Allgood-Bailey Stadium Fans attending Miner football games now have beautiful new surroundings to watch Miner football. After playing its home games only in the daylight since the start of the program, the Miners have played under the lights during each of the last three seasons at renovated Jackling Field at Allgood-Bailey Stadium. The facililty was renovated after the 2000 season, thanks to a gift from alumnus and former Miner player Keith Bailey and his wife, Pat. The couple’s $1.5 million donation led to the construction of lights, a new concession and restroom facility for the stadium, as well as an all-weather track for the university’s track and field program. During the groundbreaking ceremony in October 2000, UMR officials announced that the stadium complex would be named Allgood-Bailey Stadium in honor of retired UMR coach Dewey Allgood. Bailey, a 1964 graduate of UMR who served as chairman, president and chief executive officer of The Williams Companies Inc. in Tulsa, says Allgood was a major influence during Bailey’s years at UMR. Allgood spent 40 years as a coach at the university and was the Miners’ head football coach when the facility opened for play in 1967. The stadium complex, which was built as part of a package with the Gale Bullman Multi-Purpose Building (which stands east of the stadium), is in its 38th year as the home of the Miners. The stadium was opened in 1967 and retained the name of the old field which hosted Miner football from 1915 to 1966. It was named for Daniel Cowan Jackling, an alumnus who donated $5,000 to construct the original Jackling Field which stood just north of Bishop Street. The location is now the site of several campus buildings near the Curtis Laws Wilson Library. A plaque on campus between the Humanities/Social Science and Math/Computer Science buildings marks the spot where the original field was located. The facility seats 8,000 spectators, with a steel grandstand on the east side and another set of bleachers on the opposite side. A dressing room facility, which includes locker rooms, meeting and storage rooms, and offices, is located at the south end of the stadium. The 810-square foot stadium press box stands atop the west stands. The first game in the facility was played in 1967 before the stadium was completed. A total of 5,000 temporary bleachers used during the first year and the complex was completed by the start of the 1969 season.

The 73rd Missouri General Assembly provided $2 million for the construction project in 1965. Construction was performed by the Maggi Construction Company, Inc., of Rolla. In the summer of 1998, a new grass playing field was installed by Munie Outdoor Services of Caseyville, Ill., the same firm which installed the grass baseball field at St. Louis' Busch Stadium. Maggi Inc., and CSE Enterprises were the lead contractors during the 2001 stadium renovation.

This is UMR The University of Missouri-Rolla is in its 134th year as one of the nation’s premier universities for science and technology. But while UMR’s reputation has been for the quality of its engineering program, it is quickly becoming a well-rounded institution that now offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in 35 fields. UMR is located in a picturesque area of Missouri in the wooded hills of south central Missouri near the Ozarks. The 284-acre campus is located nearly halfway between St. Louis and Springfield, Mo., but within a reasonable drive of a number of state parks, lakes and several of Missouri’s well-known vineyards, not to mention being a short walk away from the downtown area of a town ranked as one of the best 100 small towns in the United States in Norm Crampton’s The 100 Best Small Towns in America. The campus itself has an enrollment of over 5,500 students, with a student-faculty ratio of 14 to 1. UMR is one of four campuses that comprise the University of Missouri system. The university, founded as the Missouri School of Mines in 1870 as the first engineering school west of the Mississippi River, has written the book on education in science and engineering and is broadening its scope in the 21st century. While the university began as a mining school, the university has also prepared its students for leadership roles in engineering, science and liberal arts. UMR can boast of over 1,000 entrepreneurs among its graduates and hundreds of others in corporate leadership positions. In addition, the university has broadened its academic scope beyond engineering as it now has programs for its students in business, education (preelementary and secondary), English, history and various other pre-professional fields such as pre-law, pre-medicine and pre-nursing as well as speech and media studies. But as far as the engineering fields go, UMR offers a wide range of options for students to go into. The university offers more than a dozen different engineering programs for its students to study. A number of UMR graduates have gone on to have great success. Included among the alumni are Mervin Kelly (1914), whose work on amplifying tubes led to improved longdistance communication; George Mueller (1936), who is credited with being the driving force behind the first lunar landing in 1969; Ted Weise (1967), who formerly served as the president of FedEx; and Gary Forsee (1972), the chief executive officer of Sprint. In addition, three UMR graduates have been part of NASA’s space shuttle program: Tom Akers (1973), who was part of the space shuttle team that retrieved a satellite in space in 1992 and is now a member of the faculty at UMR; Janet Kavandi (1982) and Sandra Hall Magnus (1986).

