2008 Falcon Football

Beginning in 1984, Fisher DeBerry put a short leash on the trophy. DeBerry became the Falcons’ head coach in 1984 and dominated CIC competition. He posted a 34-11 record against Army and Navy until his retirement after the 2006 season. During that same span, Army and Navy both had records of 17-29. Army has won one title in the past 18 years.

It is the national championship of service academy football. Its only equals are the Stanley Cup, the Vince Lombardi Trophy and the Ryder Cup. At two-and-one-half feet tall and 170 pounds, the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy is the most prized possession of the three service academies. The service academy with the best record in the three-team, roundrobin competition is rewarded with the CIC trophy. The President of the United States presents the trophy to the senior class of the winning Academy during a trip to the White House after the season.

The idea for the establishment of an interservice trophy originated with the late General George B. Simler, commander of the Air Training Command and a former Air Force Academy athletic director. The 1972 season was viewed as an appropriate time to establish such a trophy since it marked the first year of round-robin competition in football between the service academies.

Simler proposed the idea to the AFA Association of Graduates in 1972. The association, in turn, proposed the project to the alumni associations at West Point and Annapolis as suitable for joint sponsorship by the three academies.

In its 37th season, the CIC Trophy has made a stop at all three academies. Air Force, the youngest of the three academies, has won as many CIC titles than Army and Navy combined. Air Force has won 16 of the 36 titles. Navy has won 10 while Army has won six and four have ended in a tie. In the event of a tie, the previous year’s winner retains the trophy.

Navy dominated the early years. After Army won the inaugural title in 1972, the Midshipmen won the title five of the next nine years and held the trophy eight of those nine years. AFA claimed its first title in 1982. Air Force and Army traded the trophy every year from 1983 to 1988.

Prior to 1989, neither academy had won more than two straight CIC titles. Air Force won four straight titles from 19891992. After tying for the trophy in 1993, the Falcons won titles in 1994 and 1995.

The trophy spent seven years at the Academy until Army won the title in 1996. That season marked the first time since 1978, and just the fourth time in 26 years, the Falcons were defeated by Army and Navy in the same season. The trophy’s hiatus from the Academy was shortlived as the Falcons brought the trophy home in 1997. That season began an unprecedented string of six straight titles.

AFA clinched its sixth trophy by beating Army (49-30) and Navy (48-7) in 2002.

Navy has won the Trophy each of the last five seasons, its longest winning streak in trophy competition.

The trophy is named in honor of the President of the United States as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The three-sided structure is engraved with the seal of each academy and displays a sculptured model of each school’s mascot. The year in which the trophy is won is engraved on a plate on the appropriate academy’s side of the trophy.

“Our first game against another academy was a tremendous event,” said former AFA Associate Athletic Director Jim Bowman.

“We were a heavy underdog to Army and tied them 13-13 in front of a huge crowd at Yankee Stadium. Since we are the youngest of the academies, our goal was just to be competitive with Army and Navy.

The overall record shows that we have been pretty successful.”

Seniors Drew Fowler (left) and Garrett Rybak (right) were the co-recipients of the Brian Bullard Award at the 26th Annual Air Force Football Awards Banquet at the Broadmoor Hotel.

Fowler, from Clayton, N.C., was a second-team all-conference selection at inside linebacker and was chosen to play in the EastWest Shrine game. He started all 13 games and led the team, and was third in the league, with 9.2 tackles per game. As a senior, he had a career-best three interceptions.

Rybak, a cornerback from Victoria, Texas, started all 13 games and was third on the team in pass breakups and interceptions. He was one of only three Falcons to have an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery last season.

2008 Falcon Football

State of the art. Unmatched. Cutting-edge.

You choose. But one thing is unmistakable, the new Falcon Athletic Center (FAC) is one of the nation's best facilities. The new facility was part of a military construction project that not only built the new building, but altered the existing Cadet Field House. The $30.3 million project included 161,000 total square feet, including the Falcon Athletic Center's 109,000 square feet and a 51,000 square foot renovation of the Cadet Field House.

The new building opened in July 2003, while the Field House was completed in March 2004.

Student-athletes' schedules at the Academy are institutionally driven, unlike that of most civilian schools where student-athletes have much more free time. Student-athletes at the Academy are allotted from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. daily for athletic pursuits.

That time must be used for practice, for transit to and from the dormitory area and the Cadet Gymnasium or Cadet Field House, medical taping and treatment and conditioning in the weight room. In addition, competition at the NCAA Division I level has become a year-round proposition for all athletes, whether they are cadets or their counterparts at civilian institutions.

Understanding that the Academy enrollment of 4,000 consists of roughly 25 percent student-athletes (1,000), the existing athletic facilities were taxed. The same was true for the existing medical treatment and weight room facilities. In addition to the student-athletes, the Academy also uses these facilities for its massive intramural sports program. The 3,000 cadets who are not intercollegiate athletes participate in intramural activities adding about 1,200 to 1,500 cadets in the athletic facilities at the same time.

The Falcon Athletic Center houses new sports medicine and weight training facilities, as well as new locker rooms, team meeting facilities and equipment issue and storage. In addition, the athletic administration and football program personnel have offices in the FAC. The first level of the building is for equipment storage and issue, football lockers and the medical and training facilities. The second level consists of a two-story weight room, coaches offices and a reception area. This area gives guests and visitors the opportunity to visit the history of intercollegiate athletics and past greats, along with the intramural programs. A spacious outdoor plaza area with room for displays takes up the third level while the fourth level is for athletic administration.

Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days of sunshine per year, The Mile High City of Denver has it all.

Truly a sports capitol, Denver has eight professional sports teams, including the Denver Broncos (NFL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rockies (MLB), Colorado Rapids (Major League Soccer), Denver Crush (Arena Football League), Colorado Outlaws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (National Lacrosse League). Recent success among the teams has driven the excitement for these teams a mountain high. The Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. The Crush won the Arena Bowl in 2005.

Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide, Denver has a mild and dry climate with more days of sunshine per year than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open year round as the average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Boston, New York City and St. Louis. The city sits at 5,280 feet above sea level. In fact, there is a step on the State Capitol Building that is exactly one mile above sea level. Even at a mile above sea level, the city is dwarfed by its backdrop. The foothills being just west of the city and the peaks of the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000 feet. Despite the proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15 inches of precipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles.

The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the population of the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the 27th most populous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area.

Denver has the largest city park system in the nation. There are 650 miles of off-street, bike paths, 90 golf courses and 200 parks.

Within a 90-minute drive from downtown Denver, there are opportunities for some of the country’s best skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting and mountain biking. (all photos on this page courtesy of the Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau)

The immortal words of an eastern visitor in 1893 live perpetually at the base of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.

When teacher and poet Katherine Lee Bates took a wagon ride to the summit of Pikes Peak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Her view from atop the 14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “America the Beautiful”.

