8 IS GREAT Middle Tennessee picked up its eighth win in the regular season finale against UTEP to mark the first time since 1992 a Blue Raider team has had consecutive eight or more win seasons. It is just the fourth time in the FBS era (since 1999) MT has won eight or more games in a year. In 99 total seasons of football, this marks the 23rd time the Blue Raiders have collected eight or more wins.

BLUE RAIDERS BOWL HISTORY The Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl marks the eighth bowl Middle Tennessee has participated in during its football history but the fourth in the FBS era. The Blue Raiders faced Central Michigan in the 2006 Motor City Bowl (lost 31-14), then defeated Southern Miss (42-32) in the 2009 New Orleans Bowl to cap a 10-3 season. MT went to the 2011 GoDaddy.com Bowl where they fell to Miami, OH (35-21). Prior to the FBS era, the Blue Raiders competed in the 1956 Refrigerator Bowl, the 1960 and 1961 Tangerine Bowls, and the 1964 Grantland Rice Bowl.

THIS’N’THATn MT’s 31 turnovers forced this season ranks second most under Stockstill.

PERMANENT CAPTAINS Following the final regular season game, Blue Raider players voted on this year’s permanent captains. Head Coach Rick Stockstill announced that QB Logan Kilgore, OL Josh Walker, DT Jimmy Staten, and LB Craig Allen would serve as the 2013 permanent captains. This is the football program’s highest honor.

THE LAST FIVE During Middle Tennessee’s current five-game winning streak it has posted some impressive numbers. The Raiders are outscoring the opposition 42.6 to 21.6, outgaining their opponents 523.4 yards to 341.4 yards, have allowed just one sack, converted 51 percent on third down, and scored on 23 of 25 red zone chances.

COMEBACK KIDS In 2013, Middle Tennessee owns three fourth quarter comeback victories and another that was decided in overtime where it never trailed. MT hit a 40-yard field goal with 1:49 left to beat Memphis (17-15) then went to FAU and won in overtime. The Raiders won on the last play of the game against Marshall, then hit a field goal with :03 left to top UAB.

OFFENSE SHINING Despite a slow start, Middle Tennessee’s offense has enjoyed a productive 2013. The unit has posted 4,989 total yards which ranks as the fourth most in school history and stands just 494 yards shy of breaking the school record set in 2009. The offense has also scored 371 points to rank as the fifth highest total and is 46 points from a new school mark.

Bowl Notebook

OPPORTUNISTIC DEFENSE The Blue Raider defense has forced 31 turnovers that has led to 85 points, including 65 in league play. More importantly, the unit has scored five touchdowns (4 INT, 1 FR) which is the most in the FBS era (since 1999).

RUSHING RAIDERS Middle Tennessee’s rushing attack ranks 3rd in C-USA and 25th nationally at 208.3 yards per game. However, in conference action MT is averaging 236.2 yards rushing compared to 148.8 in non-conference play. The Raiders have topped 200 yards rushing in five straight games and seven for the season, while going over 300 yards twice.

FIVE FOR 100 For the first time in Middle Tennessee’s FBS era (since 1999), the Blue Raiders have had five different players top the 100-yard rushing mark in the same season. Jordan Parker, Reggie Whatley, Austin Grammer, Shane Tucker, and Jeremiah Bryson have all recorded at least one 100-yard game in 2013. In fact, the fivesome have totaled 10 games of 100 or more yards this season which is also a new FBS record for MT.

19 SCORES FOR DEFENSE With Kevin Byard’s 51-yard interception return for a touchdown against USM, the Blue Raiders have now scored 19 defensive touchdowns under Rick Stockstill and 14 have come since 2009. Of the 19 scores, 12 have been interceptions and seven have come by way of fumble returns.

SUSTAINED SCORING DRIVES Middle Tennessee has had 31 scoring drives this season of 70 or more yards which ranks as the most in the Rick Stockstill era. The previous high was 23 in 2009. The Blue Raiders enter the bowl game with five straight scoring drives of 70 or more yards, while 18 of their last 24 have been that distance.

LOOKING FOR 100 During its history, Middle Tennessee owns an impres-sive 150-52-1 (.741) record when a back gains 100 or more yards rushing. Under Rick Stockstill, a Blue Raider has reached the 100-yard mark 33 times and the team has a 28-5 mark in those games.

30 IS MAGIC Under Rick Stockstill, the Blue Raiders are 37-3 when scoring 30 points or more. The three losses came at Lou-isville in 2007 when the Blue Raiders fell, 58-42, at Troy in 2011, 38-35, and at home against WKU in 2011, 36-33 (2OT).

THE PICK MEN Middle Tennessee enters the bowl game ranked 27th nationally in total interceptions with 15. All 15 picks have been by eight different players. Overall, the Blue Raiders have 24 interceptions over their last 17 games.

