The Idaho Vandals are the intercollegiate athletic teams of the University of Idaho in Moscow. They are members of the Big Sky Conference in NCAA Division I, except for football, where they play in the FBS (formerly I-A) Sun Belt Conference.

The football team was an independent for the 2013 season due to a major wave of departures from the WAC that left just two football-playing schools. In July 2014, Idaho returned its football team to the Sun Belt Conference and the other sports rejoined the Big Sky Conference.[2]

The university's official colors are silver and gold, honoring the state's mining tradition. Because these metallic colors in tandem are not visually complementary for athletic uniforms, black and gold are the prevalent colors for the athletic teams, with an occasional use of silver, similar to Colorado, whose official colors are also silver and gold. When Idaho moved out of the Big Sky to the Big West in 1996, the yellow "Green Bay" gold was changed to metallic "Vegas" gold.[3] Yellow gold and black were the colors used by most of the varsity teams from 1978 to 1996, initiated by first-year head football coach Jerry Davitch's new uniforms for 1978.

On April 27, 2016, it was reported that the Vandals will become the first football program to voluntarily drop from the FBS level to the FCS level, beginning in 2018. All previous programs to have moved from FBS to FCS level did so because the NCAA downgraded their conferences.

Conference affiliations

After nine years, Idaho left the Western Athletic Conference in July 2014, following a large defection of members to other conferences. (The WAC dropped football after the 2012 season, as only two members with football programs remained, Idaho and New Mexico State.) The Vandal football team was an independent for the 2013 season, and rejoined the Sun Belt Conference as an affiliate member in 2014, after a decade-long departure. The other sports shifted back to the Big Sky Conference, rejoining after an 18-year absence. The Sun Belt Conference announced on March 1, 2016 that the affiliation agreement with Idaho and New Mexico State would not be extended past the 2017 season.[4]

UI joined the WAC in July 2005, moving from the Big West, which it had joined in 1996 to move to Division I-A after 18 years in I-AA. Because the Big West discontinued football after the 2000 season, the UI was a "football-only" affiliate member of the Sun Belt Conference for four seasons (2001–04).

Prior to July 1996, UI competed in the Big Sky Conference for 33 years; it was a charter member in 1963. The Big Sky has been a Division I-AA conference since I-AA's formation in 1978, but from 1963–77, the conference was a "college division" (later Division II) for football. Although a charter member of the Big Sky, Idaho maintained its "university division" (Division I) status, with its additional football scholarships, by playing a non-conference schedule of Division I teams. An exception came in August 1967, when the football program was involuntarily dropped to the college division for two seasons.[5] Idaho was elevated back to university status in July 1969[6] and continued as Division I when the three numbered divisions were formed in 1973. Five seasons later in 1978, the Vandals were dropped to the new Division I-AA, as the Big Sky moved up from Division II.

From 1922 through spring 1959, Idaho competed with the original eight schools of the Pac-12 as a member of the Pacific Coast Conference. The PCC disbanded in the spring of 1959 and Idaho competed as an independent for four years until the Big Sky was launched in 1963, though it did not play a conference schedule in football until 1965.[7]

Baseball

Intercollegiate baseball was played at Idaho through the 1980 season. During the first six years of the Big Sky Conference, the Vandals won four titles, in 1964, 1966, 1967, and 1969, under two head coaches, Wayne Anderson[10] and John G. Smith.[11][12][13] Two of those teams, 1966 and 1969, advanced to within one round of the College World Series, falling in the District 7 finals, today's "Super-Regionals" (Sweet 16). The 1966 Vandals, led by senior pitcher Bill Stoneman with a 0.45 ERA, entered the post season with a 31-7 record. They traveled to Greeley and eliminated Colorado State and Air Force,[14] but then fell at Tucson to Arizona.[15][16] In addition to Stoneman, the Vandal pitching staff included future major leaguer Frank Reberger of Caldwell. As a major leaguer, Stoneman threw two no-hitters for the Montreal Expos, in 1969 and 1972.

