The Eastern Illinois University's Panthers football team competes in NCAA Division I and is a member of the Ohio Valley Conference. The Panthers debuted their football team in 1899 and play their home games at O'Brien Field, named after the university's famous Maynard O'Brien who coached the Panthers between 1946 and 1955. Both Tony Romo and Sean Payton went to Eastern Illinois University and played for the Panthers before joining the NFL. In their honor, the Panthers retired each player’s jersey number. The blue and gray Panthers' biggest rivalry is Illinois State University. Each year, the rival teams compete against each other in the Mid-America Classic. The century-old rivalry is the oldest in the state. The game is highly attended, and the winner takes home the traveling trophy, which features plaques with all previous winners listed. In addition to All-American teams and NFL draftees, the college team also had a head coach, Darrell Mudra, inducted into the College Hall of Fame.