Athletics at UMR The University of Missouri-Rolla is a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association and NCAA Division II; it will change conference affiliations in the fall of 2005 as it will be joining the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The overall athletics program consists of eight men's and six women's sports. The university has shown its success at the national level both on the field and in the classroom. UMR has had teams finish among the top 10 at the national level in seven of the last eight seasons and the school has won three NCAA national championships on an individual basis in swimming over the past four years. UMR’s 200-freestyle relay team won back-to-back titles at the NCAA Division II Swimming and Diving Championships in 2001 and 2002, while the 400-yard freestyle relay team also won a national title in 2002. In the classroom, UMR student-athletes have won 37 Academic All-America awards as awarded by CoSIDA and its program sponsors and 103 academic alldistrict awards over the past 13 years. In addition, numerous teams and individuals have been honored for their success as student-athletes by their various national organizations. A member of the MIAA since 1935, UMR athletic teams have won or shared 35 league championships. The university also honors its top student-athletes and teams over the years in its Athletic Hall of Fame; 110 members and seven teams have been inducted.

UMR Coaching Staff KIRBY CANNON -- HEAD COACH Kirby Cannon will begin his sixth season as the head football coach at UMR in 2004. Cannon came to UMR with the task of rebuilding a Miner program that went through a difficult stretch during the 1990s. The Miners went 2-9 in 2000 and 2001 before struggling over the past two seasons. The Miners have been showing improvement during Cannon’s tenure while playing in the powerful Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. Cannon, who had been an assistant coach at Western Illinois University prior to his selection as the Miners' head coach in December 1998, played against the Miners while at Southwest Missouri State University and coached against UMR as an assistant at Truman State University. A native of Alexandria, Mo., Cannon faced the Miners as a quarterback at SMSU, where he received his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1981. He began his coaching career that year as well as the defensive coordinator at Ozark High School in southwest Missouri and helped lead that team to its first playoff appearance in school history. After that two-year stint, Cannon went into the collegiate ranks as a graduate assistant coach at Iowa State University with his primary duties being his work with the tight ends and special teams. Cannon, who also completed work on his master's degree at ISU in 1985, spent one of those two years as the head coach of the junior varsity program and one year as acting recruiting coordinator. His next position was as the defensive coordinator at North Central College in Naperville, Ill., where he helped a struggling program improve to a 19-18-1 mark over the next four years -- the school's best four-year record in 30 seasons. That helped him get the position of defensive backs coach at Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State) in 1989. He was elevated in 1993 to defensive coordinator. While at Truman, Cannon also served as recruiting coordinator and helped bring in players that led the Bulldogs to a record of 42-22 over a six-year span and to three appearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Truman State finished second to Division II power Pittsburg State in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association in each of the playoff years. When Bulldog head coach Eric Holm left Truman State after the 1994 season, Cannon followed him to Northern Michigan University to serve in the same roles for the next two years. Northern Michigan had winning seasons during both of those years and had a two-year record of 14-6. Prior to his arrival at UMR, Cannon was an assistant coach at Western Illinois University, primarily coaching the defensive backs. Over that span, WIU was ranked second in NCAA Division I-AA in 1997 and reached the national semifinals in 1998, falling in that round to eventual runner-up Georgia Southern.

While at SMSU, Cannon played quarterback for the Bears’ football team and pitched for the baseball team. He held the SMSU school record for career pitching wins (25) until it was broken in 2003 by Philadelphia Phillies draft choice Brad Ziegler. He received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from the university in 1981. At UMR, Cannon will work on the defensive side of the ball for the third straight season after working with the offensive backs during his first three seasons at the helm of the Miner program.

