2010 preview

excitment follows

Young team into 2010

After a disappointing 22-30 campaign last season, the University of Memphis softball team will look for a fresh start in 2010. The Tigers lose four position starters from 2009, but the return of 12 letterwinners and a young crop of talented newcomers give the squad confidence heading into the upcoming season. Memphis returns its top two pitchers from last season and is joined by Henderson State transfer Lauren Carley and freshman Carly Hummel. Carley sat out the 2009 season and fall due to transfer restrictions and is expected to contribute immediately this year. The 2010 team is young with only two seniors on the squad. Twelve of the 19 players on the roster are underclassmen or newcom-ers. But head coach Windy Thees believes she has put together a group of players that will compete with the best.

mott returns from

injurY to lead infield

Memphis returns three players in its infield with significant starting experience, includ-ing the return of redshirt junior Heather Mott. Mott was on pace for a breakout year in 2009 before shoulder surgery ended her year just 16 games into the season. Now healthy, Mott is expected to lead the Tigers both offensively and defensively at shortstop. Junior third base-man Maddie McKinley and sophomore first baseman Jessica Phillips also return for 2010. McKinley led the team in fall exhibition play with five home runs in five games and is looking to carry the hot stroke into the season to help replace some of the offensive numbers lost by the graduation of three-time all-conference player, Leila Dolfo. Sophomore Alyssa Palmieri and freshman Shanna Brown will battle for time at second base, after the departure of four-year starter Tori Gross.

Junior third baseman Maddie McKinely is expected to provide both an offensive and defensive threat in 2010.

Junior Janelle Valle led the team with a 3.14 ERA in 2009 and finished the year 8-14 with 73 K’s.

pitching on the rise

Returning veterans, senior Vanessa Walle and junior Janelle Valle, are joined by junior transfer Lauren Carley and freshman Carly Hummel to give this year’s team one of the deepest and most talented pitching staffs in the school’s history. Valle and Walle were both the team leaders in pitching last season and combined for 16 of the team’s 22 victories. Hummel is a heralded freshman who combined with Walle for a no-hitter in her first ap-pearance during the 2009 fall exhibition schedule against Alcorn State. She allowed just one hit with 20 strikeouts in 10 innings during the fall.

a challenging schedule

The Tigers will play four teams in 2010 who competed in the 2009 NCAA Softball Champi-onship, including Super Regional participant North Dakota State. Other tournament teams on the schedule are Tulsa, UT Martin and Mis-sissippi Valley State. Memphis will play in four tournaments: the Centenary Spring Tournament in Shreveport, La., the UCSB Gaucho Classic in Santa Barbara, Calif., and the USF Under Armour Invitational in Tampa, Fla., and will host the fourth annual Blues City Classic.

a deep catching pool

The Tigers return two catchers from last season, junior Kailey Kassner and sophomore Nikki Moreno, and are joined by All-American junior college transfer Keanah Prestridge. One of the deepest positions for Memphis in 2010, the Tigers’ catchers have naturally created a healthy competition between one another heading into the season.

outfield readY to shine

Memphis returns three letterwinners to the outfield in senior Leigh Rowan, junior Kim Sir-man and 2009 all-conference freshman team selection Lelani Bernardino. Also competing for playing time in 2010 will be junior transfer Alex Marshall. Junior third baseman Maddie McKin-ley could see time in the outfield as well.

Senior Leigh Rowan returns to the outfield after spending most of 2009 as a designated player do to an arm injury.

Vanessa Walle earned a victory on the mound and knocked a game-winning run in the ninth inning to help Memphis sweep two games with eventual NCAA tournament participant UT Martin in 2009.

Junior Kailey Kassner hit .269 last season for the Tigers with three home runs and 11 RBI.

Redshirt junior Heather Mott hit .264 with three home runs and 15 RBI in 16 games for the Tigers in 2009.

