By Aaron Beard and Charlie Gillingham · Wednesday, Aug. 25,2004 2:20 a.m.

Many IU athletes use the summer to rest and prepare their bodies physically for their upcoming seasons, but for the reigning Big Ten Golfer of the Year, the supposed "offseason" can be just as busy as the season.

Colts' Harrison has lofty goals

By Anthony Breznican and Michael Marot · Wednesday, Aug. 4,2004 9:45 p.m.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Marvin Harrison defines success his own way. He doesn't need to showboat after touchdowns, compare himself with other receivers or worry about his profile. In Harrison's world, anonymity is preferred to hype, productivity to publicity. Now entering his ninth NFL season with the Indianapolis Colts, the soft-spoken five-time Pro Bowler adheres to the same, simple philosophy with which he entered the league: Stay healthy, work hard, catch passes and win games.