UMR Coaching Staff SHAWN CORBETT -- ASSISTANT HEAD COACH/OFFENSIVE LINE Shawn Corbett, who has worked with Kirby Cannon at two of his previous stops, is in his sixth year as the Miners' offensive line and strength coach. He is also the Miners' assistant head coach. Corbett, who is originally from Kirksville, Mo., spent the 1998 season at Hannibal High School, but prior to that worked with Cannon at Truman State University and Northern Michigan University as well as a year at his alma mater, Southeast Missouri State University. At Truman, Corbett was the assistant offensive line coach and tight ends coach, and also served as defensive scout team coordinator and assistant strength coach in the 1993 season. In 1994, Corbett went to Southeast to serve as the coach of the tight ends, as well as assistant offensive line coach and defensive scout team coordinator. After that season, he moved on to Northern Michigan -- the same year that Cannon joined Eric Holm's staff at NMU after they left Truman -- and served as the team's offensive line and strength coach. Corbett attended Southeast Missouri State, where he played on the offensive line and served as a co-captain of the team. He received his degree in 1994 from Southeast in secondary education and then signed a free agent contract with the National Football League's San Diego Chargers that spring. Corbett and his wife, Janie, have a daughter, (Devan), who was born in January 2003.

TRAVIS BOULWARE -- ASSISTANT COACH/DEFENSIVE BACKS Travis Boulware is beginning his 18th season on the Miner staff, coaching the defensive backs. He came to UMR in 1987 from Washburn University, where he served as the defensive backs coach. In 1986, Washburn's defense ranked first against the pass in the Central States Intercollegiate Conference. While coaching the defensive backs for a majority of his tenure at UMR, Boulware coached the running backs during the 1997 and 1998 seasons. He returned to the secondary in 1999. Boulware, a 1982 graduate of Tennessee Technological University, played defensive back for the school’s football team for two seasons. Prior to that, he spent two years at Chowan Junior College in North Carolina. Boulware also got his master’s degree from Tennessee Tech. A native of High Point, N.C., Boulware also served as UMR's baseball coach for 13 seasons from 1991-2003. The Miners were 20-19 in the 2003 season, their second winning season in his final three years as head coach. UMR also finished as runners-up in the MIAA Tournament to NCAA Division II World Series participant Central Missouri State in 1997.

MARC KOLB -- ASSISTANT COACH/OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR Marc Kolb enters his third year as the Miners’ offensive coordinator after a highly successful three-year stint as offensive coordinator at Fairfield University. Last season, the Miners had the top-ranked passing offense in the MIAA as it racked up 246.3 yards per game through the air; they were ranked 31st in NCAA Division II in passing and set numerous school records during the 2003 season. Kolb came to UMR from Fairfield, where he spent four seasons. He started as the defensive line coach in 1998, then switched to the offensive side a year later as he became the offensive coordinator. He served as the team's assistant head coach in the 2001 season. In the three seasons Kolb served as offensive coordinator, the Stags averaged 34.5 points per game. Fairfield scored 37.1 points a game in 1999, which ranked 12th in NCAA Division I-AA, then moved to fifth the next year when it scored 38.7 points a contest. In his third year as offensive coordinator, Fairfield averaged 27.3 points a game under a new head coach. In that span, Fairfield set or tied 78 school records. He has coached offensive units that have finished among the top teams in Division I-AA in several offensive categories, including rushing, passing and total offense. The Stags averaged 406.7 yards of total offense in that span. A native of Seminole, Fla., Kolb earned his bachelor's degree at Brown University in 1994 and entered the coaching ranks in 1995 at Curry College in Massachusetts. In 1997, Kolb moved on to Framingham State to serve as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for one season before joining the Fairfield staff. Kolb and his wife, Lisa, have a son (Matthew) and daughter (Hannah).

