MSU’s venerable Blakeslee Stadium, with a capacity of 7,000, is a great place to play football - just ask the Minnesota Vikings. MSU serves as the summer home of the Vikings and the NFL squad gives the natural grass field a real work out twice each day during their preseason camp. The Mavericks share the field with the Vikings for three weeks, and the stadium field and the three adjecent practice fields are maintained in that same professional condition throughout the college season. The home of the Mavericks since 1962, Blakeslee Stadium is named for C.P. Blakeslee, who served as a coach, athletic director, and professor in Health and Physical Education from 1924 until 1961. During his 37 years at MSU, Blakeslee played an integral role in the growth of the athletics program. Blakeslee coached many sports at MSU when he first arrived and his hoop squads posted a 117-81 mark from 1923 to 1939, racking up four conference championships along the way. As MSU’s football coach, “Blake” built a 31-28-5 record in 10 years. Blakeslee Stadium will enter the 2007 season as one of two facilities in the North Central Conference featuring a

natural grass surface, with affiliate member Central Washington being the other. In addition, this will be the third season featuring recently added lights that allow Maverick football to be played at night for the first time in nearly a decade, and “Mount Maverick,” a berm installed behind the southeast endzone that allows for new seating opportunities for fans and an in-game view of the field never before seen at the site. Now in its 46th season playing in Blakeslee Stadium, Minnesota State owns an all-time record

of 125-97-5 in on its home turf, which equates to a winning percentage of 56.2%. In 27 of their 44 seasons in Blakeslee Stadium, the Mavericks have posted a winning record, including a 13-season stretch from 1965 through 1978 in which they accomplished the feat. Besides MSU football and Vikings preseason camp, Blakeslee Stadium is the site of several functions, including the annual fireworks display on the Fourth of July, the yearly “Thunder of Drums” performance, and other sporting events. In addition to Blakeslee Stadium, Minnesota State facilities have undergone a dramatic facelift over the past several years, with the building of Taylor Center and the renovations to Myers Field House, Highland Center and Otto Arena. Included in these upgrades are a 7,000 square-foot weight room located in Taylor Center, new coaches offices in Highland Center and locker rooms for each individual sport housed in both Taylor Center and Highland Center.

2008 OUTLOOK

By Trenton Ecker, AC Intern

The Minnesota State football program will be entering its first year in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Athletic Conference this season. New head coach Todd Hoffner recognizes the challenges he will face in the NSIC. “Contrary to popular belief the last three contests Minnesota State played against NSIC opponents we lost,” said coach Hoffner. “We have a lot of work to do and it’s not going to be any cake walk by any stretch of the imagination. We will have to play ex-ceptionally well and be very competitive.” Coach Hoffner expects his team to play hard with sportsmanship and to compete on every snap. “When the players do all the things we ask them to do we are going to put our players in position to succeed and to win.”

OffensivelyThe running game this year will feature se-nior running back Donte Shackelford and red-shirt freshman Jake Aberg. Shackelford lead the team in touchdowns last year with 11 and had 828 all-purpose yards. “Both of them are a great one-two punch and are going to do a tremendous job in help-ing us run the football and control the game,” said Hoffner. “We expect great things out of both of them.” With the departure of Ben King the job of starting quarterback is up for grabs. Junior Ryan Fick is the front-runner right now to take over the spot and red-shirt freshman Taylor Bennett is going to be competing for the spot as well. MSU has five solid receivers they can rely on to make big plays on the perimeter as

Senior center Jake droessler will again be a linch-pin for the Maverick offensive line.

well as block for the run this year. Last year’s four top receivers, seniors Damian Turner, Marcus Hansen, junior Chris Nowlin and sophomore Omaar Balton will be returning for the 2008 season. They will be getting help from transfer senior Vincent Flury. Turner lead the team in receptions with 60 last year for 790 yards and two touchdowns. The offensive line has a lot of maturity and experience coming back this season. Ju-nior tackle Adrian Battles, sophomore tackle Jeremy Clark, junior guard Andy Schoon-over and senior center Jake Droessler all started for the team last year. Red-shirt junior guard Matt Gray will be joining them this year. “I think our starting offensive line is very good, very physical and very talented,” said Hoffner. “They love to run the football which they proved this spring and we are very excited about their potential.”

