HIDDEN

HEROES

ot too far from the 50-yard line lives a rousing rank of passionate but low-profile players whose tireless efforts keep our Knights energized, inspired and prepared to march towards victory. These over-achievers, behind-the-scenes warriors, and rabid Knight supporters are truly responsible for making every single game day a success.

And now’s the time to shake the stadium in sheer celebration of their spirit.

Hitting the SHOWING OUR SPIRIT High Notes LINDA GOOCH,

Head Coach, Spirit Program

DONNY ALLEN, Director of Athletic Bands

It w a s t h e “ BR R P P PPBBBBBBBB” sound that blasts from a trumpet—“so appealing to a 5th grader”—that got Donny Allen hooked on music.

Today, as the director of the Marching Knights and the Jammin’ Knights, it is music’s power to inspire and connect that keeps him playing his passionate tune. “94 percent of our band members are non-music majors,” Allen shared. “The bands provide a bridge to connect kids socially.”

And under Allen’s careful direction, the band’s performances

connect the crowd of Knights fans. His weeks are filled with plans, rehearsals, and practice, practice, practice. So that come game day, every note of the playful and pulse-pounding tunes will motivate fans

Did you know that the Spirit Program cheerleaders, dance squad, and mascots made over 120 appearances last year, not including sporting events? They put their faces and their hearts into the game and the community. All with the single-minded purpose of passing on their passion for the Knights.

“I’ve been a UCF coach for 27 years and a cheerleader since the covered wagon days,” Linda Gooch laughed. “My father retired from the military in Orlando, so I finished high school here. I never wanted to be a Gator, I just wanted to beat the Gators!”

Regardless of the team UCF is battling, the Spirit Program rarely misses a beat. On game day, they kick off the energy that inspires and ignites the crowd and players. And it’s not just cheers or chance that make them fierce.

Their “spirit” requires strength and stamina, developed through practices and training with Gooch four days a week. That human firepower that bursts forth on the field involves serious acrobatic skills, super strength—some have been UCF’s weightlifting record holders—and plain old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness, sweat.

“In many ways, we’re the face of the UCF athletics department.”

in the stands to “Turn up the Radios” and move the Knights on the field to “Reach for the Stars.”

“We play music that pushes and challenges us as performers. We’re also all about football and school spirit. Our performances stir up crowd participation and emotions.“

Suiting Up ROBERT JONES, Director of Equipment Operations

Every time you see a Knight run out onto the field or court in uniform, every time a player takes a towel during a timeout, you’re seeing the work of Robert Jones and his team. Since 2002, Jones has tackled the broad equipment necessities for all of UCF’s athletic teams. The towels alone that hit the daily wash are enough to make the average jock’s sports’ socks spin. Jones’s team, however, is anything but average.

Jones’s game days often begin at the crack of dawn and end when others are snoring or blissfully dreaming about that thrilling, last-minute touchdown. He’s the first to arrive at that away-game hotel and often the first to appear at the stadium.

And after 31 years in this business, he has never missed a deadline when it comes to having the cleats, shoulder pads, helmets, and yes, jock straps on the truck and on hand for the Knights heading in to battle.

“Game day happens whether you’re ready or not. Every sport has its unique needs, wants, pressures and deadlines.

The passion I have for my job and UCF helps me handle the fast pace. When you love what you do, the rest is easy.”

HIDDEN HEROES CONTINUED ON PG. 7

SETTING THE STAGE JOE SIMON,

Associate Athletics Director, Facilities & Operations Joe Simon ta kes his job seriously. “The timing of my second child was postponed u nt i l t h e n e w fo o t b a l l stadium was completed,” he recounted. Since his arrival at UCF in 2005, Simon and his team have been responsible for keeping Bright House Net work s Stad iu m in a condition that makes “home and visiting teams’ jaws drop when they come out to play” and inspires commentators to say ours is “one of the best fields out there.”

From tenderly tending the turf to triumphantly tossing the trash, Simon and his team work around the clock to keep every inch of the facility clean, beautiful, well-maintained and worthy of Knight pride. Even the yard lines are kept shiny and tidy—thanks to the 100 gallons of paint used each week to freshen up the football field.

“It takes an army to run a football game.”

Tailgate ucF TODAY

CELEBRATE THE TAILGATE Tips For A Great Tailgate Want to start your own tailgate crew or spice up your current one? Here are a few helpful hints based on the pre-game experiences of Corey Mathias and Mike Couillard, owner of UCF-themed restaurant The Moat.

