NOTING THE SKYHAWKS SIMPSON WELCOMES FOUR NEW MEMBERS TO COACHING STAFF Fifth-year head coach Jason Simpson welcomes four new members to his coaching staff. The newcomers include Jordon Hankins, a UT Martin alumnus who will coach running backs and serve as the strength and conditioning coach; Nathan Burton, a former Georgia Tech safety who worked under the guidance of defensive masterminds Bill Young at Oklahoma State and Jon Tenuta at Georgia Tech, will coach linebackers; Ryan Nielsen, who served as the defensive line coach at Ole Miss under Ed Orgeron and played at the University of Southern Cal, will coach the defensive line and serve as the special teams coordinator; and Mac Bryan, who has 19 years of collegiate coaching experience at Chattanooga, Pikeville, Newberry, Lees McRae, and Southern Miss, will coach the offensive line and serve as the Skyhawks offensive coordinator. ELDER STATESMAN First year head coach Mac Bryan, 50, is the oldest member of the Skyhawk coaching staff. Bryan comes to UT Martin from Enka High School in North Carolina where he served as head coach and led the Jets to their best season since 2002. Bryan also coached at Chattanooga and at Southern Miss in his 19 years as a collegiate coach. While at Chattanooga, Bryan coached former UT Martin assistant Geep Wade. While at Southern Miss, Bryan coached UT Martin head coach Jason Simpson. Bryan served as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Appalachian State. He played offensive tackle for head coaches Jim Brakefield and Mike Working from 1978-80. FORMER OL GIBBS SIGNS WITH NFL'S RAMS Offensive lineman Joe Gibbs, a three-time AllAmerican and two-time All-Ohio Valley Conference honoree, signed a free agent contract with the National Football League's St. Louis Rams in June. Gibbs started 11 games at right tackle for the Skyhawks in 2009 and did not allow a sack all season. He played a key role in UT Martin's offensive success in 2009, as the Skyhawks were third in the Ohio Valley Conference in rushing offense, second in total offense, second in scoring and first in passing offense.

UT Martin (2009)

(2nd Season)

Fresh off a stellar four-year career as a UT Martin offensive lineman, Kevin Bannon begins his second season as a graduate assistant coach for the Skyhawks this fall. A two-time all-conference selection, Bannon appeared in 45 games over his four-year career, starting in 39, and was a key cog on an offense that produced one Ohio Valley Conference championship and was consistently atop the OVC statistical categories. Bannon also had an impact on the UT Martin record books, as he blocked for all-time UT Martin leading rusher Don Chapman for three seasons. Chapman became just the 14th Division I player to rush for 1,000 yards in four straight seasons. In 2008, Bannon graded out at 80 percent and only allowed one sack, earning All-OVC first team honors after being named to the AllOVC preseason team. Bannon served as team captain that season for a team that went 8-4 and finished one last second blocked field goal attempt shy of its second OVC crown in three years. Bannon helped block for an offensive unit that ranked first in the OVC in 2008 in scoring offense, touchdowns, and total offense. Bannon also directly assisted the Skyhawks in ranking fourth in the nation in scoring offense (37.33 points per game). Bannon started all 11 games during his junior campaign in 2007, earning All-OVC second team accolades. The Skyhawks led the OVC in scoring and total offense, and scored 40+ points in four games. The Skyhawks' first-ever OVC championship came in 2006, a year where Bannon started 10 games. Behind Bannon, UT Martin led the league in rushing offense, and was nationally-ranked for the first time in program history. As a true freshman in 2005, Bannon emerged strong to start in six of the last seven games - all against conference opponents. Bannon blocked for quarterback Brady Wahlberg, who holds several UT Martin all-time career records, including total offense (7,387 yards). Before UT Martin, Bannon was a two-sport athlete at Wentzville High School in Wentzville, Mo., competing in football and wrestling. Bannon earned all-district honors as a junior, and all-state and allmetro accolades as a senior, and was a three-year All-Gateway Athletic Conference team selection. Bannon also got it done in the classroom, appearing on the honor roll all four years at WHS. Bannon, who is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, is the son of Gary and Linda Bannon and has one younger brother, Sean.

