TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND is the largest university in the nation’s smallest state, but with 12,793 undergraduates and 3,111 graduate/professional students, URI is small enough to be friendly, intimate, safe and studentcentered. In part because of its of its unique location - six miles from Rhode Island’s coastal beaches and the Narragansett Bay - the University has developed strong marine programs and has been designated a national Sea Grant institution.

HISTORY

ACADEMICS

The University was chartered as the state’s agricultural school in 1888. The Oliver Watson farm was purchased as a site for the school, and the old farmhouse, now restored, still stands on the campus. The school became the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1892, and the first class of 17 members was graduated two years later. The Morrill Act of 1862 provided for the sale of public lands. Income from these sales was to be used to create at least one college in each state with the principal purpose of teaching agriculture and mechanic arts. From this grant of land comes the term “land grant,” which applied to the national system of state colleges. In a later adaptation of the concept, federal funds given to colleges for marine research and extension are called “sea grants.” In 1909 the name of the college was changed to Rhode Island State College, and the program of study was revised and expanded. In 1951 the college became the University of Rhode Island by an act of the General Assembly. The Board of Governors for Higher Education, appointed by the governor, became the governing body of the University in 1981.

The University conferred a total of 2,837 degrees at its 2008 Commencement, including 2,201 bachelor’s degrees, 481 master’s degrees, 68 doctoral and 87 doctor of pharmacy degrees (six-year pharmacy program).

THE FACULTY The University’s 589 faculty members are drawn from across the country and throughout the world. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 16.5-to-1, Rhode Island offers personal attention, as well as the resources of a large research university. While class size varies, two-thirds of all undergraduate courses are taught in classes of 29 students or fewer.

THE STUDENTS The University’s 12,793 undergraduate and 3,111 graduate/professional students come from all over the world. The 323 international students represent 64 different countries and regions.

DIVERSITY

ALUMNI INVOLVEMENT

The Multicultural Student Services staff is part of the Division of Student Affairs and sponsors programs and seminars for all students. Some examples of multicultural events are Asian Awareness Month; Black History Month; Cape Verdean Awareness Week; Career Day; Diversity Week; Latino Student Leadership Conference; Martin Luther King Week; Unity Weekend; and Women of Color Conference.

There are more than 100,900 active URI alumni. The states with the most active alumni are: Rhode Island, 43,107; Massachusetts, 12,518, Connecticut, 7,061; New York, 5,326 and New Jersey, 4,910.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

In 2009, the University opened several new buildings and research centers. Among them were the $54 million, 140,000 square-foot Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences on the Kingston camHOUSING pus, as well as the $15 million, 41,000 square-foot Ocean Science University students live in the 22 residence halls on campus, and Exploration Center and the Pell Marine Science Library at the which include rooms with provisions for students with disabili- Narragansett Bay Campus. ties.

Rhode Island is centrally located between three major cities - all easily accessible by car or train. Boston is about an hour away, while New York City is just under three hours away, and Hartford, Conn. is less than two hours away. Many of the adjoining states and sights in New England are just a short trip away by car, train or ferry. The smallest of the 50 states, “Little Rhody” was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams and also has the longest official state name - “The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantatnios.”

URI CORNERSTONES The University of Rhode Island is a principled community guided by values. As members of this community, we subscribe to the following principles, which form the foundation of our endeavors: • We pursue knowledge with honesty, integrity, and courage • We promote independent choice, intellectual curiosity, open-mindedness and free expression • We respect the rights and dignity of each individual and group • We reject prejudice and intolerance, and we work to understand differences • We accept personal responsibility for our actions and their consequences • We actively cooperate to improve the University, the state of Rhode Island, and the global community beyond our borders • We strive to be a community where the environment and property are treated respectfully • We seek to create and maintain an environment conducive to personal health and wellness • We work to develop skills which promote lifelong learning, leadership and service

A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY The University offers the only academic programs in the world that merge the disciplines of oceanography, ocean engineering, archeology and maritime history to study sunken ships of antiquity. Led by world-renowned oceanographer Dr. Robert Ballard, who found the Titanic, the program is focusing its research on Phoenician and Bronze Age ships in the Black Sea and eastern Mediterranean.

EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE The University of Rhode Island is the state’s largest university, with an enrollment of 12,793 undergraduate and 3,111 graduate/professional student on its four campuses. With nationally- and internationally-known faculty members engaged in a broad range of teaching, research and outreach activities, URI is renowned in many areas, including biotechnology, oceanography, environmental sciences, engineering, and public health promotion.

APPLICATIONS Applications to the University increased by 57 percent, from 9,111 in 1998 to 15,887 in 2008.

SELECTIVITY Admission was granted to 80 percent of those applicants in 2008, compared to 78.8% in 1998.

VALUE LEARNING In 2009, URI was ranked 15th nationally – and No. 1 in New England – by The Wall Street Journal’s SmartMoney magazine in a study of public and private colleges, examining the rela-

tionship between tuition costs and graduates’ earning power. The University was lauded for delivering a strong return on investment for its students.

MISSION The University of Rhode Island is the State’s public learner-centered research university. We are a community joined in a common quest for knowledge. The University is committed to enriching the lives of its students through its land, sea, and urban grant traditions. URI is the only public institution in Rhode Island offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional students the distinctive educational opportunities of a major research university. Our undergraduate, graduate, and professional education, research, and outreach serve Rhode Island and beyond. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni are united in one common purpose: to learn and lead together. Embracing Rhode Island’s heritage of independent thought, we value: • Creativity and Scholarship • Diversity, Fairness, and Respect • Engaged Learning and Civic Involvement • Intellectual and Ethical Leadership

The University is located in Kingston - in the heart of historic and picturesque South County with more than 400 miles of shoreline and 100 beaches, Rhode Island is well-known as the “Ocean State.” But Rhode Island has much more than sandy beaches. Many top companies have corporate offices and headquarters nearby and in the capital city of Providence, providing numerous opportunities for URI students and graduates.

AT URI, PERSONAL GROWTH IS ENHANCED BY the strength and quality of our student-athletes and coaches. Last year, the University of Rhode Island placed a total of 151 student-athletes on the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll (82 fall, 69 spring). Rhody men’s basketball head coach Jim Baron was inducted into the St. Bonaventure Athletics Hall of Fame for his contributions as a player and as a coach. Baron also was named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his head coaching career. Baseball head coach Jim Foster led Rhody to a trio of wins over nationally-ranked opponents and was an Honorable Mention for CollebeBaseballInsider.com’s National Coach of the Year award. In addition, Foster was named the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association’s Coach of the Year after guiding the Rams to a school-record 37 victories. Women’s tennis head coach Sandy Wood also received postseason honors as he was named Atlantic 10 Co-Coach of the Year.

The 2008-09 ACADEMIC YEAR

saw many of Rhode Island’s teams continue to build on their previous season’s successes. The Rhody baseball team led the way, recording a program-best 37 victories with wins over No. 8 Miami, No. 11 Oklahoma State and No. 25 Ohio State. Making their seventh consecutive appearance in the Atlantic 10 Championship - the league’s longest active streak - the Rams earned a first-round bye before defeating third-seeded Xavier (7-6) and top-seeded Dayton (9-2) to advance to the championship game. The URI women’s tennis program was equally as impressive, turning in a 15-4 record - including a perfect 6-0 mark in the fall - and winning its third consecutive New England Championship title. The Rhode Island men’s basketball team won 23 games en route to earning a spot in the postseason NIT for the second straight year while URI’s football team captured the Governor’s Cup for the third consecutive season and the sixth time in the last eight years. Appearing in A-10 tournament for the sixth year in a row in 2008, the Rhody men’s soccer program also holds the league’s best active streak for consecutive appearances at the conference championship. The URI men’s track & field squad captured the team title at the New England Outdoor Championship while placing second at the Atlantic 10 indoor and outdoor meets. The Rhody women, meanwhile, finished third at each of the conference championship meets while URI’s rowing team finished runner-up at the Atlantic 10 Championship.

URI’s student-athletes excel in the community

as well as in competition and the classroom. Members of Rhody’s 18 athletic teams participate in a wide-variety of community service projects, from clinics, to charity events to “Reading Week” - an annual department-wide venture which places student-athletes in local elementary schools. URI’s Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) helps organize many of these activities, as well as the highly successful “Pink Out” - which began in 2006 as the first-ever breast cancer charity event linked to an NCAA Division I men’s basketball game.

“We want to be champions in the three most important areas: in competition, in the classroom, and in the community.” -- Thorr Bjorn, URI Director of Athletics

University of Rhode Island student-athletes are active in the community, participating in activities such as: Walk to D’Feet ALS; Jonnycake Center Thanksgiving Food Drive; Date-a-Jock Charity Auction; the annual “Pink Out” to benefit breast cancer awareness; The Autism Project of Rhode Island walk (pictured above); Habitat for Humanity; Grassroots Soccer (pictured at right); and Reading Week.

Renowned regionally and nationally, the University of Rhode Island Sports Medicine department provides the best medical care possible to all varsity student-athletes. Led by Associate Athletics Director for Health & Performance Kim Bissonnette, the URI sports medicine staff works hand-in-hand with a full staff of some of the top orthopedic surgeons, medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, strength & conditioning coaches, and podiatrists. This ensures that URI student-athletes receive the very best in professional medical care. The entire URI sports medicine staff is devoted to the education, prevention, evaluation and rehabilitation of athletic related injuries. These individuals are dedicated to returning URI’s student-athletes to their sport in the safest and quickest manner as possible.

ACADEMIC ADVISING

URI is proud to offer its student-athletes an academic support system designed to foster responsibility and enthusiasm for learning. Individuals in need of additional academic support are assigned to a Learning Specialist. These advisors are experts in dealing with academically challenged students and offer close academic monitoring as well as ongoing needs assessments. During weekly meetings, student-athletes have the opportunity to discuss academic problems and work on time management/study skills. Because of their professional relationship with many of the faculty, our advisors are able to help students communicate effectively with their professors. They also assist with scheduling classes, selecting majors and researching internship opportunities. The Rhody Life Skills Program is committed to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;total developmentâ&#x20AC;? of the student-athlete. The program focuses on five commitment areas designed to promote personal growth: academic excellence, athletic excellence, personal development, career development and community outreach. In collaboration with campus and community resources, the Rhody Life Skills Program offers a variety of workshops, seminars, and activities designed to prepare URI's student-athletes for lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges beyond the playing arena.

The mission of the Fifth Quarter Club is to encourage the involvement and financial support of former players, alumni, parents, and friends to enhance the URI Football program. Its objective is to provide the additional resources necessary for the student-athletes and coaches to compete successfully â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regionally and nationally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereby allowing them to do their part in bringing honor, national recognition, and high public regard for the University of Rhode Island. In the last two years, outright gifts to the Fifth Quarter Club have grown by over 400%! This is a tremendous testament to the support and momentum behind the URI Football program.

In July 2008 the Fifth Quarter Club founded the 100 Yard Society to recognize its most generous annual supporters. This exclusive group includes all individuals who have made a total outright gift of $1,000 or more to the Fifth Quarter Club between July 1 and June 30. In addition, two special alumni – Guy Carbone ’86 and Bernie Moran ’85 – launched the Carbone/Moran Challenge to their former URI Football teammates. In the spirit of offense vs. defense, the “challenge” is to determine which side of the ball can raise more gifts to the Fifth Quarter Club before the June 2010 Fifth Quarter Club golf outing. Plus, anyone that makes an annual gift of $1,000 or more before that time, will join the existing members of the 100 Yard Society, and will be permanently recognized as Founding Members. The University of Rhode Island Athletics Department wishes to recognize the many individuals who generously contributed to the Fifth Quarter Club between July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2009. We’ve made every effort to ensure the accuracy of this list.

