Family Day had Hancock Stadium at standing room only and the tailgates all full. Governor Rauner was on hand as well as comedian Bill Engvall. Both teams came into the square off with records of 2 wins and a loss. The Redbirds loss was to Iowa. The Redbirds switched up quarterbacks most of the game with Jake Kolbe getting the first snap and Tre Roberson coming in and out. Jay Blunk, a graduate of ISU and a member of the Chicago Blackhawks stopped by with a big shiny cup often referred to as a Stanley Cup which brought a round of applause from the fans. Redbirds took the game to go to a record of 3-1 and 1-0 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

Renovated Hancock great place for post season play
The stands weren't quite full, but a lot of loyal fans from both Illinois State and visiting Northern Iowa were in the stands of the recently renovated Hancock Stadium for the first post season FCS football game in the renovated facility. Illinois State had not hosted a post season game in 15 years. By now everyone knows the results were tilted to the Redbirds who will move on to a game in Washington State as the NCAA FCS playoffs continue.

Illinois State Volleyball Redbirds take sole possession of 1st place in the Valley
On Friday October 17th, the Panthers of Northern Iowa arrived in Normal Illinois tied for 1st place in the Missouri Valley Conference with the ISU Redbirds in Women's Volleyball. They left that night is 2nd. The Redbirds came out hot taking the first, third and fourth sets of the match and also mounted a very good recovery comeback in the second set but falling just short. It was a match that lived up to all the hype and also pulled in a good Friday evening crowd to Redbird Arena.

Redbird Volleyball
This weekend I decided to follow some more Redbird Volleyball. It was early September since I had seen the Redbirds play and The Bradley Braves and Northern Iowa Panthers were in town.
Friday night, a larger than I expected crowd filtered into Redbird Arena. Bradley is always a favorite since they are a mere 40 miles away making them a rival at any sport. Their volleyball team has had some challenges the last few years, this year being no exception. A quick scan of the roster shows a lot of their on court staff at 5'5" or less. Not that shorter people can't play great volleyball, but it does leave the front line a bit challenged. Still the Braves managed to at least show that they were on the court. The Redbirds took the match in 3 sets. Kasey Mollerus received an award before play started for breaking the Redbirds record for most digs. She truly is one of the best I've seen. Rarely is she faked out by an opponent or out of position. Congrats Kasey!

On Saturday, the annual Pack the Arena promotion filled the stands even more for the bout against the Panthers of Northern Iowa. The Panthers are undefeated in the Missouri Valley Conference and have only lost 2 matches all season. In fact, coming into the match against the Redbirds they had only lost 2 sets in Valley play. They lost their 3rd against the Redbirds and had 2 more challenging sets only taking the first one by any number at all.
