Hoosiers go on ‘discovery trip,’ open fall season at Wake Forest tourney

By Aaron Beard · Thursday, Sept. 20,2007 12:01 a.m.

After about a week of practices, the IU women’s tennis team is gearing up for its first fall tournament, the Wake Forest Invitational, which will take place this weekend in Winston-Salem, N.C. While this tournament will not determine team rankings, it will eventually influence individual rankings at the end of the season.

Except for the obvious phallic jokes about the title, 'Woodcock' sucks.

'Mr. Woodcock' awfully limp

By Joe Livarchik · Thursday, Sept. 20,2007 12 a.m.

Maybe fans of Thornton will enjoy this movie solely by seeing him play a character that fits him so well. If that's the case, just wait for the DVD.
