2004-05 MEMPHIS COlf MEDIA CUIDE

2004-05 OUTLOOK Year two of head coach Grant Robbins' tenure at Memphis got underway in the fall of 2004 and if the fall p -ji results are any indication, the Tigers could be headed for a breakout spring season. Despite returning only four lettermen from last year while losing six, the Tigers have already won more tournaments just in the fall season this year than in any other past season, setting the stage for what should be an exciting spring.

The three wins by the team during the fall season also featured three different individual medalists for the Tigers. Two of those medalists are newcomers, as are at least three and possibly up to four of the players that will make up the starting lineup for the Tigers this spring.

The Team Freshman Keven Fortin-Simard played in the #1 position for all four of the Tigers' fall tournaments and is expected to compete for the same position for the spring. He comes to Memphis by way of Roberval, Quebec, where he was one of the top junior golfers in Canada. Before coming to Memphis this past fall, he won the Quebec Junior Amateur and finished second at the Canadian National Junior. He got his collegiate career off to a rousing start as he won the individual medal in his first collegiate tournament, the Radrick Farms Intercollegiate in Ann Arbor, Mich., and also helped lead Memphis to a share of the championship. In .. that tournament, he was the only player to shoot below par in all three rounds. His 71.7 stroke average led the Tigers for the fall and he put together five sub-par rounds, including two sub-70 rounds. He finished in the top 10 in three of Memphis' four fall tournaments.

Justin Miers

Another freshman who has made an early impact and is expected to start anywhere from the #2-4 positions is Andy Shiels. A native of Rockford, 111., Shiels was an American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) AilAmerican and a three-time all-state golfer at Rockford Boylan High School. He had two top 10 finishes this past fall for the Tigers, including an individual medal at the Missouri Bluff Challenge in St. Charles, Mo. There, he shot a final

round 65, the lowest round for a Memphis individual in the fall season, and just one stroke shy of tying a school record. His 54-hole score was also the lowest for a Tiger individual over the fall and set a school record for fewest strokes over 54 holes.

The only returnee who was in the starting lineup for all four fall tournaments and one of just four returnees from last year, senior Allan Thomas was in the #2 position for the fall and is expected to be in the same position in the spring. After a bit of a rough start in his first tournament, Thomas rebounded by winning the Hillman Robbins Trophy as the individual medalist at the Memphis Intercollegiate, the lone home tournament for the Tigers this year. The Conway, Ark.

'

m Keven Fortin-Simard

native shot a final round 67 in the event and was the only player to shoot under par for the tournament in winning his first ever individual medal. He also had another top five finish in Missouri over the fall and ended the fall season playing some of the best golf of his career. The most experienced player on the team and the lone senior, Thomas was a Cleveland Golf All-American Scholar recipient last year and averaged 72.7 strokes per round last year.

The third newcomer that played in the top four this past fall and should do the same in the spring is junior transfer Justin Miers. Originally from Brentwood, Tenn., Miers attended Middle Tennessee State before doing a stint in the U.S. Armed Forces. A walk-on, he made an immediate impact with the Tigers during the fall as he developed a reputation as a consistent golfer that usually shoots around par. A starter in all four tournaments, he averaged 72.9 strokes per round.

Three different players saw time at the #5 spot over the fall and the battle for that spot figures to continue over the course of the spring season. Junior Clayton Ellis played at #5 in two of Memphis' four fall tournaments while freshmen Robbie Greenwell and Ian Rochester each saw time at #5 in one event apiece. Rochester, Ellis, and Greenwell finished 5th, 6th, and 7th, respectively, in stroke average over the fall. Rochester, who is one of four natives of Tennessee on the team, averaged a 75.5 per round, which included a low round of 71 at the Landfall Tradition.

The Cordova native averaged a 72 in the second round of his fall

2004-05 OUTLOOK tournaments. Ellis owns a career low round of 68 that he shot last year and had two top 20 finishes last year as a * sophomore. Over the fall, the Memphis native and White Station High product averaged a 76.4 in each round.

Greenwell made his collegiate debut in the Memphis Intercollegiate and averaged a 77.3 in his three rounds at the Colonial Country Club. He is one of three Canadians on the team this year and finished first at last year's Ontario High School Championships.

