Rex Mirich - College Football Hall of Fame

Former Lumberjack Rex Mirich was enshrined into the College Football Hall of Fame, becoming the firstplayer from Northern Arizona to earn the rare distinction in 2012.

Mirich played for Northern Arizona when the school was known as Arizona State College at Flagstaff. Inthe one-platoon era he played on both offense and defense earning NAIA All-America honors at two differentpositions in 1962 and 1963.

He was a four-year letterman for the Lumberjacks. "I was totally surprised," said Mirich when first noti-fied of the distinction. "It is quite an honor. I was never expecting it. I am proud to represent [Northern Arizona]."

Mirich was voted a team captain by his teammates for his senior season. He aided the squad to a 20-15-4 overall mark, and was a key cog in a defense that limited opponents to 109.1 yards per game over a six-game span.

Mirich was chosen by the Minnesota Vikings in the 16th round of the 1963 NFL Draft and the OaklandRaiders in the 20th round of the 1963 AFL Draft. He played on the defensive line for the Raiders, the DenverBroncos and the Boston Patriots for a total of seven seasons. Mirich earned a bachelor's degree from NorthernArizona in 1966. He was inducted into the NAU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006.

Including the 2012 FBS Enshrinement class, only 904 players and 197 coaches have been inducted intothe College Football Hall of Fame from the nearly five million who have played or coached the game over thepast 142 years. In other words, less than one percent (.0002) have been deemed worthy of this distinction.

Founded in 1947, The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame inducted its first class ofinductees in 1951. The first class included 32 players and 19 coaches, including Illinois' Red Grange, NotreDame's Knute Rockne, Amos Alonzo Stagg and Carlisle's Jim Thorpe.

293 schools are represented with at least one College Football Hall of Famer.

Coming off a season that fea-

tured five losses by a combined 20

points, the Northern Arizona foot-

ball team will look to turn around it’s

fortunes this season and make a

bid for the Football Championship

Subdivision playoffs for the first

time since 2003.

The Lumberjacks feature

Walter Payton Award candidate

running back Zach Bauman as the

leader of an offensive unit bolstered

by the experience of a senior quar-

terback in Cary Grossart. They will

play behind a promising offensive

line with all-conference experience

and a skill group at receiver

that earned valuable experi-

ence a year ago. The ability

to turn the scoreboard in

their favor will hinge on a

revamped defense that

includes returning experi-

ence at each position that

will be supported by a talent-

ed influx of recruits since the

last snap in 2012.

“Last year was a really

difficult year to assess,” said

Head Coach Jerome

Souers, who enters his 15th

season at the helm of the

Lumberjack program. “Our

win-loss record was

nowhere near where we felt

it could or should have been.

We worked very hard to

identify the deficiencies in

our performance last year to

improve our outlook for the

coming year.”

The Lumberjacks return

15 starters and 39 letter win-

ners overall, as well as 26

players who have been on

the team or are coming off a red-

shirt season.

“We have a lot of returnees with

a lot of experience; Not just starters

but guys who were in the rotation of

reps who should help our experi-

ence,” said Souers. “We are going

to rely on the lessons we learned

last year to apply to this season’s

schedule that I believe will give us a

stronger performance.”

THE OFFENSE

NAU ranked 14th in the

Football Championship Subdivision

(FCS) in 2011 in total offense, pro-

ducing the Big Sky’s top rusher and

pass efficiency leader. Bauman

ranked fourth in the country in rush-

ing with over 1,400 yards with

seven games over 100 yards on

the season, while the Lumberjacks

posted the top passing efficiency

mark in the Big Sky and ranked

sixth in the nation in 2011 behind

the play of Grossart.

The major offensive pieces are

in place with Bauman and Grossart

returning.

Bauman is the face of the pro-

gram after producing over 2,400

yards in his first two seasons

and a combined 30 touch-

downs. He enters his junior

season among the returning

rushing leaders in the FCS

and the school record book.