90-YARD DRIVES The Blue Raiders have put together 16 scoring drives of 90 or more yards under Rick Stockstill. MT had four in 2011, and three each in 2012 and 2009. The longest drive was a 99 yarder in a 2007 win at Louisiana-Monroe. Nine have been engineered by Logan Kilgore.

TOP 10 SINGLE-SEASON RECORDS SET IN 2010

SACK MAN Middle Tennessee junior Leighton Gasque has spent his Blue Raider career playing on passing downs as an undersized defensive end. That has not slowed his produc-tion as the Hiram, GA, native has 16.0 career sacks to rank third all-time. He needs five more to pass Jamari Lattimore (20.5) for second.

TACKLING MACHINE Sophomore linebacker T.T. Barber enters the bowl game with 112 total tackles, which is the most by a Blue Raider since Cam Robinson collected 113 in 2009. Once he surpasses Robinson, his total will be the most since Nathaniel Claybrooks’ 118 in 1994. With at least seven stops against Navy, Barber’s total will be the most since Roosevelt Colvard had 120 in 1986.

CLASSROOM SUCCESS Under Rick Stockstill, the Blue Raiders have enjoyed unprecedented success on and off the field. Along with a strong APR of 983, the Blue Raiders have graduated 112 of 117 student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility. MT will also take the field against Navy with 17 student-athletes owning a degree. That figure ranks ted for fifth nationally (Alabama 28, Louisville 21, Nebraska 20, Arkansas State 20, MT 17, Baylor 17, Virginia Tech 17, Louisiana Tech 17)

LOGAN KILGORE NOTES n With 325 passing yards against UTEP, senior signal-caller Logan Kilgore became the first player in school his-tory to throw for 2,000 or more yards in three consecu-tive seasons. Kilgore had 2,231 yards in 2011, 2,571 yards in 2012 and now has 2,289 yards in 2013. n One of just four signal-callers in MT history to top 7,000 career yards, Kilgore currently has 7,631 yards to rank second on the all-time list and needs 376 more

yards to tie Wes Counts for the record (8,007). n With 325 passing yards against UTEP on 11/30/13, Kilgore recorded his 20th 200-yard passing game which is a Blue Raider career record. The previous mark of 18 was shared by Wes Counts and Clint Marks. n Kilgore has a career completion percentage of 61.1 and has a chance to become only the fourth quarterback in school history to finish above the 60 percent mark. n Kilgore’s completion percentage of .850 vs FIU this season (17-20) ranked as third-best in school history. n His four touchdown passes against Marshall was one shy of his career-high and tied for fourth on MT single-game list.

DNJ Sports Report

MURFREESBORO—One ofMTSU’s most productive quarter-

backs in program history did not

start a single game in high school and

began as a seventh-stringer in junior college.

Logan Kilgore said that early underdog role

helped spark his rise in the Blue Raider record

book, a climb that will end with the senior signal-

caller’s final home game on Saturday against

UTEP and a bowl game to follow.

“Look at all the situations and all the guys that

have come and gone since I’ve been here, and I

really wonder, ‘Were any of those guys ever not

the guy?’” Kilgore said. “When you wake up every

day from age 8 to the day you graduate high

school and you have been the starting quarter-

back your whole life, how do you handle it when

you go to college and you’re fifth on the depth

chart on day one?“I was seventh string the first day of junior

college. I have had setbacks my entire life, so I

knew how to fight for my job.”Kilgore’s 2010 spring arrival may have pressed

oneMTSU quarterback into transferring. He

THE RISE OF ANUNDERDOG

Kilgore defies odds,writes record book

MURFREESBORO—TheMTSUwomen’s basketballteam has played the nation’ssecond toughest schedulethrough the first two weeks of

the season.Through Sunday, the Lady

Raiders’ opponents boasted acombined record of 16-1 ingames not includingMTSU.

Are you serious?I think we all knew their

first four opponents – No. 4

Tennessee, at Miami, at Arkan-

sas and No. 7 Kentucky – were

going to be tough. But I’ll be

the first to admit I didn’t think

it would be the second hardest

opening stretch of all 343 Divi-

sion I teams.This early in the season, the

top spots in the strength ofschedule index are typicallyreserved for the “cupcakes”that get beat up by the Con-necticuts, Tennessees andStanfords of the world.

However, this isn’t the case

with MTSU. Far from it in fact.

So, if there’s one thing I’velearned about the Lady Raid-ers in the early going despite a

1-3 start, it’s the fact that they

are one tough breed.And what else have I

learned about the team before

the Thanksgiving holiday?Here are five other things that

have stood out in the first two-

and-a-half weeks of the season.

