2007 Falcon Football
It is the national championship of service academy football. Its only equals are the Stanley Cup, the Vince Lombardi Trophy and the Ryder Cup.
the Falcons’ head coach in 1984 and dominated CIC competition. He posted a 34-11 record against Army and Navy until his retirement after the 2006 season. During that same span, Army and Navy both had records of 17-29. Army has won one title in the past 18 years.
At two-and-one-half feet tall and 170 pounds, the Commander-inChief’s Trophy is the most prized possession of the three service academies. The service academy with the best record in the three-team, round-robin competition is rewarded with the CIC trophy. The President of the United States presents the trophy to the senior class of the winning Academy during a trip to the White House after the season. In its 36th season, the CIC Trophy has made a stop at all three academies. Air Force, the youngest of the three academies, has won more CIC titles than Army and Navy combined. Air Force has won 16 of the 35 titles. Navy has won nine while Army has won six and four have ended in a tie. In the event of a tie, the previous year’s winner retains the trophy. Navy dominated the early years. After Army won the inaugural title in 1972, the Midshipmen won the title five of the next nine years and held the trophy eight of those nine years. AFA claimed its first title in 1982. Air Force and Army traded the trophy every year from 1983 to 1988.
The idea for the establishment of an interservice trophy originated with the late General George B. Simler, commander of the Air Training Command and a former Air Force Academy athletic director. The 1972 season was viewed as an appropriate time to establish such a trophy since it marked the first year of round-robin competition in football between the service academies. Simler proposed the idea to the AFA Association of Graduates in 1972. The association, in turn, proposed the project to the alumni associations at West Point and Annapolis as suitable for joint sponsorship by the three academies. The trophy is named in honor of the President of the United States as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The three-sided structure is engraved with the seal of each academy and displays a sculptured model of each school’s mascot. The year in which the trophy is won is engraved on a plate on the appropriate academy’s side of the trophy. “Our first game against another academy was a tremendous event,” said former AFA Associate Athletic Director Jim Bowman. “We were a heavy underdog to Army and tied them 13-13 in front of a huge crowd at Yankee Stadium. Since we are the youngest of the academies, our goal was just to be competitive with Army and Navy. The overall record shows that we have been pretty successful.”
Prior to 1989, neither academy had won more than two straight CIC titles. Air Force won four straight titles from 1989-1992. After tying for the trophy in 1993, the Falcons won titles in 1994 and 1972 Army 2-0 Navy 1-1 1995. The trophy spent seven years at the 1973 Navy 2-0 AFA 1-1 Academy until Army won the title in 1996. 1974 Navy 1-1 AFA 1-1 That season marked the first time since 1978, 1975 Navy 2-0 AFA 1-1 and just the fourth time in 26 years, the 1976 Navy 1-1 AFA 1-1 Falcons were defeated by Army and Navy in 1977 Army 2-0 Navy 1-1 the same season. The trophy’s hiatus from 1978 Navy 2-0 Army 1-1 the Academy was short-lived as the Falcons 1979 Navy 2-0 AFA 1-1 brought the trophy home in 1997. That sea1980 Navy 1-1 AFA 1-1 son began an unprecedented string of six 1981 Navy 1-0-1 AFA 1-1 straight titles. AFA clinched its sixth trophy 1982 AFA 2-0 Navy 1-1 by beating Army (49-30) and Navy (48-7) in 1983 AFA 2-0 Navy 1-1 2002. Navy has won the Trophy each of the 1984 Army 2-0 AFA 1-1 last four seasons, to tie its longest winning 1985 AFA 2-0 Navy 1-1 streak in trophy competition (1973-76 and 1986 Army 2-0 AFA 1-1 1978-81). 1987 AFA 2-0 Army 1-1 Beginning in 1984, Fisher DeBerry put a 1988 Army 2-0 AFA 1-1 short leash on the trophy. DeBerry became 1989 AFA 2-0 Navy 1-1 GoAirForceFalcons.com

Senior Gilberto Perez earned the 2006 Brian Bullard Award at the 25th Annual Air Force Football Awards Banquet at the Broadmoor Hotel. Perez was a team co-captain and honorable mention all-MWC defensive lineman. Despite battling through injuries all season, he was selected to play in the Hula Bowl. “Gilberto is so typical of the previous winners. He epitomizes all the standards of the award and is the consummate team player,” former Air Force head coach Fisher DeBerry said. “His desire and dedication to Falcon football is unparalleled.” “It is an honor and a privilege to win the Brian Bullard Award,” Perez said. “The award is more than what you have accomplished, but rather the type of person you are. Fighting Falcon brothers have always had a strong work ethic and love for one another. Being chosen by my brothers is what makes it the most special. I am humbled to have my name added to the list of past winners because these remarkable guys are a representation of what it means to be an Air Force Fighting Falcon.”

