Allgood-Bailey StadiumFans attending Miner football games now have beautiful new surroundings towatch Miner football. After playing its home games only in the daylight sincethe start of the program, the Miners have played under the lights during eachof the last three seasons at renovated Jackling Field at Allgood-BaileyStadium.

The facililty was renovated after the 2000 season, thanks to a gift fromalumnus and former Miner player Keith Bailey and his wife, Pat. The couple’s$1.5 million donation led to the construction of lights, a new concession andrestroom facility for the stadium, as well as an all-weather track for theuniversity’s track and field program.

During the groundbreaking ceremony in October 2000, UMR officialsannounced that the stadium complex would be named Allgood-Bailey Stadiumin honor of retired UMR coach Dewey Allgood. Bailey, a 1964 graduate ofUMR who served as chairman, president and chief executive officer of TheWilliams Companies Inc. in Tulsa, says Allgood was a major influence duringBailey’s years at UMR.

Allgood spent 40 years as a coach at the university and was the Miners’ head football coach when the facility opened for play in 1967.

The stadium complex, which was built as part of a package with the Gale Bullman Multi-Purpose Building (which stands east of the stadium), is in its 38thyear as the home of the Miners.

The stadium was opened in 1967 and retained the name of the old field which hosted Miner football from 1915 to 1966. It was named for Daniel CowanJackling, an alumnus who donated $5,000 to construct the original Jackling Field which stood just north of Bishop Street. The location is now the site ofseveral campus buildings near the Curtis Laws Wilson Library. A plaque on campus between the Humanities/Social Science and Math/Computer Sciencebuildings marks the spot where the original field was located.

The facility seats 8,000 spectators, with a steel grandstand on the east side and another set of bleachers on the opposite side. A dressing room facility,which includes locker rooms, meeting and storage rooms, and offices, is located at the south end of the stadium. The 810-square foot stadium press boxstands atop the west stands.

The first game in the facility was played in 1967 before the stadium was completed. A total of 5,000 temporary bleachers used during the first year and thecomplex was completed by the start of the 1969 season.

The 73rd Missouri General Assembly provided $2 million for the constructionproject in 1965. Construction was performed by the Maggi ConstructionCompany, Inc., of Rolla. In the summer of 1998, a new grass playing field wasinstalled by Munie Outdoor Services of Caseyville, Ill., the same firm whichinstalled the grass baseball field at St. Louis' Busch Stadium. Maggi Inc., andCSE Enterprises were the lead contractors during the 2001 stadium renovation.

UMR Coaching Staff

KIRBY CANNON -- HEAD COACH

Kirby Cannon will begin his sixth season as the head football coach at UMR in 2004.

Cannon came to UMR with the task of rebuilding a Miner program that went through a difficultstretch during the 1990s. The Miners went 2-9 in 2000 and 2001 before struggling over the pasttwo seasons. The Miners have been showing improvement during Cannon’s tenure while playing inthe powerful Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

Cannon, who had been an assistant coach at Western Illinois University prior to his selection as theMiners' head coach in December 1998, played against the Miners while at Southwest MissouriState University and coached against UMR as an assistant at Truman State University.

A native of Alexandria, Mo., Cannon faced the Miners as a quarterback at SMSU, where hereceived his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1981. He began his coaching career thatyear as well as the defensive coordinator at Ozark High School in southwest Missouri and helpedlead that team to its first playoff appearance in school history.

After that two-year stint, Cannon went into the collegiate ranks as a graduate assistant coach atIowa State University with his primary duties being his work with the tight ends and special teams.Cannon, who also completed work on his master's degree at ISU in 1985, spent one of those twoyears as the head coach of the junior varsity program and one year as acting recruiting coordinator.

His next position was as the defensive coordinator at North Central College in Naperville, Ill., wherehe helped a struggling program improve to a 19-18-1 mark over the next four years -- the school'sbest four-year record in 30 seasons. That helped him get the position of defensive backs coach atNortheast Missouri State University (now Truman State) in 1989. He was elevated in 1993 to defensive coordinator.

While at Truman, Cannon also served as recruiting coordinator and helped bring in players that led the Bulldogs to a record of 42-22 over a six-year span and to threeappearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Truman State finished second to Division II power Pittsburg State in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association ineach of the playoff years.