“He has been nothing short

of amazing in his first two

years,” said Souers. “For him

to come in as a true freshman

and play the way that he did

and come back with a sopho-

more year and be that much

more effective shows what

his talent level is. He is 15-20

pounds heavier without any

loss of mobility or speed or

change of direction. He has

positioned himself to have

another great year.”

The Lumberjacks added

California transfer Covaughn

Deboskie in the offseason to

provide depth and experience

behind Bauman. Austin

Shanks, who returned to the

backfield in spring practice,

gives NAU options and addi-

tional speed.

All-Big Sky second team full-

back Jake Hess returns for his sec-

ond season after joining the pro-

gram from Boise State last fall. He

proved the fullback could be a valu-

able wrinkle to the offense and

looks to make a bigger impact in

2012.

Grossart returns for his senior

season after a solid initial season

as a starter behind center. He was

an All-America Third Team selection

by Beyond Sports College Network

and garnered All-Big Sky Honorable

Mention honors after ranking third in

the Big Sky in passing yards per

game at 249.5. He completed 197-

for-299 with 16 touchdowns on the

season and just seven interceptions

and had at least one touchdown

pass in 10 of 11 games, including

five games with two or more.

“There is no substitute for expe-

rience at the quarterback position

and having a rallying point for the

offense always centers around the

quarterback,” said Souers. “Cary’s

experience gives us a lot more con-

tinuity and confidence that we

lacked before.”

Grossart will be backed up by

redshirt sophomore Chase

Cartwright with redshirt freshmen

Kyren Poe and Jordan Perry wait-

ing for an opportunity to contribute.

“We have a unique position in that

we have four quarterbacks capable

of running our offense and are

ready to go,” said Souers. “We have

more depth at that position than any

time I can remember.”

The Lumberjacks’ offensive suc-

cess again will depend on the

development of the line. A season

ago, NAU started the same five lay-

ers in every game and the results

spoke for themselves. Senior Trey

Gilleo, who started at left tackle and

earned All-Big Sky honors last sea-

son, will move to the right side in

2012. Junior Kyle Walker returns

as well after earning All-Big Sky

honorable mention honors at left

guard, while senior Matt Wilson is

also back to compete at right guard

after starting last season. Line

coach Eric Reid will replace gradu-

ated seniors Alex Mott (center) and

Dwight Boyd with redshirt sopho-

mores Joe Gurski and Shane

Moniz.

“Trey and Kyle have been sta-

ples of our offensive line for the last

couple years,” said Souers. “We

expect that position to be very profi-

cient not only in running the football

but protecting the quarterback. The

key to any offense is being able to

run the football and protect the

quarterback at the line of scrim-

mage. If you are able to do that con-

sistently it bodes well for your skill

position players.”

The further development of the

passing game, especially the deep

threat, will depend on the further

development of the receivers.

Under the direction of NAU Hall of

Famer and former NFL quarterback

Jeff Lewis, Souers is confident the

position took strides in the spring.

Khalil Paden graduated after

leading the team in every statistical

category last season. But junior Ify

Umodu, who had 50 catches for

667 yards, and breakout freshman

Dejzon Walker both return. Walker

was named the Offensive

Newcomer of the Year of the pro-

gram and was tabbed the College

Sports Madness Big Sky Freshman

of the Year after recording 22 catch-

es for 328 yards with three touch-

downs.

“We had to go through a lot of

baptism under fire,” said Souers.

“We had a lot of guys that had not

played here before and were in a

position to contribute. At times, we

looked very good and at times we

were inconsistent.”

Junior Jeremy Dang and

Oregon transfer Nick Cole, who

was sidelined with an injury after

four games last season, are both

poised for impact seasons after

seeing action last season. Junior

college transfer Jesse Brantley

will also have an impact on the two-

deep after transferring from

Scottsdale CC after 44 catches for

740 yards and seven touchdowns

in 2011.

“It has the talent,” said Souers

of the receiver position. “We have

to be consistent not just with our

ability to run routes, but blocking

down field. Coach Lewis has done

a great job in the spring of raising

bar of the expectations of our

receiver position.”

