For the 2009 edition of Memphis Baseball to be suc-cessful, they must be prepared to take on a list of unique challenges, meanwhile putting a tough 2008 season out of sight and out of mind.

“The main point that we’ve talked about as a staff is to keep this team focused and upbeat with two ma-jor hurdles to overcome,” said fi fth-year head coach Daron Schoenrock. “One of them is to overcome the demons of last year and what we went through as a young team. Second is to change the outcome of those 12 one-run loss games.”

To accomplish these goals, the Tigers must fi nd a way to elevate their play against strong C-USA oppo-nents, with somewhat of another young team, and then overcome the thoughts of the struggles of the previous year.

Playing without a home in 2009 will make that task an even bigger undertaking. However, the coaching staff is encouraged by this team’s accountability in regards to the distinctive circumstances.

“Our approach (with this season) has been a little bit different,” Schoenrock stated. “We’ve asked a little bit more from this team from the standpoint of ac-countability in the fall in every area of their life and it has generated a feeling where we have more guys on the roster now that have taken ownership in what they are doing everyday than we’ve ever had.”

Coaching StaffAs has been the case since Schoenrock arrived in Memphis in 2005, staff continuity is important. pitching coach Michael Federico and hitting instruc-tor Jerry Zulli return for their fi fth year with Schoen-rock. Director of Operations Al Woods returns for a second season, while former four-year starter K.K. Chalmers joins the staff as a student assistant. First-year volunteer assistant coach Derrick Dunbar joins the Tiger staff and will take over the infi eld coaching duties.

“The roles played by Derrick (Dunbar), Al (Woods) and K.K. (Chalmers), surrounding what Coach Fed

and Coach Zulli do everyday, make this a staff that is very close,” commented Schoenrock. “This is a tremendous staff and provides another opportunity for these kids to become better young men and bet-ter players.”

PitchingIn every college baseball season, success or fail-ure usually looms with pitching fi rst. The Memphis coaching staff is optimistic about this year’s staff of hurlers. According to Schoenrock, the depth of the Tigers’ pitching staff, from top to bottom, is as solid as it’s been in his time at Memphis. The Tigers have a healthy rotation, led by junior co-captain Brach Da-vis. Davis had a solid 2008 campaign and logged summer innings that should help him. Junior college transfer Ryan Fraser has stepped in to win a spot in the weekend rotation after an impressive fall. The development of Brennon Martin and his progression in his three years in the program have him in a posi-tion to pitch on the weekends in 2009.

Marc Ashley will get some early looks as the fourth starter after a great fall season. A capable three-pitch guy, Ashley’s key to success will be whether or not he can stay healthy.

“Marc has battled injuries the last two springs af-ter coming off pretty good falls,” said Schoenrock. “We’re keeping our fi ngers crossed that his injuries are behind him. The fourth starter role is an ever-critical, unsung role of ‘Can you win on Tuesday and Wednesday and help this team get to an NCAA Regional?’”

A trio of Tigers pitchers will vie for the fi fth starter’s job early in the year. Ryan Holland returns, having pitched in that role last year. True freshman Ben Paul-lus will be in the mix as well. Paullus is one of the group’s hardest throwers and could settle into a starting role as he continues to fi ne-tune his mechanics. Af-ter sitting out the majority of the 2008

season rehabilitating an injury, senior Duke Williams looks to compete for either the fi fth starter job or a signifi cant bullpen job.

“Duke has a great work ethic and he’s the quiet lead-er of the pitching staff,” Schoenrock commented. “Not having him in the mix really affected our pitch-ing last year. We counted on getting quality work out of Duke and we look for him to be a big cog in our staff.”

Whoever doesn’t win the fi fth starter position, will immediately get put in the mix as early inning bull-pen options. The Tigers have three or four choices in the middle innings. Junior Garrett Hachtel had the best fall he’s had in his three years in the Blue and Gray, and understands what he has to do to be suc-cessful. A groundball pitcher, Hachtel will be leaned on to perform his skill, often in short spurts.

“We’re not looking for our middle relief pitchers to be 7-8-9-out type guys,” said Schoenrock. “They’re going to be guys that are going to see one or two innings, get us back in the dugout and hand the ball to a late-inning guy.”

Sophomore lefthander Marcus Barnes pitched in a tough, late-inning role as a true freshman last year, and will once again take that role early in the sea-son. Barnes has a live fastball, is a fi erce competitor on the mound and has a solid recovery time.

Junior Mark Jobe will get some looks as a middle type reliever because his of drop down delivery and groundball capabilities. The emergence of Worth Tate coming off an injury-riddled redshirt year will give Schoenrock a quality option out of the bullpen.

Schoenrock’s plan is to get the ball handed to some pitchers late in the game that the staff has confi -dence in. Matt Yokley, the program’s all-time saves leader, has been in that role for three years now and the coaches feel comfortable with the ball in his hand with the game on the line. The emergence of true freshman Heath Hatfi eld has proved that he could be that type of guy as well as junior college transfer Josh Ross. Those three guys possess swing-and-miss type pitches that the Tiger coaches want late in the game.

“Matt’s (Yokley) health is going to effect how we use him,” said Schoenrock. “He’s fi nishing the rehab from the injury he battled from about the midpoint of last year and I don’t know if he’ll be able to be an everyday-type reliever that he’s been in the past. His role may have to change and one of these other young guys—Hatfi eld or Ross—could step up and fi ll that role on days Matt isn’t available.”

All in all the Tigers have the ingredients to fi t the pieces of a solid pitching puzzle together. Although not a dominant, high velocity group of guys, it will be a staff that showcases more depth and more different types of looks.

CatchersMuch like the pitching staff, the Tigers are as deep at the catcher position as ever. With the loss of two-year starter Chris Kirkland, the Tigers will put a new face behind the plate. The addition of juco transfer Shawn Ablett was to add offensive punch to the U of M line-up. After fall workouts, the coaching staff has no doubt that he can do just that and he’ll get early looks behind the plate to provide offense. Senior Dan Kaufman benefi tted greatly from going through fall drills and will assume the backup duties.

Part of the depth in the catching corps is the ad-dition of true freshman Trey Turner and the emer-gence of and the physical improvements of Cole Shelton’s game.

“Depending on who can handle the pitching staff, protect the ball and keep the ball from going to the back stop on a daily basis, we’ll try to have those type so guys on the fi eld when the game’s on the line,” said Schoenrock.” “The basic things I look for in a catcher is to make the pitcher look good and keep the ball from going to the back stop and if you can do those two things and provide offensive punch, you’ll get an opportunity.”

Infi eldThe Tigers will put a very athletic group on the infi eld with senior Brett Bowen making the move from third base over to shortstop. Bowen played

shortstop in junior college and is comfortable in the middle of the fi eld. That pushes sophomore Chad Zurcher, who was the Tigers’ everyday shortstop last year, over to second base. The emergence of true freshman Jacob Wilson’s capability to play third at the collegiate level gives Schoenrock some other infi eld options.

“I feel like we can handle the routine play and that’s what I look for, putting guys in a position where they can be comfortable enough to dominate the routine play,” Schoenrock commented. “I want my captain in the middle of the fi eld whenever I can get him there. We have two shortstops up the middle, and Bowen and Zurcher seemed to work well up the middle in the fall.”

Redshirt freshman Adam McClain has now become a dual-position player and will get looks at second base. On days the coaching staff needs to make adjustments on the infi eld, Zurcher is capable of playing shortstop, while Bowen is defi nitely capable of playing third.

“If we get banged up anywhere, we have guys who are movable,” said Schoenrock. “We’re going to give Jacob Wilson every opportunity to be the everyday

third baseman. But, because of how fast things go as a freshman, he may need some days off. That’s where McClain’s versatility will benefi t us.”

A dual position threat, the coaching staff has experi-mented with McClain in the outfi eld to get more right handed bats in the lineup. He’s transitioned from second base to mostly to left fi eld during fall drills, but will get looks at both spots. Although he could be more of an outfi elder than an infi elder, Schoen-rock likes his ability to provide talented depth to the Tiger infi eld. Zach Clark, who has been in the Tigers’ system four years now, will also supply the U of M infi eld with quality depth. A coach in practice, Clark understands the Tigers’ systems and always pushes guys around to make them better everyday that he plays either through his knowledge or through his work ethic.

Last year’s offensive leader, Trey Wiedman returns at fi rst base, but could also get some looks in the outfi eld as Memphis creates more depth with the ability to rotate its lineup around right handed and left handed pitchers. Shelton had a great fall, offen-sively and defensively, and can be adequate at fi rst base if Wiedman goes to the outfi eld. The coaching staff feels like Shelton’s bat has to be in the lineup everyday. He’ll settle into the DH slot on days he’s not in the fi eld. Chase Sain has made a move from catcher to fi rst base this year and although he’s helped some with catching, he continues to develop with his bat and could provide some power as a pinch hitter off the bench. Ablett will also get some looks as a DH on days that he doesn’t catch.

“Once again we’re trying to create more depth, cre-ate competition, and also help this club overcome any injuries or setbacks we might have early in the season,” said Schoenrock.

Outfi eld Memphis will showcase a new-look outfi eld with the absence of K.K. Chalmers, and Robby Graham com-pleting rehab from an injury he suffered at the end of last season. Graham’s injury forced him out of fall practices and allowed the coaching staff to look at some other guys in the outfi eld as Graham went through the rehab process. Junior Tyler Huelsing is the lone returning Tiger outfi elder and will make the move from leftfi eld to rightfi eld. The young Tiger

shortstop in junior college and is comfortable in the third baseman. But, because of how fast things go

outfi eld will get much-needed leadership, experi-ence, work ethic, speed and power with the return of Chris Newsom as a fi fth-year senior. Newsom, who has worked into a starting role in each of his previous three seasons, will battle for a position at any outfi eld position and is an asset who can come off the bench as a pinch runner, pinch hitter, or re-serve outfi elder. Graham will move to left and battle with McClain as the Tiger staff tries to fi nd a way to get more right handed bats in the lineup. McClain is slated to start in leftfi eld early on. His offensive skills will help him fi nd his way into the lineup on a daily

basis. True freshman Drew Martinez will get the nod in centerfi eld. He will have big shoes to fi ll as Chalm-ers’ successor, but proved this fall that he’s mature enough to handle the everyday grind at the Division I level. A mature player, Martinez will benefi t from Chalmers being in the dugout with him.

