Bowie State Names Goff New Athletic Director
BOWIE, Md. - Bowie State University named Anton Goff as the institution's new director of athletics, effective October 1. Goff, formerly associate director for the Academic Support and Career Development Unit (ASCDU) at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP), served in collegiate athletics administration for the past 15 years.A press conference at Bowie State is scheduled for Wednesday, September 15, 2010, at 3 p.m. The event's location is the Thurgood Marshall Library in the Special Collections Room on the second floor.
Goff succeeds interim athletic director Arlene Creek, an alumna who has been associated with Bowie State for over 30 years.
At UMCP, Goff focused on leading the Terps' academic support unit in providing quality developmental programs and need-based services that enhanced academic progress, facilitated career development and encouraged the psychosocial growth of all student-athletes.
"Mr. Goff brings an array of experiences that are certain to enhance the athletic programs at Bowie State University," said Mickey L. Burnim, president of Bowie State University. "His credentials are impressive and we are indeed delighted he is joining BSU to help lead an already thriving Division II program to the next level of excellence."
At Bowie State, Goff will oversee its 13 men's and women's athletic teams, which are part of the NCAA Division II Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA).
Goff will take on the role soon after Bowie State unveils its new artificial turf at Bulldog Stadium on September 25 at the first home football game versus Virginia Union University.
It is a great day to be a Bulldog," stated Anton Goff. "This is a tremendous opportunity for me professionally and personally. My goals and values mirror those of BSU and I am looking forward to leading the Athletic Department in pursuit of academic and athletic excellence as well as community participation. I am honored to be placed in this leadership position. My family and I are excited to become contributing members of the Bowie State University community."
Goff served as the sport supervisor and administrator at UMCP for six of its 27 varsity sports (men's and women's track and field program), while overseeing the program's yearly budget. He managed the areas of student services, academic support, community service, and life skills for all 27 varsity sports and 700 student-athletes.
While at Michigan State University, Goff served as the academic coordinator for the Spartan football team, where he was responsible for tracking the student-athletes' classroom efforts and monitoring progress toward their degrees in compliance with NCAA and Big Ten regulations. Goff was responsible for overseeing the tutoring programs and study table at MSU and coordinated a faculty/staff mentorship program. Goff supervised four full-time academic counselors/learning specialists, graduate students and several undergraduate tutors.
Prior to his tenure at MSU, Goff provided academic support for Maryland men's basketball, men's and women's track, men's and women's soccer and softball programs from 1998 to 2001. During his first stint in College Park, Goff was instrumental in the development of the Terrapin Student-Athlete Handbook and the implementation of educational programs concerning alcohol and drug abuse, academic integrity, gender violence and human diversity.
He completed the NCAA Leadership Institute and is a member of several associations and societies including the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association, the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, the African American Scholars Honor Society, the Golden Key National Honors Society, the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics, the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society, and the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.
Goff earned a bachelor's degree in the administration of justice from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond in 1991, before receiving a master's degree in the same discipline from VCU two years later. He completed all of the requirements, excluding the dissertation (ABD), for a doctorate degree from Kent State University in Education Administration with a concentration in Sports Administration. He lives in Bowie with his wife and two daughters.

S.C. State-Benedict game could be one-year deal
It was a study in contrasts at Monday’s news conference kicking off a week of activities leading up to Saturday’s South Carolina HBCU Classic football game between South Carolina State and Benedict at Charlie W. Johnson Stadium. A parade of Benedict spokespersons, including football coach Stan Conner and athletics director Willie Washington, were effusive in praise and support of the first-time event.Bulldogs coach Buddy Pough, one of two S.C. State representatives on hand, tried to be noncommittal about the future of the game, but he seemed to indicate the HBCU Classic might be a one-year deal. “We’re happy to be part of this event and looking forward to playing in Columbia. But as far as us playing again in the future, that is a question for our athletic director,” Pough said.

Perfect start for Albany State Golden Rams
ALBANY, GA — From the moment the two teams got together for the handshake — or lack thereof — it was apparent the game between Albany State and Clark Atlanta at Albany State University Coliseum was going to be ugly. And boy, was it ever.The Rams defeated the Panthers, 28-13, on Saturday night, but the game was a lot closer than the final score, as both teams dealt with multiple fumbles, interceptions and plays for negative yards.
“Our biggest thing is that we did not complete drives and that we turned the ball over for two touchdowns,” ASU offensive coordinator Steve Smith said. “That puts you behind, and (doesn’t help).” The good news? ASU’s defense didn’t allow any of those 13 Clark points. The better news? ASU is now 2-0 overall and in the SIAC.

