No short cuts! No Gimmicks! Just a group of coaches, players and support staff working everyday to be the best version of themselves for each other! The State of Illinois can be excited about Illini Football because of how it is being done, as well as what is being done! #FamILLy

00:00- So many blessings to be thankful for in 2022. The best of all came today! The newest member of the Illinois Football FamILLy! Everett David Ryba! Happy New Year! I-L-L
- Great weekend in Champaign! Football is alive and well in Illinois for sure. The relationship between the IHSFCA and the Illinois Football FamILLy is strong! Thanks to all the coaches that joined us. Looking forward to making the clinic bigger and better next year!
- As odd as this may sound, most Illinois high school football coaches and players will tell you that the best day to practice is Thanksgiving morning. Best wishes this weekend to all still practicing! Good day for all of us to count our many blessings! Happy Thanksgiving!
- 2 Weeks left of the IHSA Football regular season. Biggest 2 weeks of the regular season. Whether you are working toward a higher playoff seed, trying to get a playoff spot or looking at playing your last 2 games together as a team, I hope you play at your best and enjoy it!
- The brackets are all set. Good Luck to all 256 teams on your journey to Champaign! Enjoy the ride and memories!
- Shout out to all players and coaches on the final week of the Illinois High School Football season. Working through obstacles builds character! Special shout out to all seniors wearing their uniform for the last time. Savor all 48 minutes. #FamILLy
- It is becoming apparent that several HS programs may not be able to purchase helmets this fall if needed. If you are in need or may be able to help please let the IHSFCA or myself know. Let's make sure all who want to play can start with the equipment needed. Email or Tweet.
- Note of Thanks! As I was stopped at a school cross walk and watched a cross guard help a group of kids across a busy street when it was 10 outside it made me think. How many people started a cold car, bus or stood in the cold today to help kids learn. Hope your day was a success!
- Big week for Illinois Football! Spring ball getting underway and IHSFCA Clinic in Champaign this weekend! We are looking forward to football and the fellowship!
- Let’s Go! Illinois High School Football is primed for another special year!
- Excited to have the @IHSFCA1 Hall of Fame members plaques back on the wall at the Illinois Football facility where they can be proudly displayed! Special thanks to @IlliniAD @BretBielema @kentbrown for making this possible! #FamILLy
