Steve Monteleone takes over a football program for the first time in his long coaching career, and there's enthusiasm already in Year 1 for the Slippery Rock Rockets as they look recover from injuries and graduation losses.

Some of those Rockets —Aiden Shay, Cole Schwartz and Logan Schlobohm — hop on a special Butler Eagle Football Media Day episode of "Eye on Sports" to talk about their new coach, roster changes, goals and more ahead of the PIAA season. Then during our new segment, "Wingin' It," brought to you by The Beacon Hotel, we dive into some hard-hitting questions: are flats or drumsticks the best kind of wing? This episode is also brought to you by Robert Stephens Custom Jewelers and Troy-Alan Chevrolet Buick GMC in Slippery Rock.