Meade Stadium, in its 79th year as the “Home of the Rams,” was constructed in 1928. On June 2, 1938, the facility was named in honor of the late John E. “Jack” Meade (Class of ‘15). A devoted fan, he was said to have never missed a home football or basketball game until his death in 1972 at the age of 78. Meade was the holder of the number one certificate as a registered professional engineer and was the deputy director of public works and engineer for the city of Providence for 32 years.

A powerful leader in the General Assembly, Meade was named by Governor Theodore F. Green to the Board of Regents for Rhode Island State College (later named the University of Rhode Island) and Rhode Island College of Education. He was honored with a lifetime award by the alumni association in 1938 and was a member of the URI Century Club. He was posthumously inducted into the Rhode Island Athletic Hall of Fame in 1972. Meade Field, as it was known in the early years, originally included only a few seats on the west side of the field. In 1933, a Football Field House was constructed, which served as the Rams’ locker room for years. A year later, the west concrete stands were constructed under the direction of athletic director Frank Keaney. The stands and a small press box were built to accommodate 1,500 fans. The facility was renamed Meade Stadium in 1978 when a 50row concrete, aluminum and steel grandstand opened bringing the seating capacity to 8,000 under the guidance of Athletic Director Maurice Zarchen. A larger press box, concession stand and rest room facilities were added in 1980. Total cost of the project was $600,000. New natural turf was installed in 1983

and a computerized scoreboard was added in 1986. During the summer of 2000, the field house and west grandstand were demolished to make room for The Ryan Center, reducing the seating capacity of Meade Stadium to 5,180. For two seasons, the Rams utilized a tent in front of the Tootell Complex as a locker room. When The Ryan Center opened in 2002, the facility housed a state-of-the-art football locker room, modern athletic training room and a locker room for coaches. In 2005, Dr. Robert Carothers, president of the University of Rhode Island, announced first phase plans to refurbish Meade Stadium. The first stage of the renovation included the installation of a new scoreboard and the refurbishment of the east stands of the stadium.

Bob Griffin - the winningest football coach in URI history - returned to the sidelines at Meade Stadium in 2008 and is in his second season as an assistant. In his role, Griffin coaches the tight ends and serves as a special consultant.

In 1985, the Rams finished No. 7 in the NCAA poll after going undefeated in the Yankee Conference (5-0) for the first time in their 39 years as a member. Six members of that squad went on to sign contracts with National Football League (NFL) teams.

Griffin arrived in Kingston in 1976 and spent the next 17 seasons patrolling the sidelines for the URI football team, where he became the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time coaching wins leader with 79 victories.

Griffin began his coaching career at URI under Jack Lilly in 1966 before departing to coach Bishop Hendricken High School in 1970.

He guided the Rams to back-to-back Yankee Conference Championships in 1984 and 1985 and a share of the title in 1981. All three of those squads qualified for the NCAA Playoffs. For his efforts, he was named the New England, Yankee Conference and Words Unlimited Coach of the Year in 1984 and 1985 as the Rams posted a 10-3 record in both seasons. Under Griffin, the 1984 team set or tied 103 records at the school, conference, New England, Eastern and National levels.

One year later, Griffin took over as offensive coordinator at Idaho State before being elevated to head coach in 1972. He spent four seasons as head coach of the Bengals, guiding them to a 21-20 overall record, and twice (1972, 1975) led them to a school-record seven wins (against three losses). Griffin was inducted into the Rhode Island Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996 and is also a member of the Providence Gridiron Hall of Fame.

WIDE RECEIVERS FIRST season Ryan Roeder is in his first season as the wide receivers coach at Rhode Island. Roeder comes to Kingston after spending the past three seasons as an assistant coach at Temple University where he worked with the wide receivers, tight ends and assisted the offensive line coach. Before heading to Temple, Roeder directed the Albany wide receivers in the spring of 2006 after coaching the running backs in 2005. He returned to his alma mater after spending the 2004 season as an assistant offensive line coach at Holy Cross.

ALL-TIME LETTERMEN 2009 RAMS

2009 season preview WELCOME BACK COACH

Paul-Etienne joins senior quarterback D.J. Stefkovich, junior Greg Wicks and sophomore Marc Lucarini.

Three months after he left Kingston for an assistant coaching position at Bowling Green, Joe Trainer was called back to Rhode Island and was named the school’s 19th head coach. In 2008, Trainer served as the Associate Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator where his defensive unit recovered 11 fumbles, which ranked in the top five of CAA Football.

A year ago, Stefkovich saw action against New Hampshire, Hofstra, Boston College, Villanova and Massachusetts.

Running Backs In Rhody’s first game of the 2008 campaign against Monmouth, the Rams suffered their biggest blow of the year as they lost preseason All-American running back Joe Casey for the remainder of the season. Although Casey was lost for the year, the three-time all-conference selection was granted a medical redshirt and will return for the 2009 season.

RAMS WELCOME BACK 19 STARTERS The 2009 edition of the Rhode Island football team welcomes back a lot of familiar faces this fall. In 2009, Rhody returns 19 starters, including eight on offense, nine on defense and two on special teams.

Casey was limited in spring practice this past April, but there is no denying that he will be able to breath some life into the Rhody ground attack. Since stepping on campus at URI in 2005, Casey has rushed for 2,915 yards and is within striking distance of surpassing former Rhody great Pat Abbruzzi’s alltime rushing mark of 3,389. Abbruzzi played for the Rams during the 1951-54 seasons. Joe Trainer was named the 19th coach in URI history over the offseason.

THE 2009 SCHEDULE International Bowl winner Connecticut, Ivy League champion Brown and NCAA Championship participants Maine, New Hampshire and Villanova highlight the Rams’ 2009 schedule. The Rams open the 2009 campaign at home on Sept. 5 when they play host to Fordham.

JOE CASEY RETURNS

Joining Casey in the backfield will be junior Anthony Ferrer and sophomore Ryan Lawrence. In 2008, Ferrer finished second on the team in rushing and scored three touchdowns on the ground. In his final game of the year against Northeastern, Ferrer helped Rhody send its 2008 seniors out with a win as he rushed for season-high 71 yards on just 10 carries. Lawrence returns to the squad after he saw significant action as a freshman, playing in 10 games. In the Blue and White Game, Lawrence scored a pair of touchdowns and rushed for 141 yards.

After missing most of the 2008 campaign with a leg injury, three-time allconference running back Joe Casey made his return to the practice field. The New York native needs just 475 yards to break the school’s all-time rushing record.

Wide Receivers With seven returning letterwinners, the Rhody receiving corps is arguably the Rams deepest position heading into the fall. Last season, four Rhody wideouts surpassed 450 yards receiving. This season, three of those four receivers return to the mix.

RAMS WELCOME FOUR TRANSFERS FROM RUTGERS Over the offseason, Rhode Island welcomed four transfers from Rutgers University, who will suit up for the Rams this upcoming fall in the form of quarterback Chris Paul-Etienne, tight end Tom Lang, wide receiver Robenson Alexis and defensive back Rob Cervini. Paul-Etienne and Lang will both have two years of eligibility at URI, while Alexis and Cervini will have three years of eligibility at URI.

Sophomore Brandon Johnson-Farrell leads the way after he was named AllCAA Football Third Team as a freshman. During his first season in Kingston, Johnson-Farrell led the team in allpurpose yardage (1,478) and team in receptions (57) as he caught a pass in every game during the 2008 season.

Quarterbacks In his first season in the new offensive system quarterback Derek Cassidy had a year for the ages as he threw for 2,759 yards and 15 touchdowns. Although Cassidy will not return this fall, optimism still remains high in Kingston as the squad welcomes quarterback Chris Paul-Etienne.

Brandon Johnson-Farrell was named All-CAA Football Third Team in 2008.

Paul-Etienne spent two years at Rutgers, but saw limited action as he played behind former Scarlet Knight quarterback Mike Teel. This spring, Paul-Etienne has spent most of his time running plays with the first team offense. At 6 foot, 3 inches, the URI junior showed his ability to stretch the field with the deep ball throughout spring practice. Quarterback Chris Paul-Etienne transfered from Rutgers in the offseason.

In his first appearance at Meade Stadium, Paul-Etienne did not disappoint as he combined for 252 yards of total offense (162 passing and 90 rushing) during the 2009 Blue and White Game on April 25.

Senior Shawn Leonard, who led the team receiving yards (647), yard per catch (14.7) and touchdowns (5), also returns. In 2008, Leonard registered a pair 100-yard receiving games against

Towson and Hofstra. Fellow senior Joe Bellini returns after he had a break out season in 2008, posting single season career-highs in receptions (43) and receiving yards (499). Freshman Tyquan Bynum, who redshirted last season, could also see some time in the fall. The Pennslyvania native had an impressive spring and saw significant time running plays with the first team offense. In addition to its returnees, the Rams also welcome Rutgers transfer Robenson Alexis.

W W W. G O R H O D Y. C O M

Tight Ends Senior David Wilson is the Rams lone returning letterwinner at tight end. Last season, Wilson played in all 12 games after he made the switch from defensive end. Sophomore Tom Lang, who transferred from Rutgers, will add some additional depth to the tight end position.

Offensive Line Rhody returns six letterwinners from last fall in the form of senior Carl Daniel, senior Robert Crudup, sophomore Jason Foster, sophomore junior Michael Gross, junior Dave Valley and Matt Vitti. The six returning letterwinners on the offensive line combined to play in 53 games and make 37 starts last season. Sophomore Kyle Bogumil will add some additional depth to the offensive line as he switched from defensive end to offensive tackle this spring. Last fall, the Rhody offensive line also allowed URI quarterbacks to throw for over 2,861 yards, which was its highest passing total in a single season since the 1994 campaign (3,015 yards passing).

Defensive Line Last season, the Rams featured a youthful front four in sophomore Victor Adesanya, junior Kirk Blackman, redshirt freshman Willie McGinnis and true freshman Matt Rae. This fall, the four starters returned to the practice field with a year of experience under their belts and will look to build on 2008 campaign, which saw them combine for 116 total tackles. The Rams also welcome back senior Steve Weedon. In 2008, the Rhody defensive end started the first three games of the year before suffering an injury, which sidelined him for the remainder of the year. In three games a year ago, Weedon registered 20 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and one sack.

Linebackers As a freshman in 2007, Matt Hansen appeared in 11 games for the Rams and had a strong season as he registered 73 tackles. In 2008, the Rhode Island native moved to linebacker and had a breakout season for the Rams as he led the the squad in tackles (111), tackles for loss (13.5), sacks (3), interceptions Starters Returning: 19 Offense: 8 WR - Joe Bellini OL - Carl Daniel WR - Nick DelGrosso OL - Michael Gross WR - Brandon Johnson-Farrell WR - Shawn Leonard OL - Dave Valley TE - David Wilson

(3) and forced fumbles (4). In addition, the Rhode Island native registered 10-or-more tackles in six games this season, including a career-high 15tackle performance against nationallyranked Maine (Nov. 15). Hansen also ranked among the CAA Football leaders in several statistical categories, including forced fumbles (first), tackles (second) and tackles for loss (fourth). Following his sophomore season, Hansen was rewarded for his efforts between the lines as he was selected to the All-CAA Football Second Team and to the FCS All-New England Team. This fall, the URI junior anchors a linebacker unit, which returns six letterwinners and two of three starters.

Linebacker Matt Hansen led the team in tackles with 111 in 2008.