ERIK KRUPPE -- ASSISTANT COACH/LINEBACKERS Erik Kruppe joins the Miner coaching staff this season after spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Truman State University. Kruppe will coach the linebackers during the 2003 season after coaching that position at Truman for the past two years. Kruppe is a 1999 graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University, where he played linebacker for four seasons. He earned his master’s degree from Northeastern Illinois University two years later while coaching at North Park University in Chicago during the 1999 and 2000 seasons. He also helped coach at Maine East High School in the Chicago suburbs during the summer in 1999. A native of Niles, Ill., Kruppe was a volunteer assistant coach at Truman in 2001 while teaching special education at Kirksville High School. He joined the Bulldogs’ staff as a full-time assistant the following season.

2004 Season Outlook first team. “I feel that we have the best tight end in Division II in Cole,” Cannon said. “He made tremendous progress last season and is a key element in what we’re trying to get done offensively.” UMR had four receivers who caught at least 47 passes apiece last year, the three aforementioned individuals and Brett Fischer, a senior who caught 47 balls for 477 yards and two scores. He will be joined on the flanks by returning lettermen Antwan Smith Cole Drussa caught 55 passes in the 2003 season, the most by any tight end in the MIAA and earned secondand Lagarius Criss as team All-America honors in the process. well as by a pair of newcomers from the junior college ranks in Tyrus Owens and Phil Shin, both of which earned all-league honors at their respective schools last fall. While the Miners gained roughly 75 percent of their yards through the air, the running game gained a boost late in the season with the emergence of Keenan Miller, a junior who had a pair of 100-yard games in November. Miller, an honorable mention All-MIAA back, ran for a teamhigh 528 yards and figures to be part of a tag-team combination at that postion with returner Dan Lester and newcomer Delane Ingram, who ran for over 1,100 yards at Solano Community College in 2003. Another aspect that will help the Miner offensive attack is that all five members of the starting offensive line are back. Eric Webster had a solid junior season at center, while guard Joe Tomasek was an honorable mention all-conference choice. Fellow guard Colin McFarland is a threeyear starter at his position, while the tackle spots will be occupied by a trio of junior competing for those roles, Kyle Marshall, Lou Kuelker and Jordan Preston. A number of talented redshirt freshmen – including Peter Bazin and Adam Keithley – along with junior college transfer Ken Pearce figure to challenge the incumbents for those starting roles. “Our offensive line is intact and I’m also excited about our prospects at the running back position,” Cannon said. “Even with the losses that we did have, there’s a chance that we can be even more productive on offense.”

Even though the Miners will have to replace some of their key components on the offensive side of the ball for the upcoming year, the 2003 season gave hope that UMR may be ready to make a move to put some of its recent struggles behind it. “The way we played over the last four games of last season – where were competitive in all of them – gives us a lot of optimism coming into this year,” Cannon said. “We feel this is a season in which we have a chance to make a great improvement in the win column as we have 15 starters back in the mix.” The Miners had the most proficient passing offense in the MidAmerica Intercollegiate Athletics Association last season, averaging 246.3 yards per game through the air. The 224 points scored by the Miners were the most the team had scored in a decade, which was also the length of time since a UMR team had averaged at least 300 offensive yards per game before it posted over 330 a game a year ago. But even with all the improved production on offense, the struggles on defense prevented the Miners from breaking into the win column. That area is one that head coach Kirby Cannon believes will improve this fall due to the athleticism and experience the unit gained last season. Offense: Three of the ringleaders in the Miners’ offensive show last season – Evan Gray, Clint Moss and Uros Stosic – won’t be on the field with the team this fall, but it is a unit that will not lack experience. Gray will be redshirted in the 2004 season after throwing for a school record 2,104 yards and 20 touchdowns a year ago. But while he was waiting to be cleared to play early in the season, Mark Becker made two starts and performed well in that time, completing 48 percent of his passes for 592 yards and six touchdowns. Becker, who enters the fall as the projected starter at quarterback, threw for more than 200 yards in one of his starts and also did so in one half of an appearance in relief. And even with two of the Miners’ top receivers from last season, Moss and Stosic, graduating from the program, Becker will still have a solid group of receivers to throw to. At the top of that list is tight end Cole Drussa, a secondteam All-America performer who caught 55 passes for 601 Mark Becker, who is the projected starter at quarterback for yards during his junior UMR this fall, threw for nearly 600 yards in a reserve role year in which he was last season with six touchdown passes. named to the All-MIAA

