IU battles Badgers for Big Ten title

·

Forget about coach Hep wanting 50,000 fans at "the Rock." There's another "Hoosier Nation Challenge" this weekend. The No. 20 IU men's soccer team battles Wisconsin at 8 p.m. Friday at Bill Armstrong Stadium, and senior midfielder John Michael Hayden wants 7,000 fans at the game. "That'd be nice," he said. If the Hoosiers win, they clinch the Big Ten regular season championship -- something they failed to do last year for the first time in nine years. "I'm putting out a request for fans to come out and support, wet or dry," IU coach Mike Freitag said. "Our guys like to come out to great crowds that we've had. It's important for us to get a Big Ten championship."

The IU cross country teams host the Big Ten Championships Sunday

·

This weekend, the IU women's cross country team has something to prove to the rest of the Big Ten. On their home course Sunday, the Hoosiers host this year's Big Ten Championships.

Todd Yeagley

Like father, like son

·

Not long ago, Todd Yeagley stumbled across a tape of the 1994 College Cup Championship game. He was in the IU men's soccer team locker room, looking for footage in the team's archives when he saw a copy of his last game as a college soccer player. He had never watched the game before. "I almost took it out," Todd Yeagley said, "and I said, 'No.'" The tape remains tucked away in storage, but Todd's memories of the game are vivid. He knows a victory would have been a perfect ending to his college career, a chance for him to give his father -- legendary men's soccer coach Jerry Yeagley -- another national championship to hang at the east end of Bill Armstrong Stadium.

Pac-10 beats Hoosiers, Big Ten

·

Entering the third Big Ten/Pac-10 Challenge in Brandon, Ore., the Hoosiers were looking to beat some of the nation's top-ranked golf teams. After Tuesday's 18th hole, IU finished in 10th, and the Pac-10 claimed its first-ever victory at the event. In the short history of the Big Ten/Pac-10 Challenge, IU has yet to finish higher than 10th. Despite having sophomores Seth Brandon and Drew Allenspach finish in the top 25 and sophomore Jorge Campillo tying for fifth, IU was unable to overcome the Pac-10's dominant play.

Swimming with momentum

·

When Kevin Swander joined the IU men's swimming and diving team as a freshman, promises were made. "I came here as a freshman under a rookie coach, and he promised the freshman class a Big Ten title," said Swander, now an IU student coach. At the time, IU had not won a Big Ten title in 17 years. The program, which had once produced Olympic champions like Mark Spitz and legends like James "Doc" Counsilman, had hit a rough patch, a title drought with seemingly no end.

Club offers high-level competition

·

Hitting a plastic ball with holes in it might seem boring. But then again, most people haven't played with the Whiffle Ball Club. While it might not compete with schools across the Midwest like other club sports, that doesn't mean the whiffle ball team lacks the intensity of other sports, said Justin Ross, the club's vice president.

Dear Crimson Crew,

·

Our win against then-No. 15 Iowa was great for our football program, our biggest win in nearly 20 years. But to me, this win was even sweeter because we got to do it front of our fans at "the Rock." If you weren't there, you missed a great celebration after the game.
