SDSU has postedeight consecutive winning seasons, including the school’s first six campaigns at the FCS (formerly Division I-AA) level. The Jackrabbits have had a winning record in 11 of Stiegelmeier’s 13 years as head coach, includingsix with seven or more wins.
The 2009 season proved to be a memorable one as Stiegelmeier led the Jackrabbits to their first FCS playoffappearance and the program’s first postseason appearance in 30 years. The Jackrabbits finished as runner-up inthe Missouri Valley Football Conference with a 7-1 record and finished the season 8-4 overall. Nationally rankedfor the entire season, including appearing in the top 10 for two weeks, the Jacks finished the 2009 campaignranked 11th in both the FCS Coaches' and Sports Network media polls.
In 2008, the Jackrabbits entered another new era in their Division I pursuits as they joined the nine-team Missouri Valley Football Conference. With the transition from Division II completed, SDSU fell just short of aplayoff berth in its first season of eligibility, ending the year with a 7-5 overall record and 6-2 mark in the MVFC.Of SDSU’s five losses, four came against ranked FCS opponents, including conference co-champions NorthernIowa and Southern Illinois. The team’s other loss was at the hands of Football Bowl Subdivision opponent IowaState in the season opener.
The Jackrabbits cracked the FCS national polls for the first time in late October 2006, after posting back-to-back come-from-behind victories over CalPoly and UC Davis. After climbing as high as No. 19 on the final week of the regular season, the Jackrabbits finished the 2006 season ranked 22nd by theSports Network.
SDSU began the 2007 season in a preseason national poll for the first time, checking in at No. 20 in the Sports Network poll. The Jackrabbits droppedout of the rankings after a season-opening loss and didn’t return to the top 25 until the final poll of the season with a 19th-place showing.
The Jackrabbits continued their ascension at the FCS level during the 2008 season, reaching the 12th spot in the Sports Network poll after openingleague play with home victories over No. 14 Youngstown State and No. 15 Western Illinois in back-to-back weeks. In all, SDSU was ranked seven weeks.
During the 2007 season, SDSU claimed its first conference title since 1963 by winning the Great West Football Conference championship. After starting 0-3 for the second consecutive season, SDSU reeled off seven wins in its final eight games, including a 29-24 victory over previously undefeatedNorth Dakota State the final week of the season, to claim the GWFC title with a 7-4 overall record and 4-0 mark in league play.
In leading SDSU to the GWFC title, Stiegelmeier was named conference coach of the year and was honored by the American Football Coaches Association as the Division I Football Championship Subdivision Region 5 Coach of the Year. In addition, he was named as one of five finalists in the FCSfor the 2007 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award.
After posting back-to-back 6-5 seasons in 2004 and 2005, the Jackrabbits rose another notch in 2006 as they compiled a 7-4 overall record, finishing theseason ranked 21st in the final FCS poll conducted by The Sports Network and 22nd in the College Sporting News coaches’ poll. Following an 0-3 start,the Jackrabbits rebounded by winning seven consecutive games for the first time since 1963. Three of the victories came in the closing minutes against nationally ranked teams, setting up a showdown with North Dakota State on the final week of the season for both the Dakota Marker and Great West Football Conference title. Although SDSU fell short in the championship game, the Jackrabbits finished with their most victories since 2003 and their bestmark in the three-year history of the GWFC at 3-1.
Stiegelmeier, 53, is the 20th head coach for the Jackrabbits. His tenure of 13 years as head coach is the second-longest head coaching stint in school his-tory.
The Selby, S.D., native first became acquainted with the Jackrabbit football program as a student assistant under John Gregory during SDSU’s onlyother NCAA playoff season in 1979. With the Jackrabbits’ victory at McNeese State (La.) on Sept. 30, 2006, Stiegelmeier passed Gregory (55-50-3 from1972-81) for sole possession of second place on the SDSU career wins list.
