John Wristen, a former all-conference quarterback at Colorado State Univer-sity-Pueblo, enters his third season as the ThunderWolves head football coach.

Facing the momumental task of forging a football program from the ground up when he accepted the job in July 2007, Wristen has answered the call, leading the Pack to a 4-6 record in 2008, the fourth best record in nCaa division II history for a startup pro-gram in its first season of competition.

He upped the ante with a 7-4 record in 2009, including a big road win over defending-rMaC Champion, Chadron State, and halting the eagles’ 28-game rMaC winning streak. The seven wins marks the third-most wins in nCaa di-vision II history for a startup program in its second season.

The ThunderWolves’ 11-10 mark over its first two seasons of competi-tion is also the third-best record among nCaa division II startup programs.

Wristen returned to Pueblo after coaching the previous 17 years in the

nCaa division I ranks at the University of Colorado, northwestern University, and, most recently, UCLa. He was cho-sen from an application pool of more than 100 football coaches.

during the 2006 season, Wristen served as the special teams and tight ends coach at UCLa. He coached all-american tight end Justin Medlock and worked closely with the offensive coordinator in play calling.

Prior to UCLa, he served his second of two stints at CU from 1999-2006. He helped guide the Buffaloes to four Big 12 north division Championships and the 2001 Big 12 Title. He coached the tight ends, kickoff and punt teams, and was given the additional responsibil-ity of recruiting coordinator in 2003. He coached three all-americans and helped develop and implement the West Coast offense at CU.

From 1991-1999, Wristen served as the running back, kickoff return and punt team coach at northwestern Uni-versity. The Wildcats won back-to-back Big 10 Titles in 1995 and 1996 during Wristen’s tenure, and he coached Heisman Trophy finalist darnell autry. northwestern, who played in the rose Bowl for the first time since 1949 dur-ing Wristen’s time, received the 1997 nCaa Graduation award for graduat-ing 100 percent of its undergraduate student-athletes.

Wristen’s career in division I football started in 1990 as a graduate assistant at CU, working with the quarterbacks and running backs and helping the Buf-faloes to the 1990 national Champion-ship.

He also served as the offensive coordinator at Fort Lewis College, head football and girls basketball coach at rocky Ford (Colo.) High School, and assistant football coach at Weslaco (Texas) High School.

As the starting quarterback at then-University of Southern Colorado, Wristen was an honorable mention all-american quarterback, guiding USC to its only naIa national Playoff appearance in 1983. He graduated as USC’s all-time leader in passing yards

(3,283) and touchdown passes (26). In 1982, Wristen led the naIa in pass-ing efficiency with a 182.5 rating as a junior.

after graduating with an education degree, Wristen signed a free agent contract with the denver Broncos. af-ter being released from the Broncos, he worked toward a Master of arts degree from adams State College, which he received in 1988.

He is the father of three children: Jovanna, C.T. and Bailey.

2010 SIGNING CLASSThe third recruiting class by the John Wristen-led CSU-

Pueblo football squad was nearly 50 athletes strong, and could be regarded as the best signing class thus far by the current coaching regime.

CSU-Pueblo was able to go off the playbook for its first two recruiting classes (2008 and 2009), which called opting for quantity over quality since the program was simply trying to fill the roster with capable athletes. The 2010 class was the first where the team could recruit to fill holes on the roster, and as a result, getting several Division I-caliber athletes as well.

The 2010 was class was still large – consisting of nearly 50 new student-athletes – but nowhere near the 60- to 80-athlete classes that were the norm in 2008 and 2009.

The main focus of 2010 was undoubtedly the quarterback position. With only three quarterbacks returning in 2010, and the most senior of them, Troy Graham, having only thrown three passes, the ThunderWolves looked to pack the roster with newcomers. The Pack added capable junior college quar-terback Ross Dausin (Butler County CC, KS), as well as a pair of highly-touted late transfers. University of San Diego stand-out and one-time member of the Walter Payton Award Watch List, Sebastian Trujillo (San Diego), and former University of Colorado starter, Bernard Jackson (Colorado), come to CSU-Pueblo for their senior seasons, making the quarterback battle one of the team’s most interesting competitions.

The receiving corps, dealing with the loss of its two 2009 starters, received an upgrade with 12 new signees, led by one of the top receivers in Pueblo high school history, Josh San-doval (Pueblo East, CO HS), and a Division I-caliber receiver in Deontrae Cooper (Citrus Hills, CA HS), who shows some of the same pop as his twin brother, Deontae, a blue-chipper who signed with Washington State. D-I prospect and late signee Armoni Brewington (Bear Creek, CO HS) joined the ThunderWolves after signing with Division I Northern Colo-rado.

After losing three starters from the defensive front seven, another big focus was placed on the defensive line and line-backers, where the Pack added perhaps its biggest signees. Heading the list was Beau Martin (Mullen, CO HS), who turned down offers from Division I suitors, Northern Colo-rado and Air Force, to come to CSU-Pueblo. Other big signees included Los Angeles product Earl Love (Panorama, CA HS) at linebacker and former Colorado state wrestling champion, Isaiah Churchwell (Burlington, CO HS).

The biggest immediate impact, however, may be made by this class’ defensive backs. Though CSU-Pueblo returns all four 2009 starters from the unit that led the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in interceptions, 2010 will bring impact freshmen in the form of three Division I-caliber adds: Blake Johnson (Olympic, WA HS), Jarrod Lacy (Santaluces, FL HS) and C.J. Roberts (Santaluces, FL HS), the latter two of which were high school teammates in Florida.

2010 SEASON PREVIEWOFFENSE

After having a downright anemic offense in 2008, the entire Thunder-Wolf offensive unit made a drastic improvement in 2009, coming within a hair of busting school re-cords for total yardage and boasting the the 14th-best rushing attack in the country.

The makeup of that rushing at-tack – five offensive linemen and the offensive backfield, save the quarter-back position – are all returning for 2010.

QUARTERBACKIn 2010, the Pack will have its third

different starting quarterback in three seasons. However, this sea-son’s quarterbacks are undoubtedly the most talented group the team has had.

Though a starter has not yet been determined, the favorite to win the job is Bernard Jackson (6’0”, 200, Sr.-TR). Jackson, a one-time starter at the University of Colorado in 2006, will bring his Big XII experi-ence to the ThunderWolves, where

he has one year of eligibility re-maining. Sebastian Trujillo (6’3”, 222, Sr.-TR) is another elite senior transfer with Division I experience. At Division I University of San Diego, he entered his senior season on the watch list for the Walter Pay-ton Award, given the top offensive player in the Football Champion-ship Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-AA). In 2008, Trujillo tossed 35 touchdown passes and over 2,800 yards, but had to cut his senior season short in 2009, when he couldn’t afford tuition at San Diego, which does not give athletic scholarships. The NCAA ruled that Trujillo was a special case, granting him an extra season of competition at CSU-Pueblo.

Not to be overlooked is Ross Dausin (6’5”, 200, RSo.-JC), who was on the Butler County (Kan.) Commu-nity College team that won the 2008 NJCAA championship and made the national playoffs again in 2009. Also in the mix is last year’s backup, Troy Graham (6’5”, 230, RSo.-1L).