THE DEFENSE

NAU ranked fifth in the confer-

ence in total defense and third

overall in points allowed. Defensive

Coordinator Andy Thompson had

one of the top units against the run

(third overall) but listed seventh in

the conference after allowing more

than 250 passing yards per game.

While the defense returns

seven starters, the unit needed

specific help on the defensive line

to fill the void left by the graduation

of four experienced players, includ-

ing three starters in Isaac Bond,

Dan Pela and Blayne Anderson.

A two-time All-Big Sky selec-

tion, Bond was the leader based on

e x p e r i e n c e

and perform-

ance and

r e t u r n i n g

starter Jarret

Bilbrey hopes

to take over his

role on the

team. He was

named the Defensive Outstanding

Junior of the Year after seeing

action in all 11 games with seven

starts and recording 27 tackles with

five sacks last season. He is joined

by junior Tim Wilkinson, an All-Big

Sky Honorable Mention and the

program’s Outstanding Sophomore

of the Year. He recorded 30 tackles

with a team-best 6.0 tackles for loss

last season.

“Tim Wilkinson and Jarret

Bilbrey bring a lot of experience

and return with a strong under-

standing of what is required of our

defensive line,” said Souers.

Souers addressed the need for

impact and depth at the position,

recruiting two mid-year transfers in

Chima Ike and Steven Garcia and

four additional junior college trans-

fers that come to Flagstaff this fall.

Justin Jungblut, a transfer from

Boise State, will also be in the mix.

“Our coaching staff did a great

job repopulating the number of

guys that we lost due to gradua-

tion,” said Souers. “Our defensive

line has a chance to be a very

strong position for us.”

The Lumberjacks took some

licks in the secondary in 2011 but

hope to benefit from the experience

gained by playing a group that

returns nine of the 10 players on

the two deep at the cornerback and

safety positions.

“With the secondary position

the only way you are going to get

better is to play,” said Souers. “This

particular group continues to grow

up and improve and will only get

better with each game. We return a

lot of guys with experience. Our

secondary has a good chance to be

much better.”

The starters at cornerback,

Randy Hale. Jr and Anders

Battle, return along with backups

Devin Willis, Blake Bailey and

Mana Purdy.

Seniors Taylor Malenfant and

junior Mike Dosen, a transfer from

Oregon prior to last season, expect

to challenge for the starting role at

strong safety. Junior college trans-

fer Lucky Dozier is also expected

to see action. Senior Taylor Patton

and Taylor Julio will play free safe-

ty with sophomore Robert Watson,

who saw action in 10 games last

season.

Of all the positions on the field,

the Lumberjacks were the youngest

at linebacker in 2011. Senior Scott

McKeever tied for the team lead in

tackles with redshirt freshman

Craig Frum. True freshman Austin

Hasquet and Tevin Ray both

played significant snaps and

gained valuable experience.

“We played a lot of freshman

last season,” said Souers. “We

expect improvement for several

reasons. They are all stronger

physically and had great offsea-

sons, as well as understanding the

schemes and having the ability to

THE SPECIALISTS

Junior Andy Wilder has big

shoes to fill with the graduation of

kicker Matt Myers and punter

Drew Zamora last season, filling

the kicker roles for the

Lumberjacks. After waiting on the

sideline for the last three seasons,

he is ready to take the field.

Myers took every field goal

attempt over the last three sea-

sons, while Zamora handled all but

four punts and seven kickoffs (all by

Wilder). But Head Coach Jerome

Souers says Wilder is ready for the

opportunity after serving as a back-

up the last two seasons and a red-

shirt campaign.

“Andy Wilder is a very talented

young man and he has been wait-

ing his turn,” said Souers. “He has

had some old guys that have men-

tored him the last couple years. I

think he is ready for his time. He will

pick up where those guys left off

and set a new benchmark for the

kicking game. He is a very talented

specialist with a very strong leg. We

are excited about Andy.”