The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870 when Gen. William Jackson Palmer first visited the region and was captivated by its grandeur. A year later, he began designing his city of dreams. From its beginning on the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues in downtown Colorado Springs, the city has grown more than 183 square miles and to nearly 400,000 people in the city and 600,000 in the metro area.

Colorado Springs is known nationally for its natural attractions. The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 natural attraction, is a majestic out-cropping of red sandstone rocks which are more than 300 million years old. Colorado is also home to the Pikes Peak Highway, a MERICAS S EST Springs 19-mile drive up the world’s highest toll road. The area’s No. 1 man-made attraction is the Air Force Colorado Springs was Academy’s Cadet Chapel. ranked as the No. 1 Best Another major attraction is the Broadmoor Hotel and Resort. Built in the early 1900s, this Big City in 2007 (over resort, hosted the 1995 U.S. Women’s 300,000) to Live by Money five-star Open Golf Championship and the 2008 Senior Magazine based on quality U.S. Open, and is nestled into the base of Cheyenne Mountain. The Pikes Peak region is of life, climate, social home to the nation’s only mountain zoo. The activities, cleanliness and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, with an elevation of more than 6,800-feet, has received several changes safety. in the past two years.

For the outdoors enthusiast, the city and the state offer a plethora of recreational activities. A short drive to the northwest features some of the nation’s finest ski resorts, including the cities of Vail and Aspen. A short jaunt to the southwest or northwest will find some of the best white-water rafting, fishing, hiking and cycling that the country has to offer.

Valuing its past with a vision for the future, Colorado Springs is truly a city with unparalleled culture, recreation, growth and opportunity in the 21st century.

Academy

THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY The United States Air Force Academy offers a fouryear program of instruction and experience designed to provide cadets the knowledge and character essential for leadership, and the motivation to serve as Air Force career officers. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

COURSE OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides a general and professional foundation essential to a career Air Force officer. Special needs of future Air Force officers are met by professionally oriented courses, including human physiology, computer science, economics, military history, astronautics, law and political science.

The core curriculum includes courses in science, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 25 major areas of study. About 60 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the other 40 percent graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, astronautical engineering, international affairs and political science, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, aeronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics.

FACULTY COMPOSITION The majority of the Academy's nearly 600 faculty members are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master's degree and more than 35 percent have doctorates.

In addition to imparting knowledge, each faculty member must assist with the development of character and qualities of leadership essential to future Air Force career officers and the motivation of service to country.

To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished civilian professors and associate professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services are members of the faculty as well, and a small number of officers from allied countries teach in the foreign language, history and political science departments. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy's athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An aerospace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors

GoAirForceFalcons.com

are responsible for the leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores perform lowerlevel leadership and instructional tasks. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers.

Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in U.S. society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communicative skills, and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force.

Military studies for the senior class focus on military thought.

The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Those not qualified for flight training must enroll in a basic aviation course. Astronomy and advanced navigation courses also are available.

Students bound for pilot training enroll in the flight screening program at the Academy and fly the DA-20 Katana aircraft.

Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available, and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer.

Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets' second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with young airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training.

During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in summer programs, such as basic cadet training, survival training, freefall parachuting and soaring.

Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available.

NOMINATIONS Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law. For information on admission procedures, write to HQ USAFA/RRS; 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200; USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force academy be established without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the first academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million.

Women entered the academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DR. HANS MUEH Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department.

Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bottom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities.

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his fifth year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy's faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association.

Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports.

In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in an NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. Mueh hired current head coach Jeff Reynolds and helped him continue Air Force’s winning tradition last season. The ice hockey team has won back-to-back conference championships and made two straight appearances in the NCAA tournament. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association. The women’s basketball program has shown steady improvement and tied a school record with four league wins in 2006-07.

Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship.

Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually.

Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy's eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament.

Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the

Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semipro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971.

He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973.

After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon.

In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987.

As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy's representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representative on the team. He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men's golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team.

Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh takes in a spring football practice in 2007, the first spring under coach Troy Calhoun. Dr. Mueh is beginning his fifth season as the Director of Athletics. In 2007, Air Force was one of just three schools to to reach post-season play in football, men’s basketball and ice hockey.

The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, went through a major overhaul. Mueh led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl last year.

He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College.

AIR FORCE ATHLETICS Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy's.

The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education.

The intercollegiate program has 17 men's and 10 women's NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women's teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading.

THE FALCON Sports audiences across the country have been intrigued and delighted by the aerobatics of the falcon, the flying mascot of the U.S. Air Force Academy -- one of only two performing mascots in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The falcon can attain velocities exceeding 200 miles per hour in swoops or dives, turn sharply and streak only inches above the ground, making it the fastest and one of the most maneuverable of all birds.

Trained and handled by cadet falconers, the birds soar and dive, sometimes zooming low over the heads of spectators. While their public flying performances are primarily limited to outdoor venues -- most often at football games and cadet wing parades -- the falcons appear at many other athletic contests in which cadet teams play.

Members of the Class of 1959, the first to enter the Academy, chose the falcon as the mascot of the cadet wing Sept. 25, 1955, feeling that it best characterized the combat role of the U.S. Air Force. They did not specify any particular species; thus, any falcon can serve as mascot. Some of the characteristics which led to its selection were speed, powerful and graceful flight, courage, keen eyesight, alertness, regal carriage and noble tradition. The falcon exemplified the qualities sought in Air Force Academy cadets: courage, intelligence, love of the wild sky, ferocity in attack, but gentle in repose, and discipline.

Experts once said falcons could not be trained to perform before huge crowds, that the birds would panic and flee. Since 1956, however, cadets have flown the birds at sporting events before thousands of cheering spectators. Six weeks or more and an average of 300 man-hours per bird are required to properly train a young falcon. When a bird is in top condition, it is able to fly for more

than an hour and make repeated stoops at the baited lure swung by the cadet falconer.

Although they can be trained to perform, falcons are never totally domesticated and remain wild creatures with strong, independent spirits.

On Oct. 5, 1955, a splendid peregrine was the first falcon presented to the cadet wing.

It was named “Mach 1,” referring to the speed of sound. While “Mach 1” is still the official mascot name, each bird receives an individual name from the falconers.

Twelve to 15 falcons are kept in the mews (enclosures for trained hawks) north of the cadet area. The majority are prairie falcons native to Colorado.

On June 8, 1996, the Association of Graduates purchased a female white-faced gyrfalcon from Mr. Dan Konkle in Sheridan, Wyo., and donated her to the Academy. The cadet wing named this new mascot Aurora from Roman mythology, the goddess of the dawn. She is now the official mascot for the United States Air Force Academy and has become the center of attention for the Academy’s Falcon Mascot Program. At a mere 40 days old, this majestic creature weighed four pounds. Glacier, our previous gyrfalcon Mascot from 1980-95, only weighed two pounds.

