Redbirds Win ISU Open


The Illinois State Redbirds won the ISU Open this weekend, with the Purdue Boilermakers taking second, newcomer Northern Illinois Huskies in third, and the University of Illinois Illini rounding out the top four. It was a tough day for some of the older teams, with Illinois' top squad failing to make the finals and Purdue just making the finals cut after the new University of Wisconsin-Plattville squad missed the flag pull in their last game by seconds.

 

The teaser for the NCPA DVD is up.

Since it's steaming it's just still shots, but the real deal will be full-motion video. More video will be taken at events this Fall. A big thanks to Rob Ortiz and the Penn State crew for putting the video together.
