all came together,” says Kriesel. Besides their intricate history, the Southwestern football coaches agree that they work well together in large part because they have

the same coaching philosophy. Austin explains, “We use football to teach our players how to be men—what they can do with their lives, how to maximize their blessings, and how to take responsibility in their roles after college. It is our goal that they leave here and do well as husbands and fathers and in their vocations.” The coaches are friends outside the office and off the field as well. “We spend way too many hours together to not like each other,” says Austin. Ross says during non-work hours, the group spends time together traveling, playing and watching other sports, or just hanging out. Austin adds, “We allow each other to not talk football, which is important.” According to Austin, sticking together is important, too. “Starting a new program is a hard process to go through, but we’ve all done it before at Augsburg and Dubuque and Hanover; we’ve been through those first years where it’s hard. It’s good that we all know what we’re dealing with,” he says. Through that process, the coaches expect their team to work toward “getting better every day, on the field and off,” says Ross. As for those who may still be unsure about bringing football back to Southwestern after 63 years, Austin says, “If people are unsure, it’s OK; they should be, this is new. Ultimately, what we do over time is what we’ll be judged on.” Eboh also reminds people, “It’s our job to find quality athletes who are academically qualified to come to SU. At the end of the day, if they’re not, then they won’t be admitted.” Most important, says Ross, is that “our kids are students first.” In fact, 26 members of the Southwestern football team are Academic All State in Texas. Go Pirates!

JOE AUSTIN H E A D CO A C H Joe Austin was announced as Southwestern’s head football coach in February 2012, charged with reinstating football at a school that hadn’t competed in the sport for more than 62 years. Austin came to Southwestern after transforming Hanover College’s football program in just three short years. The team, which was in decline, became a rising star in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, finishing in second place in Austin’s last two seasons. Prior to Hanover, Austin guided the University of Dubuque to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in 28 seasons. The Spartans finished 7-3 in 2007 and 6-4 in 2006 in a highly competitive Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. During that time, Austin’s offensive unit set 33 school records and in 2007 averaged 35.6 points and 433.4 offensive yards per game. On his way to Dubuque, Austin made stops in Augsburg College (MN) as the offensive coordinator for one season and as an offensive assistant coach at Concordia University (MN) for four seasons. While Austin was at Concordia, the Golden Bears twice finished in the NCAA Division II top 10 in total offense. Concordia averaged more than 35 points per game and set virtually every school passing, rushing and receiving record during his tenure. Austin played quarterback at St. Ambrose University (Iowa) for two seasons, suffering a broken vertebrae six games into his sophomore season. The injury ended his playing career but jump started his coaching career. At Concordia, Austin earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies in 2001 and a master’s degree in organizational management in 2004.

A LEAP OF FAITH Today, nearly 100 young men will run onto the field as the unified Southwestern University Pirate Football Team. They will all wear the same yellow and black uniforms; follow the instructions of the same coaches; and run, throw, catch and tackle as a team. But 10 of them will stand out. Why? Because they are veterans—one-year team veterans, that is. One year ago, Patrick Carter, Codey Mann, Nick Mask, Jose Perez Jr., Joseph Quintero, Phillip Ricker, Colten Shea, Alex Tyson, Trey White and Dillon Wilburn joined Head Coach Joe Austin in reestablishing football at Southwestern after a 62-year hiatus. “These guys took a leap of faith,” says Austin. “It was not easy; they were looked on as different, but they handled it and represented the University very well.” So, what was it about Southwestern University and about playing football for the new SU team that enticed these guys? Nick Mask, defensive end, says, “After going to Blinn Junior College (Brenham, Texas), I knew that I wanted not only to play football, but to also feel academically challenged. SU could provide me with both of those opportunities.” Kenneth Eboh, recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach, explains that the Southwestern football players are students first, and that if they don’t meet SU’s academic requirements, they’re not admitted … no matter how well they play football. Lili McEntire, assistant director of admission and athletics liaison, says, “The admission standards are the same for all students—athletes or not. Our first priority is making sure the student has the academic preparation to be successful at Southwestern.”

