McNeese iN the PostseasoN With 14 appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs (FCS), McNeese State more than doubles the appearances of any other Southland Conference school. The Cowboys have posted an 11-14 record in the FCS playoffs, including two national championship appearances (1997 and 2002) and another semifinal spot (1995). McNeese has also appeared in three Independence Bowl games, including a 20-16 victory over Tulsa in the inaugural bowl game on Dec. 13, 1976. It was the first time McNeese appeared in a Division I postseason game. Other appearances were a 31-7 loss to Art Monk’s Syracuse team in the 1979 bowl and a 16-14 setback to Southern Mississippi in 1980. In 1991, McNeese State made its first of five straight appearances in the FCS playoffs, falling to No. 1 ranked Nevada 22-16. The Cowboys won their first playoff game the next year in a 23-20 win over Idaho but fell 29-7 to Northern Iowa in the quarterfinals. In 1995, McNeese capped off a perfect 11-0 regular season with a trip to its first-ever semifinals, but Marshall freshman quarterback Chad Pennington led his Thundering Herd to a 25-13 win. In 1997, McNeese slugged its way in dramatic fashion into its first FCS title game appearance, only to see it fall 10-9 to Youngstown, and in 2002, returned to the championship in a 34-14 loss to Western Kentucky, a team it had beaten convincingly earlier in the season, 38-13.

The McNeese athletic academic center, located in the newly constructed and remodeled Jack Doland Fieldhouse, is a state of the art facility that furnishes 18 Macintosh desktop computers as well as ample space for athletes to do their class work and studies.




athletic Facilities

The new Jack Doland athletic fieldhouse opened during the summer of 2011. This is a two story $8 million facility with new locker rooms, weight rooms, meeting rooms and offices as well as seated area for football games. The building encompasses 32,000 square feet.

One of the many attractive additions to the new Jack Doland Field House is the club room and the more than 140 seats located just outside the club in the north endzone. At the entrance is the Coach Gerald Conner Hall of Champions where all of McNeese’s championship trophies are displayed.

New locker room and equipment room are just a couple of the many improvements made with the renovations of the new field house.

cowboy staDiuM McNeese State’s Cowboy Stadium has traditionally been one of the most feared places to play for opposing teams. Dubbed “The Hole” for its unique design and layout, the stadium was con-structed in 1965 and renovated and expanded to a 17,410 seating capacity in 1975. Added in 1998 was a $3 million, three tier press box. In 2005, a new scoreboard and sound system ($1.1 million renovation) debuted. And in 2008, a GEOMAX2 artificial turf was put in and seating increased to 17,610 with the completion of the new athletic field house that features 200 box seats that overlook the north endzone. The Cowboys also have a practice area (A.I. Ratcliff Field) that includes three football fields on the east side of the stadium. Throughout its 48-year history, Cowboy Stadium has hosted standout play-ers such as Roger Staubach (Pensacola Navy, 1968), Terry Bradshaw (Louisiana Tech,1967and1969),JackieSmith(NorthwesternState,1960),ChadPenning-ton (Marshall, 1995), Daunte Culpepper (Central Florida, 1995), just to name a few. McNeese has racked up 183 wins at home in the history of Cowboy Stadium and has posted at .691 (183-83-5) home field winning percentage. The Cowboys have also had nine unbeaten seasons at home with three of those coming since the year 2000 (2-0 in 2005, 8-0 in 2002 and 5-0 in 2000). Since 2000, McNeese is 57-17 (.770) in Cowboy Stadium.

cowboy staDiuM McNeese State debuted its new GeoMax2 infilled “replicated grass” playing field in 2008. The project was financed by longtime university supporter Robert Noland and at his request the field was named the Louis Bonnette Field in honor of the school’s longtime sports information director. GSE GeoSport Surfaces, which is the largest geo-synthetics manufacturer in the world and the inventors of all rubber infill “repli-cated grass” installed the turf. McNeese booster clubs - the Cowboy Club, the Quarterback Club and the Petrochem Athletic Association - provided additional funding for the project. Bonnette retired from McNeese State this past June after serving 46 years as the school’s first and only Sports Information Director. Bonnette, a native of Pineville and graduate of Louisiana Tech, has received numerous professional honors in his career. Twice he served as president of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association and the LSWA presented him with its highest honor, the Mac Russo Award. He was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in the sports journalism division and in 2009; he was inducted into the College Sports Information Directors of America Hall of Fame; is a member of the McNeese State Athletic Hall of Fame and the South-land Conference Hall of Honor. Bonnette worked his 500th consecutive football game on October 24, 2009 and holds the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Di-rectors of America) record for most consecutive football games worked, a number that stands at 526 and is expected to continue.