DefensivelyHoffner believes all of the returning play-ers on defense are very capable of making tackles. He does not want the secondary to be the leading tacklers on the team because that would mean the defense is not getting the job done up front. The leading tacklers on the team should be the linemen and the linebackers. Junior Randy Earl will be anchoring the team at the defensive end position. Last year, Earl was MSU’s lone All-NCC selection. Sophomores Michael Robinson and Bryan Schmid will be providing a lot of support on the end as well. Seniors Andrew Franklin, Chris Brunkhorst and Jeremiah Toloumu will be making up the middle of the line for most of the snaps this year. The linebackers are expected to make

more plays this year to help relieve the pressure on the secondary. A big part of that plan will be put on last year’s leading tackler, senior buck linebacker Blake Freese who had a team-high 82 tackles. Sophomore linebackers Matt McQuiston and Dan Fe-hlberg will sure up the defense. A big point of emphasis this year on de-fense will be to stop the big pass play. “We are going to make teams earn their points and if they are going to beat us they are going to have to work the football methodically,” said Hoffner. The team needs solid contributions out of junior strong safety Jesse Graves and junior cornerback Steve Robinson as well as the rest of the secondary to help prevent the big play. The coaching staff will be changing up the defensive scheme to include more zone coverage, gap control and gap responsibility. They want the team to keep the plays in front of them so they can play sound defense.

Special TeamsSophomore punter Gerard DeWet has had a solid spring and the coaching staff is going to continue to work with him to make him into a better consistent player. The team will be holding an open tryout for the starting kicking job starting during fall camp. Redshirt-freshman transfer Grady Der-heim will battle with freshman Spencer Goff for kick-off and extra-point duties. Junior Kelvin Rodgers returns to handle the kick-off duties this season. Last season, returned 28 kicks for 723 yards and a touch-down last season and 25 punt returns for 285 yards.

2007 REVIEW

The 2007 edition of the Minnesota State football team did something that hadn’t been accomplished at MSU in nearly 10 years, start 3-1. The great start began with a 23-14 home-opening victory over the University of Central Missouri. The game proved to be a glimpse of what was in store for the Maverick offense over the season as senior quarterback Ben King completed 24-of-45 passes for 408 yards and three touchdowns. It marked the first of five 400-yard per-formances by King over the season. Week two saw Minnesota State take on perennial power in the Cham-pionship Subdivision ranks, Northern Iowa. The Mavericks trailed 20-14 entering the second half, however UNI would score 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to secure the vic-tory. Week three saw Minnesota State down Peru State, 70-0 in its final non-conference contest of the season. King worked just a quarter and a series, throwing for 299 yards and 8 touch-downs. MSU opened its final run through in the North Central Conference with a 26-16 victory over Augustana at

All-North Central Conference Second Team Blake Freese led Minnesota State in tackles last year with 82.

home. The victory marked MSU’s first conference-opening victory since 1997. Defensive end Randy Earl finished the game with 10 tackles in-cluding three for a loss and was named the league’s Player of the Week for his efforts. Following the win at home against Augustana, MSU enjoyed a bye week before traveling to Nebraska-Omaha who was the sixth-ranked team in the nation at the point. UNO handed MSU a 45-15 loss, despite King throwing for 424 yards and two touchdowns. The loss to UNO started a down-ward spiral of sorts for MSU as it lost four its next five games. MSU’s lone win during the span came at Minnesota Duluth, when the Mavericks downed the Bulldogs, 34-14. King threw for 341 yards and four touchdowns in the win, but his effort was overshadowed by the defense, which tallied a total of 11 tackles for a loss. Senior Grant Smith finished the game with nine tackles, including 4.5 sacks. The final two weeks of the season