“We’re basically replacing the guy that played cen-terfi eld every pitch for four years for us,” Schoen-rock said. “We’re excited about the potential that Drew brings.”

Other right handed bats that could see time on the outfi eld are Heith Hatfi eld and Trey Wiedman. Of-fensively, the coaches are taking it slowly with Hat-fi eld, who could see signifi cant time on the mound. Schoenrock is excited about the makeup and athleti-cism of the outfi eld.

“I think we’ll cover gap to gap very well,” he said. “Defense is going to be a little bit more of a pri-mary importance. We’re playing at a bigger park in Millington’s USA Stadium so, we’ll keep an eye on any defensive replacements we have to make late so we can defend the gaps.”

FacilitiesMemphis is faced with a sizeable challenge in the fa-cilities department this year. With major renovations of Nat Buring Stadium on the docket, Schoenrock and his squad are forced to play home games at three different venues—Millington’s USA Stadium, AutoZone Park and Tony Gagliano Field.

“The excitement of what this program has needed for a long time to compete in this league is actually going to happen and that’s the facility renovation,” an optimistic Schoenrock said. “There’s really never a good time to renovate baseball facilities that won’t disrupt a season. Either a fall, which is a very critical time for preparation, or spring. In this case it hap-pens to be the spring so we’re going to be a little bit displaced this year.”

Since his arrival in 2005, it has been a goal of Schoenrock’s to improve Tiger baseball facilities. While renovations are taking place, the squad will call Millington’s USA Stadium their primary home.

“We are defi nitely very fortunate that we have a place like USA Stadium so close to go to play week-end series’ in a league which has been mentioned as being one of the top three leagues in the coun-try,” he said.

With baseball being such a game of routine, the challenge for the 2009 Tigers is going to be getting comfortable and play in a new home. Success will be gauged on how quick the Tigers can get comfort-able with USA Stadium being called home.

Memphis will take their show to Tony Gagliano Field for three midweek games against opponents that it has had some battles with in the past. The Tiger staff will be challenged to keep the guys excited about playing at so many sites and to keep them fi red up as they get on a bus basically 56 times.

AutoZone Park has also opened up their doors for the Tigers for fi ve games this spring.

“Obviously our guys love playing at AutoZone,” Schoenrock said. “Unfortunately, when you deal with working around a minor league franchise, game times become a little bit tough to schedule.”

Despite facing a set of unique challenges, Schoen-rock is hopeful that as his team continues to prac-tice at Nat Buring on a daily basis, around the con-struction, the guys see things happening that will encourage them and push the younger guys for the future while showing the senior class that they had a big part in doing the things on the fi eld that helped this facility become a reality.

“It’s defi nitely going to be a busy, crazy time in the spring,” Schoenrock said. “I don’t know if I’ve ever faced so much uncertainty in how a team will react to something, but I’m anxious to get it going.”

The 16th baseball coach in school history, Daron Schoenrock enters his fi fth season at the controls of Memphis baseball. After a rocky inaugural season, Schoenrock confi rmed what many in the coaching world believed to be true when he was hired—that he was one of the top new head coaches in the busi-ness and that he revive a once successful Memphis baseball program.

In four years Schoenrock has done just that, taking a struggling program and returning it back to what it once was—a winner. With Schoenrock at the helm of the Memphis program that is noted as one on the rise, it was no surprise that the Tigers were able to end the 13-year postseason hiatus and earn a berth to the NCAA Tournament in 2007. With Schoenrock on the Tiger bench, the 2007 team went 36-27, marking the most wins since 1994 and, combined

with the 2006 campaign represented the fi rst back-to-back winning seasons since the 1994 and 1995 slates.

Schoenrock inherited a program that had lost its top three pitchers and 10 seniors from 2004, and struggled through a 13-42 campaign in 2005. With a well-planned goal, he wasted little time working to get the Tiger baseball program back on track, sign-ing 25 newcomers for the 2006 season, including four four-year transfers, a National Junior College Player of the Year honoree and fi ve major league draftees. Schoenrock brought those additions to-gether and led the Tigers to a 32-win season in just his second campaign. The 32 wins were the most wins for Schoenrock in his three years as a head coach and the most by a Memphis baseball club since 2001. The 19-game turnaround tied for the second-best winning turnaround in the country in 2006 and also tied for the best turnaround in Ti-ger baseball history—tying that of the 2001 team. Along with that 32-28 mark came Memphis’ fi rst ap-pearance in the Conference USA semifi nals since the 2001 season.

Hired on June 29, 2004, Schoenrock immediately brought two talented young coaches aboard, in Michael Federico and Jerry Zulli. He has taken on the tasks of a much-needed renovation of Nat Bu-ring Stadium, marketing season ticket campaigns and reorganizing the Bullpen Club to elevate the program’s image. Schoenrock is also making a con-scious effort to reach Tiger baseball alumni, having honored the 1994 team in 2005, the 1986 team in 2006, the 1978 squad in 2007 and the 1981 Tigers in 2008.

The difference he has made has been evident off the fi eld as well. In just his fi rst semester a more disciplined baseball team recorded the program’s highest GPA ever. They once again recorded a pro-gram-high GPA with a 3.12 mark in the fall 2007 semester. A mirror of its coach, his squad also has been involved in community service efforts, such as visiting children at the Ronald McDonald House, Tar-get House and St. Jude every year since his hiring. The Tigers added Streets Ministries to its goodwill efforts, preparing a meal and interacting with the inner city youth in a visit to the community outreach organization in the fall of 2006. In the spring of 2008, Memphis visited Southaven’s Field of Dreams where they held a special Meet-and-Greet session and donated gifts to support the league that serves

special-needs children in the Mid-South.

Schoenrock came to Memphis after several suc-cessful years as an assistant coach. Before taking the post as the Tigers’ skipper, he spent three sea-sons as an assistant coach on the Mississippi State staff—his fi fth year in association with former State coaching legend Ron Polk. His primary responsibili-ties included coaching Bulldog pitchers, and over-seeing MSU’s recruiting efforts. Schoenrock also coordinated the activities of the Bulldogs’ foster-parent program.

Regarded as one of college baseball’s premier pitch-ing coaches, Schoenrock has coached 77 players that have signed professional baseball contracts. He has sent 46 pitchers under his tutelage to the professional level, including Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, and Paul Maholm, who was a fi rst-round pick (the No. 7 overall) of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Three Bulldog pitchers were taken in the 2004 First-Year Player Draft. Since coming to Mem-phis, fi ve Tigers have been drafted and six have signed pro deals. Under Schoenrock’s leadership a program record four U of M pitchers were drafted in the 2008 Major League Draft.

The 2006 Major League Baseball season was spe-cial to Schoenrock as two of his former pitchers achieved national recognition. Former Kentucky Wildcat Brandon Webb won the 2006 National League Cy Young Award, while former Mississippi State Bulldog Papelbon was the runner-up for the 2006 American League Rookie of the Year honor. A three-time American League All-Star, Papelbon won the 2007 “DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award”. Webb, also a three-time All-Star selection, was the Cy Young runner-up in 2007 and 2008.

Prior to joining Polk at MSU, he served as the pitch-ing coach in 2000 and 2001 on the University of Georgia staff. In Athens, he developed a Bulldog pitching staff that, in 2001, helped boost Georgia to its fi rst SEC championship in 47 years and its fi rst appearance in the NCAA College World Series since 1990. He launched his affi liation with Southeastern Conference baseball in 1998 at the University of Kentucky. He served two seasons on the coaching staff of former MSU baseball staffer Keith Madison, coaching the UK pitchers and catchers and head-ing up the Wildcats’ recruiting program in 1998 and 1999. His coaching expertise gained national ac-claim during a highly-successful eight-year coaching stint at Birmingham Southern. His Panther pitchers

improved their staff earned run averages each sea-son and helped lead Birmingham Southern to the 1995 NAIA World Series.

In the summer that followed, Schoenrock earned a position as the short-season pitching coach for the Chicago White Sox’s affi liate in the Appalachian League.

Schoenrock was a four-year starting pitcher under Coach David Mays at Tennessee Tech University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in secondary educa-tion with a certifi cation in biology before launching his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach there in 1985. He continued his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach under ABCA Hall of Famer Johnny Reagan at Murray State University, where he earned a master’s degree in education in 1987.

Schoenrock undertook his fi rst head coaching job in 1988 at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn. He was 25-52 in his two years as coach of the Railsplitters. Schoenrock guided LMU to its fi rst postseason appearance in fi ve years and was named the Tennessee Valley Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1989. Much like the 2009 Tigers, Schoenrock’s 1989 Lincoln Memorial team played the entire season on the road as facility reno-vations were being completed.

A native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Schoenrock has been involved in numerous community outreach efforts, sharing his knowledge at coaching clinics and banquets nationwide and making several ap-pearances for speaking engagements across the country, as well as in the Memphis area since taking the head coaching post at the U of M. Schoenrock also serves as a clinician for www.mycoachonline.com, a baseball instruction website, and is also ac-tive in Fellowship of Christian Athletes program. In 1995 Schoenrock authored a comprehensive text-book on pitching titled “The Total Pitching Program.” He is currently serving a second three-year term on the selection committee for the ABCA’s prestigious Lefty Gomez Award, an annual award given for life-time meritorious service to baseball. This past fall, Schoenrock was selected as the chairman for C-USA baseball coaches.

Schoenrock, 47, is married to the former Carol Ca-wood of Harlan, Ky. Carol is involved in the Tigers’ baseball program as she coordinates the Tiger Diamond Darlings program. They are the parents of two sons, Erik, 17, and Bret, 6.

