  • Tennessee Has a Storied Tradition of Great Players and Great Teams
    PMRphoto.com PMRphoto.com Tennessee has a storied tradition of great players and great teams. I am very excited about the opportunity we have here, and I hope you are too. Since becoming part of the Tennessee family in December, I have been amazed at the energy and enthusiasm of our fans. I can’t wait to experience having more than 100,000 of you cheering our team on at one of the greatest venues in college football during our eight home games this fall. When I took this job, I set out to hire the best coaches in America, and I think we have assembled a group of coaches that are unrivaled anywhere in the country. As a staff, we have a total of 35 years NFL coaching experience, 118 years of collegiate coaching experience, 84 years of coaching experience at BCS conference schools and 32 years of coaching experience in the SEC. Those involved in our program have won 13 national titles, 36 conference titles and 48 bowl games, not to mention a Super Bowl. My staff and I are committed to recruiting the best student-athletes in the country to build on UT’s outstanding history. Our first recruiting class ranked in the top 10 nationally and included the No. 1 rated player in the nation. We continue to work tirelessly at bringing the top players to Knoxville. We want the 2009 team and all of our future teams to be disciplined and accountable in all areas of life. Our progress can already be seen in the way our players are handling their workouts and the level of dedication they are bringing to putting Tennessee football back on top.

  • Rice M Footbl 2016 17 Misc
    BRIAN PATTERSON SPORTS PERFORMANCE CENTER An exciting new chapter in the storied history of Rice Stadium and Rice Athletics debuts this fall when the Owls move into their sparkling new end zone facility, the Brian Patterson Sports Perfor- mance Center. The fully-funded $33 million project includes a 60,000-square-foot, two-story structure that houses a weight room, a home team locker room, coaching and staff offices, an auditorium, a football team lounge and areas for training and sports medicine that include hydrotherapy, plunge pools and exam rooms. The weight room and sports medicine areas will be available to student-athletes from all sports at Rice. The new building features a glass wall on the side facing the football field that offers a view of the weight rooms on the ground and second floors. The other three sides will be made of brick that complements the color of the brick on the rest of the stadium. White columns supporting the roof will be similar to the columns in other parts of the stadium. A concrete ramp will provide access to the football field. Fans will also benefit from the dramatic upgrade in facilities with the installation of a new Daktronics video system Rice Stadium will also feature two acoustically transparent video displays in front of the venue’s speaker systems. These free-form LED stick applications will measure 29 feet high by 10 feet wide to provide additional video and graphics capabilities in a space typically used for fixed signage. These displays will provide flexibility to show multiple sponsorship messages throughout an event or additional graphics to pump up the crowd at key moments during the game.