saw MSU drop a 17-10 decision at home to Central Washington before downing Western Washington, 48-24 in Bellingham. King finished his final game as a Maverick completing 40-of-54 passes for 429 yards and five touchdowns. Earl was the lone representative on the All-NCC squad, while sev-eral Maverick’s were named to the Second-Team and Honorable Mention squads. King finished the season connect-ing on 339-of-569 passes for 4,096 yards and 28 touchdowns, setting school records in each of the catego-ries. Damian Turner led the squad in receptions with 60 catches for 790 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 13.2 yards per catch and 79 yards per game. Donte Shackelford was the squads leading rusher, carrying the ball 40 times for 187 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, the Mavericks return its top five tacklers from a year ago in Blake Freese (82), Ryan Weinzierl (70), Earl (66), Matt McQuistion (58) and Chris Brunkhorst (56).

Return Specialist/Defensive Back Kelvin Rod-gers covered 1,008 yards in returns last year.

Chris Nowlin caught 52 passes for 822 yards and six touchdowns last year.

It was also the 100th NCC victory for the Mavericks in Blakeslee Stadium.

Redshirt-freshman Omaar Balton caught a game-high 11 passes for 116 yards, while junior wideout Marcus Hansen caught two passes for a total of two yards, however each of his catches were good for touchdowns. Minnesota State struck first as King connected with senior tailback Tory Chappell for a nine-yard touchdown strike with 5:52 remaining in the first half. The point-after-touchdown was missed, and the Mavericks took an early 6-0 lead. Augustana answered when running back Joe Clark scampered 17 yards for a touchdown, after the ensuing kick, the Vikings went ahead 7-6 with 1:52 remaining in the first quarter. MSU regained the lead for good when King connected on a six-yard touchdown pass with Hansen. The point-after-touchdown was intercepted by Augustana’s Mike Vanasek and returned for a rare defensive point-after-touchdown, pushing the Maverick advantage to 12-9. King and Hansen connected once again nearly eight minutes later for a seven-yard strike. After a successful conversion, the Mavericks went up 19-9. Augustana scored 53 seconds into the second half as quarterback Daniel Millus connected with Tommy Ellingsworth for a 69-yard touchdown strike to cut the MSU lead to 19-16. The Mavericks then tacked on the game’s final points when the Augustana longsnapper airmailed the snap into the endzone. Sophomore defensive back Steve Robinson recovered the ball for the touchdown, giving MSU a 26-16 advantage. The Maverick defense was paced by sophomore end Randy Earl, who finished the game with 10 tackles, two-and-a-half of which were sacks, and three of which were for a loss. He also forced a fumble.

GAME 5Minnesota State 15

Nebraska-Omaha 45September 29, 2007 • Omaha, Neb. • Attendance: 5,618

The sixth-ranked University of Nebraska-Omaha raced to an early 24-0 advantage and never looked back as it downed Minnesota State, 45-15, in front of 5,618 fans at Canigila Field on the campus of UNO. Minnesota State senior quarterback Ben King finished the game completing 37-of-64 passes for 424 yards and two touchdowns. King became the school’s all-time leader in passes completed (738) in the loss passing John Hebgen’s (1993-96) previous school record of 730. The 64 attempts by King tied his own NCC and MSU record for attempts in a game. Both teams combined for 947 yards of total offense and 152 plays in the game. MSU finished with 464 yards, while UNO racked up 483 total yards. Nebraska-Omaha scored on its first two possessions to open a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Minnesota State started the second quarter by driving 62 yards before UNO’s Jeff Souder knocked the ball away from King on the 19-yard line. The fumble was recovered by UNO’s Randy Kush who scampered 81-yards for the score, pushing the Nebraska-Omaha advantage to 21-0. Minnesota State opened the second half with a nine-play, 80-yard drive capped by 25-yard touchdown pass from King to junior wideout – and Omaha, Neb., native - donte Shackelford. King followed the touchdown with a two-point conversion, as he connected with junior wide receiver Marcus Hansen to cut the UNO lead to 24-8. After trading punts, Minnesota State once again found the endzone as King found Hansen open over the middle for a 46-yard touchdown strike to cut the UNO lead to 31-15 with 1:17 remaining in the third quarter.