Passionate tailgating crew takes UCF tradition to a whole new level

Not every man can handle the responsibility of being “Tailgater of The Year.” For Corey Mathias, the title comes with the territory—and by territory, we mean the stretch of parking lot that hosts his tailgating crew.

“On game week, the planning committee meets on Thursday night to figure out the menu,” said Mathias. “I send out the meeting minutes on Friday morning. So on Saturday, everyone shows up and knows what to expect.”

The menu is often themed around the opposing team—the crew smoked up some barbecue in honor of East Carolina, and when the Knights took on South Dakota, plenty of beef fell to the grill flames.

No matter what the occasion, a generous helping of UCF spirit is always on the menu thanks to the strong ties that the crew has with the university.

This year’s “planning committee” presents a diverse cross section of the UCF community.

Tyson Leider graduated last year with a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, while Hayden Hontgas earned his Engineering Ph.D. in 2007 and Mathias finished his undergraduate degree in 1987. The group’s earliest graduate, Steve Smith, began his studies at UCF when it was still Florida Technological University.

“There was a time this university was just a onelane road,” recalled Smith. “And it was a dirt road at that.”

A very different UCF shines bright in the mind of C.J. Smith, Steve’s nine–year–old

CHIVALRY LIVES HERE Do the Knight Thing

son. “I’m going to be a wide receiver for the Knights,” he declared confidently, as though the UCF jersey he was sporting already bore his name.

Mathias has a niece enrolled in UCF and

crewmembers John and Valerie Canonico have a

Mix Up The Menu

Create An Identity

You can’t beat classic burgers and hot dogs, but throwing in a few surprises during the season will make hungry mouths even happier. Stumped for ideas ?

Couillard and Mathias both look to the opposing team’s location for inspiration. And if you decide to go with full-blown themes, try to avoid repetition.

Think of your tailgating crew as a team. All teams need a name.

Before Mike Couillard opened The Moat bar in 2010, “The Moat” was the nickname of his tailgating crew. It was dually inspired by former offensive line coach Robert McFarland, who nicknamed the line “The Moat,” and a member of the tailgating crew, who came up with the moniker, “Mother Of All Tailgates.”

Get Your Timing Right

Couillard decided to take over the coordination of his tailgating crew for one simple reason: “I was tired of waiting on buns.” The last thing anyone wants is a homeless hamburger, so when you delegate, either group complementar y items together or designate an arrival time.

daughter who enrolls this year. Multi-generational attendance is a fairly new development for the young university, and the tailgating crew embraces it enthusiastically.

“It’s a real family environment,” said Mathias of

the tailgate parties. “It’s great that we can all come together to support our team.”

Cultivating team spirit is a responsibility that

the crew takes seriously. So seriously that they launched a Student Representative Committee a few years ago.

“We think of it as recruiting and training the

future generation of tailgaters,” said Hontgas. “The students don’t have to contribute anything—though most of them do. They just have to show up and hang

Celebrate The Seasons

Tailgating is about the festivity as much as the football. Your party menu should reflect that. Mathias adds his secret apple cider recipe to the game day menu in late fall, and Couillard’s crew hosts a deep-fried turkey dinner the game day after Thanksgiving.

out. It’s wonderful to keep that sort of connection to them.”

For this crew, the act of tailgating is gratifying

on many levels, and the enjoyment goes far beyond getting together to watch a football game.

“It’s really just an excuse to hang out with

friends and family for the day,” admitted Mathias, the reigning Tailgater of the Year. “No matter what happens with the game—win, lose or draw—we always have a blast. We haven’t lost a tailgate yet.”

Keep It Fun

Despite the coordination that goes into their own setups, both Couillard and Mathias stressed that tailgating should never feel like work. You can start simple – a grill, a cooler, a couple of chairs and a tent – and keep it that way. Just don’t forget the most important ingredient of all: the right people.

“The tailgate is a day away from reality. I go there, I don’t have to deal with anything in the rest of the world. I have fun, I’m with family and friends, and then I get to go and watch a football game. That’s a good day.”

– Mike Couillard

ucF TODAY Knight News

SHAKING THE STADIUM JOHN KVATEK,

“The core reason I came to UCF,” he said, “was to work with Coach O’Leary, to be a part of building the football program, and take it to the next level.”