Fellow junior Joe Harris returns to the squad following a sophomore season, which saw him make 12 starts and finish third on the team in tackles (62). In addition to his 62 tackles, Harris also posted 6.5 tackles for loss, which tied for second on the team. Adding some additional depth to the linebacker unit will be junior Rob Damon, who made the switch from defensive back to linebacker this past spring. Last season as a sophomore, Damon appeared in every game and started the first three games of the season. Damonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s switch to linebacker should provide the unit with some additional speed and help fill the void left by graduating senior Jeff Ball, who was second on the team in tackles (72) last season.

Defensive Backs This fall the Rhode Island secondary possess something it lacked a year ago. Experience. When Rhody opened the 2008 campaign against Monmouth, its secondary had combined for just nine starts. Heading into the 2009 season, Rhody has a combined 23 starts among its six returning letterwinners. Among the returnees is junior Jarrod Williams, who last season recorded 21 tackles. This past spring, Williams was named the Most Improved Defensive Player of spring practice. Sophomore Terence Glenn and senior Rodney Mitchell also highlight the Jarrod Williams was named the Most returnees in the secondary as they Improved Defensive Player this spring. registered 59 and 49 tackles a year ago, respectively.

ALL-TIME OPPONENT RECORDS

HOMECOMING Homecoming has been an official event at the University of Rhode Island since 1924. Since that time, the Rams have posted an overall record of 3744-1. There was no Homecoming from 1943-45 as Rhode Island canceled football in 1943 and 1944 due to World War II. Rhode Island has attracted 444,283 (an average of 7,165) fans in 82 Homecoming contests. The largest crowd in Meade Stadium history, 13,053, witnessed Rhode Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22-7 win over Boston University in the 1984 Homecoming contest. Last season, 6,704 fans came to Meade Stadium to see the Rams take on Villanova. Rhodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 attendance mark was its highest since 1998 when URI defeated Brown 44-16. This season, the Rams will host Homecoming on Oct. 17 when the Pride of Hofstra University return to Kingston. Date

CAA FOOTBALL

CAA FOOTBALL CAA Football fans thought the league’s opening season in 2007 was spectacular in terms of success. Little did they know 2008 would build off the previous season’s success, and include the league’s fourth National Championship. In 2008 as many as six teams ranked among the national Top-25 during the season, while both James Madison and Richmond had a stranglehold on the No. 1 spot over the last 11 weeks of the season. CAA Football upped its record of national player of the week honorees by earning 19 last season, compared to 15 accolades in 2007. All of the regular season success carried over into the postseason when, once again, CAA Football equalled its own record by placing five squads in the NCAA Division I Football Championships. Prior to the 2007 season no conference had earned more than four berths in one season, and CAA Football has now done it twice in two seasons. The CAA Football dominance in the regular season carried over into the postseason as four of its five playoff squads advanced to the quarterfinal round. Both James Madison and Richmond moved on to the final four, marking the ninth time in 12 years a CAA Football squad has competed in the semifinals. Richmond logged a come-frombehind win over Northern Iowa in the semifinals, giving the league its fifth National Final berth in six seasons. The Spiders then went on to dominate Montana in the Championship game, 24-7, to earn the league’s first NCAA crown under the CAA Football banner. Richmond’s National Championship was also the league’s fourth in 10 years and third over the last six seasons. Following the season, the league boasted six Top-25 teams, four Top-10 squads and notched a total of 78 All-America honors. The quality and depth of CAA Football is unmatched in the FCS. Ten of the league’s 12 teams have participated in the NCAA playoffs over the past eight seasons and at least one team has advanced to the national semifinals in nine of the last 12 years. In 2004, James Madison claimed the national championship with a 31-21 triumph over Montana, becoming the first team to reach the title game by winning three road playoff contests since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986. Delaware rolled past Colgate 40-0 to capture the national championship in 2003, becoming the first team to ever post a shutout in the title game. No other conference has had two different teams win national titles in back-to-back years. Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998, beating perennial power Georgia Southern, 55-43.

Along with the team accomplishments, the conference has accumulated numerous individual accolades. Santos (2006), William & Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) all have won the prestigious Walter Payton Award under the league banner. James Madison linebacker Derrick Lloyd received the Buck Buchanan Award in 2001. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005), James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999 & 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) have earned the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. Richmond’s Mike London (2008), Matthews (2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997)have garnered the American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year honor. The CAA Football geographic footprint encompasses much of the East Coast with schools located from Maine to Virginia. Members include Delaware, Hofstra, James Madison, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Northeastern, Rhode Island, Richmond, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operation control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. Since 1978, CAA Football members have accumulated 67 playoff berths, 19 Lambert Cups, 88 final top 25 rankings and 44 final top 10 rankings.

August 30, 2008 - Meade Stadium - Kingston, R.I.

Sept. 7, 2008 - Jack Coffey Field - Bronx, N.Y.

KINGSTON, R.I. - The Darren Rizzi coaching era began with a 27-24 Rhode Island victory over Monmouth as the Rams opened their 2008 season at home.

BRONX, N.Y. - The Rhode Island football team dropped its first road game of the season, losing, 16-0, at Fordham. The game was played on Sunday, postponed for a day due to poor weather conditions due to Tropical Storm Hanna.

Senior quarterback Derek Cassidy led the way offensively as he went 18-of-31 with a career-high 257 yards passing. Cassidy also accounted for three touchdowns two of which came through the air with another coming on the ground.

Senior quarterback Derek Cassidy attempted a career-best 41 passes, completing 25 of them, for 200 yards. Five Rams had at least three receptions, led by Ty Bynum’s five catches for 43 yards. Joe Bellini hauled in four catches for 62 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, sophomore linebacker Matt Hansen recorded a career-tying 10 tackles. The URI linebacker also collected an interception, which led to the Rams first score of the game.

Fordham opened the scoring in the first quarter thanks to a 33-yard field goal by Adam Danko. Danko’s field goal capped an eight play 58-yard drive that spanned 4:03.

The Rams got on the board first thanks to a 26yard touchdown pass from Cassidy to junior wide receiver Tolbert Evans. Monmouth answered with a field goal following a seven play, 47-yard drive that spanned 2:47.

In the second quarter, Fordham struck again as quarterback John Skelton hit receiver Jason Caldwell for an 87-yard touchdown pass, which put the Rams up 10-0. They tacked on a fourth quarter TD, on a 50-yard pass from Skelton to Asa Lucas, making it 16-0.

Rhode Island would then score 10 unanswered points to take a 17-3 halftime lead. Cassidy scored on a three-yard quarterback keeper and kicker Louis Feinstein booted a 47-yard field goal. The Rhody defensive unit held Monmouth to just 42 yards rushing, while on the offensive side of the ball URI outgained MU 162-138 in the first half. The Hawks would close to within three points with just over five and a half minutes to play in the third quarter as they engineered a seven play, 47-yard drive to cut the Rams advantage to 20-17.

Rhode Island struggled to move the ball offensively in the first half as they mustered just 84 yards of total offense. URI finished with 174 yards for the game. The Rams’ special teams had an outstanding day, blocking a punt and an extra-point, while getting excellent play from true freshman punter Tim Edger - 10 punts for 428 yards, including a long of 53 yards and five punts inside the 20.

Following Monmouth’s scoring drive, Cassidy guided the Rams back down the field for a six play, 72 yard drive to give the Rams a 27-17 lead that they would not relinquish.

September 13, 2008 - Meade Stadium - Kingston, R.I.

September 20, 2008 - Shuart Stadium - Hempstead, N.Y. HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - The Rhode Island Football team football dropped a 23-20 decision in the closing seconds on the road against Hofstra.

KINGSTON, R.I. - The Rhode Island Football team suffered its first home loss of the season losing 51-43 to No. 10/10 New Hampshire.

Hofstra freshman kicker Roger Williams connected on a 38-yard field with three seconds remaining after URI tied the game at 20 apiece with 47 seconds to go in the game.

Despite the loss, the Rams racked up a season-high 517 yards of total offense and threw for 480 yards. URI’s 480 yards through the air is the fourth highest single game total in school history. Both Rhode Island and New Hampshire (509) combined for 1,026 yards of total offense.

Rhode Island scored on its first drive of the game. The Rams took just five plays to go 73 yards. Senior Jimmy Hughes capped off the drive with a 37-yard touchdown run. Hughes’ rushing touchdown was his first of the season.

Senior quarterback Derek Cassidy completed 34-of-61 of his passes for 436 yards. Cassidy also accounted for four touchdowns, throwing for three and running for one.

After being held scoreless in the first quarter, Hofstra got on the board in the second quarter following a 21-yard field goal by freshman kicker Brian Hanly.

New Hampshire held a 31-10 lead with 14:42 to go in the third quarter, but the Rams responded with a touchdown on their next offensive play as Cassidy hit senior running back Jimmy Hughes for an 83-yard touchdown pass.

Less than two minutes later, Hofstra took a 9-7 lead. The Pride recovered Hughes’ fumble and three plays later, sophomore Everette Benjamin scored on a six-yard touchdown run.

The 83-yard touchdown pass was Cassidy’s longest his career, while Hughes’ touchdown reception was also the longest of his career. New Hampshire would then add a field goal to increase its advantage to 34-17 with 10:57 to play, but just eight minutes later the Rams closed the Wildcats’ advantage to just four points at 34-30. Cassidy scored on an eight-yard run to cut the lead to 34-24. URI would then find the endzone two and a half minutes later after Cassidy hit sophomore running back Anthony Ferrer for his second touchdown. Ferrer scored his first touchdown of the day in the second quarter on a one-yard run. New Hampshire Rhode Island

September 27, 2008 - Alumni Stadium - Chestnut Hill, Mass.

October 4, 2008 - Meade Stadium - Kingston, R.I.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Rhode Island dropped a 42-0 decision in rainy, windy conditions at Boston College.

KINGSTON, R.I. -The Rhode Island Football team successfully defended the Governor’s Cup as it defeated No. 25 Brown 37-13. URI’s win over BU marks the Rams’ third straight win over the Bears.

The Rams’ defense started strong in the first quarter, forcing the Eagles (3-1, 0-1 ACC) to punt away on their first three possessions - including a three-and-out near the end of the period.

Senior Derek Cassidy tossed a career-high five touchdowns to become just the second quarterback in URI history to throw for five scores in a single game. Cassidy completed 25-of-37 passes for 298 yards.

In the second quarter, BC swapped out its starting quarterback and began to focus on the run. Freshman running back Montel Harris scored his first of three rushing touchdowns with 10:53 left in the period, taking the ball into the end zone from five yards out to make it 7-0, BC.

Cassidy completed passes to eight different receivers. Freshman Brandon Johnson-Farrell led the way with a pair of career-highs as he recorded eight receptions and 72 yards.

After a three-and-out for the Rams on their next possession, BC began on the 50 yard line and found the endzone on just two plays - a 26-yard run by Jeff Smith and a 24-yard scoring scamper by backup quarterback Dominique Davis, making it 14-0 with 8:05 to go in the first half.

Rhode Island found the endzone on its second offensive series of the second quarter thanks to an 11 play 65-yard drive. Junior Joe Bellini caught two passes on the drive, including one on third down and 10 and the touchdown pass.

Two URI turnovers - an interception and fumble by quarterback Derek Cassidy - led to two more BC touchdowns. Smith and Harris rushed in from seven and three yards out, respectively, making it 28-0 at the half.

The Rams struck again just before the end of the half capitalizing on a block punt. Two-plays later, Cassidy hit Johnson-Farrell for an 11-yard touchdown pass. Freshman Louis Feinstein missed the extra point, but the Rams took a 13-0 lead into the locker room.

