NORMAL, Ill. – After playing in front of a crowd of over 70,000 Wisconsin fans in the season opener last weekend, the Illinois State football returns to the friendly confines of Hancock Stadium this weekend for its home opener against Valparaiso. ISU head coach Brock Spack will preview the upcoming matchup with the Beacons on Thursday at The Brock Spack Show, presented by Bud Light, live from Schooners in Bloomington beginning at 6 p.m.
Coach Spack will chat with Redbird football play-by-play voice John Fitzgerald and longtime color analyst Ted Schmitz about his team's performance against the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium and talk about what to expect from Valpo on Saturday. This week, they will be joined by player guest Sy Dabney and special guest Cody White, former Redbird offensive lineman standout and NFL alum.
Schooners is located at 810 East Grove Street in Bloomington and sits just off the corner of Grove Street and Clinton Boulevard. For those who can't make it out to Schooners to watch the show live, it will be broadcast on WJBC 1230 AM in the Twin Cities and streamed live on GoRedbirds.com and The Varsity Network. Portions of the show will also be broadcast live on the Illinois State Athletics Facebook page.