True freshman Ryan Hawkins

will serve as Wilder’s backup.

THE SCHEDULE

The additions to the Big Sky

bring the conference to 11 full

members and 13 football-playing

schools. Four of the original six

charter members of the league –

Idaho State University, The

University of Montana, Montana

State University and Weber State

University - still call the Big Sky

Conference home. Northern

Arizona, which joined the league in

1970, gives the Big Sky five mem-

bers with at least 40 years of con-

tinuous membership.

The expansion means plenty of

changes for the upcoming intercol-

legiate athletic season. In football,

teams will continue to play an eight-

game conference schedule. Each

team will play two “rivals” each sea-

son and rotate through the remain-

ing teams. A tiebreaker format has

been formulated to determine who

will earn the league’s automatic bid

to the Division I Football

Championship should a tie atop the

standings occur.

“The schedule is unique in a lot

of different ways,” said Souers.

“Having all the new teams on our

schedule will give us the opportuni-

ty to see all the new faces. It will

create some challenges in prepara-

tion, the new teams will have new

schemes and thinking. It will be fun

for our fans to see some different

teams and because they are more

regional, it will be fun that way as

well.”

The Lumberjacks will host Fort

Lewis in the home opener on Sept.

15 after playing two road games to

open the season at Arizona State

(Aug. 30) and UNLV (Sept. 8).

“The non-conference schedule

is challenging and exciting,” said

Souers. “Overall, the 2012 sched-

ule is an opportunity to accomplish

some great goals. For a team that

was so close last year and ready to

emerge, I think it is a great sched-

ule.”

NAU opens Big Sky

Conference play at Montana on

Sept. 22 before returning for the

Family Weekend contest against

Portland State on Sept. 29.

“We are hoping that the tough-

ness of the early non-conference

schedule with strengthen our team

and give us the skills to play in

adverse environment and better

prepare us to play a tough, early

road schedule,” said Souers.

After a bye week on Oct. 6,

NAU will travel to North Dakota in

Grand Forks, N.D., on Oct. 13 for

the first time. The Lumberjacks fin-

ish the regular season by hosting

three of their final five games at

home. NAU hosts new Big Sky affil-

iate member UC Davis on Oct. 20

for Homecoming before back-to-

back road games at Northern

Colorado (Oct. 27) and at Idaho

State (Nov. 3).

The Lumberjacks will then host

new full Big Sky member Southern

Utah on Nov. 10 and football affili-

ate member Cal Poly on Nov. 17.

“Our schedule is going to chal-

lenge our team but I think they have

the mental toughness to endure the

adversity that is going to come at

us early,” concluded Souers. “They

have the mentality to learn and get

better each week. If we do it right,

we will position ourselves for the

playoffs and that is something our

program has not enjoyed in some

time. We are looking forward to a

team that is capable of challenging

the conference at that level and a

staff that is preparing play beyond

the Cal Poly game at the end of the

year and into the postseason.”

Entering his 15th year as headcoach of the Northern Arizona foot-ball program, Jerome Souers, thedean of the Big Sky Conferencecoaches, has taken the Lumberjackprogram to new milestones.

Under Souers, NAU made arecord-breaking NCAA I-AAQuarterfinal appearance in 2003,won the first Big Sky Conference titlesince 1978, recorded two playoffberths and posted eight winning sea-sons. During his 14-year tenure,Souers has coached 119 student-

athletes to all-conference honors a combined 196 times with44 first-team selections and 42 All-Americans accolades.

Souers, who was named the 1999 Big SkyConference Coach of the Year, also has the Lumberjacksposting impressive results in the classroom. The footballprogram has produced the Golden Eagle Scholar Athlete ofthe Year six times (Blair Boynton, Eric Damko, SteveGomez, Mark Gould, Paul Ernster and Jeff Wheeler) andhad a program-best 14 student-athletes named to the 2011Big Sky Fall All-Academic team. Overall, 69 student-athleteshave earned 122 Big Sky academic honors over the last 14seasons. There have also been six Academic All-Americans, as well.