Left with the daunting task of starting a softball program from scratch, Uni-versity of Memphis head coach Windy Thees has stepped up to the challenge. In just four seasons, Thees has built the Tigers into a winning program that has continued to show it can compete with any team in the country. Now entering her fi fth season in 2010, Memphis looks to continue its growth with a squad that returns six starters, two pitchers and 12 letterwinners. In the short four-year history of the Memphis softball program, Thees has compiled a 111-111 (.500) over-all record and guided the team to the

Conference USA Championship Tour-nament in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The Tigers fi nished ninth in C-USA in 2009 with a 22-30 overall record and 7-17 in league play, including a three-game series sweep of reining league cham-pion Houston. The Cougars had gone four years without being swept in three games. In 2009, one of Coach Thees’ focuses was to become a more dangerous team on the basepath. That vision could be seen as the Tigers set a new season re-cord in stolen bases with 72, surpassing the previous high of 61 in 2006. Memphis surpassed its per game steal mark in

2008 from a .927 average to 1.4 swipes per game in 2009. Other team records broken in 2009 came in triples (10) and double plays (21). Memphis came just short in several games in 2009. A third of the U of M’s losses last year came by one run, in-cluding a 1-0 loss to then No. 9/11 California. In her four seasons at Memphis, Thees’ players have earned six All-Con-ference awards, six all-conference freshman team selections and one NFCA All-South Region selection. This past year, Leila Dolfo earned her third All-Confer-ence USA selection and was named to the second team. Lelani Bernardino was also named to the All-Conference USA Freshman team. Thees’ players have also found suc-cess in the classroom with all 13 of her seniors earning their diploma. In addi-tion, under Thees’ tenure the Tigers have

earned four CoSIDA/ESPN The Maga-zine All-District selections, 15 NFCA Scholar Athlete selections and four C-USA All-Academic team selections. The softball program has twice pro-duced the U of M’s nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. For-mer volleyball and softball letterwinner Melissa Nance was the 2008 Memphis nominee, and former pitching standout Jenna Kubesch was nominated in 2007.

Kubesch also earned one of 12 C-USA Postgraduate Scholarships. Thees helped Memphis improve its win total by 29 percent in 2007, while losing one game fewer than its inaugural season totals in 2006. The Tigers’ power numbers also saw an increase from 2006 with the team fi nishing fourth in the league in home runs with 47, 14 more than the previous season and a 33 percent in-crease. In the Tigers’ fi rst C-USA Championship trip, the team defeated third seeded Tulsa, 2-1, in the open-ing game. Despite only one hit in the game, Memphis scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning with the game-winning run coming home off a suicide squeeze bunt. The Tigers then lost a 1-0 10-inning battle to East Carolina with the Pirates breaking up a perfect game in the ninth. Memphis reached the league tournament in dramat-ic fashion in 2007 needing to win its fi nal six conference

games of the season to qualify for the event. With a postseason type mentality, Thees guided her Tigers to sweeps over UAB and UCF with all six games decided by a run and two needing walk-off scores in the 11th inning. In 2006, Thees brought in a squad of newcomers and fi nished above .500 with a 28-26 overall record. The Tigers earned a 19-0 victory in its inaugural de-but against Grambling State and went on to a 5-1 start. Narrowly missing one of the six spots in the Confer-ence USA Championship, Memphis fi nished seventh in the nine-team conference with a 10-13 record. On January 6, 2005, University of Memphis Direc-tor of Athletics R.C. Johnson announced Thees as the head coach of the new intercollegiate softball program. Thees and her inaugural squad began competition in the 2006 season in C-USA. Thees came to Memphis from Georgia College & State University where she had been the head softball coach and SWA since the fall of 1999. She led the Divi-sion II school, located in Milledgeville, Ga., to a runner-up fi nish in the 2003 Division II National Championship. Her teams set nearly every pitching, defensive, and of-fensive record at GCSU during her fi ve years as head

coach, and in doing so, helped Thees compile a record of 163-92 (.639). During the aforementioned 2003 season, Thees was named the Peach Belt Confer-ence Coach of the Year, the South Atlantic Region Coach of the Year, as well as the Georgia Collegiate Coach of the Year. Thees’ student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom as her team posted better than a 3.0 grade point average in each semester during her last four years at GCSU with nearly a 100 percent graduation rate. Following her team’s 2003 season, Thees was selected as a member of the coaching staff

