By Alyson Brodsy and Elise LeBlanc · Thursday, Aug. 29,2002 3:18 a.m.

Wanted: Fans

By Alyson Brodsy and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, Aug. 29,2002 2:03 a.m.

There is nothing better than football Saturdays in the fall. Except if you go to IU. Because here, the parking lots are half-full, people who bother to tailgate rarely bother to go watch the game and a two-sided stadium is unnecessary because the fans could fit on one side. Well, except when we play other Big Ten schools. Their fans actually bother to make road trips.

Out with the old, in with the new. When Gerry DiNardo was named head football coach, he brought with him a new staff. With a new staff comes new philosophies, and the biggest change may occur on the defensive side of the football. Defensive coordinator Tim Kish brings a lot of Big Ten experience to IU, working last with Illinois in 2000. He brings a new style that will be a stark contrast to the previous seasons.

Being Gerry DiNardo

By Alex Hickey · Thursday, Aug. 29,2002 1:58 a.m.

This Saturday, Gerry DiNardo will take the field in his first game as coach of the IU football team. While he's not likely to drive the team into Memorial Stadium on a double-decker bus a la Lee Corso, DiNardo's road to Bloomington has been a wild one. He's seen Heaven, Notre Dame football, and the other place, Vince McMahon's folly, the XFL. Now he's here in Bloomington trying to lead the Hoosiers from football purgatory.