Defense: The Miner defensive struggles in 2003 were well documented, as a young group gave up more points (500) than any UMR team in history. But due to the experience those players gained a year ago, plus the influx of some redshirt freshman and transfers, UMR figures to have an improved unit in the upcoming year.

2004 Season Outlook a year ago. However, transfer Trey Lunsford, a first-team all-region punter at Pearl River Community College in Mississippi last season, figures to be a top contender for that job. Lunsford averaged more than 40 yards per punt last season. UMR does return its placekicker in Marc Armbruster, who was 25of-27 a year ago on extra points. He will look to improve in the field goal department where he connected on just three of nine last Marc Armbruster connected on 25 of his 27 extra point season. Waiting in the as the Miner placekicker in wings is freshman Teddy attempts in his first season 2003. Karcasinas, a strong kicker at the high school level in Texas who will compete for the placekicking role. Nick Cowell, the Miners’ long snapper who also plays on the offensive line, returns to that role as does Becker as the holder. Meanwhile, the Miners will need to replace Moss in the return roles he filled; he was the team’s top punt returner last season and averaged nearly 18 yards per kickoff return. Lester and Brett Fischer figure to handle a majority of the kickoff return duties, but according to Cannon, the punt return job will be determined during the pre-season with a number of candidates being possibilities.

“We have a number of outstanding athletes on the defensive side of the ball,” Cannon said. “There are several in particular at linebacker and in the secondary and I fully expect those groups to take a significant step forward this season.” Cannon feels that the defensive line has the potential to be the best one the Miners have had since he took over as head coach in 1999. Not only does it have three returning starters back in end Aaron Gage and tackles Rob Rutherford and Derek Drussa, but several reserves in those spots gained valuable playing experience. Jordan Tucker and Kyran Weaver, a pair of juniors, figure to compete for the vacant starting role at defensive end, while Justin Ayers, Clarence Chaney and redshirt freshman Dallas Massie are expected to make a push for spots at tackle. At linebacker, the Miners have three returners that have been starters during their careers at UMR. Avian Jordan, a sophomore who earned honorable mention All-MIAA honors a year ago, returns to the strongside linebacker position where he led UMR with 99 tackles a year ago. Andrew Cleveland played well as he earned more playing time down the stretch and figures to contend for a starting role along with Josh Robinson, who missed a majority of last season with an injury. Those players figure to be pushed by returner Brad Brueckner – who has been a starter in the past as well – and redshirts Oliver Carter and Sam Williams for those starting spots. UMR also has an experienced group in the secondary heading into the fall. Nathan Williams, who Avian Jordan led the Miners in tackles with 99 during his shared the team lead in freshman year, earning honorable mention All-MIAA honors interceptions last season at linebacker in the process. with three, returns to one of the cornerback spots opposite Corey Gamble, another returning letterman. Jamel Sims, who earned a good deal of playing time at the corner last season, and transfer Daudi White to also see plenty of playing time. White posted solid numbers last season while playing at the junior college level in California. Aaron Clarke, who has been a starter in the secondary since his freshman year, returns as the starter at free safety. Clarke was tied with Williams for the interception lead last season. Rodrick McDonald, a twoyear starter at strong safety, will return to that spot along with Jeremy Dotson, who also saw significant playing time during the 2003 campaign.