Although any falcon can serve as an Academy mascot, the white-faced Arctic gyrfalcon has always been the official mascot of the Air Force Academy. Gyrs constitute only about five percent of the total number of falcons found in the United States. Of that five percent, only about 3-4 percent are true white faced gyrfalcons.

Falconry is one of the extracurricular activities offered to cadets. The Academy’s public health officer, a public health veterinarian, is the officer-in-charge. There are usually 12 falconers, with four chosen from each new class at the end of the year to replace graduating seniors. The new falconers begin training in January under the leadership of experienced upperclassmen and the officer-in-charge. Without proper instruction, novices can physically harm the birds or adversely affect their training. Falconers’ duties include daily checks of each bird’s health and condition, training sessions during which the birds are fed a measured ration of meat, frequent cleaning of the mews and routine maintenance of equipment.

The prairie falcon is the bird primarily used by cadet falconers in flying demonstrations; however, peregrine falcons are also flown. The birds are 36

WHY THE FALCON? Speed Can attain velocities exceeding 200 miles per hour in stoops or dives on their prey.

Power Powerful and graceful flight, with strong, deep wing beats; they maneuver with ease, grace and evident enjoyment.

Courage Fearless and aggressive, falcons fiercely defend their nest and young against intruders.

They have been known to unhesitatingly attack and kill prey more than twice their size.

Keen eyesight About eight times sharper than man.

Alertness, regal carriage and noble tradition. flown throughout the year, weather permitting, to keep them in top condition.

During performances, the birds fly to a lure, a rectangular-shaped leather pouch to which meat is attached. The falconer whirls the lure in a circle on a 30-foot cord; the bird quickly learns to strike it in mid-air, carry it to the ground and dine on the food. As the bird stoops toward the lure in free flight, the lure is jerked aside, causing the falcon to fly up, circle and make another pass. This procedure is repeated several times before the bird is allowed to strike the lure in mid-air.

A small battery-powered transmitter is attached to one leg and a bell to the other leg so that, should the bird not come to the lure as it had been trained, the cadet falconers will be able to follow and safely recover the falcon.

THE AIR FORCE SONG History of the Air Force Song In 1938, Liberty magazine sponsored a contest for a spirited, enduring musical composition to become the official Army Air Corps song. Of 757 scores submitted, Robert Crawford’s was selected by a committee of Air Force wives. The song was officially introduced at the Cleveland Air Races on September 2, 1939. Fittingly, Crawford sang it in its first public performance.

The first page of the score, which Crawford submitted to the selection committee in July 1939, was carried to the surface of the moon on July 30, 1971, aboard the Apollo 15 "Falcon" lunar module by Colonel David R. Scott and Lieutenant Colonel James B. Irwin. Interestingly, at the moment the "Falcon" blasted off the surface of the moon with Scott and Irwin on board, a rendition of the "Air Force Song" was broadcast to the world by Major Alfred M. Worden, who had a tape recorder aboard the "Endeavor" command module which was in orbit around the moon. Scott, Irwin and Worden comprised the first and only "All-Air Force" Apollo crew and arranged to take the page of sheet music with them as a tribute to Crawford and the United States Air Force.

Bridge Section: Toast to the Host “A Toast to the Host” is part of the original Air Force Song.

Many times this is sung as a separate piece. This is the verse which commemorates those who have fallen in the name of our service and our great country. This is the reason for the difference in melody and the reverent, reflective mood.

After every football game, the Drum and Bugle Corps plays “A Toast to the Host” as the football team gathers together on the field, joins hands and stands at attention.

FALCON FOOTBALL PAGEANTRY Wings of Blue Nothing is more indicative of the pageantry of Air Force football than the Wings of Blue.

The U.S. Air Force Academy parachute team, the Wings of Blue, has been one of the outstanding parachute units in the country for more than two decades. Since 1967, cadets have dominated national intercollegiate parachuting championships, typically winning decisively over 40 other schools which field about 125 of the nation’s top college competitors. Additionally, they perform about 50

demonstrations each year for millions of spectators. That doesn’t include jumping into Falcon Stadium before the start of every football game, weather permitting.

The Wings of Blue, because of their diverse mission, are divided into a demonstration team and a competition team. Advising and supervising the team is a cadre of active off-duty Air Force commissioned and noncommissioned officers. The team jumps from a variety of aircraft. However, the team primarily uses its own DeHavilland UV-18B Twin Otters. Each cadet member must be a qualified jump-master and instructor in the Air Force Academy parachuting program.

They must also maintain high academic and military standards to remain with the team. Members of the team average 600 jumps by the time they graduate.

The primary mission of the parachute team is not competing or performing, it’s to train other cadets in free-fall parachuting.

Each year, over 1,000 cadets complete five free-fall jumps in the basic free fall parachuting course and earn the coveted parachutist badge and rating. The Academy is the only school in the Air Force authorized to grant these awards and is the only school in the U.S. authorized to allow students to perform unassisted free-fall delays

on their first jump, without any prior static line training.

The basic free-fall program is the premier character development program at the Academy and is available to all cadets. It is designed to develop courage, confidence and discipline in each student and provide leadership experiences for the cadet instructors who teach the course.

It is a rigorous training schedule with heavy emphasis on safety. Before cadets make their first jump, they are drilled repeatedly in ground school on proper parachuting procedures. The repetition is intended to have the jumper respond automatically and correctly should something unexpected occur during the jump.

Cadets who successfully complete the basic free fall course are then eligible to take the advanced training necessary to tryout for the Wings of Blue. Those who want advanced training must compete for admission.

Selection is based upon an individual’s maturity, abilities, academic and military standing.

From its uncertain beginnings, when it was reserved for stuntmen, rugged paratroopers and desperate pilots, parachuting has evolved into an exacting science and exacting sport -a sport dominated at the college level by the Air Force Academy.

Flight of Sound The complete experience in sight and sound is presented at every home Falcon football game by the “Flight of Sound,” the U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Drum and Bugle Corps.

Since 1948, the Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps has entertained audiences across the nation and abroad with their thrilling performances. The Corps, originally assigned to Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C., was transferred to the Air Force Academy in 1963 and turned over to the Cadet Wing in 1972. Since then, the corps has won 16 of the 24 Interservice Academy Drum and Bugle Corps competitions and are the four-time defending champions. The competition is held annually during the Air Force vs. Navy football weekend.

Recognized as one of America’s premier musical and marching units, the Corps exemplifies the precision and musical blend of a welldirected band or orchestra and the showmanship of a Broadway production. Performing on the average of 150 times a year, they have become known as the Academy’s ambassadors of precision drill and musical pageantry.

The Corps’ primary mission is to support the Cadet Wing activities, including military formations and Academy athletic contests both home and away. An extension of the mission continues in the community with concerts, field exhibitions, band festivals and various military ceremonies.