After graduating from SDSU with degrees in mathematics and physicaleducation, Stiegelmeier enrolled in graduate school at the University ofNorthern Iowa, where he served on the coaching staff of a Panther squadwhich posted a 7-4 mark in 1981.
Stiegelmeier coached at Eau Claire (Wis.) North High School from 1981-84, then returned to his home state as defensive coordinator, secondarycoach and recruiting coordinator at Northern State University from 1984-87.Northern was 8-3 in his last season with the Wolves and finished fourth inthe nation in total defense.
Stiegelmeier returned to his alma mater in July 1988, joining WayneHaensel’s Jackrabbit coaching staff as secondary coach and recruiting coordinator. After Haensel stepped down following the 1990 season,Stiegelmeier was elevated to defensive coordinator by new head coach MikeDaly.
In six seasons as defensive coordinator, Stiegelmeier helped guide theJackrabbits to a 41-23 record, turning in a winning record in all six seasons,including five seven-win seasons. That track record of success helpedStiegelmeier secure his first head coaching position in December 1996,when he was named Daly’s successor.

2010 Jackrabbit Football
Coughlin-Alumni Stadium is in its 49th season as home of Jackrabbitfootball.
In the quest to maintain it as one of the top outdoor football facilities inthe Upper Midwest, Coughlin-Alumni Stadium has undergone majorchanges during the past decade.
A new scoreboard was installed in the south end zone prior to the 2005season. The scoreboard, which was manufactured by Brookings-basedDaktronics, measures approximately 121 feet wide by 56 feet high andfeatures a large full-color ProStar® video replay screen in the center withadditional statistical and advertising panels.
The football scoreboard was part of a $3 million upgrade to scoreboarddisplay systems and signage at SDSU athletic facilities.
Also in the past decade at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, lights were added,parking lots were paved, new restrooms were constructed, a new ticketbooth added, and an organized tailgating area known as “The Backyard”was cleared directly north of the stadium.
CAS will see other changes this fall as the Dykhouse Student-AthleteCenter, located in the north end zone, will house the Jackrabbit footballteam for the first time.
With the addition of the lights during the summer of 2000, CAS also became the home of the Brookings High School Bobcats.
SDSU played its first game under the lights at CAS on Sept. 1, 2001,defeating Ferris State (Mich.), 34-24. The Jackrabbits have gone on tocompile an 18-5 record in night games at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.
The natural-grass stadium opened Sept. 22, 1962, when the Jacks lost a9-7 decision to Arkansas State.
Through the first 48 years of operation, there have been 256 gamesagainst 59 different opponents at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, with SDSUholding a 158-98 record (.617 winning percentage) on its home field.
Since moving to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivi-sion in 2004, the Jackrabbits have posted a 24-7 mark at CAS. That in-cludes a7-1 record at home against Missouri Valley Football Conferenceopponents.
The largest crowd ever to see a football game of any kind in SouthDakota came through the turnstiles on Nov. 17, 2007, when 16,345 fanswatched the Jackrabbits defeat North Dakota State, 29-24, for the GreatWest Football Conference title. NDSU entered the game undefeated andranked No. 1 in the FCS Coaches Poll.
SDSU also set a single-season attendance record during the 2007 cam-paign as an average of 11,218 fans attended each of the Jackrabbits’ sixhome games. Four of the games drew crowds better than 10,000 and threeranked among the 10 largest crowds in stadium history. The Jackrabbitshave performed well in front of large crowds, winning eight of the 10most-attended games.
The previous single-game attendance record was set on Hobo Day, Oct.19, 1985, when 16,193 fans saw SDSU defeat the University of SouthDakota 24-12. USD also was undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the nation atthe time.
The stadium project was started after Charles Coughlin, a 1909 graduateand former student-athlete, donated $50,000 towards the building of a newstadium to replace State Field. The remaining $250,000 of the original$300,000 cost was raised from alumni, students and friends of SDSU.

COACH TO CURE MDThe South Dakota State University coach-
ing staff will join football coaches fromacross the country next weekend (Sept. 25) inthe Coach to Cure MD campaign.