When Bulldog head coach Eric Holm left Truman State after the 1994 season, Cannon followed him to Northern Michigan University to serve in the same roles for the next twoyears. Northern Michigan had winning seasons during both of those years and had a two-year record of 14-6.

Prior to his arrival at UMR, Cannon was an assistant coach at Western Illinois University, primarily coaching the defensive backs. Over that span, WIU was ranked second inNCAA Division I-AA in 1997 and reached the national semifinals in 1998, falling in that round to eventual runner-up Georgia Southern.

While at SMSU, Cannon played quarterback for the Bears’ footballteam and pitched for the baseball team. He held the SMSU schoolrecord for career pitching wins (25) until it was broken in 2003 byPhiladelphia Phillies draft choice Brad Ziegler. He received hisbachelor’s degree in physical education from the university in 1981.

At UMR, Cannon will work on the defensive side of the ball for the thirdstraight season after working with the offensive backs during his firstthree seasons at the helm of the Miner program.

2004 Season Outlook

Mark Becker, who is the projected starter at quarterback forUMR this fall, threw for nearly 600 yards in a reserve role

last season with six touchdown passes.

Cole Drussa caught 55 passes in the 2003 season, themost by any tight end in the MIAA and earned second-

team All-America honors in the process.

Even though the Miners will have to replace some of their keycomponents on the offensive side of the ball for the upcoming year, the2003 season gave hope that UMR may be ready to make a move to putsome of its recent struggles behind it.

“The way we played over the last four games of last season – wherewere competitive in all of them – gives us a lot of optimism coming into thisyear,” Cannon said. “We feel this is a season in which we have a chanceto make a great improvement in the win column as we have 15 startersback in the mix.” The Miners had the most proficient passing offense in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association last season, averaging 246.3yards per game through the air. The 224 points scored by the Miners werethe most the team had scored in a decade, which was also the length oftime since a UMR team had averaged at least 300 offensive yards pergame before it posted over 330 a game a year ago.

But even with all the improved production on offense, the struggles ondefense prevented the Miners from breaking into the win column. Thatarea is one that head coach Kirby Cannon believes will improve this falldue to the athleticism and experience the unit gained last season.

Offense:Three of the ringleaders in the Miners’ offensive show last season –

Evan Gray, Clint Moss and Uros Stosic – won’t be on the field with theteam this fall, but it is a unit that will not lack experience.

Gray will be redshirted in the 2004 season after throwing for a schoolrecord 2,104 yards and 20 touchdowns a year ago. But while he waswaiting to be cleared to play early in the season, Mark Becker made twostarts and performed well in that time, completing 48 percent of his passes

for 592 yards and sixtouchdowns. Becker, whoenters the fall as theprojected starter atquarterback, threw formore than 200 yardsin one of his starts andalso did so in one halfof an appearance inrelief.

And even withtwo of the Miners’ topreceivers from lastseason, Moss andStosic, graduatingfrom the program,Becker will still have asolid group ofreceivers to throw to.

At the top of thatlist is tight end ColeDrussa, a second-team All-Americaperformer who caught55 passes for 601yards during his junioryear in which he wasnamed to the All-MIAA

first team.“I feel that we have

the best tight end inDivision II in Cole,”Cannon said. “He madetremendous progresslast season and is a keyelement in what we’retrying to get doneoffensively.”

UMR had fourreceivers who caught atleast 47 passes apiecelast year, the threeaforementionedindividuals and BrettFischer, a senior whocaught 47 balls for 477yards and two scores. He will be joined on theflanks by returninglettermen Antwan Smithand Lagarius Criss aswell as by a pair ofnewcomers from the junior college ranks in Tyrus Owens and Phil Shin,both of which earned all-league honors at their respective schools last fall.

While the Miners gained roughly 75 percent of their yards through theair, the running game gained a boost late in the season with theemergence of Keenan Miller, a junior who had a pair of 100-yard games inNovember. Miller, an honorable mention All-MIAA back, ran for a team-high 528 yards and figures to be part of a tag-team combination at thatpostion with returner Dan Lester and newcomer Delane Ingram, who ranfor over 1,100 yards at Solano Community College in 2003.

