Leaving a legacy

By David A. Nosko · Thursday, July 7,2005 1:07 a.m.

Besides the usual public relations memo and the student newspaper plug, neither Mayer nor the student body knew what to expect from a golfer who first caught the "golfing bug" sometime during his eighth-grade year in middle school.

By Sam Story · Thursday, July 7,2005 12:23 a.m.

If there is a position that sticks out like a sore thumb for lack of experience on the IU football team, it well could be wide receiver. But don't tell them that. "We got talent. We got dominant players," said junior return man/wideout Lance Bennett. "But we got to be dominant." Dominance is not