The case did notreachthedeskof theStateAttor-ney William Meggs until nearly11months after the alleged inci-dent, and only then after mediaoutlets made public records re-quests to view the case file fromtheTallahassee police.“Obviously it would havebeen somewhat better if we hadbeen involveda littlebit earlier,”Meggs said.Winston’s attorney Tim Jan-sen,who denied the allegation toUSATODAYSports,saidofWin-ston, “Hewas very happy. “I cansay he gaveme a hug.

MURFREESBORO — MTSU’sfootball teamwill learn its bowldestination this weekend.The result of Saturday’s Con-ference USA title game – Mar-shall at Rice – will help deter-mine which bowl gives a bid tothe Blue Raiders. The Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl (St.Petersburg, Fla.) orArmed ForcesBowl (Fort Worth,Texas) are the twolikely destinations.

There is also ascenario of swapsbetween ESPN-owned bowls that could sendMTSU south to the BBVA Com-pass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala.But with that bid possibly a con-sideration, an official announce-ment of MTSU’s bowl may notcomeuntil Sunday, following theBCS bowl bids and the ensuingtrickle-down effect among con-ferences.“We will be patient waitingfor this,” saidrunningbackJere-miah Bryson, a former SmyrnaHigh standout. “Last year wedidn’t get in a bowl, and now weknow we are in one of them. Weareblessed just toget toplay inabowl, and sowewill be finewait-ing this one out. Soonwewill seewhere this takes us next.”With an 8-4 record, MTSU isguaranteed one of ConferenceUSA’s six guaranteed bowl slotsor a comparable swap. Six fully-eligible C-USA teams finishedwith a winning overall record,earning precedence over 6-6

squads, per league rules.UT-SanAntonio is a seventh teamwith awinning record, but it can onlyaccept a bid if all other bowl-eli-gible teams are placed in a bowlbecause it is in its secondyear oftransition to the Football BowlSubdivision.But thisyear is certainlydif-ferent than a year ago, when an8-4 record in the Sun Belt Con-

ference was notenough and yield-ed a bowl snub.

“It feels greatto cap off our sen-ior year like wehave,” said senioroffensive guardJosh Walker. “Itfeels even better this time thanthe last time. This season, wehad to re-evaluate some thingsand answer some questions.But nowwehave somemomen-tum going into the bowl.There’s no doubt about that.”So the Blue Raiders will learntheir holiday destination soon.Theyhavealreadylearnedquiteabit this season through some upsanddowns.MTSUstarted3-1,suf-fered a three-game losing streaknear midseason, and then closedwith a five-gamewinning streak.“Weallwish our bowlwas an-nounced immediately, but wait-ing a little while longer will befine,” senior quarterback LoganKilgore said. “I hope this seniorclass gets what we deserves.Wherever we go it will be anamazing experience.”

NASHVILLE — No one willever know for sure just howclose Peyton Man-ning came to being aTitan.The pursuit of theformer University ofTennessee quarter-back in March 2012became a high-ener-gy endeavor whenownerBudAdamsor-dered the front officeand coaching staff into recruit-ing mode.

Ultimately, Manning chosetheBroncos over theTitans and49ers. He’ll face the Titans forthe first time since then on Sun-

day in Denver.In the spirit of the holidayseason, and “It’s a WonderfulLife” in particular, here’s a lookat just how things might havechanged in Tennes-see had Manningpicked the Titans:

Jake Lockerwouldn’t be oncrutches: The big-gest question aboutLocker over the pasttwo seasons: Is he in-jury prone? His 2012(shoulder) and 2013(foot) seasons were cut short,after all.Had Manning signed withthe Titans, Locker would be anuninjured backup learningfrom a future Hall of Famer.

Ryan Fitzpatrick would bewith the Bengals: Had the Ti-tans signed Manning, Fitzpat-rick would be backing up AndyDaltonwith theBengals insteadof starting for the Titansagainst the Broncos.Cincinnati was interested inFitzpatrick, buthe joined theTi-tans, who had cut Matt Hassel-beck.Chris Johnson wouldn’t bea Titan: The Titans would havematched, if not topped, the five-year, $96 million contract Man-ning signed with the Broncos.Adams wanted him that much.While the Titans probablywould’ve made it work withManning and their star running

INDIANAPOLIS—TheTitansare already in playoff mode.Win today at Indianapolis,and they can trim the AFCSouth lead to onegameandper-hapschasedowntheColts.Losetoday, and theTitanswill essen-tially be concedingthe division title.

It’s the last realchance Tennesseehas to make this arace.

“Us losing tothem the first time,we lost control ofthatsomewhatasfaras what they do,”coach Mike Munchak said. “Ifthey happen to slip up and losea couple more games, thenthatwouldbegreat ifwecouldwin our division. We’re justlooking at it as we can controlthe wild-card spot now, andthat’s winning five games.”