State of the art. Unmatched. Cutting-edge You choose. But one thing is unmistakable, the new Falcon Athletic Center (FAC) is one of the nation's best facilities. The new facility was part of a military construction project that not only built the new building, but altered the existing Cadet Field House. The $30.3 million project included 161,000 total square feet, including the Falcon Athletic Center's 109,000 square feet and a 51,000 square foot renovation of the Cadet Field House. The new building opened in July 2003, while the Field House was completed in March 2004. Student-athletes' schedules at the Academy are institutionally driven, unlike that of most civilian schools where student-athletes have much more free time. Student-athletes at the Academy are allotted from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. daily for athletic pursuits. That time must be used for practice, for transit to and from the dormitory area and the Cadet Gymnasium or Cadet Field House, medical taping and treatment and conditioning in the weight room. In addition, competition at the NCAA Division I level has become a year-round proposition for all athletes, whether they are cadets or their counterparts at civilian institutions. Understanding that the Academy enrollment of 4,000 consists of roughly 25 percent student-athletes (1,000), the existing athletic facilities were taxed. The same was true for the existing medical treatment and weight room facilities. In addition to the student-athletes, the Academy also uses these facilities for its massive intramural sports program. The 3,000 cadets who are not intercollegiate athletes participate in intramural activities adding about 1,200 to 1,500 cadets in the athletic facilities at the same time. The Falcon Athletic Center houses new sports medicine and weight training facilities, as well as new locker rooms, team meeting facilities and equipment and storage issue. In addition, the athletic administration and football program personnel have offices in the FAC. The first level of the building is for equipment storage and issue, football lockers and the medical and training facilities. The second level consists of a two-story weight room, coaches offices and a reception area. This area gives guests and visitors the opportunity to visit the history of intercollegiate athletics and past greats, along with the intramural programs. A spacious outdoor plaza area with room for displays takes up the third level while the fourth level is for athletic administration.

Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days of sunshine per year, The Mile High City of Denver has it all. Truly a sports capitol, Denver has eight professional sports teams, including the Denver Broncos (NFL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rockies (MLB), Colorado Rapids (Major League Soccer), Denver Crush (Arena Football League), Colorado Outlaws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (National Lacrosse League). Recent success among the teams has driven the excitement for these teams a mountain high. The Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. The Crush won the Arena Bowl in 2005. Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide, Denver has a mild and dry climate with more days of sunshine per year than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open year round as the average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Boston, New York City and St. Louis. The city sits at 5,280 feet above sea level.

The foothills being just west of the city and the peaks of the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000 feet. Despite the proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15 inches of precipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles. The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the population of the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the 27th most populous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area. Denver has the largest city park system in the nation. There are 650 miles of offstreet, bike paths, 90 golf courses and 200 parks. Within a 90-minute drive from downtown Denver, there are opportunities for some of the country’s best skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting and mountain biking.

U. S . A i r Fo r c e A c a d e m y The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to provide cadets the knowledge and character essential for leadership, and the motivation to serve as Air Force career officers. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. COURSE OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides a general and professional foundation essential to a career Air Force officer. Special needs of future Air Force officers are met by professionally oriented courses, including human physiology, computer science, economics, military history, astronautics, law and political science. The core curriculum includes courses in science, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 25 major areas of study. About 60 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the other 40 percent graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, astronautical engineering, international affairs and political science, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, aeronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics. FACULTY COMPOSITION The majority of the Academy's nearly 600 faculty members are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master's degree and more than 35 percent have doctorates. In addition to imparting knowledge, each faculty member must assist with the development of character and qualities of leadership essential to future Air Force career officers and the moti-
vation of service to country. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished civilian professors and associate professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services are members of the faculty as well, and a small number of officers from allied countries teach in the foreign language, history and political science departments. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year. ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy's athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year. MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An aerospace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores perform lower-level leadership and instructional tasks. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in U.S. society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communicative skills, and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. Military studies for the senior class focus on military thought.
The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Those not qualified for flight training must enroll in a basic aviation course. Astronomy and advanced navigation courses also are available. Students bound for pilot training enroll in the flight screening program at the Academy and fly the DA-20 Katana aircraft. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available, and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required threeweek program during cadets' second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with young airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in summer programs, such as basic cadet training, survival training, freefall parachuting and soaring. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available. NOMINATIONS Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law. For information on admission procedures, write to HQ USAFA/RRS; 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200; USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025.

HISTORY -- In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property. In July 1955, the first academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980. GoAirForceFalcons.com

At h l e t i c D e p a r t m e n t L e a d e rs h i p Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his fourth year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement in the summer of 2004. In addition, he was the Academy's faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004. Before assuming his duties as vice dean, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually. Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy's eighth graduating class, and he graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master's degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College. Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973. After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon. In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy's representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representative on the team. He is currently the chairman of Region VII for the NCAA's Postgraduate Scholarship Committee, covering 119 schools, and has served in that capacity for five years. He competes in golf, racquetball, volleyball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men's golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team. Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Brigham Young, New Mexico, Colorado State, San Diego State, TCU, Wyoming, Utah and UNLV. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally-ranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 16 times, which is more than Army and Navy combined. The winner of the annual rivalry visits with White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States.
Falcon Stadium open on Sept. 22, 1962. The stadium was originally built solely for football, but non-athletic events like the Academy’s annual graduation ceremonies are also conducted there. The newest modification to the stadium was completed in the spring of 2006 with FieldTurf. Falcon Stadium has a seating capacity of 46,692. GoAirForceFalcons.com

