TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State and Eastern Illinois have agreed to resume their 115-year-old football rivalry with a four-year home-and-home series beginning in 2017 at home in Memorial Stadium.
The Sycamores and Panthers will meet four times between 2017 and 2020, the first contests between the two schools since EIU’s 31-0 win over ISU in Terre Haute in 2009. Overall, Eastern holds a 43-37-4 advantage over the Sycamores in the series that dates back to 1901.
“We are very excited to renew this long standing rivalry with Eastern Illinois, especially with it starting with a game at home in 2017,” said head coach Mike Sanford.