The timing couldn’t be bet-ter for the Titans (5-6), whoended a two-game losingstreakwith a last-minute rallyat Oakland to move into theAFC’sNo. 6playoff spot.Balti-more’s victory over Pitts-burgh on Thanksgiving tem-porarily boosted the Ravensinto that spot, butTennessee can grabit back with a win.

TheTitans faceafamiliar foe, whicherased a 17-6 half-time deficit to pullout a 30-27 victory.At the time, itlooked like Indy’swin would seal thedivision.

Indianapolis (7-4) is still incontrol, but after a 29-pointloss atArizonaand twoembar-rassing losses in three weeks,consternation has set in. Ner-vous fans are calling forchanges.

A YEAR OF SUCCESS The Blue Raiders started strong, had a tough stretch mid-way through the year, and closed strong with five consecutive wins. Along the way, they have seen a quarterback produce a record-setting career, a defensive back become the NCAA’s active career leader in interception return yards, a

linebacker rank among the nation’s top tacklers, and a 25-year old Marine grab national headlines.

Head Coach Rick Stockstill

Winning on the field, off the field and having a first-class football program from top to bottom is the goal of any University at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics. That is exactly what Middle Tennessee has as a result of the leadership of Head Coach Rick Stockstill. In his eighth season at the helm of the Blue Raid-ers, Stockstill has captured a league title, won the 2009 New Orleans Bowl, made four bowl appearances, been bowl eligible five times, earned two public recognition awards from the NCAA for APR suc-cess, appeared on television 69 times, produced six of the top eight crowds in Floyd Stadium his-tory, and had back-to-back eight-win seasons for the first time in 21 years. Under his watch, the Blue Raiders have also pro-duced five all-American’s, including one academic all-American, three defensive players of the year, and a bowl game MVP. Middle Tennessee also be-came the first Sun Belt team to win 10 games in a season, and set the Floyd Stadium single-game at-tendance record. He also has three NFL Draft picks with Erik Walden in 2008, Chris McCoy in 2010, and Rod Issac in 2011. After winning eight games in 2012 and being left out of a bowl game, Stockstill showed his bounce back ability once again by leading the Raiders to an-other eight-win season and a trip to the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces bowl. The Blue Raiders were among the

national leaders in turnovers gained (3rd), turnover margin (10th), fewest penalties (10th), fewest penalty yards (28th) and rushing (27th). Some regard the 2012 season as his best coaching job after leading the Blue Raiders to the nation’s biggest win improvement from the previous year. His seventh

MT squad went 8-4, won an FBS school record five road games, received votes in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll three straight weeks, and upset ACC Coastal Division

Champion Georgia Tech. Along the way, he produced a freshman all-American, eight all-conference players, and a national offensive player of the week. In 2010, Stockstill’s team battled back from a tough start to make back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history. The coach also had an Academic

All-American in Jeremy Kellem, the SBC Defensive Player of the Year in Jamari Lattimore, and a total of nine players who were recognized on the All-Conference team. The 2009 season was one for the record books as that squad accomplished what few believed pos-sible with an FBS-record 10 wins, a final ranking of 33rd nationally in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll, a bowl victory, a seven-game winning streak, the most Sun Belt victories in school history, five road victories, and a second straight undefeated month of November. It all resulted in Stockstill being named SBC Co-Coach of the Year and 11 players earning All-Conference honors, including co-Defensive Player of the Year Chris McCoy, who was taken in the 7th round of the NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. To top things off, quarterback Dwight Dasher earned New Orleans Bowl MVP

honors and became just the fourth player in NCAA history to pass for more than 2,500 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. Stockstill, who owns upsets over Maryland (2008

and 2009) and Georgia Tech (2012), has also shown a commitment to academics during his tenure. The Blue Raiders have gone from an APR score of 892 to a very impressive 983, the biggest increase of any program in the country. The Blue Raiders were also crowned with the Sun Belt Conference Academic Award on two occasions (2006-07, 2007-08) and earned two public recognition awards from the NCAA for APR success (2011, 2012). For his efforts, Stockstill was inducted as an honorary mem-ber into Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society in April 2010. After 24 years as an assistant, Stockstill was given the chance to run his own program, and all he did was lead the Blue Raiders to a 2006 Sun Belt Conference champi-onship, help set a new single-season attendance record, and take the program to its first postseason bowl game in the I-A era. Taking a Middle Tennessee team predicted to finish sixth in the Sun Belt during the preseason to a league title, Stockstill ended up as the 2006 Sun Belt

Conference Coach of the Year and the Tennessee Sports Writers Association Coach of the Year while also garner-ing that honor from ESPN.com. Stockstill’s teams have amassed the top four tackles for loss and quarterback sack totals in school history and has produced the conference’s top touchdown scorer twice. Individual players have 47 All-Conference honors and two Player of the Year Awards, and there have been four different National Player of the Week winners. During the 2006 championship run, Stockstill and his staff developed an All-American, 11 All-Conference play-ers, 11 SBC Player of the Week winners, a consensus Na-tional Defensive Player of the Week (Damon Nickson won the Walter Camp and the Bronco Nagurski awards), and the school’s all-time sacks leader (Erik Walden). Much of the team’s success was attributed to their play on the road that year; the Blue Raiders won four conference road games. Only 10 other teams nationally could stake that claim.