RUNNING BACKThere are absolutely no question

marks at the running back position, as 2009 all-conference tailbacks Jesse Lewis (5’6”, 173, Jr.-2L) and Jamaal Johnson (5’9”, 180, Jr.-2L) each return in 2010. Lewis and Johnson combined for nearly 2,000 rushing yards in 2009, making them the fifth-best tailback combina-tion in the nation. Lewis earned first-team all-RMAC, gaining 1,064 yards on the ground last season, the third-highest single-season mark in CSU-Pueblo history. Johnson ran for 906 yards, averaging an even 7.0 yards per carry.

Also in the mix to spell Lewis and Johnson is Marquise Enoch (5’9”, 175, Sr.-1L), who ran as effectively as Lewis and Johnson in spring drills.

The trio will likely run out of the tailback-heavy “ThunderWolf” formation, the Pack’s homage to the “wildcat.” When in a more tradi-tional set, the likely fullback will be Giovanni Rider (6’1”, 220, RSo.-1L).

2010 SEASON PREVIEWWIDE RECEIVER

The thinnest position on the roster is the receiver position, where newcomers will be plentiful. The unit will have just one returner who saw any notable time last season in junior Da’Quan Cartwright (6’1”, 205, Jr.-2L), who figures to be in the running for a starting job in 2010.

The top Pack receiver going into 2010 will be Northern Colorado transfer Derek Gainey (6’1”, 180, Sr.-TR). Gainey played one season at UNC, primarily as a kick returner, but was the top receiver during spring drills and can be a surprise one-shot player for the Pack. In spring ball, he was named the team’s top receiver.

Also expected to make an impact are Kansas junior college transfers Jared Sperber (6’3”, 195, Jr.-JC) from Garden City Community College and Jonathan Owens (6’2”, 180, Jr.-JC), who played alongside Pack quarter-back Dausin at Butler County Com-munity College. Each showed good chemistry with the quarterbacks in spring drills.

TIGHT ENDCSU-Pueblo will have a stable of

returners at the tight end position, each of which have the potential to turn into great pass-catching tight ends.

Leading the pack coming into 2010 is Tyler Hamlin (6’2”, 215, RSo.-1L), who moved from linebacker to tight end last season and immediately showed the ability to both block and cut into coverage for long passes.

Also in the mix is Roger Pfann-enschmid (6’3”, 225, RSo.-1L), who was pencilled in as the starter to begin the season before an injury ended his campaign. Koby Wittek (6’3”, 224, Jr.-2L) and a highly-touted signee in 2009, Josh Bredl (6’6, 225, RFr.-RS) will also make strong bids for playing time.

OFFENSIVE LINEGoing in to 2009, no position on

the ThunderWolves was a bigger question mark than the offensive line. Coming into 2010, the Pack line is undoubtedly one of the team’s strengths.

The team’s starting five down the stretch were all freshmen, and all return for 2010.

The anchors will be all-Colorado guard, J.T. Haddan (6’2”, 265, RSo.-1L) and tackle Drew Swartz (6’4”, 280, So.-1L), who were on the line for every snap in 2009. The small but powerful Jonathan Jones (5’8, 225, So.-1L) has perhaps the most raw talent of any lineman, and will be the team’s center in 2010. Also returning are guard R.J. Trione (5’11”, 240, RSo.-1L) and tackle Ryan Jensen (6’3”, 230, So.-1L).

The quintet combined to usher in a rebirth of the Pack’s running game, which ran for over 2,000 yards in 2009.

2010 SEASON PREVIEWDEFENSE

Focus will be on the Pack’s de-fensive unit, as arguably the team’s three most explosive players – defensive lineman Jerry McWilliams and linebackers Chase Vaughn and Sedric Patterson – all depart via graduation. However, the Thun-derWolves’ defense, a top-35 unit nationally in 2009, is still in good hands

DEFENSIVE LINEThe Pack’s three-man line will have

great experience in 2010, as the team’s projected starters on the line each have experience as a starter.

The line will be anchored on each side by the RMAC’s Freshman of the Year in 2008, Grant Jansen (6’2”, 225, Jr.-2L). Jansen has a burst on the line –he boasts 8.5 career sacks to his credit.

The middle will be held down by Garrett Martin-Proctor (6’3”, 260, RJr.-2L) with big-play lineman Justin Herrera (6’3”, 205, RSo.-1L) ex-pected to be in the rotation, as well. Herrera led the RMAC in fumble recoveries in 2009.

LINEBACKERSSpeed will be the order of the day

for Pack linebackers, and nobody will bring the heat like inside linebacker, Lee Meisner (6’0”, 225, Jr.-2L). A third-team all-RMAC selection a year ago and the Pack’s leading tackler in 2009, Meisner is a legitimate All-American candidate as well as the team’s biggest hitter in the open field. Manning the other inside backer position is Damon

Schiele (6’0”, 220, RSo.-1L), a one-time project player for the Pack that has turned in to one of the defense’s top players.

Beldy Nseka (6’0”, 205, RSo.-1L) was a special teams ace during his freshman season, and will bring his pop to the outside backer position. Nseka has the potential to be a sur-prise impact player in 2010. Joining him is Jason Campbell (6’1”, 225, RSo.-1L), another speedy backer who excels at pass coverage and open-field tackling.

DEFENSIVE BACKSCSU-Pueblo returns all four start-

ers from 2009, but that doesn’t mean that any job is safe in the defensive backfield, as truckloads of raw talent come in via the freshman class.

The cornerback position is solid under All-RMAC selection Chris Brown (5’9”, 168, Sr.-2L), the team leader in interceptions as well as tackles among defensive backs in 2009. Also returning is Grant Crunkleton (5’10”, 187, Sr.-1L), a transfer from Arizona State a year ago who has great speed and can knock down balls with the best of them.

The safety positions are held down by two-year starter Jon Bailey (5’11”, 170, Jr.-2L) and Josh Costa (5’8”, 190, RSo.-1L). Bailey has a nose for the loose ball and while Costa is a prototypical strong safety, packing a wallop to opposing receiv-ers wishing to go over the middle.

Aaron Hernandez (5’9”, 185, RJr.-2L) has starting ability and is likely the top nickel back in the RMAC.

Freshman C.J. Roberts (6’0”, 180, Fr.-HS) is the headliner of a crop of freshmen that could have the ability to knock any of the Pack’s capable four starters off their perch.

SPECIAL TEAMSFor the first time, two-year Pack

kicker Kyle Major (6’3”, 230, Jr.-2L) will be allowed to chiefly focus on placekicking duties in 2010. Major, who has the ability to nail 50-yard field goals, has had to be the team’s punter in 2008 and 2009, a job he will likely give up to Brandon Kl-iesen (6’0”, 220, RFr.-RS). Kliesen’s foot is as big as Major’s, but he has a bigger upside as a punter. Both have the ability to put up All-American seasons in the thin air environment in the RMAC.

The return game is also in good hands as Grant Crunkleton (5’10”, 187, Sr.-1L) will likely resume punt return duties after a standout 2009 where he averaged over 12 yards per return.