Looking to break into the top five will be a trio of players that round out the team. Gavin £.„ Aldridge, a native of Ontario and a high school teammate of Greenwell, shot a career low 66 this past summer before coming to Memphis and played as an individual at the Memphis Intercollegiate in his colles-^, giate debut, shooting a f low round of 76 in the second round of the event. Sophomore Lewis Clarke and junior Mike Regenold round out the quartet of returnees on the team. Clarke, a sophomore out of Exeter, ; yjl England, averaged a 76.4 per JH' if. '"••-: round last year as a freshman and -°1 a 77.7 in his lone appearance of \ the fall as an individual. His AndyShtels '•• career low round is a 72.

Regenold is in his fourth year as a member of the Tigers after redshirting his freshman year. He played in three tournaments last year and owns a career best round of 72, which he shot last year.

Schedule Memphis begins the spring season with a trip to Houston, Texas to take part in the Rice Intercollegiate on February 7-8. The 15-team field will feature eight schools from the State of Texas as well as Conference USA foe DePaul. The tournament will take place at the Wildcat Golf Course, which is located just a few miles south of Reliant Stadium and the Astrodome outside the city.

The Tigers will then take nearly a month off before heading to the island of St. Croix in the Virgin Islands to participate in the St. Croix Collegiate Classic, hosted by Xavier. It will be the fourth tournament of the year that Memphis will be competing

•E

against the Musketeers, who finished second to the Tigers in the Memphis Intercollegiate. The 17-team field will also feature Wisconsin, who tied with Memphis for first place at the Radrick Farms Intercollegiate back in September, and Miami (Ohio), who the Tigers rallied past on the final day of the Missouri Bluffs Challenge to win that tournament in October.

One week after the St. Croix tournament, Memphis will make a shorter trip down to Tuscaloosa, Ala., for the Conrad Rehling Invitational hosted by Alabama.

Memphis heads further south once again after a two-week layoff following the tournament in Tuscaloosa to play in the LSU Spring Invitational in Baton Rouge, La. The 17-team field is the largest tournament in terms of number of teams that the Tigers will play in this year, excluding any possible postAllan Thomas season action. The LSU Spring Invitational features SEC teams LSU and Mississippi State, Conference USA members Charlotte, Southern Miss, Tulane, and USF, as well as UCF and Xavier, who both battled with the Tigers for first place at the Memphis Intercollegiate back in October.

The final tournament for the Tigers prior to the Conference USA championships will send Memphis back to the State of Alabama, this time to Auburn for the Billy Hitchcock Intercollegiate, hosted by another group of Tigers. The 12-team event features a pair of teams that will enter the spring season ranked in the top 25 in Auburn and Georgia State, as well as regional foes Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

This season's Conference USA championship will be held at The Grand Bear in Gulfport, Miss., a Jack Nicklausdesigned course. Southern Miss will be the host for the tournament.

This year's NCAA Regionals will be held in Nashville, Tenn., South Bend, Ind., and Stanford, Calif, with the NCAA Championship being held in Baltimore, Md.

Grant Robbins Memphis, 1994 Now entering his second season as head coach at his alma mater, Grant Robbins is well on his way toward building the Memphis golf program into both a regionally and nationally recognized program. Robbins, who was hired as head coach in January of 2003, previously built a nationally recognized program at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.

Robbins, a 1994 graduate of Memphis where he was a three-time all-conference selection, replaced his former coach Jim Cook, who unexpectedly passed away in November of 2002. This past fall, Robbins led the Tigers to three tournament victories in four starts, which is already the most first-place finishes in a single year in school history with the entire spring season still ahead.