Rhody showed its special teams strength to start the second half, as Terence Glenn recovered an on-side kick by Louis Feinstein, to begin their drive at the BC48 yard line. That same drive, on 4th and 4, punted Tim Edger threw a nine-yard pass to Joe Bellini for a first down play. URI would drive to the BC 23, but Cassidy’s pass to tight end David Wilson on 4th and 1 went incomplete.

URI came out of the locker room and engineered a five play 66-yard drive to take a 20-0 lead on its first drive of the second half. Cassidy went 4-for-6 on the drive and hit Jimmy Hughes on a screen pass, which the URI senior took 45 yards in for the score.

On the first play of Boston College’s next drive, Willie McGinnis forced a fumble and recovered it on the Eagles’ 21 yard line. Cassidy looked to the end zone, but threw his second pick of the game, as Paul Anderson returned it 38 yards to the BC 44. Harris would rush eight times during the drive, crossing the goal line from three yards away, making it 35-0, with 5:42 to play in the 3rd quarter. Rhode Island Boston College

October 25, 2008 - Walter J. Zable Stadium - Williamsburg, Va.

November 1, 2008 -Meade Stadium - Kingston, R.I.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The Rhode Island football team dropped a 34-24 decision on the road to No. 23/23 William and Mary.

KINGSTON, R.I. - The Rhode Island football team was held scoreless as it fell 49-0 to No. 15/15 Massachusetts.

Senior quarterback Derek Cassidy threw for 225 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, passing for two and running for another.

With the loss, the Rams dropped to 2-3 at home this season. Rams’ quarterback Derek Cassidy tossed for 185 yards on 13-of-24 passing with no touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. Cassidy’s two interceptions were uncharacteristic for the URI senior, who came into Saturday’s game, having thrown just four picks at Meade Stadium all year.

The Rams scored on their first offensive series of the game. URI went 74 yards in seven plays spanning 1:09 to take a 7-0 lead. The Tribe responded on its first offensive series of the game as they went as they went 66 yards in seven plays in 3:43 to even the game at seven apiece. William and Mary freshman running back Jonathan Grimes capped the drive with 12 yard run. Both teams were held scoreless for the remainder of the first quarter.

Freshman wide receiver Brandon Johnson-Farrell led the team with four receptions. JohnsonFarrell has caught at least one pass in every game this season.

In the second quarter, Rhode Island scored the only points in the frame as freshman kicker Louis Feinstein drilled a 40-yard field goal. Feinstein’s field goal capped a 14-play 55-yard drive which lasted nearly eight minutes (7:54). The Rams went into the locker room with a 10-7 lead. URI outgained the W&M 212-115 and held the ball for over 20 minutes.

Junior wide receiver Joe Bellini paced the squad with 65 yards receiving. Bellini’s 65-yard output was the highest receiving total he has posted since URI’s game against nationally-ranked New Hampshire (Sept. 13) where he had a careerhigh 80 yards receiving.

William and Mary reclaimed the lead as it scored on its first offensive possession of the second half to take a 14-10 lead. Tribe senior quarterback Jake Phillips hit junior D.J. McAulay in the back of the endzone for an 18-yard touchdown pass. The Tribe added another touchdown on its next offensive series as sophomore Courtland Marriner scored on an eight-yard rush. URI responded with an eight play scoring drive to cut the W&M lead to 21-17. The drive was set up by a fumble recovery by sophomore Dan O’Connell. William and Mary would then score 10 points in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, including a 62-yard interception return for a touchdown, which gave the Tribe a 31-17 lead with 10:12 remaining to secure the win.

Defensively, URI sophomore Matt Hansen led the team with 8.0 tackles, including three that went for a loss. The Rams fell behind early as UMass got the scoreboard in the first quarter thanks to Tony Nelson’s two-yard touchdown rush. The Minutemen’s scoring drive was set up following an interception by UMass junior linebacker Josh Jennings. Jennings interception occurred on the Rams’ first offensive series of the game. Later in the quarter Nelson would find the endzone once again as he rushed in from 13 yards out, which pushed the UMass advantage to 14-0. Nelson’s second rushing touchdown of the game capped a six-play, 78 yard drive for the Minutemen. In the second quarter, UMass scored 21 points, which gave the Minutemen a 35-0 halftime lead that they would not relinquish. Massachusetts Rhode Island

November 22, 2008 - Parsons Stadium - Brookline, Mass.

KINGSTON, R.I. - The Rhode Island football team (2-9 overall; 0-7 CAA Football) fell 37-7 to nationally-ranked Maine on a wet and muddy day at Meade Stadium.

BROOKLINE, Mass. - Rhode Island (3-9 overall; 1-7 CAA Football) rushed for a season-high 211 yards, which propelled the Rams to a 29-14 victory over Northeastern Saturday afternoon at Parsons Field. URI’s win over the NU marks the second straight season Rhody has defeated the Huskies.

Senior running back Jimmy Hughes (Westport, Conn.) led the way offensively for the Rams as he rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries (4.5 yards per carry). The Connecticut native also scored the Rams’ only touchdown on the afternoon.

Senior Jimmy Hughes led the way offensively with 142 yards of total offense and one touchdown. The URI running back closed out his URI career with a season-high 93 yards rushing.

Hughes was one of 16 seniors honored in a ceremony before Saturday’s game.

Northeastern took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter following an eight-yard touchdown rush by sophomore running back John Giffin. Griffin’s touchdown capped an eight-play 57-yard drive that spanned 3:56.

Defensively for the URI, sophomore linebacker Matt Hansen led the way for the Rams as he tallied career-high 15 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss. This season, Hansen has registered 10-or-more tackles in six games. In addition, the Rhode Island native has registered 10-or-more tackles eight times in his career (vs. Brown 9/29/07; vs. UMass 11/3/07; vs. Monmouth 8/30/08; vs. New Hampshire 9/13/08; vs. Hofstra 9/20/08; vs. Towson 10/11/08; vs. Villanova 10/18/08; vs. Maine 11/15/08).

Rhode Island would even the score at seven in the second quarter after freshman Brandon Johnson-Farrell picked up a blocked punt and return it 32 yards for a touchdown. Junior Rodney Mitchell blocked the punt, which led to Johnson Farrell’s touchdown.

Fellow URI linebacker Jeff Ball (Lansdale, Pa.) also recorded double-digit tackles on the day as he finished with 11. Both teams were unable to score in the first quarter, but URI would break the scoreless tie in the second quarter as it engineered a 10-play, 80-yard drive, which spanned 4:39. Hughes capped the drive with a 16-yard rush. Senior quarterback Derek Cassidy (Winter Haven, Fla.) was 4-for-5 for 46 yards on the drive. Cassidy finished the day 18-of-31 for 128 yards. Maine responded with a drive of its own as it went 66 yards in five plays to even the score at seven points apiece. The Black Bears would then take a 9-7 lead as the defense tackled Cassidy in the end zone for a safety.

Rhody would then go on to reclaim the lead thanks to a 40-yard field goal by freshman kicker Louis Feinstein. Feinstein finished the game three field goals, including two from 40-or-more yards (40, 42). The Huskies responded with a touchdown on their next offensive series to take a 14-10 lead with 33 seconds remaining in the first half. NU senior Anthony Orio hit Griffin for an 11-yard touchdown pass. URI cut the lead to one following a 42-yard field goal, by Feinstein. The Rams drove 30 yards in the 26 seconds to set up the field goal as time expired in the first half. Rhody outgained Northeastern 150-126 at the half and limited the Huskies to just 37 yards passing. In the second half, URI scored on its first offensive series to take 19-14 lead. Hughes finished the drive on 11-yard rush, completing an eight-play 60-yard drive.

Following the Rams’ kickoff from their own 20-yard line, Maine would find itself back in the end zone just seven plays later as quarterback Michael Brusko hit wide receiver Tyrell Jones for a 12 yard touchdown pass.

Rhody would then extend its lead to 22-14 thanks to a 29-yard field goal by Feinstein with 4:19 to go in third quarter. URI secured the win with a 12-play 71-yard drive, which lasted 7:23. Redshirt sophomore Anthony Ferrer carried the ball six times for 39 yards on the drive, finishing with a three-yard touchdown run. Ferrer finished the game with 10 carries and a season-high 71 yards rushing.

2008 SEASON REVIEW

2008 SEASON RECAP HANSEN AND JOHNSON-FARRELL EARN POSTSEASON CAA HONORS Rhode Island sophomore linebacker Matt Hansen and freshman wide receiver Brandon Johnson-Farrell received Second and Third Team All-Conference honors, respectively. All honors were voted on by the league’s head coaches.

Cassidy Posts Career-High Passing Performance Against UNH On Sept. 13 against nationally-ranked New Hampshire, quarterback Derek Cassidy threw for a career-high 436 yards, completing 34-of-61 passes. In addition, the Florida native accounted for four touchdowns, passing for three and running for one.

THREE RAMS Earn CAA Weekly honors IN 2008 Rhode Island quarterback Derek Cassidy, kicker Louis Feinstein and Brandon Johnson-Farrell each earned CAA Football weekly honors during the 2008 regular season this season. On Sept. 1, Feinstein earned Rookie of the Week honors. Five weeks later on Oct. 6, Cassidy was selected as the league’s Player of the Week. In the final week of the season, Johnson-Farrell picked up Rookie of the Week on Nov. 24.

Looking Back At Cassidy’s Career Day Against New Hampshire Senior quarterback Derek Cassidy’s career-high passing performance against New Hampshire ranks among the school’s top 10 in several statistical categories for a single game, including yards (436, seventh all-time), longest pass completion (83, fifth all-time), completions (34, tied for eighth all-time), attempts (61, tied for eighth all-time) and most total yards by a quarterback (454, fifth all-time).

RAMS SEND SENIORS OUT WITH A WIN Jimmy Hughes and Anthony Ferrer combined for 164 rushing yards and two touchdowns as Rhode Island sent its senior out with a 29-14 victory over Northeastern 29-14 on Nov. 22. Hughes rushed for 93 yards on 21 carries for Rhode Island scoring on an 11-yard run early in the second half. Ferrer rushed 10 times for 71 yards and scored on a 3-yard touchdown run with just over two minutes remaining in the game. Derek Cassidy was 13-of-22 for 157 passing yards, while kicker Louis Feinstein connected on three field goals. Cassidy Wins Gold Helmet Award Rhode Island quarterback Derek Cassidy was honored as the winner of the Boston Globe Gold Helmet Award during the New England Football Writers weekly luncheon at Harvard’s Murr Center on Oct. 8. Cassidy received the weekly honor after he threw for a career-high five touchdown passes in the Rams’ 37-13 Governor’s Cup victory over Brown (Oct. 4). URI Defense Steps Up Against Brown (Oct. 4), Rhode Island’s defensive unit limited the then No. 25 Bears to just 13 points. Brown’s 13 points were the fewest URI allowed in 2008. Rams limit Boston College Air Attack The Rhode Island secondary limited Boston College to just 27 yards passing (Sept. 27). The Eagles’ 27 yards passing were the fewest the Rams have allowed all year. Offense Shines Once Again Against New Hampshire For the second straight year, Rhode Island recorded over 500 yards of total offense against New Hampshire. In the last two years, URI has racked up 1,054 yards of total offense against the Wildcats (537 in 2007; 517 in 2008).