Four-year Skyhawk defensive stalwart Ray Williams will serve as a defensive graduate assistant coach. The Demopolis, Ala. native put together an impressive four-year career at UT Martin from 2005-08, as he appeared in all 46 games, starting in 23 of those. Williams totaled 137 tackles (60 solo), including 16 tackles-for-loss for 81 yards, 9.5 sacks for 63 yards, eight quarterback hurries, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble from the defensive tackle position. A preseason All-OVC selection in 2008, Williams backed it up with a first team All-OVC mention. In that season, Williams doubled his career totals in tackles for loss (eight to 16) and sacks (4.5 to 9.5), while making 56 total stops (23 solo) to lead the Skyhawks to an 8-4 season and one game shy of an OVC championship. Williams spearheaded a Skyhawk defense that led the OVC in sacks with 252, which was 34 more than the second place team had. The UT Martin defense also ranked in the top-10 nationally in fumbles recovered (sixth; 16) and tackles for loss per game (seventh; 8.0). In 2007, Williams started in all 11 contests and was honored with a second team All-OVC mention. Serving as team captain, Williams was second on the team with six quarterback hurries, despite playing most of the season with a broken hand. Williams was an integral part of the Skyhawks' 2006 OVC championship squad, the first time a UT Martin team had won the OVC title. Williams and the Skyhawk defense ranked first in the OVC in scoring defense, passing defense, rushing defense and total defense en route to a historic season which included UT Martin's first-ever national ranking. Williams' freshman season in 2005 also was a memorable one, as Williams played in all 11 games to help the Skyhawks lead the conference in total defense, least opponent first downs and least opponent third down conversion percentage. A two-sport athlete at Demopolis High School, Williams played defensive tackle, left guard and nose guard for the Tigers, earning a spot on the all-state team in 2004. Williams also adds a 4A state football championship, and a 2004 track and field shot put state championship accomplishment to his personal resume.

UT MARTIN FOOTBALL TEAM ‘ALL IN’ FOR 2010 SEASON

MARTIN, Tenn. – As head football coach Jason Simpson enters his fifth season at The University of Tennessee at Martin he continues to think about the 2009 season where his Skyhawks finished a disappointing 5-6 overall and 4-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference standings. “We had to ask players to do some things that possibly they were not able to do,” Simpson said. During spring practice, Simpson learned about Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney’s backstory. Swinney was named interim head coach of the Tigers after Tommy Bowden was dismissed following a loss to Wake Forest. In Swinney’s first week, he regrouped his team and the Clemson Nation, re-organized his staff and prepared for perennial power Georgia Tech. The most impressive and visible demonstration of unity came during the team’s “Tiger Walk.” Swinney decided to have his team depart buses near Memorial Stadium and experience the gameday atmosphere. Dressed in jackets and ties, the team was embraced by thousands of Clemson fans for the march to the stadium. Simpson was in awe of the Tiger Walk, but it was two little words – All In -- that stuck in the Skyhawk head coach’s head. Before that first practice for Georgia Tech, Swinney gathered his squad and immediately said, “I am all in, all the time. Who’s with me?” Thus the All In theme was born. For Swinney, All In is now the name of a foundation he and his family have started to help others achieve their dreams. “Kathleen (Swinney) and my three sons and I have been very blessed. One thing we have learned is that you make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give,” Dabo Swinney said during the announcement of his foundation. Simpson and his Skyhawks have pledged to each other that they are “All In.” They must continue to escalate the football program in 2010 and build it for the long haul and not rest on its 2006 OVC championship. “When I accepted this job I said we were going to play for OVC championships and national titles,” Simpson said. “We have had some success, but that doesn’t mean we are satisfied. I do not want this program to become a one-hit wonder while I am the head coach.” They say that history repeats itself, and if that’s the case, 2010 could be a banner year for the Skyhawks who have been picked sixth in the preseason OVC poll as voted on by head coaches and sports information directors. The Skyhawks have excelled in even calendar years, winning the league in 2006 with a 9-3 overall record and a 6-1 OVC worksheet. In 2008, the Skyhawks battled for a second OVC crown, only to see their chances fall to the wayside on a blocked field goal against Eastern Kentucky. The Skyhawks finished with an 8-4 overall record and were 6-2 in the OVC. As the 2010 season opener against Tennessee approaches, Simpson is adamant, “I am All In. We must focus on the task at hand each and every day.”

