I like the nervousness. I know that it's supposed to get me going, but in the weght room I've got to do it myself."&nbsp;</P> <P>Chris isn't just a Bench Press guy or a Power Lifter. He works on every facet of strength and conditioning. Chris stated, "I work on flexibility hard before and after any type of training. Flexibility is an integral part of my total program. Coach Petersen does a great job of teaching me every phase of training. I pride myself on being a complete strength and conditioning athlete. I owe a lot to Coach Petersen."&nbsp;</P> <P>Chris has been building his strength for years. "I train hard all the time," said Chris with conviction. "I plan my life around my workouts. A lot of people plan their workouts around their life. It's not that hard if you approach it right. I just make sure my workouts are done, then I play. My family and my fiancee, Donna, support my workouts 100 percent. It would be tough to do all this without them. They understand my commitment."&nbsp;</P> <P>The "President's List" is reserved for those who meet high academic standards. Chris Butterfield made that list. "I try to get it done academically. If you work hard in the classroom or in athletics, then good things will happen. &nbsp;</P> <P>"I also advise kids to stay away from drugs and alcohol to be successful. Arcata is probably like every other place in that peer pressure does exist. You either fall in or you don't. I didn't. I used my head and good sense. I thought about the consequences.&nbsp;</P> <P>"In college it is the same thing with my attitude towards drugs. I hang out with the guys on the team. Drugs are not something wechoose to do. It's also a lot better if you don't abuse alcohol. Use your head.

We are getting kids like Adalius who want to work hard, want to get a good education, want to win and want to be unselfish. We have a solid nucleus of players who represent our University in a first class way.<br> There are only five programs in Division I-A who finished in the top 20 in football who are also in the top 20 in graduation rates. The University of Southern Mississippi is one of those teams. I think that says a lot about our program and where it is. <br>The Golden Eagles field teams in 16 intercollegiate sports. Roberts Stadium (football) seats 33,000 and Reed Green Coliseum seats more than 8,000. New facilities are in the works which include construction of a brand new field house and strength/conditioning facility.<br>  It is something that is long, long overdue, said Coach Bower,  and we're finally able to do it. It will especially help us from a recruiting stand point; it is going to make us much more competitive. <br>Coach Bower was also a great player and set
