Fresh Start

After a disappointing 3-1 loss in the semi-finals of the Conference USA Championship last season, the University of Memphis softball team will look for a fresh start in 2011. The Tigers return eight position starters from 2010, 16 letterwinners and a young crop of talented newcomers give the squad confidence heading into the upcoming season. Memphis returns three of four pitchers from a season ago, headlined by C-USA All-Fresh-man Team selection Carly Hummel. After post-ing seven single-season pitching records as a staff last season, head coach Windy Thees expects similar results from the pitching staff this season. Memphis will field an experienced squad this season with seven seniors on the roster. Six newcomers will join the mix for Tiger Softball in 2011.

Experienced Infield

Memphis returns three players in its infield with significant starting experience, includ-ing senior shortstop Heather Mott. Mott will be looked to carry the Tigers offensively and defensively. Junior first baseman Jessica Phil-lips and junior second baseman Alyssa Palmieri also return for 2011. Freshman Ijiah Hargrove will battle for time at third base and freshmen Amber Lindahl (C/3B) and Libby Goranson (1B) will also chal-lenge for playing time in the infield. Freshman pitcher Ellen Roberts could also see time at first base.

Head Coach Windy Thees begins her sixth season at the helm in 2011.

Sophomore Carly Hummel led the team with a 1.74 ERA in 2010 and finished the year 15-10 with 210 K’s.

Pitching on the Rise

Carly Hummel led the Tiger pitching staff in 2010 with 210 strikeouts and a 1.74 ERA and in 2011, Hummel and the Tiger pitching staff will look to carry Memphis into the NCAA Soft-ball Championship for the first time in program history. Joined by Lauren Carley and Janelle Valle, freshman Ellen Roberts will join a Tiger pitching staff that posted seven single-season school records last year.

A Challenging Schedule

The Tigers will play 13 teams in 2011 who competed in the 2010 NCAA Softball Champi-onship. Tournament teams on the schedule are DePaul, Ohio State, FIU, Kentucky, Lipscomb, Stanford, North Dakota State, UC-Davis, Texas A&M, East Carolina, UAB, UCF, and Missis-sippi Valley State. Memphis will play in four tournaments: the FIU Combat Classic in Miami, Fla., the Panther Invitational in Atlanta, Ga., the Stanford Nike Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., and the Bulldog Classic in Starkville, Miss.

A Rock Behind the Plate

The Tigers return three catchers from last season, seniors Keanah Prestridge and Kailey Kassner, and junior Nikki Moreno. The trio is joined by freshmen Ashley Ford and Amber Lindahl on the depth chart. Prestridge saw the bulk of the innings behind the plate in 2010 and threw out a school-record 17 opponents attempting to steal.

Outfield Ready to Shine

Memphis returns three letterwinners to the outfield in senior Alex Marshall, junior Lelani Bernardino and redshirt sophomore Kamri Chester . Maddie McKinley moves to right field in 2011 and is expected to start. Also compet-ing for playing time in 2011 will be freshman Ashleigh King.

Junior Lelani Bernardino returns to lead the outfield after batting .294 with 12 RBI’s in 2010.

Lauren Carley picked up the victory and helped shutout UCF in the C-USA opener in 2009. Carley and Vanessa Walle combined for the 1-0 shutout over the 2010 NCAA Tournament team.

Senior Keanah Prestridge returns to anchor the Tigers behind the plate.

Senior Heather Mott returns for her final season, looking to carry the load offensively and defensively for the infielders.

2011 Softball Fact BookUniversity of Memphis

Hired with the daunting task of start-ing a softball program from scratch, Uni-versity of Memphis head coach Windy Thees has stepped up to the challenge. In just five seasons, Thees has built the Tigers into a program that has continued to show it can compete with any team in the country. Now entering her sixth season in 2011, Memphis looks to continue its growth with a squad that returns eight starters, three pitchers and 16 letterwin-ners. Six newcomers join Tiger Softball for Coach Thees’ sixth season. In the short five-year history of the Memphis softball program, Thees has compiled a 136-137 (.498) overall re-cord and guided the team to the Confer-ence USA Championship Tournament in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Tigers finished seventh in C-USA in 2010 with a 25-26 overall record and 8-15 mark in league play. Coach Thees tutored the Tiger pitch-ing staff to seven single-season pitching records in 2010, including ERA (1.97), opponent batting average (.192), most strikeouts per game (6.62), fewest hits allowed (241), fewest home runs al-lowed (18), fewest runs allowed (130) and fewest earned runs allowed (98). Carly Hummel highlighted the indi-vual pitching performances with five games of 10 or more strikeouts, includ-ing four of the top five strikeout perfor-