The following is a quick position-by position glance at the 2010 Skyhawks.

“The defense will have to set the tempo for us this season,” Simpson said. “We have to put those guys in a situation where they can go out and get a stop and win the game,” Simpson said. “We know how to coach and play with this strategy. It is not about yards or stats, it is about winning the game.”

Coached by Ryan Nielsen

Josh Cody, Justin Darden and Tim Cox are the three players with the most experience. “They have the most consistency, more athletic ability than before and all three have great motors,” Simpson said. The defensive tackles include Ray Teamer, Darrin Nalls, Karlos Jones, Anthony Kelly and DJ Roberts. “These five guys are athletic and can hold the gap and rush the passer,” Simpson said. “Nobody is an all-conference guy, but there is some depth in there that we have not had here before.”

Coached by Nathan Burton Senior Josh Bey, the 2010 Preseason Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year, will move from the middle linebacker position to the weak-side linebacker. Jonathan Utley will now play middle linebacker and Jett Howard will get the starting assignment at the strong-side linebacker. “We did this to get the three best players, the most athletic, on the field.” Simpson said. “To do this we had to move Bey.” Bey is adapting to the new position. “He (Bey) can make 100 tackles from whatever position,” Simpson said. The Skyhawks have depth behind the three projected starting linebackers. Nathan Rottero, Sione Fale’ofa, Aaron Carney and junior college transfer DuJuan Brown. “There is not a lot of depth, but there are six guys who can play all three positions,” Simpson said.

Coached by Brandon Cooper

This is the position Simpson and his staff had to address this past spring during recruiting season. “We were not happy with our pass defense last year,” Simpson said. “We definitely improved it in the spring and then we improved it even more this summer with the addition of Marshall transfer T.J. Drakeford.” Thad Williams, a junior college transfer from Hutchinson Community College, will play the other cornerback position. “Drakeford and Williams are true corners. They are not safeties who were converted to corners. Both guys can run and they are physical,” Simpson said. “We have upgraded here.”

Coached by Chris Boone Kendal Harper, from nearby Trenton, will be one of the safeties this season. “We think Kendal can be a top safety in the OVC,” Simpson said. “There will be a battle at the other safety position.” Among the two guys vying for the spot are Joe Dunavant and fifth-year senior Gerald Guffin. “We still have experience with either Dunavant or Guffin,” the coach said.

“We do have some firepower on offense but most people are not going to know who they are except for Jason McNair (redshirt sophomore, tailback),” Simpson said.

Coached by Mac Bryan The most consistent offensive lineman is Taz Tillery, one of two returning starters. The other is left tackle Rodney Irvin. “We have to find three more,” Simpson said. Jeremy Buchanan will make the transition from tight end to right tackle. “Buck (Buchanan) looks the part, but this is something new for him.” Simpson said. Vanderbilt transfer Michael Bryant and Wilson Emebunor will see action at the tackle positions. The Skyhawks will rely on some younger players at the center and guard positions. Redshirt freshman Tyler Eady and Darrin Fizer will see action at center, while Michael Mancini and Ladarrius Stallings are penciled in at the guard positions.

Coached by Jordon Hankins

Jason McNair will be the featured running back in the Skyhawk offense. The Mount Olive, Miss. native and the nephew of the late Steve McNair rushed for 292 yards and four touchdowns in limited playing time in 2009. The Skyhawks signed James Langford, a junior college transfer, to challenge McNair and give the team some depth. Sophomore Tevin Barksdale will also see playing time. The sophomore from Bowling Green, Ky., saw limited playing time as a true freshman, but was impressive. The Skyhawks will use Kenny Jones and Jarvis Perry at fullback this season. Jones played both fullback and tight end last year and will do the same. Perry, from Crockett County, will provide the Skyhawks with some depth.