JOLIE BLONDE: This is a popular Cajun waltz often referred to as the “Cajun National Anthem.” The song was made famous by Harry Choates in the late 1940s. The McNeese Band began playing the song in 1951 under Band Director Eddie See. In 1970, “Jo-lie Blonde” became the official school song.

ROWDY: In 1982, “Rowdy” was born. Rowdy was named after Clint East-wood’s character on the “Rawhide” television show. According to legend, Rowdy was on a cattle drive out west when he stopped in Lake Charles and decided to stay.

TAILGATING: McNeese is well known for its strong contingent of tailgaters. Fans start filling lots Fridays before gamedays and begin their cooking of various cajun meals. On gameday, lots around Cowboy stadium are filled with hundreds of RVs and thousands of tailgaters.

MYSTERY RIDER: McNeese is well known for its strong gameday traditions. Since 2007, a growing tradition was started after the “Horse and Rider” statue was put on the corner of Ryan and Sale street on the McNeese cam-pus. The “Horse and Rider” statue comes to life every Saturday. After the statue comes to life, the horse by the name of Moondancer and the Mystery Rider march down Common Street to Cowboy Stadium. During pre-game, Moon-dancer and the Mystery Rider take the field and scan the crowd intently. It is at that time that the Mystery Rider is making it know that he is watching you, making sure you are a Cowboy fan, and making sure that you are there sup-porting your Cowboy football team. After the Mystery Rider makes an impression in Cowboy Stadium, he then leaves the field to go round up the remaining people in the area who are not at the game.

BLUE WALL: Established in the 1978 season, the “Blue Wall” was named for the McNeese defensive unit that allowed just 9.8 points per game - sixth in the nation, and 15th in total de-fense, giving up 259.5 yards per contest. That defensive until included players such as John Miller, Billy Joe Davenport, Bryan Hicks, Tom Murphy, Tim Tregle and Tim Harris. In 1979, the Blue Wall was anchored by the four down linemen - Rusty Guilbeau, Clay Carroll, Leroy Gedward and Mark Helms. COWBELLS: Saturday night in Cowboy Sta-dium isn’t complete without the clanging of the hundreds of cowbells being used by fans. The cowbells have been an important part of the gameday experience for decades.

COWBOY WALK: Prior to each home game, the Cowboys are dropped off by bus near the entrance of the tailgating area where they begin their walk to the field house meeting with fans who are there to cheer them on to victory as well as asking for autographs.

BRINGING THE WOOD: “Bringing the Wood” is a football saying that stands for big hits and big plays. This can be done throughout prac-tices and most importantly during games. The Cowboys started the tradition of bringing out an actual piece of wood to honor a player that dem-onstrates the act on that particular week. Prior to the game, Head Strength Coach Zeb Hawk-ins picks an individual to lead the team out the tunnel. The wood is a physical reminder that one must always be ready to play and always give 100% effort on each and every play.










2013 seasoN PreviewQUARTERBACK Cody Stroud embarks on his final season as the Cowboys starter and with another stellar season, could leave McNeese as one of the greatest quarter-backs in school history. A year after throwing for 2,009 yards In 2011, Stroud threw for 2,102 yards after he completed 170 opf 278 passes, 19 touchdowns and just five interceptions. He’ll enter the season ranked sixth on the Mc-Neese all-time career passing list with 4,697 yards, fifth with 416 career passes completed, sixth with 31 career touchdown passes and seventh with 4,536 career offensive yards. The No. 2 spot should alter-nate between sophomores Tyler Bolfing (7-9, 92 yards, 2 tds) and Leon Blouin (2-3, 32 yards). 2013 Quarterbacks 18 Cody Stroud (Sr.-3L, 6-3, 194, Montgomery, La.) 19 Tyler Bolfing (So.-1L, 6-2, 207, Montgomery, Texas) 16 Leon Blouin (So.-1L, 6-0, 210, Geismer, La.)