Another aspect that will help the Miner offensive attack is that all fivemembers of the starting offensive line are back. Eric Webster had a solidjunior season at center, while guard Joe Tomasek was an honorablemention all-conference choice. Fellow guard Colin McFarland is a three-year starter at his position, while the tackle spots will be occupied by a trioof junior competing for those roles, Kyle Marshall, Lou Kuelker and JordanPreston.

A number of talented redshirt freshmen – including Peter Bazin andAdam Keithley – along with junior college transfer Ken Pearce figure tochallenge the incumbents for those starting roles. “Our offensive line is intact and I’m also excited about our prospects atthe running back position,” Cannon said. “Even with the losses that we didhave, there’s a chance that we can be even more productive on offense.”

Defense:The Miner defensive struggles in 2003 were well documented, as a

young group gave up more points (500) than any UMR team in history. Butdue to the experience those players gained a year ago, plus the influx ofsome redshirt freshman and transfers, UMR figures to have an improvedunit in the upcoming year.

2004 Season Outlook

Avian Jordan led the Miners in tackles with 99 during hisfreshman year, earning honorable mention All-MIAA honors

at linebacker in the process.

Marc Armbruster connected on 25 of his 27 extra pointattempts in his first season as the Miner placekicker in

2003.

Some things to watch for in 2004...

Brett Fischer needs four catches to move among the top 10 for careerreceptions at UMR...he needs 17 to join seven others with 100 careercatches...he needs 64 yards to reach 1,000 for his career, 289 to reach tenthplace.

Cole Drussa needs 22 catches to reach the top 10 for receptions (23 if BrettFischer reaches the mark first) and 35 to get to 100 for his career...he needs243 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark in receptions...a 50-catch season willmake him the second player in school history with back-to-back seasons withat least 50 receptions (Chris Alverson is the other).

Keenan Miller needs 219 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark for his career; hecurrently stands 775 yards away from tenth place on UMR’s all-time list.

A Miner quarterback has thrown a touchdown pass in a school record 12consecutive games heading into the 2004 season. Last season was the first inwhich UMR scored a touchdown through the air in every game. Fourquarterbacks – including Mark Becker, the projected starter this fall – have hada hand in establishing that record.

“We have a number of outstanding athletes on the defensive side ofthe ball,” Cannon said. “There are several in particular at linebacker and inthe secondary and I fully expect those groups to take a significant stepforward this season.”

Cannon feels that the defensive line has the potential to be the bestone the Miners have had since he took over as head coach in 1999. Notonly does it have three returning starters back in end Aaron Gage andtackles Rob Rutherford and Derek Drussa, but several reserves in thosespots gained valuable playing experience. Jordan Tucker and KyranWeaver, a pair of juniors, figure to compete for the vacant starting role atdefensive end, while Justin Ayers, Clarence Chaney and redshirt freshmanDallas Massie are expected to make a push for spots at tackle.

At linebacker, the Miners have three returners that have been startersduring their careers at UMR. Avian Jordan, a sophomore who earnedhonorable mention All-MIAA honors a year ago, returns to the strongside

linebacker position wherehe led UMR with 99 tacklesa year ago. AndrewCleveland played well ashe earned more playingtime down the stretch andfigures to contend for astarting role along withJosh Robinson, whomissed a majority of lastseason with an injury.

Those players figureto be pushed by returnerBrad Brueckner – who hasbeen a starter in the pastas well – and redshirtsOliver Carter and SamWilliams for those startingspots.

UMR also has anexperienced group in thesecondary heading into thefall. Nathan Williams, whoshared the team lead ininterceptions last seasonwith three, returns to one of

the cornerback spots opposite Corey Gamble, another returning letterman. Jamel Sims, who earned a good deal of playing time at the corner lastseason, and transfer Daudi White to also see plenty of playing time. Whiteposted solid numbers last season while playing at the junior college level inCalifornia.

Aaron Clarke, who has been a starter in the secondary since hisfreshman year, returns as the starter at free safety. Clarke was tied withWilliams for the interception lead last season. Rodrick McDonald, a two-year starter at strong safety, will return to that spot along with JeremyDotson, who also saw significant playing time during the 2003 campaign.

