2011 Media Day is in the books ... had a great day weather wise and good to see our media in attendance. But, now its back to football.

Impressed with the resiliency of this team. We've challenged and pushed them hard and their attitude is consistent. Good to see.

Solid first scrimmage for the team today. Saw good things on both sides of the ball and areas from improvement as well.

Our team voted Matt Brown, Cal McCarthy, Cody White and Eric Brunner captains yesterday. They made excellent decisions with those four.

All the talk, preseason predictions and hype are out the window tonight. It's time to take the field and find out who we are! #ISUATH

This team is leaps and bounds ahead of last year's squad at this time ... they look like a completely different team and that's a good thing

Today was the best scrimmage we've had since we got here ... big plays on both sides of the ball. Really happy with what I saw out there!

Congrats to Coach Glance on being named the new WBB head coach at ISU ... you will love working here and good luck!

Hear what Brock Spack had to say about this weekend's HUGE game against UNI today on WJBC AM 1230 and FM 102.1: bit.ly/vfC9rJ #ISUATH #RedbirdFB

The media and coaches have picked us third in the Valley preseason poll and we had four players named to preseason team.

The third place pick is nice, but it won't mean anything when we take the field Sept. 2 against UCM

Solid first practice at camp. I think we've added some playmakers at key positions and look forward to seeing them with pads on!

It was great to see both sides of the ball making big plays tonight. Gets me excited to see what they can do in full pads tomorrow.

We had one of the best Tuesday practices I've seen in our time here yesterday. Let's see how the player react today!

Illinois State Athletics Red Alert Chicagoland ISU fans. Head up to Four Farthings in Chicago for today's football game. #RedbirdFootball

Make sure to catch @ISUwbb tomorrow at WSU on @ESPN3 at 7:05pm es.pn/wbb-ISUvsWSU Birds enter the game at 13-6 (5-2 MVC)

An 42 yard ISU field goal puts the Redbirds on the scoreboard, with 1:27 left in the 1st quarter, 10-3 Eastern Illinois

Heading out to practice for our first workout of the spring. Excited to get back on the field and see how the players have improved.

We wrap up the third week of practice with a closed scrimmage tomorrow ... interested to see how both sides of the ball compete.

After a long summer of recruiting and preparation, it was great to get back out on the field tonight. Tempo was good for first time out.