The kickoff return job in 2010 is still up for grabs, and has big shoes to fill after graduating senior Augus-tine Agyei broke single season kick return records in 2009. A favorite for the job is wide receiver Derek Gainey (6’1”, 180, Sr.-TR), who re-turned kicks at Northern Colorado.

ThunderWolves use offense, timely stops to win season-opener

PUEBLO, Colo. – Lightning delays. Power outages. An NCAA record for pass attempts by the opposing quarterback. It’s all good for CSU-Pueblo, because on a night of ut-ter weirdness, the Pack emerged victorious, winning 28-23 over Eastern New Mexico.

In a four hour, 13 minute marathon of a game, complete with a lightning/rain delay of an hour and 45 minutes and a campus-wide power outage five minutes before kickoff, CSU-Pueblo did something it hadn’t done in its short history after restarting its program in 2008 - win a shootout.

Both teams combined for 917 yards, with the Pack’s 402 yards its highest offensive output since the program returned to com-petition. The bulk of the Pack offense came from a running game as Jamaal Johnson (So., Fountain, Colo.), a cornerback in 2008 who switched to tailback, his high school position, this season, rumbled for 145 yards on 15 carries, including a 59-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, which put the Pack up by a 20-7 advantage at that point.

Pack quarterback Colin Clancy (Sr., Longmont, Colo.) shined in his first start for the ThunderWolves, going a healthy 18-

for-31 for 175 yards and two touchdowns, both of which went to Augustine Agyei (Sr., Aurora, Colo.), whose only two pass recep-tions went for scores, netting 67 yards on the night. All told, Agyei accumulated 172 all purpose yards, which included 105 on kickoff returns.

But the Pack defense emerged as the star, albeit on a night where they gave up a total of 515 yards. Eastern New Mexico quar-terback J.J. Harp’s wild night - 45-for-78 for 513 yards, three touchdowns and five inter-ceptions - set numerous records, including a mark for most pass attempts in a game, but the Pack employed a bend-but-don’t-break defense that kept the Greyhounds largely in check. The Pack defense only allowed a grand total of two rushing yards by Eastern New Mexico, and made three huge stops in fourth down situations, but it was a stop that didn’t show up in the box score that was the most important.

In a 2-and-3 from the CSU-Pueblo 18-yard-line with eight seconds remaining, Chase Vaughn (Sr., Aurora, Colo.) and Da-mon Schiele (RFr., Aurora, Colo.) sacked Harp on the game’s final play, halting an Eastern New Mexico comeback attempt in a 28-23 ball game.

The Greyhounds’ comeback attempt came after play resumed following the delay, which took place with 4 minutes remaining in the third quarter and CSU-Pueblo leading 28-16. Eastern New Mexico added a touch-down to make the game a one-score affair, but the Pack defense was able to make the stop when it counted.

“It wasn’t pretty and it was close at the end, but we won the game and that’s all that matters,” CSU-Pueblo head coach John Wristen said. “I couldn’t be prouder of our guys and the performance they put in. It was a crazy night and our guys played a heck of a game.”

CSU-Pueblo’s win puts them in an early three-way tie atop the RMAC standings with Chadron State and Fort Lewis.

Pack comes up short on road against naia powerhouse

alVa, okla. – Despite a late rally, the Thun-derWolves couldn’t keep up with a strong offensive attack by Northwestern Oklahoma State Saturday, losing 34-28.

The Pack opened up the game with a 70-yard TD run by Jamaal Johnson (So., Fountain, Colo.) up the gut on the first play from scrimmage, building a quick 7-0 lead. But the play led to a false sense of security, which the Rangers took full advantage of.

Northwest Oklahoma State responded with an eight-play, 66-yard drive, culminating in a one-yard touchdown burst by fullback Clayton Smith, which tied the game 7-7.

The Rangers’ next scoring drive was thwarted by an interception in the end zone by Chris Brown (Jr., Aurora, Colo.), but the Pack was unable to take advantage of huge defensive play. After failing to gain a

first down, the Rangers’ NAIA All-American linebacker, Lantz Mathers, blocked a punt and recovered the ball in the end zone, giv-ing the Rangers a 14-7 lead and launching the Pack into a tail spin.

The ThunderWolves’ offense only man-aged six first downs through the first three quarters, while the Rangers tacked on two more touchdowns running a very sneaky running attack out of the spread formation. After three frames, the Rangers held a 27-7 lead.

In the fourth quarter, the ThunderWolves circled the wagons and gave their all in a near-epic comeback. The offense changed to a pass-first attack behind quarterback Colin Clancy (Sr., Longmont, Colo.), who logged an entire game’s worth of yardage in the fourth quarter alone, going 11-for-18 for 257 yards and three touchdowns. Two of the scores went to Augustine Agyei (Sr., Aurora, Colo.), and the third went on a pret-ty screen pass turned touchdown to tailback Jesse Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.), who took a 96-yard TD to the house.

Clancy’s 309 passing yards set a new CSU-Pueblo single game record.

But the Pack’s 21 fourth quarter points, also a school record for fourth quarter out-put, were undone by a pair of touchdowns by Northwest Oklahoma in the quarter. Quarterback Kyle Jech ran two quarterback keepers for long scores, part of 285 rushing yards by the Rangers.

The 34-28 loss marks the first of the young season by the Pack, though the Thunder-Wolves still hold a tie for first place in the RMAC two weeks into the young season.

pack claims first shutout since 1982 with 38-0 trouncing

PUEBLO, Colo. – The ThunderWolves posted their first shutout in 27 years Saturday night when a strong rushing game ushered in a 38-0 trouncing of the visiting Fort Lewis Skyhawks.

The Pack piled on 278 rushing yards, its highest single game team rushing to-tal since the program returned in 2008, as Jesse Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.) and Marquise Enoch (Jr., Denver, Colo.) each knocked on the door of 100 yards rushing invidually as both attained career highs. CSU-Pueblo rushers logged a total of five touchdown runs from five different players.

Many of Lewis’ 93 yards rushing came on one 54-yard jaunt to the end zone in the first quarter, which gave the Pack a 14-0 second quarter lead. The Pack drew first blood when quarterback Colin Clancy (Sr., Longmont,

Colo.) ran a quarterback sneak into the end zone following a muffed punt attempt by the Skyhawks, one of three fumbled punts by the visiting team in the game.

While the offense hummed the defense shut the Skyhawks down. Fort Lewis man-aged just 38 rushing yards on 32 attempts, and Skyhawk passers only gained 77 yards through the air.

Clancy wasn’t forced to throw much, going a conservative 13-for-21 for 90 yards. He tossed no interceptions.

The Pack’s shutout marked its first since 1982, when a John Wristen-led USC Indian team beat Western New Mexico 50-0.

The Pack’s win is a good start in RMAC play, as CSU-Pueblo shares first place in the RMAC with a 1-0 conference record and 2-1 overall. The Pack will be tied with Chad-ron State (2-1, 1-0 RMAC) and Nebraska-Kearney (2-1, 1-0 RMAC).

The ThunderWolves will battle Chadron State in Chadron next Saturday at noon for the prize of first place in the conference.

