Somehow no one was happy

·

In all reality, I should be running through the Arboretum naked right now. That's the promise that I made, should IU have beaten the Wolverines at the Big House on Saturday. And if you looked at the faces of any Michigan fan leaving the game, you would have sworn they had just seen the demise of their team.

IU's offense can't get going in loss

·

ANN ARBOR. Mich. -- In practice leading up to IU's game at Michigan Saturday, coach Gerry DiNardo challenged his cornerbacks. He told them whoever had the most interceptions would start the game against the Wolverines. That turnover mentality carried over, as IU had two picks and two forced fumbles in the first half against Michigan. Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, the offense couldn't capitalize on any of those opportunities. IU lost 31-17 in a lackluster offensive performance, despite a number of chances.

One by one, the people started to arrive. They came bringing their families, friends and neighbors to enjoy the first days of fall and, more importantly, the Festival Latino, a celebration of Latino heritage and culture and a six-year IU tradition. The festival, which was held in Dunn Meadow next to the Indiana Memorial Union, was sponsored by La Casa Latino Cultural Center of IU. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, La Casa works to give Latino students a place to come together as a community, said center director Lillian Casillas. "Our center started out with two goals. One, to be an advocate for Latino students, and two, to educate the student body about Latino culture and issues," Casillas said.