Fifth Season • Southern Miss (1998)A two-time Junior College Coach of the Year honor-ee, Federico spent three years (2002-2004) as the head coach at Meridian Community College before taking the assistant post at Memphis. In 2003 and 2004, he led his squad to the JUCO World Series in Grand Junction, Colo. In fi ve years at the juco ranks, Federico sent 41 players to four-year colleges.

Federico led MCC to a 46-14 fi nish and a ninth-place fi nish in the JUCO World Series in 2004. Several of his players received accolades following the 2004 season, as two players were named as All-Ameri-cans, four players received All-Region 23 honors, and nine Eagles were voted to the All-State team. Federico was named Region XXIII and Southeastern District Coach of the Year.

In 2003, he led the Eagles to a fi fth-place fi nish in the Alpine Bank JUCO World Series in Grand Junc-tion, Colo. The Eagles also won the MACJC Central Division, Region XXIII and Southeastern Regional Championships. Federico was honored with Region XXIII and Southeastern District Coach of the Year accolades for his accomplishments in 2003.

Before taking over the head duties, Federico served as the assistant coach for two years, working with pitchers and catchers. As an assistant, he helped lead the Eagles to two conference championships, one region, and one sectional championship and a trip to the 2000 JUCO World Series.

Prior to joining the staff at Meridian, Federico served as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Southern Mississippi for two years. In 1999, his last year with USM, he helped the Eagles to the NCAA Regionals.

As a player, Federico was a catcher at USM from 1995-1997. He served as the team captain his senior year. He started his collegiate career at Hinds Community College in 1993-1995, where he was the starting catcher with the Eagles and helped his teams to back-to-back Division II World Series.

While at USM, Federico received his undergraduate degree in physical education in 1998, and his master’s degree in sports administration in 1999.

Michael Federico is set for his fi fth year as assistant coach at the University of Memphis. Hired in July 2004 as Coach Schoenrock’s top assistant, Fed-erico is primarily responsible for the instruction of the Tigers’ pitching staff. In addition, he works with the team’s catchers and coordinates the Tigers’ ag-gressive recruiting efforts.

Under Federico’s coaching, the Tiger pitching staff improved in his fi rst two years, and then, despite an infl ux of injuries to its starting pitching rotation, got signifi cant performances to earn a berth in the 2007 NCAA Tournament.

In his time at Memphis, Federico’s mentoring has produced the program’s third Conference USA All-conference pitcher and second All-freshman selec-tion when Scott McGregor earned those honors in 2006. Under Federico’s tutelage, four Memphis pitchers—Will Hudgens, Chris Kirkland, McGregor and Neil Schenk—were selected in the 2008 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. In 11 years of coaching, Federico has had 18 players drafted, nine of which were pitchers.

A native of Slidell, La., Federico attended Pope John Paul II High School, where he was the starting catch-er for four years. During this time, he was named All-State, All-District, All-Metro and team captain.

Federico, 34, is married to the former Hannah Sosa of Bush, La. The couple has two sons, Hayden (3) and Brycen (nine months).

coach under Craig Young at Middle Georgia College from 2002-04. While at Middle Georgia, he was the team’s hitting instructor and outfi eld coach. He was also responsible for coordinating the Warriors recruiting efforts. In his fi nal two years at MGC, 12 Warriors were drafted by Major League teams.

Under Zulli’s assistantship, the Warriors went 130-51—a 72 percent winning percentage. In 2004, the Warriors placed sixth in the JUCO World Series, and ended the year with a 45-17 record. The 2002 War-riors also advanced to the JUCO World Series and ranked sixth in the fi nal National JUCO Poll.

He also spent the summer of 2004 as an assistant coach of the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Summer League. Under his assistance, the Mets advanced to the semifi nals of the Cape playoffs.

Zulli spent the 2003 summer as the assistant for the U-17 East Cobb Braves. Under his instruction, the Braves sent eight players to NCAA Division I baseball programs and captured the 2003 Perfect Game National Championship.

Zulli fi rst arrived at MGC in 1997 as a player. In 1999 Zulli helped lead the Warriors to the Region XVII Championship and fi nish a game away from an East-Central District Championship. During that year, he was a recipient of the Terry Daniels Award. He earned his associate degree in business manage-ment from Middle Georgia in 1999. He then trans-ferred to the University of New Orleans where he played under the direction of Coach Randy Bush. Zulli received his bachelor’s degree, from New Or-leans, in sports management in 2002. He is married to the former Kristen Bell of Lawrenceville, Ga.

Jerry Zulli enters his fi fth season on the Memphis Tigers’ coaching staff. Zulli is responsible for the instruction of the Tiger hitters and outfi elders. He has also taken on a signifi cant role in the recruiting process, as well as placing Tiger players on teams in collegiate-level wooden bat leagues to hone and improve their skills in the summer.

Zulli, brings a dimension of energy and enthusiasm in his philosophy of teaching the offensive game, and has an excellent ability to evaluate talent.

Zulli’s offenses have posted some of the best num-bers in Memphis baseball history over the past two seasons, including banging out a record 137 dou-bles in 2007. In 2006, the Tiger offense posted top-fi ve totals in games played, hits, RBI, runs, doubles and total bases. As one of the most feared offenses in Conference USA, 2007 was more of the same as Zulli’s bunch hit .302 and racked up 665 hits in just over 2200 at-bats. For the second consecutive sea-son, they recorded top-fi ve marks in RBI and total bases, fi nishing with 399 and 1011, respectively.

Under Zulli, numerous Tiger hitters have etched their names in the Memphis baseball record books. In 2007, Michael Murray and Adam Amar became just the second Tiger duo to collect over 85 hits in a single season. Meanwhile, Bill Moss and Joey Lieber-man each homered 14 times, representing the fi rst time in Tiger baseball history two players have hit as many home runs in the same season. With Zulli’s guidance, K.K. Chalmers took hold of several of the program’s offensive records, including the triples, runs scored and walks marks. Both Chalmers and former Tiger Amar placed their names in the Tigers’ career top-10 hits list under Zulli’s instruction.

Zulli has also made his mark on the program off the fi eld as the team’s academic supervisor. As a team, Memphis put together its best academic semester ever by posting a 3.12 GPA in the fall of 2007.

On the fi eld, Coach “Z” also serves as the third base coach during the season. While “Z” coaches third base, his product on the fi eld constantly attests his coaching ability. Not known as an offensive power when he took over as hitting coach, Zulli quickly transformed the Memphis lineup into one of the top hitting teams in C-USA. A year after hitting just .262 as a team, Memphis had a breakout season at the plate, tying Rice for the league lead and rank-ing 30th nationally with a .315 batting average in 2006.

First Season • Austin Peay (2002)The newest addition to the Memphis baseball coach-ing staff, former Jackson State Community College top assistant, Derrick Dunbar arrived in Memphis in October 2008 to take over as Tigers volunteer as-sistant/camps coordinator.

In this position, Dunbar serves as the director of Memphis baseball’s summer camps, as well as overseeing summer high school tournaments and the Fall Instructional League administration. In addi-tion, he will aid in fi eld maintenance at USA Stadium and maintain contact with former Tiger players. On the fi eld, he will coach the Tiger infi elders and assist with the hitters.

Dunbar brings 13 years of experience in competitive baseball as either a player of coach. As a player, he was a four-year letterwinner as a fi rst baseman and left-handed pitcher at Northwest High School in Clarksville, Tenn., from 1994-1997. He served as the team’s captain from 1996-97. Success at the prep level garnered him a spot on the roster at Austin Peay University, where he lettered for head coach Gary McClure from 1997-2002. The south-paw saw time on the mound and at fi rst base in his collegiate career and he was the Govs’ team captain in 2001-02.

While at Austin Peay, Dunbar spent two summers playing in the collegiate wood bat leagues. He played for the Clarinda A’s of the MINK League be-tween his sophomore and junior campaign in the summer of 2000. In the summer of 2001, he played for the Quincy Gems of the Central Illinois Collegiate League (CICL).

Dunbar entered the coaching ranks with the Clarks-ville Orioles summer baseball organization in 2002. He served as the head coach for the 13-year-old squad and assisted with the 18-year-old Orioles from 2002-05. He served as the assistant coach at his alma mater, Northwest High School, in 2003, and joined his former high school coach Jason Rice at Rossview High in 2004. He moved into college coaching in 2005 as a volunteer infi eld and hitting coach at Austin Peay. After one season with the Governors, Dunbar took the assistant position at Jackson State Community College, where he was prior to coming to Memphis. As the top assistant at JSCC, he served as the recruiting coordinator, hit-ting coach and infi eld coach. Dunbar also coached for the Vermont Mountaineers of the NECBL in the 2007 and 2008 summers.

The Dunbar File

“I truly feel that we ‘hit the jackpot’ bringing Derrick aboard in our vol-unteer assistant/camps coordina-tor position when it came open this past fall. The players truly respect his work ethic, knowledge of the game and I confi dently have turned our out-standing group of middle infi elders over to his direction. He will make a lasting impression on this program.”

One of the most decorated players in Memphis baseball history, K.K. Chalmers makes the transi-tion from player to coach in his fi rst season as a stu-dent assistant coach on Coach Schoenrock’s staff. Chalmers will assist with the Memphis outfi elders.

A four-year letterwinner in centerfi eld from 2005-08, Chalmers holds the program’s record for games played, runs, stolen bases, triples and walks. A Second-Team All-C-USA performer, Chalmers was an “Iron Man” for the Tigers, starting in 147 straight games in his career before being sidelined with an injury in the UAB series. His 112 career stolen bases ranks as the third-most in Conference USA history. A member of the 2008 College Baseball Founda-tion Preseason Wallace Watch List and team captain for the 2008 Tigers, Chalmers ranked nationally in stolen bases three times in his four-year stint (12th in 2006, 21st in 2007 and 66th in 2008). Always a threat on the base paths, the speedy Chalmers led Memphis and Conference USA with 39 stolen bases in 2006 and 33 in 2007. His 39 steals in ’06 tied Dave Anderson’s single-season record. That ac-complishment tabbed him as the fi rst Tiger baseball player ever to steal 30 or more bases in consecu-tive seasons. With Chalmers roaming the outfi eld, Memphis won 98 games from 2005-08.