Pack comes up short on road against naia powerhouse

chadron, neb. – You might call it the shot heard ‘round the world, at least in terms of the RMAC football world, as CSU-Pueblo did something no RMAC team has done since 2005 - go on the road to Chadron State, the three-time defending RMAC champion, and earn a win, knocking off the confer-ence lynchpin 28-17.

Not bad for a football program in just its second year of competition.

It was just one year ago that Chadron State entered CSU-Pueblo’s Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl and treated the Pack like its personal ragdoll, routing the ThunderWolves 32-0 and up-setting the Pack’s then 2-0 start.

Saturday, the Pack defense held the Eagles to just 283 yards of total offense, forcing three turn-overs and converting four touchdowns of 35 yards or more to stun the Eagles on their home turf. Not since Oct. 14, 2005, when Nebraska-Kearney scored a 20-14 win - a span of 28 games - have the Eagles lost an RMAC game. Their last home RMAC loss came earlier that year in a 27-26 loss to the Colorado School of Mines. The Pack’s 28-17 win also marks the largest margin of loss for the Eagles in RMAC play since 2002, when Kearney defeated Chadron State 12-0.

As late as the third quarter, CSU-Pueblo seemed to have little chance at knocking off the Eagles. A fumbled snap at the Pack three-yard line was recov-ered by Chadron State in the end zone, as Chad-

ron’s slim 10-7 halftime lead quickly turned into a 17-7 lead with 7:44 remaining in third quarter.

But the Pack showed a great deal of maturity in handling the untimely score. Starting the ensuing drive on their own 6-yard-line, the Pack quickly picked up 20 yards in two plays, then hit paydirt as quarterback Colin Clancy (Sr., Longmont, Colo.) found Demetrius Gilmore (So., Colorado Springs, Colo.) for a 68-yard touchdown strike, and suddenly, the Pack was trailing by just three, 17-14, with 6:47 remaining in the 3rd quarter and momentum squarely in the Pack’s hands.

After forcing a punt on the next possession, CSU-Pueblo embarked on an epic drive that pulled the carpet out from under Chadron State. The Pack mounted a 13-play, 84-yard drive that culminated in an amazing touchdown pass - wide receiver Ay-rius Justin (Sr., Inglewood, Calif.) took a direct snap from center, and threw a 37-yard touchdown strike to Augustine Agyei (Sr., Aurora, Colo.), his second touchdown grab of the day, as the Thun-derWolves took a 21-17 lead with 11:32 remaining in the game.

At that point, the ThunderWolves expected a dog fight, but were able to maintain momentum. Just three plays into Chadron State’s ensuing drive, Lee Meisner (So., Sterling, Colo.) picked off a Nate Peterson pass at midfield, giving the Pack offense another chance to score.

The ThunderWolves did just that, undertaking a 7-play, 56-yard drive, finished by tailback Jes-se Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.), who turned a screen pass into a 44-yard touchdown rumble, and the ThunderWolves had a two-score lead with 5:59 remaining in the game.

With the 11-point lead, it was the defense that sealed the game. On the Eagles’ next possession, Peterson immediately tossed an interception to Ja-son Campbell (RFr., Kailua, Hawaii), setting up a time-killing 9-play, 10-yard drive, complete with a roughing the kicker call by Chadron State on a CSU-Pueblo punt attempt, that left the Eagles with little options for a comeback.

In a two-minute drill offense, Chadron State drove to the CSU-Pueblo three-yard line, but had any dreams of a comeback dashed when Josh Mack (Jr., Pueblo, Colo.) sacked Peterson on 4th-and-goal, ushering in the Pack’s victory formation.

From day one, CSU-Pueblo head coach John

Wristen established one of the top team goals as beating Chadron State. To do it in just their second meeting with the Eagles was nothing short of amazing, and Wristen said that the players and coaches in the program have always envisioned that this day would come.

“I told our team that we needed to dream it, needed to believe it, then we would see it,” Wristen said about beating Chadron. “Our character stood up today. Our kids and coaching staff laid it on the line, and what a great win. I couldn’t be prouder of this team. We hung together and getting the win is pretty darn sweet.”

Suddenly, CSU-Pueblo is a legitimate first-place team in the RMAC, tied with Nebraska-Kearney with a 3-1 record overall and 2-0 in RMAC play. Four teams in the RMAC have a 2-0 mark after Saturday’s slate of play, and one of those teams, Colorado School of Mines, heads to the ThunderBowl next Saturday.

thunderwolves fall back to earth with 31-7 loss to Mines

PUEBLO, Colo. – CSU-Pueblo suffered a letdown Saturday when Colorado School of Mines dashed any memories of the Pack’s big win last week over Chadron State, downing the ThunderWolves 31-7.

The loss drops the ThunderWolves to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in RMAC play, while Mines jumps up to 3-2 overall and 3-0 in RMAC play.

One of the main keys of the game was the Ore-diggers’ control of the line of scrimmage, giving quarterback David Pesek large amounts of time to throw, resulting in 327 passing yards by the Mines offense.

The ThunderWolves, meanwhile, had trouble getting started on offense, sputtering to just 196 total offensive yards. Colin Clancy (Sr., Long-mont, Colo.) was pressured all day, going 12-for-34 with two interceptions and no touchdowns. He ran in the Pack’s lone score in the fourth quarter.

The defense made some big plays but couldn’t

get the Orediggers off the field when it counted. Despite a fourth interception by Chris Brown (Jr., Aurora, Colo.) and a career-high 12 tackles by Lee Meisner (So., Sterling, Colo.), the short and

medium range pass came up aces for Orediggers. That was most evident by tailback Jahre Cheeseman, a transfer from Virginia Tech who scored three TDs for Mines, including two on screen passes near the goal line.

The Pack will look to slough off this loss and rebound against arguably the toughest team in the RMAC, Nebraska-Kearney, which the Pack will take on next Saturday.

long pass plays burn ThunderWolves in tough loss

kearney, neb. – A game that was shaping up to be a defensive battle exploded into a Nebraska-Kearney route Saturday as the Lopers defeated the ThunderWolves 44-12.

CSU-Pueblo gave up four touchdown passes of 60 yards or more, and saw an-other score come from a big play on the Lopers’ fumble recovery for a touchdown in the third quarter.

At one point, the game was a defensive battle at just 6-3 in favor of the Thunder-Wolves. Even after Kearney broke through with a 69-yard touchdown from quarterback Jake Spitzelberger to Brandon Liess and a field goal, the ThunderWolves just trailed 13-6. But another long touchdown throw – a 71-yarder from Spitzelberger to Tyler Hilton – right before halftime seemed to break the Pack’s backs.

Meanwhile, CSU-Pueblo netted just one long passing a play, a too-little, too-late screen pass for a 70-yard score to tailback Jesse Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.), record-ing 150 yards through the air. The Thunder-Wolves had much more luck on the ground, netting 170 yards rushing, the second-highest total the stingy Lopers’ defense has allowed on the ground in 2009. Lewis was the flashpoint of the attack, recording 131 total yards.