Topping All CAA Freshmen In 2008, wide receiver Brandon Johnson-Farrell led all CAA freshmen in receptions per game (5.1). He also ranked third in the league in all-purpose yardage (123.2). Johnson-Farrell Off to a Fast Start Wide receiver Brandon Johnson-Farrell was the Rams’ top receiver last season with 57 receptions. As a freshman, Johnson-Farrell caught at least one pass in every game. In addition, the Maryland native led the team in all-purpose yardage with 1,478. Spreading the Wealth The Rhode Island receiving corps saw a dramatic rise in its statistical numbers in 2008 as the squad switched to the spread offense. Last season, four URI receivers have caught 40-or-more passes for 400-ormore yards. Shawn Leonard (647 yards), running back Jimmy Hughes (588 yards), wide receiver Joe Bellini (499 yards) and Brandon JohnsonFarrell (456) have each surpassed 400 receiving yards. In 2007, only three receivers surpassed 200 yards receiving. Hansen Reaches Double Figures in Tackles ... Again Linebacker Matt Hansen made his presence felt last year as he registered 10-or-more tackles in six games. In addition, the Rhode Island native has registered 10-or-more tackles eight times in his career (vs. Brown 9/29/07; vs. UMass 11/3/07; vs. Monmouth 8/30/08; vs. New Hampshire 9/13/08; vs. Hofstra 9/20/08; vs. Towson 10/11/08; vs. Villanova 10/18/08; vs. Maine 11/15/08). FUMBLE!!! Rhode Island forced 13 fumbles and recovered 11 of those miscues, which ranked fifth in CAA Football.

HISTORY

HISTORY The University of Rhode Island celebrates its 110th season of football in 2008. Led by first-year head coach Joe Trainer, the Rams look to ascend the ranks of the CAA Football, which is regarded as one of the best conferences at the Football Championship Subdivision level. When one things of Rhode Island football, names like Frank Keaney, Tom Ehrhardt, Pat Abbruzzi, Brian Forster, and Steve Furness come to mind. However, it's unlikely any of these men would have had the opportunity to play football at URI has it not been for a pair of student coaches back in 1985 who oversaw the first Ram football team. Three years later, Marshall Tyler became the first coach in school history. Tyler coached the Rams for 10 seasons and guided them to 23 wins. He would go on to be inducted into the University of Rhode Island Athletics Hall of Fame, and a building on campus - Tyler Hall - bears his name to this day. A trio of coaches - George Cobb, Robert Bingham, and Jim Baldwin followed in Tyler's footsteps over the next 11 seasons before Frank Keaney took over the program in 1920. Playing on an unnamed 'informal' field on the plains to the west of the main campus, Keaney led the Rams to 70 wins - a record that still stands among URI head football coaches. Keaney's Rams finished .500 or better in 11 of his 20 seasons, with the 1933 and 1934 squads winning six games each. Perhaps Keaney's finest coaching moment came in 1935, when the Rams defeated in-state rival Brown in varsity competition for the first time in school history, 13-7. It was during Keaney's tenure as head coach - March 8, 1923, to be exact - that the University first adopted the Ram as its mascot. On November 21, 1929, the first 'live' Ram appeared on the sidelines, and live mascots were housed on campus until the 1960's, when it was deemed no longer feasible to do so. A live mascot was used again in 1974, and then not again until 1983. The origin of the Ram is believed to have involved the University's historical agricultural thrust upon the founding of the institution in 1982 as the Rhode Island College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts under the Land Grant Act of 1962. Bill Beck and Paul Sieurzo followed in Keaney's footsteps from 1941-19 and combined to post a record of 17-26-2. Prior to the 1947 season, Beck's Rams became charter members of the Yankee Conference (later Atlantic 10 and currently CAA Football), joining six other Land-Grant Universities. Rhody opened play in the Yankee Conference with a bang, knocking off Massachusetts, 20-13. Hal Kopp took over the coaching reins in 1950 and spent five seasons patrolling the sidelines for URI, compiling a record of 28-11-2. His winning percentage of .707 ranks No. 1 in school history. In Kopp's second season as head coach in 1952 (he did not coach the team in 1951), the Rams snapped a 13-game losing streak to the Bears of Brown University when Bob DiSpirito's extra point sailed through the uprights, giving URI a 7-6 win over the rivals from Providence. The Rams would finish the season 7-1 overall and 3-1 in the conference, which gave them a share of the conference crown for the first time in school history. The seven wins marked the most in the 54-year history of the program and would later be matched by only four teams in school history - 1978 (7-3), 1982 (7-2), 1984 (10-3), and 1985 (10-3). The 1955 edition of the URI football team also etched their names into the record book as they became the first Ram team to advance to a bowl

The 1955 Rams participated in the Refrigerator Bowl. 94

Bernard Pina (14) and Rhode Island first met Brown in 1909. game. After tying two of their first three opponents to start the season, the Rams rallied back to win their final five games, outscoring opponents 11929 during that stretch, to finish 6-0-2 and earn its second Yankee Conference Championship in four years. From there, the Rams flew to Evansville, Indiana to take on Jacksonville State in the 8th annual Refrigerator Bowl. Considering there were only nine bowls for small college's, this was quite an accomplishment, so much so that morning classes were delayed for a rally on the quad to see the team off. In front of 8,500 fans at the Reitz Bowl on December 4, Jacksonville State bested the Rams 12-10. Following the season, Kopp was named New England Coach of the Year while OT Charles Gibbons, center Charles Hunt, OT Robert Novelli, and RB Eddie DiSimone earned First Team All-Yankee Conference honors. Herb Maack took over for Kopp prior to the 1956 season, and in five years as head coach led the Rams to a 17-22-2 mark. John Chironna coached URI in 1961 and 1962 before Jack Zilly took over the program. In Zilly's second season as head coach, URI played its first-ever night game, a 20-11 win over Northeastern at Mt. Pleasant Stadium in Providence. In 1970, Jack Gregory became the 14th coach in URI history, and produced a record of 22-33-3 over the next six seasons. The Rams played the first and only night game ever played at Meade Stadium in 1972, and fans who sat under the portable lights saw the Rams blank Hampton Institute, 270. One year later, Rhode Island made collegiate football history, becoming the first United States collegiate team to play American football on a European continent. The Rams traveled to Frankfurt, Germany for a contest against the U.S. Coast Guard, and flew home over the Atlantic with a 36-6 win in their back pocket. The game was dubbed 'The Turkey Bowl' and was broadcast throughout the world on the Voice of America and Armed Forces Radio Networks through the auspices of the URI Sports Network. The Rams opened Gregory's final season as head coach against St. Mary's University, which is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Under the lights at Cranston Stadium in Providence, URI shut out their neighbors from the north, 33-0 in the school's first-ever game regular-season game against an international opponent. Bob Griffin took over the program in 1976 and led the Rams to unparalleled success. During 17 seasons as head coach, Griffin led the Rams to a record 79 wins and three berths in the NCAA I-AA Playoffs. The Rams struggled in Griffin's first season, finishing with just a 3-5 record, but a 21-20 win over No. 1 New Hampshire in 1977 marked the start of the most successful stretch in URI football history. The 1978 season marked a series of changes for the URI football program. All of the schools in the Yankee Conference were elevated to the new NCAA I-AA alignment, while Meade Stadium was fitted with an additional section of seating as 50 rows of bleachers and a new press box were added (additional concession and restroom facilities would be added in 1980, and the flag grouping at the southwest corner of the stadium was dedicated to former director of athletics and Hall of Famer Maurice â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moâ&#x20AC;? Zarchen that same season). The additional increased stadium capacity to 9,000 and brought with it free seating on the lawns on either side of the west stands. The east side of Meade also became the home bench. The Rams finished the 1978 campaign

with a 7-3 mark, but stumbled the following season, going 1-9-1. Rhode Island posted a 2-9 record in 1980. After a series of 'Wait 'til next year' seasons, the Rams won the Yankee Conference with a 4-1 mark in 1981 (6-6 overall) and earned league automatic berth into the NCAA I-AA Playoffs. For Griffin, the berth marked a returned trip to Idaho State, where he spent four season as head coach of the Bengals. URI suffered a 51-0 loss in that firstround contest and would have to wait three more years before returning to the playoffs. The Rams posted a 13-8 combined mark over the next two seasons, going 7-4 in 1982 and 6-4 the following year. The Rams had a record 13 players earn all-conference honors in 1982, including the late Rich Pelzer, who was URI's first I-AA All-America selection in football. That same season, the Rams knocked off the Black Bears of Maine 58-55 in a then-NCAA record six overtimes. The contest - which took three hours and 46 minuets to complete - was the first OT contest in conference history and was honored with a special exhibit in the College Hall of Fame. CBS-TV came to Kingston in 1983 to regionally televise the return matchup between the two teams. The Rams did the capacity home crowd proud, sending the Black Bears back to Orono with a 24-16 loss in what was the first televised game in Meade Stadium history. The 1984 edition of the URI football team set team records for wins in a season as it posted a 10-3 record and advanced to the playoffs for the second time in school history. The Rams set the tone for their run early in the season, defeating Boston University 22-7 in front of 13, 052 - the largest crowd in Meade Stadium history. The Rams went on to capture the Yankee Conference Championship, and with it its automatic bid to the NCAA I-AA Playoffs. Behind record-setting quarterback Tom Ehrhardt, the Rams were sixth in the nation in passing, averaging 306.5 yards per game through the air. The defensive unit was strong as well, allowing just 16.1 points per game - third best in the ECAC.

Rhode Island outlasted Maine 58-55 in a then-NCAA record six overtimes in 1983. The game was honored with a special exhibit in the College Hall of Fame.

The 2009 season marks the 25th anniversery of the 1984 team, which advanced to the NCAA Playoffs The Rams drew a first-round bye and opened the playoffs with a 23-17 win over Richmond in the quarterfinals the following week. URI advanced to face Montana State out of the Big Sky conference, and the eventual national champions downed the Rams 32-20 on a frozen field in Bozeman, Mont. Despite the loss, the team finished second in the final NCAA Poll - the highest national ranking in school history. Coach Bob Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team won the Lambert-Meadowlands Cup, which is emblematic of the top team in the East, as well as ECAC Team of the Year honors. Additionally, Griffin was named Yankee Conference Coach of the Year, Kodak Region I Coach of the Year, New England Coach of the Year, and Words Unlimited Coach of the Year. Yankee Conference Player of the Year Tom Ehrhardt and tight end Brian Forster, meanwhile, earned All-America honors. The duo, along with OG Greg Sturgis, WR Dameon Reilly, DE Charlie Bounty and DB Tony Hill, also earned All-New England honors while Forster, Reilly, Sturgis, Bounty, Hill, LB Mark Brockwell, WR Tony DiMaggio, OT Rich Capolongo, RB Rich Kelley, DL Bob Dana, and DB Bernie Moran earned All-Yankee Conference honors. Like the 1984 Rams, the 1985 team posted a 10-3 record, including a perfect 5-0 mark in Yankee Conference play, which earned them the school's first undefeated and untied conference title since joining the league 39 years ago. Once again, the Rams were earned ECAC Team of the Year honors and the Lambert-Meadowlands Cup after leading the country in passing. After a 35-27 win over Akron in the first round of the playoffs in Kingston, the Rams traveled to Greenville, S.C. to face Furman, where the eventual national runnerup Paladins dealt URI a 59-15 defeat. Despite the loss, the Rams won a record eight games during the course of the season, and the campaign marked the fourth-straight plus-.500 season. Once could argue that the new computerized scoreboard installed prior to the 1986 season was a results of the gaudy numbers the Rams recorded during the previous two seasons. Unfortunately, the Rams were unable to build off their 10-win seasons and failed to post another .500-plus season until 1991 (6-5). During that stretch, the conference added Richmond and Delaware (1988), and a year later invited Villanova to join the league. That season, the Rams and Wildcats traveled to Milan, Italy for a regular-season contest which was also the first football game for United States collegiate teams on Italian soil. Griffin's final season as head coach came in 1992, and Floyd Keith arrived in Kingston in 1993 to help lead the Rams back to prominence. The league's first African-American coach, Keith struggled in his first two seasons at URI, going 4-7 in 1993 and 2-9 in 1994, but guided the 1995 team to a 7-4 record and a first-place finish in the Yankee Conference's New England Division. The Yankee Conference officially became the Atlantic 10 Conference in 1997, but the results stayed the same for the Rams as they posted a combined mark of 3-13 in their first two seasons in the A-10. Keith, meanwhile, posted a 23-53 mark in seven seasons, and was replaced by Tim Stowers in 2000. The program itself also underwent a renovation in 2000, as the field house, west grandstand, and old press box were demolished to make room for the Ryan Center, which reduced seating to 5,180. For the next two seasons, the Rams used a tent in front of the Tootell Center as a locker room. The arrangements didn't seem to bother Stowers, as he guided the Rams to an 8-3 mark in just his second season, including wins over nationally-ranked Delaware and Hofstra to open the season. The Rams dropped three of their final four games down the stretch to fall out of the playoff race, and over the next six seasons, the Rams never finished with more than three wins.