TIGHT END Transfer standout Nic Jacobs is expected to make an immediate impact. Jacobs, a junior from Many, La., transferred from LSU following the 2012 season. At LSU, he played in 19 career games and made five catches for 58 yards. Also vying for the starting spot will be junior Kendale Thomas. Thom-as appearned in 10 games last season and made one start. He caught 7 passes for 69 yards and had two touchdowns. 2013 Tight Ends 89 KendaleThomas(Jr.-2L,6-1,230,NewIberia,La.) 88 NicJacobs(Jr.-TR,6-5,260,Many,La.,LSU)

RUNNING BACKS The 2013 running back corps for the Cowboys is one of the strongest in recent memory. Three of the top four rushers from last season return, including the top two - Marcus Wiltz and Javaris Murray. Throw in speedster Kelvin Bennett and the Cowboy return 1,457 of the team’s 2,304 rushing yards from last season. Wiltz averaged five yards a carry and scored a team-high six touch-downs while Murray averaged 5.9 yards per carry and Bennett 8.9 ypc. The trio combined to score 12 rushing touchdowns and had three td scores of 76 yards or more. Bennett set a new single-game school record with a 93-yard score in the seaosn finale against Lamar. Sophomore Terrell Alford will add some carries as well as freshman transfer Jontrey Tillman, who will enter the mix after a redshirt season at the University of Houston. Combined, McNeese will return 1,804 rushing yards, or 78 percent of its running game. 2013 Running Backs 3 Marcus Wiltz (Sr.-3L, 5-9, 192, Cecilia, La.) 25 JavarisMurray(Sr.-3L,5-8,180,Kingston,La.) 29 Kelvin Bennett (So.-1L, 5-11, 172, Bleakwood, Texas)

FULLBACKS Sophomore Dillon Long is expected to step in and be the primary blocker for the tailbacks. Long played in 10 games last season after miss-ing out on the season opener. Redshirt freshman Bryce Hebert, son of assistant coach Lark Hebert,

should see some playing time as well. 2013 Fullbacks 34 Dylan Long (So.-1L, 6-0, 225, Covington, La.) 49 Devin Eaglin (Fr.-RS, 5-10, 234, Westlake, La.)

WIDE RECEIVER Preseason all-conference selection Diontae Spencer (31 catches for 413 yards) is one of many talented receivers the Cowboys have this sea-son. Spencer, who finished second at the Southland Conference Outdoor Track and Field Meet in the 100-meter dash, will also be called upon to return punts for the Cowboys. The senior is the team’s top returning re-ceiver. Speedy senior Ernest Celestie returns after ranking third on the team in 2012 with 21 catches for 246 yards. Senior Wes Briscoe (13 catches for 222 yards and three tds) and senior Jereon McGilvery (3 catches for 28 yards) will be back. Redshirt freshman Damon Gladney will be looking to make an impact as well as sophomore transfer David Bush from TCU. In 2012, Bush played in nine games for the Horned Frogs and made four catches for 36 yards. 2013 Wide Receivers WR 17 Ernest Celestie (Sr.-2L, 5-11, 183, Lake Charles, La.) 7 David Bush (So.-TR, 5-9, 180, Tyler, Texas) WR 85 Wes Briscoe (Sr.-3L, 6-2, 168, Baton Rouge, La.) 4 Diontae Spencer (Sr.-3L, 5-9, 161, New Iberia, La.)

OFFENSIVE LINE The 2013 offensive line will feature two preseason all-con-ference players - Arinze Agada and Antoine Everett - but also a slew of newcomers and two players switching over from the defensive line - Quinten Marsh and Nick Gorman. Unlike in the preseason of 2012 where the depth chart fea-tured players with over 60 starts from the year before, this year’s depth chart has just 11 starts from the prior season will all of those coming from Agada. The depth features just one senior, two juniors, four sopho-mores and four redshirt fresh-men. A couple of incoming fresh-man will likely be called into dury - Thor Miller (6-3, 286) out of Manatee High School in Brandenton, Florida, and South Terrebonne High’s Adam Ziepke (6-3, 300). 2013 Offensive Line LT 71 AntoineEverett(Jr.-2L,6-3,304,Richmond,Texas) 66 PatrickJacobs(Fr.-RS,6-4,280,Elton,La.)

