He was asked for a ‘gameday’ schedule and his eyes lit up. He

started with the pre-game meal, worked his way through the

music blaring in the locker room, players getting taped and onto

when position players would take the field in groups. There was

something going on in the mind of Incarnate Word Coach Mike

Santiago and everyone in the discussion could readily see it.

The man was on the verge of coaching football again; the reality

of UIW’s first team taking the field was at hand and Mike

Santiago was ready for action.

He came to San Antonio in late May of 2007. He had always

wanted to coach football at a Catholic university and had

dreamed of starting a football program at the collegiate level.

When he was offered and accepted the Incarnate Word position,

he knew what he was getting just maybe not what he was getting

into.

Over the first 12 months at UIW,

he often was heard saying “be

careful what you wish for…”. And

so, after weeks of rushing from a

recruiting meeting to a session

about the Gayle and Tom Benson

Stadium construction project to

another gathering concerning

budgeting or admissions or

maybe purchasing of equipment,

Mike Santiago was dreaming of

“coaching football players.”

In February of 2008 Incarnate

Word announced its first-ever

recruiting class and on that first

signing day the Cardinals inked

27 players. And it was about that

same time ground was broken on the Benson Stadium on cam-

pus and over the ensuing six months Coach Santiago, make that

Construction Consultant Mike Santiago, was ever-present as the

stadium rose from the ground alongside the 16,000-square foot

fieldhouse.

Equipment had to be purchased at the same time and Santiago

could not afford to get too far away from that project. And in the

meantime he was assembling a staff of coordinators, operations

personnel, assistant coaches, athletic trainers, student workers,

and the list goes on.

In and around all that, Mike Santiago was shaking hands, deliver-

ing speeches and generally making new friends for himself and

for the Incarnate Word football department. The first twelve

months on the job were a whirlwind for Coach Santiago but he

never veered much off curse because this was what he had long

hoped for, to build a program from ground level.

In August of 2008 Coach Santiago and his staff opened the doors

to greet more than 100 guys wanting to play Cardinals football.

They went through a fall program which included everything

except playing the actual games. Then there was the off-season

with its activities and finally a spring with its sessions culminating

with a spring game at Benson Stadium.

Another pivotal point in mid-2008-2009 came when Incarnate

Word was accepted into the Lone Star Conference as an across-

the-board member with foot-

ball leading the way. That

means Santiago and his

Cardinals will go through a

10-game 2009 schedule as

an NCAA Division II inde-

pendent before playing Lone

Star football in 2010.

All that aside, it’s now time to

get out on the new turf of

Benson Stadium and coach

some football against guys in

different colored jerseys, the thing he enjoys most of all.

Prior to his arrival at UIW, Santiago worked for two seasons as

the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Utah State

University. While there, he coached the top two Western Athletic

Conference leaders in all-purpose yards, and two of his quarter-

back protégés set records for rushing yards. His head coaching

experiences were gained during six years as the leader at

Stephen F. Austin University of the 1-AA Southland Conference.

His cumulative mark there was 39-27 and the Lumberjacks won

the 1999 conference

title with an 8-3 mark

the nation’s best

turnaround for that

year. To date, that

remains the school’s

only conference

championship.

In addition to his

stints at those two

schools, the Arizona

native was an assis-

tant at McNeese

State, Southwest

Texas State, Western

Michigan, Northern

Arizona, North

Carolina State and

Lamar. Over his

career, he has

worked on the offen-

sive side of the foot-

ball with either quar-

terbacks, wide receivers or tight ends.

He worked one year for the National Football League’s Cleveland

Browns as an area scout. Santiago’s personal playing career

included two years as a cornerback and wide receiver at

Glendale Community College in Arizona followed by two years as

a starting cornerback at Southern Utah. He holds a bachelor’s

degree from Southern Utah with a double major in psychology

and health and secondary education.

November of 2007 as the Cardinals defensive

coordinator.

“I have known Todd for some 14 years now,”

Coach Mike Santiago said. “We were fortu-

nate to be able to pull him away from Tarleton

State. He is very talented with a great football

mind, especially in the areas of defense and

special teams. He is a hard worker and his

organizational skills are just outstanding.”

sive line after spending his first year as the

offensive line coach.

Overall, Ivicic has 15 years coaching experience at the collegiate level.

Austin where Santiago was the head

coach. Ivicic joined the SFA staff in

January of 1999.

Before SFA, Ivicic was the defensive line

and special teams coach at Sam Houston

State from 1995-1998. He was the defen-

sive line coach at Blinn Junior College in

1993-1994 and was a graduate assistant

at SHSU in 1991-1992. He coached

SHSU in the 1991 Division I-AA playoffs

and coached Blinn Junior College in the

Mineral Water Bowl in 1993.

Ivicic played defensive end for the

Bearkats in 1989 and 1990 after transfer-

ring to SHSU from Blinn Junior College.

He was a linebacker at Blinn in 1988 after

playing at Trinity Valley Community

College in 1987 as a defensive back.

