Metro roundup: Miles, ISU football plans signing day event

Anonymous The Tribune Star Tue Feb 02, 2010, 12:18 AM EST

Indiana State head football coach Trent Miles and his staff will host a reception inside the Sycamore Varsity Club Room at Hulman Center on Wednesday, during which the football program will announce its 2010 signing class.

The west entrance of Hulman Center will open at 5 p.m. Fans will be directed to the lower level Varsity Club Room for the event. There will be a short program scheduled to announce the signing class at 5:30.

Miles and staff will be available to the media at the event. The event is being held in conjunction with that evening’s men’s basketball contest versus Illinois State. Tickets to the basketball game will be available at the signing day event. The game is slated to tip off at 7:05 p.m.



In other ISU news:

• McKenna Show to be shown live — Head basketball coach Kevin McKenna will participate in four radio shows in February at Beef O’Brady’s.

Hosted by Brian Fritz and Nelligan Sports Marketing on ESPN 1130 and 1300 AM, the Kevin McKenna Show will be broadcast live at 6 p.m. on each of four Mondays in February.

Fans are welcome to watch the broadcast live as Fritz and McKenna recap the previous week’s action, with outlooks for the Sycamores’ upcoming games and team information straight from the source. McKenna will not appear on Feb. 8, however, due to travel obligations.