About Coach to Cure MD (CTC)Coach To Cure MD is a partnership
between the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), a professional organiza-tion for over 10,000 college football coachesand staff, and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the largest national charity devoted exclusively to Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In 2008 the AFCAadopted PPMD’s Coach To Cure MD program as one of their charity efforts. Onereason the AFCA was drawn to Coach ToCure MD was because of the unique parallelsbetween Duchenne, a disorder which robsyoung men of precious muscle strength andcollege football, a game where young men areat the peak of their muscle strength.
The goals of Coach To Cure MD are sim-ple: raise national awareness of the disorderand raise money to fund research for a cure.
Our approach to reaching these goals is alsosimple. One football Saturday of each season(this year it will be on September 25, 2010)AFCA coaches nationwide agree to promoteCoach To Cure MD. By wearing armbands,mentioning Coach To Cure MD during on andoff-field interviews, and in some instancesdoing even more extensive media relationsaround the date, coaches are rolling up theirsleeves and proudly getting involved.
About Duchenne Muscular DystrophyDuchenne is the most common fatal geneticdisorder diagnosed during early childhood. Aprogressive muscle disorder that causes lossof muscle function and independence,Duchenne affects approximately one out ofevery 3,500 boys and 20,000 babies born eachyear worldwide. The disorder manifests pri-marily in boys because the affected gene isfound on the X-chromosome. Duchenneknows no other boundaries, touching all racesand cultures.
Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy(PPMD) estimates that there are approxi-mately 15,000 young men with Duchennealive today in the United States. Duchennecan occur during any pregnancy regardless offamily history. To date, there is no cure ortreatment to stop the progression ofDuchenne, and young men with Duchennetypically live only into their twenties.
About Parent Project Muscular Dystro-phy (PPMD)
Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy(PPMD) is the largest nonprofit organizationin the United States focused entirely onDuchenne muscular dystrophy.
Since 1994, PPMD has improved the treat-ment, quality of life, and long-term outlookfor all individuals affected by Duchennethrough research, advocacy, education, andcompassion. Because of PPMD’s efforts,families affected by Duchenne have better access to state-of-the-art care information, re-search is moving forward at an acceleratedpace, and legislation now exists fundingDuchenne research and outreach programs.
PPMD takes a comprehensive approach inthe fight against Duchenne—funding re-search, raising awareness, promoting advo-cacy, connecting the community, andbroadening treatment options. Only this com-prehensive approach will lead to the day that100 percent of those diagnosed can turn to atreatment that will lead to the end ofDuchenne muscular dystrophy.

At Wintrode CenterSuccess comes wrapped in many packages
AT STATE
Claire Jucht took the college prep track, but when the 2009 Sioux FallsRoosevelt grad listened to her Chemistry 112 instructor as a first-semesterSDSU freshman, she thought, “I don’t remember any of this.”
But rather than continue to struggle, the 19-year-old dietetics majorquickly balanced the formula by receiving tutoring through the WintrodeStudent Success Center at the corner of 8th Street and 11th Avenue on theSDSU campus. “I wanted to get help early so I didn’t have to dig my wayout of a hole,” Jucht said.
She found a comrade in classmate Kayla Jessen, a 20-year-old from Red-field, who wasn’t satisfied with the C she got on her first Chem 112 test.
At the Wintrode Center she found tutors that “would answer my home-work questions and tell me what to focus on. It really helped a lot and madethe information clearer when it came time to study,” said Jessen, a pre-physical therapy and athletic training major.
The bottom line: Jessen got the grade she wanted — an A.The Wintrode Center, housed in the former United Campus Ministries
building and funded by a generous donation from Floridians Virgil andJosephine Wintrode, serves students of all abilities in a variety of programs.
It was the desire of Virgil and Josephine Wintrode to help students over-come obstacles and gain the skills they need to move forward.
In addition to the tutoring program it also is home to the Office of Dis-ability Services, the Reading Enrichment Lab, TRIO Programs, and theWriting Center. All programs are free for SDSU students.

