In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

What began as a small gathering of college administrators nearly 50 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the University of Texas at Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence.

On July 1, 2006, the Southland Conference commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organization. The addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock, Ark., metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. Central Arkansas and A&M-Corpus Christi enhanced the Conference in innumerable ways, including athletic and academic successes, strong and principled leadership, and strong fan support and media coverage.

In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference membership also consists of Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Texas State University-San Marcos.

All told, the revised membership of the Southland encompasses more than 180,000 current students and an alumni base of approximately 920,000. Famous alums from Southland Conference schools include former President Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas State), former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam

Houston State), retired U.S. Central Command General Tommy Franks (UT Arlington), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), country music star George Strait (Texas State), Major League Baseball stars Hunter Pence (UT Arlington), Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Ben Broussard (McNeese State), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas) and actor Lou Diamond Phillips (UT Arlington).

The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, San Antonio and the New Orleans area, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Houston, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport.

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has already broadcast nearly 100 events. The network is expanding its reach to roughly 10 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas in 2011-12. In its first three years, the regional network has received recognition for its work. It received a national honorable mention award at the College Sports Media Award at the College Sports Video Summit in

thiSiStheSouthlandConferenCeAtlanta in June 2011 for its production of the 2010 Stephen F. Austin vs. Sam Houston State football game in the category of professional live event, competing with the likes of ESPN, Turner Sports, YES Network and other conference networks, including the Big Ten and Mountain West. In the summer of 2010, the network was recognized for the best live game or event in its category for the production of the 2009 McNeese State vs. Stephen F. Austin football game. The conference network has also collected four prestigious Telly Awards, including this past summer when the conference won a Silver Telly Award for its promotion of the 2011 Southland Conference basketball tournament.

In January 2011, the Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas and Hunt Sports Group, played host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference office since 2006. The game will be played at Frisco’s Pizza Hut Park for at least the next two seasons. Frisco was named the fastest growing city in the nation in 2010.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest, the sixth such title game appearance since the league joined the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 93 Division I playoff games in 29 years, winning 43 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Originally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968. The College Division was re-named NCAA Division II in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class, before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks

of FCS in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I-A conference,

the Southland Conference was instrumental in the startup of the Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 national championship.

McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, played in the 1997 and 2002 NCAA Division I Championship games, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title game and has six playoff appearances, including each of the last two seasons. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned four trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the national 16-team playoffs. Five of the eight current football-playing members have qualified for the FCS playoffs.

The Southland has produced 156 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level.

The Southland is one of three FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (204) in the National Football League draft. The league also ranks third in the FCS with 24 players taken in the draft since 2000 and has 18 former players on NFL rosters heading into the 2011 season.

The Southland Conference has also sent such talent to the professional ranks as Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and

Felton Huggins (Southeastern Louisiana), Minnesota’s Rhett Bomar (Sam Houston State) and Fred Evans (Texas State), Jacksonville’s Bryan Smith (McNeese State) and Larry Hart (Central Arkansas), Tennessee’s Jacob Ford (Central Arkansas), Baltimore’s Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Seattle’s Dominique Edison (Stephen F. Austin) and Green Bay’s Antonio Robinson (Nicholls State), who became the Southland’s 24th player to win a Super Bowl when the Packers beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV in Arlington in 2011.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 45-plus years. The league has sent two teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney, Devin Brown, and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The Southland took another step forward in 2011. The league saw two teams reach the postseason (UTSA in the NCAA tournament and McNeese

State in the NIT) for the second time since 2008 and enjoyed its first win in the NCAA tournament since 2006.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins.

In 2011, three Southland teams reached the postseason for the second consecutive season. McNeese State won its first conference tournament to earn its first NCAA tournament berth. Lamar was selected to play in its first WNIT and Central Arkansas played in its first Division I postseason tournament in the WBI. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 11 times, including each of the last five years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Baseball has emerged as a huge Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country and that was no different in 2011 when 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland. Former UT Arlington shortstop, Trey Hillman, a three-time all-conference selection from 1983-85, was manager for the Kansas City Royals from the 2007-10 seasons and coached the American League in the 2009 MLB All-Star Game.

players from the Southland get drafted, matching its best draft in conference history (1995), to push the all-time draft total to 439 selections. In 2010, UT Arlington’s Michael Choice became the seventh Southland player taken in the first round, selected by Oakland with the 10th overall selection. He joins Ben Sheets (Louisiana-Monroe) as the league’s highest draft pick. The two are the only players in Southland history to be taken in the top 10 of the draft.

In 2011, Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. Gilligan joined the Southland Conference Hall of Honor in 2011. After 26 years as a college head coach, including the last five years at Sam Houston State, Mark Johnson, a Southwestern baseball legend, retired following the 2011 season. He was the 44th Division I coach to win more than 1,000 career games (1,043). He is among an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, annually beating at least one nationally ranked opponent since 1995. In 2011, the league had four wins against ranked opponents, including a win by Stephen F. Austin at No. 3 Texas. In the 2003 NCAA tournament, UT Arlington and Texas State enjoyed unprecedented success as each won two games in the national event. In 19 years of NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 14 wins.

The Southland has a proud history in volleyball with UT Arlington representing the conference eight times in the NCAA tournament, advancing all the way to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989.

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national

championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner and Charles Austin, Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of five more All-Americans in 2011, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 62 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 152 different All-Americans, including 123 men and 29 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2011 when three Southland teams – UT Arlington, Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past three seasons the Southland has sent nine golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010 and one in 2011. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black.

In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007.

Southland tennis has also experienced national prominence. UT Arlington All-American Andy Leber was the 2002 ITA/Ted Farnsworth National Senior Co-Player of the Year after a 43-3 record and earning the nation’s No. 2 ranking.

In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 953 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2011 spring semester.

While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes.

The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last five years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In the most recent year of data collection, 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes.

In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

Tom Burnett was named the Southland Conference’s sixth commissioner on Dec. 23, 2002, and brought a diverse background in athletics administration experience at the conference and national levels. Now the second-longest tenured full-time commissioner in league history, Burnett is in his ninth year of service with the Southland, and has a conference administrative background reaching over two decades.

Burnett has helped to enhance the Southland’s membership, with addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in July, 2006. The new membership gave the league 12 member institutions, the largest configuration in the conference’s 48-year history.

The league’s television exposure has expanded under his watch with the creation of the Southland Conference Television Network in 2008. This broadcast venture has since featured approximately 100 unique sports and promotional telecasts to a potential viewing audience of more than 13 million television households. The Southland also signed a multi-year agreement with the ESPN family of networks in 2010, and the league has had longstanding relationships with Fox Sports Net Southwest and Cox Sports Television.

He also recently led the successful community-wide effort to bring the 2011-13 NCAA Division I Football Championship Games to Frisco, Texas, as the Southland serves as the host conference for the national title contests at Pizza Hut

Park. A leading proponent for the Football Championship Subdivision, Burnett organized the first FCS Summit, a national gathering of athletic directors, commissioners, NCAA staff and other key football stakeholders held prior to the 2011 national championship game.

A former member of both the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Academic Performance and the Division I Football Academic Working Group, Burnett also served as the FCS Vice President for the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA) in 2007-08. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for NCAA Football, the organization that serves to improve, promote and protect college football for those who play, coach and support the game.

In 2004, Burnett also began the league’s renewed efforts to secure corporate sponsorships. Since then, the Southland has secured sponsorship agreements with State Farm Insurance, Capital One Bank, Toyota, American Airlines, Royal Purple Motor Oil, Best Western Hotels, O’Reilly Auto Parts, BellSouth, Aeropostale, Holiday Inn, Academy Sports and Outdoors, and Advantage Rent-A-Car.

He also initiated efforts to bring the Southland Conference basketball tournaments to a neutral site in the Houston area, giving the league a year-end celebration of the sport at a centralized location near much of the Southland’s largest alumni and student bases.

Prior to joining the Southland, Burnett spent nearly 11 years in a number of roles with the Sun Belt Conference, including stints as associate

tomburnettand assistant commissioner, and director of communications. He also served two years on the staff of the American South Conference.

His previous responsibilities included championships administration, public and media relations, television production and negotiation, scheduling, marketing, NCAA championship and committee service, and football bowl experience.

While at the Sun Belt, Burnett worked in the development of football as a league-sponsored sport, and was an administrator with the New Orleans Bowl, which began in 2001. He also produced the Sun Belt’s television packages with ESPN Regional Television, which debuted in 2002. In addition, he has experience negotiating television agreements with regional sports networks such as Fox Sports Net, Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast and numerous local television stations and cable systems.

He also provided oversight of Sun Belt championship events and administered more than 100 league tournaments. In 2000, he began exclusively administering the Sun Belt’s men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, which grew from minimal financial successes into events that grossed the conference $1.2 million during a three-year period.

Burnett has also served in an administrative capacity with numerous NCAA events, including national championships in men’s and women’s basketball, track and field, baseball and volleyball.

He represented the Southland Conference on the NCAA Division I Management Council in 2004-05, and served on the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Governance Committee from 2004-06. Burnett previously served on the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, and the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee.

Burnett, 47, is a native of Houston, Texas, and is a 1988 graduate of Louisiana Tech University, where he studied journalism and spent one year as the sports editor of the school’s student newspaper.

He and his wife Tracy, a native of Baton Rouge, La., are the parents of a son, Cole, and a daughter, Jesse.