Along with his extensive background in collegiate coaching circles, the driven and determined Stockstill has had the advantage of working alongside some of the greatest minds in college football history. Stockstill, who made his way to Murfreesboro after spending the previous two years at South Carolina, has worked with legendary coaches Lou Holtz, Steve Spur-rier, Danny Ford, Tommy Bowden, Ken Hatfield, and Tommy West. Stockstill demonstrated the ability to develop and coach big-time players throughout his career as an assistant. He joined the Gamecock staff in December 2003 and immedi-ately made an impact in recruiting. Stockstill coached the Gamecock tight ends and served as recruiting coordinator in 2005 and was the wide receivers coach in 2004. Before joining Holtz’s staff at South Carolina, Stockstill was the offensive coordinator at East Carolina in 2003. In his first year at South Carolina, Stockstill coached

in the 2005 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings. In addition to his on-field coaching at Carolina, Stockstill coordinated the sign-ing of a top-20 recruiting class for the Gamecocks in his first season and was recognized as one of the top 25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com. From 1989 to 2002, Stockstill was on the coaching staff at Clemson, where he helped lead the Tigers to some of their most proficient offensive performances in school history. He served in a variety of capacities during his tenure with Clemson, working as recruiting coordinator, wide receivers coach, co-offensive coordinator, passing game coordinator, and quarter-backs coach. One of his prize pupils was All-America wide receiver Rod Gardner, who was the number 15 pick of the 2001 NFL Draft. Stockstill played an integral role in Clemson’s offense, which set more than 100 school records from 1998 to 2002. Stockstill is credited with recruiting Clemson’s all-time leading rusher (Ray-mond Priester), third all-time leading pass-er (Woodrow Dantzler), and number three and number four all-time leading receivers (Derrick Hamilton and Rod Gardner). As a coach, Stockstill has been a part of 16 bowl games, including three as a head coach. Stockstill also has coaching experience at the University of Central Florida (1985-88), where he tutored wide receiver Shawn Jefferson, who went on to a 13-year career in the NFL, and at Bethune-Cookman College (1983-84). Born Dec. 23, 1957 in Sidney, Ohio, Stockstill grew up in Georgetown, Ky., and then moved to Fernandina Beach, Fla., where he was inducted into the Fernan-dina Beach Hall of Fame in 2006. He was a three-year letterman at Florida State as a quarterback, where he was team captain and earned Honorable Mention All-America honors in 1981 under Coach Bobby Bowden. During his career at FSU, the Seminoles had two top-10 final As-sociated Press rankings and had wins over powers Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Ohio State, and Nebraska. Stockstill, who received his bachelor’s degree from FSU in 1982, made three bowl trips with the Seminoles. Stockstill and his wife, the former Sara Fleischman, have a son, Brent, and a daughter, Emily.

About MTSU Middle Tennessee State University, situated at the geographic center of the state in Mur-freesboro, is the oldest and largest institution in the Tennessee Board of Regents system. With an enrollment of about 24,000 students, it is the No. 1 choice of undergraduates in Tennessee.MTSU is also the No. 1 producer of graduates in the Tennessee Board of Regents system; the second-largest producer of graduates in the state among public universities; the No. 1 producer of adult (25 years old and older) and low-income (Pell Grant–eligible) graduates in the state; and the most efficient producer of graduates among the state’s public universities, helping more students reach their educational goals with fewer tax dollars. MTSU houses a wide variety of nationally recognized academic degree programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral levels. The University is composed of eight undergraduate colleges offering more than 40 departments and more than 140 degree programs. The College of Gradu-ate Studies offers more than 100 degree programs. MTSU has received regional, national, and international acclaim for a variety of programs and activities including distinc-tive offerings in programs as diverse as recording industry management, horse science, aerospace, and a first-of-its-kind academic program in concrete industry management. Many more traditional programs—agricultural science, nursing, accounting, and education, among others—are considered to be among the best in the region.On September 11, 1911, Middle Tennessee State Normal School opened as one of three teacher preparatory schools in the state of Tennessee. Today, MTSU is a Carnegie Doctoral Research Intensive University that occupies more than 1,000 acres in Rutherford County including a 500-acre main campus, an agricultural campus, an aerospace facility at the Murfreesboro Airport, and the Miller Horse Science Center. A 250,000-square-foot, $147 million Science Building, set to open by the 2015 spring semester, represents one of the most significant investments made by the state of Tennessee toward the enhancement of science and technology education. MTSU is one of just 108 colleges and universities recognized by the Chronicle of Higher Education for producing Fulbright scholars in 2012–2013, placing it alongside universities such as Duke, Harvard, and Yale. No other Tennessee institution made the list.

