2001 MemphisA 2001 Preview With Head Coach Carrie Yerty

Q. With five seniors returning this sea-son, talk about the experience that youreturn this year and how you see thatstarting this season out as comparedto the last 2 years when you've hadsuch young squads.A. This biggest difference between thisyear and the last two years is the con-fidence that these seniors will bringwhen they come in. We've come offa really good spring season where wewon our last 10 matches in a row andwe beat great teams like LSU, Missis-sippi State and Ole Miss. For our girlsto end their spring that way, I thinkyou'll see confidence, and maturity,and that's exciting for us. I also thinkbecause they're so confident and soin control of what they're doing thatit also brings the level of play up forthose around them. They're able tofocus more on team than what theyare personally doing.

Q. You will have three setters on thisyear's roster, what will that do to theline-up and could Amie Hamilton alsosee some time as a DS this year aftersetting last year?A. With two senior setters comingback, I'd like them to be able to con-tribute from day one. Amie Hamiltonis an extraordinary athlete who couldbe one of the best setters in our con-ference, as well as one of the best de-fensive specialists in the conference.She will contribute probably in both ofthose positions, depending on whatkind of shape Angle comes in with andif she's ready to play. It also dependson if our freshman, Heather Watts, cancome in and earn a starting positionand run the offense. Ideally I'd like touse Angie in the same capacity that Iused her last year in terms of a bigblacker for the right side. I'd like to seeAmie Hamilton as the defensive playerof the year in our conference, but Ithink in order for anybody to come inand beat Amie Hamilton out at set-

Page 4

ter, they're going to have to be ingreat shape, they're going to haveto have extraordinary leadership skillsand they're going to have to beready to run a quick offense. Amie,however, is ready to do whatever ittakes to make this team as good asit can be and she is committed tosetting and she is committed to be-ing a defensive specialist, and onlytime will tell which one she will be.We can see her doing either/or.

Q. Last year you had returning play-ers, but quite a few were playing outof position. With three incomingmiddles, will Brittany Barnett moveback to the outside and talk a bitabout the type of year Brittany hadlast year.A. Brittany will definitely play outsidehitter. She will be a starting outsidehitter playing opposite veteran Gin-ger Garrett. She did a fantastic jobin the spring; there were matcheswhere she was absolutely unstop-pable. She is a very gifted hitter, she'sgot great shots, she's aggressive andshe's learning to see her blocks bet-ter and mix up her shots. She is anextraordinary ball control player, so I

definitely see her again playing inserve-receive as well; she has greatreading skills defensively. Brittany's daysin the middle position are certainlyover and in terms of last year, she wasthrown to the wolves in the middle.She had never been a middle blackerbefore, we asked her to sacrifice forher team, she came in there andwholeheartedly did the very best jobshe could, and because of her efforts,and because of the people aroundher, she was able to become an all-freshman player for Conference USA,I'm very pleased with her progress.Look for Brittany to be a very powerfuloutside hitter this year.

Q. Emily Eichmann really emergedlast year, winning the team's Most Im-proved Player award, and leading theteam in service aces. How importantis it for her to continue to excel andwhat are some general commentsabout the year she had last year.A. Last year was a HUGE year for EmilyEichmann. She went from limited play-ing time to role-playing time to astarter and all-around player for us. Shedefinitely has the ability to dominateon the right side. Last year, she reallyemerged with her attacking andblocking skills, she also has a very niceserve, and so that 's also a niceweapon for us. General commentsabout last year, I think Emily went froma timid volleyball player hoping to dowell to an aggressive volleyball playerthat expected excellence in what shedid. It's important for her to continuewhere she left off, because in Confer-ence USA, the right side is generally aweakness for the majority of our team:and if you have a good right side at-tack, it can put you at an advantageoffensively. In terms of defensivelyshe's a 6-2 blocker that touches aboul9-10 or 9-11, which is a big block onthat right side as well. I would definitelyexpect her to continue to progress andshe needs to be a leader on our teamShe's really emerged in her leadership

Tiger Volleyball role, she's dedicated to demonstrat-ing, to verbalizing, to physically put-ting whatever it takes into practiceand match play and to lead by ex-ample and I definitely expect her tohave a great year this year. She'sready, she's worked hard and she'scommitted.