The “D & B” Corps is comprised of 135 cadets and has represented the Air Force Academy at Presidential Inaugural Parades, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades, The Tournament of Roses Parade, Mardi Gras Parades, The Festival of State in St. Petersburg, Fla., Walt Disney World’s International Music Festival and The Long’s Peak Scottish/Irish Festival.

TROY C ALHOUN SECOND SEASON AS HEAD COACH 13 YEARS AS A COLLEGE COACH 4 YEARS IN THE NFL 17 YEARS COACHING EXPERIENCE Sometimes people seem born for a particular job or situation. That has never been the case more than Troy Calhoun being the head football coach at the Air Force Academy.

The coach ushered in a new era of Falcon football in 2007 as Calhoun replaced the legendary Fisher DeBerry, who retired after 23 years as head coach. Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate, is the sixth head coach in school history and the first graduate to hold the position.

Calhoun lifted the Falcon football program to unprecedented heights within the Mountain West Conference in just one season and, in the process, earned a reputation as one of the top coaches in college football.

Air Force, coming off three straight losing seasons, finished the 2007 season 9-4 overall and placed second in the Mountain West Conference with a 6-2 mark in Calhoun’s first year. The Falcons earned their first bowl bid in five seasons, advancing to the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas. The 2007 Falcons are the only team in Air Force history to win road games at Notre Dame, Utah and Colorado State in the same season.

The five-game turnaround from 2006, in which Air Force was 4-8, was the largest in the nation by a first-year head coach and tied as the thirdlargest overall in the nation. The five-game turnaround is the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games.

Air Force’s nine wins tied Calhoun for the most wins ever at the Academy by a first-year head coach, matching the mark set by Ben Martin in 1958. The six MWC wins is a new Academy standard and is two wins better than the previous mark for conference wins by a first-year head coach at the Academy.

Air Force also posted just the third undefeated home record in school history, establishing Falcon Stadium as one of the toughest venues in the country for visiting teams to play.

second in the conference in total offense with a 419.4 per-game average.

Defensively, the Falcons showed tremendous success. Air Force finished fifth in the conference and 22nd nationally in scoring defense with a 21.1 average. The Falcons only allowed four opponents to hit the 30-point mark on the year. Special teams highlights included two 57-yard field goals and the school record for field goals in a season with 19.

Calhoun brought to the Academy a wealth of experience and impressive resume at the collegiate and professional levels that was flooded with success at every stop to the Academy.

Calhoun came to the Academy after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2006. The Texans were one of only two NFL teams to triple their number of wins from the previous year.

They also were the last team to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on their way to the Super Bowl championship.

On offense, the Texans had the NFL's leading receiver (Pro Bowler Andre Johnson with 103 catches), the NFL's best quarterback completion percentage (68.4 percent) and quarterback David Carr tied an NFL record against Buffalo with 22 straight completions.

Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving as the defensive assistant under defensive coordinator Larry Coyer in 2003. He was a part of the NFL's fourth-ranked defense. The Broncos' defense ranked seventh against the run and sixth against the pass. Denver's defense yielded a mere 17.6 points per game as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2000.

Calhoun was named the Mountain West Conference’s coach of the year for his efforts. In addition, he was named coach of the year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for the Eddie RobinsonNational Coach of the Year. He was also one of seven finalists for the AFCA National Coach of the Year award.

In 2004, Denver utilized Calhoun's offensive prowess moving him to offensive assistant/special teams. On the offensive side of the ball, the Broncos ranked fifth in the NFL, averaging 395.8 yards per game. Broncos' quarterback Jake Plummer set a team record for passing with 4,089 yards and tied a team record with 27 touchdown pass-

The Falcon offense reestablished itself as one of the top units in the MWC. Air Force was second in the conference in scoring offense with a 29.9 per-game average. The Falcons won their 24th conference rushing title and ranked second nationally with a 299.5 average per game. Air Force was also

TROY C ALHOUN es. Coupled with an outstanding passing attack, the Broncos finished fourth in the NFL in rushing. The offense's ability to combine the run and the pass led to Denver ranking second in the NFL in time of possession with 32:37 per game. The Broncos' special teams connected on 29 field goals, second best in the NFL. Calhoun worked closely with Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan in the 2005 season, serving as the assistant to the head coach. He helped the Broncos win the AFC West title for the 10th time in their history. Denver reached the AFC Championship game for the first time in seven seasons. Their 14-4 record was the best since Denver finished the 1998 season with a 17-2 mark on their way to winning Super Bowl XXXIII. The offense finished fifth in the NFL averaging 360.4 yards per game. The defense was stout against the run, finishing second in the NFL with 85.2 yards per game. Denver finished with an undefeated record at home during the regular season for the fifth time in team history. During Calhoun's three years in Denver, the Broncos made the playoffs every season, averaging over 11 wins per season.

Prior to the NFL, Calhoun was an offensive coordinator for six seasons on the collegiate level.

He began his coaching career at Air Force, where he worked as a graduate assistant from 1989-90.

He started at quarterback for the Academy in 1986 and was one of only two freshmen to letter for the 1985 team that finished fifth in the final polls with a 12-1 record that included wins over national powers Notre Dame and Texas.

Calhoun served his country from 1989-95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force. He was the Falcons' recruiting coordinator and the junior varsity offensive coordinator in 1993-94.

Calhoun moved to Wake Forest in 2001.

The Demon Deacons were one of only seven teams in the country to score more than 30 points in each of the final four games. During his second season, Wake led the ACC in total offense with 408.1 yards per game. His offense had a league-best 990 plays and was efficient with the ball, committing only 16 turnovers to lead the ACC. The 2001 season culminated with a 38-17 bowl victory over Oregon to give Wake Forest its first back-to-back winning seasons since the ACC expanded from eight teams.

He moved to Ohio University in 1995 where he served as the quarterbacks coach for two seasons. Calhoun guided the play of quarterback Kareem Wilson. In 1996, Wilson was named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year.

Wilson set a pair of Ohio records with 282 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns against Bowling Green. He set an Ohio record with 14 rushing touchdowns in 1996.

Calhoun was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997. During his first season at the helm, the offense totaled 612 yards against Eastern Michigan, second-most in school history. The Bobcats defeated Maryland in 1997, marking the school's first win against a team from the ACC in school history. The '97 Bobcats' 8-3 record was the school's best in 29 years.

During his last season in 2000 at Ohio, the Bobcats won two games against bowl teams, Minnesota and Marshall, for the first time in school history. Calhoun's 2000 offense set a school record with 418.1 yards per game and rushed for a school best 3,553 rushing yards.

Groomed on the basics of integrity and passion, Calhoun is a native of Roseburg, Ore., and was raised in a home where both kids graduated from the Air Force Academy and were varsity letterwinners on nationally-ranked teams.