2013 seasoN PreviewSECONDARY McNeese will field one of the most experienced defensive backfields in the Southland Con-ference. Returning all-conference safety Terence Cahee (101 tackles, 4 TFL, 12 PBU, 1 Int.) returns as well as cornerback Guy Morgan (61 tackles, 3 Int., 3 TFL, 6 PBU). Both Cahee and Morgan have been named to the College Football Performance preseason watch list for Defen-sive Back of the Year. Cahee led the Cowboys with 101 tackles last season while Morgan, also a preseason first team all-conference selection, tied for the team lead with three pass interceptions. Senior Ryan Bronson (50 tackles, 3 Int.) returns as the starting free safety after he took over the role early last season when his brother and all-American, Malcolm, was lost for the season after he suffered a knee injury in the third week of the season. Freshman transfer Ja’Len James of Lake Charles, is expected to see some action as he’s expected to backup Aaron Sam (44 tackles, 2 Int.) at cornerback, who played in all 11 games last year. 2013 Secondary CB 6 Guy Morgan (Sr.-2L, 6-0, 188, Baton Rouge, La.) 22 Shea Nutt (Fr.-RS, 6-2, 175, Brenham, Texas) CB 21 AaronSam(Jr.-2L,5-9,176,LakeCharles,La.) 23 Ja’LenJames(Fr.-TR,5-10,175,LakeCharles,La.,UTSA) BS 45 Brent Spikes (So.-1L, 6-1, 190, Newton, Texas) 13 Gabe Hamner (So.-1L, 6-0, 185, Sealy, Texas) WS 11 Terence Cahee (Sr.-3L, 5-9, 190, Westlake, La.) 42 Steele Merritt (So.-1L, 6-2, 195, Natchitoches, La.)

DEFENSIVE LINE The Cowboys will stack up pretty well on the “Blue Wall” for the 2013 season as the front four are all returing starters. Preseason all-conference ends Chris Loveless (23 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 4 TFL) and Everett Ellefsen (50 tackles, 4 sacks, 12 TFL) will anchor the unit. Ellefsen has been named to the watch list for the CFPA Defensive Lineman of the Year award. Junior Kevin Dorn (36 tackles, 4 sacks, 8 TFL) and senior Michael Ware (19 tackles, 1 sack, 2.5 TFL) will make up the interior of the line. 2013 Defensive Line DE 99 Chris Loveless (Sr.-3L, 6-5, 225, Houston, Texas) 91 Cameron Smith (So.-1L, 6-3, 224, Tamarac, Fla.)

LINEBACKERS Returning starter Deonte Thompson earned preseason first team all-conference selections this season after a year where he ranked fourth on the team with 52 tackles to go along with five tackles for a loss. His backup will be sophomore Bo Brown (46 tackles, 1 Int., 2 TFL) who turned a lot of heads last year during a successful freshman campaign. The other linebacker starter is expected to be senior Hayden Dobbs (51 tackles, 1 Int., 3 TFL) while junior Correy Middleton (12 tackles) should see a significant amount of playing time. 2013 Linebackers LB 41 Hayden Dobbs (Sr.-3L, 6-0, 210, Houston, Texas) 52 CorreyMiddleton(Jr.-2L,6-0,210,Monroe,La.)

SPECIAL TEAMS Jean Breaux, a preseason all-conference selection and a name on the CFPA watch list for Punter of the Year, returns for his sophomore cam-paign following a true freshman season that saw him average 41.3 yards per punt while having 18 downed inside the 20-yard line. Transfer kicker Ryan Rome from Tulane is expected to han-dle the field goals. He played in 27 games at Tulane. Javaris Murray will be the go-to guy for kickoffs is expected to handle the kickoff return du-ties. In 2012, Murray averaged 19.4 yards per return in eight attempts and has a 22.1 career return average. Diontae Spencer led the Cowboys in punt returns last season with a 23.0 average but with just two returns. He’ll take over the role as the full-time punt returner this season. Spencer will also set up to return kicks as well. David Bush, a transfer from TCU, could line up deep to return punts. 2013 Special Teams PK 39 Ryan Rome (Sr.-TR, 5-10, 170, Destrahan, La., Tulane) 1 JeanBreaux(So.-1L,5-10,150,Scott,La.)