Q. Having Ginger Garrett, a two-time assistant captain, and AmieHamilton (an asst. captain last year)back, what type of things do youexpect from both of them and yourlargest-ever senior class?A. I have really high expectations interms of my senior class for leader-ship and for confidence. These kidshave been in this program for along time, they've got experienceand I think they really understandour system. I definitely expect allmy upperclassmen, includingBrittany, to take charge ofwhat happens on the court, as wellas off the court, and really dedicatethemselves to having the kind ofseason and style of team that theywant. We've got a lot of experiencecoming back and I think that thesekids are just ready to take that nextleap forward.

Q. Your two returning sophomoreseach saw a lot of action last year.Talk about any possible changesthey will see this year and how im-portant it is for them to play as muchas they did last year.A. Brittany will move from ourteam's best blocker to one of ourteam's most powerful offensiveweapons on the outside. She will beasked to continue to be a primarypasser as well as be one of our topthree defenders. Sheila Neba, whohad an extraordinary spring season,has greatly improved. I would ex-pect her to challenge for a startingposition and dominate on our at-tack and help speed up our attack.Sheila is a mature young lady whohas really worked to improve overthe spring, as well as the summer,and I would expect Sheila to be

much improved and come in and bevery steady for us in the middle.

Q. You lost April Harriman this seasonafter she stepped up in a huge waylast year. You also lost Laura Stokeafter she suffered a career-endingknee injury. Who fills those voids inthis year's line-up for you?

A. Idon'tthink thatyou'll ever fill avoid from somebodywho has brought something extra-spe-cial to your program. April's fire andLaura's athleticism were incredible.Laura's heart and her desire to pleasewere also amazing. I would certainlyexpect Brittany, Ginger and Adrianneto come in and challenge for thoseattempts that April had. I would ex-pect Brittany and Ginger to bebangers for us. I would definitely ex-pect Adrianne to continue her ball-control presence as a defensive spe-cialist, and to challenge on the out-side or the right side as Emily's backup. After losing Laura, we brought inTulsa transfer Brooke Chrisman. I expecther to come in and not skip a beat.She's a very talented athlete who isexcited to come back and play. She isexcited to be a Tiger; she's been hereover the summer to prepare for the up-coming season. I would definitely ex-pect her to come in and fill that void.I look to Sheila to contribute in the

middle, as well as Tiara Gilkey andRachel Aldous.

Q. You have nine first-time oppo-nents on this year's schedule. Talk abit about your scheduling philoso-phy for this season and then talkabout the changes in conferenceplay (playing Saint Louis twice a sea-son now and adding ECU and TCU).A. We're excited about playing newopponents. It's always an opportu-nity for your team to compare toother conferences and to go up

against teams that have been topsin their conference. In terms of

SLU, I think it'll be exciting.We haven't played Saint

Louis as tough as we shouldin the past, and I think our

team is looking forward to play-ing them at home and playing

them back-to-back. ECU and TCUare definitely great additions to Con-ference USA. TCU has a tradition ofbeing a great volleyball program. Ithink it was certainly a nice additionin terms of strength of our confer-ence. ECU has an energetic, youngand fiery coach there and I think thatshe will also raise the level of our con-ference play and I'm looking forwardto a new challenge.

Q. Any other comments you want toadd?A. I'm excited about this season. It ismy pleasure to have the opportunityto coach this team and I can't reallygive a win-loss or guess about wherewe'll place in our conference, but Ican say that this will be one of thebest years that I've had with Mem-phis in terms of player personnel andcoaching staff, and I'm really look-ing forward to it. I think these indi-viduals, from staff, managers, train-ers, they have really worked hard andI think now is a good opportunity forus to feed off our hard work and dedi-cation. I know that Fiona has defi-nitely come into her role and I'm ex-cited to have her back again.

MemphisH e a dC o a c hC a r r i eYerty starts

her sixth season at the helm of theTiger volleyball team with a rosterfeaturing five seniors and a return-ing crop of underclassmen who gar-nered some significant playing timein 2000.

