Reggie Bush or Reggie bust?

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Shaffer · Wednesday, April 26,2006 12:01 a.m.

Choose wisely. Sure, NFL general managers, coaches and owners are not in search of the Holy Grail -- but Draft Day may have more similarities to April's holy holidays than you'd think. It is a day full of hidden surprises, when NFL players fall from the sky, seemingly coming from nowhere. It is a day when teams can rise from dead-last place in their divisions. It is a day when the word "fast" is also a guideline to live by. It is a day when students become athletes after years of dedicated training.

By Chris Sauer · Tuesday, April 25,2006 11:59 p.m.

The goal was set at the beginning of the year: the IU softball team wanted backpacks. But not just any backpacks; they wanted the ones that say "Big Ten Tournament" on them.

IU places 13th at Lady Buckeye Invite

By Sam Story · Tuesday, April 25,2006 12:19 a.m.

At the start of the season, the message was simple from IU women's golf coach Clint Wallman. "We just want to score better with every round," he said. While the Hoosiers were steady in their play this weekend at the Lady Buckeye Invitational, there was only so much they could do against the best of the Big Ten and two Southern powerhouses in the University of Florida and Auburn University. The Hoosiers fired rounds of 306, 307 and 308. If a team could shoot as consistently, Wallman would never be convinced of it.

Teams captures 2nd title of season

By Kevin Kane · Tuesday, April 25,2006 12:18 a.m.

In its last tournament before the Big Ten Championships, the IU men's golf team won its second title of the season. Defeating runner-up Minnesota by four strokes, IU left East Lansing, Mich., as the 39th winner of the Fossum/Spartan Invitational. The team will now focus on the upcoming conference championship. Eight events into the season, the Hoosiers had not secured a tournament championship. After inclement weather denied the team the chance to play the third round and move up on the leaderboard at Pinehurst, IU has since tallied two championships in the past three events with a second-place finish as well.

By Chris Sauer · Tuesday, April 25,2006 12:17 a.m.

Playing its fifth game in four days because of a rain out earlier in the season, the IU softball team took on in-state rival Ball State Monday. The Hoosiers won 2-0, improving their record to 25-22 overall. "We did what it took to win," IU coach Stacey Phillips said. "Everyone is a little worn out from the past weekend, but we still pulled through for the win." Senior Megan Roark, pitching for the second consecutive game, pitched a three-hit shutout against the Cardinals with eight strikeouts. Junior Christy Wahl entered the game in relief in the seventh inning and recorded her first save of the season.

Hoosier skipper faces former team for 1st time

By Jake Brown and Jacob Brown · Tuesday, April 25,2006 12:17 a.m.

When IU baseball coach Tracy Smith glances right from his perch atop the steps of the Hoosier dugout today, he's going to see a team on the visitor's side with which he is very familiar. Scouting reports aside, Smith will know everybody in the Miami of Ohio dugout because he spent nine seasons as the head coach there, compiling a .590 winning percentage and two NCAA tournament appearances as the Redhawks' skipper. Smith took over the IU program after completing the 2005 season with Miami, and while he looks forward to the reunion with his former team, he remains focused on the task at hand on the field.

The team won its record-setting fifth championship in familiar fashion Friday as senior Jess Sapp edged out Kappa Delta's Lauren Ziemba by inches to seal the win. Friday's win broke a tie held with Kappa Alpha Theta for most Little 500 championships held by a single women's team.

'Poster boy'

By Chris Engel · Monday, April 24,2006 2:57 a.m.

In 2000, as a high school senior, Hans Arnesen came down to Bloomington from Minnesota and witnessed the Cutters lap the field en route to their sixth Little 500 championship. Five years later, in his final Little 500, the Alpha Tau Omega senior lapped the field 39 laps into the annual cycling race and never looked back. One hundred sixty laps later, despite attempts from Cutters, Dodds House, Phi Gamma Delta and Acacia to catch up, Arnesen took the checkered flag still in front by a lap.

By Michael Sanserino · Monday, April 24,2006 1:19 a.m.

After Lauren Ziemba crossed the finish line inches behind Kappa Kappa Gamma's Jess Sapp, Lauren couldn't help but smile. Even in defeat, she had never experienced a moment like the second-place finish she captured for Kappa Delta in the 2006 women's Little 500.