One of the most successful coaches in the NCAA’s FCS division, McNeese’s Matt Viator has put together winning percentages of 68 percent (overall) and 73 per-cent (league games only) in his previous six years as the Cowboy head coach. During that period he has led his team to three South-land Conference titles and to two runnerup finishes, av-eraging seven victories a year. The winningest active coach in the league, Viator will carry a 52-24 overall record and a 35-13 league mark into the upcoming season. The Cowboy coach, a graduate of McNeese, had served as an assistant coach on the staff for eight years before stepping into the top job four games deep into the 2006 season. Taking over a squad that had won but one of its first four games he led the team to a 6-2 record the rest of the way that year, won the SLC title and put his team into the NCAA championship playoffs. That was the start of one of the most electrifying coaching rises in conference history as the very next year his team posted only the fourth undefeated, untied regular season record in the university’s history, won the league title for a second year and participated in the NCAA FCS championship for a second straight year. Since then his team also won the 2009 title and fin-ished second in the league standings in both 2008 and 2010. The Cowboys finished fourth last season but won their final three conference games to finish 4-3 and secur-ing their eighth straight non-losing season – eighth longest such streak in FCS football. Viator has earned numerous coaching honors including two SLC coach of the year awards and a Louisiana collegiate coach of the year honor. He has also been a finalist for the national Eddie Robinson award twice. He claimed his first collegiate coaching victory in his very first game as head coach when the Cowboys posted a 30-27 win over Southern Utah in 2006. His 50th win came in exciting fashion as the Cowboys defeated conference foe Stephen F. Austin 35-24 on Homecoming night last Oct. 27.

Head Coach (52-24, 8th season as Head Coach; 15th overall)




coachiNg staFF Viator is the 14th head coach in McNeese history. His 6-2 rookie re-cord included a 5-1 mark in league play, the team winning the final five league games of the year. His teams have been ranked in the top 25 national polls five of the last seven seasons. Prior to his becoming head coach, Viator had served the univer-sity as offensive coordinator and is regarded as one of the top Division I offensive minds. The Cowboys have ranked among the national leaders in of-fense for eight of the past 12 years and the university has also produced the Southland Conference’s top of-fensive performer four of the last nine seasons. His offenses have led the league in scoring five times and in 2008 set school records for total offense per game, passing offense per game and scoring average per game. The Cowboys had the nation’s leading scorer in 2009, tailback Toddrick Pendland, and two years ago had the No. 2 punt returner in the nation in Darius Carey. Before he joined McNeese, Via-tor was one of the top prep coaches in Louisiana, producing an 81-37 won-lost record, winning one state crown and five league titles. He joined Mc-Neese in 1999 as linebacker coach and was made offensive coordinator in 2000, the Cowboys leading the league in both scoring offense and total offense that year. He is married and wife Schantel is a school teacher. His father is the late Nolan Viator, a former Cowboy coach, player (QB, MVP) and mem-ber of the McNeese Hall of Fame.

LanceguidryMcNeese, 1995Assistant Head CoachDefensive Coordinator (DB)7th year, 1st since 2008

coachiNg staFF

McNeese football head coach Matt Viator didn’t have to venture outside of the McNeese family to find a new defensive coordinator as he named former Cowboy standout player and previous coach Lance Guidry to guide his team’s defense as well as hold the title of assistant head coach. Guidry, a Welsh native, fills the spot that was vacated when Mike Collins left to become defensive coordinator at Sam Houston State. This will be the fourth stint for Guidry, a 1995 McNeese gradu-ate, on the Cowboys staff. He served as a graduate assistant in 1994 then returned as the school’s defensive coordinator from 2000-04, and in 2008, coached the defensive backs. In his seven combined years previously on the McNeese coach-ing staff, the Cowboys have compiled a 60-26 record, including a 31-11 mark in Southland Conference games. McNeese won three conference championships during that span, made five FCS playoff appearances, and played in the 2002 FCS National Championship game. “I was real excited when Matt (Viator) called to talk about me coming back,” said Guidry who served a brief stint on the staff of Stephen F. Austin before returning to McNeese. “My loyalty is to Coach Viator and to McNeese. It’s like when momma calls you to come back home, you go.” Guidry hit the ground running on all cylinders at McNeese with a defense he knows all to well. “I’m real familiar with the coaches and some of the players,” said Guidry. “First thing is to meet with the coaches and go over all of the terminology. Some things will change but the 4-2-5 defense is in my blood. I’m very excited to be back.” Guidry served as defensive coordinator at Western Kentucky the last two seasons and was named interim head coach on December 8 of last year to lead WKU against Central Michigan in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit, Mich., on December 26, a game the Hilltoppers dropped 24-21. Guidry has experience in the role, as the former assistant coach at Miami (Ohio) led the Redhawks to a 35-21 victory over Middle Tennessee as the interim head coach in the 2011 GoDaddy.com Bowl, helping Miami finish off a 10-4 season after going 1-11 the previous year. Miami became the first FBS school to go from double-digit losses to double-digit wins in consecutive seasons. Guidry helped orchestrate a similar turnaround since arriving on the Hill in 2011, helping WKU to back-to-back winning seasons in 2011 and 2012, including the program’s first-ever bowl bid since joining the FBS. His 2012 Hilltopper defense was a force nationally, ranking in the top 40 in seven different national defensive categories. The Guidry-led defense ranked 23rd nationally in total defense (344.42) and 12th in the nation in tackles for loss per game (7.42).