Yerty began her Tiger career onJuly 15, 1996, when she was hiredto replace former head coach PennyLucas-White less than two monthsfrom the start of the season. She in-herited a squad that finished 13-20the previous year. That squad fea-tured just five returning players andfinished 6-29 overall and 1 -13 in Con-ference USA. Yerty did not let that oneseason spoil her dreams of develop-ing and guiding a Division I programinto a national powerhouse. She hitthe recruiting trails and her hard workand tireless efforts are beginning tocome to light.

In her second season at the helmof a young Tiger Volleyball program,Yerty made one of the biggest turn-arounds in the program's history.Never had a Tiger squad won lessthan 10 matches one year and fin-ished well above .500 the next. Yertydid it. She guided the 1997 Tigers toa 19-14 overall record, including aschool-best 7-0 start. Not included inthe overall record that season was avictory over the Australian NationalTeam at the Montana State tourna-ment. She also made a huge jumpin the conference rankings with a 6-10 record that year. The Tigers werenow gaining respect from their C-USA foes. After finishing dead last inthe league in 1996, the Tigers im-proved to a fourth-place showing in

the National Division the following sea-son. Yerty's Tigers also made strides inthe C-USA post-season tournament,winning their first-round meeting withUAB and advancing to the secondround where they dropped a 3-1 deci-sion to top-seeded and eventual NCAAparticipant Houston.

That would not be the last time thatMemphis put up a fight with the Cougars.In 1998, Yerty led her troops to their firstwin in school history over the Univer-sity of Houston and for the secondstraight season, Memphis advanced tothe second round of the C-USA Tour-nament. Yerty's Tigers finished the sea-son with an 18-14 overall record and a6-10 record in conference. It was thefirst time since 1994 that a Tiger Volley-ball team had recorded back-to-backwinning records.

The 2000 season began with a roughstart when freshman Laura Stokereinjured her knee during the preseasoncamp. The loss of one of just three middlehitters on the roster meant thatYerty and her coaching staff hadto revamp the Tiger line-up, mov-ing Brittany Barnett from theoutside to the middle.The movemeant that the Tigers had twofreshmen playing in the middle,along with junior SarahWengler, who was only in hersecond collegiate season ofvolleyball.

Other changes in the Tigerline-up also made 2000 an up-and-down season. AmieHamilton, who was named Con-ference USA's Defensive Playerof the Year as a freshman,moved from the passing gameto setter, spending the springpractice season learning a newposition.

The graduation of Rosie

Glenn also meant the Tigers needed to findanother go-to hitter for the 2000 campaign.Another roster move put a third Tiger in anew spot, when senior April Harrimanmoved from opposite side to outside hit-ter.

The three moves kept the coachingstaff busy, helping the newcomers to theteam adjust to the college game, whilehelping veteran players learn new positions.But even with all the moves, the Tigers werefiring on all cylinders at the end of the sea-son, winning six of their last eight matchesbefore falling to Tulane in the ConferenceUSA tournament in Charlotte, N.C.

A strong believer in the total welfare ofthe student-athlete, Yerty continues tostress academic excellence as well as ath-letic achievement. This resulted in theschool's third-ever Academic All-Americanwhen Harriman earned second-team hon-ors. A total of six Tigers were also namedto the Tiger Academic 30 for having one ofthe highest 30 GPAs in all of Tiger athlet-ics.

Tiger Volleyball Prior to becoming the Tigers' head coach, Yerty was anassistant at the University of Arizona during the 1995 seasonwhere, among her on-court coaching duties, she also servedas the recruiting coordinator. In fact, one of her recruitingclasses at the University of Arizona ranked in the top five in thenation by recruiting magazines. On the court, she workedclosely with the squad's middle blockers as she helped leadthe Wildcats to a 14-14 overall record. She also supervisedthe academic study tables and assisted with scheduling andtravel as well as working closely with camps and clinics.

Yerty broke into the collegiate coaching ranks in 1992 whenshe accepted an assistant coaching position at Eastern Wash-ington in Cheney, Wash.

