2007 Football Media Guide by Troy University Athletics

The Future Is Now! As a high school senior, the coming months will bring forth an important decision involving your future – the choice of a college or university. This decision is important for a number of reasons, but most importantly because of the influence it can have in your life - both athletically and academically. Obviously, you have done well to this point in your career. The future, it would seem, can be even brighter. As you prepare to make the critical choice of where to spend your college career, I invite you to consider Troy University. A nationally acclaimed university that has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report and MONEY Magazine as an outstanding institution of higher learning, Troy University possesses a storied history of academic excellence and athletic success. Each day brings forth an exciting new chapter in that history. Our program is beginning its sixth season in Football Bowl Subdivision of the NCAA, and during that time we have visited some incredible places and played games in some of college football’s most storied stadiums, including games at Nebraska, Florida State, Marshall, Missouri, Georgia Tech, and South Carolina. Games have also been scheduled in the near future with other programs of national prominence, including Florida, LSU, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Arkansas. In addition, our football facility – Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium – has increased its capacity to more than 30,000 and undergone a complete overhaul. Included in the stadium is a six-story press box facility that houses a new academic center, sports medicine area and weight room – all dedicated exclusively to student-athletes. Troy University’s athletic programs have also enjoyed unprecedented success since joining the Sun Belt Conference. Our football program, in just three years in the league, has earned two bowl appearances and, just last season, captured our first Sun Belt Conference football championship. Our title run last year was capped by an exciting trip to the New Orleans Bowl where we earned a decisive victory over Rice. Our success at Troy University is driven by tremendous support from our administration, faculty, staff and student body. It is nurtured by a coaching philosophy that puts the player, and his success on and off the field, first and foremost. The bond of trust that develops as a product of that philosophy makes us stronger as a team and difficult to defeat. Your college choice is an important decision for you, the student-athlete, and one that has a great impact on your immediate future as well as the many years following your collegiate experience and football career. As you weigh your options, we invite you to strongly consider Troy University because of the opportunities our institution presents, athletically, academically and socially. We would also like to invite you for a visit to our campus in the coming months, so you can see our unique spirit and atmosphere first-hand. I wish you good fortune in your decision-making process and hope that you will give Troy University full consideration. Please let me know if I can be of assistance along the way.

2007 TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium Built in 1950 as Memorial Stadium, at the cost of $65,000, the stadium has undergone many changes in its 55-year history. Following the 2002 season, a facelift expanded its capacity to 30,000, complete with 29 luxury suites and a state-of-the-art press facility. The stadium was re-named Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium in May 2003 after a $5 million, 20-year commitment from the movie rental giant.

Practice Facility The Trojans practice on two 100-yard practice fields during the season and also have a 50-yard field for conditioning.

Tine W. Davis Field House The Tine W. Davis Field House is home to the Troy football program and the athletic department's administrative offices. The program's history is prominently displayed in the trophy cases, which house the school's national championship and conference title trophies. Also housed in the building are the strength and conditioning facility, equipment room, football meeting rooms and football locker room.

Red Room The official recruiting lounge of the Troy University football program, the "Red Room" is also a player lounge during the week.

Troy Locker Room With accommodations for 95 players on game day, the Troy football locker room serves as a “home base” for the Trojans during the season.

Training Room The Troy Athletic Training facility moved into its new, state-of-the-art facility on the second floor of the Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium tower in January of 2005. A staff of four full-time trainers and an on-site physician are available to assist athletes with treatment of injuries and maintaining overall wellness. The Athletic Training Department offers Troy University student-athletes the best possible opportunity for the treatment and rehabilitation of injuries.

Weight Room The Athletic Department's strength and conditioning facility is located on the first floor of the Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium tower, having moved into the new facility in January of 2005.

