Thanks to Kent Sterling for the post on the retro-Little 500 pictures. Little 500- 1985 style and of course already the Greatest College Weekend.
According to the Herald-Times, former Colorado assistant coach Steve McClain has been named to the same position for IU.

While it's too late for a team to start training for this year's Little 500 race, the article by IU Sports Communication's Carrie Bregman has tips for people who want to start training for next year. Check it out.

So, in case you didn't know, this week is Little 500 week. (And if you didn't know, it's probably time to leave the Wells library.) In preparation for this weekend's races, we'll be posting some things to watch for the race.
You think sitting on your butt and wearing a full blown helmet and visor is tough? Try pumping your legs for 2+ hours and wearing Spandex. Now, we all know that the school an hour and a half north of IU Bloomington and their tri bicycle event has nothing on the Greatest College Weekend, but they are making nerdy improvements. Yesterday marked the inaugural Electric Vehicle Grand Prix in which 17 student teams from Purdon't, I mean, Purdue and IvyTech Community College raced. The race was developed by the Indiana Advanced Electric Vehicle Training and Education Consortium as an innovative way to educate students in the field of electric vehicle technology. President Barack Obama last year announced that Purdue would lead the consortium, a $6.1 million effort funded through the U.S.
The Little 500 race day crowd just grew ... by 50. The Brothers of Theta Chi recently purchased 50 Little 500 tickets for members of the Boys and Girls Club to enjoy the experience of race day. Check in with the IDS tomorrow for a full article on the philanthropic efforts of Theta Chi Fraternity.
With the news that Northern Colorado's Tad Boyle will become the new head coach at Colorado, there has been even more speculation that Colorado associate head coach Steve McClain could wind up on the IU bench. Now, a source has told The Denver Post that McClain is expected to leave Boulder for an assistant coaching job with the Hoosiers. The Colorado assistant has been with the Buffaloes for three seasons, following a nine-year stint as head coach at Wyoming.
Here's the press release: BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University Athletics will formally dedicate its new basketball development center, Cook Hall, on Sunday, April 25.
Teter and Phi Delta Theta got a 2-for-1 deal out of winning Saturday's Team Pursuit event. With the victories, both teams also secured the spring series title, and with that, the white jersey for race day. For the women, Teter was paced by junior Caitlin Van Kooten, the Individual Time Trial and Miss 'N Out individual winner.

The Hoosiers (10-27, 2-5) beat Minnesota (15-28, 1-8) 1-0 in Minneapolis, Minn. Junior pitcher Sara Olson (6-11) got her sixth complete game of the season and her second shutout of her career. Senior outfielder Jennifer Glueckert went one for three with an RBI triple in the top of the sixth inning. It was Glueckert's third triple of her season. IU will take on the Golden Gophers tomorrow at 2 p.m.
Not too much to talk about from this game. There were lots of offensive struggles, which players said was due to the split squad creating some uneven matchups. Freshman wideout Duwyce Wilson had a good game, though, hauling in 5 passes for 65 yards before rolling his ankle.
In the first of two matches this weekend, the IU Women's Tennis team ran their record to 14-6 overall and 4-3 in conference play with a 4-3 win against Penn State.

It's been a while since Tom Crean dismissed Roshown McLeod from his position as assistant coach. More than five weeks ago, actually. At this point, I'd be surprised if the Hoosiers don't have someone in the fold already as a replacement.
The IU men's tennis team took out its frustration from a 4-3 loss to No. 15 Louisville by pounding Vincennes University 7-0 on Wednesday night. Sophomore Jeremy Langer rebounded from a straight-set loss to Louisville's Austen Childs by beating the No.
What's this - a basketball post? Today marked the first day of the late signing period for college basketball.