As one of the nation’s newest and most innovative broadcast opportunities, the award-winning Southland Conference Television Network became a reality in 2008 and has broadcast nearly 100 events during its first three years. The network has earned a College Sports Media Award (2009) and an honorable mention (2010) at the College Sports Video Summit as well as four prestigious Telly Awards.

The conference will feature 11 football telecasts in 2011. The year’s schedule includes 10 games on the Southland’s network, plus an additional broadcast licensed exclusively for regional cable network Cox Sports Television.

The network will open its broadcast schedule Thursday, Sept. 1, when Sam Houston State plays host to Western Illinois. The second telecast will be the Southland opener between Northwestern State and Nicholls State Sept. 24. Lamar, which rejoins the Southland for football in 2011, makes its debut on the network Oct. 1 when it visits Southeastern Louisiana.

The Battle of the Piney Woods between Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin played at Houston’s Reliant Stadium Oct. 8 will be televised for the second consecutive year. The remainder of the Southland Network schedule will feature McNeese State at Central Arkansas Oct. 15, the first telecast on Central Arkansas’ new multi-colored turf at Estes Stadium. The UCA at Lamar game Oct. 22 will also be featured on the Network, and the McNeese State at SFA tilt Oct. 29 will close out the month.

The Southland Network will televise three games in November, including Central Arkansas at Northwestern State Nov. 5. The final two regular-season Saturdays have been designated for “wild card” broadcasts based on how the Conference race is shaping up. The Nov. 12 game will be one of three possible matchups: Lamar at Nicholls, Southeastern Louisiana at Stephen F. Austin or Northwestern State at Sam Houston State. The Nov. 19 contest will feature either McNeese State at Lamar or Stephen F. Austin at Northwestern State, the annual “Battle for Chief Caddo” rivalry game.

The Southland Network has given CST exclusive broadcast rights of the Thursday, Nov. 17 game between Nicholls and Southeastern Louisiana, also known as the “River Bell Classic,” set for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

The network will also televise the championship matches of the Southland Conference soccer and volleyball tournaments as part of its fall broadcast schedule. The soccer championship will be televised Sunday, Nov. 6 and the volleyball championship will be televised Sunday, Nov. 20.

A complete list of network affiliates will be announced prior to the season. All network programming will also be available on SLC NOW, the Southland’s streaming video channel on its website: southland.org.

On the strength of two regular-season team champi-onships and seven top-three finishes, UTSA claimed its second Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup for the 2010-11 academic year.

UTSA compiled 142.5 points to edge last year’s Cup win-ner, Stephen F. Austin, by one point with 141.5 points. The Roadrunners won their first Cup in 2008 and have finished as the runnerup in four of the last five Cup standings. UTSA is one of four Southland universities to win at least two Commissioner’s Cups, joining Sam Houston State, UT Arlington and Texas State.

UTSA totaled 78.5 points to win their first outright women’s all-sports trophy in program history. The Road-runners finished in a first-place tie with former conference member Louisiana-Monroe in 1994. Since that time, UTSA has finished in the top four 12 times with four second-place scores.

The Roadrunners had 64 points to finish second in the men’s all-sports trophy standings behind Stephen F. Aus-tin, which totaled 69 points. UTSA, which won the men’s all-sports trophy in 2006 and 2008, has been one of the more consistent programs in the conference, finishing no less than third in each of the last eight seasons.

The UTSA women won their first golf championship and finished in the top five in five other sports, including second place in soccer and volleyball. The UTSA men won their sixth consecutive indoor track and field title and recorded a top-five finish in four other sports, including second place in tennis and outdoor track and field.

Stephen F. Austin, the 2010 Commissioner’s Cup win-ner, was one point shy of claiming a share of its second overall trophy in the last two seasons. SFA was equally impressive in 2011 as the men’s and women’s programs combined to win five conference championships. The men claimed titles in football and outdoor track and field and the women swept championships in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track and field.

Texas State (124), UT Arlington (121.5) and Sam Hous-ton State (119.5), came in third, fourth and fifth place, respectively, by a margin of less than five points. McNeese State (112.5) finished sixth, Lamar (110), was seventh and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (89.5) finished in eighth place. Northwestern State (83.0), Central Arkansas (80.0), Southeastern Louisiana (80.0) and Nicholls (64.0) round out this year’s standings.

The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded annually to the top overall athletics program in the Southland Conference. Texas State leads all member institutions with four. In the 14-year history of the Commissioner’s Cup, UT Arlington and Sam Houston State each have three, UTSA now has two, and Northwestern State and Stephen F. Austin have one apiece.

The Southland Conference all-sports trophies are awarded annually for men’s and women’s competition based on a 12-point system for all conference sports. Point values are 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1, pending place of finish. Regular-season standings are used for sports that have a conference tournament. The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded to the university compiling the highest combined total of men’s and women’s all-sports points.

The Southland Conference presents five academic accolades to recognize student-athletes within the league who demonstrate excellence in the classroom and superior athletic achievements on the field or court. These academic honors include the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the All-Academic teams, the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year, the Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete awards and the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship awards.

Commissioner’sacademichonorrollNow called the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the Southland

Conference acknowledges all participants in all sports sponsored by the league and its member institutions. The honor roll is released within 30 days at the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters, recognizing student-athletes who maintained a 3.0 or better grade-point average.

Student-athletes, nominated by their respective academic advisors, must have been eligible to compete in a Conference sport during the academic year in which the nomination occurs.

The honor roll was first dubbed Southland Conference All-Academic and then the Southland Conference Honor Roll. It changed for a third time to the Commissioner’s List, beginning with the 1996-97 season, before acquiring its current title in the 2003-04 academic year.

SouthlandConferenceall-academicteamsThe Southland Conference announces all-academic teams in all 17

championship sports to recognize those student-athletes who excel in the classroom and on the field or court.

Nominated by each institution’s athletic media relations director and selected by a voting contingent made up of sports information directors, head coaches and academic or compliance administrators, all-academic team members must have posted at least a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, completed at least one full academic year at the member institution prior to the season in which the nomination occurs, and competed in a minimum of 50 percent of the sport’s contests during the most recently completed season.

Student-athletes receiving CoSIDA national academic honors are automatically named to the Southland all-academic first team. All-academic teams are announced in conjunction with the conference’s student-athlete of the year in each sport. One team shall be selected for cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field within 30 days following the outdoor championship.

SouthlandConferenceStudent-athleteoftheyear

Established in the 2002-03 academic year, the conference honors one student-athlete from each of the 17 championship sports who achieves excellence in academics, athletics and community/campus service.

The student-athlete of the year, selected by the league’s awards committee, will have attained athletics achievement for at least two years at the nominating institution, possess at least a 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and demonstrated extracurricular service at his/her campus and/or community.

The recipient of the student-athlete of the year award is announced in conjunction with the all-academic teams in each sport.

SouthlandConferenceScholar-athleteBeginning with the 1996-97 season, the conference annually recognizes

the outstanding male and female student-athletes from each of the league’s member institutions. Student-athletes must be a letterwinner with a minimum 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and have completed at least two years of intercollegiate competition at the school from which he/she was nominated. The student-athletes are selected by their respective institution administrators.

f.l.mcdonaldPostgraduateScholarshipThe F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship is presented annually to

graduating male and female letterwinners with the highest cumulative grade-point averages during their enrollment at Southland member schools. The $2,500 scholarship must be applied to graduate study at an institution of the recipient’s choice.

The award was established in memory of Dr. F.L. McDonald in 1996-97, a former president of Lamar University and 1999 Southland Hall of Honor inductee. McDonald served as Lamar’s president in 1963 when the Southland Conference was established and is considered one of the league’s founding fathers.

Each member institution may nominate one male and one female student-athlete who meet the following criteria: a letterwinner in a Conference sport, be on track to graduate during the spring in which they are nominated or the subsequent summer, and plan to attend graduate school no later than the second fall following the receipt of the award.

The 2010-11 scholarships were presented by Toyota.

Coordinatorof Officials

Now in his 35th year in football officiating, Byron Boston begins his third year as Southland Conference Coordinator of Football Officials. An accomplished football official at every level, Boston is currently in his 17th season as a game official in the National Football League. During his NFL career, he has officiated 14 playoff games, including Super Bowl XXXIV between St. Louis and

Tennessee, and seven Conference Championship games, and worked last year’s Pro Bowl.

Boston leads the Southland Conference in its successful football officiating consortium with the Big 12, which is entering its fifth year. The Mountain West Conference joined the consortium in 2010. Unprecedented in the annals of Division I football, the

combined officiating program provides the three conferences the ability to train and develop officials in a uniform manner, and build consistent philosophies on rules interpretations and on-field mechanics. A joint summer officiating clinic and an extensive system of film review also highlight the program.

Boston began his Division I collegiate officiating career in the Southland Conference, and joined the Southwest Conference officiating staff in 1990. Prior to that, Boston was a high school official in the Dallas and Houston areas. He has also been an instructor in various collegiate and high school officiating clinics, including those conducted by the Southland Conference.

Byron is a native of Gladewater, Texas, where he was a three-sport letterman at Gladewater High. Boston later graduated from Austin College, where he majored in economics and was a four-year football letterman and team captain. He was inducted into Austin College’s Hall of Honor in 1997.

Boston and his wife of 41 years, Carolyn, reside in Humble, Texas, and have three children: daughter Alicia, a Houston-based corporate attorney; oldest son Byron Jr., a narcotics detective for the Dallas Police Department; and youngest son David, a wide receiver in the NFL. After working in various management positions in the trucking industry for 23 years, Boston retired in 1995.

while Montana did not turn the ball over. The first three turnovers by Sam Houston led to touchdowns for Montana. Included were two interceptions in the first half, which led to a 14-6 halftime cushion for the host.