With newly promoted head coach John G. Smith, the 1967 team won the Big Sky, but lost in the first round of the NCAA playoffs at Air Force. The 1969 team finished the regular season at 30-7 and 10-2 in the Big Sky.[17] Idaho swept two from Air Force at home in Moscow to advance,[18] then lost in Arizona at Mesa to host Arizona State,[19][20][21] the eventual CWS champion.

The Big Sky expanded to eight teams in the summer of 1970, all with baseball, and split into two divisions for the 1971 season with a three-game playoff to determine the champion.[22][23] The two Montana schools soon dropped the sport and Boise State was moved to the Northern Division with Idaho and Gonzaga for 1973.[24] In May 1974, the Big Sky announced its discontinued sponsorship of baseball (and four other sports).[25][26] Southern division champion Idaho State dropped their team weeks later[27] and three-time conference champion Weber State would follow. The three Northern division schools (Idaho, Boise State, Gonzaga) joined the new Northern Pacific Conference (NorPac) for the 1975 season. (The NorPac included the larger baseball programs in the Northwest outside of the Pac-8, including Portland State, Portland, Seattle U., Puget Sound, and later, Eastern Washington.)

Ken Schrom of Grangeville was selected in the tenth round of the 1973 MLB Draft as a high school senior, but opted for college. Also a quarterback for the football team, he pitched for the Vandals for three seasons until selected in the 1976 MLB Draft following his junior year. (An injury to his non-throwing (left) shoulder during the previous football season had an impact on his decision to leave school early.)

After six seasons in the NorPac, both Idaho and Boise State discontinued baseball as a varsity sport 36 years ago following the 1980 season, citing budget constraints.[28]

Boxing

Under head coach "Limehouse Lou" August, the Vandals won the NCAA boxing championship in 1940 and 1941,[29][30] and shared another national title with Gonzaga in 1950 under head coach Frank Young.[31][32] (The Inland Northwest was a hotbed of the sport as Idaho, Washington State, and Gonzaga had top programs and won national titles.)[31] Due to budget reasons, the program was dropped 62 years ago in June 1954.[33][34] Collegiate boxing fell from favor in the 1950s as more and more schools dropped their teams.[35] The NCAA ended its sponsorship in January 1961, following the death of a Wisconsin boxer in the 1960 championships.

Field hockey

The final season of women's field hockey was in the fall of 1980; it was discontinued that December.[36][37]

Gymnastics

The final season for women's gymnastics was 34 years ago in 1982;[38] the program was cut during a state budget crisis.[39][40]

Skiing

The Vandal ski team was eliminated 44 years ago in October 1972 to economize,[41] and the Big Sky dropped skiing in May 1974, along with four other sports.[25][26]

Swimming

The men's swimming program had a 58-year history; it was discontinued after the 1986 season, 30 years ago.[42][43][44] The Big Sky dropped swimming a dozen years earlier in 1974, along with four other sports.[25][26]

After over a decade as a varsity sport, women's swimming was cut after the 1985 season,[42][43][44] then returned 19 years later in the fall of 2004 under head coach Tom Jager.[45]

Wrestling, fencing, rifle

Prior to World War II, Idaho also fielded teams in wrestling, fencing, and rifle.[46]

Facilities

The Kibbie Dome, home of the Idaho Vandals' football, basketball, track and field, and tennis teams.
MacLean Field in 1921; it was the home of Vandals' football from 1914 through 1936.