The strength and conditioning program at Troy University continually produces prepared and conditioned athletes for the highest level of collegiate competition. Strength and Conditioning Coach Richard Shaughnessy heads the program that works with Troy's 17-sport athletics program. Under Shaughnessy's direction, the program has achieved new heights. The current weight room, located on the first floor of the Movie Gallery Stadium Tower, has been a major factor in its success. The program plays a key role in the department's efforts to build a comprehensive and competitive athletics program. It also works to provide all Trojan studentathletes with a winning edge in preparation for the playing field. The 10,000-square-foot weight room accommodates more than 420 student-athletes. It is designed with all sports in mind with more than $100,000 in equipment. It houses cardiovascular equipment, hammer systems, power racks and a variety of leg apparatuses. Cross-training equipment and a multi-station crossover machine are among the items that have also recently been added. University courses are also taught in the facility throughout the year. The strength and conditioning staff trains and monitors each of Troy's 17 athletic teams in order to determine progress and preparedness. All athletes are tested a minimum of three times per year, according to different categories. Each member of the football team is ranked by a point system, according to the athlete's progress in the following 12 categories: bench press, squat, hang clean, vertical jumps, height, weight, 40-yard dash, 12-yard dash, box jumps, dots, jump ropes and 225 reps. The squad is broken up into seven levels from highest to the lowest: Elite, Exclusive, Ultra, Super, Champion, Player and Trojan. Ample and efficient equipment along with an experienced and determined staff allows the strength and conditioning program to constantly produce successful and prepared athletes for Troy.

Troy University has long been a leader in the field of athletic training. In 1990, the establishment of a four-year curriculum only strengthened the University’s commitment to this vital area of athletics. The athletic training staff is committed to not only providing exceptional healthcare to student-athletes, but also to providing outstanding education to student trainers. The coursework, which is accredited by the National Athletic Trainers Association, prepares students to become certified athletic trainers while working closely with the athletics department and gives them invaluable hands-on experience. The program assigns at least one certified trainer to work with each varsity sport on campus. John “Doc” Anderson, who returned to Troy following an 11-year stint as head trainer at Louisiana State, started the academic program in 1991 and continues to oversee its progress as curriculum director. Anderson was Troy’s head athletic trainer for 13 years prior to leaving for LSU in 1980. Head athletic trainer Chuck Ash, who coordinates all aspects of the athletic training program, has been with Troy for 18 years. Ash is assisted by three full-time trainers: Cherise Crisman, Diana Montgomery and Allison Steed, all of whom graduated from Troy University. The program also employs six graduate assistant trainers. In January of 2005, the athletic training program moved into its new, state-of-the art, facility on the second floor of the Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium tower. The new facility includes expanded rehab and treatment areas, hot and cold tubs for treatment of injuries, new staff offices as well as room for a medical clinic with examination rooms and x-ray facilities.

2007 TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Since joining the Division I ranks in 1993, Troy University has continued its long legacy of athletic excellence. Here's a look at some of the highlights the Trojans have enjoyed in fooball since moving to Division I in 1993: • The football team won three Southland Football League titles and made eight appearances in the Division I-AA playoffs, advancing to the semifinals twice. In 2004, the Trojans defeated a ranked opponent for the first time and went to a bowl game. • Former defensive lineman Al Lucas won the Buck Buchanan Award as the most outstanding defensive player at the I-AA level. • Troy has had at least one player drafted into the NFL every season but two since joining the Division I ranks. • Two Trojans were drafted in the top of the NFL Draft two consecutive years. Osi Umenyiora was selected by the New York Giants in 2003 as the 56th pick in the second round. The following year defensive standout Demarcus Ware was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round as the 11th overall selection. • Since joining the Sun Belt Conference Troy has participated in post-season play twice. First in 2004 when the Trojans recieved an at-large bid to play in the Sicilion Valley Bowl in San Jose, Calif. Troy won the Sun Belt Conference title in 2006 which gave them an automatic bid to play in the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in New Orleans, La.

• Troy has also had 12 athletes sign free agent contracts. • Currently there are eight former Trojans playing in the NFL. • 14 Troy athletes have recived All-America honors. • Troy defeated nationally ranked Missouri in Movie Gallery Stadium 24-14 on Sept. 9, 2004. • Troy has had 80 athletes named to all-conference teams.