of the Russian National Softball team and helped lead the team to a Silver Medal in the European Champion-ships, the highest-ever fi nish for Russia in an interna-tional softball event. Prior to her tenure at GCSU, Thees served as an as-sistant softball coach and wellness coordinator at Lake City Community College in Lake City, Fla., from 1998-99. LCCC was ranked No. 1 in the national poll during both the 1998 and 1999 seasons and placed second at the JUCO National Championships in 1999. Thees was a four-year starter at both catcher and second base at Florida State from 1993-97. She helped lead the Seminoles to three ACC Championships and made the All-ACC Tournament Team twice, including once as a freshman. Thees was voted the team’s Most Inspirational Player all four seasons, and served as a team captain her senior year in 1997. She earned her bachelor’s degree in marketing and multinational busi-ness from FSU in 1997 and also holds her master’s degree in business administration from GCSU, which she earned in 2002. A native of Mesa, Ariz., Thees and her husband Mi-chael have seven-year-old twin daughters, Megan Jo and Alexandria.

Ashley Blanton enters her fourth year as an assistant softball coach for the University of Memphis. A former player for Tiger head coach Windy Thees at Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, Ga., Blanton works closely with the infi elders and hitters. “Ashley is one of the most complete players I have ever coached,” Thees said. “She is a very driven and competi-tive person who matches what we hope to accomplish here at Memphis.” Blanton has worked tirelessly on im-proving the fi elding of the infi eld and in-creasing the team’s offensive production. In 2009, the Tigers set a new season best with 21 double plays turned, an in-crease of eight from the previous season. Memphis set a new record for home runs in 2008 with 48, which was the third high-est total in Conference USA.

In 2007, the Tigers improved their fi elding percentage by 12 points, ris-ing from a .951 percentage in 2006 to a .963. The Memphis power numbers also increased as home runs rose by 42 percent. The U of M belted 47 dingers in 2007 as compared to 33 in 2006. Blanton came to Memphis after a season as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Before coaching for the Skyhawks, the High Springs, Fla., native served as an assistant coach with Mars Hills College in North Carolina. At MHC she helped the Lions increase their win total by 13 games in the 2005 season and improve in almost every statistical category. As a player, Blanton started every game at second base during her one year with Thees at GCSU in 2004. She fi nished the season hitting .264 with six home runs, 38 hits, 15 RBI and a .969 fi elding percentage, while leading the Bobcats to a 33-18 overall record. Blanton began her collegiate career at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, Fla., where she played both basketball and softball from 1999-2001. With the Saints, Blanton earned All-Mid-Florida Conference second team honors in 2001. She was also named to the All-State Junior College Academic Team and to the MFC All Academic Team in 2000 and 2001. After Santa Fe CC, Blanton spent two years at North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega. At NGCSU, she was a two-year starter and helped lead the Saints to two Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference cham-pionships in 2002 and 2003. Her 2003 team fi nished 50-8 with a perfect 20-0 conference record after fi nishing 39-6 and 16-4 in 2002. Blanton received her bachelor’s de-gree in business administration from Georgia College & State University in 2004.

Former LSU standout All-American catcher Killian Roessner enters her sec-ond year as an assistant with the Univer-sity of Memphis softball program after joining the team for the 2009 season. “We’re really excited to have Killian with our program,” said Memphis head coach Windy Thees. “She brings that youthful excitement that you have when you fi nish college and are ready to coach. It’s something that she’s always wanted to do.” After catching some of the top pitchers in softball, Roessner works closely with the pitchers and catchers at Memphis.

