O.S. who?

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 21,2005 1:15 a.m.

#1 This year we've got coach Hep It can't be reiterated enough: Hep helps win games. There is something different in the air. The IU campus has caught a crazy case of coach Hep, and students are loving it. The difference between this year and the previous 10 years is people believe the Hoosiers can win every game, even the one against Ohio State this weekend. What the coaches think, the players echo, and how the players play reverberates through the student body. In his press conference Tuesday, coach Hep was asked whether he was a program builder or a gameday coach. Hep replied that a coach cannot not be one without possessing the qualities of the other. Hep's already proving that he can be a program builder. Come Saturday, against the toughest opponent yet, we'll find out how good of a gameday coach he can be.

By Alyson Brodsy and Ronald Blum · Thursday, Oct. 20,2005 12:46 a.m.

And one current trait that got them to where they are: deep starting pitching. "All the frustration, it's been worth the wait," White Sox vice chairman Eddie Einhorn said. "It's a generation-long wait. I mean, that's a long wait."

Shortstop makes her mark in preseason

By Michael Sanserino · Wednesday, Oct. 19,2005 12:49 a.m.

When freshman Stephanie Pellerito first stepped into a batter's box, she hated it. She was five years old playing tee-ball on an all-boys team with her brother in Santa Anna, Calif. She didn't even want to play in the first place -- her dad made her. Four high school all-league honors and two travel team All-America honors later, Pellerito is happily playing softball. And she's glad her dad made her stick with it.

Four IU freshmen unintentionally sat together at their first IU men's soccer game in 2003. Two years later, they're still in the front row of every home soccer match. Now as juniors, Matt Bueter, David Fridley, Nelson Spade and John Fischer have shirts on their backs proclaiming their group, along with the numerous other groupies known as 'Da Superfans.

Colts fans, don't say it. Don't even whisper it. I can handle the massive influx of Manning jerseys every Monday, and I can even handle all the shots at my beloved Packers (they'll still win the NFC Suck ... I mean North).