For the members of the 2006 Troy University football team, the trip to New Orleans for the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Even for the players who were on the 2004 team and made the trip to San Jose for the Silicon Valley Football Classic, the trip to New Orleans was completely different. Two of the Trojans, junior Gary Banks and Marcus Richardson, shared their thoughts and experiences during the week leading up to the bowl with readers on Troy’s official athletics web site, www.TroyTrojans.com. Some of their thoughts and experiences during the week are recapped here. Upon arrival in New Orleans on December 18, the team, coaches and staff were treated to an evening of bowling at the historic Rock-nBowl near the Garden District. The event featured a New Orleans jazz band and plenty of cajun food, in addition to the bowling. “We were greeted by a band playing New Orleans’ style music, like the kind you see on TV,” Banks said. “They had great food to eat (shrimp pasta, jambalaya, red beans and rice, wings, mozzarella sticks, and egg rolls) to go along with a fun time bowling against your teammates.” “Everyone welcomed us with open arms,” Richardson said. “We listened to great music, ate great Louisiana style food, and, best of all I finally got to show my bowling skills off to my teammates. These are the times that we, as a team, will remember forever, so we are all trying to make sure we take full advantage of all the opportunities we have.” After a night of bowling and some time in the French Quarter, it was back to the practice fields for the Trojans. The team spent the week working out at the New Orleans Saints’ facility in Metairie. The 20-minute bus ride to the facility proved to be an eye-opener. “I noticed the damage that was still present from Hurricane Katrina and the fact that there aren’t many people living in those areas anymore,” Banks said. “After practice we went to Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant where I had gumbo for an appetizer and Lt. Dan’s bourbon shrimp for an entrée.” “The cool thing about practice was the place,” Richardson said. “It had to be the nicest facility I’d ever seen. The fields were nice beyond belief. I don’t know how good my chances are of playing in the NFL one day, but I relished every moment of being there.”

On Wednesday the team got to see up close the damage left by Hurricane Katrina. “We took a tour of New Orleans and saw some of the areas that were badly affected by the storm,” Banks said. “We went to the lower 9th Ward, which was pretty much deserted because of the damage. In most cases there wasn’t anything left but cement slabs where a houses used to stand. “After the tour I had the opportunity to go to the children’s hospital, which was a humbling experience. It was refreshing to see those kids’ eyes light up when we entered their room. We autographed footballs for them and sang happy birthday to a little girl named Amari. Visiting the children’s hospital and seeing the disaster area really help me put a lot of things in perspective.” “It was sad because we saw people still trying to get there lives back together and working on the houses they lost,” Richardson said. “People had to write on the houses how many people were dead inside the houses after the damage and it was sad how many people had to write those numbers on their houses. “Immediately after the tour we visited the children’s hospital. The experience changed my entire outlook on life.” As game-day approached, the trip changed from a pleasure trip to a business trip. That began to crystalize in the players’ minds on Thursday when they visited the Louisiana Superdome for the first time. But, before that, there was the banquet that both teams attended. “It was a first-class event with lunch and a speaker to motivate us to play the best that we can,” Richardson said. “We ate some great jambalaya and really enjoyed the entrance of our band. The Sound of The South did great.” “The Superdome was amazing, it was everything that you thought it was,” Banks said. “All I could think of was the many great players and great games that have been played there.” Several players, including Banks and Richardson, stayed behind at the dome after the team picture to meet with the ESPN TV and radio crews for the game. “Many years ago, I saw Charles Woodson do all the things we did and I dreamt that one day I would do the same,” Richardson said. “It was fun, but Brannon (Condren) got nervous and couldn’t talk loud at first, but we finally got it done.” When game day finally arrived, the Trojans were ready. “My stomach was in knots and I was anxious all day long,” Banks said. “It was a late game, so you think about it all day. When we left the hotel and saw the fan support that we had, it was unbelievable. They were lined up on our way to the bus. “I couldn’t wait to get to the field. When we got there to the stadium, it was like ‘Ok… it’s time’. We worked so hard to get here.” “We came out and played like a team,” Richardson said. “Words can’t express how happy we are. We worked so hard in the weight room last year and in the hot sun this summer … when it was 100 degrees out there, we were working for this day. I can’t stress how hard we worked as a team. To finally achieve something like this is unbelievable, really unbelievable.” After the celebration, the Trojans who are coming back this year had only one thing on their minds for 2007 – getting back to New Orleans to do it all over again.

Troy became one of the first schools in the Deep The Troy University football program unveiled a newly renovated, $18 million Movie Gallery Veterans South to install the turf. Ole Miss, Princeton, the U.S. Stadium as the final piece of its Division I-A move in Naval Academy, the U.S. Military Academy (Army) fall 2003.

