Alaska State Accepts Hawaii Bowl Invitation
Posted on November 10, 2014 at 06:37 PM.
Warmer weather is coming for ASU, but not in Anchorage. Rather, in Honolulu, Hawaii in the form of the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. The 6-6 SnowCats will face off against the UTEP Battlin Miners. UTEP is coming in with an 8-4 record. UTEP features the sensational QB Alex Hooper. Hooper has amassed 2,659yds and 22td this season. Standout WR Andrew Sanders leads the team with 1216yds and 12td and is a deep pass threat. UTEP is a 6-point favorite.
5-star Prospect Making Unofficial Visit to ASU
Posted on November 10, 2014 at 06:22 PM.
5-star rated prospect Shaun Peterson, a 6-3 226lb student athlete from Coldwater, Michigan, is rumored to be on campus at ASU this weekend. A late addition to the 2015 recruiting class, Peterson was still up in the air about his recruiting process. Peterson has interest from Texas A&M, Oregon, Kansas State, South Carolina, and Notre Dame just to name a few. Oddly, no in state schools are recruiting him. Not Michigan, Michigan State, or any of the MAC schools have offered him though. One reason may be a second shoplifting arrest in 10 months. Peterson has plead guilty in the first case, and is set to appear for arraignment on the second charge in the spring. Peterson's character has come into question in the recruiting process and a lot of schools have steered clear. ASU head coach Shannon Tietsworth will take a long look at him I'm sure. Peterson is listed as an "Athlete", and has the potential to play most any offensive positions, as well as defense.

Posted on November 7, 2014 at 03:30 PM.
It wasn't easy, but even with 55,000 fans against them in rowdy Bulldog Stadium, The Alaska State SnowCats came out victorious on the final play of the game. ASU jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on a 43 yard INT by Hunter Norman. The bulldogs responded with 20 straight points to lead at the half 20-7. The ASU defense came out fired up, forcing a fumble by QB Brian Mitchell which was scooped up by ASU defender Donte Whitlock and returned 60 yards for the score! On the following possession by Fresno State, Mitchell was again intercepted by CB Terry Riley, and he also returned the INT for a touchdown. An Andre Thornton 35yd FG closed the 3rd quarter with ASU up 24-20. Some costly turnover by ASU led to 10 points by Fresno State. With 1:30 to play, True freshman QB Markus Cooley led a 72 yard drive the setup on 4th and goal from the 3 yard line of Fresno State. And with only 3 seconds remaining and ASU down 30-24, Cooley stood tall in the pocket and found WR Khaliff Carpenter open for a split second, firing the ball to Carpenter for the game tying TD!! Andre Thornton nailed the Extra point to nail down the victory for ASU and make them post season eligible with win #6.
Win at Fresno State can make SnowCats Bowl-eigible
Posted on November 7, 2014 at 03:13 PM.
Only Fresno State stands between the SnowCats and a bowl-eligible record this Saturday. Fresno State plays host to a 5-6 (5-3) Snowcats team eager to make a bowl appearance in their first season as an FBS school. Fresno State is 8-3 on the year and 6-2 in the Mountain West Conference. The Bulldogs run a spread type offense and feature a lot of speed in RB Elliott Thomas and QB Brian Mitchell.
A look at your 2013 SnowCat Team Captains
Posted on November 7, 2014 at 02:37 PM.
Offensive Captain: Jason Wade, Senior, 6-5 290lb from Shaker Heights, Ohio. Jason is the son of Jim and Connie Wade. He has 2 younger adopted brothers, Jarred and Steve. Jason enrolled in Alaska State after his family moved to Anchorage this past fall. Jason was a All-Ohio star at Shaker Heights, but turned down numerous D1 offers to help in the family shoe business. After 3 years of Junior College ball, the family business fell through and Jason and his family moved to Anchorage. His dad found a job as a supervisor at the local electric plant and his mom has a stay at home craft business. Jason is majoring in Fish Management with a minor in Business. He hopes to one day become a head football coach.


Defensive Captain: Roddy Malone, RS Junior, 6-1 218lbs fro Marathon, Florida. Roddy is the son of Roger and Caley Malone. Roddy played 2 years at USF before leaving sunny Florida after his dad was transferred to Elmendorf Air Force Base. Roddy decided to enroll at Alaska State and instantly improved the defense and was voted team defensive captain after the first practice. Roddy has a nose for the ball and is good in coverage as well. Look for him to lead the SnowCats in tackles this season.

