IU looks to best slumping Buckeyes at home

By Brandon Smith · Friday, April 11,2008 12:34 a.m.

It’s up for grabs.

But you mustn’t forget this is the Little 500, and this weekend’s races will be the icing on the cake for a celebrated week. Every Little 500 enthusiast is smart enough to know that people can’t let the Al Rokers of the world dictate their good time. Those people are weathermen, not college students. They’re full of it.