A four-year starter with the LSU Ti-gers (2005-08), Roessner fi nished her collegiate career batting .288 with 21 home runs, 109 RBI and 64 runs scored. The Manasquan, New Jersey, native started 214 of her 236 games played and holds the school record at LSU for most runners caught stealing and lowest stolen base percentage against. Roessner was named a 2007 NFCA First-Team All-American after hitting .354 with six home runs and 23 runs scored as a junior. Roessner was named the 2007 Diamond Sports Na-tional Catcher of the Year for NCAA Divi-sion I catchers. She also ranks fourth in LSU history in sacrifi ce fl ies, seventh in doubles, 10th in home runs, 11th in hits and total bases and 12th in RBIs. In her fi nal season at LSU, Roessner hit 10 home runs and recorded walk-off two-run homers to defeat Auburn and Pa-cifi c. She was named a preseason ESPN fi rst-team All-American and was a mem-ber of the USA Softball Player of the Year Watch List heading into the 2008 season. Roessner spent four seasons (2004-07) as a catcher/designated hitter on the Stratford Brakettes, one of the premiere softball dynasties in the Amateur Soft-ball Association of America’s highest division. The summer program out of Stratford, Conn., has won 28 Women’s Major Fast Pitch national champion-ships. The team had three alumni and a coach on Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Beijing, including Cat Oster-man who Roessner caught while playing for the Brakettes. With the Brakettes, Roessner hit .351 in 147 games played with 10 home runs, 102 RBI and 75 runs scored. Roessner earned three letters in soft-ball at Lawrenceville Prep School before transferring to Wall High School, where she earned one letter. She was named the 2003 Prep Player of the Year and was a three-time fi rst-team all-state selection.

Tigers for next Year

The University of Memphis finished the 2009 campaign with a 22-30 record and went 7-17 in Conference USA play to finish ninth. The Tigers ended their season with an 11-5 loss to UAB in the opening round of the C-USA Championship tournament in El Paso, Texas. A third of the U of M’s losses in 2009 came by one run, including a 1-0 loss to then No. 9/11 California in the Chevron Spring Fling Tourna-ment hosted by Hawai’i. The Tigers finished with a winning record at home with an 11-8 record at the Tiger Softball Complex. Among those victories was a three-game conference sweep of reining C-USA champion Houston. Memphis was the first team to sweep the Cougars in a three-game series since 2005. New team records set by the Tigers in 2009 included most stolen bases (72), triples (10)double plays (21) and most times hit by the pitch (44).

memphis award winners

Senior infielder Leila Dolfo and freshman Lelani Bernardino were both honored at the Conference USA Softball Postseason Banquet. Dolfo was named to the All-Conference USA Second Team, while Bernardino was selected to the All-Conference Freshman Team. The All-Conference honor is the third-straight for Dolfo who was a second team selection in 2008 and a first team pick in 2007. The San Diego native also earned all-freshman honors in 2006. Bernardino is the sixth Tiger to earn C-USA All-Freshman honors. She ranked seventh in the league with 10 sac bunts and was second on the team with 28 runs scored. Sophomore pitcher Janelle Valle was chosen as one of 11 softball student-athletes to the C-USA All-Academic Team as voted by the league’s sports information directors. She is a biology major with a minor in criminal justice and sports a 3.97 GPA.

Senior Leila Dolfo led the team with a .323 average and had 25 RBI with 23 runs scored.

Brittany Gooch stole a team high 16 bases for the U of M in 2009 to help the team swipe a record 72 bases.

stealing the deal

At the beginning of the year, Memphis had a goal to be more aggressive on the base paths. That aggression paid dividends for the Tigers who stole 72 bases in 52 games to set a new program record, surpassing the previous high of 61 in 2006. In 2008, Memphis finished with 51 steals in 55 games, an average of .927 swipes per game. Last year, the Tigers aver-aged 1.4 steals per game. Twelve different players had at least one steal on the year and seven had at least four. Senior Brittany Gooch led the team with 16 steals in 18 attempts.

the bar has been set

Five seniors led the team in 2009 led by three-time All-Conference infielder Leila Dolfo. The seniors, which also included Brittany Gooch, Tori Gross, Leandra Hines and Lyndsey Ster-ling, represent the first four-year senior class in the program’s young history. All five began their careers with Memphis in the school’s inaugural softball season in 2006.

so close, Yet so far

away

Ten of the Tigers’ 30 losses in 2009 were by one run. Memphis was 4-10 in one-run games last year. In the final 23 games, Memphis was involved in 11 one-run games and was 4-7 in those games.

a rare sweep

The three-game league sweep by Memphis over Houston is the first for the Cougars since losing three-straight to Louisville in 2005. The Tigers held Houston to just nine hits in the three games, including a one-hitter in eight innings in game three.