Two years later, Yerty founded andcoached the New Balance Volleyball Club team in Spokane,Wash., for girls 16 and under. She directed that squad from1993-95, and then served as the head coach for one year ofthe Club Cactus Juniors Volleyball Club in Tucson, Ariz., forthe 18-Elite age group.

A seasoned club team coach, Yerty was selected as a rep-•esentative on the Junior Olympic National Team selection com-mittee where she evaluated and selected players for the elitesquad at the Southern California tryout.

Yerty has wasted no time in getting involved in the com-munity since her arrival at The U of M. Yerty is currently on theBoard of Directors for the Memphis Junior Volleyball Club Pro-gram, and has held numerous free clinics and camps for churchgroups and elementary schools. She was also instrumental in3ringing the USA and Russian Volleyball teams to the Elmatoane Fieldhouse for a widely-attended exhibition match in1998.

Tiger Volleyball2000 Year in Review

After finishing 11-22 during the 1999 campaign,the University of Memphis came in to the 2000 cam-paign with another young team featuring just onesenior. But the coaching staff was optimistic thatthe quality of the newcomers to the Memphis rosterwould help Memphis improve on its previousseason's performance.

That optimism took a hit when freshman LauraStoke reinjured a knee that had been surgically re-paired the summer before she came to Memphis.With the loss of Stoke, Memphis had just two middlehitters on the roster, one of them being fellow fresh-man Sheila Neba. So the Tiger line-up was juggledbefore Memphis had even stepped on the floor.Freshman Brittany Barnett was moved from an out-side hitter to the middle.

Also moving out of position was the team's onesenior, April Harriman. Harriman, who had been aright-side hitter her first three years, was moved tooutside hitter in order to get her more attacks. Thesenior responded in a dominating style, downing 494kills, the fifth-highest single season total in schoolhistory.

Another big change was one the Tigers had thank-fully been preparing for since spring ball when AmieHamilton moved from defensive specialist to setter.The change impacted the Tigers in more ways thanjust the offense, as Hamilton had been the league'sDefensive Player of the Year as a freshman andwas no longer one of the Tigers' primary passers inthe serve-receive.

The season began at the Bradley University tour-nament. The Tigers had a favorable opening, easilydowning Wisconsin-Green Bay, 3-0. Junior GingerGarrett, performing in front of her hometown crowd,downed 19 kills and hit .340 in the win. Sheila Nebaalso downed nine kills on 17 swings. Her nine killsturned out to be a individual season-high for the 2000campaign.

The Tigers were not so fortunate on the secondday of the tournament in the non-air conditionedBradley Fieldhouse. Memphis fell to Bradley, 3-0,despite a 16-14 game one loss, and then fell 3-0 toToledo. Harriman was Memphis' lone all-tournamenthonoree after coming back to finish the tournamentwith 47 kills and needing to be treated for dehydra-tion following the Toledo match.

Next up for the Tigers was a trip to Charleston,South Carolina, to compete in the College ofCharleston tournament. Despite the bus not beingat the athletic office building and late flights due toweather, the entire team and staff finally regroupedin Charleston. The Tigers did not drop a game enroute the tournament championship, defeating Mer-cer, South Carolina State and College of Charles-ton, 3-0. Harriman was named tournament MVP andGarrett and Hamilton were named to the all-tourna-ment team.

A somewhat fatigued Memphis team boarded abus and headed for Knoxville to face the Vols ontheir home court. The Tigers never broke double-digit points in a 3-0 loss.

After seven matches on the road, it was time toreturn to the friendly confines of the Elma RoaneFieldhouse for the University of Memphis/GraphicSystems Invitational. After falling 3-0 to MississippiState and 3-1 to Syracuse, Memphis was left won-dering how friendly their home confines really were.

But the Tigers recovered for the second day of thetournament, downing Nicholls State, 3-0, before fall-ing to Ole Miss, 3-1. Harriman and middle hitter Sa-rah Wengler were both named to the all-tournamentteam.