North Dakota 38October 6, 2007 • Mankato, Minn. • Attendance: 6,102

The University of North Dakota – ranked No. 2 in the AFCA – rallied from a 10-point deficit with 6:46 remaining in the game to down Minnesota State, 38-34, in front of 6,102 fans in Blakeslee Stadium on the campus of Minnesota State University. It marked the largest crowd since 6,100 fans witnessed the MSU and North Dakota State game on Oct. 2, 1993. Minnesota State senior quarterback Ben King finished the game 30-of-55 for 458 yards and a touchdown. UND’s quarterback Danny Freund also had a great day as he finished 22-of-32 for 346 yards and a touchdown. King’s performance marked the second-highest single-game passing total in Minnesota State history. Last year, King threw for 505 yards in a win over South Dakota. Freund’s 81-yard touchdown pass to running back Ryan Chappell with 3:27 remaining in the game proved to be the game winner. North Dakota struck first as Josh Murray tacked a 13-yard touchdown run to start the games scoring. The Mavericks answered with a touchdown run of its own when junior donte Shackelford ran in from seven yards out to tie the score at seven. MSU opened the second quarter with a little trickery as Shackelford tossed a touchdown to senior tight-end Jeff Fielder. The point-after-touchdown would be blocked and UND held on to a 14-13 advantage. A North Dakota field goal pushed its lead to 17-14 with 6:03 remaining in the first half before MSU senior running back Julian Phipps scampered to the endzone from two-yards out to give the Mavericks a 20-17 halftime edge. The Mavericks rattled off 14 unanswered points as sophomore Chris Nowlin caught a 29-yard strike from King. Nowlin found the endzone roughly 12 minutes later with a five-yard run to give MSU a 34-24 lead. Nowlin finished the game with nine catches for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown, while junior wideout damian Turner caught seven passes for 139 yards. Defensively, Minnesota State was led by senior free safety Mike Hinton, junior linebacker Willie davis and junior nose guard Chris Brunkhorst each totaled 10 tackles.

THE NORTH SUN INTERCOLLEgIATE CONFERENCE

Founded in 1932, the Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) has enjoyed a varied existence in the upper Midwest region it calls home. In the spring of 1992 the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) was formed out of the merger of the NIC, the men’s conference, and the women’s Northern Sun Conference (NSC). The NSC had existed since 1979. The NSIC is currently made up of institutions from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North and South Dakota. In the 2008-09 academic year, the NSIC expanded to a 14-team league with the addition of Augustana College, University of Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota State University, Mankato and St. Cloud State University. Since 1932, various institutions have competed in the NSIC. Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University Moorhead and Winona State University are charter members and have remained in the conference for the 76 years of its existence. Minnesota State University, Mankato and St. Cloud State were also charter members, but left the league in 1981 (MSU left the league in 1969 and returned in 1977). The University of Minnesota Duluth, which departed the league in 2005-06 through 2007-08 seasons, was also an original member. Other current members joined in later years: Southwest Minnesota

State University in 1969, Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (Nebraska) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota, Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006 and Augustana College in 2008. The University of Minnesota, Morris became a league member in 1966, however, the Cougars opted for the NCAA Division III ranks in 2003. Michigan Tech was part of the NIC from 1969 to 1977 as well. Before the NSIC became eligible for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship competition in 1995, its member institutions had an extremely rich tradition in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NIC’s and NSC’s tenure in the NAIA included several national championship teams and individuals as well as many national qualifiers. The NSIC has gained nat ional recognition in recent years as three teams has won National Championships. Winona State men’s basketball dynasty made three straight trips to the NCAA Division II National Championship game, winning the 2006 and 2008 games and losing the 2007 game on last second shot. During that period they won an NCAA record 57 consecutive games. Concordia University – St. Paul

