Doug Collins put Illinois State on the college basketball map, piling up points for the Redbirds in the early 1970s before going on to success as a player, coach and commentator in the NBA. Since 1973, Collins has reigned as ISU's career scoring leader with 2,240 points. But Tarise Bryson is taking dead aim on that mark, and Collins has noticed.

If former Illinois State baseball player Neal Cotts never ended up injuring his leg his junior year in high school, he might have never made it to where he is today.

For a "Michigan man," as Bo Schembechler so famously described Steve Fisher when handing him the Wolverines' team prior to the 1989 NCAA Tournament, Fisher sure seems like an Illinois guy. He grew up in Herrin, prime coal-mining country in the southern part of the state. He attended Illinois State University and played three years of varsity ball there in the mid-1960s.

In 2007, Glenn was the East nominee for the CFL's most outstanding player award. His Winnipeg Blue Bombers were in the division final. ... Turning negatives into positives is something Glenn's been doing all his life. When he was a kid, he was told he was too small to play QB. When he went to high school, he heard it again. And again at Illinois State, where 5-foot-10 quarterbacks weren't considered top NCAA material.