Next Game: Saturday at Tuskegee, 2 p.m.
Taylor pleased with FAMU's performance
DOVER, Del. — Coach Joe Taylor's palms might be a little sore today after applauding his Florida A&M football team as much as he did Saturday night at Alumni Stadium. When he wasn't letting his players know how much he appreciated their play, he paced the sidelines with his hands akimbo.
He might have clasped his hands to his hips more times than he wanted to because the gesture didn't always come when Taylor liked what he saw on the field. The penalties that the Rattlers committed in their 17-14 victory over Delaware Sate bothered him. FAMU committed six penalties in the first half and finished the game with nine for a loss of 57 yards.
FAMU AD Horne enjoys wearing his new colors
DOVER, Del. – At halftime of Saturday's game, Florida A&M athletic director Derek Horne was smiling broadly. It was still there at the end as the Rattlers' new AD got his first live view of a MEAC football game. He liked the fact that the Rattlers were on top 10-6 at the half on the road. The Rattlers had to rally from a 6-3 deficit to get the lead after the first 30 minutes.
"I think they are rebounding real well from a tough loss last week," Horne said, referring to the Rattlers' season-opening loss to the University of Miami. "As we go through the season they will get better and show some improvement. We just hope they can keep their heads up and get on a good roll."
Twins hit the road to follow FAMU
DOVER, Del. — Jackie Bryant and her twin sister Joyce Miller had good reason to drive more than 1,000 miles from Tallahassee to Alumni Stadium for Saturday's game between Florida A&M and Delaware State University. "We have high expectations of winning," Jackie said.
Those expectations were met. FAMU beat the Hornets 17-14 to improve to 1-1 overall and 1-0 in the MEAC. The sisters will put another 1,500 miles or so on their car when this road-trip is over. After Delaware, they'll head to Washington, D.C., to catch the Rattlers against Howard University. Then after reloading back home, they'll head back on the road to the Atlanta Football Classic.

President Obama: "Education Means Emancipation"
Remarks by President Obama to presidents of historically black colleges and universities, as provided by the White House at HBCU President's Reception
Grand Foyer, September 13, 2010, 10:36 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody!
AUDIENCE: Hello!
THE PRESIDENT: Welcome. Welcome to the White House. It is good to see some old friends and familiar faces. And I want to especially welcome three of our newest board members of the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. I am so grateful that they’ve agreed to join, and I’m looking forward to working with all of you.
Now, last February, I saw some of you here when I signed the executive order to strengthen the White House initiative on HBCUs. And this is allowing the government to collaborate with educational associations, with philanthropic organizations, and with the private sector to increase your capacity to offer a college degree to as many students as possible.
We’ve also declared this week to be National HBCU Week. And we do this for two reasons: first of all, to remember our history. We remember all the men and women who took great risks and made extraordinary sacrifices to ensure that these institutions that you lead could exist. We remember that at a critical time in our nation’s history, HBCUs waged war against illiteracy and ignorance -- and won. You’ve made it possible for millions of people to achieve their dreams and gave so many young people a chance they never thought they’d have -- a chance that nobody else would give them. And that’s something to celebrate. And that’s something to be very, very proud of. (Applause.)
But we also use this week as an opportunity to look forward towards the future and to take stock of the work that we’ve got left to do. As many of you know, I set a goal that by 2020, the United States would once again lead in the number of college graduates, have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. I set that goal because our success in a 21st century economy is going to depend almost entirely on having a skilled workforce, how well trained our young people are.
We cannot reach that goal without HBCUs. We can’t get there -- (applause) -- we can’t get there unless all of you are improving your graduation rates. We can’t get there unless all of you are continuing to make the dream of a college education a reality for more students. We want to help you do that in every way that we can. Already, we’ve eliminated billions of dollars of unnecessary subsidies to banks and financial institutions so that that money could go directly to your students. And that is incredibly important. (Applause.) And as a consequence of that, we’re making it possible for millions of more students to attend colleges and universities and community colleges all across the country.
We also want to keep strengthening HBCUs, which is why we’re investing $850 million in these institutions over the next 10 years. (Applause.) And as I said in February, strengthening your institutions isn’t just a task for our advisory board or for the Department of Education; it’s a job for the entire federal government. And I expect all agencies to support this mission.
Now, none of this is going to be easy. I know -- I’m sure you know that. As leaders of these institutions, you are up against enormous challenges, especially during an economic crisis like the one that we are going through. But we all have to try. We have to try. We have to remain determined. We have to persevere.
That's what the first founders of HBCUs did. They knew that even if they succeeded, that inequality would persist for a very, very long time. They knew that the barriers in our laws, the barriers in our hearts would not vanish overnight. But they also recognized a larger and distinctly American truth, and that is that the right education might one day allow us to overcome barriers, to let every child fulfill their God-given potential. They recognized, as Frederick Douglass once put it, that education means emancipation. And they recognized that education is how America and its people might fulfill our promise.
That’s what helped them get through some very difficult times. It’s what kept them fighting and trying and reaching for that better day, even though they might not be able to live to see that better day. That’s the kind of commitment that we’re going to need today from everybody here at the White House, from all of you at your respective institutions.
We are extraordinarily proud of what you’ve done. But we’ve got a lot more work to do. And I just want everybody here to understand that you’ve got a partner in me, and you’ve got a partner in the Department of Education -- and you’ve got a department with everybody here at the White House who’s absolutely committed to making sure that you can succeed in your mission.
So thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. (Applause.) Thank you.