The 2004 season marked the 12th time in the last 14 years the Southland Conference was rep-resented by multiple teams in the 16-team NCAA Division I playoff field. Sam Houston State and Northwestern State were duplicates from the 2001 playoffs in a year when the Southland sent three teams with McNeese State also advancing.

2005Southeastern Louisiana, a member of the

league in all other sports since 1997, began Southland Conference football competition.

Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita wrecked havoc on the 2005 schedule before Texas State and Nicholls State shared the regular-season crown for the first Southland titles for either. The two advanced to the NCAA Division I play-offs with Texas State going all the way to the semifinals before losing in overtime to Northern Iowa, 40-37.

2006With McNeese State off to a 1-3 start, the

2006 season looked to be in trouble for success. But a turnaround happened as Matt Viator was named head coach on Sept. 13, 2006. Viator went on to lead the Cowboys to the NCAA Division I playoffs by posting a 6-2 record in his partial season. He was named both the Southland Coach of the Year and the Louisiana Sports Writers As-sociation Coach of the Year and was a finalist in the balloting for Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.

McNeese State captured its 11th Southland regular-season title and fourth in the last six years by posting a 5-1 league record in 2006 to finish one game ahead of Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin.

Southland newcomer Central Arkansas posted the best overall record at 8-3, but did not play a Southland schedule.

2007McNeese State finished the regular-season

11-0, becoming the first Southland school to complete the regular-season undefeated since the Cowboys accomplished the feat in 1995. As a result, the school won its 12th Southland regular-season title. The Cowboys also hosted a first-round game in the NCAA Division I playoffs, becoming the first Southland school to host since Texas State hosted three in 2005.

The Southland won two games against FBS opponents in 2007, as Nicholls State knocked off Rice 16-14 and McNeese State defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 38-17. They were the 14th

and 15th wins against the FBS for the Southland since 2000.

In the NFL Draft, the Southland had three players, McNeese State’s Bryan Smith, Nicholls State’s Kareem Moore and Northwestern State’s Demetrius Bell all taken. Smith was taken No. 80 overall in the third round by the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming the highest Southland player to be selected since former Cowboy Keith Smith was taken No. 73 in the 2004 NFL Draft.

Lamar, a member of the Southland Confer-ence in sports other than football, announces it will revive football after discontinuing the program in 1989. Lamar will begin play as an FCS independent in 2010 and will play a Southland Conference schedule in 2011.

2008Texas State won its second Southland title with

a 5-2 record after beating rival Sam Houston State in the regular-season finale. Central Arkansas, ineligible for the league championship during its transition to Division I from Division II, finished with a league-best 6-1 conference record. By virtue of winning the outright Southland title, Texas State earned the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA Division I playoffs, where it col-lided with perennial power and fourth-seeded Montana. The Grizzlies went on to reach the NCAA Division I National Championship game after getting by the Bobcats 31-13 in the open-ing round.

Three players – Central Arkansas quarterback Nathan Brown and defensive end Larry Hart and Nicholls State defensive back Lardarius Webb – as well as Central Arkansas head coach Clint Conque finished among the top 10 in balloting for the Payton Award, the Buck Buchanan Award and the Eddie Robinson Award.

The Southland led all FCS conferences with four NFL Draft picks in April. It was the most drafted out of the league since five were taken in 2002 and brought the total number of draft selections to 25 since the 2000 season. Webb was selected in the third round by Baltimore, while the New York Giants selected Sam Houston State quarterback Rhett Bomar in the fifth round. McNeese State receiver Quinten Lawrence and Stephen F. Austin receiver Dominique Edison, were taken in the sixth round by the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans, respectively. Another four players signed free agent contracts.

2009Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State each

finished 6-1 in Southland Conference play to share the conference championship. SFA won its third conference title and first since 1999, while McNeese won its 13th conference champion-ship and its sixth since 2000. The shared titles marked the first time since 2005 the league split

its championship. SFA beat McNeese, 16-13, to clinch the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA playoffs. The Lumberjacks, who were 0-11 in 2007, picked up the first postseason win by the league since 2005 when Texas State reached the semifinals. In its first appearance in the playoffs since its semifinal run in 1995, SFA beat Eastern Washington at home but lost at Montana in the quarterfinals. The Grizzlies went on to play in its second consecutive national championship game. McNeese, which was able to earn an at-large bid into the playoffs, also got a home game, but fell to New Hampshire.

Stephen F. Austin coach J.C. Harper was the runnerup for the Eddie Robinson Award, which is presented to the national coach of the year. The conference coach of the year, was just two points shy from winning the national award.

2010Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moeses

threw for 489 yards to lead the Lumberjacks to a 36-13 victory over Northwestern State in the regular-season finale. That win, coupled with Mc-Neese State’s loss at Central Arkansas, gave SFA its first outright Southland Conference title since the 1989 season. It also marked the first time in program history that SFA won back-to-back conference titles. The Lumberjacks earned the league’s automatic berth into the NCAA Division I playoffs and were awarded with a home game against Villanova, the 2009 national champion, but lost 54-24.

Moses went on to become the first Southland player to win the Walter Payton Award. The Lumberjacks’ quarterback set the FCS record for completions (1,184) and finished among the subdivision’s all-time top 10 in total offense (13,201), passing yards (13,401) and touchdown passes.

The Southland Conference, based in Frisco, Texas since 2006, was named the host of the 2011 NCAA Division I Football Championship Game. The Division I playoff bracket expanded from 16 teams to 20 teams and the new format pushed the championship game into January. Eastern Washington defeated Delaware, 20-19, in the first of at least three national championship games to be played at Pizza Hut Park. The venue is scheduled to also host the games following the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Central Arkansas became a full Division I member in 2010 and was eligible for a confer-ence championship and playoffs. Lamar, already a conference member in other sports, returned to the gridiron after a 21-year absence, but played the 2010 season as an independent. The Cardinals will rejoin the Southland in 2011 for the first time since the 1986 season.

Texas State played its final football season as a league member in 2010.

With a focus on high-quality competition, sportsmanship and on-the-field championship experience, the FCS provides alumni, students and fans with first-rate competitive excellence, while giving campuses and local communities tremendous rallying opportunities and an affordable family activity.

The origin of the game’s finest performers – Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Buck Buchanan, Tony Romo, Kurt Warner, Steve McNair, Rich Gannon and Brian Westbrook – the FCS annually proves itself as fertile ground for talent and the development of future stars and professional Hall of Famers. Coaching legends such as Eddie Robinson, Jim Tressel, Mack Brown, Tubby Raymond and Bobby Bowden all led programs at FCS institutions during their outstanding careers.

playoff event, culminating with a week-long celebration in Frisco, Texas. The Division I Football Championship is proving to be one of the NCAA’s premiere postseason events. Frisco, which was named the fastest growing city in the nation during the summer of 2010, will be home to the championship game through at least the 2012 season and is a natural fit to help grow the championship game.

Since 1982, the Southland Conference, which has been based in Frisco since 2006, has been a proud and prominent member of the FCS, and has an annual expectation of competing for the Division I national championship and placing multiple teams into postseason play. In addition to winning one Division I title, the Southland has also placed teams in six National Championship Games and has collectively won 43 Division I playoff games.

The Southland is one of 10 prestigious leagues that earn automatic qualification into the Division I Football Championship, a group that includes the Big Sky, Big South, Colonial, Missouri Valley Football, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot and Southern conferences.

McNeese State has made 14 appearances in the NCAA Division I playoffs.

Eastern Washington won the 2011 NCAA Division I Football Championship in Frisco, Texas.

Anyone who was in Frisco, Texas, the first Friday of January 2011 will no doubt remember the buzz in the city leading up to that night’s NCAA Division I Football Championship Game, the first of at least three national championship games to be played at Pizza Hut Park.

Eastern Washington came from behind to score three times in the final 17 minutes to beat Delaware, 20-19, to win the school’s first national championship. While the game was no doubt the highlight, it was a week’s worth of events that separated the event from past championships.

There were nearly three weeks between the semifinals and national championship game, a stark contrast to the one week teams and fans had to prepare before the playoff bracket expanded from 16 to 20 teams in 2010.

“It’s been nothing like this,” Delaware head coach K.C. Keeler told NCAA.com about his previous trips to the national title games. “Apart from the fact it might be a bowl experience, we’ve had a chance to enjoy it because we didn’t have to prepare during this week. We put our game plan together two weeks ago.

“But also just the way the town has embraced us and how everyone’s just so excited to have us. You can tell, this is genuine, and I think they’ve made a great impression on everyone around us.”

Delaware and Eastern Washington arrived to Texas on Tuesday and were greeted by signs and banners around town as well as great crowds at their respective team headquarters. Wednesday afternoon, the teams headed to two local elementary schools where they were welcomed by students eager to show off their school spirit for their newly adopted college teams.

“I’m sure we expected some exposure and stuff, but everything’s been unexpected,” Eastern Washington linebacker J.C. Sherritt said. “It’s been wonderful. Everybody at the hotel to the elementary school, it’s been really professional and well done.”

Later that night, the two participating teams gathered at the Frisco Conference Center for the Great Texas Barbecue Bowl that showcased the legendary Texas culture and hospitality. Thursday, teams attended the Champions Luncheon that featured keynote speaker Everson Walls, the former Grambling Tiger and Dallas Cowboy, who was serving as the FCS ambassador for the championship.