For the fourth year in a row, MTSU has been named a “military-friendly institution” by G.I. Jobs magazine and received a similar designa-tion in 2013 from Military Times. MTSU also has the state’s first federal VetSuccess on Campus program. In 2012, MTSU was the only institution of higher education in Tennessee to receive the Adult Learner Friendly Institution designation from the Coalition of Adult Learning Focused Institutions. All 17 MTSU athletics programs met or ex-ceeded multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) requirements. On July 1, 2013, MTSU moved to Conference USA from the Sun Belt Conference, in which it had won nine All-Sports trophies and more than 50 conference championships. MTSU athletics will benefit greatly from C-USA’s television partnerships, increased bowl tie-ins, and larger national footprint.

“I am True Blue” As we look to the future, MTSU is working to develop a community com-mitted tolearning, growth, and service. We hold these values dear, and there’s a simple phrase that conveys them: “I am True Blue.” New students at convocation take the True Blue Pledge. It underscores our core values of honesty and integrity; respect for diversity; engagement in the community; and committing to reason, not violence. Each time these words are repeated, they express not only the ideals the University wishes to share with its students but also our devotion to student success. True Blue stands for the very best of what Blue Raiders expect

from one another. The MTSU community has been overwhelmed by the passion and attachment that True Blue has received on campus since it was introduced at the August 2011

convocation exercises. The Student Government Associa-tion adopted it as its official motto and redesigned its seal to emphasize True Blue. The pledge was incorporated into numerous student events, rallies, and other activities. Find out more atwww.mtsu.edu/trueblue.

President l 13th Year l Prairie View, 1976 Dr. Sidney A. McPhee, the tenth president of Middle Tennessee State University, has presided over one of the most remarkable periods of growth and progress in the institution’s century of service. During McPhee’s presidency, which began in 2001, MTSU has become the largest undergraduate university in Tennessee and the No. 1 producer of graduates in the Ten-nessee Board of Regents system. MTSU is also the top desti-nation for transfer students in Tennessee, the

state’s veterans and boasts the state’s larg-est summer session enrollment. McPhee’s presidency also coincided with more than $400 million in improvements in academic, athletic and campus facilities – either proposed, under construction or com-peted – including the 250,000-square-foot, $147-million Science Building set to open in January 2015. Since his arrival, MTSU has been success-ful in raising admission standards, which resulted in an increase in enrollment of high-ability students. McPhee has overseen the addition of almost 30 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, two colleges (Be-havioral and Health Sciences and University College) and 12 institutes and centers. McPhee has also worked to strengthen MTSU’s international undergraduate and graduate student enrollment, expanded its study-abroad and cultural opportunities and developed research collaboration with inter-national partners. Prior to his arrival at MTSU, McPhee was executive vice chancellor for TBR. In addition, he served as the TBR’s chief academic officer and interim chancellor. McPhee also served in various senior-level administrative capacities at several major universities, including Oklahoma State University, University of Louis-ville and University of Memphis. McPhee is married to Elizabeth McPhee, and they have two adult children, Seneca and Sidney-Anthony.

McPhee earned his bachelor’s degree (with highest honors, summa cum laude) from Prairie View A&M University in Texas; a master’s degree from the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Fla.; and a doctorate in applied behavioral studies in education from Oklahoma State University. As an academician, his work has appeared in numerous local, national and interna-tional professional journals. His scholarly pursuits include international lectures and presentations in numerous countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Bel-gium, Canada, England, Brazil, Ethiopia and the Bahamas.

China Agricultural University in Beijing, one of the country’s top universities, awarded McPhee its highest academic award (Honorary Professor) in May 2007. He was appointed in October 2010 as senior advisor to the Chief Executive of Hanban-Confucius Institute Head-quarters in Beijing. A book of his photographic essays, China: Through the Eyes of An University President, published in July 2012, was released internationally. McPhee served a four-year term on the NCAA Di-vision I Board of Directors from 2003 to 2007 and a three-year term on its Executive Committee. In 2010, he was re-appointed to the NCAA board and executive committee as the Sun Belt Conference’s representa-tive, which concluded in 2013. McPhee was named Outstanding American Uni-versity President of 2002 by the American Football Foundation. In 2003, he was listed by Nashville Post business magazine as one of Tennessee’s 100 Most Powerful Individuals and, in 2004, he was ranked by Business Tennessee magazine as one of the state’s Top 50 Most Powerful African Americans. The Nash-ville Business Journal honored McPhee in 2013 with its Rutherford County Impact Award.