Last year, Robbins led Memphis to four top five finishes in its 10 tournaments, including a first-place finish (out of 15 teams) at the Matlock Collegiate Classic in Lakeland, Fla., last February. He also led Memphis to third, fourth, and fifth place finishes in three separate tournaments and the Tigers also won a dual match against Mississippi State on the Bulldogs' home course. Memphis individuals had seven top five finishes in last season's tournaments and both David Jeans and Alan Weant were named AllConference USA. Prior to his arrival at Memphis, Robbins served for four years as head coach at UNC-Wilmington and built the Seahawk program into a national contender. His teams won 11 tournament titles in his time on the Atlantic coast, including four events in his final year there, 2002-03. His teams placed in the top three in 28 events and he led the Seahawks to their first-ever NCAA Tournament bid in 2003. He also coached one NCAA individual participant. One of the young up-and-coming coaches in collegiate golf, Robbins was named the 2001 Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year in just his second year at UNCW. During his time in Wilmington, he coached one CAA Player of the Year, two CAA Rookies of the Year and 13 all-CAA players.

Seven different players were individual medalists in 10 tournaments under Robbins' guidance in his four years.

Before taking the post at UNCW, Robbins coached for two years as an assistant at Penn State University. While there he helped the Nittany Lions advance to a pair of NCAA East Regionals in both 1998 and 1999. Robbins assisted in all facets of the PSU program and served as the recruiting coordinator. He was also the tournament director of the The Rutherford Intercollegiate

Head Coach Second Season and was an instructor for the Penn State Golf Camps.

Robbins played on three different professional golf tours following his graduation from Memphis. He put in time on the North Florida PGA Winter Tour (1994-95), the Tommy Armour Professional Golf Tour (1994-95), and the Tour America MidSouth Professional Golf Tour (1995).

A Memphis native, Robbins was a four-year member of the Tiger golf team from 1990-94. He was a four-year letterman and also served as a team captain in both his junior and senior seasons. He was an all-Great Midwest Conference team selection three times and was also a recipient of the Jake Fondern Golf Scholarship.

During his senior season at the 1994 Vanderbilt/Music City Intercollegiate, Robbins tied for what was then the second-lowest single round in school history when he shot a six-under 66. That mark is now tied for the third-lowest round in school history after freshman Andy Shiels fired a six-under 65 in the Missouri Bluffs Challenge this past fall. The school record for a single round is 64.

He holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Memphis, earning his undergraduate degree in 1994 and his graduate degree in 1997 after returning from playing professionally. He is currently an instructor at the Jerry Haas Golf Camp at Wake Forest University and the Duke University Golf School. He has also served as an instructor at the Pine Needles Youth Golfari in Southern Pines, North Carolina, the Penn State Nittany Lion Golf Camp and the Fighting Scot Golf Camp in Wooster, Ohio.

Robbins and his wife Andria, are enjoying their third year of marriage.

Bob Crenshaw and Dick Holley were added to the team and Bill Permenter won the Tennessee state individual title and Bill Cheek captured the Memphis city championship.

1951-60 - Larry Smith became the head golf coach at The University of Memphis in 1950-51 and immediately added Hillman Robbins, the state of Tennessee junior championship, to the Tiger roster. Robbins earned the number one spot on the team as a freshman and went on to win the Tennessee Intercollegiate Athletic Conference crown and the Southern Intercollegiate.

- Ron Wenzler was signed for 195152 and joined Wray Williams, Jimmy Wade, Mike Flanagan, Bobby Mitchell, Rodney Scarbrough and Robbins to give the Tigers another championship team. Robbins, playing in the number one position, won the Colonial Invitational, the Memphis City championship and the Southern Intercollegiate. The team fin-

ished with an 8-1-1 record under the direction of coach Smith.

- In 1953-54, the Tigers continued to pile up victories in match play. Hillman Robbins won the Colonial Invitational for the third consecutive year.

- In the beginning of just his second year as head coach, Robbins led the Tigers to three tournament wins during the fall of 2004, as Memphis rallied from behind in all three wins. It is the first time in school history that the Tigers won as many as three tournaments in a season. In all three wins, Memphis also had the individual medalist, as three different Tigers won individual titles in the three wins.

Young Team, New Coach Ready to Shine

s

hortly after taking the women's golf head coach position, Jenny Bruun told her players, "You will all graduate with the same coach." After several changes in the program during the last couple of years, these words gave assurance to a group of young athletes. Not one of the eight women in the program has been at the school for longer than a year.