HISTORY

HISTORY The Ryan Center opened following the 2002 season and featured a state-of-the-art locker room, modern athletic training room, and a coaches' locker room, giving the Rams some of the finest facilities in the conference. A fundraising drive was started shortly thereafter to increase the season capacity in Meade Stadium, and in 2006, over 2,300 new bleachers and chairback seats were opened on the west side of the stadium. In 2007, the Colonial Athletic Association officially absorbed all of the Atlantic 10 football teams and created a 12-team league of its own. The league consists of two six-team league: the North, which features Hofstra, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Northeastern, and Delaware; and the South, which features Delaware, James Madison, Richmond, Towson, Villanova, and William & Mary. In its first season, the league sent a record five teams to the FCS playoffs, and two of them - Richmond and Delaware - advanced to the national semifinals. Additionally, four players - Joe Flacco (Delaware), Tim Hightower and Arman Shields (Richmond), and Matt Sherry (Villanova) - were selected in the NFL Draft. URI Legend - Pat Abbruzzi It has been said that persistence pays off. For Rhode Island football coach Hal Kopp, it sure did. If it was not for his determination in recruiting local high school star Pasquale “Pat” Abbruzzi to spend his Saturday afternoons on the grass of Meade Stadium, Abbruzzi might have set a number of rushing records at Notre Dame or Boston College. A life-long native of Warren, R.I., Abbruzzi was a three-sport star athlete in football, basketball and baseball at Warren High. Kopp had his eye on the All-State player and convinced the local product to stay in Rhode Island even though the Fighting Irish and Eagles had a heavy interest in him. Kopp knew Abbruzzi had the potential to be good back, one to build his offense around and he didn’t want this prized recruit to slip away. His hard-nosed pile-driving style of running, reminiscent of John Riggins and Earl Campbell, was tailor-made for Kopp’s style of ball-control offense. “He was the reason why I went to the University of Rhode Island,” said Abbruzzi. The 5-foot-9, 206-pound Abbruzzi was a hard-nosed, rock solid player who had the physical stature to take the constant pounding that he would take on a weekly basis. In his four years at URI, the Rams had a 22-10 (.710) record and earned shares of the Yankee Conference title twice. In his freshman season, Abbruzzi recorded

the longest run from scrimmage with a 99-yard touchdown run in the third game of the season against New Hampshire. The mark still stands today. In the Rams’ 27-7 win at New Hampshire on October 4, 1952, Abbruzzi was the story as he bulldozed his way for three touchdowns and set a singlegame record of 306 rushing yards, a record that has never been equaled. He finished the season with eight touchdowns, rushing for 1,189 yards (then a school record). He started his third year in the Rams’ backfield with two touchdowns versus Northeastern in the season-opener. By the time the 1953 campaign ended, he had rambled for 959 yards on 170 carries (5.6 yards per carry) and scored a touchdown in each of the Rams’ eight games that year. In his senior year, a nagging ankle injury suffered in the season opener at Northeastern slowed him all season. But in his final game of his Ram career, Abbruzzi ran for 221 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-0 win over Connecticut. A fitting ending to a remarkable career. Abbruzzi left a lasting impression on the Ram record books. He is URI’s all-time ground gainer with 3,389 yards on 562 carries, is the leader in career touchdowns (25) and is fourth in career points (150). At Rhode Island, he established himself as the greatest back in team history and one of the best ever from the state. The Rams’ Little All-American in 1953 and ’54, Abbruzzi holds a dozen New England, Yankee Conference and Rhode Island rushing records. Many of the URI records that he broke were held by his brother, “Duke,” who played on the Rams from 1937-41. Abbruzzi is the only player in the history of the Yankee Conference to be selected to the All-Conference team. He was selected the Rhode Island Athlete of the Year in 1953 and Rhode Island Italian-American Athlete of the Year in 1953 and 1954. In addition, he was also chosen as an All-New England selection twice. After his illustrious career at URI, Abbruzzi opted to take his talents north of the border to Montreal, Canada. Despite being drafted by the Baltimore Colts in the third round in 1953, he decided on Canada because of a conflict regarding a bonus. Abbruzzi chose to play for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. He played four seasons in Montreal and became one of the greatest all-time players in Canadian Football history. In his first year, he recorded eight 100-yard games and subsequently was named the Canadian Football League’s Player-of-the-Year in 1955. A member of the Alouettes’ Hall-of-Fame, Abbruzzi holds a number of team records and was named to the league’s All-Pro team each season. He played for the Alouettes from in 1955-58, and holds the team record for rushing touchdowns in a game with four (at Toronto, Oct. 22, 1955) and is second on the all-time list in rushing with 3,749 yards, carries (700), 100-yard games (11) and touchdowns (45). In his first two seasons, Abbruzzi set the team record for touchdowns in a season with 19 in his first year and then broke his own record with 20 the following season. He shares the record for points in a game with 24 versus the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on September 22, 1956. In his first season, he tied the team record for touchdowns in a game with four on two different occasions (versus Hamilton and Toronto) and recorded another four touchdown game the next year against the Tiger-Cats (September 22, 1956). In three of his four seasons, Abbruzzi led the Alouettes in rushing. He ran for 1,248 yards in 1956, 1,062 in 1957 and 809 in 1957. He holds the team records for rushing touchdowns in a season with 17 and for the most touchdowns in a season by a rookie. In 1972, Abbruzzi’s feats were recognized as he was inducted into the University of Rhode Island Athletic Hall of Fame and he was inducted into the Providence Gridiron Club Hall of Fame in 1976. After his playing days, Abbruzzi still stayed involved in the game he loved. He was a physical education teacher for 30 years and was a successful football coach for 26 years at his alma mater, Warren High School. He built the football program into one of the most respected programs on and off the field. His teams won a total of nine divisional and state championships, including a winning streak of 34 consecutive regular-season victories during the 1970's. He was honored as the Rhode Island School Boy Coach-of-the-Year in 1975. In addition, he is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. In his illustrious football career on the high school, collegiate and professional levels, Pat Abbruzzi left a lasting impression on the game both in the United States and Canada. Abbruzzi, who passed away on June 3, 1998 will be remembered as one of the best football players in Rhode Island gridiron history.

URI Legend - Tom Ehrhardt It has been more than two decades since Rhode Island quarterback Tom Ehrhardt and his outstanding supporting cast made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA I-AA playoffs, but if any memories are eternal, then the 1984 and 1985 Ram teams not only etched their place in the Rhode Island record books, but also in the minds of their faithful fans. Those two teams are a part of Rhode Island lore, and the atmosphere surrounding them permeated throughout the state and the region.“I remember thinking that URI was never going to lose when he (Ehrhardt) was in the game,” said Ram alumnus and assistant gymnastics coach Mike Franco.“You had a sense that he would get it done. He had an intangible quality that allowed him to put his team over the top and he and (Brian) Forster were a great tandem.” The 1984 and 1985 teams combined for a 20-6 record, won two Yankee Conference Championships, and won two NCAA playoff games - the last Ram teams to make the post-season. Ehrhardt is quick though to credit his teammates for the teams’ success. “Our offensive line was strong, we had a solid defense and great receivers,” said Ehrhardt, who holds every Ram passing record after spending just two years at Rhode Island. Ehrhardt and his golden arm transferred to Kingston from then Division II C.W. Post because he liked coach Bob Griffin’s pass oriented offensive style. But in his first start for the Rams in 1984, he was far from great, completing just seven of 14 passes for 71 yards and suffered two interceptions in a 31-21 win over Howard - a game he left injured in the third quarter. Following a win over Lafayette in his second game and a loss to Holy Cross in week three, Ehrhardt began to click. He passed for 272 yards and two touchdowns as the Rams blasted Maine 27-0. A week later, he showed his prowess, throwing for 410 yards and five touchdowns in a 34-13 rout of state rival Brown. The Rams rolled through their schedule unscathed for the next four weeks as Ehrhardt had passing performances of 408 yards against Massachusetts and 425 versus Northeastern. With an 8-1 record and a perfect Yankee Conference mark, the Rams traveled to Durham, New Hampshire and dropped a 14-12 decision to the Wildcats. In the final week of the regular season, Ehrhardt tossed three touchdown passes to Dameon Reilly and one to Bob Donfield in a 29-19 win over Connecticut giving the Rams the league title. After an opening round playoff bye, Rhode Island hosted Richmond at Meade Stadium. Ehrhardt, who along with Griffin were inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996, rose to the occasion.The Rhode Island signal-caller

Like Ehrhardt’s first game in Keaney blue, the last game of the 1984 season is one he wishes he could forget. With the Rams leading 20-18, Ehrhardt forced a pass that was intercepted on the Montana State three-yard line and returned 97 yards for a touchdown. Rhode Island did not recover, fumbling the ensuing kickoff to set up another Bobcat score. The Rams lost 32-20.“I still have the tape of that game,” said Ehrhardt.“You look at it and say ‘Why did you throw it?’ That interception probably cost us the national championship.” If the end of the 1984 season was disappointing, 1985 started off even worse for Ehrhardt and the heralded Rams. Three plays into the season-opener against Delaware, Ehrhardt left with an injured hip pointer and the Rams fell to the Blue Hens 29-13. Rhode Island also lost All-America defensive back Tony Hill for the season on the fourth defensive play of the game when he fractured his arm. With Ehrhardt out of action against Howard in the next game, backup quarterback Greg Farland stepped in and threw two touchdown passes and the defense stepped up its play in a 46-0 drubbing of the Bison. The return of Ehrhardt in week three saw him throw for 357 yards in a 34-14 win over Maine, but the following week, Brown would avenge their 1984 loss with a 32-27 win over Rhode Island despite 461 yards passing by Ehrhardt. Forster tied his own record of 18 catches for another record 327 yards in the loss. As they did in 1984, the Rams went on a tear, winning their next seven games to finish the regular season at 9-2. Ehrhardt connected for 520 yards passing in a 45-38 win over Lehigh. It was November 16, 1985 when the Rams hosted the Huskies with an undefeated Yankee Conference season hanging in the balance, and after Ehrhardt hit for two first quarter TD passes and a 14-0 lead, it looked like Rhode Island was in control. Connecticut responded with five straight touchdowns and a 35-14 lead. At the half, the Rams trailed 42-28. The URI defense responded in the second half by shutting down the Husky attack while Ehrhardt continued to work his magic as he tossed four more touchdown passes after the break and the Rams rolled to a 56-42 win and the conference’s automatic berth to the NCAA playoffs. Ehrhardt’s 566 yards passing set a new school standard as were his eight touchdown passes and his .667 passing percentage. Forster, who was named to the Yankee Conference all-time team, caught 16 passes for 205 yards and