The University of Idaho has numerous on-campus facilities for the athletic program.[47] The primary facility is the Kibbie Dome, a 16,000 seat indoor stadium for football, basketball, indoor tennis, and indoor track. Since 2001, massive black curtains have encircled the basketball seating configuration and the arena is called the "Cowan Spectrum," with a capacity of 7,000. Underneath the football turf is a five-lane, 290-metre (320 yd) track and nine tennis courts. East end additions to the Kibbie Dome house the athletic department offices, locker rooms, weight room, and training facilities. The Kibbie Dome's concrete grandstands opened in October 1971 upon the site of the wooden Neale Stadium (1937–68). (photo)[48] An outdoor stadium for four years, it was fully enclosed in 1975; its playing surface sits at an elevation of 2,610 feet (796 m) above sea level.[49]

The historic Memorial Gymnasium (1928) is the home for women's volleyball, and also hosts early season basketball games. South of the "Mem Gym" is the Swim Center and the P.E. Building (formerly the new "Women's Gym"), which houses practice gymnasiums; these facilities were completed in 1970. The Mem Gym formerly had a pool in its basement.[50][51]

Memorial Gym Tower

MacLean Field, the campus' original athletics area, was on these grounds, south of the Memorial Gym, with the spectators on the eastern embankment. Football was played here from 1914 until Neale Stadium opened in 1937; the baseball team called MacLean home for another three decades, until the construction of the College of Education building displaced the infield after the 1966 season.(aerial campus photo - circa 1940) Prior to 1940,[52] the baseball infield at MacLean was in the opposite (southwest) corner and lacked infield grass.[53][54][55] It was covered by the athletic field house in 1949,[56] which was razed following the enclosure of the Kibbie Dome in 1975.[57] The new baseball diamond was constructed at the north end of campus[58] and first used in April 1967,[59] and named for Guy Wicks in May 1969.[60] Wicks (1902–68), a Moscow High and UI graduate, was a Vandal baseball player in the early 1920s, a head coach in two sports in the 1940s, and later an associate dean of students.[60][61][62]

Other outdoor facilities include the 18-hole championship UI Golf Course, directly south of the Kibbie Dome. The first nine holes debuted in 1937 and the second nine opened in 1970; the 1949 clubhouse[56] was replaced in 1969. West of the Kibbie Dome is the 400 m (437 yd) outdoor track and field stadium, opened in early 1972 and named for newly crowned Olympic champion decathlete Dan O'Brien in September 1996. A concrete grandstand at the finish line in the southeast corner seats approximately 1,000. The track complex was fully refurbished in 2011 and hosted the WAC outdoor championships in 2012.

In addition, there are outdoor athletic practice fields on the grounds directly east of the Kibbie Dome. Formerly, these grass fields were for varsity football practice only. SprinTurf (similar to FieldTurf) and lighting was installed in 2005 and the fields are now available for intramurals and general recreation. Six outdoor tennis courts are east of these fields, west of the P.E. Building, and four more are on the lower Administration Lawn.

Mascot

Idaho’s athletic teams go by a name earned nearly a century ago by a basketball team coached by Hec Edmundson, whose teams played defense with such intensity and ferocity that sports writers said they “vandalized” their opponents. The mark made by that 1917 team went far deeper than wins and losses on the court. In 1917, Harry Lloyd "Jazz" McCarty – a writer for the student newspaper, The Argonaut – tagged the team with a new nickname in a pregame write-up: "The opening game with Whitman will mark a new epoch in Idaho basketball history, for the present gang of 'Vandals' have the best material that has ever carried the 'I' into action." McCarty’s indirect suggestion stuck. By 1921, McCarty and Edward Maslin Hulme, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, succeeded in their push to have Vandals officially adopted as the nickname for Idaho teams.[63]

The current mascot is Joe Vandal.

Washington State

Since returning to Division I-A status for football in 1996, Idaho has rekindled its rivalry with Washington State, eight miles (13 km) to the west in Pullman. The annual game, usually played at Martin Stadium in Pullman, was renewed in 1998 after just two meetings in two decades, and is referred to as the "Battle of the Palouse." The Cougars hold an immense advantage in the series (71–16–3, .806), but the Vandals did win back-to-back meetings in 1999 and 2000, following 14 straight Cougar victories from 1966–98. The last game played on the Idaho side of the border in this series was in 1966, a mudbath won by WSU late in the fourth quarter. This game followed consecutive Idaho victories in 1964 and 1965, which had been preceded by nine straight Cougar wins.[64] Two of the recent games played in Pullman (1999 and 2001) were designated as Idaho "home games" to help reach existing NCAA minimum attendance requirements. The 2004 game was a designated Idaho home game for revenue purposes.[65] The 2003 game was played in Seattle at Seahawks Stadium. The contests from 2005 on were all WSU home games.