SWAC coach says S.C. State should stay in FCS playoffs
Coach Karl Morgan and his Mississippi Valley State University Delta Devils received a first hand view Saturday evening of a potential FCS National Championship football program at S.C. State. Sitting outside the visitors locker room Saturday night at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium, a drained Mississippi Valley State head coach Karl Morgan watched his players limp quietly into the dressing quarters.
His Delta Devils were physically pounded on both sides of the football by 15th-ranked South Carolina State, 44-0. Compared to what it showed against the Bulldogs, Mississippi Valley State looked more competitive a week earlier in scoring two field goals in a 34-6 loss at Alabama State.
On Saturday, the Delta Devils managed just 44 total yards and were held to just six first downs, two aided by penalties. Despite their constant blitzes which at times disrupted S.C. State's passing game, Mississippi Valley State allowed 489 total yards and this does not include the 117 in kick return yards.

Williams celebrates as Tuskegee gets win over Stillman
TUSCALOOSA, AL - Jeremy Williams turns 21 on Monday, but he celebrated in his hometown on Saturday night. Williams, a sophomore quarterback, engineered a couple of touchdown drives and the visiting Tuskegee Golden Tigers handed Stillman College a 41-15 loss.
Williams, a graduate of Tuscaloosa’s Central High School, said he had to secure 10 tickets for family and friends.
“It was more like a homecoming game for me,” said Williams, who led Central to a 15-0 record and the Class 4A championship in 2007. “When I got in, I wanted to capitalize on each of my drives, kind of make a statement. I was glad that we got a win, especially in Tuscaloosa in front of a lot of people I know.”
Tuskegee, the defending Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association champion, lost a fumble in the first half but was almost perfect in building a 28-0 lead. Stillman cut the margin to 28-15.

Hampton Humbles Howard 31-21 in Battle of the “Real HU”
The crowd. The colors. The camaraderie. Hampton vs. Howard is more than just a football game; it’s the battle for the title “The Real HU.” But lately it hasn’t been much of a battle at all on the gridiron between the schools.
The Hampton Pirates have tamed the Bison 13 years in a row and in front of a packed Greene Stadium on Sept. 11, Virginia’s HU version won a 14th claim for the undisputed title. Hampton’s 31-21 road victory over Howard extended its win streak in this long-standing rivalry and resolved any doubt about who holds the title of the Real HU— at least for another year.
Early in the first half however, it appeared the Bison (0-2) and third string quarterback Casey Council were ready to shake the rivalry up a little.

ALABAMA STATE 38, ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFF 31: Rickerson revs up Hornets for key win
Alabama State was slowly wearing down and the Hornets were in need of a big play. And early in the second half Jacques Rickerson delivered. The Hornets' defensive back had asked for the assignment of covering Arkansas-Pine Bluff receiver Raymond Webber and when quarterback Josh Boudreaux threw his first pass of the second half toward Webber, Rickerson was waiting.
"They started running crossing routes against the zone, so we came out in the second half and decided to 'man' up," Rickerson said. "I told Coach I wanted 86 (Webber) and he put me on him the rest of the game."
Rickerson's 17-yard interception return on the second play of the third quarter set up the Hornets' go-ahead touchdown and Alabama State went on to win 38-31 before 14,199 fans at Cramton Bowl on Saturday night.