As the country’s largest and fastest growing multimedia rightsholder, ISP Sports serves as an active partner with more than 40 of America’s leading universities, four major conferences and two postseason bowl games.

ISP will be responsible for maintaining and growing the Sun Belt’s array of corporate partners, as well as being closely involved with the marketing opportunities available at all conference championship events. Within the past year ISP has formed similar partnerships with both the Big East and Mid-American Conference and also works closely with the Atlantic Coast Conference as producer of a national radio network for that league in football and basketball. “Our association with the most prominent marketing company in college sports signals a gigantic step forward for the conference,” Sun Belt Commissioner Wright Waters said. “We appreciate ISP’s confidence in our product and pledge our support to make this a profitable venture for all involved. “The vision that (ISP Sports President) Ben Sutton has had for the past 20 years of how intercollegiate athletics should be marketed is truer today than ever before. He treats people, institutions and corporate partners with respect, and creates win-win partnerships for everyone.”

Defensive Line Talent Is Deep Up front, the Trojans have a chance to be as deep, and as talented, as any Troy defensive line in many years. Six returning linemen have extensive playing experience and another, senior Chris Bradwell (Jacksonville, Fla.), started as a true freshman at Florida State. A pair of seniors, end Shawn Todd (Crestview, Fla.) and nose tackle Marcus Pittman (Broadway, NC) will be the leaders up front, but junior tackle Steve McLendon (Ozark, Ala.) and junior end Kenny Mainor (Brunswick, Ga.) are veteran contributors as well. Mainor led the Trojans with 6.5 sacks last year and his backup, sophomore Brandon Lang (Tucker, Ga.) had 4.5 more. The return of Bradwell and junior tackle Maurice Coleman (Eufaula, Ala.), who both missed last season, bolsters the front line even more. Throw in junior college signee Dion Gales (New Orleans, La.), who was rated as a five-star recruit, and the Trojans’ defensive line gets deep in a hurry. “Bradwell gives us a boost with his sheer ability and Coleman should give us some reliability and some football smarts,” Blakeney said. “Bradwell gives us an edge type of guy who can play on the inside. “Gales is a three technique and he gives you a chance to mix and match in passing situations to get your best pass rushers out there. Pitt is probably more of a natural three and McLendon is more of a natural nose, but they are both pretty tall and can play both positions.” A couple of younger players, sophomore Akeem Brown (Brunswick, Ga.) and junior Brandon Suggs (Russelville, Ala.) also showed improvement in the spring and

may find their way into the mix.

Filling Void at Punter A Concern The only major question mark, other than the offensive line, entering the fall is at punter. Senior Adrian Vera (Houston, Tx.) has the best leg, but has struggled with consistency. Senior place kicker Greg Whibbs (Pensacola, Fla.) could challenge for the job in the fall, but so could freshman signee Will Goggans (Douglas, Ga.) and a group of walk-ons. “It looks like Adrian Vera will be the punter, but Whibbs is certainly an accomplished kicker and we are looking for him to have his best year,” Blakeney said. “We also are replacing our snapper and holder, and those are very important jobs.” Sophomore Derrick Thomas (Elba, Ala.) emerged as the replacement as the long snapper for graduated Zach Yenser while Silvoy is the leading candidate to be the holder with another receiver, Zack Marcum, serving as the backup. “We have to refine that area and make sure we are on top of that situation,” Blakeney said. I have asked all of those guys to get on a good work schedule this summer and I think the kicking game will be good.” The return game will again be in the capable hands of McKelvin, who has returned punts, kickoffs and interceptions for touchdowns in his career. Mack will again serve as his backup on punt returns and will be the other deep man on kickoffs.