With a 5-6 overall record, Memphis opened itsconference schedule with Marquette. The GoldenEagles came out to win games one and two, 15-10and 15-2, before Memphis rebounded with wins ingame three and four, 15-12, and 15-7, to even thematch at 2-2. But Marquette hit .320 in the final gameto sneak out of Memphis with their first conferencewin of the season, 3-2.

And in C-USA tradition, after facing Marquettecomes DePaul. The going was not going to get anyeasier for Memphis any time soon. An experiencedBlue Demon line-up attacked, but it was Memphiswalking away with the first game, 15-13. But theBlue Demons hit .364 in game two, to Memphis' .118to sway the advantage toward DePaul, eventuallywalking out of the fieldhouse with a 3-1 win.

Now at 5-8, it was again time to head back out onthe road for a trip to the Gulf Coast. The Tigersbegan at South Alabama where they faced a teamthat had a make-up similar to the Tigers. Harrimanhad carried Memphis in most of the games to date,but Barnett was getting comfortable in the middle,posting her second consecutive double-digit killsgame with 11 in an exciting 3-2 win over USA.

But there was no time to celebrate snapping athree-game losing streak, as the Tigers bused to NewOrleans to face Tulane the following day. The BigEasy was not so easy for a team that rolled intotown at 2 a.m. that morning, with Memphis falling15-7 in game one. But Memphis' defense camearound first, backstopping the Tigers to a 15-11 gametwo win. Memphis also picked up some energy, andfans, when the Lady Tiger soccer team stopped byFogelman Arena. The soccer team had faced Tulaneearlier that afternoon and helped the Tigers rally backfrom 5-10 down to tie game three at 13-13, but twoTiger attack errors gave Tulane a 15-13 game threewin and enough momentum to take game four, 15-3. While Memphis lost the game, the Tigers receivedword that they did win one thing at Tulane. Middlehitter Tiara Gilkey, from Creve Couer, Mo., verballycommitted to the Tigers over Tulane, passing up herofficial visit to New Orleans because she had alreadydecided to commit to Memphis.

It was back on the bus and off to Hattiesburg,Miss., to face Southern Miss following a much-needed day off. The Tiger football team also rolledinto Hattiesburg the same weekend, and Memphisgot to go bask in the sun and cheer on the Tigersfootball team on a nationally-televised game beforefacing USM, Sunday. In what was probably Mem-phis' tighest game of the season, some calls andBarnett's ankle sprain in game four combined to betoo much for Memphis to overcome, limping out ofHattiesburg with a 3-2 loss.

Finally returning home at 6-10 after three matchesin four days, Memphis' schedule was not getting anyeasier with home matches against Houston andSouth Florida scheduled for the upcoming weekend.Memphis dropped both matches 3-0 and was stillwinless in conference play when they boarded aplane for Louisville, Ky. Memphis lost games oneand two in Louisville, but came out determined ingame three, going up 12-7 before Louisville changedsetters and resumed attacking the back corners ofthe Tiger defense to win game three, 16-14.

It was another evening on board the bus to pon-der a loss en route the next day's match, whichfeatured C-USA defending champion, Cincinnati.

Head Coach Carrie Yerty moved AdrianneEdmonds to a front-row attacker and junior EmilyEichmann surprised the Bearcats' on the right side,but Memphis could not get any other offense go-ing, falling 3-0, and failing to hit double-digits in anyof the games for just the third time of the season.

It was with a sigh of relief that Memphis boardedanother bus, this one headed for a non-conferenceopponent for a change. Not that Murray State andits fans were not a force to be dealt with, but Mem-phis gritted out a much-needed 3-1 win to snap asix-match losing streak.

Unfortunately, a new streak began back at theFieldhouse with a 3-1 loss to Charlotte. That streakgrew to two matches with a 3-0 loss at Saint Louis.

At 6-16, a non-conference match against MiddleTennessee State was looming large. The resultingtwo hour and 45 minute match featured lots of block-ing and sporadic offense. MTSU won game onedespite hitting just .135. Memphis rebounded, win-ning games two and three before MTSU won gamefour, 15-13, to force a game five. The MTSU gamewas Edmonds' first start at front row. The juniorcollege transfer made her presence felt in gamefour and helped Memphis close out its seventh winof the year, 3-2.

