FOOTBALL SIGNING DAY WEDNESDAY

Wednesday is the first day high school seniors can sign letters of intent with colleges and universities to play football.

While most of the national attention is understandably on the Division-1 BCS schools such as Nebraska, Chadron State fans are anxious to see who's coming to play for the Eagles.

The number of first-day signees at CSC has grown sharply in the past decade, and head coach Bill O'Boyle expects another large group tomorrow with 20 or more indicating they'll be returning their letters of intent.

O'Boyle won't know how many will actually pick CSC until those letters arrive in the mail or by fax, but he says the group that's made verbal commitments is very talented.

While the Eagles will be looking to replace college football's alltime rusher Danny Woodhead and 14 other seniors next fall, the vast majority of tomorrow's signees will redshirt next season.

CSC returns a seasoned club as it goes after its third-straight Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title. 59 of the Eagles' 74 lettermen from last fall have eligibility remaining, and there are also 44 members of the squad who didn't letter or redshirted.