Phil Ricker, defensive tackle, has family roots at Southwestern— his parents are both alumni and his granddad holds an honorary degree from SU. “What excites me is the opportunity to start new traditions and ‘be the first’ after 63 years,” he says. “Being a part of bringing football back to the oldest school in Texas is not just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; it’s a once-in-a-century opportunity!” Veterans off the field as well, offensive lineman Patrick Carter and defensive end Joseph Quintero spent a combined nine years in the Navy before coming to Southwestern. Carter says, “After being in the military, it was really good to be welcomed as a part of a team again. The other original guys are all high-character young men and I’m proud to call them my teammates. And, the coaches are some of the most quality and professional people I’ve met, just being around them makes you want to play for them.” Wide receiver Colten Shea is excited about playing again in his hometown stadium—he lettered in three sports as a Georgetown Eagle—and says he chose Southwestern because he would be able to play both football and baseball. Offensive lineman Jose Perez Jr. says it was “the fact that Southwestern is such a prestigious school” that interested him, plus he would be able to play football in college when he never thought he would. Alex Tyson, defensive tackle, sums up the feelings of many, saying, “Meeting new teammates, making new traditions, and playing some football is always a great time.”

RETURN OF A TRADITION Southwestern University has an illustrious history in intercollegiate athletics beginning with the first intercollegiate baseball game in the state of Texas on April 21, 1884 where Southwestern destroyed the University of Texas 52-12. Southwestern continued to compete in baseball and added football in 1895, but officially entered intercollegiate athletics in 1908 as a charter member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association (TIAA), later becoming the Southwest Conference, competing from 1914 –1927. SU had relative success in the conference, winning two conference championships, one in baseball (1918) and one in football (1925). By the end of their time in the TIAA, the Pirates had added men’s tennis and men’s basketball as conference sports. In 1926 –27 Southwestern left the TIAA to join the Texas Conference, starting that first year off on a high note with the 1927 conference championships in football and track & field. While in the Texas Conference, Southwestern’s football team was the first to win back-to-back Sun Bowl Championships. SU defeated the University of New Mexico 7- 0 in 1944 and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (National Autonomous University of Mexico) from Mexico City 35-0 in 1945. The 1945 contest is the only time an American football game has included a team from outside the U.S. It was also during the Texas Conference years that Southwestern disbanded its football program. Following the completion of World War II, Southwestern transitioned to a small liberal arts institution by dropping post-graduate degrees. In 1950, the Pirate football team took the field for the final time and posted a 5-5 record.

W W W. S U F O OT B A L L R E T U R N S . CO M

While the men’s teams (baseball, tennis, golf, basketball) competed in the Texas Conference, women competed in the TAIAW from 1973–1981 with tennis, volleyball and basketball teams. Southwestern athletics departed from the Texas Conference six years later, joining the Big State Conference in 1956—the women joining the ranks in 1981—and remained until 1983, at which point Southwestern became a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) member, competing independently for nine years. The Pirates became a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III school for the 1992–1993 academic year, going from six sports to 12 by adding men’s and women’s soccer, women’s golf and track & field and reviving the women’s tennis and men’s track & field teams. SU joined the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference in 1993 and competed within the conference beginning in the fall of 1994. Since that time, the Pirates have aided the SCAC in becoming one of the most well-recognized and well-respected conferences in the nation. Southwestern’s athletics department continued to grow, adding men’s and women’s swimming & diving in 1998; softball in 2008 with their first year of competition beginning in spring 2009; and men’s lacrosse in 2009 with their first season of competition in spring 2010. In fall 2011, Southwestern announced that it would reinstate its football program, with its first season taking place in fall 2013. Women’s varsity lacrosse will begin competition in spring 2014.

DIVISION III PHILOSOPHY Academics are the primary focus for Division III student-athletes. The division minimizes the conflicts between athletics and academics and keeps student-athletes on a path to graduation through shorter practice and playing seasons, the number of contests, no redshirting and regional competition that reduces time away from academic studies. Student-athletes are integrated on campus and treated like all other members of the general student-body, keeping them focused on being a student first. Division III does not award athletics grants-in-aid. Division III recently completed a two-year pilot academic-reporting program that produced data from a representative sample showing that student-athletes graduate at higher rates than those of their student-body peers.

SOUTHERN COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERNECE The SCAC was formed to provide an association through which the member institutions may encourage organized competition in intercollegiate sports among teams representative of their respective student bodies. Members of this conference share a commitment to priority of the overall quality of academic standards and quality educational experiences. SCAC member institutions are committed to sponsoring a variety of varsity sports to maximize opportunities for student participation. SCAC schools also operate under the principle that participation in sports should be solely from student interest and enjoyment of athletic competition, and that no financial aid shall be given to any student which is conditional upon athletic ability or participation in intercollegiate sports.