Despite losing at Houston and South Florida, 3-0 and 3-1, respectively, the Tigers were starting togel. And the result was a 5-1 run through their lastsix matches, which featured 3-0 wins over Jack-sonville State and UAB and a 3-1 win at UAB. Mem-phis also weathered a 3-2 win over cross-town ri-val Christian Brothers University in what was prob-ably one of the top two matches played in theFieldhouse in 2000.

Memphis closed its regular season againstTulane, with a 3-1 win. Harriman, one of threehonorees for the final home game, tallied 27 kills onsenior night. Her 25th kill of the night was a mile-stone that put her over 1,000 for her career.

But the season also ended against the sameTulaneteam. At the conference tournament in Char-lotte, North Carolina, the Tigers rallied back from a15-4 game one loss to win game two, 15-9, butgames three and four were all Tulane, with a pair of15-5 Tiger losses.

Explaining the Rule Change in College VolleyballThere have been some rule changes that will affect the

college volleyball game today. Unlike past years whereyou could only score a point on the serve in games onethrough four, the college game will now be all-rally-scoringall the time.

A second change will be that games one through fourwill also go to 30 points, and the winner must win by atleast two points.

Game five will still be played rally-scoring to 15 pointsas it has been in the past.

Other new rules have been implemented on the serve.Players will have eight seconds from the moment the ref-eree authorizes service and will not be allowed a secondtoss for service. The college game will also mimic theinternational game with the let serve. A served ball willremain in play if it hits the net and continues to the

opposition's court. A service ace can be earned if the ball falls tothe opposition's side of the court on the serve, despite contactwith the net on service.

There is also an experimental rule that coaches may or may notimplement for the match called the international pursuit rule. Therule allows for a player to retrieve a ball (on second contact) thathas crossed the plane of the net to the opponent's free space,provided that player does not touch the opponent's court and sendsthe ball back to their court, over or outside the antennas, for anopportunity for a third contact. The referees will decide prior to thematch if the facility is safe for this type of play.

These rules were all implemented beginning in 2001 and werereleased by the National Association for Girls and Women inSports, the official rules-making body for women's collegiate vol-leyball.

The University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the GeneralEducation Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known origi-nally as West Tennessee Normal School, the institution opened its doorsSept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president.

Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the Tigeras the mascot. (Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during theCivil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after thatdivisive conflict.)

Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was openedin the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men's dorm wasbuilt; today that dorm, Scales Hall, houses the academic counseling offices.

In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College.Three years later, the Brister Library was built, named after two-term president John W.Brister, In 1931 the students created a campus newspaper, The Tiger Rag; and in 1935the school's agriculture department was discontinued.

The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in1946 the first alumnus was named president, ]. Millard "Jack" Smith. In 1950 graduatestudies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to a semestersystem.

In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In 1959the university admitted its first black students, and the first doctoral programs began in1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructedacross the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSUbecame the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curricu-lum.

The 1990s were characterized by another name change and another building boom.In 1994 MSU became The University of Memphis, and the Ned R. McWherter Librarywas completed.

MEMPHConsidered the Home of the Blues

and the Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll,the city of Memphis' musical roots

run deep. However, music is just a chap-ter in the history as well as the future ofthe city located in the heart of Mid-America.

Memphis, named after the capital of an-cient Egypt, boasts all the amenities youwould expect in a city with over 1,000,000residents while retaining the charm anddown-to-earth feel of a small town.

Downtown Memphis is in the midst ofa building boom valued at $2.3 billionwhich is transforming the heart of the city.One of the most visible projects has beenthe construction of AutoZone Park, thedowntown ballpark which is the home ofthe Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Car-dinals' Triple-A club. The new 14,320-seatstadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48luxury suites and is located at the comerof Third Street and Union Avenue acrossfrom the world-famous Peabody Hotel.