A 1986 graduate of Taylor High School in

central Texas, he was a three-time regional qualifier in track and was

named All-Central Texas as a defensive back in 1985. Ivicic was a defen-

sive back and a running back in high school.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from SHSU in 1991 and a

master’s degree in kinesiology from SHSU in 1993.

This is a new but somewhat familiar experi-

ence for Nick George as he is working as a

graduate assistant in the Incarnate Word foot-

ball program.

He is a native of Salt Lake City, Utah, and

played football at Utah State after which he

coached in the high school ranks there. His

wife Katy also is a Utah native. So the move

south is new to them both.

The familiar is the fact that his final year at

Utah State, when he was voted the Big Blue

Club Player of the Year, one of his coaches

was Mike Santiago, now the head coach for

the UIW Cardinals.

In the spring of 2006 George earned his

bachelor’s degree cum laude with a major

in horticulture and landscape design with

a minor in business. Among his honors at

Utah State were two all-conference aca-

demic awards. In 2005 he was a nominee

for the national Bobby Bowden Award pre-

sented by the Fellowship of Christian

Athletes.

At Incarnate Word he will be working for

his master’s in business administration.

After completing his collegiate degree, he

coached two seasons at Judge Memorial

Catholic High School where his teams

reached the state quarterfinals and finals

respectively. He holds memberships in

both the Utah and Texas high school

coaches associations.

He and Katy are the parents of Sutton,

born in the spring of 2009 which makes

him a native Texan.

His retirement lasted just a couple of weeks

before T. R. St. Charles decided he wasn’t

done just yet. That’s when an assistant athletic

trainer’s position opened at Incarnate Word

with an emphasis on football. The job fit, he

applied and now he’s charged primarily with the

health care of Cardinals footballers.

St. Charles is not originally from Texas but he

has spent the last 30-plus years in this state’s

high school ranks. He first worked in San

Antonio at Holmes High School followed by a

stint in Texas City before returning to the area

for jobs at Taft, Clark and finally O’Connor high

schools.

In and around those tours, he has worked such events as the 2008 field

hockey Olympic qualifying tournament, the 2004 Paralympics in Greece

and the 2003 World University Games in South Korea. In this summer of

2009 he was back in Asia with the US junior field hockey team. He has

athletic training experiences in such varied sports as taekwondo, gymnas-

tics, trampoline and tumbling, and auto racing.

He is board certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association and

licensed by the Southwest Athletic Trainers Association. He holds mem-

berships in the Texas State and Alamo Area Athletic Trainers Association

as well as the US Olympic Committee Sports Medicine Society and the

Texas Society of Sports Medicine.

The author of several articles and a regular speaker at conventions, T. R.

earned his bachelor’s degree at Vanderbilt University in history and a

master’s degree in health and physical education at George Peabody

College of Vanderbilt.

T. R. and his wife Teri are the parents of Jeff, Kyle, Taylor and Alexis.

DDEEFFEENNSSIIVVEE BBAACCKKSSJohnny Walker has joined up with the Incarnate Word football coaching

staff in August of 2008 and he brings a world of experiences with him. He

works with the Cardinals defensive backs and he should know what to tell

them as he was highly honored on the other side of the football, as a

receiver.

He is a San Antonio product and was a standout on the Holmes High

School teams of the mid-80s when the Huskies were high-flying with their

wide-open offense. He also played basketball and baseball there.

He played collegiate football at the

University of Texas / Austin where he was

twice All-Southwest Conference and once

third team All-American as a receiver. On

the Longhorns baseball field he was an

all-regional performer and twice was All-

Southwest Conference.

The next level, as a professional, found

him with a double experience. He spent

time with the football Green Bay Packers

and in baseball he was in the Atlanta

Braves organization. When all that was

done he returned to San Antonio and now

has nine years as a high school coach.

His wife is Alejandra and their children are

John III, Savannah and Nadja. His

extended family includes cousin Cliff Johnson, a former big league base-

ball player, and John Walker Sr., a former Chicago Cubs player.

The university of the Incarnate Word is committed to educational excellence

in a context of faith in Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word of God. It promotes

life-long learning and fosters the development of the whole person.

The faculty and students support one another in the search for and the

communication of truth. The university is open to thoughtful innovation that

serves ever more effectively the spiritual and material needs of people.

The curriculum offers students an integrated program of liberal arts and pro-

fessional studies that includes a global perspective and an emphasis on

social justice and community service.

Incarnate Word is a Catholic institution that welcomes to its community per-

sons of diverse backgrounds, in the belief that their respectful interaction

advances the discovery of truth, mutual understanding, self-realization, and

the common good.

The University is located on a 200-acre site, for-

merly the estate of noted San Antonio philanthropist

and businessman Colonel George W.

Brackenridge. His villa, listed on the National

Register of Historic Places, still stands on the cam-

pus. The southern portion of the original

Brackenridge estate joins the University along

Hildebrand Avenue, forming Brackenridge Park.

The headwaters of the San Antonio River begin on

the campus, and have provided fascinating archae-

ological finds related to Native Americans and the

Conquistadors, and to more recent attempts at set-

tlement. The river separates the main campus from

the newly developed recreation and athletic com-

plex.