The day of the game, fans of the teams began gathering at restaurants and parking lots surrounding Pizza Hut Park and took part in Tailgate Town that featured quality entertainment and even more Texas sounds and flavors. Ultimately, it was time for kickoff and the matchup did not disappoint the 13,000-plus fans who attended the first college football game in Frisco.

Along with the date change, the venue was well received. The stadium gives the championship room to accommodate around 23,500 fans and has all the requisite amenities for fans and the teams, including a number of practice fields.

“I think it’s a great venue,” Eastern Washington head coach Beau Baldwin said. “I think it’s the perfect size. …it’s a great park. And the surrounding area is great. Obviously the facilities to practice on, I mean, you can’t get any better than that.”

Across the board, the response was positive for the change. The game is already scheduled to be played in Frisco following the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

The local organizing committee, collectively known as “Team Frisco” consists of the City of Frisco, its Economic Development Corporation and Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hunt Sports Group/Pizza Hut Park, the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and Frisco-based Southland Conference.

The Football Championship Subdivision includes the conferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship – Big Sky, Big South, Colonial Athletic Association, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot League, Southern and the Southland – in addition to two other conferences, the Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high level competition, student-athlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and the championship experience.

The City of Frisco is the fastest growing city in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Long considered a “fast growing community,” the City of Frisco achieved the title in 2010 when the U.S. Census Bureau announced Frisco’s population had grown from 33,714 in 2000 to more than 109,000 in 2010. This phenomenal growth is one reason why city leaders selected “Progress in Motion” as the city’s slogan.

Progress in Motion, which best describes Frisco’s spirit, compliments a brand that reflects Frisco’s century old roots. Established in 1902, Frisco was named for the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway which trekked through the then, small town. The brand first used to distinguish the historical rail line is now recognized throughout the U.S. as belonging to a city “making history,” as a result of its incredible growth and progres-sive practices.

Before being dubbed “the fastest growing city in the country,” Forbes.com awarded Frisco a place on its “Top 10 Best Places to Relocate” in 2009. Money Magazine listed Frisco among the “Top 100 Best Places to Live” in 2008.

Every day, more and more people are drawn to the City of Frisco for its emphasis on educa-tion, family and quality of life.

Increasing enrollment by 10-30 percent during the past 12 years, the Frisco Independent School District is the fastest growing school district in the nation. Currently, 37,306 students are served on 52 campuses by 5,000 staff members, making FISD among the largest single employers in the area. The Lewisville and Prosper Independent School Districts also serve Frisco. Together, these districts provide exceptional education environments. Higher education is also a priority in Frisco. Collin College, Dallas Baptist University, University of Dallas and Amberton University have campuses in Frisco.

Frisco’s comprehensive plan – or blue print for growth – was named “best in the state” in 2000 and again in 2006. The City of Frisco has

been “building green” since 2001, when Frisco became the first city in the country to mandate the EPA’s Energy Star program as the standard for new home construction.

The Frisco Fire Department has achieved the highest rating awarded by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), which translates into cost savings for homeowners. More importantly, the ISO No. 1 rating means the City of Frisco fire services, as well as its water and communications systems, are of the highest quality. Frisco Fire Safety Town is the first of its kind in the U.S., hosting more than 142,000 “children of all ages” since opening in 2007.

Frisco is proud to claim one of the lowest crime rates in Collin and Denton Counties, a credit to our watchful citizens and nationally accredited Frisco Police Department. The Frisco Parks and Recreation Department was named “best in the state” by the Texas Recreation and Parks Society in 2007 and 2010.

The new Frisco Discovery Center houses the Frisco Art Gallery, Frisco Black Box Theatre and Sci Tech Discovery Center under one roof while the nearby Frisco Heritage Museum invites visitors to experience history. Art lovers can experience

more than 150 pieces of art on public display throughout the city.

Stonebriar Centre mall anchors eight million square feet of dining and retail offerings, which include IKEA and Sam Moon Trading Company. Ten hotels and the Frisco Conference Center offer visitors and conventioneers a “home away from home.”

Frisco has “can do” attitude and a reputation for creating unique, public/private partnerships resulting in first class sports and entertainment venues.

Frisco is home to the Frisco Roughriders, an affiliate of the Texas Rangers; the three-time national champion Texas Tornado, a junior league hockey team; and the Texas Legends, a member of the NBA D-League and the newest member of the Frisco sports family.

These teams play in state of the art venues, including the Dr Pepper Ballpark and the Dr Pepper Arena, which is also home to the Dal-las Stars’ headquarters and training facility. Fieldhouse USA is a 144,000 square foot indoor sports facility and World Olympic Gymnastics Academy, renowned for turning out Olympic champions Nastia Luikin and Carly Patterson, is headquartered in Frisco.

Pizza Hut Park is an innovative soccer specific complex featuring a 23,500- seat stadium, which is home to FC Dallas, of Major League Soccer, as well as 17 tournament grade fields. This world class facility hosts everything from high school to international sporting events, not to mention, A-list concerts. The NCAA Division I Football Championship Game touched down at Pizza Hut Park in 2011 and will be played here through at least the 2012 season.

The City of Frisco’s list of major accomplish-ments and developments span the past 10 years yet continue to grow with its population. Frisco is a community full modern day pioneers defining Progress in Motion.

Southland Ushers in 48th Season in 2011The 2011 season will be the 48th for the

Southland Conference, which began playing with five schools in 1964. Lamar was 3-0-1 that season to finish ahead of Arkansas State, Trinity, Abilene Christian and UT Arlington. The Cardinals return to the conference in football this season after restarting their program in 2010. While UT Arlington is a league member in its other sports, it has not fielded a football team since 1985. None of the other original members are currently in the Southland.

This season kicks off Thursday, Sept. 1, with five games. Sam Houston State welcomes Western Illinois to Bowers Stadium in Huntsville in a game that will be televised by the Southland Conference Television Network. Other games opening night include Delta State at Northwestern State, McMurry at Stephen F. Austin, Evangel at Nicholls State and Henderson State at Central Arkansas as the Bears roll out their new purple and gray carpet at Estes Stadium. The other three teams open Saturday, Sept. 3. Texas College is at Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana is at Tulane and McNeese State visits Kansas.

A Different Eight Southland Teams in 2011There is a change in the Southland Conference

alignment for the 2011 season. The league welcomes back Lamar to the conference gridiron. The Cardinals were an original Southland member in 1964, but became an independent in the Football Championship Subdivision following the 1986 season before they discontinued the program in 1989. Lamar reinstated football last year and played as an independent, going 5-6.

While Lamar joins the league, Texas State departs. The Bobcats began their transition into the Football Bowl Subdivision in the offseason and as a result became ineligible for the NCAA Division I Championship and also for the Southland Conference championship. Texas State will play the 2011 season as an FCS Independent, and, while it stays on the schedule for the eight Southland teams, it will count as a non-conference game.

Frisco is Again the GoalAfter a successful NCAA Division I Football

Championship Game last year at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas, the destination remains the goal for every team in the Football Championship Subdivision. Eastern Washington beat Delaware, 20-19, in the first championship at the venue. It was the first of at least three scheduled championship games in Frisco, a north side suburb of Dallas and the nation’s fastest growing city. The Southland Conference, along with the City of Frisco and Hunt Sports Group serve as hosts for the game, which moved to Texas from Chattanooga, Tenn., last year after 13 seasons.

Last year’s championship was played Jan. 7, 2011, to accomodate expansion of the playoff bracket from 16 to 20 teams. This year’s championship is likely to be played either Jan. 6 or 7, 2012. More information about the championship can be found on page 24.

Stephen F. Austin Going for Three-PeatStephen F. Austin claimed an outright

Southland Conference championship in 2010 to give the school its first back-to-back conference titles. The last Southland team to win three consecutive titles was McNeese State, which shared the 2001 title with Sam Houston State before winning the league outright in 2002 and 2003. Arkansas State won three consecutive Southland titles from 1968-70 and Louisiana Tech won three in a row from 1972-74.

Lumberjacks Surprised in PlayoffsMaking consecutive appearances in the NCAA

playoffs for just the second time in school history, Stephen F. Austin received a first-round bye thanks to bracket expansion from 16 to 20 teams. A second-round date with defending champion Villanova was set for Dec. 4 with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals. SFA jumped out to a 21-7 first quarter lead, but struggled to hang on to the football. The Lumberjacks scored only three points on their next five possessions, which included an interception, a fumbled punt and kick return. Villanova seized the opportunity, outscoring SFA, 27-3, during the next 16 minutes to take a 10-point lead at the half. The Wildcats never trailed after that, rattling off 40 unanswered points in a 54-24 victory. Villanova upset No. 1 seed Appalachian State in the quarterfinals and played at Eastern Washington in the semifinals.

Moses Won 2010 Walter Payton AwardStephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy

Moses won the 2010 Walter Payton Award to become the first Southland Conference player to receive the honor in its 24-year history. He was presented with the award Jan. 6, 2011, at the Frisco Conference Center on the eve of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game.

A two-time Southland Conference Player of the Year, and the 2010 Southland Offensive Player of the Year, Moses guided SFA to a 9-3 record and its second consecutive conference title. Moses guided the Lumberjacks through a historical season that was capped by a return trip to the NCAA Division I Playoffs. Moses was the catalyst for the nation’s most prolific passing offense each of the past two seasons. The Lumberjacks led the country, averaging better than 360 yards per game, and were also ranked among the nation’s top six in scoring offense and total offense.