2007 COACHING STAFF

Larry Blakeney is a winner. Always has been. From his time as a quarterback at Auburn, to his highly successful high school coaching career, to his 14 years as an assistant coach at his alma mater when the Tigers enjoyed an unprecedented run of success, Blakeney has always been associated with winning and a job well done. His tenure at Troy has been nothing less. During his 16 years as head coach, he has led the Trojans to a 128-64-1 record. Already the school’s longest-serving and winningest head coach of all time, Blakeney has led the Troy football program to an unequaled run of success that has taken the Trojans from Division II, to Division I-AA, and now to the grandest stage of all - Division I-A. The Trojans took a huge step forward in 2006, capturing their first Sun Belt Conference title and winning the first bowl game in school history, a decisive 41-17 victory over Rice in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. That victory completed an 8-5 record, the best for the Troy program since the move to Division I-A. In 2004, the Trojans took another leap earning a 7-5 record and the school’s first-ever bowl bid with a trip to the Silicon Valley Classic. The grand unveiling of a renovated Movie Gallery Stadium was a 24-14 upset of Missouri that was televised live by ESPN. In 2003, the Trojans posted a 6-6 mark against one of the most challenging schedules in the nation, which included eight road games and contests against traditional powers Kansas State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Virginia. In addition, the Trojans faced and defeated Marshall and UAB and played four schools from the Sun Belt Conference. In 2003, Troy defeated four Division I-A foes, the most in school history in a single season. The Trojans played their first official season as a I-A member in 2002 after going 7-4 in their I-A “transition' season in 2001. Included in the 2001 win total were three wins over I-A foes and a monumental upset of Southeastern Conference power Mississippi State, the school's first win over a BCS-conference school. Of the team's four losses, three came against opponents ranked in the top 15 nationally - national runner-up Nebraska,

2007 COACHING STAFF 15th-ranked Maryland and national champion Miami. In 2002, the Trojans were 4-8 against a schedule that included games against two SEC schools, three Big 12 opponents, in-state rival UAB and perennial bowl participant Marshall. The Troy defense finished fourth in the nation in total defense in 2002 despite the challenging slate. While a Division I-AA member, the Trojans enjoyed their most successful run in school history. Over eight seasons, the Trojans advanced to the national semifinals twice and the I-AA postseason seven times, including a NCAA-record four consecutive seasons after making the move to I-AA in 1993. When the Trojans jumped to Division IA status, Blakeney again made NCAA history — becoming one of only two coaches to lead a program from Division II to Division I-A, joining UCF’s Gene McDowell.

Blakeney’s journey began on Dec. 3, 1990, when he was hired as the 20th head coach in school history. During the 1980s, Troy won two Division II national championships, but the program was a rebuilding project upon Blakeney’s arrival. In the three years prior to him accepting the job, the Trojans had combined for a 13-17 record. His first two seasons came during the transition period in the move to I-AA status. The program was still technically Division II, although it was not allowed to compete in the playoffs. Blakeney’s first squad finished 5-6, but a 10-1 second year, which included a 41-7 win over I-A member

2006 SUN BELT CHAMPIONS • 2006 NEW ORLEANS BOWL CHAMPIONS

2007 COACHING STAFF Arkansas State, gave Troy fans a glimpse of what was to come. Troy hit its first full season of I-AA play running in 1993 when Blakeney led the Trojans to a 12-1-1 finish and a berth in the I-AA semifinals. The 100-1 regular-season finish was the program’s first undefeated season in school history while playing a complete schedule. Troy finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the country by the Sports Network. The following season brought an 8-4 record and another berth in the playoffs. The Trojans lost in the first round at James Madison, but they proved they deserved a spot among the elite programs, finishing the year ranked 12th. The 1995 season brought the first unbeaten and untied regular season to the school annals when Troy took an 11-0 record into the postseason before losing in the first round to Georgia Southern. Troy entered the playoffs ranked No. 3 in the nation that season. For all of the success the team enjoyed in its first three I-AA seasons, Blakeney’s rebuilding skills were displayed once again during the 1996 season after the loss of 23 seniors from the 1995 squad. Going into its first season of play in the Southland Football League, the Trojans won the league, posting a 5-1 mark and a 10-1 overall record. Troy finished the year 12-2 and again marched to the I-AA semifinals. That netted a fourth-place finish in the Sports Network Top 25 and a No. 12 ranking in the ESPN/USA Today poll. The 1996 seniors certainly left their mark, finishing their careers as the all-time winningest class at Troy with a 438-1 mark over four years. That

The Trojans became the first team in NCAA history to advance to the I-AA playoffs in their first four seasons of eligibility and finished with seven playoff berths in eight full seasons of I-AA membership. Untimely injuries and four losses by seven points or less doomed the 1997 team as it slipped to a 5-6 record despite an early-season ranking that saw the Trojans rise as high as No. 2 nationally.