mances in program history. Hummel struck out a school record 15 batters against Alabama State and Missis-sippi Valley State, respectively. Hummel tossed the third-best strikeout perfor-mance against Saint Louis and the fifth-ranked came against Wichita State. Memphis pitchers tossed six one-hitters in 2010. Hummel threw four one-hitters and combined for another. Lau-ren Carley threw one and combined for a one-hitter with Hummel. The 2010 season also saw the Ti-

gers advance to the C-USA Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history after a 5-1 victory over Tulsa in the opening round. In her five seasons at Memphis, Thees’ players have earned eight All-Conference awards, seven all-confer-ence freshman team selections and two NFCA All-South Region selection. This past year, Lelani Barnardino and Vanessa Walle earned Second Team All-Conference USA selection and Carly Hummel was named to the all-confer-ence freshman team. Thees’ players have also found suc-cess in the classroom with all 15 of her seniors earning their diploma. In addi-tion, under Thees’ tenure the Tigers have earned four CoSIDA/ESPN The Maga-zine All-District selections, 15 NFCA Scholar Athlete selections and four C-USA All-Academic team selections. The softball program has twice pro-duced the U of M’s nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. For-mer volleyball and softball letterwinner Melissa Nance was the 2008 Memphis nominee, and former pitching standout Jenna Kubesch was nominated in 2007. Kubesch also earned one of 12 C-USA Postgraduate Scholarships. Memphis came just short in several games in 2009. A third of the U of M’s losses last year came by one run, in-cluding a 1-0 loss to then No. 9/11 California. In 2009, one of Coach Thees’ focuses was to become a more dangerous team on the basepath. That vision could be seen as the Tigers set a new season re-cord in stolen bases with 72, surpassing the previous high of 61 in 2006. Memphis surpassed its per game steal mark in 2008 from a .927 average to 1.4 swipes per game in 2009. Other team records

broken in 2009 came in triples (10) and double plays (21). Thees helped Memphis improve its win total by 29 percent in 2007, while losing one game fewer than its inaugu-ral season totals in 2006. The Tigers’ power numbers also saw an increase from 2006 with the team finishing fourth in the league in home runs with 47, 14 more than the previous season and a 33 percent increase. In the Tigers’ first C-USA Champion-ship trip, the team defeated third seeded Tulsa, 2-1, in the opening game. De-spite only one hit in the game, Memphis scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning with the game-winning run com-ing home off a suicide squeeze bunt. The Tigers then lost a 1-0 10-inning battle to East Carolina with the Pirates breaking up a perfect game in the ninth. Memphis reached the league tourna-ment in dramatic fashion in 2007 need-ing to win its final six conference games of the season to qualify for the event. With a postseason type mentality, Thees guided her Tigers to sweeps over UAB and UCF with all six games decided by a run and two needing walk-off scores in the 11th inning. In 2006, Thees brought in a squad of newcomers and finished above .500 with a 28-26 overall record. The Tigers earned a 19-0 victory in its inaugural debut against Grambling State and went on to a 5-1 start. Narrowly missing one of the six spots in the Conference USA Championship, Memphis finished sev-enth in the nine-team conference with a 10-13 record. On January 6, 2005, University of Memphis Director of Athletics R.C. Johnson announced Thees as the head coach of the new intercollegiate soft-ball program. Thees and her inaugural

Prior to her tenure at GCSU, Thees served as an assistant softball coach and wellness coordinator at Lake City Community College in Lake City, Fla., from 1998-99. LCCC was ranked No. 1 in the national poll during both the 1998 and 1999 seasons and placed second at the JUCO National Championships in 1999. Thees was a four-year starter at both catcher and second base at Florida State from 1993-97. She helped lead the Seminoles to three ACC Champi-onships and made the All-ACC Tourna-ment Team twice, including once as a freshman. Thees was voted the team’s Most Inspirational Player all four sea-sons, and served as a team captain her senior year in 1997. She earned her bachelor’s degree in marketing and multinational business in 1997 and also holds her master’s degree in business administration from GCSU, which she earned in 2002.

Nick French joins the Tiger program after one year as a volunteer assistant coach with national runner-up Arizona. He assisted with the daily operations of the nationally-ranked Wildcat squad, as well as assisting in the development of the outfielders. The Wildcats were consistently ranked in the top-five of the various polls and won four-straight elimination games during the postsea-son. French coached under eight-time national champion and two-time United State Olympic team coach Mike Can-drea while at Arizona.