garnered the first women’s title in 2007 as its women’s volleyball team won the National Championship. Since 2000, the NSIC has participated in one of two officially-sanctioned NCAA Division II football bowl games in the country. Dating back to 1948, the Mineral Water Bowl is hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs, Mo. The game matches the highest-finishing team from the NSIC not selected for the NCAA Division II playoffs against the highest-finishing team from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) not participating in the NCAA Division II playoffs. The first NSIC/MIAA meeting in 2000 marked the Mineral Water Bowl’s inaugural year of the Division II era. Winona State defeated Missouri Western State, 43-41, in triple overtime, marking the Warriors first-ever postseason win at the Division II level. The league gears up for the upcoming academic year with the annual NSIC Summer Kickoff Event the last weekend in July. The event includes the NSIC Golf Tournament, Hall of Fame Banquet, officiating clinics and meetings involving the conference leadership. The Northern Sun Showcase television program returns to the airwaves again on Fox Sports Net North. Also, the Northern Sun Spotlight radio show will air on stations throughout the Midwest for 20 weeks during 2008-09 sports season. Over the years the NSIC, comprised of schools of modest size, has provided extremely competitive intercollegiate athletic programs for its members. Although the programs are not designed to be equal to Division I athletics, many former NSIC athletes have distinguished themselves in national and international competition. Each member school emphasizes the educational, entertainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these colleges and universities. As some affiliated with the conference have coined, the NSIC quite possibly is, “the most competitive conference in NCAA Division II.”

100-Yard Rushing NotesSince 1981, MSU has had 89 players rush for 100 yards or more in a game. The longest string of consecutive 100-yard games rushing by a Maverick came in 1994 and 1995 seasons when MSU had six consecutive 100-yard rushing games. At the conclusion of the 1994 season, Eric Skow ran for 124 yards against South Dakota State (Nov. 5) and 107 yards against Nebrsaska-Omaha (Nov. 12). The streak continued into the 1995 season as Mark Erickson posted 100-yard rushing games in four straight games to open the year. Erickson ran for 103 yards against Portland State (Sept. 2), 123 against Northwest Missouri State (Sept. 9), 118 against Nebraska-Omaha (Sept. 16) and 140 against Morn-ingside (Sept. 23). There have been five occurrences in school history where two players have rushed for 100 yards or more in the same game. The last duo to do so was Sean Treasure and Cory Jones against Con-cordia-St. Paul (Sept. 24, 2004). Treasure covered 176 yards while Jones ran for 127. Only once in school history has a trio of Mavericks ran for 100 or more yards in the same game. On Oct. 4, 1986, Tony Jones, Greg von der Lippe and Dave Scofield each eclipsed the 100-yard bar-rier against North Dakota. Jones ran for 159 yards, von der Lippe 131 and Scofield 129 as MSU downed UND 43-10 in Grand Forks, N.D.

TRAVELLINg TRAININg KIT

Inaugurated in 1978, the Traveling Training Kit signifies the rivalry between the two longest-tenured Minnesota members of the North Central Conference - Minnesota State University and St. Cloud State University. The trophy features the MSU logo on a purple background on one side and the St. Cloud State logo on a red background on the other side. The winner of each year’s game takes home the coveted kit. Minnesota State and St. Cloud State started playing each other since the 1923 season, and have played at least once in every season since rekindling the rivalry in 1978 following a five-year break in the series. This season’s meeting between the two clubs, which takes place on Nov. 8 in Blakeslee Stadium, will be the 72nd time the Huskies and the Mavericks have met. SCSU leads the series by a 38-30-4 margin, and “The Kit” lays in their hands following an 18-14 victory in Blakeslee Stadium last season.

ThE LiST... In 2004, Jeff Merron of ESPN.com compiled a Top Ten list featuring the “Most Bizarre College Football Rivalry Trophy,” with The Travelling Training Kit taking home the #2 spot. Only “Ye Olde Skull” was ranked higher, which went to the winner of the Ohio Wesleyan-Wittenberg game until 1989 when it was retired. With that, The Travelling Training Kit remains the highest-ranked active trophy in the nation. Merron’s description of The Kit is listed below:

“These two small Minnesota colleges have a gridiron rivalry dating back to 1923, but they didn’t start playing for the Training Kit until 1978. The trophy, conceived, not surprisingly, by the trainers of the two schools, consists of an empty tackle box. The tackle box is female, St. Cloud Huskies guard Cory McLouden revealed before the 2002 contest. “We plan on bringing the Trainer’s Kit home with us,” he said. “We may have to put a new coat of varnish on her. She’s looking a little rough.”