T h e Fa l c o n Sports audiences across the country have been intrigued and delighted by the aerobatics of the falcon, the flying mascot of the U.S. Air Force Academy -- one of only two performing mascots in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The falcon can attain velocities exceeding 200 miles per hour in swoops or dives, turn sharply and streak only inches above the ground, making it the fastest and one of the most maneuverable of all birds. Trained and handled by cadet falconers, the birds soar and dive, sometimes zooming low over the heads of spectators. While their public flying performances are primarily limited to outdoor venues -- most often at football games and cadet wing parades -- the falcons appear at many other athletic contests in which cadet teams play. Members of the Class of 1959, the first to enter the Academy, chose the falcon as the mascot of the cadet wing Sept. 25, 1955, feeling that it best characterized the combat role of the U.S. Air Force. They did not specify any particular species; thus, any falcon can serve as mascot. Some of the characteristics which led to its selection were speed, powerful and graceful flight, courage, keen eyesight, alertness, regal carriage and noble tradition. The falcon exemplified the qualities sought in Air Force Academy cadets: courage, intelligence, love of the wild sky, ferocity in attack, but gentle in repose, and discipline. Experts once said falcons could not be trained to perform before huge crowds, that the birds would panic and flee. Since 1956, however, cadets have flown the birds at sporting events before thousands of cheering spectators. Six weeks or more and an average of 300 manhours per bird are required to properly train a young falcon. When a bird is in top condition, it is able to fly for more than an hour and make repeated stoops at the baited lure swung by the cadet falconer. Although they can be trained to perform, falcons are never totally domesticated and remain wild creatures with strong, independent spirits. Although they are members of the hawk family, falcons differ in that they have long pointed wings and dark eyes. There are five types of falcons native to North America, ranging in height from two feet to as small as five inches. They are the Arctic gyrfalcon, the largest; peregrine falcon, sometimes called the duck hawk; prairie falcon; American merlin, or pigeon hawk; and the American kestrel, also known as a windhover or a sparrow hawk. On Oct. 5, 1955, a splendid peregrine was the first falcon presented to the cadet wing. It was named “Mach 1,” referring GoAirForceFalcons.com
WHY THE FALCON? Speed Can attain velocities exceeding 200 miles per hour in stoops or dives on their prey. Power Powerful and graceful flight, with strong, deep wing beats; they maneuver with ease, grace and evident enjoyment. Courage Fearless and aggressive, falcons fiercely defend their nest and young against intruders. They have been known to unhesitatingly attack and kill prey more than twice their size. Keen eyesight About eight times sharper than man. Alertness, regal carriage and noble tradition. to the speed of sound. While “Mach 1” is still the official mascot name, each bird receives an individual name from the falconers. Twelve to 15 falcons are kept in the mews (enclosures for trained hawks) north of the cadet area. The majority are prairie falcons native to Colorado. The Academy has been fortunate to have had white-faced gyrfalcons represent the cadet wing. Previous gyrfalcon mascots were Atholl, Baffin and Glacier. Glacier served as the Academy’s mascot from July 1980 through August 1995. Glacier, a male, came to the Academy from the Seward Peninsula of Alaska, July 3, 1980. Glacier died from cancer on August 9, 1995, and is mounted for permanent display in the Cadet Field House. On June 8, 1996, the Association of Graduates purchased a female white-faced gyrfalcon from Mr. Dan Konkle in Sheridan, Wyo., and donated her to the Academy. The
36
cadet wing named this new mascot Aurora from Roman mythology, the goddess of the dawn. She is now the official mascot for the United States Air Force Academy and has become the center of attention for the Academy’s Falcon Mascot Program. At a mere 40 days old, this majestic creature weighed four pounds. Glacier, our previous gyrfalcon Mascot, only weighed two pounds. Although any falcon can serve as an Academy mascot, the white-faced Arctic gyrfalcon has always been the official mascot of the Air Force Academy. Gyrs constitute only about five percent of the total number of falcons found in the United States. Of that five percent, only about 3-4 percent are true white faced gyrfalcons. Falconry is one of the extracurricular activities offered to cadets. The Academy’s public health officer, a public health veterinarian, is the officer-in-charge. There are usually 12 falconers, with four chosen from each new class at the end of the year to replace graduating seniors. The new falconers begin training in January under the leadership of experienced upperclassmen and the officer-in-charge. Without proper instruction, novices can physically harm the birds or adversely affect their training. Falconers’ duties include daily checks of each bird’s health and condition, training sessions during which the birds are fed a measured ration of meat, frequent cleaning of the mews and routine maintenance of equipment. The prairie falcon is the bird primarily used by cadet falconers in flying demonstrations; however, peregrine falcons are also flown. The birds are flown throughout the year, weather permitting, to keep them in top condition. During performances, the birds fly to a lure, a rectangular-shaped leather pouch to which meat is attached. The falconer whirls the lure in a circle on a 30-foot cord; the bird quickly learns to strike it in mid-air, carry it to the ground and dine on the food. As the bird stoops toward the lure in free flight, the lure is jerked aside, causing the falcon to fly up, circle and make another pass. This procedure is repeated several times before the bird is allowed to strike the lure in mid-air. A small battery-powered transmitter is attached to one leg and a bell to the other leg so that, should the bird not come to the lure as it had been trained, the cadet falconers will be able to follow and safely recover the falcon.