Calhoun’s younger sister, Callie, was a 1991 Academy graduate. She was a 10-time track and cross country All-American, who won a staggering six NCAA national titles.

Calhoun finished at the Academy on the superintendent's list and graduated with over a 3.0 grade point average and a military performance average of better than 3.0. He and his wife, Amanda, live in Colorado Springs and have two children, Tyler (six) and Amelia (four).

Calhoun, and his wife, Amanda, have a strong respect and affinity for the enlisted members of the armed services and are very involved with numberous charitable and community endeavors.

MATT WALLERSTEDT Assistant Head Coach, ILBs Kansas State, 1988 1st Season at Air Force 18th Year as a College Coach Matt Wallerstedt enters his first season as assistant head coach/inside linebackers coach at the Academy.

Wallerstedt comes to the Academy from Kansas State, where he was a former All-American linebacker. He coached inside linebackers in 2006-07 and served as the Wildcats’ recruiting coordinator during the 2006 season and coordinated K-State’s special teams units in 2007. He helped the Wildcats to the 2006 Texas Bowl while there.

Prior to his stint at Kansas State, Wallerstedt completed a successful two-year run at Akron, where he served as the Zips’ associate head coach, linebackers coach and special teams coordinator. He helped the program to the 2005 Mid-American Conference title and its first bowl in school history (Motor City Bowl). The defense was the top-ranked unit in the conference that year.

A 1984 graduate of Manhattan High School, Wallerstedt lettered at Kansas State from 1984-1987 and led the Wildcats in tackles as a junior and senior. In fact, his 165 tackles in 1987 still rank fifth on KState’s single-season tackle chart, while his 338 career stops rank ninth all time in school history. One of K-State’s 1987 co-captains and the Wildcats’ MVP that season, Wallerstedt earned all-Big Eight honors and was an honorable mention All-American by The Associated Press for 1987.

Wallerstedt received his coaching start in 1988 as a student assistant with the Wildcats. He went on to serve the 1989 and 1990 seasons as a graduate assistant at Arizona State.

After three years in private business, Wallerstedt received his first full-time coaching opportunity as the defensive line coach at Fort Hays (Kan.) State in 1994. He helped guide Fort Hays State to a share of the 1995 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship and national playoffs. The team finished the season ranked 18th nationally. Wallerstedt then coached defensive backs at Emporia State in 1996.

A very successful one-year stay as the defensive coordinator at North Alabama followed in 2003 where he helped the program to the Gulf South Conference championships and the league’s top-ranked defensive unit. The defense ranked sixth nationally and the team finished 13-1 and was ranked fifth in the nation.

CLAY HENDRIX Co-Offensive Coordinator/ Offensive Line Furman, 1986 2nd Season at Air Force 21st Year as a College Coach Clay Hendrix is in his second season at the Academy as the co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.

Hendrix made his presence in the program known early, as he turned a very young, inexperienced unit into one of the top offensive lines in the conference.

Air Force won its 24th conference rushing title in 2007, while finishing second nationally in rushing with an average of 299.5 yards per game. Air Force’s rushing average is its best since winning its only national rushing title in 2002 with a 307.8 per-game average. The total is the 12th best ever in school history.

One of the biggest surprises was the development of senior Blaine Guenther, who moved to center for his final season and anchored the line while earning first-team all-conference honors. Sophomore Nick Charles proved the future is bright, earning second-team all-league honors at guard. Hendrix also permanently moved Keith Williams to the offensive line from defense and he earned mid-season all-conference honors in one poll.

In addition, Air Force’s offense ranked as one of the top units in the conference last season. The Falcons finished second in the conference in scoring and total offense with averages of 29.9 points and 419.4 yards per game.

Hendrix came to Air Force after completing 19 seasons at NCAA I-AA Furman as the offensive line coach, including the last five as assistant head coach.

Since joining the staff in 1988, he played a central role in Furman's success as his offensive lines helped the Paladins post a 147-73-1 record, win six Southern Conference titles and claim the 1988 NCAA I-AA national crown.

The success Furman enjoyed over his last seven years, including a combined 65-24 record and three league titles, was due in large measure to the work of Hendrix-directed fronts.

A product of Commerce, Ga., he starred as an offensive guard as a prep, helping Commerce to a 13-1-1 record and the 1981 AA state championship. A 1986 Furman graduate, he was a three-year starter from 1982-85 when Furman rolled up a 39-10-1 record. He also played on three league title teams and four nationally-ranked squads, including the 1985 national runner-up team. Furman also recorded impressive wins over South Carolina (1982), Georgia Tech (1983), and N.C. State (1984 & '85) during his tenure. He was named all-state in 1985.

Following graduation, he joined Dick Sheridan's coaching staff at North Carolina State as a graduate assistant before returning to Furman in 1988.

He and his wife, the former LeeAnn Hedgpeth of Taylors, S.C., have two sons, Clayton Callaway, and William McDaniel.

In his tenure as the running backs coach, he mentored 2008 graduate Chad Hall into one of the most explosive running backs in the nation. Hall was a third-team All-American in 2007 and was the conference offensive player of the year after rushing for a conference-best 1,478 yards which is the second-best single-season effort in school history.

In addition to Hall, Singleton developed a deep, talented corps of running backs last season. Kip McCarthy and Jim Ollis each provided at least one 100-yard rushing game from the tailback position while sophomore Savier Stephens gained valuable experience.

Another of Singleton's accomplishments came in 2006 when he dramatically decreased the team’s number of fumbles. In 2005, the Falcons had 28 fumbles. However, in Singleton's first season in 2006, the Falcons had just 19 fumbles, an average of nearly one less fumble per game. That trend continued in 2007.

Singleton is a 1999 graduate of the Academy where he earned his bachelor's degree in social sciences. While at the Academy, Singleton helped lead the school to new heights. The team won 10 or more games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in school history during his junior and senior years. The 1997 team was 10-3 while the 1998 squad was 12-1 and won the school's first outright conference title. Singleton, a co-captain of the '98 squad, was a threeyear letterwinner in football at halfback and was an honorable mention all-Western Athletic Conference selection his senior year.

Singleton began his Air Force and coaching career at the USAFA Prep School in 2000. He served as an instructor and assistant head coach/offensive coordinator. He was then stationed at Little Rock AFB in Jacksonville, Ark., from January 2001 to January 2003 as a public affairs officer. He returned to the Academy in the spring of 2003 and served as the executive officer for the athletic director before taking over as the junior varsity defensive coordinator and varsity assistant coach.

The son of a retired Air Force sergeant, Singleton was born in Incirlik, Turkey. He graduated from Taft High School in San Antonio, Texas, where he was a three-year letterman and all-state honoree. He was also the district most valuable player as a senior.

Singleton and his wife, Jennifer, have one daughter, Morgan.