Prior to signing with Memphis in 2004, Chalmers starred as a four-year letterwinner in baseball and a three-year letterman in football at Southaven High School. He helped guide SHS to three consecutive County championships from 2001-03. Chalmers was an All-Shelby Metro and All-County selection af-ter hitting .394 with fi ve home runs and 15 doubles

First Season

“Obviously, it is always special when one of your former players elects to pursue coaching. Having K.K. begin his career under my direction is an honor. He’ll approach this with the same passion, work ethic and com-mitment he approached playing the game and I anticipate a long and suc-cessful coaching career is in store for K.K.”

– Daron SchoenrockMemphis Head Coach

as a senior. He fi nished his prep career with a .412 batting average and nine homers. A high school teammate of current Tiger pitcher Brach Davis, Chalmers was also dominant on the mound, record-ing a career 1.12 ERA.

Chalmers, a native of Southaven, Miss., is slated to graduate with a communications degree in May 2009.

A tradition lives on for Memphis Baseball. Every time a Tiger home game reaches the middle of the seventh inning, it is Stan Bronson Jr.’s time in the spotlight. The 80-year-old living legend pops from his seat beside the home team’s dugout and heads to the home plate area where he acknowledges the Tiger faithful who have made it out to that day’s game. The fans, in turn, acknowledge Bronson, who has served as the Tigers’ batboy since 1958.

Stan attends every practice for both the Tiger football and baseball teams and makes cameo appear-ances at Lady Tiger basketball games and volleyball matches. He has been a Tiger baseball fi xture for more than 50 years and the U of M is looking forward to many more years with Stan in the dugout.

Known as a living legend in Tiger base-ball, he now holds a place in history as the “MOST DURABLE BATBOY” ever, as approved by Guinness World Records. Bron-son was honored by the University’s athletic department and presented the offi cial Guin-ness World Records certifi cate in a pre-game ceremony on Sat., May 5.

During Bronson’s tenure as the batboy, Memphis has played approximately 2,264 games. Bron-son will be included in the 2008 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.

Spearheaded by Tiger booster Beverley Dunn, the record-setting process came about in 2006 and was aided by yearly University of Memphis baseball media guides, as well as feature produc-tions by Shirley Downing of the Commercial Appeal and Rob Petrone of WPTY/WLMT-TV.

“Stan is a cornerstone of Uni-versity of Memphis baseball. Our players love having Stan around and I look to continue the tradition of having Stan as the offi cial batboy of Univer-sity of Memphis baseball.”

—Head Coach Daron Schoenrock

Conference USA ChampionshipsSouthern Miss to Host 2009 C-USA Baseball ChampionshipsThe 2009 C-USA Baseball Champion-ship is slated for May 20-24 in Hatties-burg, Miss. The event will be hosted by Southern Miss at Pete Taylor Park/Hill Denson Field. Eight of the league’s nine teams will participate in the tour-nament, which will open with four, fi rst-round games on Wednesday, May 20. The championship game will take place on Sunday, May 25 and will be televised by CBS College Sports.

Pete Taylor Park/Hill Denson Field Pete Taylor Park/Hill Denson Field has been the home of Southern Miss baseball since 1985, when the facil-ity was opened. “The Pete” as it is nicknamed, has seated more a million fans who have entered its gates. During that time, the Golden Eagles have been regularly among the top teams in the nation in attendance.

The stadium features bleacher seating for 2,000 fans and chair back seating for 1,678. The stadium also has media facilities and an increasingly popular right fi eld lounge area known as the “Right Field Roost,” which has reserved parking for 40 vehicles and is equipped with barbecue grills. The waiting list for a spot in this area continues to grow.

Since the park fi rst opened, it has undergone numerous improvements. In 1991, the press box was en-larged to handle radio and television broadcasts. A concession area, permanent restroom facilities, along with an electronic scoreboard also were added. Over the years, other additions have included expanded sunken dugouts, an automatic underground watering system, underground french drainage system, a full-size infi eld tarp, Triple A specifi cation lighting system, a state-of-the-art public address system, four covered batting cages equipped with pitching machines and covered bullpen mounds.

2008 SEASON HIGHLIGHTSClose CallsOf Memphis’ 32 losses in 2008, 12 were by one run. Overall, the Tigers have played in 18 games decided by a single run. Memphis is 6-12 were those games. Here is a look at the Tigers’ one-run affairs:

It’s a Marathon Not a SprintThat was true in the April 25th, 14-inning affair at Middle Tennessee. Five hours and 22 minutes after the fi rst pitch, the game ended with a groundout to shortstop. The contest is the longest game in Tiger history in terms of time, while tying for third in innings. It was also the second 14-inning game of the year for the Tiger and fi rst time the U of M had ever won a game of that length. In its history Memphis has played in four games of 14 innings or longer. Here is a look at the longest games in Memphis baseball history:

The RookieHead Coach Daron Schoenrock and the Univer-sity of Memphis put a different spin on its season opening “Meet the Tigers” banquet by inviting the true-life inspiration of the Disney movie “The Rook-ie”, Jim “The Rookie” Morris to speak. Morris, who made the rise from high school teacher and coach to Major League pitcher in one summer, followed John Grisham, who was the featured guest on ‘07, in what has become a must-attend event for Tiger Baseball.

K.K. Chalmers on Brooks Wallace Watch ListSenior centerfi elder K.K. Chalmers was named to the 2008 Preseason Brooks Wallace Watch List, as announced by the College Baseball Foundation prior to the season. Chalmers was the second Ti-ger in as many seasons to earn recognition as one the CBF’s Preseason Player of the Year nominees.

With the loss of an experienced core of eight senior starters and the bulk of the club’s offensive produc-tion from the 2007 squad that made the program’s fi rst appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1994, a young and inexperienced 2008 Tiger team was faced with the challenging task of continuing the program’s recent success.

For the fi rst time since 2005, the Tigers opened the season in the annual Service Academies Spring Classic in Millington, Tenn. Despite a strong Opening Day start from junior Scott McGregor, Memphis’s of-fense, that showcased just two starters with more than 20 career starts, was silenced by a combined 12 strikeouts from a trio of Seton Hall pitchers in a 3-1 season-opening loss. The following night Mem-phis pitchers Marc Ashley and Will Hudgens com-bined to strike out eight and held Ohio to just one run, but for the second time in as many outings, the Tiger offense was stagnate as the Buckeye pitchers banded together for 14 strikeouts and limited Mem-phis to just three hits in a 1-0 shutout. That one-run loss proved to be a theme for the Tigers’ season.

Behind three strong pitching performances the Ti-gers bounced back and broke through the win col-umn in the next game. Starter Philip Utley, middle reliever Marcus Barnes and closer Matt Yokley com-bined for 10 strikeouts as the Tigers claimed a 4-3 decision over the Air Force Academy.

The Tigers made it two-in-a-row with a 10-7 win over UT-Martin. Trey Weidman’s 5-for-5 night powered a 14-hit attack and pitchers Brennon Martin and Neil Schenk recorded a win and a save, respectively.

Riding a two-game win streak, the Tigers took on Murray State. Freshman Ryan Holland struck out eight in his collegiate debut, but several defensive mistakes allowed Murray State to score fi ve un-earned runs as Memphis missed an opportunity to extend its win streak with a 9-8 loss—its second one-run setback in three losses.

That trend would continue as Memphis suffered yet another one-run loss in the series opener versus Ohio. The Tigers knotted the series with its second one-run win of the year. Trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the sixth with just three hits, Wiedman stepped to the plate and blasted his second round tripper of the year. Memphis then took advantage of three Bobcats errors to cross three more runs to take the 5-4 win. Senior Philip Utley faced just two batters over the minimum through fi ve innings and the Tiger offense put up nine runs to clinch the series from the Bobcats.

Memphis then dropped four-straight, including a midweek sweep by Creighton and two-of-three loss-es at eventual National Runner Up Georgia.

Although the Bulldogs won the series, the fi nale pro-vided the Tigers with a season highlight. Trailing 6-3 and down to its fi nal four outs, Memphis staged an improbable comeback. With Chris Kirkland on fi rst after drawing a one-out walk, Chad Zurcher and Eric Farrell did the same with two away to load the bases and chase Bulldogs relief pitcher Jason Leaver. Jus-tin Earls entered the tight game and the fi rst batter he faced, senior K.K. Chalmers, bounced a slow hop-per to third. Chalmers’ speed forced an errant throw from Bulldogs third baseman Ryan Peisel, allowing Kirkland to score. On the play, Zurcher was able to race home and slide safely ahead of the tag to pull the Tigers within a run, 6-5. With Farrell on third and Chalmers on fi rst, the hot-swinging McClain stepped to the plate. The freshman, who already had two hits on the day, came through again with a line single to left to plate Farrell and knot the contest at 6-all. Bowen’s single through the right side proved to be the game-sealer as Chalmers came home with the go-ahead tally.

Memphis took the momentum from that marquee win and rode it to its fi rst shutout of the year—a 3-0 win at Arkansas State. In his fi rst start of the year, sophomore Brach Davis struck out a career-high fi ve batters and allowed just two hits in seven innings to lead the Tigers to a 3-0 shutout.

Once again; however, Memphis was unable to keep the streak alive as they dropped a pair of one-run tilts to Southeast Missouri as the Redhawks took two of three from the Tigers in the fi nal pre-C-USA weekend.

The U of M managed to salvage a game against SEMO. Behind strong pitching performances from Holland and Garrett Hachtel, the Tigers posted their second shutout of the season.

A season-high 18 runs in a route of Samford pushed Memphis into Conference USA action on a positive note. Sophomore Tyler Huelsing went 2-for-4 with his fi rst career home run and four RBI and the Tigers jumped out to a quick six-run lead and never looked back in handing UAB a 10-5 loss in the conference opener. The 10 runs represented the only time in the 2008 season that Memphis posted 10 or more scores in a game.