"I think that give them a little bit of comfort," Bruun said. "I am going to be here. There is some stability. They feel like they can count on me, that I'm not going anywhere."

After making its last appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2001-02 and after four coaching changes in four years, the University of Memphis women's golf team is ready to begin a new era of excellence.

The L a d y Tigers h a v e received six NCAA bids over the last nine years, but have gone two-straight years without an invite. But B r u u n Meghan hopes that Mahoney a return is So. in the future.

I think as a whole we are just trying to stick together and make this happen and

become one of the best teams in the nation," Bruun said. "Hopefully by the end of this year we are in the top 30.

That's something we talk about a lot.

You're not always going to be great at everything, but if we can practice our weaknesses, we can be better at those things. That's the difference between an average team and a great team."

Coach Bruun Bruun replaced Sheryl Maize at the helm of the Lady Tiger program this year after spending the past two seasons as the assistant golf coach at Campbell University. At Campbell, the former University of Minnesota standout helped the men's and women's golf teams to four tournament victories, including the 2004 Atlantic Sun Women's Championship. The 2004 women's team qualified for its secondstraight NCAA Regional, finishing 14th in the team competition and having an individual golfer finish 12th overall.

A three-year starter on the Golden Gopher golf team, Bruun played in 32

events during her collegiate career. She earned Minnesota's Patty Berg Academic Award in each of her four years and was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. She was the team's low player in four tournaments in 2001, including the NCAA Central Regional.

Named Minnesota's Outstanding Female Athlete in 2001, Bruun earned her B.S. in kinesiology that same year before graduating from Minnesota with a M.Ed, in physical education in July of 2002.

In her first head coaching position, Bruun hopes to turn things around for the Lady Tigers and get the program back onto the winning traditions path that Memphis has become accustomed to recently.

"Moving forward is a big focus," Bruun said. "We host the conference championship this year, and so a main focus for us right now is getting things back on track. Last year was a little bit of a struggle. Everyday, I say it's a clean slate. Let's move forward."

2004-05 SEASON OUTLOOK :

The Team Although the Lady Tigers only lost one player from last season, the team is young. All five returning players are sophomores this season. Sophomores Kathryn O'Rourke and Meghan Mahoney lead the list of returning players. Both played in all eight tournaments in 2003-04 and all five tournaments in the fall of 2004.

"I really feel Meghan and Kathryn are going to be my leaders this year," Bruun said. "They're pretty young, but there's not a doubt in my mind that they want to lead this team. They want to bring us to the top and help their teammates become better."

O'Rourke and Mahoney join sophomores Cameron Barber, Ashley Burross and Christy Hull from last year's team. All five have tournament experience from last season.

Although Bruun didn't join the Lady Tigers until June 2004, she still managed to bring in two of the three newcomers. Freshman Ashleigh Garman had already signed her national letter of intent before Bruun signed her contract, but sophomore transfer Stacey Tate and junior transfer Bernie Rosero were brought in by Bruun.

Sophomore Kathryn O'Rourke tees off at the Lady Paladin Invitational in Greenville, S.C. on Oct. 2224, 2004. O'Rourke led the team at the tournament with a 70-77-78.

"It was a last minute thing, but I was able to get them in here, and they were ready to play," Bruun said.

The 2004-05 lineup includes eight women from three different countries; United States, Ecuador and New Zealand. All six players from the United States come from different states-Colorado, Arizona, Nebraska, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee-while Bruun hails from Minnesota.

"Being a state school, I'd love being represented and having the majority of my team being from the state of Tennessee," Bruun said. "But you have to go where the talent is. Sometimes it's not all from the same state so you have to be creative and just hope they like what they see and they want to be a part of your program. That's what has happened in the last couple of years. There has ' just been one from everywhere."

Although the team is diverse, Bruun said the chemistry of the team is amazing.

"From a coaching standpoint, I couldn't have better team chemistry than I have right now," Bruun said.

"Everyone as a group has a really good attitude, and I think that's important with how everyone gets along and is supportive of one another. It's a team effort. It is an individual sport, but you still have to cheer the team on even if you're not traveling with the team."

