On tap:  UIndy opens its 2010 schedule with a Thursday non-conference road trip to Kentucky Wesleyan this week.  The Greyhounds are looking to open the season with a win for the sixth straight year.  UIndy has won 13 of its past 14 openers.  Thursday's contest with KWC will be the season-opener for both clubs.
 
Series history: The Greyhounds have won both of the previous meetings, each coming in the last two consecutive campaigns.  UIndy was a 40-14 winner in the series opener at Steele Stadium and took a 31-3 victory last season at Key Stadium.

About KWC:  The Panthers are coming off a 2-9 season a year ago and were picked to finish fourth in the four-team Great Lakes Football Conference (GLFC) this year.  KWC returns 39 letterwinners and 17 starters. 

About KWC Head Coach Brent Holsclaw:  Coach Holsclaw owns a 12-41 record over seven seasons at Kentucky Wesleyan.  The Panther alum (1993) enjoyed his most successful season in 2008, leading the squad to a 4-6 campaign and a 2-1 conference mark.

About UIndy Head CoachBob Bartolomeo:  Coach “Bart” takes over the reigns of the UIndy football program after six seasons as the Greyhound defensive coordinator.  Bartolomeo has over three-and-a-half decades of coaching experience at NCAA Division I-A, I-AA and II, but will be in his third season as a head man.  He led the Butler Bulldogs to the NCAA Division II playoffs in 1991, winning the Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC-- now the GLIAC) and posted a 14-7-1 record over two seasons.  He then logged 11 seasons at Ball State and a brief stop at Central Michigan in 2003 before taking over the Greyhound defense in 2004.

New League Announced for 2012: The University of Indianapolis will be one of the charter members of the newly-formed Great Lakes Valley Conference announced in January by league and school officials.  The addition of football to the league's sponsored sports beginning in 2012 will allow UIndy to compete as a full member, joining 17 other Greyhound varsity teams that battle for GLVC championships.  UIndy, which currently competes in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) as an associate member, will play its 2010 and 2011 schedules in that league. Indianapolis has been a member of the GLIAC since it merged with the Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference back in 1999.

GLIAC Honors: Five Greyhounds earned All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors, including four from the conference's top-ranked defense. Senior Tim Dury, senior Randall Courtney and junior Craig Ray were all first team honorees, while J.T. Owens and Mike Dum were named to the second team. Six Hounds also earned honorable mention accolades.

10th in Preseason Poll: Consider it motivation that the University of Indianapolis finds itself 10th in the annual GLIAC Preseason Coaches poll.  After a 4-7 season a year ago, the Greyhounds have some work to do to get back to the upper echelon of the league, but will rely on a top-ranked defense and young talent on offense to work on proving the poll inaccurate.