2008 Falcon Football

2008 SEASON OUTLOOK The 2007 Air Force football team distinguished itself as one of the best in school history, posting a nine-win season and going to a post-season bowl game. The team also finished second in the conference with a school-record six Mountain West Conference wins, posted the biggest win by a service academy at Notre Dame in over 40 years and put together the secondlargest turnaround in school history and best since 1958 with a five-win improvement from the previous year.

Stephens rushed for 148 yards and averaged 4.1 yards per carry as a rookie.

Lumpkin spent his freshman season on the junior varsity and did not have any varsity stats. Paffett rushed for 123 yards and caught three passes a year ago. He was outstanding in the season finale against San Diego State with his first-career 100yard rushing game. He rushed for 105 yards on seven carries and scored a career-best three touchdowns. Newell rushed for 63 yards on 14 carries last year.

The 2008 squad may also have a special distinction as it enters the fall. This edition of the Falcons may be one the youngest teams in school history. The Falcons return only eight starters from last season plus its kicker/punter.

“Paffett is a guy that brings great strength, speed and competitiveness. He really played with a lot of confidence when November rolled around last year,” Calhoun said.

“We have eight returning starters which may be the fewest anywhere in the country.

When you also look at who we lost, it’s significant,” Air Force second-year head coach Troy Calhoun said. “We lost just about all our skill guys on both sides of the ball. This is probably one of the youngest teams the Academy has ever had. There is definitely going to be some rebuilding to do.

However, I really like the spirit of this group.”

Calhoun hopes that this year’s group can learn from that tremendous 2007 squad.

“There is a baseline there in terms of guys knowing it’s possible, but also it will be very difficult. There is a lot of hard work involved and they saw that as well.”

Unlike last year, the Falcons will not be looking at an entirely new system, which should help the young team in its development.

Perhaps no position will get more scrutiny than at quarterback. Gone is four-year starter Shaun Carney who is one of the most prolific players in school history. Gone with Carney are career numbers of 2,561 rushing yards, 31 rushing touchdowns, 5,391 passing yards, 39 touchdown passes and 7,952 yards of total offense. Carney is the Air Force career leader in total offense, rushing attempts and touchdown passes. In addition, no quarterback in Air Force history has started more games than Carney’s 44.

Several players will vie for the opportunity to replace Carney as the signal caller. Junior Eric Herbort emerged as the No. 1 quarterback after spring drills. Herbort spent last season third on the depth chart and does not have any rushing or passing attempts.

Senior Shea Smith, who came on in relief of the injured Carney in the bowl game, will start the fall second on the depth chart. In

Nick Charles addition, sophomores Ryan Campbell, Ben Cochran and Will McAngus will be in the picture.

“There are some baby steps we will not have to take this year since it’s not a new system and that will help,” Calhoun said.

“We’d like to have someone step up and separate themselves. We will not be afraid to play two players if necessary until someone does get some separation.”

The running back positions are similar as Calhoun will look for someone to emerge from a talented group. Starting tailback Jim Ollis, along with Chad Smith and Kip McCarthy and fullback Ryan Williams are all lost to graduation. Ollis finished second on the team in rushing last year with 682 yards. He topped the 100-yard mark three times last season, including the final two games of the year. Ollis rushed for a careerbest 162 yards in the regular season finale against San Diego State. Smith, McCarthy and Williams were all solid when healthy.

Senior do-everything wide receiver/tailback Chad Hall is also gone. Hall notched one of the greatest individual seasons in school history last year. The MWC Offensive Player of the Year and third-team All-American rushed for 1,478 yards, the second-most in school history, caught 50 passes for 524 yards and set the single season school record for all-purpose yards with 2,683, more than 800 yards over the previous record.

Sophomore Kyle Lumpkin will enter the fall on the top of the depth chart at tailback.

Sophomore Savier Stephens is close behind, but missed most of spring drills due to injury. Senior Todd Newell enters the spring as the starter at fullback while senior Ty Paffett will replace Hall at the WR-Z position.

68

The team could get a boost from a twoway player as well. Defensive back Reggie Rembert, who was a kickoff returner last season, could get some work on both sides of the ball. Rembert averaged 22.8 yards per return to rank among the MWC leaders.

“We’ll take a look at Rembert playing both ways,” Calhoun said. “If we can get him to where he can help us by learning five or six running and passing plays that could benefit us.”

The offensive line was a nice surprise last year and will need the same this year. The unit lost first-team all-conference center Blaine Guenther and tackle Chris Monson to graduation. The unit returns second-team all-conference guard junior Nick Charles and senior Keith Williams at tackle to bolster the left side of the line. Juniors Peter Lusk (guard) and Chris Campbell (tackle) enter the spring as the starters on the right side.

Senior Andrew Pipes is expected to start at center.

“For us to have a quality year, those guys are going to have to be stallions,” Calhoun said. “Lusk and Campbell were both very solid last year, but they need to be better this year. It’s time for Campbell to become a quality football player for us. He worked very hard in the weight room which will pay off.”

The receiver positions are in good hands.

Tight end Travis Dekker returns for his senior year after a stellar junior campaign where he caught 25 passes for 382 yards and two touchdowns. Dekker’s 25 catches were more than the tight end position combined over the last four years and were also the most by any tight end at the Academy since 1989. Backup tight end Keith Madsen also returns. He had five catches for 49 yards and two scores last year.

2008 Falcon Football

2008 SEASON OUTLOOK Senior Spencer Armstrong and junior Sean Quintana return at receiver. Quintana had eight catches for 67 yards last year while Armstrong had three for 68 yards after missing the first half of the season due to injury.

Air Force’s defense was much improved last year from previous years. The Falcons’ 3-4 system helped them improve in nearly every area. Calhoun said that the improvement was good, but that the team will use some four down lineman looks in 2008 to continue to pressure the opponent’s offense.

Part of that philosophy is born from what will be the strength of the 2008 squad. The defensive line returns six of its top seven from a year ago. Senior Ryan Kemp and junior Jake Paulson will anchor the defensive end positions. Kemp, an honorable mention all-MWC selection last season, had 54 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and four quarterback sacks last year. Paulson had 18 tackles last season with three for loss and 1.5 sacks. Nose guard Ben Garland added 31 tackles and three quarterback sacks last season. Junior Ryan Gonzales and sophomore Rick Ricketts will add depth and talent at defensive end. Stephen Larson will backup Garland at nose guard. Jared Marvin, who started every game at nose guard last season, is recovering from an injury suffered in the spring.

“Kemp and Garland are the most productive defensive linemen we have,” Calhoun said. “We need Paulson to play at a much higher level and he’s capable of it.

Marvin has a huge heart, is a great worker and is very smart, but is coming off of an injury. This group is the strength of our defense.”

Two of the biggest losses of last year’s defense are from the linebackers corps.