Coached by Kane Wommack Simpson said his starting quarterback will be junior Derek Carr from McKenzie. Carr played in seven games this past season. He completed 10-of-21 passes for 127 yards. The other guys fighting for the backup spot are Bill Hardegree and Julius McNair, who moves from defensive back.

Coached by Gerad Parker

The Skyhawks have more depth at the wide out position than ever before, but they have less experience. Senior Bryant Milligan and Stephen Shiver will emerge as the starters. Milligan had 18 catches for 222 yards and a touchdown. He played in nine games. Shiver played in all 11 games and was second on the team in receiving in 2009 with 33 catches for 479 yards and three touchdowns. Behind Milligan and Shiver are “physical” receivers Chris Thompson, Corey Jordan and Rhett Hamrick. The Skyhawks will also have three “speed” guys – Maurice Taylor, Camaren Harris and Kevin Barfield.

Coached by Ryan Nielsen

Simpson said his special teams were also an area that had to be improved. “We feel good about our snapper and punter, Clay Sheley and Joe Hook. But we had to create some competition at the kicker position.” Simpson signed two freshmen kickers, James Satterfield and Tucker Nelson to challenge sophomore Cody Sandlin. “Cody has a year under his belt. Hopefully he’s been working this summer and will show some improvement as well.” Milligan, McNair and Harris will handle the punt return chores, while McNair, Taylor and Barfield return kicks.

LOOKING BACK AT 2009 Too many challenges hurt Skyhawks MARTIN, Tenn. - Head football coach Jason Simpson is not one to stew over things, especially the disappointing 2009 season where his Skyhawks posted a 5-6 overall record and a 4-4 Ohio Valley Conference worksheet. However there is not a day that has gone by since the season finale against Austin Peay where Simpson reflects on the year. A play here, a penalty there, an over abundance of penalties, an interception, five turnovers, miscues in the red zone, injuries, a bad call. Pick the excuse and chances are the Skyhawks probably used it during the campaign. Regardless, it was the absence of two All-Americans because of an off-field incident that set the tempo for the year. "I don't think we were able to overcome it," Simpson said. "We had to ask players to do some things that possibly they were not able to do." The season opened with a convincing 56-0 shutout over visiting Iowa Wesleyan at Hardy M. Graham Stadium. The Skyhawks piled up 555 yards of total offense while senior Miguel Barnes scored three rushing touchdowns and rushed for 115 yards in the game. The defense limited Iowa Wesleyan to 18 passing yards and 74 yards of total offense. The shutout was the third in four years for the Skyhawks. Senior wide receiver Mike Hicks suffered the first major injury of the season for the Skyhawks against host Missouri State. Hicks did not have a catch in the game and the Skyhawks running game staggered with 127 total yards. The Skyhawks were ready for instate rival Memphis in Week 3, and they didn't waste any time showing their hand with an onside kick to open the game. Linebacker Sione Fale'ofa suffered a season-ending injury and 18 penalties for 157 yards destroyed everything else for the Skyhawks. After back-to-back road games, the Skyhawks enjoyed playing Southeast Missouri State at home. Barnes rushed for two touchdowns and eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the third time in four weeks. The Skyhawks held off the Redhawks, 29-22, to even their record at 2-2 and open the OVC slate 1-0. The Skyhawks made the long trek to Jacksonville, Ala. for Week 5 against nationally ranked Jacksonville State. The Skyhawk offense was limited to 224 yards and 109 rushing yards. Jax State quarterback Ryan Perrilloux completed 14-of-16 passes for 205 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Gamecocks to a convincing 522010 UT Martin Football