Will Hudgens allowed one run on fi ve hits and struck out fi ve, and closer Matt Yokley fanned three in an inning and a third to help Memphis improve its win streak to four straight and clinch the series win with a 5-2 triumph over the Blazers in game two. The Tigers used a furious four-run ninth to make it a clean sweep over UAB. Chalmers went 4-for-4 and capped the rally by driving in Robby Graham and Chad Zurcher with a single to leftfi eld to send Memphis to a thrilling 7-6 comeback win in the se-ries fi nale. With the victory, the Tigers clinched their fi rst-ever sweep in the opening series of C-USA play and improved to 11-10—the team’s fi rst and only time above .500 all year.

The win also completed the program’s fi rst confer-ence-season opening sweep since taking three from Saint Louis in the fi rst weekend of Great Midwest Conference action in 1995.

Memphis would be unable to reproduce that suc-cess the remainder of the year as it would go on to drop the next nine games, including six-straight in C-USA play. The losses did not come without milestone performances, however. K.K. Chalmers became the third player in Conference USA to reach 100 career stolen bases in a 4-2 loss to Austin Peay. He then became the program’s all-time leader in runs scored in a 7-4 loss to Arkansas State the following night.

The Tigers again found themselves unable to cap-ture the close games, falling victim to the one-run loss four times in the nine-game slide. Two of those close losses came against No. 12 Rice and No. 23 Ole Miss.

Cole Shelton came up with a two-run single to send Memphis past Mississippi State 9-8 in 10 innings and bring the nine-game season losing streak to an end as well as the Tigers eight-game losing string to Mississippi State.

Memphis went on to win three of the next fi ve con-tests, including pounding out a season-best 18 hits in a 17-14 slugfest at Murray State and a 91-pitch complete-game gem from Brennon Martin in a 7-3 victory over UT-Martin in the Razz Classic.

Memphis suffered two more one-run setbacks as part of a four-game losing streak, before fi nding the win column by outlasting Middle Tennessee 17-11 in a 14-inning marathon.

The taste of victory would be short-lived as the Tigers lost the next 13 tilts heading into their season fi nale. The streak saw Memphis get swept in three C-USA series and give up 10 or more runs seven times.

Fueled by its seniors, the Tigers did end the season on a positive note. K.K. Chalmers, Philip Utley and Neil Schenk made the fi nal game of their careers memorable ones as the trio put together solid per-formances to lead Memphis to a 7-5 win over No. 30 East Carolina in the season fi nale. Utley and Schenk combined to strike out nine ECU batters, while K.K. Chalmers went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs scored and an RBI as the Tigers snapped a season-long 13-game losing streak.

Adam Amar was listed on the 2007 Wallace Watch List.

Chalmers Steals Way Into Record BooksWith his stolen base in the eighth inning vs. Houston on May 3, senior K.K. Chalmers took sole posses-sion of the No. 2 spot on the Conference USA all-time stolen bases list. The third player in league history to reach the 100-stolen bases milestone, Memphis’ all-time leader in steals swiped 23 bases in ‘08 and fi nished his career with 112 stolen bases–second only to Tulane’s Andy Cannizaro (127) on the Confer-ence USA all-time ledger with 112 bags.

Chalmers Takes Triples MarkAlready the program’s stolen base leader, K.K. Chalmers took over another mark on March 5. The 5-7 centerfi elder banged his 14th career triple off the wall in the fi rst inning of game one of the doubleheader vs. Creighton to move into sole pos-session of the top spot on Memphis’ triples list. He surpassed former Tiger infi elder Cary Fenton, who legged out 13 triples in 1993-94. Chalmers rounded out his career with 15 triples.

New Kids on the BlockMemphis’ Opening Day starting lineup showcased a different twist from what U of M fans were used to. The Tigers’ 2007 lineup featured seven seniors and two juniors that had a combined 755 (83.8 starts per fi elder) total NCAA D-I starts. The 2008 starting lineup showcased fi ve newcomers (three freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors and one senior) and had a combined 79 D-I starts, with Chris Kirkland making 41 of them. Here is a look at the 2007 and 2008 starting lineups.

Lucky No. 7Just 23 games into his collegiate career, sopho-more Trey Wiedman placed his name in the Tiger baseball record books by posting hits in seven con-secutive plate appearances. The seven hits in seven consecutive plate appearances/at-bats tied the pro-gram’s record held by three former Tigers—Doug Granger (1978), Jeff Robinson (1978) and Steve Moss (1990). Wiedman did have two other plate appearances in the game and neither counted as offi cial at-bats. He hit a sac fl y to rightfi eld and was walked to fi nish the night 2-for-2.

First Time for EverythingThe sweep of UAB marks a fi rst for Memphis as the Tigers have never gotten off to a 3-0 star tin C-USA play. The last time Memphis opened league play with three straight wins was in 1995 when they swept Saint Louis to begin Great Midwest play. Chad Zurcher was one of 12 fi rst-year Tigers and eight freshmen called into action to contribute signifi cantly

in 2008.

Just 14 games into the season, Memphis was dealt a tough blow when an injury forced freshman Adam McClain to redshirt the 2008 campaign.

Wiedman Named C-USA co-Hitter of the WeekSophomore fi rst baseman Trey Wiedman was named Conference USA co-Hitter of the Week on Mon., Mar. 3, marking his fi rst-ever weekly honor. For the week, Wiedman batted .647 (11-for-17), with seven RBI, three home runs and three runs scored. He posted multiple hits and homered in all three of Memphis’s games, including banging a solo shot and a three-run blast in consecutive games to help the Tigers win the weekend series versus Ohio University. In addition, he was perfect at the plate in three of the fi ve games that week.

Goin’ Ber-ZurchFreshman Chad Zurcher tied a program and Confer-ence USA record with his nine at-bats versus Middle Tennessee on April 23. Zurcher went 4-for-9 in the game, including collecting two hits in the 14th and scoring the game-winning run. He is the fourth Mem-phis player to record nine at-bats in a single game.

Tigers in the Final PollsYear Record Collegiate Baseball Baseball America 1976 32-11 22 - 1978 40-9 9 -1981 48-11-1 11 181994 52-11 23 23

Dave AndersonAnderson, who was noted as an All-American, All-District and a First team All-Metro selection in 1981, set what was then the single-season record in hits (87), RBI (61), home runs (14) and total bases (153). His 39 stolen bases are tied with K.K. Chalmers and Rene White for the single-season record. Anderson, who came to Memphis in 1978 as a quarterback, was a two-year let-

terwinner on the baseball diamond, before being drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers as the 22nd overall pick 1st round of the 1981 amateur draft. After a pair of all-star seasons in minors, Anderson was called up to the Majors. He spent 10 years in the big leagues, playing for the Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants. He won a World Championship while with the Dodgers in 1988. In his career, Anderson was a .242 hitter, with 143 RBI, 73 doubles, 49 stolen bases and 19 home runs. After fi nishing his playing career, An-derson pursued a managing career in the Minor Leagues. He managed the Jamestown Jammers, Lakeland Tigers, Jacksonville Suns and Toledo Mudhens. He earned New York-Penn League Manager of the Year honors in 1994 and was named the Southern League All-Star manager and Double A American League All-Star Game manager in 1998.

Anderson returned to his alma mater in 2001, to take the reigns of a pro-gram that had suffered four losing seasons in fi ve years, including a 15-37 campaign in 2000. He quickly went to work and the Tigers produced by go-ing 34-24 in his fi rst year. The 26-game turnaround was the best in NCAA Division I. Anderson went on to win 104 games from 2001-2004.

Bobby KilpatrickThe most successful coach in Memphis baseball history, Coach Bobby Kilpatrick served the Univer-sity of Memphis as the head base-ball coach for 21 years. Under his tutelage Memphis won 653 games, including a pair of Metro Confer-ence titles in 1976 and 1978. He led Memphis to NCAA Regional appearances in 1976, 1978 and 1981. Both the `78 and `81 teams advanced to the Regional Champi-onship game.

Kilpatrick took a struggling Memphis program and turned it into a national power as 33 former Tigers were drafted in the Coach K Era. He was the fi rst Tiger coach to post consecutive 30-win seasons in 1975 and 76 and then became the fi rst to guide Memphis to a 40-win season when his 1978 squad went 40-9. In his tenure as Memphis’ skipper, Kilpatrick led the Tigers to 14 30-win campaigns and 20 winning seasons.

Coach Kilpatrick stepped down from his head coaching post after the 1992 season. His legacy continued as the Tigers went on to advance to the Great Midwest Conference tournament championship in each of the next three seasons. Memphis claimed the GMC crown in 1993 and 1995. At the con-clusion of his coaching career Coach K remained heavily involved in the baseball program, as well as eight other Olympic sports as the University’s spring sports coordinator.

Kilpatrick also served as the Special Events Coordinator for Memphis, serv-ing as the tournament director for three different NCAA Basketball First and Second Round tournaments and one NCAA Women’s Regional Final.

Mark LittleA native of Edwardsville, Illinois, Mark Little came to the Tiger baseball program and re-wrote the career hitting record book in just two seasons. Little, who was drafted in the 8th round by the Texas Rangers after an All-Ameri-can campaign at Memphis in 1994, still holds the Memphis baseball career record for batting average (.424) and single season records for hits (104), runs scored (93), RBI (86), home runs (21), slugging percentage (.816) and total bases (195). He is still tied for the single game record for home runs in a game, three, a feat he

accomplished against Dayton in 1994. He also still holds the school record for longest hitting streak (24 games). Behind the power of Little, the 1994 Tigers advanced to the NCAA tournament, falling one game short of the College World Series. Little was named to the 1994 NCAA All-Region team and was named the Great Midwest Conference MVP. After being drafted in 1994, Little spent six seasons in minor league baseball, including one sea-son in Memphis in the PCL, before being called up to St. Louis. Little then spent two more years with Memphis in the PCL before playing the next four years in MLB with three different teams (Colorado, Arizona and the New York Mets). Most recently Little played 32 games for the Cleveland Indians in 2004 and has played in over 150 games in Major League Baseball. He was an outfi elder for the Albuquerque Isotopes, a AAA affi liate of the Florida Marlins, before retiring in 2006.