Some things to watch for in 2004... Brett Fischer needs four catches to move among the top 10 for career receptions at UMR...he needs 17 to join seven others with 100 career catches...he needs 64 yards to reach 1,000 for his career, 289 to reach tenth place. Cole Drussa needs 22 catches to reach the top 10 for receptions (23 if Brett Fischer reaches the mark first) and 35 to get to 100 for his career...he needs 243 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark in receptions...a 50-catch season will make him the second player in school history with back-to-back seasons with at least 50 receptions (Chris Alverson is the other). Keenan Miller needs 219 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark for his career; he currently stands 775 yards away from tenth place on UMR’s all-time list. A Miner quarterback has thrown a touchdown pass in a school record 12 consecutive games heading into the 2004 season. Last season was the first in which UMR scored a touchdown through the air in every game. Four quarterbacks – including Mark Becker, the projected starter this fall – have had a hand in establishing that record.

Special Teams: The Miners need to make a couple of significant replacements in the special teams, namely at punter and in the kick return game. Chris Harvey completed his eligibility last season by averaging better than 36 yards a punt, leaving sophomore Ryan Griffin as the only punter on the roster from

The MIAA The MIAA celebrates its 92nd season this year and 12th under the current title. Known as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association for its first 79 years, the league changed its name to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association on July 1, 1992.

The MIAA expanded to 12 schools in 1989 with the addition of Missouri Southern, Missouri Western State College, and the league's first two schools from the state of Kansas, Pittsburg State and Washburn University. Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA for Division I after the 1990-91 season and was replaced by Emporia State University. Missouri-St. Louis left the league following the 1995-96 athletic season to join the Great Lakes Valley Conference and Lincoln left the MIAA following the 1998-99 academic year. The 2004-05 season will be UMR’s last in the conference as it will join the GLVC in 2005.

The MIAA has the reputation of being one of the strongest athletic conferences at the NCAA Division II level. During this decade alone, four institutions have won national championships -- Pittsburg State University (1991) and Northwest Missouri State University (1998 and 1999) in football, Missouri Southern State College in softball (1992) and Central Missouri State University in baseball (1994 and 2003). Many NCAA championship events during the 1990s had at least one MIAA representative.

Not only is the MIAA celebrating its 92nd anniversary this year, it is also in its 21st year of sponsoring championships in women's athletics.

In the long history of the league, the MIAA has captured 12 team titles and since 1964 over 100 individual championships on the national level.

Ralph McFillen, who previously served as the commissioner of the Gulf South and Metro Conferences, is in his sixth year as the commissioner of the MIAA. Matt Newbery is in his ninth year as the league's director of sports information. The MIAA offices are located in Overland Park, Kan.

The conference was formed in 1912 with 14 members. It was reorganized in 1924 to include only the five regional state colleges: Central Missouri State, Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State University), Northwest Missouri State, Southeast Missouri State University and Southwest Missouri State University. The Missouri School of Mines -- later renamed the University of Missouri-Rolla -- was added in 1935 to increase the membership to six.

NCAA Division II Championships won by MIAA Members: Central Missouri State University Men's basketball, 1984 Women's basketball, 1984 Baseball, 1994 and 2003 Missouri Southern State College Softball, 1992 Northwest Missouri State University Football, 1998 and 1999 Pittsburg State University Football, 1991 Southeast Missouri State University Men's cross country, 1984 Men's indoor track, 1985 Southwest Missouri State University Men's golf, 1963 Men's cross country, 1974

Thirty-five years passed before any changes were made in the league's organization, when Lincoln University was added in 1970. The University of Missouri-St. Louis was added in 1980 and Southwest Missouri State withdrew from the MIAA a year later to change its affiliation to NCAA Division I. The addition of Southwest Baptist University in 1986 restored the MIAA as an eight-team conference.

UMR to leave MIAA after 2004-05 season The upcoming 2004 football season will be the final one for UMR as a member of the MIAA, as the university is withdrawing from the conference to join the Great Lakes Valley Conference. As the GLVC does not sponsor football as a conference sport, UMR will compete as an NCAA Division II independent starting with the 2005 season. In its time as a member of the MIAA, UMR has won eight conference championships, including four outright titles (1947, 1949, 1950 and 1980) and four shared titles. The Miners’ 1980 team, which finished with a 10-0 record, was one of only two MIAA teams in the last 40 seasons to finish the year without a loss or a tie.