LOOKING BACK AT 2009 Challenges hurt ... 7 victory. Penalties proved costly during Homecoming as the Skyhawks hosted Tennessee Tech in Week 6. The Skyhawks were flagged 10 times for 164 yards and suffered a 35-28 loss. Barnes and senior Brandyn Young rushed for 99 and 98 yards respectively. Hicks caught nine passes for 64 yards while Thompson completed 26-of-37 passes with two interceptions for 286 yards. "This is the game that got away from us," Simpson said. Another long road trip, this time north to Richmond, Ky. was devastating for the Skyhawks. Despite four interceptions and a fumble, UT Martin suffered a 31-25 loss to the host Colonels, who were ranked No. 23 in the nation, in what was Simpson's first trip to Richmond. On the positive side, Cade Thompson completed 30-of-44 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns. "I thought we matched up extremely well with EKU," Simpson said. The Skyhawks righted the ship in Week 8 against visiting Murray State. Thompson completed 13-of-20 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns. Barnes and Young eached rushed for more than a 100 yards and scored touchdowns.

On the ground, the Skyhawks rushed for 127 yards on 31 carries. Thompson struggled in the passing department, only completing 13-of 24 passing attempts for 140 yards. In the season finale at the friendly confines of Hardy Graham Stadium, the Skyhawks soared with 554 yards of offense. Thompson completed 20-of-37 passes for 378 yards and four touchdowns. Hicks ended his career as a Skyhawk with six catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns, while Barnes rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns. Barnes finished the year with 843 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. He turned in five 100-yard rushing games. Thompson silently etched his name in the school's record book by completing 207-of-339 passes for 2,546 yards and 16 touchdowns. "I think we put too much pressure on Cade," Simpson said. "I think he (Thompson) felt some of it when he didn't have healthy receivers. We had to scheme so much stuff because we were no longer able to run by people." www.utmsports.com

Josh Feliciano picked up 15 yards on the first fake, while Zach Ray gained 19 yards on the second fake. Despite the stellar defense and the explosive offensive outburst, Simpson was not pleased with his team's effort. The Skyhawks turned the ball over three times, two fumbles and an interception. The Skyhawks also struggled on offense in the first quarter. Senior tailback Miguel Barnes led the Skyhawks offense with three touchdowns and 115 yards on 12 carries.

2009 GAME REVIEWS UT Martin 28, Tennessee State 7 // 11.7.09 The University of Tennessee at Martin defensive unit did not score a point against Tennessee State University at LP Field in Nashville, but it made a plethora of big-time plays to set-up a dominating 28-7 victory over the host Tigers. Defensive back Markei Guy had two interceptions in the first half. His first pick led to senior tailback Brandyn Young's first touchdown of the game, a 4yard run. Guy's second pick of the game, in the endzone, preserved the Skyhawks' first half, 14-0, shutout. Defensive end Justin Darden, a transfer from East Mississippi Community College, was only credited with three solo tackles, but he had two tackles for a loss of 15 yards, a quarterback hurry and a fumble recovery with a 65-yard return. Defensive end Chris Murray's fourth quarter interception set up Young's second touchdown of the game, a 1-yard run. As if that was not enough, the two linebackers from nearby Springfield, Josh Bey and Jonathan Utley, showed out for the hometown folks. Bey led all Skyhawk tacklers with seven solo tackles and a tackle for a loss. Utley had six total tackles, a sack and 2.5 tackles for a loss of 13 yards.

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Entering its 63rd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league's 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC's geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003.

Austin Peay (1948)

The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences.

Eastern Illinois (1996)

The OVC's proud history past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC.

Eastern Kentucky (1948)

In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 62 years, 14 teams have won or shared the league's football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 20 outright or shared football crowns, including both the 2007 and 2008 championships, as they compiled a 15-1 league record over that time period. Only one other Football Championship Subdivision school (UMass) has won more Conference titles than the Colonels. Among OVC teams, former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with nine, and Murray State and former member Western Kentucky with eight apiece. Eastern Illinois has claimed five football crowns (including the 2009 title) while Jacksonville State, Morehead State, Tennessee State and former members Evansville and East Tennessee State have captured two apiece. Austin Peay, UT Martin (which captured its first crown in 2006) and former member Youngstown State have one title apiece. Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA's reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term "I-AA" lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation's top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them Eastern Kentucky and Murray State - were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifinal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. EKU was coached by former all-America quarterback Roy Kidd, who was in his 16th year at the helm of his alma mater and who skippered the Colonels to a second national title three years later. Following the 2002 season, Kidd retired after 39 years at EKU, a one-school tenure unmatched in all of Division I. Upon retirement, he ranked sixth all-time among Division I coaches with 315 victories, earning him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. EKU's 19 FCS playoff appearances are the second most all-time (behind only Montana).