The loss drops the Pack to 3-3 in 2009 and 2-2 in RMAC play. The Lopers, mean-while, are in the driver seat in the RMAC, boasting an RMAC best 5-1 record through six games and 4-0 mark in RMAC play.

CSU-Pueblo will return home next Satur-day when it hosts the Mesa State Mavericks at 6 p.m.

frigid game breaks for visiting Mesa state

PUEBLO, Colo. – The Pack was within shoot-ing distance in the 4th quarter vs. Mesa State, but couldn’t convert a game-tying drive late in the game, falling to the Mav-ericks 21-13.

A would-be game-tying touchdown came with 2:50 remaining in the fourth quarter when Colin Clancy (Sr., Longmont, Colo.) fired a strike to Demetrius Gilmore (So., Colorado Springs, Colo.) on fourth down, only to have the play nullified due to Clancy being beyond the line of scrimmage. The result was a turnover on downs.

The Pack got another opportunity after they regained possession with 2:05 re-maining, but Clancy threw an interception to Adam Silverthorn, ending the Pack’s dreams of a rally.

The game was defined by Mesa State’s control of the line of scrimmage. The Mav-ericks accumulated 196 rushing yards, 138 coming from tailback Will Halboth, while protecting quarterback Michael Mankoff well, not allowing a single sack to the Thun-derWolves.

The Pack was no slouch in the running game, either, rumbling for 155 rushing yards as both Jesse Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.) and Johnny Wood (So., Canon City, Colo.) each turned in career highs in rushing yardage. Lewis had his first 100-yard game, gaining 106 yards on 14 carries, while Wood ran the ball nine times for 42 yards.

The ThunderWolves’ loss marks their third in as many games, and dips their re-cord to 3-4 overall and 2-3 in RMAC play. CSU-Pueblo will travel to winless New Mex-ico Highlands next weekend to take on the Cowboys.

ThunderWolves get reprieve with victory over winless highlands

las Vegas, n.M. – Behind big games by tailback Jamaal Johnson (So., Fountain, Colo.) and receiver Augustine Agyei (Sr., Aurora, Colo.), CSU-Pueblo ended a three-game skid by cruising to a 35-7 win over New Mexhico Highlands Saturday.

The game started off with a bang as Agyei returned a kickoff 96 yards to the house, converting the first kickoff return for a touchdown for the first time since 1984, giving CSU-Pueblo a 7-0 lead. Agyei ac-cumulated 136 kickoff return yards, putting his 2009 total to 653 kickoff return yards and setting a CSU-Pueblo school record. In ad-dition to his kick return touchdown, Agyei also scored on a touchdown reception in the first quarter.

The ThunderWolves relied on a running game to establish tempo and maintain con-

trol of the game. Johnson ran for 131 yards and two touchdowns as the ThunderWolves logged 269 yards on the ground. Jesse Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.) ran for 102 yards, his second straight 100-yard game.

Defensively, the Pack was absolutely dom-inant, allowing a grand total of zero yards on the ground to the Cowboys and holding the Highlands passing game to nine com-pletions for 153 yards. The Pack defense logged six sacks, led by Jerry McWilliams (Sr., Fountain, Colo.), who had two sacks.

Quarterback Colin Clancy (Sr., Long-mont, Colo.), who had struggled of late, en-joyed a much-needed efficient game, com-pleting 11 of 18 passes for 129 yards, two scores and no interceptions, relying largely on the running attack to carry the game. On the season, Clancy has completed 119 passes, which is a new CSU-Pueblo single season record for pass completions. He has also passed for 1,386 yards, currently the fourth-highest single season passing yard-age total in CSU-Pueblo history.

The Pack will look to mount a winning streak next Saturday when it hosts Western State at CSU-Pueblo’s Homecoming. Kick-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Pack running game tees off for homecoming win

PUEBLO, Colo. – Behind a season-high 328 rushing yards, CSU-Pueblo ran all over Western State in the Pack’s homecoming game Saturday, downing the Mountaineers 38-27.

CSU-Pueblo used the “ThunderWolf” for-mation, popularly known as the “Wildcat,” countless times to offset Western State’s front seven, setting highs in rushing carries and rushing yardage. Jesse Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.) was the centerpiece, tak-ing numerous snaps from center and rush-ing 24 times for 181 yards and three touch-downs - all career highs. Lewis’ backfield mate, Jamaal Johnson (So., Fountain, Colo.), rumbled for 99 yards on 17 carries, and added a touchdown of his own.

The ThunderWolves jumped ahead 10-0 in the first quarter, its first TD coming on a

34-yard scamper from Lewis. After Western State scored to make the advantage 10-7, the Pack registered its lone passing touch-down, a pretty individual effort by Demetri-us Gilmore (So., Colorado Springs, Colo.) to catch a Colin Clancy (Sr., Longmont, Colo.) pass, hurdling a would-be defender and lunging for a score on a 35-yard pass reception. The score put the Pack up 17-7.

CSU-Pueblo added a game-changer late in the second quarter, a one-yard touch-down run by Johnson with 28 seconds re-maining, which capped a 12-play, 70-yard drive that put the ThunderWolves up 24-14 going into halftime.

A third-quarter score by Lewis on an 11-yard run put the Pack up 31-14, and left Western to only plot a fruitless comeback attempt as the ThunderWolves secured the win.

The win boosts the Pack to 5-4 on the season and 4-3 in RMAC play, tied with Chadron State and Adams State for fourth place in the RMAC standings. CSU-Pueblo will return to the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl next Saturday when it hosts Western New Mexico in the Pack’s Hall of Fame Game.

thunderwolves halt Mustangs’ high-octane offense in 48-3 win.

PUEBLO, Colo. – In front of newly-enshrined CSU-Pueblo Hall of Famers during Satur-day’s Hall of Fame Game vs. Western New Mexico, CSU-Pueblo’s offense went off on Western New Mexico, posting a school-re-cord 620 yards of total offense, 435 on the ground, as the Pack scored a nearly-perfect 48-3 victory over the Mustangs.

Tailback Jesse Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.) turned in his fourth-straight 100-yard game with a career-high 233 yards, roaring for three touchdowns in leading the Thun-derWolves’ rushing attack. Backfield-mate Jamaal Johnson (So., Fountain, Colo.) ran for a career-high of his own, going for 164 yards on 16 carries for two touch-downs.

Quarterback Colin Clancy (Sr., Long-mont, Colo.) was stellar, going 13-for-17

for 147 yards and two touchdowns. He eclipsed coach John Wristen’s single-sea-son total yardage record of 1,761, and did it on a pass play out of the “ThunderWolf” formation, as Johnson hit Clancy down the sideline for a 38-yard pass play. He also tied a school record for touchdown passes, held by Bart Stevens, with his 13th and 14th touchdown tosses of the season.

But as stellar as the Pack was offensively, it was just as much so defensively. Facing a Western New Mexico offense boasting 33.9 points per game, 24th-highest in the na-tion, CSU-Pueblo held the Mustangs to just three points and 244 yards of total offense, the second-lowest offensive showing of the season by the Mustangs. During the team’s “Senior Day,” Chase Vaughn (Sr., Aurora, Colo.) teed off in his final home game, col-lecting eight tackles, 2-1/2 tackles for loss, one sack, a forced fumble and three quar-terback hurries.