Heading into the start of the 2010 football season, six former SouthDakota State standouts were in training camps of National Football Leagueteams, continuing the Jackrabbits’ long tradition of developing players intopro prospects.
Headlining the list was Adam Vinatieri of the Indianapolis Colts. Vinatierihas earned a reputation as one the most consistent and clutch kickers in theNFL. After two Pro Bowl selections (2002, 2004), he left New England following the 2005 season as the team’s career scoring leader. Vinatieri’s career totals include 338-of-412 on field goal attempts, 82 percent, and 1,530career points. He holds the second-longest streak of consecutive 100-pointseasons to start a career in NFL history with 13 — a streak that ended duringan injury-plagued 2009 campaign.
Vinatieri also has excelled in the postseason. He holds the distinction ofbeing the only kicker in NFL history to play in five different Super Bowlgames, and made a field goal four of those games. He kicked last-secondgame-winning field goals in Super Bowl XXXVI against St. Louis and SuperBowl XXXVIII versus Carolina, as well as a game-tying 45-yard field goalin a snowstorm against Oakland in the 2001 AFC Playoffs. His career post-season totals include 42-of-51 on field goals and a perfect 51-of-51 on extrapoints. Vinatieri’s field goal totals are NFL postseason records, as are his 177points.
Vinatieri began his professional career with the Amsterdam Admirals ofNFL Europe before signing with the New England Patriots in 1996.
Four members of SDSU’s 2009 Football Championship Subdivision playoff team competed for NFL roster spots this summer, including defenisvestandout Danny Batten.
Batten became the first Jackrabbit player in 11 years to be taken in theNFL Draft, when he was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round. Adefensive end in college, Batten was moved to linebacker at the professionallevel, but will miss the 2010 season after suffering an injury.
Three other Jackrabbit standouts signed free-agent contracts following the2010 draft. Offensive linemen Casey Bender and Casey Knips agreed to
terms with the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals, respecively, whilelinebacker Chris Johnson originally received a tryout with the Chicago Bearsbefore signing with the Arizona Cardinals.
In addition, Mitch Erickson spent training camp with the Seattle Seahawks,after spending the 2008 and 2009 season on the practice squad for the DenverBroncos.
Another former Jackrabbit kicker, Parker Douglass, is playing profession-ally with the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League.Douglass kicked for the California Redwoods in 2009.

2009 Jackrabbit Football
MISSOURI VALLEY FOOTBALL CONFERENCE
The past four seasons have dealt great changeto the Missouri Valley Football Conference.Within that span, the league has lost a member,gained two members and changed its name.
Despite those developments, a quality nation-ally competitive product has been a constant forthe league, which celebrated its Silver Anniver-sary in 2009.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference en-ters its 26th year of existence this fall and hasproven to be one of the nation’s premier NCAAFootball Championship Subdivision (FCS)leagues.
There’s not much that has eluded the confer-ence in its first 25 years of existence. Theleague’s first two-plus decades have includednational championships, national players of theyear, national coaches of the year, No. 1 nationalrankings, and countless All-Americans.
Strong coaching and great players havehelped make the league a national force, but thestability and leadership of Commissioner PattyViverito -- the only commissioner the league hasever known -- has helped make the MissouriValley Football Conference a standard bearer onthe FCS scene. Indeed, all signs point to contin-ued national prominence for the Missouri ValleyFootball Conference as it enters its 26th seasonin 2010.
In June 2008, presidents of the nine-memberGateway Football Conference and the 10-mem-ber Missouri Valley Conference approved a rebranding initiative that changed the footballconference name from the Gateway FootballConference to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. It represented the second namechange for the football league. Initially, the conference competed as the Gateway CollegiateAthletic Conference (1985-91) and the GatewayFootball Conference (1992-2007).
Although the league shares the Missouri Val-ley name, the football-playing members com-pete under a separate administrative umbrella, asthe Missouri Valley Conference and the MissouriValley Football Conference will remain separateentities.