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE In addition to Kidd, other coaching legends in the OVC include Charles (Bubber) Murphy, who coached at Middle Tennessee from 1947-1968, Western Kentucky's Jimmy Feix (1968-83), Wilburn Tucker (1954-67) and Don Wade (1968-82) of Tennessee Tech, Bill Ferguson (196777) of Murray State, Guy Penny (1959-67) of Morehead State and Boots Donnelly (1977-78 at Austin Peay; 1979-1998 at Middle Tennessee). Current Eastern Illinois head coach Bob Spoo has compiled 88 wins while his program has been a member of the OVC; that currently ranks fifth all-time in league history.

Beth DeBauche

A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. He would break into the starting lineup halfway through his rookie season and started at cornerback for the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. The OVC has had at least one former player named a NFL Pro Bowl selection in each of the past four seasons.

Football wasn't the only sport in which the OVC was quickly gaining respect. In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game. Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league's automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Murray State added to the OVC's string of upsets in 1988 when it knocked off 14th-ranked North Carolina State, 78-75. The Racers' M&M Boys - Jeff Martin and Don Mann - combined for 39 points in the win. MSU nearly went on to the Sweet 16 that year, losing to eventual national champion Kansas, 61-58. A bank shot by Mann that would've given the Racers a one-point lead rolled off the rim with three seconds left. In 1990 as a No. 16 seed, Murray State took No. 1 seed Michigan State into overtime before falling 75-71; that game still marks the closest a No. 16 seed has come to knocking off a No. 1 in men's tournament action. More recently, Murray State has dominated the OVC Tournament, reaching the championship game every year in the 1990's. The Racers' 14 OVC Tournament Championships are the most among all OVC schools. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men's and women's sport of rifle.

Atlantic Coast College Division Championship December 16, 1967 UT Martin 25, West Chester State 8 ORLANDO, Fla. - Making its first-ever bowl game appearance in school history, UT Martin easily rolled past West Chester State (Pa.) 25-8 in the1967 Tangerine Bowl, the Atlantic Coast College Division Championship. A strong defensive effort led by 6-6 defensive end Gordon Lambert produced two safeties and limited the Rams to just 17 yards rushing. West Chester, billed as the top small college team in the East, was the winner of the Lambert Cup. West Chester had averaged 40 points a game in the regular season. Errol Hook, a 155-pound quarterback, made his first start of the season. He set up the first TD and ran four yards for the finale. He was the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher with 73 yards. Played mostly in the rain, UT Martin had 314 yards total offense. UT Martin led 18-8 at the half. The only West Chester score came from a long punt return. Gene Sides booted a school-record 69-yard punt in the contest

MARTIN- UT Martin was successful in its fi rst-ever NCAA Division II Playoff appearance, defeating visiting Butler University of Indianapolis,Ind., in a rain-soaked contest. A crowd of almost 5,000 braved the incliment weather to cheer the Pacers in the historic contest. A steady rain fell throughout the game on the Pacer Stadium turf, which had been soaked by more than five inches of rain. The Pacer defense limited the nation’s Division II leading rusher and scorer Steve Roberts to 70 yards on 25 attempts. The front four, led by Emanuel McNeil, Jerome Rinehart and Sam Dudley, kept constant pressure on the Bulldogs. The Pacer’s run ‘n’ shoot offense was slowed by the weather. After a scoreless first quarter, UT Martin posted a strong second frame. Leon Reed fired a 34-yard strike to Andre Langley and Ki Tok Chu added field goals of 44 and 49 yards. UT Martin kept control in the second half. The only Butler points came following a fumble by reserve quarterback Mitch Lowery at his own 23.