T h e A i r Fo r c e S o n g History of the Air Force Song In 1938, Liberty magazine sponsored a contest for a spirited, enduring musical composition to become the official Army Air Corps song. Of 757 scores submitted, Robert Crawford’s was selected by a committee of Air Force wives. The song was officially introduced at the Cleveland Air Races on September 2, 1939. Fittingly, Crawford sang it in its first public performance. The first page of the score, which Crawford submitted to the selection committee in July 1939, was carried to the surface of the moon on July 30, 1971, aboard the Apollo 15 "Falcon" lunar module by Colonel David R. Scott and Lieutenant Colonel James B. Irwin. Interestingly, at the moment the "Falcon" blasted off the surface of the moon with Scott and Irwin on board, a rendition of the "Air Force Song" was broadcast to the world by Major Alfred M. Worden, who had a tape recorder aboard the "Endeavor" command module which was in orbit around the moon. Scott, Irwin and Worden comprised the first and only "All-Air Force" Apollo crew and arranged to take the page of sheet music with them as a tribute to Crawford and the United States Air Force.
Bridge Section: Toast to the Host “A Toast to the Host” is part of the original Air Force Song. Many times this is sung as a separate piece. This is the verse which commemorates those who have fallen in the name of our service and our great country. This is the reason for the difference in melody and the reverent, reflective mood. After every football game, the Drum and Bugle Corps plays “A Toast to the Host” as the football team gathers together on the field, joins hands and stands at attention.

(Give 'er the gun now!) Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one helluva roar! We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Pa g e a n t r y o f Fa l c o n Fo o t b a l l Wings of Blue
Flight of Sound
Nothing is more indicative of the pageantry of Air Force football than the Wings of Blue. The U.S. Air Force Academy parachute team, the Wings of Blue, has been one of the outstanding parachute units in the country for more than two decades. Since 1967, cadets have dominated national intercollegiate parachuting championships, typically winning decisively over 40 other schools which field about 125 of the nation’s top college competitors. Additionally, they perform about 50 demonstrations each year for millions of spectators. That doesn’t include jumping into Falcon Stadium before the start of every football game, weather permitting. The Wings of Blue, because of their diverse mission, are divided into a demonstration team and a competition team. Advising and supervising the team is a cadre of active off-duty Air Force commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The team jumps from a variety of aircraft. However, the team primarily uses its own DeHavilland UV-18B Twin Otters. Each cadet member must be a qualified jump-master and instructor in the Air Force Academy parachuting program. They must also maintain high academic and military standards to remain with the team. Members of the team average 600 jumps by the time they graduate. The primary mission of the parachute team is not competing or performing, it’s to train other cadets in free-fall parachuting. Each year, over 1,000 cadets complete five free-fall jumps in the basic free fall parachuting course and earn the coveted parachutist badge and rating. The Academy is the only school in the Air Force authorized to grant these awards and is the only school in the U.S. authorized to allow students to perform unassisted free-fall delays on their first jump, without any prior static line training. The basic free-fall program is the premier character development program at the Academy and is available to all cadets. It is designed to develop courage, confidence and discipline in each student and provide leadership experiences for the cadet instructors who teach the course. It is a rigorous training schedule with heavy emphasis on safety. Before cadets make their first jump, they are drilled repeatedly in ground school on proper parachuting procedures. The repetition is intended to have the jumper respond automatically and correctly should something unexpected occur during the jump. Cadets who successfully complete the basic free fall course are then eligible to take the advanced training necessary to tryout for the Wings of Blue. Those who want advanced training must compete for admission. Selection is based upon an individual’s maturity, abilities, academic and military standing. From its uncertain beginnings, when it was reserved for stuntmen, rugged paratroopers and desperate pilots, parachuting has evolved into an exacting science and exacting sport -- a sport dominated at the college level by the Air Force Academy.
The complete experience in sight and sound is presented at every home Falcon football game by the “Flight of Sound,” the U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Drum and Bugle Corps. Since 1948, the Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps has entertained audiences across the nation and abroad with their thrilling performances. The Corps, originally assigned to Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C., was transferred to the Air Force Academy in 1963 and turned over to the Cadet Wing in 1972. Since then, the corps has won 16 of the 24 Interservice Academy Drum and Bugle Corps competitions and are the four-time defending champions. The competition is held annually during the Air Force vs. Navy football weekend. Recognized as one of America’s premier musical and marching units, the Corps exemplifies the precision and musical blend of a well-directed band or orchestra and the showmanship of a Broadway production. Performing on the average of 150 times a year, they have become known as the Academy’s ambassadors of precision drill and musical pageantry. The Corps’ primary mission is to support the Cadet Wing activities, including military formations and Academy athletic contests both home and away. An extension of the mission continues in the community with concerts, field exhibitions, band festivals and various military ceremonies. The “D & B” Corps is comprised of 135 cadets and has represented the Air Force Academy at Presidential Inaugural Parades, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades, The Tournament of Roses Parade, Mardi Gras Parades, The Festival of State in St. Petersburg, Fla., Walt Disney World’s International Music Festival and The Long’s Peak Scottish/Irish Festival.

