While the Illinois State Redbirds football team might play their home games in the rather uninspiringly named town of Normal, Illinois, the Redbirds have proven themselves over the years to be capable of far exceeding normal, producing some quite extraordinary results against top non-conference opponents over the years. The Redbirds football team has a long tradition behind it, having started way back in 1887, though the team was known, quite amusingly, as the Fighting Teachers until 1923. A change to “Cardinals” was initially proposed, but given that there were already far too many teams with that name in America (even nearby), the team was given the nickname Redbirds and it stuck. The Redbirds played in the Small College division of the NCAA until 1972, then joined NCAA Division II and later NCAA Division I. After Division I football split into I-A (now FBS) and I-AA (now FCS), the Redbirds tried their hand for 3 years in the top tier but moved down to Division I-AA (now FCS) in 1982, where they have played ever since. Along with 7 conference titles won in their early history, the Redbirds have managed to win 3 conference titles in modern times as well (1999, 2014, 2015) and have appeared in the I-AA/FCS playoffs on 8 occasions, though fans are still waiting eagerly for that much-coveted national title. In their most recent postseason adventure, in 2019, the Redbirds made it to the Quarterfinals, losing out to the North Dakota State Bisons in a tight 9-3 game. After a somewhat underwhelming 2023 season which saw the Redbirds miss out on the playoffs due to a poor 4-4 conference record, fans will be hoping to see the team bounce back in 2024.