Souers increased the program’s Academic ProgressRate, a real-time measure of eligibility, retention and gradu-ation of student-athletes, five straight academic years (872to 953) and had the highest multi-year rate in the Big SkyConference in 2011, earning the Football ChampionshipSubdivision (FCS) Athletics Directors Association APRAward. The award is given to the highest APR score in eachof the 14 FCS conferences.

But there is still work ahead. Souers, who hascoached a national champion,strives everyday to get hisLumberjack program in position toplay for the title not just a playoffappearance or high ranking. And the2003 season was his best effort todate, earning him finalist honors forthe 2003 Eddie Robinson Award, anaward presented by The SportsNetwork to the top head coach in I-AA football.

Behind the play of true fresh-man Big Sky Offensive Player of theYear Jason Murrietta, theLumberjacks upset top-seededMcNeese State on the road andplayed host to the first home playoffgame since 1996 with a quarterfinalappearance against Florida Atlantic.NAU finished ranked 10th in thenational polls as Souers’ playerswere honored on and off the field fortheir performances. Eighteen playerswere recognized with All-Big Skyhonors highlighted by first-team All-America accolades for punter MarkGould, who was recognized by fivedifferent organizations. Gould led theaccolades off the field, too. He was a

CoSIDA Academic All-America selection for the second con-secutive season as NAU led the nation with five CoSIDAacademic all-district selections.

In 2006, Murrietta led a reemergence that producedsignificant improvements in the offensive production, result-ing in a winning season with six wins and ranking among thetop turnarounds in the country. Murrietta had a stellar seniorseason highlighted by a runner-up finish for the WalterPayton Award, All-America honors and his second Big SkyConference Offensive Player of the Year award. He threwfor 2,827 yards with a 65.0 completion percentage and aschool-record 34 touchdowns, leading the Big Sky in pass-ing efficiency (168.2) and total offense (243.1), while rank-ing fifth and 11th nationally.

Souers arrived in Flagstaff after spending 12 years atMontana with a proven track record. His last eight seasonsin Missoula he served as defensive coordinator. During hisstay with the Grizzlies, Montana was transformed from a BigSky also-ran into a perennial league and national title con-tender. Souers’ tenure in Missoula produced 12 straight win-ning seasons, seven playoff berths, four appearances in thenational semifinals, a national runner-up finish (1996) and anational title (1995). Montana won three Big Sky titles dur-ing that span.

Souers showed his winning touch from the start inJanuary 1998 when he took over a program in limbo,

becoming the first NAU coach sinceDwain Painter in 1979 to begin hiscareer with a winning record.

Despite dressing only 44 playersfor his first spring practice, includingwalk-ons, Souers led theLumberjacks to a winning season.Highlights from Souers’ first seasonat NAU included the Lumberjacks’first shutout of a Division I opponent(NAU 9, Cal Poly 0) in 31 games, twonear road victories against leaguetitle contenders Eastern Washingtonand Montana State and a season-ending two-game winning streak.

In 2001, the Lumberjacks postedone of the nation's most improvedrecords, recording an 8-4 mark to tiefor second place in the Big SkyConference. NAU earned a berth inthe I-AA playoffs for the second timein school history before dropping a34-31 decision at Sam Houston Statein the first round.

The success of the NAU footballteam in 2001 was evident in theaccolades bestowed on the program.Fifteen student-athletes were recog-nized with All-Big Sky Conferencehonors. All-Big Sky first-team selec-

tions linebacker Keith O'Neil signed as a free agent with theDallas Cowboys and recently won a Super Bowl title with theIndianapolis Colts in his fourth year in the NFL. Senior tack-le Eric Damko was named to the Verizon Academic All-America squad for the second consecutive season.

Jerome Souers was born May 20, 1958, in Oregon.He attended North Eugene High School, along with anotherfuture coach, Danny Ainge of the Phoenix Suns.