HISTORY

HISTORY Reilly hauled in nine passes for 204 yards in the game. “That was a memorable game,” said a modest Ehrhardt, “because we fell behind by 21 points and came back and won to have an undefeated conference season.” Rhode Island opened the playoffs with a 35-27 win over Akron in Kingston and Ehrhardt was sizzling as he completed a school record 43 passes. In round two, the Rhode Island signal-caller was picked off six times in a 59-15 loss to Furman. He completed 39 of a record 78 attempts, but the interceptions, of which one was returned for a touchdown, led to the end of the season and Ehrhardt’s impressive career. “It was great experience,” Ehrhardt, the only Rhode Island football player ever to have their uniform number (12) retired, said later.“As you get older and you work and have a family, you look back and appreciate it. That was really neat and I was lucky to experience it and we were fortunate to have a great team.” A great team led by a great player which left great memories and set a few records along the way. URI Legend - Frank Keaney When most people think of Frank Keaney, they remember racehorse basketball, fast-breaking offenses and the Rams piling up victory after victory on the hardwood. But Keaney spent 21 years (1920-40) as Rhode Island’s head football coach, as well. He is the school’s second winningest coach registering 70 victories during his tenure. Inheriting a team that had posted a 0-7-1 record in 1919, he sought to rebuild the Rams, a process that would take three years. From 1929-36, Rhode Island posted winning records in seven of eight seasons, going 37-26-4 (.582) over that span. His biggest win on the gridiron came on Oct. 5, 1935 when the Rams battled powerful Brown. The Rams had lost to the Bears 23 straight times and were shutout in the first 13 games between the two teams. Such was the Rams’ record entering the contest against their intrastate rival. As coach Frank Keaney led his charges onto the Brown Stadium gridiron in from of 15,000 fans, a chorus of whistles and catcalls greeted their new Keaney Blue uniforms and white Kangaroo leather shoes, probably the first football team ever to be so attired. As usual, Brown was favored against the Rams. The Rams had lost their first two games of the season without even scoring a point. Rhode Island lost the season-opener, 32-0, at Holy Cross before falling, 7-0, at Maine a week later. The game was the season-opener for Brown.

Brown had 80 players in uniform while the Rams dressed just 13. Despite their decided underdog status, Keaney had his team prepared for coach D.O. McLaughry’s Brown squad.The game was a thriller that is still talked about today as one of the greatest games ever between the two state teams. Rhode Island marched 94 yards for a score in the first quarter and hit pay dirt on a nifty gallop by Bob Mudge to put the Rams ahead, 13-0, at halftime. Brown rallied and scored on a 65-yard lateral play in the third quarter to cut the lead to 13-7. But the stubborn Ram defense was never again threatened and a late interception by Justin McCarthy assured a victory for the Rams. Pandemonium broke loose when the game ended. Keaney was carried the length of the field by his ecstatic players and the Rhode Island faithful. The victory celebration over the Ivy League power lasted several days with a dance celebration at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet, a campus rally on the Quad and a full Monday holiday for the entire college courtesy of college president, Carl Woodward. A portly, wide-faced Irishman, Keaney belonged to the old fashioned school of coaching that stressed character over technique.“My psychology of it is that you’ve got to feel victory if you’re going to win,” he declared. To his players, he was fond of emphasizing the difference between Will to Win and Love to Lose. “As far as techniques of the game, he was probably the worst coach I ever had,” admitted one player.“But as far as being able to psyche teams up and get them ready for games, he was super. He had a great way with all his players, from the substitute to the star.” To compensate for football teams that lacked size and number, Keaney stressed conditioning above all else, seeking both to outlast opponents and to minimize injuries. His players were expected to play every minute of every game. Impatient with the conservative style of play then in fashion, he searched for ways to open up the game. In football he was one of the first to employ the double wing formation, running it with double and triple backfield lateral plays that flabbergasted coaches who shrank from any thrown ball as if it were a live grenade. His baseball teams ran opponents dizzy. The fast break was but the logical extension of this impulse to basketball. That Keaney cared more for the opinion of the fans than of his peers was made evident when he advised his fellow coaches at a New York luncheon, “Give the crowds action. If some coach puts up a screwy defense, use a screwier offense. Then if you lose, pivot and go home.”To critics of his style he said simply, “We don’t say we’re right, but you’ve got to stop us.” During his long coaching and teaching tenure at Rhode Island - spanning more than four decades from the 1920s to the late 1940s - Keaney was constantly experimenting with new ideas both as a coach and as a chemist, as well as a foot hardener suitable, a potent-smelling lineament for aches and pains and distinctive school color “Keaney Blue,” also known as “Rhody Blue.” Before Keaney concocted his special shade of powdery blue, Rhode Island’s colors had been white and royal blue. But Keaney, after spending considerable time mixing a variety of blue and white paints together in his on-campus laboratory, came up with his special shade of blue - a light, soft tint all but the same color as the University of North Carolina’s. Later, after Keaney Gym was finished in 1953, Keaney set up a small lab in a third floor room - now the football player’s lounge - in the southwestern corner of the building where he refined the color to match his exacting specifications. But Keaney had something more; a restless imagination and a flair for showmanship. The fast break in basketball was not the only product of his maverick genius; there was a touch of originality in everything he did. A native of Boston, Keaney graduated from Bates in 1911. He played professional baseball and coached high school before coming to Rhode Island in 1920 as athletic director, coach of all sports and chemistry instructor. Later he even produced a light blue dye, known as “Keaney blue,” a color his teams wore in place of the school’s official color, royal blue. In 28 years as Rhode Island’s legendary basketball coach, Keaney compiled an impressive 401-124 record, but the numbers scarcely measure his achievement. He turned a game of patterned plodding into forty minutes of frenzied excitement while overflow crowds, delighted at the spectacle of racehorse basketball, howled their approval. In an era when most teams did well to score 40 or 50 points a game, Rhode Island averaged nearly 80 and routinely led the nation in scoring. Keaney retired from active coaching in 1948 and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1960, the Hall of Fame’s second year. Frank William Keaney passed away on Oct. 10, 1967 at the age of 81.

Frank Keaney coached the Rams for 21 seasons and helped the squad to three six-win seasons. W W W. G O R H O D Y. C O M

URI Legend - Hal Kopp In May, 1998, Hal Kopp, the winningest football coach in Rhode Island annals, passed away at the age of 89. Never far from the gridiron, he served as an honorary assistant coach and helped broadcast Rhode Island football games on radio well into his 80s and was a regular at Ram football games until 1997. Growing up at Perry Point, Md., Kopp was exposed to the world of athletics at an early age. Perry Point was a government reservation hospital complex, and at the end of World War I, the reservation employed Kopp’s father and kept young Hal busy in the recreation program. He learned to play baseball, mostly because he was the only one who would agree to crouch down behind the plate and catch the patients who were pitching. Many of the patients were shell-shocked from the war, others had lung damage from mustard gas attacks, and others were unbalanced for one reason or another. But every afternoon during the summer, the instructors would be out on the field working with the patients. And soon Kopp became a regular in their games. In high school, he also took up basketball, soccer and football, and it wasn’t long before people started noticing the talented halfback’s gift for the gridiron game. By his senior year, he decided he would attend Western Maryland and play his college ball for coach Dick Harlow. A rugged 200-pound running back, Kopp gained more yards against archrival Maryland in his sophomore season than the entire Terrapin backfield. In his senior season, he was selected to play in the very first North-South game, held in Baltimore Stadium. Aligned with players from Mississippi, Alabama and throughout the deep South, Kopp and his teammates practiced for one week before the big game. The day of the game, it snowed six inches. For many of his teammates it was the first time they had seen snow. A good spring on the baseball diamond helped him garner a brief stint with the Washington Senators after college, but after bouncing around the baseball ranks, he stumbled upon a coaching opportunity with a former Harlow assistant, Jimmy Dunn at Northeastern, and decided to take it. He had married his college sweetheart, June, and the couple had one son, Karl. His career in coaching was just beginning to take hold when Pearl Harbor was bombed, plunging the United States into World War II. Kopp was called up as a first lieutenant and saw combat during the allied invasion of North Africa. But his coaching career was not on hold for the duration. Due to a stateside assignment, he was able to return home to serve as assistant coach at Brown and later at Connecticut, while head of the ROTC program. After the war ended,

Kopp was discharged from the Army and joined Harlow as a line coach at Harvard. After Harlow’s retirement from coaching, Kopp spent a spring with Connecticut, before moving on to Yale. When Connecticut began looking for a new head coach, Kopp believed his time had come. What he didn’t know was that a former teammate would beat him out for the job. But all was not lost. At the same time, Rhode Island, a small school whose football program was third in athletic importance to basketball and track, was shopping for a head coach. Kopp was offered the job at his first meeting with Vice President Dr. Harold Browning. In his book, “I’ve Seen It All,” Kopp writes about his first few months at the URI helm:“With the help of the alumni secretary, Charlie Hall, the student body and Dr. Browning, I was able to offer a few scholarships to some of the Rhode Island high school players. “I want to say that I had 21 boys and 19 sea gulls at our first spring practice. Despite my small squad, we did well the first year. In fact, we beat the University of Connecticut. It was great satisfaction to me — beating (new Connecticut head coach) Art Valpey. While I was at Rhode Island, my teams never lost to Connecticut, Massachusetts or Northeastern. We also won three out of four games with Brown.” After a 3-5 season in 1950, Kopp was called back to serve in the Korean War. Reassured his job would be secure when he returned, he reported to Fort Benning, Ga., where he became the athletic officer of the Combat Training Center and coached football and basketball. When the time came for duty assignments, Kopp was sent to Bremerhaven, Germany to begin a football program for morale purposes. When he returned to URI in 1952, he had only a week to get his players ready for the annual Brown game. His team defeated Brown for the first time in 14 years, and Kopp was on his way. The 7-1 record of his 1952 team was the best in school history. He spent five seasons at the URI helm, and compiled a 28-11-2 record, the best winning percentage in URI coaching history. He was named the Rhode Island Coach of the Year three times and the New England Coach of the Year in 1955, after piloting his team through an undefeated regular season and then to a postseason game at the Refrigerator Bowl in Evansville, Ind. In 1956, Kopp left Rhode Island to become the first non-Mormon head coach at Brigham Young. After three seasons there, the Mormon lifestyle and the Hal Kopp philosophies were blending like oil and water. He knew his contract would not be renewed and so he accepted a position at Boston University as a line coach. After coaching eight colleges, two all-star games, and two army teams, Kopp decided in 1964 to give high school coaching a try. He was just as successful in the high school ranks, putting together an undefeated season in 1965 and continuing until the 1971 season. Then, he decided to retire from coaching. But giving up an addiction cold turkey is never easy; and so when Bentley called to say they were going to start a program, the renowned coach knew he had to help. He spent the next five seasons developing Bentley into a solid Division III program. June and Hal both retired from the Massachusetts school system at the same time, moving back home to Narragansett. But he still couldn’t stay away from the game — after all, it had been his life for nearly 70 years. In 1993, he surpassed Amos Alonzo Stagg’s longevity record as the oldest active coach in college football. In his own words, Hal Kopp’s career was symbolized by “So many friends. So many victories. So much in the ‘win’ column, after all.”

