What does it mean to be a Hoosier? There is no simple answer.
The Little 500 is an intramural sport. OK, now that I’ve stated that fact, I’m going to tell you all the reasons why, for the athletes competing in the race itself, it is far from an intramural sport.
Spring is in full swing, and the school year is quickly coming to an end. This means there are just a couple of more weeks to get your fix of college sports until August.
If there is one thing Hoosiers don’t associate with spring, it’s football. Spring to most Hoosier fans means Little 500, baseball and spring soccer games.
Athletics in the history of IU have always been strong. They were always respectable, high-class programs for all sports.
There is no Eric Young. There is no Caitlin Van Kooten. This year’s Little 500 is about the team, and that is how the race is supposed to be.
The right decision isn’t always the easiest. It almost never is. Thankfully, Athletics Director Fred Glass was able to make the right decision in the case of the women’s basketball program.
$960. That is the amount I spent for four years of student tickets for Indiana men’s basketball games.
It’s a pity when good things go bad. Usually, there is a cause for the turn, but what happens when good just goes bad for no reason? Apparently, for the women’s basketball program, nothing.
Can you feel it? It’s coming. With every passing day during second semester, plus the warming of weather, we get closer to the World’s Greatest College Weekend: Little 500.
Now is the time of year in which both winter and spring sports are in action. Wrestling and basketball are coming to an end while baseball and softball are just starting up. Here’s a rundown of all sports currently playing, sans men’s basketball.
It has been a long time coming. The sign has said “Coming Soon” for years now. People inside and outside of IU’s baseball and softball programs having been waiting for construction to start on their new facility.
At the beginning of the school year, this day looked like it could have been one of the best signing days for IU in recent memory. We were supposed to have the No. 1 pro-style high-school quarterback, Gunner Kiel, in our recruiting class. As most people probably now know, that is not happening.
At every basketball game, football game or athletic promotional event, there is something constant: the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders dressed in red and white — a staple at a school with no mascot — are now National Champions, as well. On Jan. 14, the Crimson all-female squad won the UCA College National Championship. That’s right. IU has a National Championship team on the campus again, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say many people didn’t even notice.
At this point, many people have probably heard of @ChronicHoosier. It is the uncensored and sometimes lewd Twitter handle that spits out facts, betting lines (although he says he’s never bet money on a game), comments and, most importantly, opinions about IU athletics.
This new year brings the opportunity to discover the other sports IU has to offer. It’s time to bring back the tradition of winning at IU.
“This Old Cub” finally got what he had always wanted, an induction into Cooperstown, Mass. In his sixteenth time on the ballot, Ron Santo became a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
This week proved to be an important one for the human resources departments, or realistically, athletic departments, for two drastically different reasons: The hiring and firing of figures at two prominent programs kept people interested.
In one of the biggest and most disturbing sports scandals in recent memory, it appears that as a coach and mentor, Jerry Sandusky abused his power by molesting young boys in his home, in locker rooms, in showers and on university grounds.
College basketball is, without a doubt, the best sport to watch as a spectator or as a fan. It seems like just yesterday that we had an 11 seed playing an eight seed in the Final Four. The excitement that comes with an entire season of college basketball is second to none.