The Minnesota State football program has long excelled in the academic field, with the most recent school year being no exception. Four Mavericks were named to the Academic All-North Central Conference Team last year. Defensive lineman Spencer Dickinson was one of just four Mavericks league wide to earn the award for a third straight season. Joining Dickinson on the Academic All-NCC Squad was defensive lineman Chris Brunkhorst, and linebacker Blake Freese. Dickinson’s academic accolades did not end with the league’s honor though. He was named to the ESPN The Maga-zine Academic All-District V College Division squad as and was also named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American First-Team. Last year also saw the inaugural NCC Commissioner’s Honor Roll that featured student-athletes who had spent at least two semesters at his school, car-ried at least a 3.20 grade point average and played against outside competition. Ten Mavericks made the list, including Dickinson, Brunkhorst, Freese, Oomar Balton, Ryan Cross, Jake Droessler, Andrew Schoonover, Eric Speiker-man and Ryan Weinzierl. In the 29 years that Minnesota State was affiliated with the NCC for football, 57 student-athletes have been named to the Academic All-NCC team. In addi-tion, Dickinson is just one of sixMSU student-athletes in the history of the school to be named an Academic All-American in multiple seasons by being selected for the second-team in 2005 and the first-team in 2006.

Dickinson earned First-Team All District V and Second Team All-America honors for his efforts on the field and in the classroom.

Former tight end Chad Hermsdorf was a Verizon Academic All-American Second Team selection in both 1999 and 2000, making him one of just five MSU student-athletes to be named to the squad in multiple years.

Chris Brunkhorst was named to the Academic All-NCC squad last season.


2004 turnaround • cactus bowl

Minnesota State’s 11-year run of being represented by a player in the annual Cactus Bowl all-star game played in Kingsville, Texas was halted in 2005. In 2002, the Cactus Bowl replaced the Snow Bowl that had been played in Fargo, N.D., since 1994. Quarterback Ben King and tight end Jeff Fielder became the 19th and 20th MSU player sto participate in the annual game which serves to showcase the top senior football players in NCAA Division II.

The 2004 season was without a doubt the most memorable in the recent history of the program as Minnesota State rebounded from an 0-11 mark the year before to post a 6-5 record under then first-year head coach Jeff Jamrog. The Mavericks six-game im-provement was not only easily the best single-season turnaround in school history, but tied for the fifth-best jump in NCAA Division II his-tory. MSU clinched the winning mark in the final game of the season by defeating North Central Conference champion Nebraska-Omaha by a 20-13 margin, giving the program its first winning record in a decade. Minnesota State tied a school record in 2004 with four All-Amer-icans on the roster, including offen-sive lineman Christian Harmeyer, cornerback Jordan Malone, line-backer Adam Stroik and running back/kick returner Sean Treasure.

HARLON HILL AWARD

The Harlon Hill Award is given annually to the player selected as the top performer in NCAA Division II. The award seeks to give overdue recognition to a division of college football that has produced such greats as Walter Payton, Neil Lomax, Darrell Green, John Randle and many others. The player, selected as the “best” in Division II by the sports information directors at more than 140 schools which compete in football at that particular level, will have come through both regional and national balloting to claim the award. The process begins in October when nominations from NCAA Division II SIDs are accepted. The only requirement is that the nominee must have distinguished himself as being among the top players in the game. Following the nomination process, a listing of no more than regional finalists from each of the four regions (Northwest, Southwest, Northeast and Southeast - with Minnesota State falling in the Northwest Region) is released following polling from the regional advisory committee. The players who make the regional ballots are then voted upon by the SIDs in their respective region, with each ballot calling for a ranking of the top three players on the ballot and points awarded in the following manner: three points for a first-place vote, two points for a second-place vote and one point for a third-place vote. After the regional balloting is concluded, the top two vote-getters will advance to the national ballot as finalists for the Harlon Hill Award. Again, the SIDs vote on a first, second and third