AATTHHLLEETTIICC FFAACCIILLIITTIIEESS

The athletic complex, dedicated in the fall of 1987,

includes the Clarence Mabry Center of eight tennis

courts (four lighted for night play), three soccer

fields (one lighted for night play), a lighted softball

field, the Dan Sullivan Baseball Field (also lighted

for night play), and a newly refurbished quarter mile

track with the requisite jumping pits and throwing

areas.

The Alice P. McDermott Convocation Center (1988)

is a professionally-sized and fully equipped facility

to accommodate 2,000 spectators at athletic

events. The former varsity gymnasium has been

fully renovated into the University’s Wellness

Center (1991).

In October of 2001 the University dedicated the

sparkling Ann Barshop Natatorium which is

designed to host both national and international

meets.

The Gayle and Tom Benson Fieldhouse is located

on campus and is the site where the Cardinals

kicked off their football history in the fall of 2009.

MMAARRKK PPAAPPIICCHH

AATTHHLLEETTIICC DDIIRREECCTTOORRPrior to the summer of 2001 and becoming head of UIW’s now

19-sport athletic department (synchronized swimming, men’s and

women's swimming, football have been added with his leader-

ship), 51-year-old Mark Papich was involved with the Cardinals

volleyball team as head coach. He

continues as director of the campus

Wellness Center, and the Ann

Barshop Natatorium.

In talking with the New Kensington,

Pa., native, be prepared for the con-

versation to include tidbits about

upgrading athletic facilities, about

usage of those facilities, about

recruiting, camps, the funding of all

teams, about eligibility of athletes,

and on and on and on.

He currently serves as chairman of

the Heartland Conference athletic directors council. He just com-

pleted a three-year term as chairman of the Division II Athletic

Directors Association.

In the spring of 2004, he was a point person is the implementa-

tion of changing the Incarnate Word mascot from Crusaders to

Cardinals, a process which is on-going.

In fact, it was volleyball that brought him to UIW in the fall of

1995 as the team's assistant coach.

In 1996 as the interim coach, Papich saw his Cardinals win 20

matches for the first time in four years. In 1997 and all kinds of

excitement occured as Incarnate Word won a school record 31

matches and tied for the old Heart of Texas Conference title. But

that was only the cake. The team won the NAIA Southwest

Regional tournament and advanced to the national champi-

onships for the first time ever.

Following that season, the American Volleyball Coaches

Association named Papich the Tachikara Region Coach of the

Year. That honor from his fellow coaches came on top of his

being named NAIA Southwest Region Coach of the Year as well

as the Heart of Texas Conference Coach of the Year. That made

him the most decorated Cardinals volleyball coach ever for a

year.

His cumulative mark at Incarnate Word is 124-124 which makes

him the winningest volleyball coach ever at UIW.

A member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association,

Papich holds a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial design

from the University of Cincinnati. While an undergraduate he

played baseball and lacrosse.

TTHHEE CCIITTYYSan Antonio offers a rich mixture of cultural heritages--notably Mexican, German

and French--with traditional Texan, making the city truly a place to find global

foods, music, and influences.

The University of the Incarnate Word is located in the Alamo Heights area of

San Antonio--an area replete with artisans, studios, specialty shops, cafes and

coffeehouses. Within easy

walking distance are the

Witte Museum, the San

Antonio Zoo, Brackenridge

Park, Sunken Garden

Theater, and the San

Antonio Botanical Gardens.

San Antonio is the "Fiesta

City" and is the nation's sev-

enth largest city with more

than 1.2 million population.

It features an international

reputation for beauty and

excitement--the Alamo, Paseo del Rio (Riverwalk, the number one tourist desti-

nation in the state), historic missions, Market Square, Institute of Texas

Cultures, Sea World of Texas and Six Flags Fiesta Texas are among the city's

best known attractions.

The Alamo City is home to the South Texas Medical Center with its vast and

varied medical, scientific and research facilities including medical, dental and

nursing schools. The city also lays claim to one of the most extensive library

systems in the Southwest.

San Antonio hosts five military bases, numerous cultural and civic groups, a

symphony orchestra, the three-times-champion NBA Spurs, the three-time

champion Texas League Missions baseball team, the Rampaige ice hockey

team, the WNBA's Silver Stars, major concerts, festivals and celebrations. The

Alamodome is the site for the annual Alamo Bowl, a major football game played

during the Christmas-New Year's celebrations.

San Antonio has become the host city of choice for major athletic events.

Already, the Alamo City has hosted one

NCAA men's Final Four and one NCAA

women's Final Four. And, the NCAA

will return its premier basketball event

for the men in 2008 and the women in

2010. The Alamodome has hosted four

NCAA men's regional basketball tour-

naments, and a women's volleyball

national championship tournament was

in town in 2005. San Antonio was a

finalist to host the Pan American

Games in 2007.

The Incarnate Word campus is located

just 10 minutes from San Antonio's

International Airport and just 10 minutes

from downtown, both easily accessible

by freeway. San Antonio itself is a one

hour drive time from the magnificent

Texas Hill Country, just two hours from

the United States-Mexico border, and

two hours from the Texas Gulf Coast.
