Federer triumphs to meet Hewitt

·

NEW YORK - Roger Federer sure knows how to kill a party. Federer's quiet brilliance tranquilized U.S. Open fans one night after they roared nonstop for Andre Agassi and James Blake. Watching Federer, the defending champion and top seed, roll past Argentine David Nalbandian 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 Thursday night was like watching a rerun of a mediocre movie that has one star, no plot and no drama.

Freitag faces familiarity in weekend tournament

·

Saint Louis University was IU head soccer coach Mike Freitag's team growing up in the gateway to the West. His father Charles would take Mike to all of the Billikens home soccer games. The current Hoosier coach would often go back to his neighborhood playground and imitate the players on Harry Keough's legendary teams -- winners of five NCAA titles.

'05 Colts: They're kind of a big deal

·

After walking around with my head hung and feet dragging for the past six months, I finally have a spring back in my step. "Excited to be back in classes?" you may ask. Not a chance. "Told some freshman wrong directions to Sycamore?" Not today, my friends. Last night began the most glorious part of the year: the start of the NFL season.

A war of choice

·

The date the United States began its counteroffensive against terror was Sept. 11, 2001. That was the day an ad hoc squad of citizen soldiers aboard Flight 93 rose to thwart terrorists. It seems fitting, even necessary, for me to make a few swift points about those who have drawn the wrong lessons from that day, if I may.

Minority migration

·

Just as endangered birds in the wild flock together, endangered minorities, in this giant bird cage called IU, flock together. Because the vast majority of IU is populated by Christian Caucasian Cardinals, an astoundingly prolific breed, all the religious, racial and sexual minorities tend to nest in groups on campus.