Personal Data

Franklin joined the University of Kentucky football staff in 1997 following 16 years as a high school football coach. During his four year tenure at UK, the Wildcats enjoyed unprecedented success on the offensive side of the ball, including setting several NCAA, SEC and school records. After coaching running backs for three seasons, Franklin was named offensive coordinator for the 2000 season and led the Wildcats to the nation’s second best passing offense, as well as the nation’s 11th best team in total offense. Franklin was also named one of the top 10 recruiters in the South during his four years at Kentucky as he helped lead the Wildcats to their first back to back bowl appearances in 15 years and their first New Year’s Bowl game appearance in 50 seasons. In 2001, Franklin authored a nationally acclaimed book, Fourth Down and Life To Go, which chronicled the good, bad and ugly experiences of his college football journey. In 2003, Franklin was chosen to lead the expansion franchise Lexington Horsemen football team in their inaugural season in the NIFL. The Horsemen exceeded expectations for an expansion franchise and earned a birth in the playoffs with a 9 5 record, while setting records for attendance and leading the Atlantic Division in scoring, at more than 50 points per game, and passing offense. USA Today took notice of Franklin’s football coaching and teaching abilities in a feature story in 2005 which detailed his consulting successes as a nationally sought after offensive football coach. Franklin also received rave reviews for his second book, Victor’s Victory, which chronicled the tragic death and spectacular life of 15 year old Hoover High football player, Victor Dionte Hill. Hill died from sudden cardiac arrest on the football practice field during one of Franklin’s consulting sessions. The book has helped to continue the mission of Cheryl Hill, Victor’s mother, to make teachers, coaches, and parents aware of the need for automatic external defibrillators (AED’s) in every school and youth organization in Alabama. Franklin’s wide open offensive attack spreads the ball to players in an unusually fast paced, no huddle scheme. The offensive philosophy also features the running backs by getting the ball to them in several methods. Franklin’s two back combinations at Kentucky out gained any two back combinations in the SEC in total yards from scrimmage for three straight seasons. Quarterbacks Tim Couch, Dusty Bonner, and Jared Lorenzen each led the SEC in passing during their tenure as UK’s quarterback and Couch was the first player selected in the 1999 NFL draft. Several other UK players reached their goals in making NFL teams after their experience in the high powered offense. Franklin achieved both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in education from Murray State University where he was a two year starter as a running back. He is married to Laura Franklin and they have three girls: Chelsea (22), Caroline (19), and Caitlin (18).

2007 TROY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

SUN BELT CONFERENCE While there are 31 NCAA conferences that sponsor multiple sports, the Sun Belt is one of only eleven to participate in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and Division I-A football, now known as the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Sun Belt was formed in 1976 with six members competing in four men’s sports, and today comprises 13 institutions of higher learning while sponsoring 19 championship sports for Commissioner men and women. Wright Waters The Sun Belt Conference enters its 33rd season in 2007-08 with a proud history of athletic and academic success. The conference sponsors 10 women’s sports - basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball; and nine men’s sports – baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and individual accomplishments, and 12 Sun Belt Conference schools are currently graduating its student athletes at a rate higher than their school’s student body. All Sun Belt schools are committed to excellence in the 21st century, and facility upgrades and expansion are occurring on virtually every campus. Because of its status as a member of the Division I-A football coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 16-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league. Adding volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. The conference’s regional television package enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach over 20 million households. Additionally, ESPN televised the men’s basketball championship game for the 27th straight season in 2007, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The Sun Belt Conference has partnered with XOS Technologies, Inc. to deliver a full-service, customized, public and premium web site to provide fans with a broad range of real-time information and content about the conference’s athletic teams. The Sun Belt is one of the few conferences in the nation to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology serves as a great recruiting tool for schools by enabling anyone in the world with internet access to view the conference’s championship events, and fans in five different countries viewed the most recent soccer championship. The conference’s first 30 years have produced numerous individual national champions along with Olympic