CSU-Pueblo’s win clinches a winning sea-son for the Pack, the first since 1983, as they improve to 6-4 facing their final game of the season next week at Adams State.

Pack closes season on high note with rout of Adams State

alaMosa, colo. – Chase Vaughn (Sr., Aurora, Colo.) is happy he chose to transfer to CSU-Pueblo.

The former Adams State defensive end, now an all-American linebacker with the ThunderWolves, got to end his collegiate career with a bang Satur-day, earning a measure of vengeance against his former mates as CSU-Pueblo downed the Griz-zlies 41-7 in the finale of the 2009 season.

Vaughn logged seven tackles, and as a final jab, scored two touchdowns, both on one-yard touchdowns runs as the halfback, as the Pack earned its fourth straight win and ended its cam-paign an encouraging 7-4 in just its second sea-son as a program.

The ThunderWolves’ rout of the Grizzlies in this RMAC grudge match turned into a laugher in the second quarter. After the Pack used its “Wildcat” formation to perfection to set up Vaughn’s first score following a 67-yard halfback pass from Ja-maal Johnson (So., Fountain, Colo.) to Ayrius Justin (Sr., Inglewood, Calif.), Adams State evened the score on a 52-yard scoring drive as

back Stephen Baca ran the ball in for a 4-yard score.

The Grizzlies’ score simply set up the Pack to score 34 unanswered en route to the win.

The Pack’s running game remained hot, con-verting a 55-yard drive in the second quarter on a 10-yard touchdown burst by Jesse Lewis (So., Loveland, Colo.). After forcing an Adams State punt, the Pack ran eight consecutive times to con-vert a 65-yard scoring drive, leading to a one-yard quarterback sneak by Colin Clancy (Sr., Long-mont, Colo.), giving the Pack a 21-7 lead.

The Pack piled it on in the third quarter, forc-ing two interceptions, one going for score as Lee Meisner (So., Sterling, Colo.) took it to the house with a 41-yard interception return, as the Pack built a 34-7 lead by the end of the third quarter.

All that was left for the Pack was to bust some records in the final game. Lewis became just the third ThunderWolf in school history to go over 1,000 rushing yards in a season with his 158-yard

performance. He finished the season with 1,064 yards, second most in school history and just 49 away from the single-season school record held by all-time rushing leader, Bill Gower.

In a game dominated by the rushing attack, Clancy missed out on claiming school records in touchdown passes (he needed one to break the school record; he finished the season tied for the school mark). Clancy also did not eclipse head coach John Wristen’s passing yardage record, coming in needing 161 yards through the air to break the mark. Clancy didn’t need to pass, going just 2-for-10 for 30 yards as the rush-ing game ruled.

The ThunderWolves also set standards in lowest rushing yards al-lowed per game with 103.7 (breaking the mark of 113.5 set last season), and most yards per rush (ending the season at 5.27 yards per attempt, smashing the previous mark set in 1977 of 4.51). The Pack finished just 26 yards short of breaking the school record in most total yardage in a single season.

The Pack will finish their 2009 campaign in third place in the RMAC standings after finishing sixth a season ago with a 6-3 RMAC record, trailing just Colorado School of Mines and Nebraska-Kearney.

Rocky mountain athletic confeRenceAbout the RMACThe Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference is

a premier NCAA Division II conference located in the states of Colorado, Nebraska and New Mexico. The RMAC currently competes in 21 NCAA Division II sports and has earned more than 30 NCAA Division II national champion-ships and more than 20 national runner-ups since 1992. Founded in 1909, the RMAC is the fourth oldest conference in the United States.

Mission StatementThe Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference

is a Presidents’ Conference, committed to the principles set forth in the NCAA Division II Philosophy Statement. Our focus is on the overall educational experience of our student-athletes and the integration of the athletic programs into the total educational mission of our member schools. We seek to maintain institutional diversity and autonomy, and to promote individual diversity among the student-athletes and athletic staffs of our member institutions. We are committed to fostering the general welfare of our student-athletes and to developing their athletic skills and academic abilities. We provide leadership to develop and maintain a balance between competitive excellence and stability within our conference.

1909-1969The Colorado Faculty Athletic Conference

was formed March 6, 1909 by the following four charter members: University of Colorado, Colorado A&M (now Colorado State Univer-sity), Colorado College and Colorado School of Mines. In 1910, the league changed its name to the Rocky Mountain Faculty Athletic Confer-ence (RMFAC). The University of Denver and University of Utah joined the conference but Colorado College had a fallout with Colorado School of Mines and dropped from the confer-ence. In 1914, Colorado College rejoined and with the addition of Utah State University, the membership was at seven. Montana State University joined in 1917 and Brigham Young University joined in 1918 as the conference grew to nine members. Membership reached 12 when the University of Wyoming joined in 1921, and Western State College and the Uni-versity of Northern Colorado joined in 1924.

A major defection occurred as seven schools dropped out of the RMFAC to form the Moun-tain States Conference (also known as the Skyline Conference). Leaving the RMFAC were Colorado, Colorado State, Brigham Young, Utah State, Wyoming and Denver. The RMFAC continued to operate under faculty adminis-tration with five schools - Colorado College, Colorado Mines, Montana State, Northern Colorado and Western State.

Much athletic activity was curtailed during the World War II years, but in 1948 Idaho State University joined the league to bring the membership to six.

Adams State College became the seventh member in 1956, but Idaho State left in 1958 and Montana State departed in 1959, reducing the membership back to five schools.

In 1967, the name changed to what it is cur-

rently known as, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC). In a meeting of the presi-dents of 15 schools, the presidents assumed control of the league from the faculty, changed the name and the RMAC underwent the most radical change in its 58-year history. Ten in-stitutions were added to the conference and two divisions were formed (Mountains and Plains). Joining the conference were Emporia State, Fort Hays State University, Fort Lewis College, University of Nebraska-Omaha, Pitts-burg State, Kan., University of Southern Colo-rado, Southern Utah State, Regis University, Washburn, Kan., Western New Mexico and Westminster, Utah. Colorado College was not included in the new plan and New Mexico Highlands University joined in 1968 but left in 1969 due to financial aid restrictions of the RMAC.

1970-79The two divisions of the RMAC were split into

separate conferences for economic reasons in 1972. The Mountain Division kept the RMAC name, the Plains Division became known as the Great Plains Athletic Conference. The two allied conferences worked under the name of the Mountain and Plains Intercollegiate Ath-letic Association (MPIAA). RMAC member-ship stood at eight with ASC, CSM, FLC, Regis, Southern Utah State, Western New Mexico, WSC and Westminster. New Mexico Highlands became the ninth member in 1974 and Mesa State College became the 10th in 1975. In 1976, the MPIAA was dissolved for economic reasons and the two conferences went their separate ways. In the shuffle, Northern Colo-rado became independent and Southern Colo-rado transferred to the RMAC. Paul Brechler became the commissioner of the RMAC and was assisted by his wife Wanda. The 1978-79 season marked the first year in which the conference would sponsor women’s sports. In 1979, Westminster dropped its intercollegiate

athletic program, leaving the RMAC with 10 institutions.