H e a d C o a c h Tr o y Ca l h o u n FIRST SEASON AS HEAD COACH 12 YEARS AS A COLLEGE COACH 4 YEARS IN THE NFL 16 YEARS COACHING EXPERIENCE Sometimes people seem born for a particular job or situation. That has never been the case more than Troy Calhoun being the head football coach at the Air Force Academy. The coach ushers in a new era of Falcon football this season as Calhoun replaces the legendary Fisher DeBerry, who retired last season after 23 years as head coach. Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate, is the sixth head coach in school history and first graduate to hold the position. He brings with him an impressive resume at the collegiate and professional levels that is flooded with success at every stop. Calhoun is fresh off completing his first season with the Houston Texans as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. The 2006 Texans were one of only two NFL teams to triple their number of wins from the previous year. They also were the last team to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on their way to the Super Bowl championship. On offense, the Texans had the NFL's leading receiver (Pro Bowler Andre Johnson with 103 catches), the NFL's best quarterback completion percentage (68.4 percent) and quarterback David Carr tied an NFL record against Buffalo with 22 straight completions. Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving as the defensive assistant under defensive coordinator Larry Coyer in 2003. He was a part of the NFL's fourth-ranked defense. The Broncos’ defense ranked seventh against the run and sixth against the pass. Denver's defense yielded a mere 17.6 points per game as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2000.
back Jake Plummer set a team record for passing with 4,089 yards and tied a team record with 27 touchdown passes. Coupled with an outstanding passing attack, the Broncos finished fourth in the NFL in rushing. The offense's ability to combine the run and the pass led to Denver ranking second in the NFL in time of possession with 32:37 per game. The Broncos’ special teams connected on 29 field goals, second best in the NFL. Calhoun worked closely with Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan in the 2005 season, serving as the assistant to the head coach. He helped the Broncos win the AFC West title for the 10th time in their history. Denver reached the AFC Championship game for the first time in seven seasons. Their 14-4 record was the best since Denver finished the 1998 season with a 17-2 mark on their way to winning Super Bowl XXXIII. The offense finished fifth in the NFL averaging 360.4 yards per game. The defense was stout against the run, finishing second in the NFL with 85.2 yards per game. Denver finished with an undefeated record at home during the regular season for the fifth time in team history. During Calhoun's three years in Denver, the Broncos made the playoffs every season, averaging over 11 wins per season. Prior to the NFL, Calhoun was an offensive coordinator for six seasons on the collegiate level. He began his coaching career at Air Force, where he worked as a graduate assistant from 1989-90. He started at quarterback for the Academy in 1986 and was one of only two freshmen to letter for the 1985 team that finished fifth in the final polls with a 12-1 record that included wins over national powers Notre Dame and Texas.
In 2004, Denver utilized Calhoun's offensive prowess moving him to offensive assistant/special teams. On the offensive side of the ball, the Broncos ranked fifth in the NFL, averaging 395.8 yards per game. Broncos’ quarter-

H e a d C o a c h Tr o y Ca l h o u n Demon Deacons were one of only seven teams in the country to score more than 30 points in each of the final four games. During his second season, Wake led the ACC in total offense with 408.1 yards per game. His offense had a league-best 990 plays and was efficient with the ball, committing only 16 turnovers to lead the ACC. The 2001 season culminated with a 38-17 bowl victory over Oregon to give Wake Forest its first back-to-back winning seasons since the ACC expanded to nine teams.
Calhoun served his country from 1989-95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force. He was the Falcons' recruiting coordinator and the junior varsity offensive coordinator in 1993-94.

