Bronchos' 8-0 season, named No. 1 position By Steven E. Wedel Editor in Chief
T
he UCO Bronchos were expected to be ranked as the number one Division II football team in the nation, according to preliminary reports early Monday. The Bronchos were expected to advance from the number two spot after defeating Ouachita Baptist 48-7 last Saturday. Northern Colorado was ranked number one last week, but a loss to NebraskaOmaha on Saturday was expected to drop them from the top position in favor of UCO. "We're happy to be there," said Gary Howard, head coach of the Bronchos. "It's an honor be ranked there at this point in time. Of course, it's more important to see where we'll be three weeks from now." The Bronchos are undefeated this season. Gary Howard "I'm certainly happy to be 8-0," Howard said.

The official NCAA poll was expected to be released about one hour after presstime on Monday.

Tyree, supervisor for Information of Technological Support. Once the request is received, it is verified that the organization is a current student organization through Student Activities. "Whoever is responsible has to check in and take care of the account," Tyree said. If the officer responsible for the account leaves the organization, Student Activities must be notified immediately, he said. The e-mail accounts are already in affect and several organizations have applied and their accounts are in place, Tyree said. UCOSA is one student organization that has applied and recieved e-mail accounts for all their senior officers, UCOSA President Derrek Belase said. The accounts must be renewed each year by filling out a form that updates the account. If a form is not received on or before June 1, the account will be disabled, Tyree said. Information Technology will provide technological support, including any problems with the account not working, Tyree said. Student organizations interested in getting an e-mail account can send an e-mail request form to support@ucok.edu , or call 974-2255.