Mike PaxtonPaxton was a four-year letterwinner under Head Coach Bobby Kilpatrick, whose jersey was retired last season. In his stint in the Blue and Gray, the right hander went 22-11 and struck out over 200 batters. The 22 wins he posted on the mound ranks sixth all-time on Memphis’ career pitching wins list, while his 2008 strikeouts and 259 innings of work are both ranked fi fth. The Memphis, native

recorded 19 complete games as Tiger, including going the distance in one of the program’s 11 one-hitters to defeat Millikan College 2-1 in 1975. Pax-ton put up two of the program’s top-fi ve single-season ERA totals when he fi nished with a 1.87 (fourth on Memphis’ single-season list) in 1974 and then followed that by posting a 1.98 ERA in 1975. He led the Tigers in innings pitched in ‘74 and then paced the staff in innings (67.0) and strikeouts (68) in the ‘75 season. He was inducted into the M-Club Hall of Fame in 1982.

Paxton was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 1975 amateur draft and worked his way through the farm system. He made his Major League debut in a Red Sox uniform against the Minnesota Twins on May 25, 1977. As a rookie, he went on to post a 10-5 record, with a 3.58 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 108 innings of work. He made 12 starts in 29 appearances. His strongest outing came on July 28, 1977 when he tossed a 12-0 complete-game shut-out against the Milwaukee Brewers.

He was traded to the Cleveland Indians prior to the 1978 season and had perhaps the most productive season of his four-year career. He worked 191 innings and went 12-11 with 96 strikeouts in 27 starts. In his 27 starts, Paxton went the distance fi ve times. He was dominant, posting a pair of complete-game shutouts in the 1978 schedule. Paxton accomplished and unusual feat on July 21, 1978 when he struck out four batters in the fi fth inning of an 11-0 win against the Seattle Mariners.

Paxton fi nished his career in 1980 with the Indians. For his Major League stint, he went 30-24 in 99 appearances with 63 starts and 10 complete games. He struck out 230 hitters and posted a 4.71 lifetime ERA.

2007June 1, 2007(2) Michigan 10, (3) Memphis 7Memphis (36-26) 011 002 021 - 7 11 1Michigan (40-16) 003 020 41x - 10 13 0

Adam Amar homered twice and drove in three, but a four-run seventh inning by Michigan sent the Tigers into the elimination round of the 2007 NCAA Nashville Regional with a 10-7 loss.

After a two-run blast off the leftfi eld foul pole by Joey Lieber-man cut Memphis’ defi cit to 5-4, the Tigers gave away three unearned tallies to fall behind 9-4 in the seventh.

Amar brought Memphis to within three runs when he launched his second homer of the afternoon--a lined drive over the left centerfi eld wall– to make it a 9-6 ballgame. Memphis rallied for a run in the ninth and brought the tying run to the plate, but was unable to complete the comeback.

In its fi rst NCAA Regional contest since 1994, Memphis jumped on the board fi rst as Amar quickly jumped on a Zach Putnam fastball, sending it over the 35-foot leftfi eld wall and onto the roof of Memorial Gymnasium.

The Tigers went up 2-0 in the third when Michael Murray drove Tyler Huelsing in with a single through the left side.

Tiger starter Scott McGregor (5-4) ran into trouble. The Wolverine offense touched the right-hander for three runs in the inning and never trailed from that point on.

Lieberman’s home run was the 27th of his career as a Tiger, while Amar produced his milestone 30th round-tripper. The senior is second all-time at Memphis in home runs.

Murray, Bill Moss and Amar had two hits each. Murray ex-tended his hit streak to a career-long 21 games. Huelsing was the leader of the offense, banging out a team-high three singles and scoring two runs.

Putnam went eight innings and fanned seven to lead Michigan to its 40th win of the year, while McGregor surrendered fi ve runs on eight hits in fi ve innings. He struck out two. Dusty Davis came on in relief of McGregor to strike out four in two frames.

Austin Peay opened the contest with a six-run fi rst and then plated six runs in the fi fth en route to eliminating Memphis from the NCAA Championships Nashville Regional with an 18-7 decision. The Tigers, who posted an improved record for the second straight season fi nish the year 36-27--the most wins by a Memphis club since 1994.

Memphis trailed 9-3 through three-and-a-half innings before inclement weather forced a 3:28 rain delay.

A rejuvenated Tiger club came out in the fourth, and high-lighted by two-run homer to right off the bat of Adam Amar, cut the defi cit to just two runs at 9-7. Memphis was unable to score again.

Three APSU pitchers held Memphis scoreless over the fi nal fi ve innings, while the Govs posted a six-run fi fth.

Austin Peay tacked on a run in the sixth and pinch hitter Tyler Bullock launched a two-run blast in the eighth for the 18-7 fi nal. Tiger starter Ben Grisham struggled early and never was able to settle in as APSU touched him up for six runs on fi ve hits in the opening frame. Grisham took the loss. An RBI-single by Chris Kirkland followed by a two-run double that hit 30 feet high on Hawkins Field’s 35-foot leftfi eld wall, made it a 6-3 ballgame after two innings of play, but the defi cit proved to be too much for the Tigers in the end.

Memphis banged out 14 hits in the contest. Amar and Kirkland had three hits each. Murray joined the duo with two RBI. Murray fi nishes his Tiger career with a 22-game hit streak--just one game shy of the program record of 23 straight games produced by Mark Little in 1994. Amar

fi nished the Nashville Regional 5-for-9 with three homers. He hit 31 round-trippers in his career.

The 18 runs by Austin Peay represents the highest offensive output against Memphis in NCAA Regional competition, top-ping the 17 runs scored by Minnesota in a 17-4 NCAA West Regional tilt in 1976.

Memphis’ 36 wins was four more than the Tigers posted in 2006, marking the second straight season Daron Schoen-rock led the U of M to an improvement in the win column.

It did not take long for Memphis to get things rolling as Cary Fenton led the game off with a triple. Mark Bland drove him in, and Nate Weimer and Jeff Ince later made it 3-0 with RBI hits. The Tigers then extended the lead to fi ve runs on Hoekstra’s two-run double.

NSU closed the gap with a pair of runs in the fourth, but Hoekstra responded with another RBI and then came around to score for 7-2 cushion.

But UNC used two MSU errors to rally for fi ve runs over the next two innings to tie the contest and 8-8.

Memphis rallied for a run in the top of the ninth, on a solo homer by James Davis, but that would be all the Tigers of-fense could muster in the fi nal frame.

Welcome to AutoZone Park...The 2009 season marks the ninth year of a special cooperative between the University of Memphis baseball program and the Memphis Redbirds. With renovations to the Tigers’ home ballpark in the works, head coach Daron Schoenrock and his club will call AutoZone Park home for fi ve games in 2009, includ-ing a C-USA series versus UCF (April 3-5) and its annual marquee matchups with Ole Miss (April 1) and Mississippi State (May 12). This year the tilt with Mis-sissippi State will be game one of a Tigers-Redbirds doubleheader at the downtown ballpark.

The relationship began on August 20, 2001, when former Tiger head coach Dave Anderson and his squad gathered in front of AutoZone Park in downtown Memphis to reveal what U of M fans had anticipated for weeks. Tiger baseball would begin a relationship with the Memphis Redbirds that would allow the U of M to share the minor league stadium that many have deemed the best ballpark in all of minor league baseball.

Accompanied by U of M Athletic Director R.C. John-son, Redbirds Co-Founder Dean Jernigan and Presi-dent of the Memphis Redbirds’ Baseball Foundation Rita Sparks, Anderson fi nally outlined his AutoZone plans at the late-August press conference.

“This is a great day for our baseball program,” Anderson said. “AutoZone Park is one of the fi nest baseball parks in the country and now we can tell all of our recruits that they will be playing on the same fi eld as the Mark McGwires and Albert Pujols. They’ll be dressing in a state-of-the-art clubhouse and playing in a big-league park.”

“This is indeed an important day for our baseball program,” Johnson told reporters. “It is important for us because it demonstrates that our program is headed in the right direction and that the Memphis business community is behind us.”

Memphis played just one game at AutoZone Park in the 2001 season. The result was a 3-1 win over Ole Miss for its fi rst win at the minor league ball park.After the Redbirds released their 2002 home

schedule, Anderson announced that Memphis was scheduled to play 14 home games at the minor league facility. Memphis’ second season of play at the ‘Zone saw the Tigers host conference series against USF, UAB and then-C-USA newcomer East Carolina. The Tigers also hosted non-conference opponents Middle Tennessee State, Southeast Missouri State, and SEC rival Ole Miss.

The Tigers’ second season saw the club post a 3-10 record at AutoZone. A pair of conference wins over USF and a non-league triumph over Southeast Mis-souri St. highlighted the 13-game schedule.

The Tigers produced one of their more dramatic wins in recent memory during the 2003 campaign at AutoZone Park. Designated hitter Ryan Martin hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to defeat Mississippi State 8-7. Memphis went 2-4 in games at the minor league facility last season also winning its C-USA opener 3-2 against Louisville with a ninth-inning rally.

The Tigers called the ‘Zone home for fi ve contests in 2004. Year four got off to a rough start, with Ole Miss handing the Tigers one of the worst losses in history. Memphis then bounced back to defeat Austin Peay, 5-2, in a game that was originally slated to be played at Nat Buring Stadium. A dramatic 6-5 win over league foe No. 18 East Carolina highlighted the Tigers’ fi ve-game schedule at the downtown ball park as they fi nished the year with a 2-3 mark at AutoZone.

Year fi ve showcased just one contest at AutoZone. The Tigers battled No. 22 Ole Miss, but fell short in a 6-5 decision.