Seniors Drew Fowler and John Rabold leave

Ryan K emp GoAirForceFalcons.com

big shoes to fill. Fowler posted back-to-back 100-tackle seasons and is a two-time allconference honoree. Rabold was among the conference leaders in tackles for loss last year with 17.5 to go along with a teamhigh 5.5 quarterback sacks. Rabold, a firstteam all-league selection, also had four fumble recoveries and forced three fumbles.

Juniors John Falgout and sophomore Ken Lamendola will enter the fall as the starters at inside linebacker. Falgout played in two games last season while Lamendola played in four. Senior Brandon Reeves and junior Justin Moore will both battle for playing time.

The outside linebacker unit is led by Hunter Altman, who had 62 total tackles, including 10.0 for loss and five sacks last year. Sophomore Andre Morris, Jr., is slated to start opposite Altman. Morris started one game last year and played in all 13. He had 10 tackles, seven unassisted. Sophomore Will Keuchler and junior Myles Morales will also be in the mix.

“Altman was feast of famine last year. We need him to be more consistent for us this year,” Calhoun said. “He continues to work hard and should be a solid player.”

The secondary was also hit hard by graduation. Honorable mention All-America and first-team all-conference cornerback Carson Bird and fellow starter Garrett Rybak take with them 60 career starts. Bird recorded six interceptions last year while Rybak had a pair. The secondary also lost threeyear starter Bobby Giannini to graduation.

Giannini had 76 tackles, an interception and three forced fumbles in 2007.

to corner in the spring. Rivers played in every game last season as a backup cornerback and on special teams. Battle played on the junior varsity last season.

Senior Aaron Kirchoff returns at free safety. He played in every game last year, starting three, and had 38 tackles and three pass breakups. Senior Luke Yeager, who played in nine games last season, will be in reserve.

“Reggie needs to play at a different level for us. He’ll have to play like a veteran,” Calhoun said. “Thomas needs to continue to play the way he has for us to be successful.”

The kicking game will again be in the feet of senior Ryan Harrison, who will handle the kicking and punting duties. Harrison set a school record with 19 field goals last year and was among the league leaders in punting with a 42.9 average. His kickoffs were a weapon for the Falcons as well, as he had a conference-best 32 touchbacks last year.

Calhoun stressed leadership as a key component for the team as it enters the fall.

Leadership was a big factor in last year’s success and is a natural at the Academy.

“Leadership starts with the coaches. We need to provide leadership,” he said. “Then it comes from the players. We need to be at our best in this area. We need to be tough and possess all the intangibles that help you win. We also need to find guys that will be consistent every day in practice. We need guys we can count on.”

Junior Chris Thomas will anchor a young secondary. An honorable mention all-conference selection at strong safety last season, he ranked among the league leaders in tackles. The Westerville, Ohio, product was second on the team with 110 tackles and led the team with 10 pass breakups.

Sophomore Stephan Atrice is second on the depth chart behind Thomas. Atrice played in seven games on special teams and as a reserve free safety last season as a freshman. Atrice moved to strong safety in the spring.

Junior Brenton Byrd-Fulbright and Rembert will enter the fall as the starters at corner. Senior Kevin Rivers and sophomore Elliott Battle will also contribute. Rembert is the most experienced, playing every game last year with 22 tackles, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. Byrd-Fulbright played tailback last season and was moved 69

The MWC

THE MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West Conference has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions.

As the league celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2008-09, the MWC continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Over its nine-year history, the MWC has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics.

Progressive in its approach, the MWC has marked several achievements over its first decade of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference.

The Mountain West was the first to experiment with the coaches challenge in the college football instant replay system and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in and win a BCS bowl game when Utah defeated Pittsburgh in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Mountain West was also the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively).

The Mountain West Conference is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West Conference boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MWC schools (Utah, BYU, Air Force and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico comple-

ments the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of the MWC’s newest member, TCU.

History he Mountain West Conference was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference.

The split from the former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Five of the MWC’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (BYU, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MWC in 1999. TCU rejoined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06, completing the Conference membership as it stands today.

When the MWC officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MWC football and men’s basketball, and threeyear agreements to send the league’s football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl.

The MWC television package will reach a national audience in 2008-09 through a combination of telecasts on The MountainWest Sports Network (The Mtn.), CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) and VERSUS. The Mtn. has been available to cable subscribers in the MWC footprint since it first aired in 2006-07 and will be available nationally on DIRECTV starting August 27, 2008.

On Aug. 26, 2004, College Sports Television (CSTV) and the Mountain West Conference announced a visionary partnership that revolutionized the college sports landscape. The landmark agreement was the first NCAA Division I football and men’s basketball conference-wide deal for CSTV and provided the network exclusive rights to all Conference events, including cable and satellite television coverage, national over-the-air and satellite radio, video-on-demand and online broadcast rights.

In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. The Mtn. provides sports fans blanket coverage of MWC athletics across multiple sports, including football, men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s Olympic sports. In 2007-08, more than 250 MWC events were shown live on The Mtn., CBS C and VERSUS. CBS C is currently available in over 65 million homes, while VERSUS is in more than 73 million households.

The MWC has remained steadfast in its mission to promote the league’s athletic events to national and regional television audiences and will continue to grow its new TV model.

The Mtn. on DirecTV The MountainWest Sports Network (The Mtn.), the nation’s first network dedicated to a college conference, the Division I Mountain West Conference, will launch on DirecTV Aug. 27, 2008, on a nationwide basis.

Kim Carver, vice president and general manager of The Mtn., said, “We are excited to share the passions, rivalries and pioneering spirit of Mountain West athletics with DIRECTV customers and college sports fans across the country.

The Mtn. continues to grow because of the energy and dedication of Mountain West fans and their

desire for in-depth, comprehensive college sports coverage.”

“We’re very excited that DIRECTV will allow college sports fans across the nation to get unprecedented coverage of their favorite Mountain West team,” said Craig Thompson, MWC Commissioner. “Our fans and alumni have been asking for more accessibility to The Mtn., and the DIRECTV launch of the network in August will give them all of the games, news and analysis they’ve been wanting."

THE MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE MWC WINS BOWL CHALLENGE CUP

IN

2007

For the second time in four years, the Mountain West Conference posted the best win percentage among the 11 conferences that make up the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. The Mountain West claimed the 2007-08 Bowl Challenge Cup after sending a league-record five teams into postseason action and finishing with a 4-1 (.800) mark. The Bowl Challenge Cup was created by ESPN in 2002 as a competition among the conferences in the Football Bowl Subdivision during the college bowl season. In order to qualify to win the trophy, a conference has to have the highest winning percentage with a minimum of three teams from that conference. The Mountain West received its first Bowl Challenge Cup after registering a 2-1 record in bowl competition during the 2004 season and is the second conference (ACC) to win the trophy twice since the award’s inception in 2002-03.