Turnovers, Stingy Defense Key BIG Win 23-7
Posted on October 21, 2014 at 07:59 PM.
Sunshine brought out defense today as the 2-4 SnowCats upset the 6-1 Boise State team, a team that was looking at rolling over the lowly Cats. Heralded QB Collin Harrington was held to just 145 yards and a TD, while his counterpart Cooley was anything but cool, throwing for 202 yds on 22 of 31 passes and 1 TD. Cooley also ran for 49yds on 15 carries as the SnowCat defense shut down Boise State 23-7.
Alaska State lands First Recruit
Posted on October 21, 2014 at 06:23 PM.
Alaska State Head Coach Shannon Tietsworth received an early morning call today from Erik Thompson, a 1-star fullback recruit from Butte-Silver Bow, Montana. Thompson indicated he was committing to Alaska State via phone, mostly he said, because he wanted the recruiting part done to concentrate on his school studies. Thompson is the #37 rated FB in the nation, and is listed as a blocker/running back mix with good hands.
Aztecs Win in Blizzard over Cats
Posted on October 21, 2014 at 05:31 PM.
12 degrees and 100% humidity was the forecast at gametime in Anchorage today as the SnowCats played host to the Aztecs of San Diego State. The Aztecs, despite the snow, were able to run over the Cats 27-13 in front of a sparse and bundled up crowd of 7,600 faithful fans. Passing was at a premium this game due to the weather, and the Aztecs racked up 267yds on 41 carries and 2 touchdowns to only 120 passing yards. As a team, the SnowCats ran for 161yds on 34 carries to only 125yds passing. But it was Aztec junior RB Mike Cooper stealing the spotlight, running the ball 26 times for 174yds and 2 td. The SnowCats had no answer the stop the Aztec running game, but still kept the game close as true freshman QB Markell Cooley amassed 115yds on the ground and 120 through the air, but his 2 costly turnovers ultimately led to the Aztecs putting the game out of reach in the 4th quarter.

Washington State Rolls Over ASU
Posted on December 20, 2013 at 07:43 PM.
There were no handshakes after this game. At the final whistle, every player and coach at Alaska State simply jogged, not walked, off the field. Except for ASU head coach Shannon Tietsworth. He just stood, gazing at the Washington State team as they celebrated a 66-12 victory. And as he stared, he could cleary be seen telling the Washington state head coach, "I'll remember this" as he stood and pointed at the scoreboard before joining his team in the locker room. I believe we have our first rivalry. WSU QB Dwayne Malone set the school record AND NCAA record for passing yards against and over matched ASU squad. Malone threw for 731 yards, breaking the NCAA record set by Ty Detmer at BYU in 1990. Malone was 43/55 passing with 6td and 3int. He also ran for one score. 4 receivers had over 100 yards receiving also, totaling 763 total yards. Probably the most questionable choice was Wazzou leaving in its starters the entire game, and continuing to throw the ball until the very last 2 plays. Let the war begin.

Lets all welcome Alaska State!!
Posted on December 19, 2013 at 03:51 PM.
The northernmost city in the United States with more than 100,000 residents has been named the next school to join the FBS. Alaska State University, a school boasting barely 9,000 students has been accepted into the Midwest Conference - West division of football competition, a position left vacant by San Jose State. Playing in a stadium barely bigger than most high school fields, the Snow Cats have arrived. Finishing touches have been put on team uniforms, the field, and the coaching staff. Relatively unknown Shannon Tietsworth, a native of Pennylvania, brings his offense and coaching staff to often cold and frigid Anchorage.
Known more for the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, Anchorage will now boast its on college football team. Look out doggies, here come the Snow Cats!!
Oil/Gold/Crab Bring Families and Athletes to Alaska State
Posted on December 19, 2013 at 03:38 PM.
An influx of new residents spurred on by the ever-present oil industry, recently popularized fishing industry, and yes..GOLD. No folks, its not just on TV that gold is king, it's true in Alaska today more than ever. And people have taken notice. Just look at the roster at newly founded Alaska State University football team...26 student athletes alone from Ohio, another 11 in Pennsylvania, and 8 from all the way down in sunny Florida! All brought on by promises of fame and fortune. Families have packed up their stuff, and left family and friends behind, to start anew in Anchorage, Alaska.
Although those industries are the most high profile, military families can also be found in Anchorage. The U. S. Air Force base sees its share of enrolled athletes in the school.