Memphis Hosts C-USA Tourney The Lady Tigers will host the 2005 Conference USA Championships at the Germantown Country Club on April 18-20. It will mark the first time Memphis has hosted the CUS A women's golf tournament. Last year Memphis finished eighth out of nine teams in the tournament with a 344-348337, but Bruun said hosting the tournament gives the Lady Tigers a tremendous opportunity to turn things around.

"I really think the best team is going to win," Bruun said. "It's a very tight course, a long course, and the greens are tricky. It's going to be a huge advantage for us to know those greens as well as we do. I look for us to definitely finish in the top three and make a run for that title. We're all playing well, and we have a great shot at winning it."

Bernie gained a lot of experience from Tyler Junior College.

She has a great golf swing, and her short game is her strength.

She's long off the tee and is just a fun player to watch. When she's relaxed, she can beat many people. Confidence is the biggest thing keeping her back right now. She knows she's a good player. It's just getting a couple rounds on the road behind her. She might be a slow starter, but I truly think by the middle of our season she'll be one of our top players.

Ashley has so much talent and I can't wait for her to believe this. She hits the ball so solidly. We just have to get her misses a little bit better. Golf is all about your good misses. You're not going to hit every shot perfect. We're trying to increase her length a little off the tee which will also give her a huge advantage.

Christy is pretty new to golf, but she is such an exceptional athlete. She's one of those people that when something clicks in her golf swing, and we're getting close, it's going to be exciting. She's a couple years behind as far as competitive golf compared to the other girls on the team, but she is working hard to get to a competitive level.

Meghan has one of the finest go// swings I've ever seen in college golf. She expects a lot out of herself, and golf is important to her. She's a great player, a great athlete. She's one of those people you can have do any physical activity and they're going to be good at it. She has a great attitude and is fun to be around. If we can get her short game a little bit better and help her to make a few more putts, she's going to have an awesome year.

Kathryn is very competitive. She doesn't like to lose, and I really like that about her. She gives her all on every shot she takes.

She'll never take a shot without totally feeling comfortable over the ball and that's huge. There are not a lot of players that will step away if they're not comfortable. Kathryn is just a great team player. She's very supportive of her teammates.She's probably my most consistent player. She has a wonderful attitude.

Stacey has a solid all-around game. There's not a lot of players that can say that. At practice, I can ask her to hit a very difficult shot, and she makes the shot. We're just working a lot on her consistency and making more putts on average. She's not scared to work hard. She's just a joy to work with and is a great addition to our team.

MUST TEE PROGRAM

Lady Tigers Introduce Children to the Game of Golf he University of Memphis Lady Tiger golf team has become very involved in giving back to the Memphis community through The First Tee Program. The program, which was started nationally seven years ago, is designed is introduce children from all backgrounds to the game of golf.

The mission of The First Tee Program is to impact the lives of young people around the world by creating affordable and accessible golf facilities to primarily serve those who have not previously had exposure to the game and its positive values.

Along with establishing an initial goal of having 100 golf-learning facilities in some form of development by the end of the year 2000, The First Tee Program realized that there existed a larger opportunity than just teaching the game of golf. The primary objectives began to evolve around providing young people of all backgrounds an opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values such as honesty, integrity and sportsmanship.

CONFERENCES

i r-

.5., Conference USA celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2004-05. A sig. jiificant milestone for the league, the 10th year finds the conference *J preparing to embark on a new era in its already remarkable history.

Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP will j oin East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, Southern Miss, Tulane and UAB in a 12-team con" ference with competition beginning in 2005-06. Current members Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette and USF will become members of the BIG EAST, while TCU goes to the Mountain West and Charlotte and Saint Louis will join the Atlantic 10 at the end of this season. The membership changes have given C-USA the opportunity to play a pivotal role in the changing face of conference affiliations and will reinforce the league's position in collegiate athletics for years to come.

"We are excited about adding new members and making structural improvements to Conference USA," Banowsky said. "This is an opportunity for us to tighten our geography, group similar institutions together, create a divisional model, and possibly stage a football championship game. It will be very exciting to watch this league grow and develop."

The conference headquarters moves from Chicago to the Las Colinas area in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in June 2004.