His squad also ranked at the top of four defensive categories in the Sun Belt Conference, including total defense, pass defense efficiency (128.4), sacks (31) and first down defense (19.3), while ranking second in rushing defense (136.6), scoring defense (25.6), passing defense (206.2) and interceptions (13). Under Gudiry’s guidance, WKU senior defensive end Quanter-us Smith put together a record-breaking 2012 season, accumulating 12.5 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss on his way to being named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Smith’s sack total in 2012 was just one away from setting a single-season Sun Belt Conference record, and his 24.0 career sacks tied the conference record. In two years under Guidry, Smith racked up 20 of his 24 career sacks. Guidry’s defense has shown up in big games, including games against the nation’s elite. In a week two matchup against defending nation champion Alabama, the WKU defense held the Crimson Tide to just 103 yards rushing, which was the team’s lowest output of the 2012 season. The 103 rushing yards were more than 120 yards less than the team’s season average, as Alabama went on to finish the season averaging over 224 yards per game on the ground en route to a BCS National Championship. The Crimson Tide averaged just over three yards per carry against WKU in that game. A 1995 graduate of McNeese, Guidry joined the Miami staff after serving as the defensive secondary coach at McNeese State in 2008. A veteran coach in Louisiana football’s high school ranks, Guidry served as secondary coach at Leesville High School in 1995 and 1996, helping lead the Wampus Cats to the state championship game in 1995. He also coached defensive backs at Carencro (La.) High School for three seasons (1997-99), then returned years later to serve as the Golden Bears’ head coach (2005-07). In between his stints at Carencro, Guidry served as defensive coordinator and coached the secondary at McNeese State (2000-04). The Cowboys reached the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in four consecutive seasons (2000-03), won three straight Southland Conference championships (2001, 2002, 2003) during that stretch, and lost to WKU in the 2002 FCS National Championship Game. During those years, he helped produce such all-Americans as Joe Judge, Keith Smith and Hadley Prince. Guidry was also a team captain, four-year letterman (1990-93) and all-conference defensive back at McNeese State and was a part of two conference championship teams (1991, 1993). He and his wife, Starlet, have four children: Janzen, Madison, Alexis and Kaitlyn.

southlaND coNFereNce 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 a half-century of the academic and athletic accom-plishments of its member institutions. Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference wel-comedtheadditionofOralRobertsUniversityin2012-13,markingtheleague’sfirstentryintothestateofOklahoma.Also,onJuly1,2013,theSouthlandwel-comedfouradditionalmembers:AbileneChristianUniversity,HoustonBaptistUniversity,theUniversityofIncarnateWordinSanAntonio,andtheUniversityofNew Orleans.

An original Southland member, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass ap-proximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank amongthetop100intheU.S. 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 coun-try, 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 South-land Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earn-ing numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a suc-cessful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.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 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston State advanced to the NCAA na-tional championship game. Also, 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 conference has been repre-sented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 104 Division I playoff games in 31 years, winning 51 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Divi-sion 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 initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based 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 champion-ships through formermembersArkansasState (1970,UPI)andLouisianaTech(1972,NationalFootballFoundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II play-offsin1973.TechfollowedthatwiththeUPI’sDivisionIInationalchampionshipin1974.Louisiana-Monroewon the 1987 Division I-AA national championship. McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned six trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs. The Southland has produced 168 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, StephenF.AustinquarterbackJeremyMosesbecamethefirstplayerinSouthlandhistorytoreceivetheWalter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level. The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Foot-ball League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including South-eastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2013 season.
