To the friends and fans of Memphis' most spectacular football event of the year, we welcome you to the 43rd AXA Liberty Bowl. This past year has given renewed meaning to patriotism, freedom and being an American. While we witnessed the dark side of a few, we have also seen the hope, kindness, love and resolve of many. This year has given us all reasons to be proud to be Americans. Let us not forget the sacrifices made by many to create the freedoms we enjoy today. As president of the AXA Liberty Bowl Festival Association, my thoughts are with the men and women affected by the events of this year. I extend a heartfelt thank you to those who gave unselfishly to help those who have suffered so much and our men and women in uniform who defend this nation. It is a special honor for us to pay tribute and recognize the true heroes of the world - those who help others. Since 1965, Memphis has been the host of what has become a jewel in our city's crown. Our Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium has served as the site of some of the greatest events in college football bowl history, like the final game of legendary coach "Bear" Bryant, and as the training ground for famous Heisman Trophy winners such as Doug Flutie, Bo Jackson and Ernie Davis. Today, we want to continue our strong tradition of presenting a first-class bowl game, highlighted by a magnificent halftime celebration featuring Three Dog Night and the Children of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - the beneficiary of the AXA Liberty Bowl. We also have a strong complement of exciting events and activities leading up to the game including the Team Welcome Party in beautifully revitalized downtown Memphis; the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee SK Run; the President's Gala; the AXA Liberty Bowl Parade on historic Beale Street; and the Time Warner Cable Pre-Game Buffet- our unique version of tailgating inside the Mid-South Coliseum. Over the years, this momentous festival week has become the social event of the holiday season in Memphis and it would not be possible without the continued support of our title sponsor - AXA - and our presenting sponsors: AutoZone, FedEx and VoiceStream. Of course, the citizens of Memphis are our biggest supporters and we sincerely appreciate their participation and enthusiasm for this event. On behalf of the AXA Liberty Bowl Festival Association Board of Directors we wish you a safe and happy New Year. Enjoy the game!

Sincerely,

Greg Duckett President 2001 AXA Liberty Bowl

Dear AXA Liberty Bowl Fans:

On behalf of AXA's 150,000 employees and financial professionals around the world, I would like to cor• dially welcome you to the 43rd annual AXA Liberty Bowl. With the theme of this year's game "A Celebration of Patriotism," we are especially pleased to host a large contingent of firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency service workers, military personnel and their families at this year's festivities. As a result of the valor, heroism and personal sacrifice exhibited by so many during the events of September 11th in New York City and Washington, as well as in the ongoing war on ter• rorism, we are very proud to honor these professions during pre-game and halftime ceremonies. This year's AXA Liberty Bowl is being dedicated to the victims of the September 11th terrorist attack. Each year this college classic reminds millions across the nation, both in the stands and watching on TV, of our individual liberties and freedoms. The emphasis of these core ingredients of our American values, we felt, would be a fitting tribute to those loved ones, friends and fellow citizens that were lost in that terrible tragedy. Once again. the AXA Liberty Bowl is being played for the benefit of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The doctors, researchers, nurses and other professionals at St. Jude are making tremendous strides in defeat• ing childhood cancer and other diseases. And, the courage of the kids undergoing treatment at St. Jude make them true MVPs in their struggle to get well. AXA and the AXA Foundation are proud to support them in this critical battle. We are also proud of the two great universities that are participating on the field today for the AXA Cup for Excellence and the AXA Liberty Bowl trophy. Both teams are true champions and we congratulate each for their outstanding success this year. As we get set for the game to begin, I would like to convey best wishes to you from the entire AXA organ• ization for a safe and happy holiday season.

If offense is what you crave, then Memphis is the place to get your fill, as Louisville and BVU engage in what could be a high-scoring, entertaining battle in the 43rd AXA Liberty Bowl

Smith, as well as his counterpart, are also both big believers in special teams play in bowl games. They know kicking, extra points and returns can decide a game. "Earlier this year, we had kickoff coverage problems," says Smith. "We worked on that." BYU meanwhile, after Hawaii returned a kickoff and punt for touchdowns in the first quarter against them, continued to work on special teams during Liberty Bowl practices. "Still, BYU is tough to prepare for in any length of time," said Smith, whose team is appearing in its ninth bowl. "They do a lot of things and are tough to get ready to play against. They have two standouts at the quar• terback and running back positions. And, if people like that are missing, you can tell." Smith draws his BYU history based on his past while coaching at other schools. However, this is the first time the Cards and Cougars have actually met in what will be the UL's second consecutive AXA Liberty Bowl appearance. The Cards lost to 2000 MWC champion Colorado State, 22-17, a year ago. The Cougars last appeared here in 1998 and came out on the short end of a 41-27 score against Tulane, which went undefeated behind quarterback Shaun King that year. "Their scheme is different than it once was," said Smith, referring to the wild and wooly days of the Western Athletic Conference, when LaVell Edwards' teams, with quarter• backs like Jim McMahon, Steve Young and Ty Detmer, filled the air with passes. "They always used to spread and throw it. Today, the running is much more involved." Smith said Louisville won't change for this game If this is true, then it means Ragone and Branch will put on a show along with return man Zek Parker, whose 2,261 yards ranks at Senior Brandon Doman earned AII-MWC honors by throwing for 3,152 yards and 28 touchdowns. the top of UL's career kickoff return yardage list.

The children on stage during halftime are patients at St. Jude and represent the children at St. Jude and around the world who are fighting for their lives against cancer and other diseases. The AXA Liberty Bowl is hon• ored to be a member of the St. Jude family, supporting the hospital's work to ensure Danny Thomas' dream that "no child should die in the dawn of life."

St. Jude is in the midst of a massive expansion that seeks to bolster its research in childhood cancer and expand its research of infectious diseases and genetic disorders. This year, St. Jude opened its latest tool in this expansion effort. The new 10-story Integrated Research Center is a state-of-the art facility that triples the space for laboratory research and will help find improved treatments and cures for childhood catastrophic diseases.

99 L B E R T y B D w L Distinguished Citizen Award

Police officers, firefighters and emergency workers of New York City are honored

he tragic events of September 11, 2001, changed our country forever. The images are still vivid in the mind's eye. One memory all Americans share is that of the thousands of law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency workers responding to the call of duty on that fateful day. For their heroic efforts that con• tinue today, the AXA Liberty Bowl is proud to honor the police officers, firefighters and emergency workers of New York City with the 2001 Distinguished Citizen Award. This AXA Liberty Bowl tradition recognizes individu• als who have achieved greatness in their chosen fields. No doubt, the individuals who wear the uniforms of police, fire and emergency workers in NYC have excelled beyond greatness. They have become real American heroes. They serve as role models for children. They rep• resent the true patriotic spirit of America. To the law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency work• ers who gave their lives on September 11 and for those who carry on their mission today, we say THANK YOU and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