1980-1989In 1983, Regis became an independent and

in 1985 Southern Colorado drops several sports, including football. In 1986, Southern Utah State departed the RMAC and member-ship dropped to eight. In 1988, New Mexico Highlands withdrew. The RMAC took another new look in 1989 when Chadron State Col-lege, Fort Hays State University, Kearney State (now the University of Nebraska at Kearney and current member) and Wayne State an-nounced intentions to join. Southern Colorado and Western New Mexico stated they were leaving the RMAC in 1990.

1990-1993During the 1990 RMAC Spring Meetings,

Kearney State and Wayne State withdrew their membership. Southern Colorado and Western New Mexico left on July 1, 1990 and Fort Lew-is said it would leave in 1991. Brechler retired as RMAC commissioner and his wife, Wanda, was named commissioner for the 1990-91 RMAC year. During the 1990-91 season, Fort Lewis was retained as an associate member for the sports of football, wrestling and soft-ball while New Mexico Highlands rejoined the conference. In August 1991, Kurt Patberg was named the RMAC commissioner. During the 1992-93 season, all RMAC institutions gave a three-year commitment to the league and the league moved into the NCAA Division II ranks. Anheuser-Busch, Rawlings and the Ramada Hotel-Denver West joined forces with the RMAC as corporate sponsors. A new logo was adopted and the RMAC Seal would be used for official league items only. The RMAC Week-In-Review television show on Prime Sports Network (now Fox Sports Rocky Mountain) was developed, post season basketball tour-naments were held and conference baseball

Rocky mountain athletic confeRenceteams participated in the Mile High Intercol-legiate Baseball League. Adams State won the RMAC’s initial two NCAA Division II titles with victories in men’s and women’s cross country in 1992 and 1993. Phillips 66 then became a major corporate sponsor.

1994-1999Conference growth continued in 1994 with

the addition of two new members and the hiring of a second full-time staff person. Fort Lewis resumed full membership and Nebras-ka-Kearney was voted in as a member, both ef-fective in July. Also in July, a full-time Assistant to the Commissioner/Media Relations Direc-tor was hired.

In November 1995, Adams State won its fourth straight national title in women’s cross country, while Western State won it first NCAA Division II national title in men’s cross country. The crowning moment for the confer-ence came in March of 1996, when Fort Hays State became only the third Division II team in the 40-year history of NCAA Division II men’s basketball to finish the season undefeated. The Tigers finished the year 34-0 en-route to FHSU’s first Division II national championship and the conference’s first national champion in men’s basketball.

Colorado Christian University, Metropolitan State College of Denver, Regis University and the University of Southern Colorado joined the league as full members on July 1, 1996. The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs joined as an associate member also on July 1, 1996. University of Denver was accepted as an affiliate member. The RMAC now consists of a two-division, 14 member conference for the sports of volleyball and men’s and women’s basketball. The league office also had a new look as the conference offices moved from Golden, Colo. to Colorado Springs, Colo.

Also in 1996, the RMAC’s intern position of Operations Coordinator was expanded to a full-time position and the Assistant to the Commissioner/Media Relations Director position changed titles to Assistant Commis-sioner/Media Relations Director.

The RMAC came under new direction in 1997 as Tom Wistrcill was named commis-sioner, replacing Kurt Patberg who resigned to pursue his doctorate degree. Wistrcill be-gan his appointment August 15, 1997 after serving a three-year term as Commissioner of the Northern Sun Conference. The Univer-sity of Denver completed its one-year term as an outgoing affiliate member of the RMAC, and began competition as an NCAA Division I institution for the 1998-99 year. CU-Colo-rado Springs completed its first year as a full member of the RMAC after becoming the 14th such institution on July 1, 1997. San Francisco State competed as an associate member of the RMAC in the sport of wrestling for the first time in 1997-98. In 1998, the RMAC men’s and women’s post-season basketball tourna-ment became the first conference event to be broadcast on live television as Fox Sports Rocky Mountain carried the two champion-ship games to a regional cable television au-dience.

2000-2009In 2000, Metro State joined Adams State

and Western State as national champions - with Adams State claiming the women’s cross country title, Western State claiming the men’s cross country title and Metro State win-ning the men’s basketball championship. Also, Fort Hays State advanced to the finals of the Division II Baseball World Series and the Mesa State softball team earned its first ever trip to the Softball World Series.

After a three year tenure with the RMAC, Tom Wistrcill stepped down as commissioner in November 2000.

The council of presidents selected Joel R. Smith as the new commissioner of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in February 2001.

Western State College earned NCAA national titles in men’s and women’s cross country in 2001 and 2002. Metro State posted their sec-ond NCAA men’s basketball national champi-onship team in three years (2002, 2000).

In July 2002, Smith implemented the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Hall of Fame and the first induction class was Paul and Wanda Brechler. The Brechler’s were the first full-time Commissioner’s of the RMAC.

The following year in March 2003, the RMAC basketball tournament (RMAC Shootout) was moved to Colorado Springs for three years (2003-2005) at the World Arena. In 2006, the tournament was moved to Pueblo, Colo. at the State Fair Events Center and the tournament has been held there ever since.

The RMAC’s national dominance in cross country continued as Adams State won six straight women’s titles between 2003-2008. The Grizzly men’s team took home the nation-al title in 2003 before Western State reclaimed the title in 2004 and 2005.

The conference’s monthly television show, The RMAC Showcase, debuted on Altitude Sports & Entertainment in September 2004.

For three straight years the RMAC won NCAA soccer championships. Metro State re-turned to the national spotlight, this time in women’s soccer. Head coach Danny Sanchez led the Roadrunners to the 2004 and 2006 NCAA championship titles. Coached by Jeremy Gunn, the Fort Lewis College men’s soccer team went 22-0-1 in 2005 to win their first ever national championship.

In the fall of 2006, Fort Hays State University left the RMAC to join the Mid-America Inter-collegiate Athletics Association (MIAA). Due to Fort Hays State’s departure, Western New Mexico University, located in Silver City, N.M., joined the RMAC.

Adams State won three of the RMAC’s four national championships in 2008 as they swept the cross country titles and won the NCAA Women’s Indoor Track & Field championship in Mankato, Minn. Nebraska-Kearney scored their first ever national championship in wrestling, winning the title by .5 points over Minnesota State, Mankato.

Since joining the NCAA, the Rocky Moun-tain Athletic Conference is home to 40 NCAA national champions and more than 30 NCAA runners-up.

FOUR-YEAR ERA

In 1963, Pueblo Junior College became Southern Colorado State College, and its athletic programs began competing against other four-year schools for the first time. Though the football program’s success as a junior college was admittedly mediocre, the program would be far more successful as a four-year program.

MIKE FRIEDMAN1974-83

The most successful coach in CSU-Pueblo history, Fried-man’s squads became the first to garner national rankings and a national playoff berth (in 1982). Friedman’s legacy as a great coach was tarnished, however, by his ability to follow the rules, as evidenced by his use of an ineligible player in 1977 and the reason behind his dismissal in

1983 – doctoring game tape that was sent to an opponent.