He began his coaching career while still attendingOregon. Souers spent time on the staff at North EugeneHigh School and Williamette, working in the same area ofthe state where his father, Dwight, was a successful prepcoach. Souers earned his degree in physical education in1983 and upon graduation returned to the high-schoolranks. He spent eight years coaching in Oregon highschools before making the move into college football.

In 1984 he made his foray into the collegiate ranks,joining the staff at Western Washington where he coordinat-ed the defense and coached the defensive backs.

A year later, Souers joined Don Read’s staff at then-Division II Portland State. After one year serving as the

Viking's running backs coach, Souers followed Read toMontana.

With Souers coaching the secondary, the new staff inMissoula produced records of 6-4 and 6-5 during its first twoyears. A hint of things to come came in 1988 when theGrizzlies went 8-4 and led the Big Sky Conference in alldefensive categories.

In 1989, Souers added defensive coordinator to hisduties and the Grizzlies posted an 11-2 record with anappearance in the national semifinals. Montana also tied anational interception record in one game with 10 picks vs.Boise State. A year later, the Grizzlies opened the 1990campaign with a 22-15 road win at Oregon State.

During Souers’ nine years as defensive coordinator atMontana, the Grizzlies twice ranked among the nation’s top-10 in rushing defense, finishing third in the country in thatcategory in 1992. His last unit in Missoula led the Big SkyConference in scoring defense.

The peak years during Souers’ stay at Montana camefrom 1993 to 1996. During that period, the Grizzlies madefour straight playoff appearances, played in three semifinalsand two national title games. The 1995 squad won thenational title and the 1996 team was the NCAA runner-up.The four-year record for Montana during that time was 48-8.

During the national title run, Souers’ defense becamethe first in NCAA history to post consecutive playoff shutouts(Eastern Kentucky and Georgia Southern).

He coached six All-America defensive backs atMontana, including future NFL stars Tim Hauck of theSeattle Seahawks and Blaine McElmurry of the Green BayPackers.

In 1996, when head coach Mick Dennehy was side-lined after undergoing major surgery, Souers stepped in ashead coach and led the Grizzlies to victories over Cal StateNorthridge and Portland State.

Souers and his wife, Paula, have two daughters, Anna(23) and Alaina (21).

school single-season charts and werethe most by a running back since 2000.

NAU gained 772 yards of totaloffense against the New MexicoHighlands, shattering the school recordset in 1989 against Nevada of 674. Itwas the highest single-game total inthe FCS and second overall in allDivision I last season.

Reid joined the NAU staff afterdeveloping a reputation as one of thetop line coaches in the league whileserving in previous positions atPortland State and EasternWashington.

Reid coached some of the mosttalented offensive lines in the Big SkyConference prior to coming toFlagstaff. In 2004 and 2005, theVikings led the Big Sky Conference inrushing yards and fewest sacksallowed, totaling an average of 200yards per game on the ground and just20 sacks over 22 games.

The Big Sky postseason awardledger confirmed Reid’s influence atPortland State. In his five seasons,nine Vikings earned All-Big Sky honorsa total of 13 times, highlighted byBrennan Carvalho, who was a first-team All-America selection by TheWalter Camp Foundation and theAssociated Press in 2006.

Reid, who was hired at PSU in2002, had to build his line over thecourse of a few seasons. His first twoyears on the job, the Vikings’ werebeset with a multitude of injuries. Infact, in the only game in 2003 thatPSU’s preseason projected startinglineup was able to go as a unit - againstDivision I-A Fresno State - the Vikingsran for a season-high 257 yards, andgained 486 overall. It was a testamentto the Vikings’ talent and Reid’s coach-ing ability.

Reid was hired as the Vikings’offensive line coach in January of2002. He joined the Vikings afterspending the previous two seasons asoffensive line coach at EasternWashington University.

At Eastern Washington, Reid’s2001 offensive line had three first-teamAll-Big Sky performers and one All-American, Chris Polinder.

Reid is a 1996 graduate of theUniversity of Oregon with a degree insociology. A starter at offensive guard,Reid played for the Ducks from 1991 to1995, starting in the 1995 Rose Bowland 1996 Cotton Bowl.

