By Rob DeWitte and Rob eWitte · Friday, Feb. 4,2005 1:06 a.m.

The Meyo Invitational is a focal point of the season for most teams in attendance as the meet consistently produces NCAA qualifying marks. IU must show more tenacity to get the job done, IU head coach Randy Heisler said.

By Ryan Phillips · Friday, Feb. 4,2005 12:31 a.m.

Why the Eagles will win

By Ryan Corazza · Friday, Feb. 4,2005 12:30 a.m.

Forget the numbers, the stats and the fact that Tom Brady has never lost in the postseason. Forget that Corey Dillon has made the best team in the NFL better. Forget that Bill Belichick is perhaps the best schemer of a coach to ever grace the NFL. Forget that Terrell Owens won't be 100 percent on Sunday. Heck, forget that the Patriots are a better team than the Eagles. Philadelphia will win the Super Bowl because this is the year of the underdog. The year of the dynasty killers.

US and Elle Girl magazines showed them off in fashion features, and Esquire magazine said, "We'd wear tshirthell.com" T-shirts. Hmm, I wonder if they meant the shirt about arresting black babies.

Racism's many colors

By Adam Sedia · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 11:28 p.m.

Now it's time to drop the bomb -- the racism bomb. But I'm not concerned strictly with black-white issues. The structure of racism -- both real and imagined -- is far more complex than that, especially in this country.

Heard, loud and unclear

By George Lyle IV · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 11:28 p.m.

Working in the news business can get you in trouble. When you spell a name wrong, there's trouble. When you appear to be biased, there's lots of trouble. If you get a story just plain wrong, you deserve whatever trouble you get.