KINGSVILLE, Texas- Host Texas A & I put on a flawless exhibition in ending the Pacerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopes in a quarterfinal playoff game. The Pacers were guilty of five turnovers while the Javelinas played error-free football, much to the delight of the partisian and sun-baked crowd. The temperature at kickoff was 95 degrees. Tailback Johnny Bailey would win a total of three Division II Player of the Year Awards, but it was hard-running fullback Heath Sherman who did the damage. Shermank ran for four TDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Southern Illinois 36, UT Martin 30

CARBONDALE, IL. --- No. 12 UT Martin was 57 seconds from advancing to the second round of the Football Championship when Southern Illinois rallied for a 36-30 victory over the visiting Skyhawks.

Jerry Reese will roll up his sleeves and dirty his hands as an NFL general manager, do not worry about that. He was about 10 when he started working in his great grandfather’s slaughterhouse in a backwoods corner of western Tennessee, shooting hogs through the eyes, cutting their necks, skinning them, making them bleed. The kid had to help his family pay some bills. He gutted pigs, goats, cows, just about anything that once moved. When that work dried up, Jerry chopped cotton and cut the cemetery grass. So no, this is one 40-something executive not afraid of building, or gutting, the football Giants. Jerry was raised on the banks of the Mississippi, one of nine family members getting by in a two-bedroom house, a home that in the early years didn’t offer the luxury of an indoor toilet. This was hard country living in Tiptonville, a town of 2,500 residents wedged between the Mississippi and Reelfoot Lake. The river could get angry, and almost every April the levee would break and the waters would flood the Reese home. Jerry was one of the resourceful ones at high tide. He’d end up in a boat to do his fishing on a nearby road. So yes, he’ll think outside of Tom Coughlin’s box. No great grandson of a sharecropper grows up to be general manager of the Giants without summoning the adventurous spirit of ol’ Huck Finn. In the wake of the Martin Luther King holiday, the Giants will introduce Jerry Reese as the first black general manager of either pro football team in the market. It will stand among the more profound social statements in NFL history. For the first time, the league will prove that a black man can rise to the top of a flagship franchise without having been a professional athlete. Reese understands the significance of the moment. He was just talking about it with his sister, Jackie, a high school teacher charged to straighten out suspended students. “Jerry can have such an impact on African-American boys,” Jackie said, “and he’s aware of that. He came from a nowhere place on the map, and now he’s ready to take on the world.” His mother, Ozella, had a thing or two to do with all that. She worked in a garment factory to feed her two boys and five girls; her eighth child died young in a car wreck. After the factory closed, Ozella became a prison guard at the state pen. The children followed the lead of their mother and stepfather, Clarence Garland, a state parks employee who treated them as his own. “They all grew up working,” Ozella said.

They grew up accepting the importance of education -- all seven attended college. Some 120 miles north of Memphis, Tiptonville is the seat of Lake County, among the three poorest counties in the state. The community survives on the prison, the county’s largest employer, and on the Reelfoot tourists who come to see its bald eagles. The community survives on the hopes of its people. Tiptonville was home to Clifton B. Cates, 19th commandant of the Marine Corps and hero of World Wars I and II. It is now home to Jerry Reese, a 5-foot-9 small-college safety about to become the biggest Giant of all. “A natural born leader,” said Cliff Sturdivant, Reese’s coach at Lake County High. Jerry was a quarterback at Lake County, the first to lead the Falcons to a state title. The one time his 14-0 senior season was threatened, Reese ran back the second-half kickoff for a touchdown against archrival Halls High. “I coached for 20 years,” Sturdivant said, “and he’s got the biggest heart of any player I’ve ever seen.” Mike Hutchens felt the full force of that heartbeat. Long before he covered Reese’s career at the University of Tennessee-Martin as a reporter for The Messenger of Union City, Hutchens intercepted one of Jerry’s passes in a state playoff game. On the return, Hutchens was too busy looking for daylight, reaching for glory, to notice the toy freight train bearing down on him. Reese delivered payback in a teeth-rattling, snot-busting way. “I’d never, ever been hit like that,” Hutchens said. “And Jerry just got up and grinned at me.” A field general, Hutchens called the high school quarterback. A fearless competitor, Hutchens called the UT Martin safety. Even without exceptional speed, Reese made a lasting impression as a college player. He intercepted enough passes and pancaked enough receivers to win induction into the UT Martin Hall of Fame. “Jerry couldn’t have been more than 150 pounds when he got here,” said Bill Kaler, the assistant AD who did two tours of Vietnam as an Army colonel, “and I saw him hit a kid so hard in a spring game I thought he killed him. Pound for pound, Jerry’s the toughest guy I’ve ever met.” As a graduate assistant, Reese slept on the couch belonging to Jeremiah Davis, the UT Martin aide who would become a Giants scout. “Jerry wasn’t the low man on the totem pole,” said Vickie Reynolds, the office secretary and Reese friend. “He was beneath the totem pole. But he turned out to be an unbelievable worker.”