With a promising future ahead, there is plenty for the league to celebrate from its first nine years. After its formation in 1995, hailed as a bold move in the world on intercollegiate sports, C-USA established a strong foundation while quickly earning a reputation of successfully competing at the highest levels of intercollegiate athletics. Capitalizing on the strengths of its 15 distinguished and diverse universities, Conference USA quickly emerged as one of the nation's top conferences.

A PROUD HISTORY; A STRONG IDENTITY The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24, 1995 in Chicago.

nsidered the Home of the Blues and ie Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll, the city of temphis' 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 afterthe capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1,000,000 residents while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town.

Downtown Memphis is in the midst of a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which is transforming the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects has been the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals' Triple-A club. The new 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. Another sports venue added to the Memphis skyline will be the FedExForum, slated to open in the Fall of 2004. The FedExForum will be home to the NBA Grizzlies and the University of Memphis Men's Baskelball teams. Located adjacent to world famous Beale Street, the FedExForum will serve as a multipurpose arena.

Downtown is served by the Main Street Trolley. The trolley system, which first opened in April of 1993, currently consists of the Main Street Line which passes near such Memphis landmarks as Beale Street, the Pinch District, Court Square and the National Civil Rights Museum. The Riverfront Loop includes a station in front of The Pyramid and offers riders a unique vista of the Mississippi River.

Memphis musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor "Boss" Crump called "Boss Crump Blues" and later published as 'The Memphis Blues." The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and B.B. King.

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. From B.B. King's to the Daisy Theatre, from Hard Rock Cafe to Pat O'Briens and the Rum Boogie Cafe, Beale Street has something to offer for everyone.

Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long musical festival 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.

Located just off Beale Street is the Peabody Place Retail and Entertainment Center which opened in 2002. The 300,000 square foot re-

tail complex offers visitors a one-stop-shop for fun and excitement with a unique mix of entertainment, dining and shopping options unlike anything else in the region. The complex features a 22-screen movie theater and 3D IMAX as well as several theme restaurants, including Jillian's, which is a multi-dimensional entertainment venue complete with a bowling alley, billiards, a sports video cafe', and more than 150 electronic stimulation games.

Also located within a block of Beale Street is Gibson Guitar Memphis which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Also on the same property is the Smithsonian's Rock *n' Soul Museum which includes artifacts documenting music's past.

Memphis' musical roots also includes Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studios.

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. The Stax Museum reopened on it's original location at McLamore and Crump in the summer of 2003 and offers visitors a complete history of 'Soulsville USA". * 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 Pickens 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 America after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year.

Also located downtown is the refurbished Orpheum Theater which serves as a venue for. ^ performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling broadway shows as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts.

Highlights of the 2003 Orpheum shows included the broadway hit The Lion King, a sold-out Nora Jones concert, The Producers and RENT. Downtown Memphis also hosted the KIX106 Country on Beale Music Series in the summer of 2004.

The city's location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting in 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 in the world. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.

Memphis is also a twice daily stop by Amtrak's City of New Orleans which runs from Chicago to New Orleans.

Both the men's and women's soccer teams have access to and play some matches at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. The facility, which is privately managed and operated, sits on 136.17 acres and was designed to accomodate exhibition games, tournaments, special events, camps and clinics. There are 16 fields which have Bermuda grass and an underground drainage system. Completed most recently is the stadium which features more than 5,000 seats and is the host to Tiger soccer.

The stadium facility also includes showers, lockerrooms, a food court, a retail store, full media services, administrative offices, Trophy Suites and a conference room.

The Mike Rose Soccer Complex was the host site of the 2003 C-USA Men's Soccer Championship. Matches not played at Mike Rose are played on campus at Echles Field. The 900-seat facility is located adjacent to the Health Physical Education and Recreation Building and received a $20,000 facelift in the summer of 1992.

The renovations include a new electronic Scoreboard, concrete slabs for bleachers, and the purchase of additional seats.