The downtown park remained unkind to Schoenrock and his crew in 2006 as the Tigers losing streak at AutoZone extended to fi ve games after an 8-4 loss to Ole Miss, followed by a 5-3 setback to Missis-sippi State.

The 2007 schedule at AutoZone Park was the Tigers’ most successful one to date. Memphis went 3-1 and claimed the AutoZone Classic title in its four games in the downtown gem. The Tigers’ lone loss came in the last of the four tilts, when the 13th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels defeated them 10-2. The three wins tied the Tigers’ most wins in a season at AutoZone Park and represented the most U of M victories since the 2002 season.

Two games were scheduled for AutoZone Park in 2008, but due to weather, the Tigers were able to get just one of those contests in. However, it proved to be a thriller as Memphis defeated Mississippi State 9-8 in 10 innings to end a nine-game skid.

Memphis is 12-21 all-time in its eight years of action at AutoZone Park.

Thanks to a $3 million gift from FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX), construction will begin redesign of Nat Buring Stadium, the home of Memphis Tiger baseball since 1972. The gift will bring about the end of an era in Tiger baseball as the ballpark will be renamed FedEx Park.

In addition to the new scoreboard that was put in place in January 2008, future plans for the Tigers’ baseball complex call for a new dressing facility, dugouts, grandstands, concession areas, pressbox and private suites which will aid players, teams and fans with their game day experience. The dress-ing facility will include locker rooms for both Tiger coaches and players, offi ce and meeting space, indoor pitching and batting cages, as well as a direct entrance into the Tiger dugout and fi eld at game time. The grandstand area will feature an expanded press area for media covering the events, as well as new constructed restrooms and concession stands. The pressbox will have private booths for both radio and television broadcasts, as well as working media and event management areas. A grand entrance way is also planned into the ballpark from the leftfi eld parking lots.

Named after Nat Buring, a generous donor to the University of Memphis athletic program and owner of Buring Food Packing, Nat Buring Stadium served as home for Memphis baseball for 36 years. Since its opening on March 14, 1972, the “Nat” provided a fantastic setting for top-notch NCAA Division I baseball.

In 36 seasons at Nat Buring, Memphis compiled a 667-295-1 record. The year 1972–the inaugural season at Nat Buring–also marked the fi rst coaching season for former skipper Bobby Kilpatrick.

On March 27, 1991, the Memphis Athletic Depart-ment ushered in a new era at Nat Buring Stadium–night baseball. The Tigers hosted Mississippi State University in the program’s fi rst-ever night game played at “The Nat”. The Tigers played three times under the lights in 1991.

While the ballpark’s surroundings will be renovated, the playing fi eld will remain the same. Noted for its cozy dimensions, it has often proved to be a pitchers’ park when the wind blows in from left fi eld. However, when the wind blows out to left, hitters would think

differently. The dimensions down the lines are 318 and 317 feet in left and right fi elds, respectively, 360 in the alleys and 379 to center fi eld.

Also, the Tiger baseball team is fortunate to have access to the Billy J. Murphy sports complex, which neighbors the stadium on the University’s Park Avenue Campus. The Murphy Complex offers top-notch training facilities, including the baseball team’s clubhouse and indoor training facility.

Several other renovations have taken place since the stadium opened in 1972. Besides the 1991 addition of lights to the stadium, a new backstop was installed at the beginning of the 1994 season to allow better visibility for the fans. Chairback seats were also installed in the grandstand area for better comfort and enjoyment of Tiger baseball games.

During the summer of 1994, the playing surface of the infi eld was overhauled, giving Nat Buring Stadium one of the best natural grass playing surfaces in the South. In the winter of 1999, new dugouts were constructed. In the spring of 2004, the entire play-ing fi eld was leveled out and resurfaced for better playing conditions. A new wall was added to the list of stadium improvements in the winter of 2005. Prior to the 2006 campaign, fi eld turf was installed around the batter’s circle to help maintain the fi eld’s aesthetic in the high-traffi c area.

Following the 1971 season, the Tigers moved to Nat Buring from Tobey Park, located at the corner of Hollywood and Central. The team also played games at Blues Stadium, which in now known as the former Tim McCarver Stadium.

The fi rst game played at Nat Buring Stadium was on March 14, 1972 when the Tigers defeated Mississippi State 11-2 in game one of a doubleheader. Memphis went on to sweep the Bulldogs with a 4-2 victory in the evening game. The Tigers were also victorious in the fi nal game at Nat Buring, outlasting East Carolina 7-5 on May 17, 2008.

Nat Buring Stadium hosted two Missouri Valley Conference Tournaments (1972, 1973), two Metro Conference Tournaments (1976, 1977) and the Great Midwest Conference Tournament in 1993. Memphis recorded winning records at home in 33 of its 36 seasons at “The Nat”, including posting a program-best 32-1 mark in 1981.

Tony Gagliano Memorial Field will serves as the home for Tiger baseball for three contests in the 2008 season. One of a pair of home fi elds for the Connie Mack and Mickey Mantle division Memphis Tigers, Gagliano Field is a fi rst class facility with stadium seating for 1,500 fans and additional seat-ing for 1,000 people down the right and left fi eld lines. Gagliano Stadium was built in 1967 as a co-op between the City of Memphis and American Legion baseball. By 1979 it was ready to host a major amateur tournament when AABC brought the Mick-ey Mantle World Series to Memphis and Gagliano. Mickey Mantle himself ushered in the tournament every year until 1983 when the AABC moved the tournament to Waterford, Conn. The same year the Mickey Mantle World Series left, the Connie Mack Southeast Regional came to Memphis and Gagliano Stadium, where it has been hosted since.

From 1967-1994 the stadium went through a period of disrepair with the City of Memphis, so in 1994, AABC took over the Complex which now consists of Gagliano Stadium and Sowell Field.

Since taking over the complex, AABC has replaced the lighting at Gagliano with a high resolution, hy-drogen lighting system, replaced the outfi eld fence

with an eight-foot high, wood fence, bought state of the art John Deer Field equip-ment and installed a new playing surface in 2000.

The com-plex hosted the “Spring Fling,” TSSAA State Baseball Championships in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

In 2006, Tiger President George Moreland spear-headed an effort to upgrade the facility by adding stadium seats salvaged from Tim McCarver Sta-dium.

Additionally, the CBS College Sports agreement includes video-on-demand, Internet, broadband, national over-the-air and satellite radio, and wireless distribution as well as corporate marketing rights, and website production through CSTV.com, part of CBS College Sports. The agreement with ESPN extends the conference’s current regular season football pack-age to include the broadcast of the Conference USA Football Championship Game. It also encompasses distribution of men’s basketball and women’s bas-ketball on ESPN/ESPN2 and both C-USA tourna-ment championship games.

C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY The conference’s footprint is concentrated with 12 members in nine states and a combined area popu-

lation of nearly 17 million. More than 1.1 million living alumni represent C-USA schools across the nation. With a renewed commitment to community involvement, the conference has begun develop-ment of several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. GOV-ERNANCE Along with the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC, Conference USA is one of the seven conferences having signifi cant repre-sentation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors. R. Gerald Turner of SMU currently serves as chair of the C-USA Board.

A PROUD HISTORY; A PROMISING FUTUREConference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commis-sioner on April 24, 1995, in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participa-tion in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996.

The league’s headquarters were established in Chi-cago and, after nine years, relocated to the current offi ce in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s fi rst commissioner.

C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competi-tion in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began foot-ball play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003.

After celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2004-05 season, C-USA began a new chapter in 2005-06 when its current membership came to-gether to form the new look of the league.

Since its formation, C-USA has established a strong foundation, an identity and a history that refl ects the league’s national presence. Thirteen years of remarkable history has reinforced the league’s posi-tion in collegiate athletics, setting the course for the next decade and beyond.

Dr. Shirley C. Raines became the 11th presi-dent of the University of Memphis on July 1, 2001. She is the fi rst woman to hold the presidency of the University, which was founded in 1912. Before her appointment at the University of Memphis, Dr. Raines was Vice Chancellor for Academic Services and Dean of the College of Education at the University of Kentucky. While at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, she received the Distinguished Faculty Member award and has received two research awards from the Eastern Educational Research Association. She is the author of 14 books and numerous journal articles and is widely regarded as an expert in teacher education and early childhood education. During the years of Dr. Raines’ tenure at the University of Memphis, the following building proj-ects have been completed: the FedEx Institute of Technology, the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management, the Student Activities Plaza and fountain, the clock tower, Uni-versity Services Building with new bookstore, the Athletic Training Facility, additions to the Carpen-ter Student Housing Complex, and the renova-tion of Wilder Tower, which is devoted to student services. New construction ventures underway include renovation of the former Millington Naval Hospital to classrooms for the University’s Milling-ton Campus, a new student center, a new sustain-able design residential dormitory, and the reloca-tion of the Law School to the historic downtown location on the Mississippi River. Described in The Commercial Appeal as “powerful, prepared and personable,” she has become known for her effective work in build-ing productive partnerships on and off the cam-pus.