Over the past three seasons, the MWC owns the best winning percentage in bowl games among the 11 conferences with a 9-4 mark (.692). The SEC is second at 15-8 (.652), followed by the Big East at 9-5 (.642). The MWC also is 6-2 against BCS automatic-qualifying conferences in bowl games since 2004.

Two Falcons in College Football Hall of Fame Two former Air Force football players have reached the pinnacle of their sport by getting inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Brock Strom, a 1959 Academy graduate, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind., in 1985. Strom was a consensus AllAmerican in 1958 and the captain of Air Force’s only undefeated team in school history. He played an instrumental role in the 1958 team that finished 9-0-2 and played in the Cotton Bowl.

Chad Hennings, a 1988 Academy graduate, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. A unanimous first-team All-America selection in 1987, Hennings received the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman. A two-time first-team all-conference selection, he is a member of the Western Athletic Conference all-time team and was named WAC defensive player of the decade for the 1980s. He is a two-time first-team academic All-American and is also a member of the Academic All-American Hall of Fame. Although he was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1988 NFL Draft, Hennings fulfilled a four-year military commitment, serving during the first Gulf War. In 1992, he rejoined the Cowboys and embarked on a nine-year NFL career that brought him three Super Bowl titles.

Former Air Force coach, L.T. “Buck” Shaw was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Shaw coached the Falcons in 1956 and 1957.

Shaw is most known for his seven stellar seasons at Santa Clara, but also coached at North Carolina State, Nevada and California, as well as two stops in the NFL with San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Former Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry, who retired in 2006 after 23 seasons, will be eligible for induction in 2011.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA HALL

OF

FAME

Six Air Force Academy graduates have been inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-American Hall of Fame. Air Force has more graduates in the Hall of Fame than any other school. Notre Dame and UCLA each have five.

Since 1952, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) has honored thousands of outstanding collegiate scholar-athletes as Academic All-Americans. In 1985, Verizon became the exclusive sponsor and three years later joined CoSIDA in establishing the Hall of Fame program with the first class being inducted in 1988. The Hall of Fame has honored 103 outstanding former collegiate scholar-athletes for their achievements in academics, athletics, professional career and community service.

Brock Strom (football) was Air Force’s first inductee and was a member of the fourth class to be inducted in 1991. Rich Mayo (football) was inducted in 1994, Michelle Johnson (women’s basketball) in 1995, Chad Hennings (football) in 1999, Chris Howard (football) in 2003 and Lance Pilch (baseball) in 2007. To have six graduates among the 103 members of the Hall of Fame is a testament to the Air Force Academy’s commitment to academics, athletics and developing leaders.

AFA MEDIA POLICIES Interviews

Credentials

General: All interviews with players and coaches must be arranged through athletic communications. Interview requests must be made at least one day in advance - NO EXCEPTIONS -- to ensure player and coach availability. Interviews with players are prohibited from conflicting with classes, practice sessions, team meetings, medical treatment and any military training. Failure to comply with this policy will result in the termination of access to student-athletes for said media outlets for the remainder of the season.

General: All credentials must be requested from athletic communications no later than noon (MST) the day before the game. No credentials will be issued the day of the game - NO EXCEPTIONS. Visiting team media are urged to request credentials through the team they cover and credentials will be distributed in advance of the game. All other credentials will be left at Will Call the day of the game. Non-rights holding radio stations will be limited to one credential.

For interviews with players and coaches please contact Dave Toller at (719) 333-3478 or Nick Arseniak at (719) 333-9251.

Internet Sites: Only accredited news agency internet sites will be granted game credentials or access to Air Force student-athletes and coaches. All inquiries must be made through athletic communications. Accreditation will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but all sites must have a recognized news affiliation.

Weekly In-Season Interviews: Interviews with players must take place before practice in a designated area or after practice and must be set up at least a day in advance. All post-practice interviews must be brief, no longer than five minutes. The student-athletes have limited time after practice. Any feature-type interview must be done prior to practice.

Game Days: No pre-game interviews with players will be granted on game day. There will be a formal press conference in a designated area following the 10-minute cooling off period. No players are available before this time. Interviews are not allowed as the players are leaving the field or as they are forming up for the Air Force song.

Coaches interviews on game days are at their discretion, but must be set up in advance with athletic communications. No studentathlete or coach can appear on a live post-game television or radio interview without permission obtained in advance of the game.

Off Days: Student-athletes are not available for interviews during off days or non-practice days. In football, this is the day after the game. For example, if AFA plays on Saturday, players are off limits on Friday and Sunday. Coaches may do interviews at their discretion on off days, but requests must be made well in advance.

Contacting Athletes: Student-athlete's private phone numbers and email address will not be issued to the media. Air Force studentathletes have also been instructed not to accept calls from media without prior notification from athletic communications.

Practices Practices are open to the media with the following guidelines.

Media members must obtain permission to video or photograph practice in advance. Media may not listen to or be in the area of any pre- or post-practice talks between the coaches and players.

These comments, if overheard, are off the record. Players and coaches may not be approached during practice. Reporters may ask the athletic communications staff about injuries, but all interviews with training staff, coaches and players must be done following practice. The player availability is uncertain depending on any post-practice treatment.

Photographers are welcome to shoot the first 45 minutes of practice only, but must not interfere with practice in any way and must stay on the outside of the practice fields.

Locker Rooms/Other facilities All locker rooms and training facilities (training and weight rooms) are off limits to media - NO EXCEPTIONS. Air Force has a closed locker room policy for both home and away games.

GoAirForceFalcons.com

Photo Credentials: Freelance photography credentials will not be issued unless the photographer has a request on company letterhead from an accredited media outlet. No credentials will be issued to "assistants" - NO EXCEPTIONS. Single-Game Credentials: Single-game credentials will not be issued to any local media outlet that has not regularly covered Air Force or the competing team, unless space allows.

Season Credentials: Media outlets must attend media day and regularly cover Air Force (attend weekly media teleconferences and/or practices) to be eligible for a season credential. If media outlets request credentials for staff members (columnists, anchors, etc.) that are not always able to attend and that staff member wishes to attend a particular game, they must call the week of the game to inform the athletic communications staff for seating purposes. A season credential doesn’t always reserve media members a seat in the press box.

Parking: Media parking passes are issued for football and men’s basketball only and are on a space-available basis. Media with season credentials and visiting media will have priority in this case.

Scouting Credentials: Professional scouting credentials are issued and seats provided as space allows. These requests must be made in advance on company letterhead.

Air Force Base Security The Air Force Academy is located on an active military base.

The athletic department facilities (except for Falcon Stadium) are best located by the media by entering the base through the North Gate (#156 exit off of Interstate 25).

If media members are coming to an event at Falcon Stadium other than on a football game day (practice) they must notify the athletic communications staff the day before to gain access to the base - NO EXCEPTIONS. If at any time the base security is heightened, media may lose their access to the base without an escort.