Prior to his stint at the University of Arizona, French was the interim head coach at Simmons (Mass.) College in 2008 before becoming an assistant coach at Piedmont (Pa.) College. He began coaching at the age of 14 under his father, Marty French, who ran the highly-successful Bay State Blaze Ju-nior Olympic program. During that time, he took part in six national tournaments, sending many players on to college programs. He also served as pitching coach at his alma mater, Abington High School, for five years as well as at Em-erson College.

At Piedmont, his team finished fourth in the conference and had four All-Confer-ence players, and the conference rookie of the year. In addition to his coaching, French has played modified and fast-pitch softball for eight seasons and was a member of the 2008 ASA Modified Na-tional Champion Granite State Bulldogs. He has played in six national tourna-ments with a host of teams.

French attended Emerson College, where he played basketball for a season and assisted with the softball program. He graduated in 2005 with a degree in print and multimedia journalism. He has previously worked for the Boston Globe, and served as a sports editor for the Community Newspaper Company.

Nick is the son of Marty and Veronica French, and has a younger sister, Andrea.

Julie Meyer joins the program after one season as a volunteer assistant coach and one season as a student assistant coach after a four-year playing career at the University of California. As a vol-unteer assistant for the Bears, Meyer helped develop the catchers and infield-ers with everyday drills. Under the tute-lage of Cal pitching coach John Reeves, Meyer assisted in calling the games. Prior to becoming a volunteer assistant coach, Meyer served as a student-assis-tant coach for one season.

As a first baseman/catcher for the Bears in 2004-08, Meyer produced record numbers for the Cal softball program. She finished her playing career ranked fourth all-time with 25 home runs. She provided the heroics in the 2008 Region-al Championship game, when she hit a walk-off, ninth inning single to send the Bears to the Super Regional. In 2005, the Bears advanced to the College World Series and Meyer was the starter at first base in every game.

Meyer graduated with a bachelor of arts in sociology in 2010. She has worked at various California softball clinics and has volunteered with Special Olympics as an instructor. She was elected as the captain of the Bears in 2007-08 and served as the softball representative to the Student Athlete Advisory Commit-tee. She was awarded the Donna Terry Scholarship for her outstanding team leadership in 2007.

TigerSoftball Complex

n 2011, the Tigers will play their fourth full season in

their $1.7 million Tiger Softball Complex on the University of

Memphis’ Park Avenue Campus on the corner of Park Avenue and Getwell Road. The natural grass outfield boasts spacious locker rooms and dugouts on each side of the base path. The dimension of the 275 capacity stadium are 200 to the right and left fields and 220 to center. Bullpens are found to the side of each dugout and a batting cage rests beyond the right field fence. The press box to the complex consists of two broadcast booths and two workroom areas. High speed wireless Internet is available for the working media. Spacious locker rooms behind each dugout were completed prior to the 2009 season. The bullpens were also upgraded before the 2010 season with field turf. Memphis officially dedicated its new stadium on Saturday, April 7, 2007, before the final contest of a three-game series with Tulsa. University of Memphis President Dr. Shirley C. Raines threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Kimmi Hayden in front of a full house. U of M Athletic Director R.C. Johnson and other school administrators were also in attendance, and the first 250 fans received a commemorative souvenir ticket. The Tigers began playing in the new facility on March 24, 2007, in a three-game series against Houston. In three seasons, Memphis has played 44 home games in the stadium and has a 46-31 record. The Tigers have averaged an attendance of 206 for the 44 dates at the Tiger Softball Complex. “This is huge for our program,” said Memphis head coach Windy Thees. “Having a place close to campus that is as beautiful as this place is wonderful. We’ve got the brick and the blue roofs. Everything about it screams Memphis and first class. Especially for recruiting purposes, having a place like this is going to make this program grow and grow.”

Considered 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 chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million resi-dents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the Na-tional Basketball Association and the Univer-sity of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for conces-sion stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor “Boss” Crump called “Boss Crump Blues” and later published as the “The Memphis Blues.” The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have per-formed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the en-tertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music of-fered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississip-pi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Bar-becue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as

the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. The Stax Museum reopened on its original location at McLemore and Crump in the summer of 2003 and offers visitors a complete history of “Soulsville USA.” One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jer-ry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of His-torical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. Also located down-town is the beautiful Orpheum Theater which serves as a venue for performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling Broadway shows, as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts. The city’s location makes Memphis a ma-jor distribution hub with two interstate high-ways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.