The men's and women's tennis teams host their opponents on the HMSE courts located just two blocks from the Athletic Office Building. There are 21 laykold-surfaced courts, allowing the Tiger tennis teams to host multi-team tournaments. The courts received some much-needed renovation in 2000. Concrete was poured underneath the lower courts, while the remaining courts were resurfaced. The light poles and the courts were painted blue and gray, and new windscreens were installed that announce the facility as the "home of Tiger and Lady Tiger Tennis." In 2001 a blue and gray awning over the fan seating area, and white awnings which cover player seating during changeovers were added. The facility hosted the 2004 Conference USA Men's Tennis Championship and hosts the Varsity Pro Shop Women's Fall Invitational each October.

Services Dr. Joe Luckey is in his third year as the Director of Athletic Academic Services. He and his staff of counselors and tutors are instrumental in the success of V of M studentathletes in the classroom.

A native of Cincinnati, Luckey came to The U of M from Austin Peay St. where he served as assistant athletics director for academic services since 1996. In that capacity, he advised and counseled more than 200 athletes in 15 sports, monitoring their academic progress and eligibility with the goal of making sure each one graduated. He also DR TOE served as supervisor of the Student Athlete Advisory Council, a forum for student athletes ' to express their opinions and voice their concerns. ''."."' ' Luckey received the 1999 Lan Hewlett Award for outstanding performance as an Director academic athletics advisor.

A graduate of the University of Dayton, Luckey earned a master's degree from Indiana University, an education specialist degree from Austin Peay, and a doctor of education degree from Tennessee State University.

Before joining Austin Peay in 1992, he worked in athletics at Indiana University and the University of Dayton. Joe and his wife Melissa, a former APSU volleyball player and coach, have two sons, Adam and Tyler.

The University of Memphis' Center for Athletic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated to the academic and personal development of all Tiger student-athletes. Their mission is to provide support services to ensure that U of M student-athletes succeed in the classroom and obtain undergraduate degrees. The services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising.

In 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. 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 special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned his office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower.

Dr. Luckey heads a staff of six which includes assistant director Nicole Green, counselors Becky Kolenbrander, Bridget VanLandeghem, Waqa Damuni and Maria Tyson and office coordinator Dorothy Gillard. In addition to the full-time staff, the CAAS utilizes 20-30 tutors, 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. Green, who was hired May 2003, was brought in specifically to handle NCAA, conference and institutional compliance matters associated with prospective and current student-athletes. The four counselors are assigned to specific sports, working with those student-athletes and coaching staffs.

At the 2002 Fall Orientation, Dr. Luckey challenged the Center's staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes.

The Center made progress in that regard in the fall with the student-athlete GPAs averaging 2.73, and with seven teams earning GPAs of 3.0 or higher.

Tiger student-athletes posted a combined 2.77 GPA during the spring of 2004. All in all, 111 studentathletes earned GPAs of 3.0 or higher in the spring of 2004. The following nine athletes earned a perfect 4.0 GPA: Stein Syversen (Men's Track), Kara Cassel (Women's Track), Lisa Marie Hyman (Women's Track), Zsofia Nagy (Women's Track), Rusty Clayton (Football), Luke Campbell (Men's Tennis), Marlene Dirnstorfer (Women's Tennis), Annika Moller (Women's Soccer) and Robyn Smart (Women's Soccer).

The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 upon the completion of the Wilder Tower. In addition to the CAAS, the Wilder Tower will house the offices of 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 31 student computer stations, 17 offices and several study tables.

Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of ACAD 1100, Introduction to the University, were offered to student-athletes only. The class was so well received that a third section was offered in 2003 so that all freshman student-athletes could be included in the course. Students who participated in the class earned an average of 15.2 credit hours, and an average GPA of 3.25.

Three academic programs are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes at The U of M. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earn 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 athletes, totaling 30 athletes. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester.

With a qualified and dedicated staff in place, and a new spacious work area dedicated entirely to all Tiger student-athletes, Dr. Luckey expects graduation rates to climb, and well-rounded student-athletes to emerge upon their graduation from The U of M. Just in the last couple of years, University of Memphis student-athletes have received some of the top league and national awards. Following the 2003-04 athletic season, senior Lisa Marie Hyman received one of the highest honors issued by Conference USA. Hyman was one of six athletes in the league who received a C-USA Postgraduate Scholarship in the amount of $4,000.