R.C. Johnson has worked 35 years in athletic administration. He was named the Director of Athletics at the University of Memphis on December 29, 1995. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing University of Mem-phis Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 12-plus years, the dynamic administrator has structured one of the most successful coaching staffs in the history of Tiger athletics and continues to strive for athletic and academic excellence while recogniz-ing the importance of building strong university and community ties. Since his arrival, Johnson has hired such high-profi le coaches as former Clemson head football coach Tommy West, who has taken the Tigers to a bowl game in four of the last fi ve seasons, and former New Jersey Nets and UMass head basketball coach John Calipari, who had his squad in the 2008 Na-tional Championship Game. In the last fi ve years, six U of M coaches have earned Conference USA Coach of the Year honors, including Calipari, who earned the league’s top honor in both 2006 and 2008. Also in the last fi ve years under Johnson, the Ti-gers have captured 12 C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. Calipari has led his Tigers to four regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008) and three C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008). Richie Grant led the men’s soccer program to a league championship in 2004, while Brooks Monaghan piloted the women’s soccer team to consecutive C-USA titles in 2007 and 2008. In the spring of 2007, Kevin Robinson earned C-USA Coach of the Year honors af-ter leading the Tigers to an outdoor track championship. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which will benefi t nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Offi ce Building, the newly-completed softball complex, an approaching redesign of the Tiger baseball stadi-um, a golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and a Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s fi rst capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising ef-fort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball offi ce complex addition, a new basket-ball practice facility, which is still considered one of the

percent graduation rate of all student-athletes who complete their eligibility at the U of M. Before taking over Tiger Athletics, Johnson was responsible for directing a Temple program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20 men’s and women’s intercollegiate sports, including nationally-visible programs in men’s basketball and football. He was named Temple’s director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after serving nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. He had also previously led the department at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88, and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant at Mankato State University from 1968-74. He coached at Youngstown State Uni-versity during the 1967 and 1968 seasons after serv-ing as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa (1965-67) and the University of Iowa (1963-65). An Ottawa, Ill., native, Johnson holds his bach-elor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson is a member of the National Associa-tion of College Directors of Athletics and serves on the NCAA Leadership Council. A veteran adminis-trator in Conference USA, Johnson sits on both the C-USA Bowl Committee and the league’s Finance Committee. His involvement in the Memphis com-munity includes serving on the Memphis and Shelby County Sports Authority, and he most recently was invited to serve on the Mayor’s Stadium Committee which is charged with evaluating the feasibility of a new football stadium. In addition, he is a member of the University of Memphis President’s Council. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three chil-dren: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; fi ve grandchildren and one great grandson.

best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 36 members under Johnson. A signif-icant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative long-term contract extension with Learfi eld Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multime-dia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. In addi-tion, the terms of the new agreement allow for options to continue through the 2021-22 academic year. The Tigers signed on with Learfi eld Sports in 2001, grant-ing the partner radio and television rights, athletic ven-ue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the offi cial athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a fi nancial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2007 and spring 2008, 315 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 35 students excelled with a 4.0 GPA. Ten teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and the athletic department as a whole is represented by a 2.8 GPA for the entire year. In May 2008, 39 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. And, under Johnson’s guidance, Memphis boasts an 89

The Tigers’ Park Avenue Campus Strength and Conditioning facility is located next to the remodeled indoor turf room in the Billy J. Mur-

phy Athletic Complex. Opened in January 1993, the facility serves each of the Univer-sity’s intercollegiate sports programs. Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Stark oversees all workouts at the Park Avenue Campus. He is aided by graduate assistants Josh Medler, Kyle Miller and Chad Smith and volunteer as-sistant Ken Roach. The Tiger football, men’s and women’s soccer, baseball, softball and track teams work out with Stark and his staff. A former U of M football player, Stark has worked with over 40 NFL players, in-cluding the Carolina Panthers’ DeAngelo Williams, the New England Patriots’ Ste-phen Gostkowski, the Cleveland Browns’ Brandon McDonald, the Detroit Lions’

The 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effec-tiveness and effi ciency.

WEIGHT ROOMWEIGHT ROOMHIGHLIGHTSHIGHLIGHTS

Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff’s certifi ed specialists, and each student-athlete’s individual progress is projected via a computerized database.

The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise tech-niques are simplifi ed and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fa-tigue). Performance based fi tness and work quality are the bottom-line objective.

The weight room’s equipment upgrade plan refl ects this philosophy and includes: 10 self-contained Olympic plat-forms and power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, glute/ham stations, cable stations and other supplemental pieces allowing student-athletes to perform an unlimited variety of exercises and movements.

The modern and spacious facility is also equipped with dressing/restrooms; is naturally illuminated; and is main-tained at a constant 70-74 degrees.

In planning the long-range Tiger Power programs, student-athletes are assigned to respective developmental levels based on individual ability and training history. For exam-ple, newcomers begin with an extensive volume of “foun-dational” or generalized movements and progress toward more intensive and specialized exercises with each suc-cessive phase.

The actual workout menu may remain fairly constant over a student-athletes four- or fi ve-year sport career; however, broad variations in workload combine the program’s sim-plicity with a measure of sophistication.

In addition to the Murphy Athletic Complex weight room, there is a weight facility in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse that was refurbished in the spring of 2005. That weight room benefi ts women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, cross country and women’s golf. Former Marshall strength and conditioning coach Mike Jenkins was hired in late June to assist Stark and oversee the Fieldhouse strength facility. The men’s basketball team utilizes a weight room that is located in its practice facility, the Larry O. Finch Center. Assistant Strength Coach Richard Hogans is charged with the workouts of Tiger basketball, as well as the men’s tennis and men’s golf teams. With three state-of-the-art facilities located around campus, the U of M Strength and Conditioning staff is well-equipped to handle the training needs of Tiger Athletes.

art diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in the care and prevention of injuries. Amos Mansfi eld is in his fourth year as head athletic trainer. Mansfi eld spent four years at South-ern Miss as an assistant trainer and was the primary trainer for men’s basketball, while also assisting with football. He has two full-time certifi ed athletic trainers, two graduate assistants and 18 student trainers. Chris Simmons is in his third year as the trainer for men’s basketball. He makes a return to the university where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Science in 2002. Simmons came to Memphis after working as the head trainer for the Arkansas Rim-Rockers of the NBDL. Natasha Platt is in her fi fth year as an assistant trainer for women’s athletics. Platt was a student trainer at Memphis from 1998-2000 and earned her degree from the university in 2000. The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualifi ed and generous team doctors who are available to the many student-athletes at the University of Memphis. Dr. Barney Freeman, Dr. Fred Azar and Dr. Barry Phillips of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger football team, while Dr. Thomas Meriwether and Dr. Arthur Franklin serve as the team physicians. Dr. Allen Sills serves as the team’s neurosurgeon. Tiger student-athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately-owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the fi nest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis student-athletes. The athletic training staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffi ng all practices and games as well as handling the day-to-day rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes. The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care for the injuries, but also to assist the student-athletes in preventing injuries from occurring.

The University of Memphis athletic training staff is second-to-none when it comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury, reha-

bilitation and preventative care. With the renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex training facility along with the Larry O. Finch Center training room, Memphis student-athletes can be assured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of the Park Avenue Campus in 2003. The new training facility, which more than doubles the size of the old training room, con-tains an in-ground aquatic rehabilitation pool, allowing trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/her own body weight. The training room also contains new doctor examination rooms, storage areas and the latest in rehabilitation equipment. The athletic training staff uses a compre-hensive approach to the injury care and well-ness of student-athletes by utilizing state-of-the-

The University of Mem-phis’ Center for Athlet-ic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated to the academic and

personal development of all Tiger student-athletes. Its mission is to provide support services to ensure that U of M student-athletes suc-ceed in the classroom and obtain undergraduate degrees. The services include orienta-tion programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising.

In March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the offi ce from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of fi ve, while also utilizing 20-30 tutors, two academic in-terns, graduate assis-tants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an offi ce as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance. The four academic counselors are assigned to specifi c sports working closely with those student-athletes and coaching staffs. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to col-laboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last six academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, fi nancial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh fl oors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 21 student computer stations, 17 offi ces and numerous study tables. Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of ACAD 1100, Introduction to the University, were offered to student-athletes only. The class was so well received that a third sec-tion was offered in 2003 so that all freshman student-athletes could be included in the course. Students who participated in the class earned an average of 15.2 credit hours and an av-erage GPA of 3.25. In its commitment to the overall develop-ment of the student-athlete, a fourth section will be instituted fall, 2008.

DIRECTOR

Four academic awards are spon-sored by the CAAS as a means of honor-ing the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned grade-point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next

best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The fi nal honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the student-athlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

W H Y T I G E R S ? When the University of Memphis fi rst fi elded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the fi nal game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fi ght like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. Under Coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal’s football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto – “Every Man a Tiger” – and went on to score 174 points while allowing its opponents just 29 points. In the late 1920s, student publications and down-town newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it fi nally adopted as the offi cial nickname for the University of Memphis.

A B E N G A L F O R A M A S C O T For over 35 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM III, the current Tiger mascot, attends all Tiger Football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year as a powerful and majestic symbol of Tigers Athletics. TOM III travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer, always with police escort. The fi rst Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred offi cially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti, including colorful monikers like Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny Shiloh, and even Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. As TOM grew older, the decision was made by the Highland Hundred to keep the Tiger Tradition alive by securing a new tiger to be raised as TOM II. In the fall of 1991, Highland Hundred President Ray Daniels and President-Elect Bobby Wharton received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II was diagnosed with cancer during an annual 2008 medical examination, and passed away on October 15 of that year at the age of 17. He outlived all four of his siblings by a number of years, a testa-ment to the level of care and love he received. He also far exceeded the life expectancy of a male tiger outside captivity. Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke a good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against the University of Central Florida.

S C H O O L C O L O R S The University of Memphis’ offi cial school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.

T H E L O G O The University of Memphis’ offi cial logo was re-designed by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an “M” with a leaping Tiger coming up over the center of the “M.”

W I T H I N 4 0 0 M I L E S O F M E M P H I SW I T H I N 4 0 0 M I L E S O F M E M P H I SConsidered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as

the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis is in the midst of a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which is transforming the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects has been the construc-tion of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to

band leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the fi rst blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor “Boss” Crump called “Boss Crump Blues” and later published as the “The Memphis Blues.” The sound soon caught on and blues bands fi lled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have per-formed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. From B.B. King’s to the Daisy Theatre, from Silky O’Sullivan’s to the Hard Rock Café, from Coyote Ugly to the Rum Boogie Café, Beale Street has something to offer for everyone. Where Beale Street meets the Mississip-pi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival

which also includes the World Champion-ship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located just off Beale Street is the Pea-body Place Retail and Entertainment Center which opened in 2002. The 300,000-square-foot retail complex offers visitors a one-stop-shop for fun and excitement with a unique mix of entertainment, dining and shopping options unlike anything else in the region. Also located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records

Beale Street - One of America’s most famous musical streets!