In five seasons at Rhode Island Hal Kopp posted a .707 winning percentage, which is the best in URI history. W W W. G O R H O D Y. C O M

ADMINISTRATION

aDMINISTRATION DR. DAVID M. DOOLEY University of Rhode Island President

B.A., University of California, San Diego, 1974 Ph. D., California Institute of Technology, 1979

As Dr. David M. Dooley embarks on his first year as president of the University of Rhode Island, he aims to strengthen the sense of community and discovery. With a strong background in research Dooley believes every student at the University should gain experience in research and creative work, regardless of their field of study. “We have to integrate the entire undergraduate experience into the academic goals and missions of the University,” Dooley said. “We want students to feel everything they are doing at URI will help them achieve their goals.” A native of California, Dooley earned a bachelor of arts in chemistry from the University of California in San Diego and a doctorate in chemistry from California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He was selected in May from among three finalists for the University of Rhode Island position after a nationwide search that attracted 55 candidates. Dooley has more than 30 years of experience working in higher education and places high value on giving students a well-rounded university experience. “It’s a simple fact that the kinds of skills that the students are going to need for the future are the kinds of skills and experiences that are going to be hard to come by in the formal classroom. We need to prepare students for things we don’t yet know exist,” Dooley said. Dooley comes to URI from Montana State University in Bozeman, Mont., where he served as provost and vice president of academic affairs. He had nearly 16 years experience as chief academic officer and department chair. He led the chemistry and biochemistry department for six years before being named interim provost and vice president for academic affairs in June 1999, a position he was appointed to permanently in June 2001. Even after taking the post as provost and vice president of academic affairs, Dooley maintained an active laboratory at Montana State. The National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation have funded his research. Dooley also chaired the university’s planning, budget and analysis committee, which is responsible for strategic planning, assessment and for setting the university’s operating budget. He also managed the university’s international partnerships. As Chair, his responsibilities included setting the agenda, guiding the processes of budget development, planning, and priority setting, moderating discussion, and presenting the budget to the University community and the President. He also served as the principal representative for the committee to external constituencies, the media, and the public. A strong believer in shared governance, Dooley helped foster a strong culture of collaborative process at Montana State. This approach earned the University status as a major research university, ranked in the Carnegie “Very High Research” category. During Dooley’s service as Provost, he was a central figure in attracting research dollars to Montana State, as annual research expenditures there grew from $45 million in 1999 to more than $100 million in 2007 while he was there. Montana State committed itself to excellence in undergraduate education and to the success of its students. Dooley helped lead the strategic planning process that incorporated these goals and values into Montana State’s Five-Year Vision - which is assessed and updated annually - and the university’s marketing plan. Working closely with faculty, he fostered the development of a nationally-recognized, new core curriculum that includes a required first-year seminar taught in small sections, quantitative reasoning, writing, inquiry courses in the major disciplinary areas, contemporary issues in science, diversity, and an undergraduate research experience. He also developed new interdisciplinary undergraduate degrees in Liberal Studies and American Studies based in the new University College; a new undergraduate major in Paleontology, Bioengineering, and Medical Laboratory Science; and minors in Latin American and Latino Studies and Museum Studies. Focused on building student success and community, Dooley expanded Montana State’s central academic advising office and added an advisor especially for students changing majors. He provided leadership to a multi-campus effort to substantially improve transferability in the Montana University System, and he created the Academic Advising Council to develop university-wide improvements in advising and to identify and share best practices. The University also instituted convocation, particularly targeting first-year students; established learning centers for mathematics and chemistry in residence halls; and improved relationships with the Athletics Department to enhance the success of student-athletes. Like URI, Montana State is affiliated with NCAA Division I athletics, with football competing in the Football Championship Subdivision. Dooley played a role in adding new Ph.D. programs in Animal and Range Science, Neuroscience, Ecology and Environmental Science, History (first Ph.D. in the humanities at MSU), Computer Science, Earth Sciences (including Paleontology) and Molecular Biosciences (a multidisciplinary, crossdepartmental program). New Ph.D programs English (emphasizing the public humanities) and a novel collaborative Ph.D. in American Studies with European university partners were in the final This past July, Dr. David Dooley was appointed as the 11th President at the University stages of planning when he left Montana State. Montana State added M.S./M.A. degrees in Native American Studies, Neuroscience, Ecology and of Rhode Island. Environmental Science, Environmental and Ecological Statistics, Science and Natural History Filmmaking, and the Art History during Dooley’s tenure. With the senior leadership at Montana State, Dooley led the implementation of a new budget and planning process. With the Vice President for Administration and Finance, and the Vice President for Research, he had a lead role in securing the approval for the new $24 million Chemistry and Biochemistry building. Dooley represented the University to the Legislature to secure funding for the renovation of the former chemistry building into a state-of-the-art instructional facility (approximately $34 million). In the area of diversity and internationalization Dooley led the effort to upgrade the Native American Studies Program to full departmental status. He made recruitment of women and other under-representative groups into leadership and faculty positions an academic priority. Five of Montana State’s nine deans are women and one is Native American. Dooley increased Montana State’s emphasis on international partnerships, leading to new relationships with, among others, Norway, Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates, Mongolia, Japan, India, Korea, and Turkey. The relationship with Turkey led to the development of novel dual degree programs with Turkish universities. Several new institutes and divisions were established at Montana State during Dooley’s time, including the Energy Research Institute for comprehensive energy research, including carbon sequestration, clean coal technology, fuel cell technology, materials science, wind energy, solar energy, and biofuels. Montana State is the lead institution in a partnership that was recently awarded $66.9 million from the Department of Energy for Phase III research on carbon sequestration. Partners include several major research universities and national laboratories. Also developed were the Humanities Institute for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies in the humanities; the Big Sky Institute for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem; the Division of Health Sciences, to provide leadership and coordination for research and \education in health and biomedical disciplines, as well as fostering interdisciplinary research and education; and the Center for Native Health Partnerships for community based public health research and outreach on tribal reservations.

THORR BJORN University of Rhode Island Director of Athletics

B.A., Massachusetts, 1990 M.Ed., Massachusetts, 1995

In late July, 2007, Thorr Bjorn became the 11th Director of Athletics in University of Rhode Island history. Since that day, he has worked tirelessly to instill a new championship culture in Kingston. “We want to be champions in the three most important areas: in competition, in the classroom, and in the community,” Bjorn said. “Our athletics department is wholly committed to making the necessary changes in order to achieve a true winning attitude.” In competition, Rhode Island’s 2007-08 athletics programs made great strides toward Bjorn’s championship culture. The men’s track & field program captured its second consecutive - and seventh in the last eight years - Atlantic 10 outdoor championship team title. The rowing program won its first-ever A-10 championship, ending Massachusetts’ 12-year run. In facilities, Rhode Island has raised almost $2 million over the past 20 months for the Student Athlete Development center. The most pressing area of this new and renovated space will be for the construction of a 8,000 square foot weight room and state of the art equipment that will be housed in the facility for the use of URI student-athletes. "Athletic facility upgrades are one of the most important initiatives we have taking place at the University of Rhode Island athletic department," Bjorn said. "Although though we have some wonderful facilities, we always need to be moving forward in this area so that we can provide our coaches with all the advantages possible both in terms of recruiting and competition”. In the classroom, 204 Rhode Island student-athletes earned a 3.30 grade-point average or better and were named to the Dean’s List. An additional 157 Rhody student-athletes earned a spot on the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the 2007 Fall semester. Damian Gresko earned his second consecutive CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American honor, posting a 3.98 grade-point average as a double major in finance and accounting. “It is a true point of pride to have over 200 University of Rhode Island student-athletes earn a spot on the Dean’s List,” said Bjorn. “To have so many of our student-athletes performing on and off the field of competition is a tribute to the hard work of so many involved with Rhode Island Athletics.” Many of the Rams’ athletic programs and student-athletes have made an impact in the community. Several teams participated in a National Reading Week promotion this past April, traveling to local elementary schools to read and interact with the students. Additionally, URI athletics sponsored its second annual “Pink Out” during a nationally televised men’s basketball game, which raised close to $10,000 for a local breast cancer awareness charity. Bjorn’s championship attitude is rooted in a philosophy in which everyone in the URI athletics department is a fundraiser and marketer. “We need to be tireless in our efforts to bring in external dollars - not just to sustain, but rather to grow all of our programs,” Bjorn explained. “As we go out into the community, we have the opportunity to `sell’ URI and our mission to our current and future donors, sponsors and ticket buyers. We have to continue to move forward and become increasingly creative in how we accomplish our goals.” In just his first 10 months, Bjorn has overseen donations of close to 1.5 million dollars toward the Student-Athlete Development Center (SADC). Included in that total is a 1 million dollar gift to the baseball program - URI’s first-ever seven-digit donation to the athletics department. “To reach that dollar amount in such a short period of time shows the tremendous passion for URI Bjorn with Rhode Island football head coach Joe Trainer at his introductory press athletics by our alumni and friends,” he added. “We expect that this is just the beginning, as we work to conference. raise $3.5 million for the SADC and another $1.5 million for other important athletic facility upgrades under the umbrella of the University’s `Making a Difference’ capital campaign.” A member of the Atlantic 10 television committee, Bjorn is working to improve the local, regional, and national coverage for URI and league teams. Bjorn came to Kingston after spending 15 years at his alma mater - the University of Massachusetts - in a variety of athletic administrative roles. At the time of his hire, Bjorn had entered his fourth year as the senior associate athletic director at UMass, serving as the day-to-day sport supervisor for football and ice hockey, while also overseeing the men’s and women’s lacrosse programs. He directly supervised the UMass athletic marketing staff, corporate sales - including the UMass Radio Network, coaches shows and signage - and ticket operations. Bjorn also served as liaison between the athletic department and Global Spectrum - the management company for the William D. Mullins Center, home of UMass basketball and hockey. Bjorn played an integral role in UMass’ department-wide apparel deal with adidas, oversaw all aspects of the funding and installation of a multi-million dollar video scoreboard system in the Mullins Center, and helped to secure funding sources for a new artificial surface at Alumni Stadium - home of the nationallyranked Minutemen football program. From Sept. 2003-Feb. 2004, Bjorn was the interim athletic director at UMass. In that role, he oversaw all the department, including supervising a senior administrative staff of 10 associate and assistant athletic directors, as well as the head football, men’s basketball, and men’s ice hockey. During his tenure, he negotiated a contract extension with Don “Toot” Cahoon, head men’s ice hockey coach, and was the athletic department liaison in a viability study on elevating to Division I-A (now “BCS”) football status. After a three-year stint as the director of regional sales and marketing for Resorts Sports Network in Portland, Maine, Bjorn returned to UMass in April of 2003 as the Associate AD/External Affairs. At RSN - a company which provides cable systems with programming at ski resorts - he was personally accountable for $1 million in television and web advertising revenue. In his role as Associate AD, Bjorn was responsible for soliciting all radio and television advertising and corporate sponsorship dollars for the athletic department, Mullins Center, and UMass Magazine - a total exceeding $1 million dollars. Under his watch, annual sponsorship revenue increased by over 135 percent. After graduating from UMass and spending six months as an intern in the business office at the University of Connecticut, he returned to his alma mater as assistant athletic director for tickets and game operations in December of 1990, a position he held until being promoted in 1996. A three-year letterwinner for the Minutemen football program, he earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management from UMass in 1990, following with a master’s degree in higher education from his alma mater in 1995. He met his wife Cyndy at UMass, and the couple has three daughters, twins Stephanie and Robyn, 11 and Rachael, 8. The Bjorn family resides in North Kingstown. Thorr Bjorn is a visable figure at all Rhode Island Football games.