This past year, 24 student-athletes were honored by Conference USA with the Commissioner's Medal for posting a grade point average of 3.75 or higher, and the U of M also had men's track senior Gaute Myklebust named a C-USA Co-Scholar Athletes of the Year.

Memphis student-athletes also represented the school well nationally, as two student-athletes (Andy Metcalf, Heather Watts) received Academic All-America honors, while an additional four student-athletes (DeAngelo Williams, Sheila Neba, Gaute Myklebust and Marlene Dirnstorfer) earned Academic All-District honors. The men's tennis team also picked up its first-ever national award when senior Lee Taylor Walker was named the ITA/Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award winner. The Tiger football team capped the academic award season and was one of 30 teams in the nation to be honored after graduating 70 percent of its student-athletes.

Senior jumper Lisa Marie Hyman was a 2004 Conference USA Postgraduate Award Winner for the 2004-05 season. Hyman, who is a threetime C-USA Gold Medalist in the triple jump, will complete her master's degree in the spring of 2005.

Just over 50 years ago, several Memphis area business men gathered one night on Highland Avenue and formed the Memphis football boostergroup, the Highland Hundred.

At its inception in 1954, the group, now regarded as one of the most energetic organizations in the nation, had just eight members and set its initial goal at a membership of 100.

The group membership now totals over 800.

But their goal remains the same, to promote Tigerfootball.

The activities and projects of the Highland Hundred are many and varied. The group sponsors a barbecue contest, a preseason kickoff banquet and a golf tournament. In addition, the Highland Hundred has undertaken several major projects like the restoration of Murphy AthleticTraining Center and the purchasing of a Lexicon Video Sports Editing System. Recently, the club funded lights for Memphis' practice facility. The club also sponsors the Senior Banquet.

Traditions WHY TIGERS? When 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.

Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal's football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto - "Every Man A Tiger" and went on to score 174 points while allowing their opponents just 29 points.

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.

A BENGAL FOR A MASCOT For over 30 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis athletics has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mascot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger football games, as well as numerous basketball games. TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soccer and women's basketball games.

The first tiger, purchased by the Highland Hundred (football booster group) in 1972, lived for 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo. TOM died in February of 1992.

The story of how the first Tiger cub arrived in Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9, 1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

There it was placed aboard a Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM. C. Cleveland Drennon, an attorney and president of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken to athletic director Billy Murphy's office for a press conference.

In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University on November 11, 1972.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daughter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Memphis, however, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran from Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and Shiloh to

Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee.

Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOM won.

During his first few months in Memphis, Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, which was redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOM was guarded by Proctor's hound dog.

TOM II came to the University of Memphis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his new home at Nixon Farms in Collierville, Tenn. His new home is 3500 square feet and includes two pools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned den box and has separately, a complete medical facility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger is nearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as large or larger than his predecessor, TOM, who was once the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550 pounds. There is even a birthday party for TOM II prior to each football season.

Stand Firm, O Alma Mater Through All The Years To Come; In Days Of Youth And Beauty Thy Halls Have Been Our Home.

In Time Of Preparation Great Lessons Didst Thou Teach Till Now O Alma Mater, The Stars We'll Strive To Reach.

Lead On, O Alma Mater They Sons To Highways, Give Light And Truth Unto Them For All Their Coming Days.

To Thee We'll Give All Honor, Our Hopes Abide In Thee, For Thou, O Alma Mater, Hast Made Us Ever Free.

SCHOOL COLORS The University of Memphis' official school colors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s.

The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.

THE LOGO The University of Memphis' official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn.

The original logo was an MSU with a leaping tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an "M" with a leaping tiger coming up over the center of the "M".

Go Tigers Go, Go On To Victory, Be A Winner Thru And Thru; Fight Tigers, Fight Cause We're Going All The Way Fight, Fight For The Blue And Gray And Say Let's Go Tigers Go, Go On To Victory.

See Our Colors Bright And True; It's Fight Now Without A Fear, Fight Now Let's Shout A Cheer, Shout For Dear Memphis U. (Yell) Go Tigers Go Go Tigers Go Yea ~ Tiger Go!
