IU looks to best slumping Buckeyes at home

By Brandon Smith · Friday, April 11,2008 12:34 a.m.

Before Wednesday night’s game against Indiana State, the IU softball team had committed errors in eight straight games. Against Big Ten opponent Ohio State this weekend, the Hoosiers will look to stay error-free for a second game and begin to move out of the cellar of the Big Ten.

It’s up for grabs.

By Ben Homrig · Friday, April 11,2008 12:32 a.m.

Curious to hear Saturday’s weather forecast? The report is dreary one – high of 45, low of 36 with a 40 percent chance of precipitation. But you mustn’t forget this is the Little 500, and this weekend’s races will be the icing on the cake for a celebrated week. Every Little 500 enthusiast is smart enough to know that people can’t let the Al Rokers of the world dictate their good time. Those people are weathermen, not college students. They’re full of it.