Fumble return keys Norfolk State's 23-14 win
NORFOLK, VA - Hit them when they're up, hit them when they're (headed) down. That's Norfolk State linebacker Corwin Hammond's philosophy on dealing with quarterbacks. Hammond said he was just trying to punish North Carolina A&T quarterback Shelton Morgan when he helped Norfolk State pull away in a 23-14 win in front of 14,550 at Dick Price Stadium on Saturday.
"He was going down, so you might as well hit him," Hammond said. "You might as well. If he's going to run it, he's going to get hit." Trailing 13-7 with 8:12 left in the third quarter, the Aggies (0-2) were moving the ball well for the first time against NSU (1-1). North Carolina A&T finished with just six first downs, but Morgan looked ready to move the chains for the third time on the drive.

Morehouse crushes Lane, goes to 3-0
Morehouse is serving notice to the SIAC that they are for real. Just as clear though: Lane College isn’t a team by which to judge that. The Maroon Tigers (3-0, 2-0) pounded Lane 49-6, taking advantage of some, but not all, of Lane’s many miscues. The Dragons routinely went backward on offense, some which could be credited to the Morehouse defense, but some was the result of bad snaps, poor decisions and fumbled punt attempts.
David Carter led Morehouse with 71 yards in the first half. Derrin Nettles had 15 tackles and a sack, and Chigbo Annunoby had 13 tackles.

Memphis, TN - In the past, Jackson State coach Rick Comegy would have been hoping, perhaps praying, that his defense would be able to hold off a late Tennessee State rally. That’s because his team has fallen too many times to their Southern Heritage Classic rivals not to worry. But Saturday night, with his team clinging to a seven-point lead and TSU having five cracks inside JSU’s 10-yard line at a game-tying touchdown, Comegy was confident his Tigers would prevail.
And when JSU held on for the 33-26 win, snapping a seven-game slide to TSU in front of 44,688 Saturday night at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, Comegy declared it the beginning of something special.
MEMPHIS — The 33-26 win over Tennessee State on Saturday night didn't come without an unfortunate loss for Jackson State. Starting cornerback Anthony Johnson is likely out for the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Saturday's win. The diagnosis of a torn ACL is a preliminary one, a school official said during the game.
Johnson, a 6-foot, 205-pound senior who transferred from Mississippi State before last season, will be re-evaluated at a later date. Johnson suffered the injury while running down to cover a punt early in the first quarter. Johnson, who scouts say is JSU's best chance to get a player picked in the upcoming NFL draft, had to be assisted off the field by three people. He put no weight on his right leg.
MEMPHIS — With a flabbergasted look rolling across his face, Jackson State linebacker Ryan Rich looked for someone - anyone - as he ran about the Liberty Bowl field. Someone to hug. Someone to smile with. Someone to share this oh-so-fantastic feeling with. It's a feeling that comes eight years in the making.
Jackson State beat Tennessee State 33-26 on Saturday night in front of a raucous crowd at the Liberty Bowl, knocking off the Tigers from Nashville for the first time in eight years in the Southern Heritage Classic. Not only that, but the Tigers from Mississippi's Capital City are 2-0 for the first time since 2001.

Maryland football has few problems with Morgan State in 62-3 blowout
College Park, MD - Before Maryland's demolition of an inferior opponent was even complete Saturday night, focus in College Park had already shifted to a quarterback situation that becomes more intriguing by the week.
Starting quarterback Jamarr Robinson threw two touchdown passes in a 62-3 rout of Morgan State, helping the Terrapins pile up more points than they had in 35 years. But Robinson was replaced in the second quarter by backup Danny O'Brien, who wowed coaches and fans alike by throwing three touchdowns in the first four pass attempts of his career. Maryland's coaches had planned to play both quarterbacks, much like they did in the season-opening victory against Navy.
But the combination of O'Brien's impressive showing and Robinson's tendency to miss some open receivers Saturday adds uncertainty to the quarterback position as the team prepares for what should be a difficult game at West Virginia next Saturday.