The game in 2007 was a 45–28 WSU victory, their seventh straight over the Vandals. At the request of Vandals head coach Robb Akey, a former WSU assistant who became the Vandal head coach in 2007, the game will be played occasionally rather than annually. The teams did not meet again until 2013, another WSU victory at 42–0. The next meeting is currently scheduled for the 2016 season in Pullman.

Boise State

Boise is 300 highway miles (480 km) south of Moscow, and many UI students are from the Treasure Valley (greater Boise area), the major population area of the state. Idaho had a major in-state rivalry with Boise State since 1971; BSU joined the Big Sky in 1970 but the football teams did not meet that season. BSU moved up (& UI moved down) to Division I-AA in 1978, then both opted up to Division I-A in 1996, joining the Big West.

BSU was 8–2–1 in the first 11 meetings, including five in a row from 1977–81. Idaho immediately followed with 12 straight wins from 1982–93 and won 15 of 17 before Boise State began the last 12-game winning streak in 1999, in which BSU dominated the Vandals. The composite score for the last dozen games was 613–213, an average BSU victory margin of over 33 points per game, which ranged from 14 to 58 points. Boise State won 13 of 15 games over Idaho since both teams moved up to Division I-A (now FBS) in 1996. Beginning in 2001, the winner of the football game was awarded the Governor's Trophy; Boise State won it every year.

Boise State left the WAC after the 2010 season to join the Mountain West Conference, leaving no future for the football in-state rivalry. As of December 2013, the 2010 game was the last in the series, with no future games currently scheduled. In basketball, Idaho now plays Boise State in a neutral site game in the Boise area, away from the Broncos' Taco Bell Arena. This is a response to Boise State's refusal to schedule Idaho in football.

Montana

For most of its history, Idaho had an intense interstate rivalry with the University of Montana in Missoula, approximately 200 miles (320 km) east. The teams have met for football 84 times (second only to the 91 games with Washington State). Idaho and Montana first played in 1903, and played every year from 1914–95 (except during the war years of 1918 and 1943–44, when neither school had a team). Montana was also a member of the Pacific Coast Conference until 1950, and a fellow charter member of the Big Sky in 1963. Idaho leads the overall series 55–27–2 (.667), but Montana has dominated the rivalry since 1991.[66] The Idaho–Montana rivalry was renewed as a conference rivalry in non-football sports when Idaho rejoined the Big Sky in 2014, and the football version will be renewed in 2018 or later (depending on conference scheduling) when Idaho returns to Big Sky football.[67]

The teams have played just five times since Idaho moved back up to Division I-A in 1996, with the I-AA Montana Grizzlies winning the last four, most recently in 2003. Since the departure of Idaho, Boise State, and Nevada from the Big Sky to Division I-A in the 1990s, the Montana Grizzlies have been the dominant I-AA (now FCS) football program in the West.

The winner of the Idaho-Montana game claims the Little Brown Stein trophy.

Idaho State

Idaho and Idaho State have enjoyed a moderate rivalry since 1963, the year ISU became a university and both schools joined the new Big Sky conference as charter members. The schools are separated by a significant distance, Pocatello in southeastern Idaho is over 500 road miles (800 km) from Moscow. Idaho has traditionally been dominant in this rivalry, particularly in football. The football rivalry was most intense and equal in the 1970s and 1980s, but the teams have played sparingly since the Vandals left the Big Sky in 1996, with Idaho winning all four contests. They last met in 2008 in Moscow, with Idaho winning 42-27. Since 1988, the Vandals have won 11 of the last 12 meetings.[68] This rivalry was also renewed in non-football sports when Idaho returned to the Big Sky, and will be renewed in football at some point after Idaho football returns to the Big Sky.