2007 Falcon Football
Season Outlook
QB • Shaun Carney The 2007 season brings a new era to Falcon football. For the first time in 23 seasons Air Force has a new head football coach. And for the first time in school history, it's one of their own. Troy Calhoun agreed to become just the sixth coach in Air Force history in December and first Academy graduate to be head coach. He replaced Fisher DeBerry, who retired after 27 years at the Academy and 23 years as head coach. Calhoun is a 1989 Academy graduate and was the starting quarterback on the 1986 football team. He later was a graduate assistant coach and returned to the Academy to serve as a military assistant coach. After leaving the military in 1995, Calhoun worked at Ohio for former Air Force assistant Jim Grobe. He followed Grobe to Wake Forest and then spent three years in the Denver Broncos organization. He went with former Bronco offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak to Houston to serve as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Calhoun was a fast-raising star in the National Football League coaching ranks, but a call from Air Force Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh changed all that. Calhoun agreed to return to the place where he cut his teeth as a coach and in the process became the first Academy graduate to be named head football coach. "It's indeed quite an honor. I think in any way, whatever the capacity may be to be associated with the Air Force Academy is very humbling and it stirs an immense GoAirForceFalcons.com
amount of pride to get a chance to represent the Academy as their football coach," Calhoun said in his first Academy press conference. Calhoun inherits a proud program, but one that has fallen on uncharacteristically hard times. The Falcons are coming off three straight losing seasons for the first time in over 20 years. Calhoun is excited about returning Air Force to its customary winning ways. The burning questions, will you still run the option which has become a staple of the Academy program? "You have to be a strong running team and have you have to be good on the defensive side of the ball stopping the run," Calhoun said. "In this day and age of football, you have to have some balance. You have to be able to run the ball well, but you also have to be very effective in the passing game. We want the defense to have to defend the entire field and we want to take tremendous pride in a physical approach to football." The Academy returns several top-notch players which should help Calhoun and his new staff ease into the transition. Senior quarterback Shaun Carney returns for his fourth year as the starting quarterback. Carney has assaulted the Air Force record books and enters the season with several career records within reach. Carney continued his climb up the Air Force record charts in 2006. He hit 82 of 137 passes for 1,192 yards with 12 touchdowns and just three interceptions. His 59.9 completion percentage is the third-best mark in school history for a single season. Carney already owns the top mark of 64.2 set last season. He hit 61.1 as a freshman which is the second-best mark in AF history. Carney ranked third in the conference in passing efficiency with a 157.5 mark and his 12 TD tosses rank fifth overall in school history. For his career, Carney has hit 268 of 434 passes for 3,900 yards with 30 touchdowns. His 3,900 yards rank third all-time in school history while his 30 touchdown passes are second. He ranks third in school history in career total offense with 5,824 yards. Carney is eighth in AF history in career rushing yards with 1,924 and needs just 76 yards to become only the seventh player in school history to hit the 2,000-yard mark. Senior Chad Hall, a second-team allconference halfback last season, takes on a new position in 2007. Hall will move from halfback to the wide receiver Z position to take advantage of his all-around skills in the running and passing game. Hall became the first halfback to lead the team in rushing 66
FS • Bobby Giannini since Jake Campbell in 1994. Hall ranked fourth in the conference in rushing with a 65.3 per-game average and topped the 100yard mark twice. He rushed for a career-best 122 yards at Wyoming and had 102 against Colorado State, marking the second straight year he rushed for 100 or more yards vs. the Rams. The 5-foot-8, 180-pound Hall topped the 20-carry mark three times last season. He hit the 1,000-yard mark for his career during the season, becoming the 34th player in school history to rush for over 1,000 yards. Hall became just the third Air Force halfback in school history to earn all-conference honors and the first since Greg Johnson was a firstteam all-Western Athletic Conference selection in 1989. Replacing Chad Hall at the tailback position is senior Chad Smith. Smith played in all 12 games last season and had 26 carries for 162 yards. His best game of the season came against Wyoming as he had six carries for 40 yards. A tremendous all-around athlete, Jim Ollis will enter the fall No. 2 on the depth chart at tailback. Ollis has played quarterback and halfback his first three years. Ollis' most significant action came in the season finale at TCU where he rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. The offense returns only two other starters in tight end Travis Dekker and offensive lineman Blaine Guenther, but several Falcons saw significant action. Dekker started eight games at tight end and had four catches for 40 yards and a TD on the season. 2007 Falcon Football
U. S . A i r Fo r c e A c a d e m y Guenther is the only returning starter on the O-Line, but he will be playing a new position. After starting all 12 games last season at right tackle, Guenther will be the team's starter at center. The Falcons had several injuries on the offensive line last season which led to many linemen receiving valuable playing time. Sophomore Nick Charles started six games as a freshman for Air Force. Senior Caleb Morris, returning from injury himself, saw action in eight games. Morris, like Charles, was forced into a starting role as a freshman. He missed his entire sophomore year due to injury in addition to missing four games last season. Sophomore Michael Hampton along with seniors Dan Holder and Ryan Zeman are experienced as well. The wide receiver area also returns several players with significant playing action. Senior Mark Root is the team's top returning receiver. He led the team with 314 yards and was second on the team with 16 receptions. Fullback Ryan Williams returns after starting five games last season. He rushed for 442 yards and four touchdowns which was third-best on the team. He opened the season with a 98-yard, two-touchdown performance at Tennessee. He also had 94 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries vs. New Mexico. Senior fullback Scott Peeples also returns after paying in eight games last season and rushing for 88 yards. The defense will be anchored by senior linebacker Drew Fowler, who led the conference and ranked 11th nationally in total tackles with a 10.2 average becoming the first Falcon since Chris Gizzi in 1997 to lead the league in tackles. The Clayton, N.C., product
CB • Garrett Rybak