Freshman catcher Nikki Moreno became the first Memphis player to earn C-USA Hitter of the Week honors following the sweep of Houston.

2009 Memphis senior class: Leandra Hines, Brittany Gooch, Tori Gross, Lyndsey Sterling and Leila Dolfo.Junior Vanessa Walle earned the decision in eight

one-run games in 2009 and was 2-6 in those games.

Lelani Bernardino became the sixth Tiger in the past four years to earn All-C-USA Freshman Team honors.

Marking its 15-year milestone during the 2009-10 season, Conference USA is still going strong. From the beginning, dedi-cation to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains today a common thread for a promising future. C-USA is home to 12 nationally prominent, tradition-rich members in East Carolina, Houston, Marshall, Mem-phis, Rice, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UCF and UTEP. This combi-nation enhances men’s and women’s programs that are immersed in athletic success and academic prowess. Together, we are committed to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities. All C-USA institutions sponsor Division I-A football, along with several other men’s and women’s athletic programs, many of which compete regularly for NCAA Championships. C-USA sponsors competition in 19 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and fi eld) and 10 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and fi eld and volleyball). The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Com-missioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of signifi cant community service ef-forts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport.

SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELD Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation.

lege World Series since sponsoring the sport in 2000

• Since 2004, Conference USA has sent 15 teams to the NCAA Softball Championship, highlighted by fi ve selections in 2004 and four in 2008

• Only fi ve programs have won C-USA Softball titles since the league began sponsoring the sport in 2000. Former league member DePaul won four straight titles from 2002-05, while Southern Miss

won the fi rst two league titles in 2000 and 2001. Tulsa was champion in 2006 after the league re-aligned and 2009, while Houston won in 2007 and UCF claimed the title in 2008.

• C-USA boasts 22 NFCA All-America selections since softball was commissioned by the league in 2000, led by Rachel Folden of Marshall’s three selections from 2006-08.

In addition, 32 volleyball teams, 46 men’s and women’s soccer teams and 22 softball teams have earned NCAA Tournament bids. C-USA has sent three men’s soccer teams to the NCAA College Cup, fi ve softball teams to the Women’s College World Series and three volleyball teams to the Sweet 16. The league has also had six national champions in NCAA track and fi eld competition, one national champion in diving and numerous NCAA individual and team competitors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and track and fi eld. Overall, Confer-ence USA teams and individuals have made more than 500 NCAA appearances.

SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in aca-demic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student popula-tion. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing fi eld as well. In 14 years, 130 student-athletes earned national ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors, while 461 were named All-District. In addition, more than 17,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys signifi cant television exposure through its partnerships with ESPN Inc. and CBS College Sports Television Networks. The league entered into long-term agreements with both ESPN and CBS College Sports, which, combined, provides C-USA with signifi cant national and regional exposure for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. Additionally, the CBS College Sports agreement includes video-on-demand, Internet, broadband, national over-the-air and satellite radio, and wireless distribution as well as corpo-rate marketing rights, and website production through CBS Interactive. The agreement with ESPN extends the conference’s current regular season football pack-age to include the broadcast of the conference’s Football Championship Game. It also encompasses distribution of men’s basketball and women’s basketball on ESPN/ESPN2 and both tournament championship games.

C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY The conference’s footprint is concentrated with 12 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. More than 1.1 million living alumni represent C-USA schools across the nation. With a renewed commitment to community involvement, the conference has begun development of several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communi-ties through volunteer service with local and national organizations.

GOVERNANCE Along with the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC, Conference USA is one of the seven confer-ences having signifi cant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors. R. Gerald Turner of SMU currently serves as chair of the Board.

A PROUD HISTORY; A PROMISING FUTURE Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter mem-bers included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to the current offi ce in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s fi rst commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. After celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2004-05 season, C-USA began a new chapter in 2005-06 when its current membership came together to form the new look of the league. Since its formation, C-USA has established a strong foundation, an identity and a history that refl ects the league’s national presence. Fourteen years of remark-able history has reinforced the league’s position in col-legiate athletics, setting the course for the next decade and beyond.