Director of Video Operations

It takes brains, brilliance and teamwork to make game day feel larger than a linebacker. “I rely on my two great assistants—Chris and David,” shares John Kvatek. His team’s collective brain pushes the crowd’s enthusiasm button and helps propel the Knights to victory.

Kvatek leads an 18-person crew in producing game day video graphics with the power to bring the crowd to its feet, start a wave or get the team back in the game. “It’s rewarding to see the crowd response to things such as the prompts done with players. Our fans truly adore their Saturday heroes.”

Working with yards of footage, the crew also produces the coaching videos that Coach O’Leary and his staff rely on to help the Knights sharpen their skills and strengthen their game plans. These duties keep Kvatek and his team busy from morning to late at night.

“The fans are the ones who make the traditions, such as the overwhelming response during the Zombie Nation song.” v

From Field Wisdom To Life Lessons

Have you ever wondered what coaches say to inspire their players game after game? We spoke with Spirit Program Head Coach Linda Gooch and Men’s Baseball Head Coach Terry Rooney to see what they use to turn up the performance levels. As it turns out, a lot of their advice translates far beyond the field.

ON MOTIVATION

“Individuals respond to different kinds of motivation. Each game requires a different type of motivation. Ultimately, it’s about getting into a positive mindset.” – Rooney “You all aren’t tired. You’re only eighteen!” – Gooch ON DEFEAT

“While it may be disappointing, be gracious. Congratulate the opposing team. Remember that you’re representing UCF as well as yourself.” – Gooch “The season is long [56 regular season games]. Things won’t always go our way. But staying focused on the bigger picture will get you through the ups and downs.” – Rooney

Knights in the News USA Today: Knights Debut At No. 33

UCF football achieved

severa l f irsts du r ing t he historic 2010 season, including its f irst bowl victor y and top-25 national rankings.

Now with the 2011 campaign upon us, the Knights received 22 points in the USA Today Coaches Preseason Poll to rank No. 33 in the nation.

It was the highest preseason ranking UCF has

earned, and the third-straight season the Knights have received votes in a major preseason poll.

UCF also was the highest-ranked program in

Conference USA. Houston came in at No. 37 and Southern Miss was at No. 42. Boise State (No. 7) and TCU (No. 15) were the only two schools from non-automatic qualifying BCS leagues (and Notre Dame) to rank higher than the Knights.

Baseball Wins Propel Coach Rooney to Top 20 List

Following the Knights’ impressive run to the NCAA Regional

UCF Women’s Soccer a C-USA Favorite

A poll of the league’s 12 head coaches has named the UCF women’s soccer team the preseason favorite to win the 2011 Conference USA Championship. The poll also named a league-high four members of the Knights to the preseason all-conference team, including junior Tishia Jewell (Satellite Beach, Fla.) as the 2011 C-USA Preseason Offensive Player of the Year.

The Knights are the defending C-USA regular season champions after posting a mark of 8-1-2 in league play and 15-5-3 overall. UCF’s play earned them a spot in the league title game in Orlando before advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“Preseason rankings are nice and we certainly are honored that the coaches think highly of the program, but at the end of the day we are more concerned with how we finish,” head coach Amanda Cromwell said. “I am very pleased with how things are going. The training sessions are intense and competitive.

The energy is fantastic and the chemistry is coming together.

This could very well be the best defensive group we’ve had here at UCF.”

Jewell was voted the Preseason Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season, while Marissa Diggs (Rowlett, Texas) and seniors Katie Jackson (Satellite Beach, Fla.) and Aline Reis (Campinas, Brazil) joined Jewell on the preseason allconference team.

Jewell was ranked 23rd in the nation last season with 32 points on 10 goals and 12 assists. Her play during the course of the season also earned her the C-USA Offensive Player of the Year award in early November.

Tournament in 2011, UCF head coach Terry Rooney was named one of the top-20 collegiate baseball coaches of the year by Perfect Game USA.

The publication discussed the program’s rise to national prominence

since Rooney took the coaching reins three years ago.

The lone Conference USA representative on the list, Rooney

guided the Black and Gold to its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2004 with a 39-23 overall record last year. Led by Rooney, the Knights were ranked as high as No. 23 nationally in 2011 and defeated eight nationally ranked programs, including Florida, Florida State, Alabama, Rice and Stetson.

On the list with Rooney were all eight coaches whose teams reached

the College World Series last season, including National Champion South Carolina’s Ray Tanner and National Runner-Up Florida’s Kevin O’Sullivan.