WSSU Rams improve to 3-0 with win over NCCU Eagles
DURHAM, N.C. - In a game of big plays, Rashaun Jones made the biggest for Winston-Salem State. Jones had a big interception with 1:59 left to help the Rams win 34-27 over the N.C. Central Eagles last night at sold-out (9,711) O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium.
With the game tied at 27 and the Eagles driving quarterback Michael Johnson tried to hit Geovonie Irvine on a fly pattern but Jones made a leaping interception in the end zone for the Rams first interception of the season. Not content with that, the Rams then went 80 yards for the game winning touchdown when Tehyvn Brantley caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kameron Smith with 1:34 left.
"Coach just told us to stay calm and focused because we'd have to win it on the back end," said Jones, who transferred to WSSU from Miami last spring. "I'm just glad I could help the team win the game."

Southern's Stunning defeat
.jpg)
The Jaguars had minus-22 rushing yards on 24 attempts.They had the entire fourth quarter to accept what happened Saturday night, when a Division II team called Arkansas-Monticello came into A.W. Mumford Stadium and manhandled the Southern University football team in Stump Mitchell’s home debut. The 31-7 final score was no fluke.
Still, when time ran out, some of the SU players were motionless on the sideline, in a fog, stunned at the outcome. Defensive tackles Casey Narcisse and Jordan Miller sat on the bench, staring directly at the grass in front of them. Later, linebacker Corey Ray shook his head in disbelief. “We didn’t come to play,” Ray said. “We didn’t do what we were coached to do. ... It wasn’t about Xs and Os. We just didn’t give the effort we were supposed to give.”
Ground game freezes
Center Ramon Chinyoung glanced at the game clock during the final seconds of Saturday night’s 31-7 loss to Division II Arkansas-Monticello, visibly disgusted at himself and offensive teammates. That’s because Southern University finished its nonconference game with minus-22 rushing yards, what should be one of the worst efforts in recent memory.
Chinyoung, one of the team captains, could only point the proverbial finger of blame at himself. “I feel like I’m the reason why we lost the game because this is my O-Line,” said Chinyoung, a fifth-year senior. “Because I’m the general.”
Team Effort Leads Boll Weevils Past Southern
The University of Arkansas at Monticello football team responded from its season opening loss with a 31-7 rout of Southern University on Saturday at A.W. Mumford Stadium. The Boll Weevils even their season record at 1-1 with its third victory in as many seasons over an NCAA Division I-Football Championship Subdivision. UAM defeated Arkansas-Pine Bluff in each of the past two seasons. The Jaguars also evened their record at 1-1.
UAM had production in all aspects of the game with 371 yards of total offense, only 117 yards of total offense allowed, 149 punt return yards and a blocked punt. In the first half, UAM pitched a shutout, holding a 24-0 advantage going into the locker room.
Southern says it wasn't ready to play in loss to Arkansas-Monticello
Led by senior quarterback Scott Buisson's 274 total-yard performance, Arkansas-Monticello (1-1), a Division II school, routed Southern (1-1) 31-7 at A.W. Mumford Stadium in Stump Mitchell's first game on the bluff as Southern's coach. Southern gained only 117 yards and allowed 371, along with 18 first downs and 149 returns yards. Mitchell and players admitted they weren't quite ready to play against Arkansas-Monticello.
"We've just got to do what we're supposed to do. That's just the bottom line. And that starts with me, " Mitchell said. "I was really pleased with the turnout of the fans -- not pleased with how we played. That's part of the game, though."

USM Golden Eagle '7s' play well against Prairie View
Forgive the Prairie View A&M Panthers for seeing double Saturday night against the University of Southern Mississippi. Not only did the visitors get knocked loopy by the Golden Eagles at Roberts Stadium, losing 34-7, but it was a pair of “Sevens” playing on either side of the football for USM that helped apply some of the most-telling, early shots.Sophomore running back Desmond Johnson, No. 7 on offense, carried seven times for 32 yards in the first half and scored the Golden Eagles’ first two rushing touchdowns of the season, getting USM off to a 17-0 lead before an announced 27,316. Red-shirt freshman cornerback Deron Wilson, No. 7 on defense, made a splash in his second consecutive start, with four tackles, including a jarring, helmet-popping hit on Panther running back Donald Babers for a 4-yard loss, and broke up two passes.
