CHARLESTON — Brock Spack pointed to a neighborhood beyond the confines of O’Brien Field as his mind raced back in time.
“It means a lot to do it here. I was here for four years,” said Spack. “I think my daughter (Alicia) was about this tall (knee level). She’s 33 years old and has two daughters of her own now. I used to drop her off right over there at the babysitter.”
With ISU’s 31-24 victory over Eastern Illinois on Saturday in the Mid-America Classic at O"Brien Field, Spack became the Redbird career leader in coaching victories at the same field on which he began his Division I coaching career as an assistant for former Panthers coach Bob Spoo.