Downtown is served by the Main StreetTrolley. The trolley system, which firstopened in April of 1993. currently con-sists of the Main Street Line which passesnear such Memphis landmarks as BealeStreet, the Pinch District, Court Square andthe National Civil Rights Museum. TheRiverfront Loop includes a station in frontof The Pyramid and offers riders a uniquevista of the Mississippi River.

Memphis musical roots can be tracedto band leader W.C. Handy who wrote thefirst blues song here in 1909, a campaigntheme for Memphis mayor "Boss" Crumpcalled "Boss Crump Blues" and later pub-lished as "The Memphis Blues." Thesound soon caught on and blues bandsfilled the clubs along Beale. Young musi-cians who performed along Beale includedMuddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King,Bobby "Blue" Bland, and B.B. King.

Where Beale Street meets the Missis-sippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of theannual Beale Street Music Festival. Theweekend-long musical festival is just apartof the month-long Memphis in May Inter-national Festival which also includes theWorld Championship Barbecue CookingContest and the Sunset Symphony.

Located just off Beale Street is thePeabody Place Retail and EntertainmentCenter which is slated to open late thisyear. The 300,000 square foot retail com-plex will feature a 21-screen movie the-

ater and 3D IMAX as well as severaltheme restaurants.

Also located within a blockof Beale Street is Gibson Gui-tar Memphis which includesfactory tours and cultural ex-hibits. Also on the same prop-erty is the Smithsonian's Rock'n' Soul Museum which in-cludes artifacts documentingmusic's past.

Memphis' musical rootsalso includes Stax and Hi-Records as well as SunRecords recording studios.Stax became known for"sweet soul music" throughsuch artists as the MarKeys,Booker T. and the MGs, OtisRedding, Wilson Pickett, Samand Dave and Isaac Hayes. Oneof Hi-Records premier artistswas Al Green. Sun Records'most famous recording artistwas Elvis Presley and alsoboasted Jerry Lee Lewis, CarlPickens and Johnny Cashamong its recording artists.

Elvis Presley's Graceland isone of the five most visitedhome tours in America and isthe most famous home inAmerica after the White House.In 1991, Graceland was placed on theNational Register of Historic Places.Over 600,000 visitors tour Gracelandeach year.

Also located downtown is the re-furbished Orpheum Theater whichserves as a venue for performances byBallet Memphis, the Memphis Sym-phony Orchestra and travelingbroadway shows as well as the OrpheumClassic Movies series and other con-certs.

The city's location makes Memphisa major distribution hub with two inter-state highways intersecting in the city.Memphis is also home of FedEx, thenation's largest package earner whichmakes Memphis International Airportthe world's busiest cargo airport in theworld. Over 500 commercial passengerflights originate from Memphis Interna-tional each day. Memphis is also a twicedaily stop by Amtrak's City of New Or-leans which runs from Chicago to NewOrleans.

who has worked for29 years in athleticadministration and

served as athletic director at Temple Uni-versity, was named the Director of Ath-letics at The University of Memphis onDecember 29, 1995.

"Clearly, R.C. Johnson is one of thepremier athletic directors in the country,"said former U of M President Dr. V. LaneRawlins. "We were seeking an individualwith people skills, as well as a deep car-ing about student-athletes and their fu-tures.

During the spring of 1999, Johnsonnegotiated one of the richest radio broad-cast package in Tiger athletic history withWMC-AM 79 in Memphis. The three-year agreement calls for WMC to paythe University approximately $1.2 millionfor football and men's basketball rights.

Johnson was hired at Temple afternearly six years as director of athleticsat Miami (Ohio) University. During histenure at Miami University, Johnson wasresponsible for numerous programs thatenhanced the stature and image of theOhio institution.

A strong believer in a quality edu-cation for student-athletes, Johnsonemphasized academic integrity andexcellence during his time at Mi-ami University. At the time he de-parted for Temple, Miami Uni-versity had 15 student-athleteswith a perfect 4.0 GPA, 62 stu-dent-athletes with a 3.50 orbetter GPA and 191 student-athletes with a 3.00 GPA orbetter.

Before becoming ath-letic director at Miami Uni-versity, Johnson was athleticdirector at Eastern Illinoisfrom 1980-88. He was theassociate athletic director atNorthern Iowa from 1974 to1980.