They come here on the recommendation of their major professors at European universi-ties; they come here to study subjects that are offered nowhere else; they come to study alongside men and women who are recog-nized and respected throughout the academ-ic and scientific communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the fac-ulty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefactors, our “people assets” have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environ-ment that makes a life-long impact on the young minds at the U of M. The University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the General Education Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known originally as West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president. Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the tiger as the mascot. Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict. Over the next decade, The Desoto year-book was created, the first library was opened in the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men’s dorm was built; today that dorm, Scates Hall, houses the College of Arts and Sciences’ Dean’s 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 1935 the school’s agriculture department was discontinued. The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in 1946, J. Millard “Jack” Smith became pres-ident - the first alumnus to hold the position. In 1950 graduate studies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to a semester system.

In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In 1959 the university admitted its first African American students, and the first doctoral programs began in 1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructed across the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSU became the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curriculum. The 1990s were characterized by anoth-er name change and another building boom. In 1994 MSU became the University of Mem-phis, and the Ned R. McWherter Library was completed. Moving into the 21st century, the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management and the FedEx Institute of Technology have made their mark on the University landscape. Today, the University of Memphis is one of Tennessee’s three comprehensive doctor-al-extensive institutions of higher learning. Situated in a beautiful park-like setting in the state’s largest city, it is the flagship of the Ten-nessee Board of Regents system. It awards more than 3,000 degrees annually. With an enrollment of approximately 21,000 students, The University of Memphis has 24 Chairs of Excellence, more than any other Tennessee university, and five state-approved Centers of Excellence.

R.C. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U of M Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 14 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last seven years and played for the Men’s Bas-ketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2010, a record-setting $7.3 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last seven years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 15 total C-USA cham-pionships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament champion-ships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the wom-en’s soccer program claimed consecutive league championships in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Johnson is currently spearheading his sec-ond major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. In-cluded in the $12.9 million project is a new ad-dition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that was unveiled for the 2010 season, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility, a renovation of the women’s basketball and volleyball locker rooms and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previ-ously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign in-cluded a new 8,000-square-foot football and bas-ketball office complex addition, a new basketball

practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renova-tion of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholar-ship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Di-rector’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 41 members un-der Johnson. A significant revenue source for Ti-ger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative long-term contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. In 2008, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, John-son leads a department that set a school record with 51 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the spring 2010 semester. For the most recent academic year, which in-cludes fall 2009 and spring 2010, 339 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and eight had a 4.0 for the year and 33 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. For the spring 2010 semes-ter, the athletic department as a whole posted its highest GPA ever with a 2.94 and 23 student-athletes garnered a 4.0 GPA. In May 2010, 48 athletes earned their degrees, marking the larg-est group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record.

Before taking over Tiger Athletics, Johnson was responsible for directing a Temple program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20 men’s and women’s intercollegiate sports, including nationally-visible programs in men’s basketball and football. He was named Temple’s director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after serving nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. He had also previously led the depart-ment at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88, and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant at Mankato State Univer-sity from 1968-74. He coached at Youngstown State University during the 1967 and 1968 sea-sons after serving as an assistant coach at North-ern Iowa (1965-67) and the University of Iowa (1963-65). An Ottawa, Ill., native, Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the Univer-sity of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s de-gree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson is a member of the National Association of College Directors of Athletics and serves on the NCAA Leadership Council. A veteran administrator in Conference USA, Johnson sits on both the C-USA Bowl Committee and the league’s Finance Committee. In addition, he is a member of the University of Memphis President’s Council. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three chil-dren: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

2011 Softball Fact BookUniversity of Memphis

When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. For over 35 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis has been a Bengal Tiger named TOM. TOM attends all Tiger Football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year. TOM travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer, always with police escort. As one of only two universities in America with a live tiger mascot, The University of Memphis is unique in its Tiger Tradition. As a project of the Highland Hundred, no public or University funds are used to provide for TOM’s needs, and no University resources are required in his care. TOM is a powerful and majestic symbol of the University of Memphis, and his presence presents constant opportunities to educate Tiger fans young & old through the preservation of one of the world’s most recognizable endangered species.

The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year.

Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against UCF.

The University of Memphis’ official school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.

S c h o o l C o l o r s

The University of Memphis’ official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping Tiger coming out from behind the letter. The new logo is an “M” with a leaping Tiger coming up over the center of the “M.”