Director of Athletics l 9th Year l Northern Colorado, 1983 The landscape of college athletics has changed drastically over the past decade and that renovation also has been demonstrated at Middle Tennessee, particularly during the eight-plus years since Chris Massaro was named director of athletics on April 8, 2005. Proving to be a true visionary, Massaro has helped revolutionize the Blue Raiders’ ath-letic department while helping pave the way for even greater success in future years. With Massaro’s leadership that vision took an historical step on November 29, 2012 when the University accepted an invitation to join Conference USA. The Blue Raiders became official members on July 1, 2013. Along with growing the Middle Tennessee athletic program, Massaro has been instru-mental on numerous national boards and committees. He was appointed to the NCAA Foot-ball Issues Committee in March 2008, served as a member of the prestigious NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee for the 2010-11 season, and recently was appointed to the NCAA Division I Lead-ership Council. He is also currently the president of the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. Massaro, who spent 20 years at South Carolina prior to arriving at Middle Tennessee, has seen record numbers in fundraising during his tenure. Under his leadership, the athletic program raised $6 million dollars in private monies for the new baseball sta-dium; saw the largest unrestricted gift in athletic his-tory of $1 million by Jeff Hendrix, while also gaining a $500,000 gift from Ken Shipp for the new women’s basketball office suite. The Shipp gift is the largest in school history for women’s sports. Along with a 180 percent increase in the BRAA’s annual giving, Massaro has seen corporate sponsorships more than triple since his arrival. Since his arrival, Massaro has enhanced the Blue Raiders’ broad-based, 17-sport program. Among the ac-complishments included in the last eight-plus years: • TheAthleticDepartmentcapturedsevenSunBeltConference All-Sports Trophy’s. • TheBlueRaiderswere76thinthe2008-09NACDACup, the highest finish in school history, then turned in a 78th place showing in 2009-10. • Theathleticprogramhashadarecord46nationallytelevised events during his tenure. • MiddleTennessee’sfootballprogramhasappearedin four bowl games: the 2006 Motor City Bowl, the 2009 New Orleans Bowl, the 2011 Go-Daddy.com Bowl, and the 2013 Armed Forces Bowl. The Blue Raiders won the New Orleans Bowl and finished with a 10-3 record and a No. 33 national ranking. • Thewomen’svolleyballteamreachedtheSweet16forthefirsttimein2007andhasmade six NCAA appearances the last eight years. • Themen’sgolfteamhasmadefiveNCAARegionalappearancesinlastsixyears,in-cluding a trip to the NCAA Championships in 2008 to finish 15th nationally. • Themen’sbasketballprogramturnedinarecord27-7seasonin2011-12towintheSBCregular season title then followed that with a 28-6 mark and a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2012-13. • Thewomen’sbasketballteamhasmadetheNCAATournamentfivetimeswhilealsowinning four Sun Belt Conference tournament titles. The program has also produced the nation’s leading scorer three of the last six seasons. • TheMiddleTennessee tennis doubles teamofMarcoBorn andAndreas Siljestromwon the National Championship in 2007 – the first NCAA doubles title in Athletic Depart-ment history. • TheMiddleTennesseetrackteamshavecombinedforsixconferencetitles.The2007men’s outdoor squad finished No. 21 in the nation, and the 2009 women’s indoor team ranked tied for 30th.

• TheBlueRaiderbaseballteamcapturedtheregularseasonandtournamentchampi-onship in 2009 and advanced to the NCAAs. • Thewomen’ssoccerprogramwonthe2010SBCChampionshipandadvancedtotheirfirst NCAA Tournament. Massaro’s success at Middle Tennessee doesn’t stop with the athletic teams. There has been a tremendous track record for hiring quality coaches with head football coach Rick Stockstill, women’s head basketball coach Rick Insell, men’s golf coach Whit Turnbow, and men’s tennis coach Jimmy Borendame – all Massaro hires – each earning Sun Belt Coach of the Year in their first seasons. In all, Massaro’s guidance has provided coaches with the

resources to produce 38 conference titles, 33 NCAA team postseason appearances, two Sun Belt Conference Overall Athletes of the Year, and 26 Coach of the Year awards. Academic enhancement has also skyrocketed under Massaro’s leadership. Massaro, who was appointed to a panel on APR Improvement Plans for the 2007 NCAA Con-vention, inherited a football program with a national-low score of 812 and saw it increase to 990 (on a 1,000-point scale) in 2009. All 17 Middle Tennessee sports teams achieved passing marks of 930 or higher four their four-year average through 2011-12 and seven teams turned in a perfect mark of 1,000 in 2011-12. Football and men’s golf have each been recognized publicly by the NCAA for APR success. Facility upgrades also have been at the top of Mas-saro’s impressive list of accomplishments. He completed a $6 million capital campaign for the new baseball sta-dium and initiated a series of major renovations to ex-isting athletic facilities during the previous seven years, including a state-of-the-art soccer and track complex, a state-of-the-art golf performance center, and the Ken Shipp Women’s Basketball Office suite. Most re-cently, construction was completed on the new Jeff Hendrix Stadium Club in time for the 2012 season and a new Indoor Tennis Facility had a ground breaking on Oct. 28, 2013. In the midst of numerous upgrades, Massaro also has initiated generous contributions that made it possible to install a new synthetic surface in Floyd Stadium for the 2006 season. Additionally, new videoboards –