C. Johnson came aboard in February of

1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U

of M Tiger athletics into national prominence.

Over the last 13 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last six years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2009, a record-setting $7 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last six years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 14 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed back-to-back-to-back league championships in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that is currently underway, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 37 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative long-term contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. Last fall, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2008 and spring 2009, 335 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 12 had a 4.0 for the year and 20 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. Nine teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and for the last four straight semesters, the athletic department as a whole has maintained a 2.8 GPA . In May 2008, 44 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. Johnson came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Temple from 1994-1995. A long-time administrator, Johnson also served as an athletic director at Miami University (1988-1994) and Eastern Illinois (1980-88), and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. An native of Ottawa, Ill., Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

n 2010, the Tigers will play their third full season in

their $1.7 million Tiger Softball Complex on the University of

Memphis’ Park Avenue Campus on the corner of Park Avenue and Getwell Road. The natural grass outfield boasts spacious locker rooms and dugouts on each side of the base path. The dimension of the 275 capacity stadium are 200 to the right and left fields and 220 to center. Bullpens are found to the side of each dugout and a batting cage rests beyond the right field fence. The press box to the complex consists of two broadcast booths and two workroom areas. High speed wireless Internet is available for the working media. Spacious locker rooms behind each dugout were completed prior to the 2009 season. The bullpens were also upgraded before the 2010 season with field turf. Memphis officially dedicated its new stadium on Saturday, April 7, 2007, before the final contest of a three-game series with Tulsa. University of Memphis President Dr. Shirley C. Raines threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Kimmi Hayden in front of a full house. U of M Athletic Director R.C. Johnson and other school administrators were also in attendance, and the first 250 fans received a commemorative souvenir ticket. The Tigers began playing in the new facility on March 24, 2007, in a three-game series against Houston. In two seasons, Memphis has played 32 home games in the stadium and has a 20-12 record. The Tigers have averaged an attendance of 199 for the 19 dates at the Tiger Softball Complex. “This is huge for our program,” said Memphis head coach Windy Thees. “Having a place close to campus that is as beautiful as this place is wonderful. We’ve got the brick and the blue roofs. Everything about it screams Memphis and first class. Especially for recruiting purposes, having a place like this is going to make this program grow and grow.”

he University of Memphis athletic

training staff is second-to-none when it

comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury, rehabilitation and preventative care. With fully-staffed athletic training rooms located at the Murphy Athletic Complex, the Larry O. Finch Center and the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, Memphis student-athletes can be assured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of the Park Avenue Campus in 2003. The athletic training facility contains an in-ground aquatic rehabilitation pool, allowing athletic trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/her own body weight. The athletic training room also contains doctor examination rooms, storage areas and the latest in rehabilitation equipment. The athletic training staff uses a comprehensive approach to the injury care and wellness of student-athletes by utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in the care and prevention of injuries. The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualified and generous team doctors who are available to the many student-athletes at the University of Memphis. Dr. Barney Freeman, Dr. Fred Azar and Dr. Barry Phillips of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger football team, while Dr. Thomas Meriwether and Dr. Arthur Franklin serve as the team physicians. Tiger student-athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately-owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the finest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis student-athletes. The athletic training staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffing all practices and games as well as handling the day-to-day rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes. The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care for the injuries, but also to assist the student-athletes in preventing injuries from occurring.

n March 2002, vast improvements were

beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time,

Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous

10 years at Austin Peay State University. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two (which is now four) special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20 tutors, two academic interns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance/certification. The academic services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. Further detail about the services and programs offered by CAAS are found on the website, http://www.memphis.edu/caas/index.php. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last seven academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, the department semester GPA record has been set, and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious national academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. Ultimately, the goal of every student-athlete is to graduate. CAAS has continued to set records here as well as 44 student-athletes graduated in May, 2009, encompassing the largest-ever graduation group for the athletics department. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 23 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned grade-point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the student-athlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

hen the University of Memphis first fielded a

football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a

nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year. Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against the UCF.

onsidered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace

of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run

deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as

the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Also located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.