Southland TV Entering Fourth SeasonAs one of the nation’s newest and most

innovative broadcast opportunities, the award-winning Southland Conference Television Network became a reality in 2008 and has broadcast nearly 100 events during its first three years. The network, which reaches homes in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, has earned a College Sports Media Award (2009) and an honorable mention (2010) at the College Sports Video Summit as well as four prestigious Telly Awards. The conference will feature 11 football telecasts in 2011.

No April Fools’ JokeOn April 1, 2011, Central Arkansas announced

its plan to replace the grass field at Estes Stadium, the last natural grass field in the Southland, with a colorful purple and gray artificial surface. It brought quite a bit of attention to the school from national media who wanted to know if the news release was a prank. As they found out this summer, it was no joke. The two-tone field alternates purple and gray every five yards with black end zones and is getting rave reviews from across the country. The new field makes its television debut Oct. 15 when McNeese State visits Conway on Southland TV.

Battle of the Piney Woods Returns to Reliant The Battle of the Piney Woods between Sam

Houston and Stephen F. Austin returns to Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, in 2011. It will be the 86th football duel between the two rivals. The series is the second oldest FCS rivalry in Texas. The Battle of the Piney Woods dates back to 1923, with Sam Houston State holding a 48-35-2 edge in the series. Stephen F. Austin won last year, 31-28, in the first of four games in the rivalry that will be played at Reliant.

Northwestern State Nearing MilestoneDemon football is two wins shy of 500 all-

time victories since its first season in 1907. Northwestern is 498-416-22 entering its 103rd season of competition.

Eleven Games Scheduled Against FBS in 2011The Southland Conference has 11 games

scheduled against teams from the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) in 2011. The Southland was winless in 11 games against the FBS last year, but did register one win against that subdivision in 2009 when Central Arkansas beat Western Kentucky for the Southland’s 16th win against the FBS since 2000. This year, the Southland will play teams from Conference USA as well as the Big 12, Mid-American, Mountain West, Southeastern, Sun Belt and Western Athletic conferences.

Nicholls was selected sixth in both the coaches’ and SID polls with 16 points in each poll. Southeastern was picked seventh in each poll with 15 points from both the coaches and SIDs. Lamar received nine points in the coaches’ poll and eight points in the SID poll for an eighth-place ranking.

Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State, who finished as the top two teams in the Southland Conference last season, were again picked as the favorites heading into the 2011 season as voted on by the league’s coaches and sports information directors.

McNeese State was the coaches’ preseason pick, receiving three out of a possible eight first-place votes and 44 points to edge defending champion SFA by just one point. In the SID poll, the Lumberjacks garnered four first-place votes and tallied 44 points to edge the Cowboys by just one point.

The Cowboys, who haven’t finished lower than second in the Southland standings since Matt Viator took over as head coach in 2006, return 10 starters and 48 lettermen, including all-conference performers Andre Anderson (running back), Desmund Lighten (defensive end), Malcolm Bronson (safety), Josh Lewis (kicker), Miguel Gauthreaux (offensive guard) and Darrell Jenkins (safety).

The Lumberjacks are coming off their first back-to-back conference titles in school history and despite the loss of quarterback Jeremy Moses, the 2010 Walter Payton Award winner, return nine of 11 starters on offense including All-American receivers Gralyn Crawford and Cordell Roberson, and all-conference offensive linemen George Bias, John Steel and Corey Dickerson.

Central Arkansas, which finished in a three-way tie for third place in last season’s conference race, was picked third in both the coaches’ and SID polls receiving 37 and 35 points, respectively. The Bears will feature 47 players with on-the-field experience, including an experienced senior class of 19 to go along with another 17 juniors.

Picked to finish next to last in the coaches’ preseason poll last year, Sam Houston won six of its final nine games to tie for third in the league. This season, the Bearkats were selected fourth in the coaches’ poll with 36 points and fifth in the SID poll with 30 points. Second-year head coach Willie Fritz welcomes back 11 starters on offense, nine on defense and three specialist starters, plus 23 other returning lettermen.

Northwestern State, which tied for third last season with a 4-3 mark, is picked to finish fifth in the coaches’ poll with 24 points and fourth in the SID poll with 33 points. Junior linebacker Derek Rose returns after becoming the first sophomore All-American at Northwestern since current Buffalo Bills starting cornerback Terrence McGee earned that distinction as a record-setting return specialist in 2000.

The remaining sixth, seventh and eighth place teams include Nicholls State, Southeastern Louisiana and Lamar, which is playing its first Southland Conference season since 1986 after restarting its program in 2010.

A total of 30 of the 52 Southland Conference football players who earned all-conference honors following the 2010 season return for the 2011 season and garner spots on the preseason all-conference teams that were announced July 27 at the league’s football media day at the L’Auberge du Lac Resort in Lake Charles, La.

A total of 14 first-team selections, including seven each on the offense and defense, highlight the two teams that also see 16 second-team picks return for an automatic spot on the preseason squads. Three of the conference’s individual award winners from last year are back, including McNeese State senior running back Andre Anderson, the league’s newcomer of the year, along with Central Arkansas sophomore defensive back Jestin Love and Sam Houston State sophomore running back Tim Flanders, who shared the freshman of the year award.

Five Southland institutions have at least six student-athletes named to the preseason all-conference teams. Stephen F. Austin, which won the Southland championship in 2010 to earn consecutive conference championships for the first time in school history, leads all universities with 12 selections, including a conference-best eight first-team honorees. Sam Houston State has 11 honorees, including five first-team members. Central Arkansas is next with eight, followed by McNeese State with eight and Northwestern State with six. Nicholls State had three players named to the teams and Southeastern Louisiana had two.

Stephen F. Austin returns 20 starters from a team that recorded its fourth Southland Conference championship and its fifth appearance in the NCAA Division I Championship. On the first-team offense, the Lumberjacks return receivers Gralyn Crawford and Cordell Roberson and nabbed three of the five positions on the offensive line thanks to George Bias, John Steel and Corey Dickerson.

Crawford, one of the nation’s top returning receivers and kick returners in the nation, finished second in the league with 74 catches for 981 yards and five touchdowns. He led the league with 2,207 all-purpose yards thanks to returns totaling 1,221. Crawford averaged 183.9 all-purpose yards in the Lumberjacks’ 12 games. Roberson led the conference in receiving yards per game (84.2), reception yards (1,011) and receiving touchdowns (16), a figure that also led the nation.

The Lumberjacks’ other first-team selections included Josh Aubrey at defensive back and specialists Drew Nelson (punter) and Crawford (returns). Aubrey finished fourth on the team with 77 total tackles, including 49 solo stops and five tackles for loss. Nelson averaged 41.6 yards per punt, which ranked second in the conference.

SFA’s second-team picks, include receiver Anthony Foster, defensive lineman Darren

Robinson, linebacker Devin Ducote and defensive back Caleb Nelson. Gone, though, is record-setting quarterback Jeremy Moses, the Southland Conference Player of the Year who became the league’s first recipient of the Walter Payton Award, and linebacker Jabara Williams, the conference’s defensive player of the year.

Sam Houston State returns five preseason first-team selections, including Flanders as its lone first-team pick on offense. He led the conference with 948 rushing yards and scored 13 touchdowns on 172 rushes in only 10 games last year. Flanders, who finished second in scoring with 78 points and ranked ninth in total offense, set the school’s freshman rushing record and posted six consecutive games with at least 100 yards rushing.

He was joined by four defenders on the first team, including linemen J.T. Cleveland and Preston Sanders, linebacker Will Henry and defensive back Kenneth Jenkins. Cleveland registered 43 tackles last year, including seven tackles for loss and five sacks. Sanders made 12 stops with one sack and Henry made 48 tackles, including 11.5 tackles for loss and four sacks. Jenkins led the team with three interceptions, while totaling 58 tackles that included four tackles for loss and one sack.

The Bearkats’ six second-team selections include offensive linemen Travis Watson and Caleb Hopson, defensive back Darnell Taylor, placekicker Miguel Antonio, punter Matt Foster and return specialist Brandon Closner.

Central Arkansas placed 10 on the preseason all-league teams, including a pair of first-team honorees. Quarterback Nathan Dick, the second-team quarterback in 2010, headlines the first team. The Bears also placed offensive lineman Matt Dickerson on the first team.

In 16 games at UCA, Dick has completed 256 passes for 2,668 yards and 12 touchdowns and added 233 rushing yards and three scores. Last year’s second-team all-conference quarterback ranked second in the Southland with 254.6 yards of total offense per game last year and had the league’s second best pass efficiency rating (124.9) and second most passing yards per game (235.4). Dickerson helped the Bears average 5.2 yards per play and 372.2 yards of total offense per game.

Eight UCA players received second-team kudos, including Love, who led the league with six interceptions, all during conference play. He returned two interceptions for touchdowns, including a 98-yard score at Nicholls State. He followed it the next week with a 25-yard score against Southeastern Louisiana and had two interceptions in each of those games. His 166 yards off interception returns ranked third in school history.

Joining Love on the second team from UCA are running back Terence Bobo, halfback Isaiah

Jackson, receiver Dominique Croom, tight end Brennan Rushing, offensive lineman Joe LeHocky, defensive lineman Larry Duvall and linebacker Frank Newsome.