one for football and two inside Murphy Center – were installed in 2007 and a new fence around the entire stadium was put in place in 2011. Massaro has also made a significant upgrade in the Blue Raider football schedule since his arrival. He brought Virginia out of the ACC to Floyd Stadium in 2007 and then inked Maryland to play in Murfreesboro in 2008. In 2009, Massaro had Mississippi State come to Floyd Stadium to make them the first SEC program to play in a Sun Belt stadium and the Blue Raiders entertained Georgia Tech in 2011. Future schedules will see the Blue Raiders playing home games against BYU (2014) and Vanderbilt (2015, 2017). The Glenwood Springs, Colo., native joined the South Carolina staff under the Ohio Uni-versity sport administration program in 1985. Massaro earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Northern Colorado in 1983 and his master’s degree in sport administration from Ohio University in 1986. At UNC, Massaro was a five-year football team member. Massaro is also heavily involved in community service projects and organizations. He is a member of the Red Cross Board, the City Golf Commission and the Rutherford County Sports Council Executive Committee, and he served on the search committee for the Ruth-erford County Chamber of Commerce president. Massaro and his wife, Cindy, have four children: Hank, Lainey, Rachel, and Ben.

Bowls/ Bowl Superlatives1956 Refrigerator Bowl

Evansville, INSam Houston 27, Middle Tennessee 13

Evansville, IN - The Blue Raiders carried an OVC championship and a 7-2 record into the first bowl game in the school’s history, but the occasion was ruined by a powerful Sam Houston team. Led by Little All-American fullback Terry Sweeney, the Blue Raiders amassed 290 yards of total offense but mistakes killed their hopes for a win. The Blue Raiders lost a total of four fumbles while Sam Houston had just one miscue in the hard-fought contest.

1960 Tangerine BowlOrlando, FL

Middle Tennessee 21, Presbyterian 12Orlando, FL - Before the bewildering eyes of 12,500 (largest crowd ever at the time), and against a well-balanced Presbyterian team, the Blue Raiders galloped far and wide for a 21-12 win in the 14th annual Tangerine Bowl classic. Called by some as the best played bowl game on the New Year’s schedule, the Blue Raiders almost made a rout of it in the first half, but some fancy manuvering by the Blue Hose, kept them in the game. Bucky Pitts scored two touchdowns, one on a beautiful punt return, to pace the Blue Raiders to their first bowl win in school history. Pitts, the little speedster from Fayetteville, had 59 yards in nine rushes to lead a Blue Raider infantry attack that ground out 240 yards. MT built a 14-6 halftime lead then had to stave off a tremendous rally led by Presbyterian quarterback Bob Waters, later of the San Francisco 49ers.

1961 Tangerine BowlOrlando, FL

Lamar Tech 21, Middle Tennessee 14Orlando, FL - Making their second Tangerine Bowl appearance in three seasons, the Blue Raiders fell to another bunch of tough Texans. It was an even battle for nearly the entire game then a freak play decided the issue. A Lamar field goal attempt fell short of the mark but was inadvertently touched by a Blue Raider and a Tech player fell on it in the end zone for a touchdown.

1964 Grantland Rice BowlMurfreesboro, TN

Middle Tennessee 20, Muskingum 0Murfreesboro, TN - A rugged defense paced the OVC champion Blue Raiders to a 20-0 win in the first Grantland Rice Bowl ever played. The site was MT’s own Horace Jones Field. The Blue Raider defense held Muskingum to only 72 yards in total offense and scored a touchdown on a 99-yard fumble return by end Ray Neal with only 44 seconds left in the game. It also marked the final collegiate game as a player for longtime Blue Raider coach Boots Donnelly. Middle Tennessee opened the scoring in the first quarter when David Petty scored on a 1-yard run to make it 7-0. The teams both went scoreless in the second and third quarter before the Blue Raiders broke it open in the fourth. Teddy Morris ran five yards for a touchdown to make it 14-0 before Neal put up the final points with his intercepted fumble return. Morris finished 10 for 18 in the passing department for 142 yards, while Bob Hlodan paced the ground attack with 110 yards on 19 carries. Hlodan went on to be named the game’s Most Valuable Player.