While the 2009 season didn’t produce a national championship, it was a successful one,as Southern Illinois and South Dakota State represented the conference in the playoffs,marking the 15th-straight season in which atleast two teams have participated in post-seasonplay. For three-straight weeks to close out theregular season, Southern Illinois enjoyed the No.1 national ranking, while RB Deji Karim ofSouthern Illinois and DE Danny Batten of SouthDakota State were finalists in the Walter PaytonAward and Buck Buchanan voting, respectively,with each finishing third.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference hastwo recent national championships (Western
Kentucky - 2002; Youngstown State - 1997), andleague members Youngstown State (3) andSouthern Illinois (1) own additional titles priorto their league membership, meaning six FCSchampionship trophies are housed on leaguecampuses, in addition to three (YoungstownState twice and UNI in 2005) runner-up finishes.Only five FCS leagues possess more than a single FCS championship trophy, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference is amongthat elite.
In recent years, the league has established it-self as a leader among FCS conferences. Duringthe past 13 years, the league has two nationalchampionships and eight other semifinal trips.The league’s 36-27 playoff mark in that span isthird-best among all FCS leagues, and the con-ference has had four teams reach the title gamesince 1997.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference success is not limited to the immediatepast. During the decade of the 1990’s, currentmembers of the league compiled a 34-19 markin the FCS playoffs, bettered only by the South-ern Conference, whose members were 37-19 inthat decade.
Team accomplishments have helped solidifythe Missouri Valley Football Conference as anFCS elite, but individuals at the league’s mem-ber institutions are the real source of pridewithin the conference. Thanks to great playersand strong coaching, the Missouri Valley Foot-ball Conference has reached and will maintainits place among the FCS best.
Last year, despite tough scheduling, six teamsin the conference had winning records, markingthe first time that’s ever happened in the 25-yearhistory of the league. The Missouri Valley Foot-ball Conference has had four teams (or more)with better than .500 records in the same season16 times now, including the past 12 seasons.
In 1997, Youngstown State grabbed thecrowned jewel for the conference, as the leaguehad one of its most successful seasons. In addi-tion to claiming the league’s first national cham-pionship, the Penguins finished the year rankedNo. 1, marking the first time a league memberhas held that spot in a season-ending poll. Thatyear, Western Illinois was at No. 6, marking thefirst time the league ended the year with twoteams ranked among the top six.
In 1999, the Missouri Valley Football Confer-ence trumped that, as Youngstown State finishedthe year No. 2 and Illinois State was No. 3. UNIalso finished in the top 20 in both nationally rec-ognized polls.
In 2002, Western Kentucky added to theleague’s national championship trophy case withan FCS crown, while both WKU (No. 1) andWestern Illinois (No. 5) finished among the nation’s top five in the season-ending polls. The Hilltoppers became the first school to earn

2009 Jackrabbit Football
MISSOURI VALLEY FOOTBALL CONFERENCEvictories against the tourney’s top three seeds enroute to their national championship.
In 2003, four Valley teams represented theleague in the 16-team NCAA playoffs, markingthe first time any league has sent that many tothe playoffs in the same year.
In 2004, Southern Illinois spent a league-record 11 weeks as the nation’s top-rankedteam, while all eight league teams received votesfor the Top 25 at some point in the season. Line-backer Boomer Grigsby of Illinois State earneda National Defensive Player of the Year honor,while SIU’s Jerry Kill was National Coach ofthe Year.
In 2005, UNI became the fourth leagueschool to reach the FCS championship gamesince 1997, while Southern Illinois and WesternKentucky combined to hold the nation’s No. 1ranking in the top-25 polls for five weeks.
In 2006, Youngstown State won its second-straight league championship and the Penguinswere joined in the playoff field by Illinois Stateand Southern Illinois. That marked only the second time in league history the league hadmore than two teams qualify for the 16-teamplayoff field. SIU’s Arkee Whitlock was a national player of the year award winner (College Sporting News) and was third in theWalter Payton Award balloting.