126

track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (Florida International). Old Dominion’s Anne Donovan received the Naismith Trophy recognizing the nation’s top women’s basketball player in 1983, helped the United States win the Olympic gold medal in 1984, and helped the Lady Monarchs capture the national championship in 1985 (one of eight women’s Final Four appearances by Sun Belt schools). Sun Belt teams have also participated in the men’s NCAA Final 4 (UNC-Charlotte in 1977), the College World Series (Louisiana-Lafayette in 2000), the women’s College World Series (Louisiana-Lafayette in 1993, 1995, 1996, 2003), and had 10 players selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. The Sun Belt Conference is led by Commissioner Wright Waters, who is in his eighth full year as commissioner. He was named the conference’s fourth commissioner in February of 1999 following the tenures of Vic Bubas (1976-1990), Jim Lessig (1990-1991), and Craig Thompson (1991-1998). The league’s annual all sports champion is awarded the Vic Bubas Cup, named after the conference’s first commissioner. The conference office has been headquartered in downtown New Orleans since 2000 after moving from suburban Metairie, La., where it had been based since 1991. Prior to moving to the “Big Easy,” the league was based in Tampa, Fla., from 19771991. The original conference office was located in Charlotte, N.C., from 1976-77.

2006 SUN BELT CHAMPIONS • 2006 NEW ORLEANS BOWL CHAMPIONS

2006 RECAP Troy 38, Alabama State 0 September 2, 2006 Movie Gallery Stadium Troy, Ala. TROY, Ala. -- The unveiling of the new offense did just as it was expected for the Troy University Trojans in the 2006 season opener as junior quarterback Omar Haugabook threw for four touchdowns in a 38-0 victory over Alabama State. The new offense proved successful as Troy had a total of 429 yards on 77 plays, gathering 24 first downs with a total of five touchdown passes. With the new offense, Haugabook set a Troy Division I record for touchdown passes in game with four. The previous was set at three by four former quarterbacks. Sophomore Julian Foster was the last Troy quarterback to set the record with three against Florida Atlantic. Haugabook finished with 20 completions in 32 attempts for 171 yards and one interception before leaving the game with dehydration. Junior Gary Banks also set a new Troy Division I record for touchdown receptions in a game with three. Jason Samples set the previous record with two against Middle Tennessee on Nov. 20, 2004. Banks, the leading receiver for the game, finished with eight receptions for 75 yards, including scoring plays of six, 13, and 23 yards. The victory improved Troy’s record under Blakeney to 16-0 in home openers. The offense struggled to get on track in the first quarter gaining only 85 yards and committing three turnovers. But things quickly turned around in the second quarter as Troy scored 21 unanswered points and gathered 254 yards on offense. Troy’s offense wasn’t exactly what Alabama State expected either, gaining more yards on the ground (238) than in the air (191). Troy sophomore Anthony Jones led the ground game with 88 yards on 10 carries. Though the Troy offense finished strong, it was a rough start. With the offense not clicking at the beginning, the defense was on track all night. The defense gave up only eight first downs and 134 yards. Defensive linemen John Jackson, Junior Tagovailoa and Marcus Pittman all were able to reach the two ASU quarterbacks for sacks while senior linebacker Ryan Babb led the Troy defense with five tackles and two forced fumbles. After a scoreless opening period, Troy got on the scoreboard on its first possession of the second quarter. Haugabook capped a six-play, 73-yard drive with a 23-yard scoring pass to Banks. The Trojans added touchdowns on their next two possessions as well, going 58 yards in 14 plays and 19 yards in six plays. Banks hauled in a 13-yard TD pass from Haugabook on the second scoring drive while junior Mykeal Terry recorded the third score on a six-yard pass. In the third quarter it was senior Smokey Hampton who hit paydirt, scoring on a 12-yard pass from Haugabook. Banks added his school record third TD reception in the fourth quarter on a six-yard pass from sophomore Julian Foster. The Trojans posted their final points on a 39-yard field goal from junior Greg Whibbs to cap a six-play, 24-yard drive that was led by freshman quarterback Jonathan Chandler.

The Trojans (1-0) held Alabama State to just 134 yards of total offense, including just 65 net rushing yards. Hornets’ starting quarterback T’Chelpio Woods was able to complete just seven of his 14 pass attempts for 41 yards. Only one Hornets drive in the game ended in Troy territory, and that was their final possession of the game, which ended at the Troy 49 when the final horn sounded. The return game put Troy in a very good position much of the game. Picking up where he left off last season, junior Leodis McKelvin provided a huge spark for the Trojans, returning six punts for 86 yards.