Of McNeese’s eight all-conference picks, five were first-team honorees, including Anderson, the league’s newcomer of the year. The transfer from Michigan State led the Southland with 713 rushing yards in seven conference games and finished the season with 855 yards after injuries forced him into the starting lineup at LSU, when he ran for a team-high 79 yards on 23 carries. His top game came against Texas State, when the Cowboys’ most valuable player tallied 170 yards. Joining him on the first team from McNeese are offensive lineman Miguel Gauthreaux, defensive lineman Desmund Lighten, defensive back Malcolm Bronson and placekicker Josh Lewis.

The Cowboys ranked second in the conference, averaging 153.8 rushing yards per game with Gauthreaux on the offensive line. Lighten enters his senior season with 168 career tackles, including 16.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks. His 8.5 tackles for loss led the team. Bronson, the conference freshman of the year in 2009, led the 2010 Cowboys and ranked third in the league with five interceptions, including four in conference play. He returned one 74 yards for a touchdown in a win over Texas State. Lewis ranked second in the Southland in kick scoring, averaging 5.9 points per game on 13-of-16 accuracy on field goals and 26-of-29 aim on PATs. His 81.2 field goal percentage was the best in the league.

The Cowboys’ second-team selections are offensive lineman Jonathan Landry, defensive lineman Pat Williams and defensive back Darrell Jenkins.

Northwestern State placed six on the preseason all-conference teams, including three on each side of scrimmage. Tight end Justin Aldredge, linebacker Derek Rose and defensive back Jamaal White earned first-team honors. Aldredge made 22 catches for 289 yards and led Demon receivers with four touchdowns. Rose made 138 tackles to lead the conference and rank 14th nationally. The total was the most at Northwestern since 1991. White finished fourth on the team with 53 tackles, including two tackles for loss. He also snagged three of the team’s four interceptions.

Demon quarterback Paul Harris, offensive lineman Zach Case and defensive back Brashard Booker earned second-team mention.

Nicholls’ preseason honorees include a first-team selection and two second-team members. Senior defensive back Bobby Felder represents the Colonels on the first-team defense. Felder received 2010 first-team All-Southland honors, leading the team with four interceptions, the fourth-most in the conference. Running back Jesse Turner and defensive lineman Edet Udoh earned second-team preseason honors.

Both of Southeastern Louisiana’s all-conference selections were first-team picks. Wide receiver Simmie Yarborough and defensive end Devan Walker represent the Lions on the teams. Yarborough, who is the school’s all-time leader in receptions and touchdown receptions, caught a career-high 60 passes in 2010, the third-most by a Southeastern receiver in a single-season. He finished the season with 709 receiving yards and 11.8 yards per catch. Junior defensive end Devan Walker was also a first-team selection, coming off a 2010 campaign where he had eight tackles for loss and four sacks to go with 35 tackles.

Since.the.turn.of.the.century,.much.has.changed.at.the.University.of.Central.Arkansas..The.school.has.gone.through.three.full-time.presidents,.two.interim.presidents,.six.athletic.directors.and.nearly.30.head.coaches.during.that.time;.and.the.athletic.department.has.transitioned.from.NCAA.Division.II.to.Division.I.and.seen.nearly.$20.million.in.facilities.enhancements..Through.all.the.change,.the.one.constant.force.has.been.Clint.Conque.and.the.Bear.football.program..

Conque.enters.the.2011.season.–.his.12th.at.the.school.–.as.the.winningest.coach.in.the.102-year.history.of.UCA.football.and.is.the.longest.tenured.coach.in.the.Southland.Conference..In.his.time.at.UCA,.Conque.has.overseen.the.evolution.of.the.program.from.a.contender.in.Division.II.through.the.transition.to.Division.I.and.into.a.competitor.in.the.Football.Championship.Subdivision.

Despite.all.the.change.and.transition,.the.Bears’.success.has.remained.consistent.under.Conque’s.guidance..UCA.has.turned.out.a.high-quality.product.–.fielding.eight.teams.with.winning.records.in.the.past.decade,.including.two.seasons.of.at.least.10.wins.and.six.of.eight.or.more..Since.2001.no.collegiate.program.in.the.state.of.Arkansas.has.won.more.than.the.Bears,.who.are.77-39.(.664)..

The.success.has.extended.well.beyond.the.won-loss.column.under.Conque..The.Bears.have.enjoyed.success.unparalleled.in.program.history.in.terms.of.attendance,.facilities.and.pro.prospects..

The.top.10.crowds.ever.to.watch.a.game.at.First.Security.Field.at.Estes.Stadium.have.all.come.since.the.Division.I.move.in.2006..The.atmosphere.has.quickly.developed.into.one.of.the.nation’s.premiere.settings.in.the.FCS.with.sellout.crowds.and.the.unique.purple.and.gray.turf.that.was.installed.this.summer..

Under.Conque,.29.former.Bears.have.gone.on.to.professional.playing.opportunities,.with.10.in.the.NFL.(including.four.draft.picks).and.another.six.in.the.CFL.

In.all,.Conque.has.seen.his.players.selected.All-American.31.times,.all-conference.88.times,.academic.all-conference.32.times.and.Academic.All-American.three.times..The.Bears.have.earned.eight.individual.conference.honors,.and.since.joining.the.Southland,.have.had.the.league’s.player.of.the.year,.defensive.player.of.the.year.twice,.offensive.player.of.the.year.and.freshman.of.the.year..

Since.joining.the.Division.I.ranks,.the.Bears.have.gone.36-21.(.632).and.are.19-11.(.633).against.Southland.opponents..But.more.importantly,.they.have.made.history..

In.2008.UCA.went.10-2.and.set.NCAA.precedent.when.it.became.the.first.reclassifying.team.to.win.a.league.with.an.automatic.qualifier.for.the.Division.I.playoffs,.having.gone.6-1.in.the.Southland..The.Bears.were.one.of.only.12.teams.in.the.Football.Championship.Subdivision.to.reach.double.digits.in.wins.that.year,.and.finished.the.season.ranked.No..11.–.marking.the.second.time.in.three.years.of.Division.I.play.to.finish.in.the.Top.25..It.was.the.highest.winning.percentage.(.833).at.UCA.since.1989.and.marked.just.the.seventh.time.in.school.history.a.team.reached.the.10-win.plateau..Conque.is.one.of.only.two.coaches.at.UCA.to.accomplish.the.feat,.and.did.it.twice.in.a.four-year.span.(2005.and.2008)..

For.his. team’s.success,.Conque.was.rewarded.with. the.Southland.Conference.Coach.of. the.Year.award.and.was.named.the.American.Football.Coaches.Association.Region.Five.FCS.Coach.of.the.Year..He.was.also.selected.as.a.finalist.for.the.Eddie.Robinson.Award,.given.annually.to.the.nation’s.top.FCS.coach..He.was.also.an.honorable.mention.selection.for.the.Sporting.News’.coach.of.the.year.award..

During.his.coaching.career.that.has.spanned.nearly.30.years,.Conque.has.spent.time.in.the.Louisiana.high.school.ranks.and.collegiately.at.Nicholls.State,.McNeese.State,.Samford.and.Louisiana.Tech.before.coming.to.Central.Arkansas.from.Louisiana.Tech.

A.graduate.of.Catholic.High.School.in.Baton.Rouge,.La.,.Conque.was.an.All-American.linebacker.at.Nicholls.State..He.was.selected.to.Nicholls’.Silver.Anniversary.Team.in.1997.and.in.2005.was.inducted.into.the.school’s.Hall.of.Fame..Following.his.playing.career.at.Nicholls,.Conque.landed.with.the.Los.Angeles.Raiders.only.to.have.his.career.cut.short.by.injury.in.1983..He.then.returned.to.Nicholls.and.began.his.coaching.career.as.a.graduate.assistant.for.the.Colonels..

seasonoutlookWith.four.consecutive.wins.coming.down.the.stretch.last.season,.Northwestern.State.seemed.to.have.turned.the.corner.under.second-year.coach.Bradley.Dale.Peveto.

The.Demons.stepped.onto.the.field.in.the.season.finale.with.the.opportunity.to.win.a.share.of.the.conference.championship,.and.claim.a.berth.in.the.NCAA.Division.I.playoffs,.by.winning..That.proved.too.tall.an.order.facing.top-10.Stephen.F..Austin.on.the.road,.but.there.was.no.masking.the.progress.made.in.the.second.half.of.2010.by.a.young.and.resilient.Northwestern.squad.

Northwestern.tied.Maryland.for.the.fourth-best.improvement.in.Division.I.football.last.season,.winning.five.more.times.than.in.2009..The.first.four.of.those.triumphs.were.nail-biters,.settled.in.the.final.minute.of.regulation.or.in.(double).overtime..Three.of.the.five.wins.came.on.the.road,.including.a.comeback.24-19.victory.at.nationally.ranked.Central.Arkansas.

That.was.then,.this.is.now..While.past.performance.is.a.prime.indicator.of.future.success,.it’s.no.guarantee..The.Demons.face.new.challenges.in.2011,.beginning.with.an.imposing.run-up.to.a.wide-open,.rugged.Southland.season.

But.there.are.many.reasons.to.believe.last.year.was.a.turning.point,.and.2011.will.mark.the.return.to.championship.contention.for.Northwestern.football..Athlon.Sports.has.already.tapped.the.Demons.as.the.team.to.beat.in.the.Southland,.based.on.59.returning.letterwinners,.including.16.starters.

