Women's golf finishes 6th in Wisconsin invitational

By Jeremy Rosenthal · Monday, Sept. 29,2008 12:02 a.m.

The IU women’s golf team knew the course in Wisconsin was going to be difficult, but still thought it could come out on top. And so, despite falling to a sixth-place finish Sunday in the Badger Invitational, IU coach Clint Wallman still took some positives away from the tournament. “We didn’t bring our ‘A’ game, but we were still in contention,” Wallman said. The IU coach added that competing well while not at the top of their games is something good teams must do.

Men's soccer felled by Gauchos

With three losses in their past four games, the UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos were supposed to be the team struggling on both sides of the ball Saturday night. Think again. The Hoosiers (4-2-2), who hoped to build on a three-game winning streak, fell to the Gauchos 2-1 after a lackluster first half put them in an early deficit too wide to overcome.

Friday Night Tailgate visits Bloomington

By Lee Hurwitz · Sunday, Sept. 28,2008 11:59 p.m.

Before the IU football team was handed a 42-29 loss to Michigan State on Saturday, IU fans were able to enjoy a little extra popularity in Bloomington when the Big Ten Network came to visit. The station broadcast its show, “Friday Night Tailgate,” live from the Sample Gates between 8:30 and 10 p.m. Rather than dissect the Hoosiers’ chances against the Spartans, the premise of the show is to have a little bit more fun with the school it visits.

Spartan offense outguns Hoosiers

Marcus Thigpen was the Hoosiers’ revolver in their shootout against Michigan State on Saturday. Unfortunately for IU, the Spartans brought two guns to the duel and outshot the Hoosiers 42-29.

Infractions and miscues loom large

By Lee Hurwitz · Sunday, Sept. 28,2008 11:56 p.m.

Rather than seeing nothing but green turf Saturday, the Hoosiers saw yellow-colored flags all afternoon. In what has become a common theme for IU the last two weeks, penalties have tortured the Hoosiers, coming at inopportune times. Upset at the loss but still proud of his players, IU coach Bill Lynch did not have much to say when it came to fixing those mistakes. “We’ll work on them,” Lynch said. Against Michigan State on Saturday and Ball State the week prior, the Hoosiers combined for 16 penalties at a cost of 166 yards, none bigger than sophomore offensive lineman Cody Faulkner’s hold in the third quarter against the Spartans. Down five points and just shy of two minutes remaining in the third quarter, sophomore quarterback Ben Chappell launched a pass to sophomore wide receiver Terrance Turner over the middle of the field that resulted in a 97-yard touchdown.

Changing to French currency

By Bonnie White · Sunday, Sept. 28,2008 11:20 p.m.

I was beginning to think the phrase “studying abroad” was a nice euphemism for a semester vacationing in a foreign city while still receiving college credit. That was until my classes started last week.
