JAVELINA ALUMNI

December 11, 2009

Thanks to Texas A&M- Kingsville fans who voted at www.coachoftheyear.com, Coach Atterberry has been named a finalist for the 2009 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award, which honors college coaches who demonstrate responsibility and excellence on and off the field.

If Coach Atterberry wins this award, he will receive $50,000 for his favorite charities and $20,000 for the Javelina Alumni Association – but he hasn’t won yet. There’s one more step Javelina fans can take to help Coach Atterberry become Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year.

Go to www.coachoftheyear.com between December 15 and 29 to again cast votes for Coach Atterberry to help him surpass the other finalists.

This is a unique opportunity for Javelinas to make their voice heard. Unlike other college football awards, fan votes for Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year truly count, contributing 20 percent to each coach’s final score. The remaining votes will come from College Football Hall of Fame coaches and players and members of the national college football media.

Once final votes are cast, the four winning coaches – one from each NCAA division – will be announced at a media lunch reception on January 6 in Newport Beach, California, in advance of the next day’s BCS National Championship Game.

Now is the time to show your Javelina Pride! Visit www.coachoftheyear.com from December 15 to 29 and cast your vote for Coach Atterberry.