GARY RICHARDSON1984

Richardson was dealth the harshest hand of any coach in CSU-Pueblo history – having to direct a lame duck program. The one-time CSU-Pueblo assistant coach

inherited a depleted team and a program due to be on the chopping block for a campus-wide cost-cutting initiative

that claimed football, baseball, and gymnastics programs.

JOHN WRISTEN2007-PRESENT

John Wristen, a former all-conference quarterback at CSU-Pueblo from 1980-83, was hired as CSU-Pueblo’s head football coach in July 2007. He was tasked with

building a team from the ground up in just 365 days, with the first game taking place in September 2008. Working

out of an office located in the attic of the CSU-Pueblo Library while the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl,

the former assistant at Northwestern, UCLA and Colorado hired a world-class coaching staff and recruiting players

that began paying immediate dividends.

WE ARE CSU-PUEBLO!Colorado State University-Pueblo, the fastest-growing

university in the state of Colorado, offers students a high-quality education and a one-of-a-kind University experi-ence without the hassle and expense of larger colleges.

CSU-Pueblo is not only one of the best educational values in the Rocky Mountain region, but in the entire United States.

Colorado State University-Pueblo is nestled in a histori-cally and culturally rich community of more than 100,000 people, located in the southern part of the state near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains—just a short drive to Denver and Colorado Springs.

The state’s geography and attractions create an excit-ing environment for this vibrant college campus. With a population of more then 5,000 students – and growing, CSU-Pueblo students thrive in small classes taught by world-class educators. Outside the classroom we foster an exciting, adventurous and social environment rich in cul-ture, athletics, and all the beauty the Pikes Peak region has to offer. And with over 300 days of sunshine a year, people here have a healthy love for the outdoors.

CSU-Pueblo also boasts one of the fastest-growing athletic programs in the United States. Ever since the athletic program expanded in 2008, adding the sports of football, track and field and wrestling, as well as new or refurbished athletic facilities, including Mas-sari Arena, the Neta and Eddie DeRose Thunder-Bowl and a new Student Recreation Center, it is no coincidence that the University’s enrollment has increased by more than 25 percent for the past three years.

It’s an exciting time to be a ThunderWolf and the entire Pack community – students, faculty and staff – proudly proclaim with pride WE ARE CSU-PUEBLO!

PUEBLO & SOUTHERN COLORADOCSU-Pueblo’s campus, spanning more than

275 acres, crowns the north end of Pueblo, Colorado. Pueblo is a historically and cultur-ally rich city of over 100,000 located in the heart of the state, along the Arkansas River near the Greenhorn Mountains in the color-ful Pikes Peak region of Southern Colorado.

The city of Pueblo, Colorado is a place where your dreams can be as big as the snow-capped mountains, where fleece jackets and tuxedos are equally trendy, where small-town charm meets big-city fusion. Pueblo contains a dynamic mix of arts and culture, shopping and dining, sports and entertainment.

Approximately 300 sunny days a year attract outdoor enthusiasts to a full slate of summer and winter recreation-al activities, encompassing water sports at Lake Pueblo, biking or running along Pueblo’s beautiful river trail system, golfing, playing tennis, hik-ing or skiing in the mountains to the west, or just getting some sun.

The nightlife venues feature local and national artists performing at the Sangre De Cristo Arts & Confer-ence Center, dinner theaters, and local nightclubs.

Nearby, mountain communities host unique festivals, world-renown ski slopes and abundant recreational adventures.

Take in the friendly atmosphere at one of the local coffee cafes, enjoy the rich and spicy dining experience that is making this region popular, or watch a sunset from the shore of Lake Pueblo.

We invite you to explore our beautiful city from the shopping malls and 14-screen theater approximately 2 miles from campus, to the Royal Gorge Bridge less than an hour away. We’re proud to be a part of such a beautiful and dynamic city, Pueblo Colorado, Home of Heroes (4 Congressional Medal of Honor recipients).

CSU-PUEBLO & NCAA DIVISION IIWhy Choose Division II?Many Division II student-athletes had opportunities to

play in NCAA Division I or Division III or the NAIA. But they chose Division II, and for almost all of them, the choice is a good one. A “balance” exists that emphasizes both academic excellence and athletics achievement, and an environment is created that leads to the student-athlete’s total personal development.

Almost none of the 80,000 student-athletes competing in Division II this year will receive a full athletics grant that covers all of their expenses, but most of them will receive some financial aid to help them through school. For the rest of their expenses, they’re on their own – us-ing scholarships, student loans and employment earn-ings just like most other students attending college. This healthy partnership is the essence of Division II, where student-athletes are valued for their athletics contri-bution and for being an important part of the overall student body.

Division II student-athletes play at a competitive level, and they most often play close to home. Division II em-phasizes regional competition so that student-athletes miss less class time because of travel. Division II student-athletes receive value-based educations at regional insti-tutions that often feature high teacher-to-student ratios.

Why Did CSU-Pueblo Choose Division II?Colorado State University-Pueblo is proud to be an

NCAA Division II institution. Division II’s conservative fiscal model permits CSU-Pueblo to conduct high-level athletics that are fully integrated into the overall Univer-sity. Rather than being financially self-sustaining, almost all Division II programs, CSU-Pueblo included, receive support from the institution itself – just like other de-partments of the college or university.

Division II’s regionalization philosophy encourages responsible spending by limiting travel. It also creates a local emphasis that lowers recruiting expenses.

What that means for CSU-Pueblo student-athletes is a balanced atmosphere for personal and athletic growth. At the Division I level, student-athletes are regularly defined by their athletic contributions, with their class-room contributions seen as somewhat secondary. At the Division III level, though, it is almost reversed, where student-athletes receive no athletic grants for competi-tion. Division II offers a balance between athletics and academics, enhancing the overall student-athlete experi-ence.

Does it work? CSU-Pueblo is proud to be member of the Rocky Moun-

tain Athletic Conference, which includes 14 universities from the Rocky Mountain region. The RMAC allows for elite competition as well as ideal travel partners for RMAC competition.

The average expense for a Division II program is only 36 percent of that for a typical Division I-AA program. The largest reported athletics budget in Division II is only about 10 percent higher than the average athletics budget in Division I-AA.

Do fans support Division II? They do, both at CSU-Pueblo and in Division II as a

whole.Division II football set an attendance record in 2005

with 2,989,274 fans. In fact, Division II total football attendance has increased each year since 2002, the only NCAA division or subdivision that can make such a claim. Division II men’s basketball also set an all-time atten-dance record in 2004.

At CSU-Pueblo, the ThunderWolves enjoyed some of the best attendance in all of Division II. The ThunderWolves’ football program has been ranked in the top 20 nation-ally in attendance each of the past two seasons, and both years the Pack outdrew Colorado’s only Football Championship Subdivision program, Northern Colorado, by over 2,000 fans per game. In 2009-10, CSU-Pueblo also led the RMAC in attendance in men’s and women’s basketball.

Many former CSU-Pueblo student athletes have enjoyed productive careers, both inside and outside athletics.Athlete Professional Sport (Yr.)