A native of Poway, Calif., Reidreturned to his home state followinggraduation. He coached the offensiveline at San Diego Mesa Junior Collegeand at San Diego’s Bishop High School

for one year each. Reid went back toOregon to be a graduate assistantcoach on the offensive line in both1998 and 1999.

Reid, 39, and his wife Dyanne,have nine-year old twin daughters,Allyson and Elizabeth.

Page 70: 2012 Northern Arizona Football Media Guide

A new era in the Big Sky Conferencebegins in 2012-13 as the league enters its50th year of athletic competition, and its25th sponsoring women’s collegiate athlet-ics.

The Division I Big Sky Conference wel-comes the University of North Dakota andSouthern Utah University into the fold asfull members. Cal Poly and UC Davis jointhe league as affiliate members in football,where the league competes at theChampionship Subdivision level (formerly I-AA).

The additions of North Dakota andSouthern Utah give the stable Big Sky 11full institutions and 13 football members.The current lineup includes four of the sixcharter members: Idaho State University,The University of Montana, Montana StateUniversity and Weber State. NorthernArizona enters its 43rd season in the BigSky, giving the conference five memberswith at least 40 years of continuous mem-bership.

Eastern Washington Universityjoined the Big Sky Conference in 1987,followed by Portland State University andSacramento State in 1996. The Big Skybecame a nine-team league in 2006 withthe addition of the University of NorthernColorado.

The league has become one of thestrongest Division I conferences in theWest and is a national leader in theFootball Championship Subdivision. Sixtimes, Big Sky teams have won theDivision I National Championship, includ-ing Eastern Washington in 2010. A BigSky team has played for the nationalchampionship in three of the past fourseasons.

The Big Sky Conference was estab-lished in 1963 by six charter members –Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana,Montana State and Weber State. Thosesix schools formed the foundation of theBig Sky before the league expanded in1970 by adding Boise State and NorthernArizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979and was replaced by Nevada, whichgave the league eight members. Theconference grew to nine schools in 1987

with the addition of EasternWashington.

The 1990s saw changein the makeup of theleague, beginning in 1992when Nevada departedand put the Big Sky back ateight teams. In 1996 BoiseState and Idaho left and atthe same time the confer-ence added Portland State,Sacramento State and CalState Northridge. The BigSky maintained nine teamsfor five years before CalState Northridge departed

in the spring of 2001.The Big Sky now includes nine states

spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the RedRiver Valley of North Dakota. The league isrepresented along the entire west coastwith institutions in Washington, Oregon andCalifornia. League schools also range upand down the Rocky Mountains with institu-tions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona andColorado.

On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Skywas adopted by the six presidents of thecharter members as the name of the newconference. The name Big Sky originatedin a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud)Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 enti-tled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a formerMontana advertising director, promoted theBig Sky theme for the Treasure State. Whileon a track and field trip from Pocatello,Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., legendary DubbyHolt of Idaho State saw a “Welcome to Big

Sky Country” sign as his team enteredMontana. Holt, and his athletes thought“Big Sky” would be a perfect name for thenew conference. Harry Missildine of theSpokane Spokesman-Review called for thenewly formed league to be named the BigSky Conference in his column dated Feb.20, 1963.

The Big Sky sponsors championshipsin 15 sports, including men’s and women’scross country, indoor and outdoor track andfield, basketball and tennis. In addition,there are also championships in football,and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer.This upcoming spring, the Big Sky willsponsor a softball championship for the firsttime.

In 1988-89, the Big Sky Conferencefirst began sponsoring women’s sports. Theformer Mountain West Conference existedfrom 1982-88, sponsoring championshipsfor women’s sports at the same institutionsthe Big Sky had men’s programs. The BigSky merged with the Mountain West in1988, forming one league for both men andwomen.

Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissionerof the Big Sky Conference, is in his 18thyear at the helm. Fullerton took over the BigSky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtimecommissioner Ron Stephenson, whopassed away in 2011. Stephenson servedthe league for 14 years. Steve Belko wasthe commissioner from 1977-81, whileJohn Roning held the post from 1971-77.The first league commissioner was JackFriel, who served from 1963-71.

In 2012, the J. Lawrence WalkupSkydome, one of the most unique venuesin all of college athletics, celebrates its 36thyear as the entertainment center for north-ern Arizona.

The building underwent a major reno-vation from Dec. 2010-Sept. 9, 2011, at acost of $26 million. The scope of the projectincluded bringing the fire, life and safety upto code while remodeling the bathrooms,concourse, offices, suites, locker roomsand press box. The athletic training andequipment on the main floor were alsoremodeled and three elevators were addedto the complex. Fans now enter the buildingto a panoramic view of the field on the Eastand west concourses. Capacity wasreduced to 10,000 but now feature 21-inchwide chair back seating.

The Skydome has been the home ofNAU football, basketball and indoor trackand field since 1977. Construction began inthe fall of 1975, and the facility was com-pleted in September 1977. Seating capaci-ty for football originally was 15,000 and7,000 for basketball.

Once the largest wood-span structureof its kind in the world, the Skydome wasbuilt at a cost of more than $8 million. Itcovers an area of 6.2 acres, with the roofspanning more than 500 feet and rising 142feet above the playing surface.

The Skydome showcases the REAL-GRASS™ surface installed in the spring of2008 by the Hellas Construction firm ofAustin, Texas. The carpet, the Matrix ver-sion of the brand REALGRASS™ costclose to $1 million. The REALGRASS™Matrix system is comprised of a monofila-ment spinneret yarn in two different sizesand colors. It is the same installed for theDallas Cowboys' stadium.

With the 2001 renovation to theSkydome floor, the 96,000-square foot sur-face was covered with Mondo. The trackcontains a six-lane, 300-meter non-bankedloop (eight sprinting lanes) with the infieldcontaining enough area for six NCAA-stan-dard basketball and volleyball courts, aswell as two regulation tennis courts. Trackand field specific, the facility now has 12-

month training capabilities. When coveredfor football with artificial turf, the Skydomesupports a practice pole vault pit and along/triple jump runway, as well as a lanefor sprinting and hurdles. When the turf isup, the facility can be used for intramuraland camp sports, and has enough room fora varsity soccer practice.

The roof was also resurfaced duringthe summer of 2000 and the astroturf wasreplaced in 2002 from a surface that was inthe Tropicana Dome, the home of theTampa Bay Devil Rays, in St. Petersburg,Fla.

The concourse contains offices, meet-ing rooms, restrooms and concessionstands. Located on the dome’s floor levelare fully equipped locker rooms and state-of-the-art athletic training and weightrooms. During the summer of 1997, thedome underwent a $1 million lighting reno-vation that further enhanced the Skydome’slure for television cameras. Fresh air andheat come through 19 large ducts, main-taining a constant temperature of 72degrees.

The first NAU sporting event held inthe Skydome was a Lumberjack win overMontana in football on a last-second fieldgoal, 25-24. The first NAU basketball gamewas a 101-76 triumph over AlaskaAnchorage.

Special athletics events held in theSkydome include a Division II football play-off game in 1977, a Division I-AA footballplayoff games in 1996 and 2003, a first-

round National Invitation Tournament bas-ketball game in 1986 and 2006, the 1987,1997, 1998 and 2006 Big Sky Conferencemen’s basketball tournaments, and the1984, 1990, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006,2009 and 2012 Big Sky Conference indoortrack and field championship meets. In2003, comedian Jay Leno appeared at theSkydome in a special Family Weekendevent.

Many special events, including con-certs, trade shows and high-school statetournaments are held in the Skydome eachyear. It also serves as training camp homeof the Arizona Cardinals and Phoenix Suns.In May of 2000, the facility hosted a WNBAexhibition game between the PhoenixMercury and the Detroit Shock.