recorded 123 tackles, which is the most by a Falcon since Gizzi posted 179 in 1997. Fowler led the team in tackles in 10 of 12 games in 2006 and notched a career-high 18 tackles in the loss to Navy. His 18 stops are the most by a Falcon since Gizzi had 20 vs. Fresno State in 1997. He was named the conference's player of the week for his efforts against Navy. Fowler earned first-team all-conference honors for his efforts, becoming the first Falcon to earn first-team honors since Marchello Graddy in 2003. In addition, he was named the Colorado defensive player of the year by the National Football Foundation Colorado chapter. The other inside linebacker spot will be filled by Aaron Shanor. A senior from Azle, Texas, Shanor sat out last season but returned to the team in the spring of 2007. Senior Austin Randle played solidly at linebacker last season, recording 42 total tackles, including four for losses, and will see action in the middle in 2007. The two outside linebacker positions will have much experience in senior John Rabold, junior Hunter Altman and senior Julian Madrid. Rabold started 11 games at Falcon Back last season and finished second on the team in tackles with 68. He also led the team with 5.5 tackles for loss for 20 yards and had two interceptions. Altman enters the Fall No. 1 on the depth chart at the other outside linebacker spot. Altman played in all 12 games last season at Falcon Back and was the team's special teams player of the year. Madrid started 11 games at Falcon Back last season and had 50 tackles, including 4.5 for loss. Air Force returns two starters in the secondary in senior cornerback Garrett Rybak and senior free safety Bobby Giannini. Giannini started all 12 games at free safety last season and was third on the team in tackles with 64, adding an interception and pass breakup. He is the team's active career leader in tackles with 223 entering the season. Junior Aaron Kirchoff will all see time at free safety. Kirchoff played in all 12 games last season and had 32 tackles, two for loss and two fumble recoveries on onside kicks. Rybak started all 12 games at cornerback last season and had 48 tackles and an interception. The other corner position will be filled by senior Carson Bird, who played in 10 games last season with five tackles. Sophomore Chris Thomas will enter the Fall as the starter at strong safety. As a freshman, Thomas played in all 12 games and had 25 tackles with an interception, two pass breakups and a fumble. 67
Junior Jake Paulson is the lone returning starter from the defensive line. Paulson, a defensive end from Lake Oswego, Ore., had 15 total tackles, including three for losses. The defensive line also suffered its fair share of injuries which led to several players getting experience. Juniors Garrett Gilbertson, Jared Marvin and Ryan Kemp and senior Josh Clayton also return. Gilbertson saw action in 10 games while Clayton started seven before injuries cut his season short. Kemp played in nine games. Marvin played in eight games, starting in two. The kicking game lost all three seniors as kicker Zach Sasser and deep snapper Bryan Jones graduated. Senior Tony Norman is poised to take over the deep snapper duties while junior Ryan Harrison returns from an Academy suspension to take over the kicking and punting duties. He was slated to start at both positions last year prior to the suspensions. There will certainly be a new look to the Academy program next season. But as much as things have changed, the principles of a successful Air Force team remain the same. Calhoun has made that clear from the start. "I think you have to be extremely diligent in every thing you do and that's no secret. In recruiting, it just comes down to hard work and making sure you do a tremendous job of educating young people on the doors that Academy can open for them. It goes further than Academics here. This is the finest leadership institution in the country. We get to deal with young people that will go out and serve and lead the people that protect our freedoms every day."

2007 Falcon Football
T h e M o u n t a i n We s t C o n f e r e n c e From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West Conference has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MWC continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its eighth year, the MWC has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governing structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West Conference is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West Conference boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MWC schools (Utah, BYU, Air Force and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet - the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of the MWC's newest member, TCU. The MWC became a player in the changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics when it announced in January 2004 that TCU would become the league's ninth member beginning with the 2005-06 athletic season. As realignment swept through several NCAA Division I

the league's football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl. Thompson also arranged a third bowl tie-in each of the first three years (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002. conferences, the MWC remained focused in its mission and objectives, strengthening its membership for the road ahead. Founded in 1873, TCU participates in all 19 Mountain West Conference sports. The Horned Frogs have captured 16 conference championships the last four years, and their athletic tradition reaches back to their first season of football in 1897. History The Mountain West Conference was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions - Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming decided to form a new NCAA Division IA intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from the former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long standing athletic rivalries. Five of the MWC's eight members have been conference rivals since the 1960's (BYU, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longstanding members as well. UNLV entered the fold in 1996 and TCU began its first year of competition in 2005-06, completing the membership in the MWC as it stands today. Prior to opening its doors, an executive committee was established and named Craig Thompson commissioner. Thompson had less than nine months to name the new league, settle on a city to serve as the league's headquarters, find a television partner, arrange for bowl tie-ins, hire staff, and develop a logo. When the MWC officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MWC football and men's basketball; and three-year agreements to send

