The most prominent name on the new list -- defensive tackle Montae Reagor, who had an MRI on his sore knee Monday night. Coach Tony Dungy said the Colts were still waiting for a diagnosis but expected Reagor to rest for the next few days.

Coaches, players gain knowledge at IU soccer camp

By Matt Cunningham · Wednesday, Aug. 2,2006 6:47 p.m.

About 1,800 soccer players from across the nation and from as far away as Brazil, Japan and Luxembourg recently finished their IU soccer camp experience after completing their last of three summer sessions. The IU camp, which has been around for more than 30 years, is one of the most prestigious of its kind. Former campers include DaMarcus Beasley and Steve Ralston, both U.S. international players. "I think it is a good thing for the University," said third-year coach Mike Freitag. "It exposes a lot of kids to the University, not just soccer wise, but what sort of campus we have and school."

Patrick stays in IRL

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Seligman · Wednesday, July 26,2006 7:38 p.m.

CHICAGO -- New team. Same circuit. Danica Patrick is making a move, but she's staying with the Indy Racing League, for now. A switch to NASCAR will have to wait. Though she isn't ready to give up the speed of open-wheel racers for the popularity of stock cars, Patrick wants a change. One of the IRL's most popular drivers in years signed Tuesday with Andretti Green Racing, which has produced two straight series champions and last year's Indy 500 winner. "They're a very good team," Patrick said. "They have won races and championships the last couple of years. As a driver, that's something that sticks out and is something I want to be a part of."

By Alyson Brodsy and Joel Sanders · Wednesday, July 26,2006 7:28 p.m.

The Hoosiers added another weapon to their offensive repertoire with the signing of 6-foot-4, 235-pound tight end Jeff Sanders.

Sanders is not the only player to join the Hoosiers from Sacred Heart-Griffin as red shirt junior running back Kenni Burns also played there. In the championship win over Rock Island Alleman, Sanders caught 10 passes for 134 yards. In his senior year alone, Sanders caught 59 passes for 671 yards and three touchdowns. During Sanders' high school career, Sacred Heart-Griffin posted a 38-2 record and three straight Central State Eight championships.

Beautifully played

By Ryan Phillips · Tuesday, July 25,2006 11:58 a.m.

While watching the World Cup last week at a sports bar in town, one of those "Joga Bonita" Nike commercials blared on the oversized flat screen in front of me. As I watched Brazil's Ronaldinho expertly knife his way through a group of helpless defenders I overheard a guy ask his buddies how anyone could consider soccer beautiful. He argued it was too boring and seemed pointless. "They kick a ball around, what's beautiful about that?" As I suppressed the urge to haul off and deck the jackass -- had his collar been popped there would have been no restraining me -- I pondered just how ignorant Americans are when it comes to the real football. On the whole, we simply don't get what it means to the rest of the world and probably never will. I'm here to try and bridge the gap and tell you why I love soccer and how I think it can change the world.

Introducing the new Hoosiers

By Joel Sanders and Joel Sansers · Wednesday, July 19,2006 9:23 p.m.

Ben Chappell With the signing of Bloomington South's Ben Chappell, IU football coach Terry Hoeppner accomplished something that the basketball team has struggled with in recent years: signing in-state talent. Hoeppner signed Chappell after IU's football camp the summer before his senior year, when the 6-foot-3, 215-pound quarterback threw for 2,359 yards and 27 touchdowns. That effort garnered him Associated Press, Indiana High School Football Coaches Association and Bloomington Herald-Times first team all-state honors. Chappell also ran for seven scores as he led the Panthers to the Conference Indiana Championship. His senior year witnessed a couple of standout performances. Chappell tied for the best production in 2005 and set a new school record with a six-touchdown performance against Pike on Sept. 30. Known as one of the "Seven Blocks of Limestone" -- the seven offensive linemen in the 2006 IU class -- Alex Perry is a 6-foot-7, 251-pound lineman from Morris Community High School in Morris, Ill. Perry hails from a football family and brings with him plenty of success.

Pre-trial decision to be made in Hardy case

By Matt Dollinger · Wednesday, July 19,2006 9:11 p.m.

On Monday, IU wide receiver James Hardy appeared in Allen County Court for his second pre-trial hearing, stemming from his domestic battery charge on May 16. Hardy and his lawyer, Randall Hammond, made their second pre-trial request to Superior Court Magistrate Robert Ross asking for statements by the alleged victim, Kyra Nolan, to be stricken from the record. "We filed a motion to prevent the state from using a 911 tape recording," Hammond said. According to state law, a 911 tape recording cannot be used as a defense unless it is proven the 911 call took place during an emergency. "The call occurred well after the event and was not an ongoing emergency," Hammond said. "Therefore, the state will not be able to play the tape at the trial."

But she hit three 3-pointers against the Mercury, including one that gave Indiana the lead for good late in the game.