Special Teams:The Miners need to make a couple of significant replacements in the

special teams, namely at punter and in the kick return game. Chris Harveycompleted his eligibility last season by averaging better than 36 yards apunt, leaving sophomore Ryan Griffin as the only punter on the roster from

a year ago. However,transfer Trey Lunsford, afirst-team all-regionpunter at Pearl RiverCommunity College inMississippi last season,figures to be a topcontender for that job.

Lunsford averagedmore than 40 yards perpunt last season. UMR does return itsplacekicker in MarcArmbruster, who was 25-of-27 a year ago onextra points. He will lookto improve in the fieldgoal department wherehe connected on justthree of nine lastseason. Waiting in thewings is freshman TeddyKarcasinas, a strongkicker at the high school level in Texas who will compete for theplacekicking role.

Nick Cowell, the Miners’ long snapper who also plays on the offensiveline, returns to that role as does Becker as the holder.

Meanwhile, the Miners will need to replace Moss in the return roles hefilled; he was the team’s top punt returner last season and averaged nearly18 yards per kickoff return. Lester and Brett Fischer figure to handle amajority of the kickoff return duties, but according to Cannon, the puntreturn job will be determined during the pre-season with a number ofcandidates being possibilities.

UMR to leave MIAA after 2004-05 seasonThe upcoming 2004 football season will be the final one for UMR as a

member of the MIAA, as the university is withdrawing from theconference to join the Great Lakes Valley Conference. As the GLVC

does not sponsor football as a conference sport, UMR will compete asan NCAA Division II independent starting with the 2005 season.

In its time as a member of the MIAA, UMR has won eight conferencechampionships, including four outright titles (1947, 1949, 1950 and

1980) and four shared titles. The Miners’ 1980 team, which finished witha 10-0 record, was one of only two MIAA teams in the last 40 seasons to

finish the year without a loss or a tie.

The MIAA celebrates its 92nd season this year and 12th under the current title. Known as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association for its first 79 years, theleague changed its name to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Associationon July 1, 1992.

The MIAA has the reputation of being one of the strongest athletic conferences atthe NCAA Division II level. During this decade alone, four institutions have wonnational championships -- Pittsburg State University (1991) and Northwest MissouriState University (1998 and 1999) in football, Missouri Southern State College insoftball (1992) and Central Missouri State University in baseball (1994 and 2003). Many NCAA championship events during the 1990s had at least one MIAArepresentative.

In the long history of the league, the MIAA has captured 12 team titles and since1964 over 100 individual championships on the national level.

The conference was formed in 1912 with 14 members. It was reorganized in 1924to include only the five regional state colleges: Central Missouri State, NortheastMissouri State University (now Truman State University), Northwest Missouri State,Southeast Missouri State University and Southwest Missouri State University. TheMissouri School of Mines -- later renamed the University of Missouri-Rolla -- wasadded in 1935 to increase the membership to six.

Thirty-five years passed before any changes were made in the league'sorganization, when Lincoln University was added in 1970. The University ofMissouri-St. Louis was added in 1980 and Southwest Missouri State withdrew fromthe MIAA a year later to change its affiliation to NCAA Division I. The addition ofSouthwest Baptist University in 1986 restored the MIAA as an eight-teamconference.

The MIAA expanded to 12 schools in 1989 with the addition of Missouri Southern,Missouri Western State College, and the league's first two schools from the state ofKansas, Pittsburg State and Washburn University.

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA for Division I after the 1990-91 season andwas replaced by Emporia State University. Missouri-St. Louis left the leaguefollowing the 1995-96 athletic season to join the Great Lakes Valley Conferenceand Lincoln left the MIAA following the 1998-99 academic year. The 2004-05season will be UMR’s last in the conference as it will join the GLVC in 2005.

Not only is the MIAA celebrating its 92nd anniversary this year, it is also in its 21styear of sponsoring championships in women's athletics.

Ralph McFillen, who previously served as the commissioner of the Gulf South andMetro Conferences, is in his sixth year as the commissioner of the MIAA. MattNewbery is in his ninth year as the league's director of sports information. TheMIAA offices are located in Overland Park, Kan.