& ConditioningThe Tiger Strength and Condition-

ing facility located next to the newly re-modeled indoor turf room in the southcampus' Billy J. Murphy Athletic Com-plex, opened in January 1993 andserves each of the University's intercol-legiate sports programs.

The 7,000-square foot varsityweightroom is equipped with rugged,versatile hardware such that groups ofup to 70 student-athletes can train con-currently with optimal effectiveness andefficiency.

Workouts are designed and super-vised by one of the Strength and Con-ditioning staff's certified specialists, andeach student-athlete's individualprogress is projected via computerizeddatabase. The Tiger Power philosophycouples functional, mulit-joint move-ments with fundamental principles: ex-ercise techniques are simplified andperformed on an alternating heavy/ex-plosive basis in order to maximize train-ing effects while minimizing teachingand training time (as well as fatique).Performance based fitness and workquality are the bottom line objectives.

The weightroom's equipment up-grade plan reflects this philosophy andincludes: 10 self-contained Olympic plat-forms and power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumb-bell line; and a variety of hip sleds,gluteham stations, cable stations andother supplemental pieces allowing stu-dent-athletes to perform an unlimitedvariety of exercises and movements.The modern and spacious facility is alsoequipped with dressing/restrooms; isnaturally illuminated; and is maintainedat a constant 70-74 degrees.

In planning the long range TigerPower programs, student-athletes areassigned to respective developmentallevels based on individual ability andtraining history. For example, newcom-ers begin with an extensive volume of"foundational" or generalized move-ments; and progress toward more inten-sive and specialized exercises witheach successive phase.

The actual workout menu may re-main fairly constant over a student-athlete's four or five year sport career,however broad variations in workloadcombine the program's simplicity witha measure of sophistication.

Traditions

WHY TIGERS?When the University of Memphis first fielded

a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had se-lected a nickname for the squad.

Early references to the football team, tabbedthem only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of WestTennessee Normal School.

After the final game of the 1914 season, therewas a student parade. During this event, severalNormal students shouted, "We fight like Tigers".The nickname was born.

I More and more the nickname "Tigers" was; used, particularly in campus publications. But itj did not catch on with the newspapers downtown.I They continued to use "Normals" or the "Blue andI Gray" when referring to the University.! Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922,: Normal's football team gave a ring of truth to that; old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted amotto - "Every Man A Tiger" and went on to score174 points while allowing their opponents just 29points.

In the late 1920s, student publications anddowntown newspapers began referring to the foot-

; ball team as the "Teachers" or "Tutors". The Tigernickname would return. But not until 1939 was it

! finally adopted as the official nickname for the Uni-versity of Memphis.

A BENGAL FOR AMASCOT

! For almost 30 years, the sideline mascot for; the University of Memphis athletics has been theI Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mas-cot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger foot-ball games, as well as numerous basketball games.TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soc-cer and women's basketball games.

: The first tiger, purchased by the HighlandHundred (football booster group) in 1972, livedfor 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo.TOM died in February of 1992.

The story of how the first Tiger cub arrivedin Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9,1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel inMichigan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'HareInternational Airport. There it was placed aboarda Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM.C. Cleveland Drennon, an attorney and presidentof the Highland Hundred, approved a check for$1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken toathletic director Billy Murphy's office for a pressconference.

In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Sta-dium, the Highland Hundred officially presentedTOM to the University on November 11, 1972.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daugh-ter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Mem-phis, however, a contest was held to name themascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a com-mittee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ranfrom Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan,Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and

Shiloh to Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Ten-nessee.

Finally, the judges reduced the list to two:Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOMwon.

During his first few months in Memphis,Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, whichwas redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOMwas guarded by Proctor's hound dog.

TOM II came to the University of Mem-phis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his newhome at Nixon Farms in Collierville, Tenn. Hisnew home is 3500 square feet and includes twopools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned denbox and has seperately, a complete medical fa-cility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger isnearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as largeor larger than his predecessor, TOM, who wasonce the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550pounds. There is even a birthday party for TOMII prior to each football season.