The.2011.Demons.are.young.and.experienced..There.are.23.players.who.got.significant.action.as.true.freshmen.in.each.of.the.last.two.seasons..Among.those.are.all-star.candidates.like.junior.quarterback.Paul.Harris,.junior.receiver.Phillip.Harvey,.and.four.of.the.five.starting.offensive.linemen.sandwiched.around.savvy.senior.center.Zach.Case..Also.high.on.that.list.of.former.fab.freshmen.are.secondary.standouts.Jamaal.White,.Brashard.Booker.and.Cortez.Paige,.rising.junior.defensive.tackle.Quinn.Anthony.and.junior.kicker.John.Shaughnessy.

Then.blend.in.some.accomplished.veterans,.and.the.stock.rises.even.faster.

Bradley Dale Peveto

He’s. a. captain. of. enthusiasm..He’s. a. human.energy. burst..He’s. a. passionate. leader..He’s. a.documented.coaching.whiz.on.defense.and.special.teams..He’s.all.in,.for.the.long.haul..And.he’s.going.to.do.it.the.right.way.

seasonoutlookSome.household.names.among.fans.of.Southeastern.Louisiana.are.gone,.but.there.are.still.some.

big-name.players.on.board.along.with.a.promising.group.of.newcomers.on.the.Lions’.2011.roster..Southeastern,.which.was.able.to.redshirt.a.majority.of.a.2010.recruiting.class.that.was.tabbed.

No..1.nationally.among.schools.in.the.FCS.by.Rivals.com,.will.return.38.letterwinners.in.2011.for.fifth-year.coach.Mike.Lucas..Highlighting.the.returning.group.of.players.is.senior.All-America.can-didate.Simmie.Yarborough.–.the.school’s.all-time.leader.in.receptions.and.touchdown.receptions..

Lucas.welcomes.back.14.starters.trying.to.reverse.course.from.a.season.that.saw.the.Lions.fin-ish.2-9.with.six.losses.by.a.touchdown.or.less,.including.three.games.by.a.combined.four.points.

On.offense,.the.Lions.return.a.solid.nucleus.of.skill.players.highlighted.by.one.of.the.top.receiv-ing.trios.in.college.football.with.Yarborough.(60.receptions,.709.yards),.and.deep.threats.Brandon.Collins. (56. catches,.875.yards). and.Kory.Theodore. (34. catches,.622.yards). combining. for.150.receptions.and.more.than.2,200.yards..Add.in.fleet-footed.Sam.Fairley.(579.yards.rushing).and.bruising.runner.Zeke.Jones.(380.yards,.eight.touchdowns),.and.Southeastern.is.equipped.to.put.a.flourish.of.points.on.the.scoreboard.

Getting.the.ball.in.their.hands.will.rely.on.the.arm.of.junior.quarterback.Brian.Young,.who.threw.for.more.than.1,000.yards.in.six.games.with.a.pair.of.starts.last.season..Young,.who.served.as.the.backup.to.Tyler.Beatty.in.2010,.held.off.a.pair.of.redshirt.freshmen.in.claiming.the.starting.job.

Protecting.Young.will.rely.on.an.offensive.line.that.looks.to.replace.four.members.who.started.a.combined.34.games.in.2010..Full-time.starter.Josh.Penton.along.with.part-time.starters.Paul.Roppolo.and.Marshall.Paris.return.to.anchor.the.offensive.line,.which.lost.four-year.starter.Kevin.Hughes.and.two-year.starter.Michael.Stallworth..Returning.letterwinner.Gasten.Gabriel,.along.with.newcomer.Prentiss.Hood,.will.fill.the.two.remaining.spots.on.the.line.with.redshirt.fresh-men.Jarrod.Hale.and.Hunter.Craven,.along.with.returning.letterwinner.Geremy.Wilson.expected.to.play.a.significant.role.in.2011.

On.the.defensive.side,.Southeastern.must. replace.veterans.Tommy.Connors,.Mark.Newbill,.Ryan.Godare.and.Re’Keem.Wilson.but.an.athletic.group.of.players,.including.three.key.members.on.the.defensive.line.and.cornerback.Robert.Alford,.who.missed.the.entire.2010.season.to.injury..Finding.replacements.for.nine.starters.on.the.defensive.side.of.the.ball.will.be.a.big.priority,.but.Lucas.and.his.staff.have.plenty.of.options.to.evaluate.

Boutwell.and.Lucas,.who.both.missed.significant.time.to.injury,.form.one.of.the.top.inside.duos.in.the.Southland.Conference..On.the.outside,.Walker.and.Leavoy.are.key.veterans.and.bring.strong.pass.rush.skills.to.the.team.and.with.the.addition.of.junior.college.transfers.Frank.Bryant.and.Mairo.Stovall,.the.Lions.could.possess.one.of.the.top.pass.rushing.units.in.the.country.

Finding.replacements.on.the.back.end.will.be.most.important.as.the.quartet.of.Connors,.Wilson,.Curtis.Strong.and.Clint.Coleman.started.a.combined.43.games.in.2010..The.return.of.Alford,.who.started.nine.games.at.left.cornerback.in.2009,.and.the.addition.of.Louisiana.native.and.University.of.Memphis.transfer.Todd.Washington.give.the.Lions.a.pair.of.shutdown.corners.the.team.has.lacked.in.recent.years..

Junior.college.transfer.Kevin.Roberts.and.freshman.Marice.Sutton.came.out.of.spring.practice.as.the.starters.at.safety,.but.will.be.challenged.by.returning.letterwinner.Jerome.Wright.along.with.a.slew.of.newcomers.

The.Lions.special.teams.got.solid.play.down.the.stretch.from.kicker.Seth.Sebastian.and.punter.Beau.Mothe..Both.will.be.looked.upon.to.each.elevate.their.game.in.2011.as.both.possess.all-conference.ability..Giving.each.of.them.a.push.once.fall.camp.begins.will.be.freshman.Ryan.Adams,.a.strong-legged.freshman.from.Ohio.

Mike Lucas

Entering.his.fifth.full.season.as.head.football.coach.at.Southeastern.Louisiana,.Mike.Lucas.has.continued.to.strive.on.a.mission.of.molding.a.championship-caliber.program.through.a.heavy.emphasis.on.in-state.recruiting.

Named.the.14th.head.football.coach.in.school.history.on.Dec..14,.2006,.his.main.focus.was.to.quickly.stabilize.a.young.program.while.building.a.program.with.new.players.from.a.deep.pool.of.talent.in.the.state.of.Louisiana.and.the.neighboring.states.along.the.central.Gulf.Coast.

One.look.at.the.Southeastern.roster.reveals.a.strong.base.of.players.from.the.Pelican.State.and.the.Gulf.Coast..Of.the.players.on.the.2011.roster,.55.hail.from.the.state.of.Louisiana.with.45.players.coming.from.within.a.two-hour.driving.radius.of.Hammond,.La.

But.with.his.many.years.of.experience.in.the.Southland.Conference,.Lucas.has.the.Lions.on.track.as.they.enter.their.seventh.season.in.one.of.the.top.football.conferences.in.the.Football.Championship.Subdivision.

Under.Lucas’.guidance,.Southeastern.improved.its.overall.record.each.season.from.2006-09..After.leading.Southeastern.to.a.6-5.record.in.2009,.its.best.mark.since.finishing.7-4.in.2004,.Lucas.was.selected.as.coach.of.the.year.by.the.Louisiana.Sports.Writers.Association.

Lucas.has.also.provided.his.team.with.a.toughness.and.determination.not.seen.by.most.football.programs.

Lucas’.leadership.was.never.more.evident.in.the.2008.season.when.he.had.to.step.away.from.the.sidelines.for.the.final.six.games.due.to.having.a.heart.valve.procedure..He.named.then-offensive.coordinator.Tommy.Condell.as.acting.head.coach.–.a.move.that.helped.the.program.maintain.its.stability..The.Lions.finished.the.2008.campaign.with.a.5-7.record.and.were.competitive.in.each.game.of.a.12-game.schedule.that.included.opponents.Mississippi.State.and.Louisiana.Tech.from.the.Football.Bowl.Subdivision.

Despite.missing.the.final.six.games,.Lucas.was.allowed.by.his.doctors.to.return.to.coaching.as.he.assisted.Condell.and.defensive.coordinator.Matt.Webb.in.the.Lions’.regular-season.finale.at.Nicholls.State..He.was.soon.given.full.medical.clearance.and.was.quickly.back.on.the.recruiting.trail.before.eventually.returning.to.the.sidelines.in.2009.

Officially.named.head.coach.at.the.end.of.the.2006.campaign.after.serving.the.previous.two.seasons.as.defensive.coordinator,.Lucas.is.familiar.with.the.ingredients.that.are.needed.to.be.a.consistent.winner.in.the.Southland.

Under.Lucas’.guidance,.Southeastern.entered.the.Southland.in.2005.after.spending.the.previous.two.years.as.an.independent,.the.majority.of.the.Lions’.defensive.numbers.improved.across.the.board.despite.facing.a.much.stiffer.schedule.including.a.full-conference.slate..As.newcomers.to.the.Southland,.the.Lions.were.no.cubs,.especially.on.defense.where.they.were.third.overall,.behind.only.conference.co-champs.Nicholls.and.Texas.State,.in.total.defense,.were.second.in.pass.efficiency.defense,.third.in.rushing.defense.and.first.in.opponent.first.downs.allowed.

Lucas.also.serves.as.the.liaison.to.the.Career.and.Academic.Planning.Center..The.CAP.Center.assists.with.all.advising.and.tutorial.services.provided.for.Southeastern.student-athletes..After.one.year,.the.team.grade-point.average.had.seen.a.considerable.increase,.doubling.the.number.of.football.players.attaining.a.3.0.GPA.