The conference’s current bowl-ties include the Las Vegas Bowl, the San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, the New Mexico Bowl and the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Exposure A new era began in 2006 as College Sports Television (CSTV) became the official television partner for the Conference. The MWC forged a seven-year agreement with CSTV, giving the fastest-growing independent cable network exclusive rights to Mountain West Conference football and men's basketball, plus coverage for all other MWC sports. The agreement incorporates all Conference-related media and marketing rights, including all television, national over-the-air and satellite radio, videoon-demand, and online and broadband rights. The multi-media partnership also includes the mtn., the first-ever regional sports network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference. CSTV is currently available nationally via DirecTV and numerous cable entities. With the advent of the MWC Television Network, the in-house production entity of the MWC, the Conference assured itself of a widerange of television exposure for various Olympic sports. The MWC-TV Network includes a combination of over-the-air cable affiliates and local outlets throughout the Rocky Mountain region and western United States.

Credentials
General: All interviews with players and coaches must be arranged through athletic communications. Interview requests must be made at least one day in advance - NO EXCEPTIONS -- to ensure player and coach availability. Interviews with players are prohibited from conflicting with classes, practice sessions, team meetings, medical treatment and any military training. Failure to comply with this policy will result in the termination of access to student-athletes for said media outlets for the remainder of the season.
General: All credentials must be requested from athletic communications no later than noon (MST) the day before the game. No credentials will be issued the day of the game - NO EXCEPTIONS. Visiting team media are urged to request credentials through the team they cover and credentials will be distributed in advance of the game. All other credentials will be left at Will Call the day of the game. Nonrights holding radio stations will be limited to one credential.
For interviews with players and coaches please contact Dave Toller at (719) 333-3478 or Nick Arseniak at (719) 333-9251.
Weekly In-Season Interviews: Interviews with players must take place before practice in a designated area or after practice and must be set up at least a day in advance. All post-practice interviews must be brief, no longer than five minutes. The student-athletes have limited time after practice. Any feature-type interview must be done prior to practice. Game Days: No pre-game interviews with players will be granted on game day. There will be a formal press conference in a designated area following the 10-minute cooling off period. No players are available before this time. Interviews are not allowed as the players are leaving the field or as they are forming up for the Air Force song. Coaches interviews on game days are at their discretion, but must be set up in advance with athletic communications. No student-athlete or coach can appear on a live post-game television or radio interview without permission obtained in advance of the game. Off Days: Student-athletes are not available for interviews during off days or non-practice days. In football, this is the day after the game. For example, if AFA plays on Saturday, players are off limits on Friday and Sunday. Coaches may do interviews at their discretion on off days, but requests must be made well in advance. Contacting Athletes: Student-athlete's private phone numbers and email address will not be issued to the media. Air Force student-athletes have also been instructed not to accept calls from media without prior notification from athletic communications.
Internet Sites: Only accredited news agency internet sites will be granted game credentials or access to Air Force student-athletes and coaches. All inquiries must be made through athletic communications. Accreditation will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but all sites must have a recognized news affiliation. Photo Credentials: Freelance photography credentials will not be issued unless the photographer has a request on company letterhead from an accredited media outlet. No credentials will be issued to "assistants" - NO EXCEPTIONS. Single-Game Credentials: Single-game credentials will not be issued to any local media outlet unless they have regularly covered Air Force or the competing team, unless space allows. Season Credentials: Media outlets must attend media day and regularly cover Air Force (attend weekly media teleconferences and/or practices) to be eligible for a season credential. If media outlets request credentials for staff members (columnists, anchors, etc.) that are not always able to attend and that staff member wishes to attend a particular game, they must call the week of the game to inform the athletic communications staff for seating purposes. A season credential doesn’t always reserve media members a seat in the press box. Parking: Media parking passes are issued for football and men’s basketball only and are on a space-available basis. Media with season credentials and visiting media will have priority in this case. Scouting Credentials: Professional scouting credentials are issued and seats provided as space allows. These requests must be made in advance on company letterhead.
Practices Practices are open to the media with the following guidelines. Media members must obtain permission to video or photograph practice in advance. Media may not listen to or be in the area of any pre- or post-practice talks between the coaches and players. These comments, if overheard, are off the record. Players and coaches may not be approached during practice. Reporters may ask the athletic communications staff about injuries, but all interviews with training staff, coaches and players must be done following practice. The player availability is uncertain depending on any post-practice treatment. Photographers are welcome to shoot the first 45 minutes of practice only, but must not interfere with practice in any way and must stay on the outside of the practice fields.
Locker Rooms/Other facilities All locker rooms and training facilities (training and weight rooms) are off limits to media - NO EXCEPTIONS. Air Force has a closed locker room policy for both home and away games.

Air Force Base Security The Air Force Academy is located on an active military base. The athletic department facilities (except for Falcon Stadium) are best located by the media by entering the base through the North Gate (#156 exit off of Interstate 25). If media members are coming to an event at Falcon Stadium other than on a football game day (practice) they must notify the athletic communications staff the day before to gain access to the base - NO EXCEPTIONS. If at any time the base security is heightened, media may lose their access to the base without an escort.
