MTV boy

By Alyson Brodsy and Julie Sobel · Tuesday, Oct. 1,2002 12:50 a.m.

I'm just an American boy raised on MTV/and I've seen all those kids in the soda pop ads/but none of them look like me ..." On July 24, 2002 a singer/songwriter by the name of Steve Earle composed the song, "John Walker's Blues," which initiated a controversy over the devastating events of Sept. 11. The song was scheduled for release in September but has since been postponed. The lyrics tell the story of John Walker Lindh, a 21-year-old from California who aided the Taliban. Some say he turned his back on our way of life to pursue a culture that he believed was more tolerant of him.

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:42 a.m.

The IU women's soccer team began its Big Ten schedule this weekend by going 1-1 on the road. Penn State defeated the Hoosiers in Happy Valley 3-0 on Friday, but IU rebounded with a 3-1 defeat of Ohio State Sunday. "Today the team earned an 'A' grade and an 'A' effort," coach Mick Lyon said in a statement after the win over Ohio State. "In talking to many of the coaches in the conference, the difference between the top teams and the teams in the middle of the pack is who finishes their chances. Today we really finished on our chances. Today was another step forward in the development of the program."

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:41 a.m.

Penn State came within 5:44 of breaking IU's 31 game winning streak in Big Ten play Friday night in University Park, Penn. But the No. 5 Hoosiers prevailed with a 1-0 double overtime victory over the No. 12 ranked Nittany Lions. The victory was the Hoosiers' tenth straight victory over conference rival Penn State and extended IU's winning streak to 32 straight conference games.

Undefeated Nittany Lions live up to their legacy

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:40 a.m.

The Hoosiers were riding high after six straight wins, unprecedented individual statistics and two straight wins against ranked opponents. But, the No. 9 Penn State Nittany Lions were just too much, and the Hoosiers lost 3-0 and fell to 11-3 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten. Penn State was no easy task for the Hoosiers, as the nationally ranked Nittany Lions have only lost five home matches since 1995 and are only three years removed from a national title. Bolstered by 2,003-person strong Penn State crowd, the Nittany Lions always kept the Hoosiers playing catch-up. While PSU managed to keep the Hoosiers down, they maintained respect for IU's play.

Team takes second place

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:37 a.m.

Two weeks ago the Hoosiers got off to a big lead in the Wolverine Invitational and were able to hold on to that lead and win the tourney. Unfortunately, this weekend IU stormed out to a large lead and was unable to hold off the competition. The team finished in a second place tie at the Lady Northern Intercollegiate in Iowa City, Iowa. Coach Sam Carmichael said the team's poor play in the final round cost them the title. "We played as bad today as we did good yesterday," he said. "We started out poor, I think we only had one player break 40 on the front nine. We played well on the back, but just dug ourselves too deep on the front and weren't able to overcome that. Kent State played very well today to win." Going in to the final round of the tournament, IU held a seven stroke lead, but Kent State shot a final round 299 to IU's final round 309, and overtook the Hoosiers for the title. Junior Karen Dennison, the No. 1 ranked golfer, according to Golf Week/Sagarin ratings, started the final round with a one stroke lead, but shot a 78 and placed second. Dennison finished one-under par, 218, for the tournament, a career best, eclipsing the mark she set two weeks ago at the Wolverine Invitational, where she won the individual title.

Team battles back after weather postpones play

By Alyson Brodsy and Josh Weinfuss · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:35 a.m.

First came the rain, then came the fog, and then came the self-unraveling. After the massive downpour Thursday night, the entire outlook of this past weekend's Northern Intercollegiate was altered. As the players awoke Saturday morning, a thick blanket of fog had settled in overnight, which postponed play until 10 am. When play finally began, the Hoosiers came out lackluster during the first round. Fortunately, for the Hoosiers at least, the lifeless performance lasted for only one round. The team went on to regain its composure and take fifth place alongside Ohio State for the weekend.

Cyclocross, the first event of the Little 500 Fall Cycling series, took riders over bales of hay, up and down stadium stairs and around parts of Bill Armstrong stadium Saturday. Cyclocross is an event aimed at raising awareness about Little 500. Riders risk injury for a chance to win a $250 scholarship. The two male teams are required to switch riders after every lap and are penalized if they don't complete an obstacle correctly. The women's race, which featured six teams, ultimately saw the Roadrunners win with ease. The Roadrunners team of seniors Jenn Wangerin and Katie Zeller cruised to the finish line in 24 minutes and 19 seconds, more than a minute ahead of their closest competition.

U.S. Grand Prix ending raises eyebrows

By Alyson Brodsy and Colin Nowling · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:32 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Controversy struck again on race day in Indianapolis as Ferrari dominated the United States Grand Prix, with their drivers, Brazilian Rubens Barrichello and German Michael Schumacher, finishing 1-2, respectively. Unlike this year's Indianapolis 500, when controversy swirled over who won the race, this time questions were raised regarding the tactics used between the Ferrari drivers that allowed Barrichello to come out on top. Ferrari's prancing horse controlled the Grand Prix from beginning to end as Barrichello and Schumacher led every lap of the race. Schumacher led after all but five of the 73 laps, including by 2.743 seconds with just two laps remaining. It was then that Schumacher began to slow down to allow Barrichello to close the gap.
