Johnson’s late surge cancels Edwards win

Thursday, Oct. 30,2008 12:31 a.m.

Carl Edwards did all he could last Sunday to bring Jimmie Johnson and the Chase for the Sprint Cup back into reach. But despite his best effort in winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Edwards made little ground on Johnson after the two-time defending champ finished with his No. 48 in second place on the scoring pylon. With 10 laps to go, a runner-up result didn’t look possible for Johnson.

By Jeremy Rosenthal · Thursday, Oct. 30,2008 12:29 a.m.

All season long, the IU women’s golf team has tried to put a tournament together where everyone fires on all cylinders at the same time. This week in Las Vegas, they managed to do that for one of their three rounds. The Hoosiers used a school-record, 11-under 277 third-round total to slide up the leaderboard and finish in 10th place on Wednesday in the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown at the Boulder Creek Golf Club. The three-round total of 860 also betters the school record by four shots.

Alternative voting style

Thursday, Oct. 30,2008 12:28 a.m.

Did you know there is a presidential election coming up Tuesday? I just found out about it when this old lady called me to tell me I should vote for some Nader guy. That explains all those damn commercials I fast forward through when I watch my DVR’d episodes of “Yes, Dear” every day. I decided I should look into this election thing. I figured it is kind of a big deal. But how do I make such an important decision?

IU men's soccer team held at home

Not even the fastest goal in NCAA Division I history could propel the IU men’s soccer team to its fourth win in a row, with the Hoosiers’ match against Kentucky ending in a 1-1 tie after two overtime periods Wednesday night. On the opening kickoff, sophomore forward/midfielder Andy Adlard sent a long ball deep into the Kentucky zone. After bouncing off of a Wildcat defender, Kentucky goalkeeper Dan Williams came out of the goal to attempt to scoop up the bouncing ball. IU senior forward Kevin Noschang took advantage of the miscue by gaining control of the ball and firing it past Williams for the 1-0 advantage six seconds into the game. “For the past two games, we decided to attack them right off the bat,” Noschang said. “I was just able to one-time it in. Obviously, when you get a goal six seconds into the game and can start a game up 1-0, there is nothing better than that.” Noschang’s early goal sparked aggressive offensive play from the Hoosiers in the first half. But while the team looked to continue its scoring attack, Kentucky evened the score.

“Saturday Night Live” has really hit the jackpot this year. Whether it’s Tina Fey returning to imitate Sarah Palin or Will Ferrell making a guest appearance to do one last George W., there hasn’t been an election in recent memory that has given the late-night skit show this much material.