basis, only this time the ballot is issued nationwide. The top three national vote-getters receive invitations to attend the NCAA Division II Championship Game where the award winner is announced. Minnesota Sta te Univers i ty quarterback Jamie Pass, who broke or tied 19 MSU records and also established four North Central Conference marks, finished third in Harlon Hill balloting in 1993. MSU receiver Josh Nelsen, who completed his career owning 16 school marks and one NCC record, finished seventh in 1994 balloting. John Hebgen, MSU quarterback from 1993-1996, was a regional finalist for the award in 1996. Tywan Mitchell, a three-time All-America wide receiver for the Mavericks, was a regional finalist for the award in 1998. In 2004, I-back Sean Treasure was named as a regional finalist for the award in 2004 in his first season at MSU. Treasure not only became the first Minnesota State running back to be a regional finalist, but also became the first Maverick in school history to be a recognized in the Harlon Hill Award balloting prior to his senior season. Ben King was the most recent Maverick player to reach the regional ballot as he did so in 2007. In doing so, he became the third Maverick quarterback in school history to make the regional list.

Minnesota State I-back Sean Treasure was a 2004 Northwest Regional Finalist for the

Harlon Hill Award.

MAVERICKS IN THE PROFESSIONAL RANKS

Minnesota State has had three play-ers selected in the annual National Football League Draft over the course of the program’s history. The most recent player was offensive lineman Jeff Reinke, who was the Raiders tenth-round pick in 1986 and later went on to play with Cincinnati. Probably the most well-known MSU professional football player was tight end Bob Bruer, who was selected by the Houston Oilers in the ninth round of the 1975 draft. Bruer, who was released by the Oilers prior to the start of the ‘75 season, spent the ‘76 training camp with the Dallas Cowboys, was cut, and then was picked up by the Chicago Bears for the final game of the ‘76 season. He then spent two years with the Saskatchewan Roughrid-ers of the Canadian Football League before signing with the San Francisco 49ers in 1979 before joining the Minnesota Vikings in 1980. “Brue,” who compiled 85 catches, 10 touchdowns and 1,271 receiving yards in four seasons at MSU, went on to play five years with the Vikings. Defensive lineman Phil driscoll, who had sons Phillip and Kellen that also played football at MSU, was selected in the 11th round by the Miami Dolphins in 1980. Currently, two former Mavericks are currently playing professional football. Three-time All-American wideout Tywan Mitchell is on the roster of the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL after spending five seasons in the NFL, including a three-year stint with the Arizona Cardinals. Former All-American punter Ryan dutton signed as a free agent with the Seattle Seahawks in the offseason as well.

Minnesota State University has served as the summer home of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings since 1966. The Vikings players, coaches and administrative staff move lock, stock and barrel to Mankato every July and August, where their per-manent addresses for the next four weeks become Gage Dormitory, Taylor Center, Myers Field House and Blakeslee Stadium and practice facilities.

The Vikings officially begin their 2008 training camp on Friday, July 25. The team has sched-uled two evening practices on July 26 and August 2, both of which begin at 7 p.m. Besides that events, the Vikings will give the Blakeslee

practice fields twice-daily workouts, and are scheduled to break camp on August 15th.

The 2008 season will be the eighth of a broadcasting partnership between MSU athletics and Minnesota Valley Broadcasting, Co. The agreement calls for MVBC to air Maverick football and men’s hockey. MVBC’s properties in the greater Mankato area include KDOG (96.7 FM), KTOE (1420 AM) and KXAC (100.5 FM), with games this year shifting to KTOE. Returning to call the play-by-play for the Mavericks are veteran sports broadcasters Mike Sullivan and Casey lloyd. Sullivan joined MVBC in the fall of 2000 and quickly immersed himself as a prominent voice in MSU athletics. In the spring of 2005, Sullivan was selected as the inaugural recipient of the Minnesota News Network Play-By-Play Announcer of the Year. In addition to the “MSU Minute” heard daily on KDOG, KXAC and KRRW, Sullivan also calls play-by-play for men’s hockey . Prior to his time with MVBC, Sullivan spent 18 years at KATE radio in Albert Lea, Minn., as sports