Although.the.hard.work.of.the.players,.coaches.and.staff.are.critical,.at.least.part.of.the.Lions’.success.in.2005.could.be.attributed.to.Lucas’.familiarity.with.the.Southland..No.stranger.to.the.Southland,.Lucas.previously.served.as.defensive.coordinator.and.assistant.head.coach.at.Sam.Houston.State.for.15.years,.repeatedly.producing.defensive.units.that.ranked.among.the.best.in.the.FCS.and.Southland.Conference..He.also.coached.at.Eastern.New.Mexico,.UTEP,.Liberty.and.William.&.Mary.

He.earned.a.Bachelor.of.Science.degree.from.Liberty.in.1982,.majoring.in.physical.education.and.psychology.

stePHenf.austinrePeatssoutHlandtitleStephen F. Austin senior quarterback Jeremy Moses threw for 489 yards and three touchdowns

as the Lumberjacks rolled to a 36-13 victory over Northwestern State, Nov. 20. The win, coupled with McNeese State’s loss at Central Arkansas, gave SFA its first outright Southland Conference title since the 1989 season. It also marked the first time in program history the Lumberjacks have won back-to-back conference titles.

SFA opened the season with a loss at Texas A&M, but responded by winning its next six games, including a 22-20 victory at Northern Iowa, which reached the NCAA Division I playoffs after winning the Missouri Valley Football Conference. After giving up a 24-0 fourth quarter lead in a 27-24 home loss to Texas State, the Lumberjacks won their final three games – at Nicholls State and home games against Southeastern Louisiana and Northwestern State.

Making consecutive appearances in the NCAA playoffs for just the second time in school history, Stephen F. Austin received a first-round bye as the bracket expanded from 16 to 20 teams. A second-round date with defending champion Villanova was set for Dec. 4 with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals.

SFA jumped out to a 21-7 first quarter lead, but struggled to hang on to the football. The Lumberjacks scored only three points on their next five possessions, which included an interception, and a fumble punt and kick return. Villanova seized the opportunity, outscoring SFA, 27-3, during the next 16 minutes to take a 10-point lead at the half. The Wildcats never trailed after that, rattling off 40 unanswered points in a 54-24 victory.

Moses entered his final season as the school’s all-time leading passer, and owned all Southland Conference career records by the midway point of the 2010 season. Moses closed out his career as one of the NCAA’s all-time greatest quarterbacks, setting a Football Championship Subdivision career record for completions (1,184) and finishing among the FCS all-time top 10 in total offense (13,201), passing yards (13,401) and touchdown passes (121). Those numbers also place him among the NCAA’s top 25, regardless of division, in all four categories. Moses went on to win the prestigious Walter Payton Award as the subdivision’s best player. That was a first in conference history.

finalPolls

Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses won the 2010 Walter Payton Award to become the first Southland Conference player to receive the honor in its 24-year history. He was presented with the award Jan. 6, 2011, at the Frisco Conference Center on the eve of the NCAA Division I Football Championship.

Established in 1987, the Walter Payton Player of the Year award is presented annually to the most outstanding college football player at the FCS level. The winner is chosen by a nationwide panel of media members and college media relations directors.

A two-time Southland Conference Player of the Year, and the 2010 Southland Offensive Player of the Year, Moses guided SFA to a 9-3 record and its second consecutive conference title. Moses guided the Lumberjacks through a historical season that was capped by a return trip to the NCAA Division I Playoffs.

Moses was the catalyst for the nation’s most prolific passing offense each of the past two seasons. The Lumberjacks led the country, averaging better than 360 yards per game, and were also ranked among the nation’s top six in scoring offense and total offense.

Moses has ranked at or near the top in the country in nearly every statistical category in each of the past three seasons. A 2009 Walter

Payton Award finalist, Moses led the nation in completions and passing yards, finished second in total offense and sixth overall in points responsible for.

Moses entered his final season as the school’s all-time leading passer, and owned all the conference career marks by the midway point of the 2010 season. Moses closed out his career as one of the NCAA’s all-time greatest quarterbacks setting an NCAA FCS career record for completions (1,184) and finishing among the FCS all-time top 10 in total offense (13,201), passing yards (13,401) and touchdown passes (121). Those numbers also place him among the NCAA’s top 25, regardless of division, in all four categories.

soutHland2010review

Northwestern State tight end Justin Aldredge and linebacker Yaser Elqutub, McNeese State punter Ben Bourgeois, Nicholls State punter Patrick Dolan and Stephen F. Austin punter Drew Nelson have been named to the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association academic all-star team for 2010.

The announcement came from FCS ADA president Greg Burke, chairman of the academic all-star team selection committee and athletic director at Northwestern State University.

“The FCS ADA looks forward to honoring the accomplishments of its football student-athletes each year with the announcement of the academic all-star team,” Burke said. “The dedication of these young men to perform successfully both on the field of competition and in the classroom epitomizes the definition of a Division I student athlete.”

Football players from all of the FCS institutions are eligible for the awards. Each nominee is required to have a minimum grade point average of 3.20 (on a 4.00 scale) in undergraduate study and have been a starter or key player with legitimate athletic credentials. He must have reached his second year of athletics and academic standing at the nominated institution and have completed a minimum of one full academic year. He must also have participated in at least 50 percent of the games played.

The Academic All-Star Team was trimmed from 92 nominees by a six-person review panel representing the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association.

Northwestern was among 11 FCS institutions with the maximum allowable two nominees who made the team, along with Cal Poly, Dartmouth, Dayton, Delaware, Eastern Washington, South Dakota State, Southern Illinois, Western Illinois, Wofford and Yale.

One of the premiere leagues in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, the Southland Conference continues to emerge as a breeding ground for the future stars of the National Football League. From groundbreaking players such as Pro Football Hall of Famer Fred Dean to the league’s newest crop of first-year hopefuls, the conference boasts a rich tradition of sending impact players to the NFL.

For each of the Southland’s NFL-bound alumni, professional success starts in the classrooms and on the gridiron of the league’s eight active competing universities. Four programs sent five rookies to camp in the summer of 2010. One of them reached the pinacle.

Former Nicholls State receiver Antonio Robinson, was one of five Southland Conference players who signed with an NFL team prior to the 2010 season, later joining the Green Bay Packers as a free agent. He went on to become the 24th player from the conference to win a Super Bowl championship. A total of 47 former players from the Southland have 63 Super Bowl appearances between them.

Two months later in the 2011 NFL Draft two more Southland players were selected. Central Arkansas defensive end Markell Carter was picked in the sixth round by the New England Patriots and Stephen F. Austin linebacker Jabara Williams followed in the seventh round when he was drafted by St. Louis.

A total of 17 former Southland Conference players appeared on NFL rosters as of June 15, 2011. The Southland is one of three FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (204) in the NFL draft, behind the Ivy League (229) and Big Sky (218). The league also ranks third in the subdivision with 24 players taken in the draft since 2000, behind the Big Sky (29) and the Colonial (25).

The Southland Conference led all FCS conferences with four selections in the 2009 draft and sent 11 players into preseason camps that summer. Only in 2002, when five players were among the more than 250 selections, were more Southland alumni drafted in the same season this decade.

Former Northwestern State cornerback Terrance McGee is the conference’s longest-tenured alumni in the NFL. McGee has completed nine seasons in the NFL, all with the Buffalo Bills. He is one of two active Southland stars heading into the 2011 campaign with at least five years of NFL experience. Former Central Arkansas defensive end Jacob Ford has spent five years on the Tennessee Titans roster.

McGee, an All-American kick returner during his tenure with the Demons, is one of 10 players from the Southland Conference to have taken part in the Pro Bowl. He was selected to the AFC squad as the league’s special teams’ representative in 2005. Only Stephen F. Austin alumnus Jeremiah Trotter has played in the Pro Bowl more recently than McGee.

The Lumberjacks’ former pass-rushing star retired in 2007 having taken part in four Pro Bowls as a representative of the Philadelphia Eagles, the last of which came in 2006. Former Arkansas State star Bill Bergey, who played in a combined five Pro Bowls, including one with the Cincinnati Bengals, also represented the Eagles in four Pro Bowls.

The conference’s other four-time Pro Bowler is Fred Dean, arguably the most successful professional football player in the history of the Southland Conference. Dean, a four-time Pro Bowler, was a two-time Southland Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team all-Southland selection all four years of his career at Louisiana Tech. He is one of only five Southland players to earn that distinction. In all, Dean played for 11 seasons in the NFL, recording 93 sacks in 141 games for the San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers. He twice hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy as a Super Bowl Champion alongside Joe Montana and in 2009 became the first Southland football player to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Like Dean, former Texas State standout Ricky Sanders won a pair of Super Bowl rings with the Washington Redskins during his seven-year career. The owner of multiple Super Bowl records, including most receiving yards (193), most total yards (235), most touchdowns in one quarter (two), most receiving yards in one quarter (168), and the longest touchdown reception (80, tie), Sanders joins Dean and 13 other former Southland players as members of at least one Super Bowl championship roster.

More former NFL stars from the Southland include Stan Humphries, Fred Barnett, Roger Carr, Marvin Upshaw, Mike Barber, Bruce Collie, Tim McKyer, Pat Tilley, Jackie Harris, Eugene Seale, Bubby Brister, Leonard Smith, Billy Ryckman, Rafael Septien, Buford Jordan and Ray Brown, among many others.