JERRY REESE

cont. Reese broke down film, recruited junior college players from more depressed areas than his own and moved up the coaching staff ladder. In 1994, Davis helped him get a scouting job with the Giants. Reese immediately stood out. He knew talent, and knew how to articulate his knowledge of talent. Ernie Accorsi realized he had to get this scout off the road, get him in a jacket and tie. Reese was terrified of New Jersey real estate prices, but Accorsi convinced him to make the move. The GM jumped Reese over veteran scouts to make him Dave Gettleman’s assistant in pro personnel, and then jumped him over more experienced candidates to name him director of player personnel. Accorsi loved his charisma, his confidence, his ability to lead. Reese walked into a draft room full of grizzled scouts looking sideways at the wonder boy, and he needed 10 minutes to take command of that room without alienating a soul.Reese passionately fought for Osi Umenyiora, another small college player from the South, when many observers thought that pick was a second-round reach. “Everything my son has touched since high school,” Ozella said, “has turned to gold.” Now all of Tiptonville believes Reese to be the best leader to come out of UT Martin since Pat Summitt. Evan Jones, editor of The Lake County Banner, a weekly paper that goes to bed Tuesday night, said he was hoping Reese would be named before deadline. “It’s our lead story on the front page,” Jones said. The story is of a farmboy who would make $25 in the slaughterhouse and the cotton field, and give $20 to his mother. The story is of a high school and college graduate who worked to pay his great-grandmother’s bills. “It sounds like we’re pushing Jerry for president,” said Danelle Fabianich, a UT Martin assistant AD. “We just want people to know Jerry is a good southern gentleman.” Jerry Reese used to send back Giants hats and shirts to his friends and neighbors on the Mississippi. As general manager of a flagship NFL franchise, he’ll send back something worth a little more. Hope. This column is reprinted with permission of Ian O’Connor and the The Record.

In 1988, UT Martin had four players enter into the ranks of the National Football League draft, believed to be a first for any program below the NCAA Division I level to have that many players selected into a single draft. In addition, three players signed contracts to play in the Canadian Football League, and two others signed NFL free agent contracts. As an NCAA Division II school, the former Pacers were allotted a total of 40 scholarships. UT Martin posted an 11-2 overall record and was tri-champions of the Gulf South Conference along with advancing to the Division II quarterfinals in 1988. The Pacer draftees included running back John Burch with the Phoenix Cardinals in the eighth round, wide receiver William Mackall with the Indianapolis Colts in the ninth, defensive tackle Emanuel McNeil to the New England Patriots in the 10th,and defensive end Jerome Rinehart to the New York Giants as a linebacker in the 11th. The two players to sign free agent contracts were defensive end Sam Dudley and wide receiver Andre Langley. Dudley inked with the Seattle Seahawks. Langley had a year of eligibility remaining, but as a fifth-year senior opted to enter the pro ranks, signing with the Cardinals. The CFL-bound players included quarterback Leon Reed and receivers Mark Guy and Ernest Jackson. Reed and Jackson signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Guy with the Saskatchewan Rough Riders.
