IU football team’s desire will quiet critics

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, July 15,2007 7:22 p.m.

IU is a big-time athletics school. This point is clear because of the construction on the North End Zone project that began recently, the board of trustees consideration of the construction of a new basketball arena (to be built once the approximately $130 million can be brought in to construct it) and a huge fan base that demands winning. But the size of IU athletics and its influence on the national market are not as high as those of Ohio State and Michigan. Those schools’ reputations? Great athletics programs that are home to one thing currently absent in Bloomington – a powerhouse football team.

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, July 15,2007 4:28 p.m.

Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends. This is a fitting way to begin a column written a week after seeing seven concerts, eating way too much and drinking several cases of beer with my friends at The Taste of Chicago.

Woodstock

By John Barnett and Paige Ingram · Thursday, July 12,2007 12 a.m.

Three days is a short enough time to present the spirit of the late 1960s and the pervasive sense of wanting to change the world through music, let alone four hours, but Wadleigh manages to do justice to that spirit.

By Brian Spegele and Sarah Neely · Thursday, July 12,2007 12 a.m.

This is not MxPx's best album but fans will find there are enough so-fast-your-head-can't-keep-up-so-your-body-has -to-do-the-work tracks to make up for the so-so lyrics.

Justice †(Cross): A-

By Benny Goldman and Julia Boriss · Thursday, July 12,2007 12 a.m.

If ass shaking is the new "walking on water", then French duo Justice is the second coming of Christ. On †, their oddly titled debut album, they prove this by playing epic electronic music that makes dancing seem like the 11th commandment.

Umphreakin Out! Making it into my favorite band's DVD

By Andy Shore and Shannon McEnerney · Thursday, July 12,2007 12 a.m.

Standing in the front row of the balcony, I knew I was in for a big night. Having arrived early enough to obtain these seats, I was able to soak in my surroundings. The theme of the weekend was the Big Top, and the stage was set accordingly. Camera rigs and cranes were visible on the sides of the venue and on the stage. Wheels were already in motion for what was set to be Umphrey's McGee's second music DVD.