In 2008, six teams were nationally ranked inthe same poll, marking the first time in leaguehistory that had happened. Those six teams wereranked for four consecutive weeks. NorthDakota State held the nation’s No. 1 spot for itsfirst two weeks as a conference member, whilerookie coach Dale Lennon of Southern Illinoisbecame just the third mentor to win Coach of theYear honors in his first league season.
The original Gateway Conference wasfounded as a women’s athletic organization inAugust 1982, following the dissolution of theAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics forWomen. In September of that year, Patty Viverito was named the first commissioner ofthe newly founded conference, a position shemaintains today. Before moving to its permanentheadquarters in St. Louis, the conference spentthree organizational months on the campus ofEastern Illinois University.
In July of 1992, the 10-team conference disbanded as its women’s programs realignedwith their men’s teams in their respective conferences. The league assumed its new nameon July 1, 1992, becoming the Gateway FootballConference, an NCAA FCS football leaguecomprised of seven Midwest institutions.
The Gateway Conference football divisionwas born on August 21, 1985, when the Gate-
way Conference President’s Council voted toadd a FCS football division for six of its mem-bers to the previously all-women’s athletics organization. Founding members of the footballdivision were Eastern Illinois, Illinois State,UNI, Southern Illinois, Southwest MissouriState (now Missouri State) and Western Illinois.The creation of the football division marked thefirst time in college annals that football wasadded to a women’s conference. In June of1986, Indiana State became the seventh memberof the conference.
In the 25 years of the football division, leaguemembership has been stable -- with only fivefluctuations since 1986 Eastern Illinois left theleague to join the Ohio Valley Conference in1996, while Youngstown State joined the confer-ence in 1997 to return league membership to itsoriginal seven-member status. League member-ship reached what was then an all-time high ofeight members for the start of the 2001 seasonwith the addition of Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers left the league after six years to jointhe Sun Belt (FBS) North Dakota State andSouth Dakota State joined for the start of the2008 season, giving the league nine membersfor the first time.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference isamong 10 FCS conferences that receive auto-matic bids to the NCAA FCS Championship.The conference has had an automatic bid since1986, as the FCS Football Committee waivedthe league’s two-year waiting period and grantedthe league an automatic bid after just one year.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference isthe only automatic FCS qualifying conferencethat sponsors football as its only sport, as theleague completed its service to women’s athlet-
ics following the 1991-92 season. Although theleague no longer sponsors women’s sports, theleague has an historical place in the developmentof intercollegiate women’s athletics.
The 10 founders of the original Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference currently belongto three conferences. Eight members joined theirmen’s programs in the Missouri Valley: Bradley,Drake, Illinois State, Indiana State, MissouriState, UNI, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State.Eastern Illinois is now in the Ohio Valley Conference, while Western Illinois competes inThe Summit League.
Members of the Missouri Valley FootballConference (and initial year of membership) include: Illinois State University (1985), IndianaState University (1986), Missouri State Univer-sity (1985), North Dakota State University(2008), the University of Northern Iowa (1985),South Dakota State University (2008), SouthernIllinois University (1985), Western Illinois Uni-versity (1985), and Youngstown State University(1997).
Five Missouri Valley Football Conferencemembers also compete in the Missouri ValleyConference (Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, and SouthernIllinois). Three league schools compete in TheSummit League (North Dakota State, SouthDakota State, and Western Illinois), whileYoungstown State competes in the HorizonLeague for its other sports.
In its decade of operation, the Gateway spon-sored championships in 10 women’s sports andfootball. The women’s sports were basketball,cross country, golf, indoor and outdoor track &field, swimming and diving, tennis, softball, volleyball and, early on, field hockey.
SOUTH DAKOTA STATE officially opened the Missouri Valley Football Conference era bydefeating Youngstown State, 40-7, on Sept. 6, 2008, at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. TheJackrabbits ended their inaugural season in the MVFC with a 6-2 league record.
