Double header

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Friday, Sept. 26,2003 1:55 a.m.

Off to their worst start since becoming a varsity program in 1973, IU, (2-3-3, 0-0-1) looks to right the ship when they welcome the Penn State Nittany Lions into Bill Armstrong Stadium for tonight's Big Ten clash. Tonight's matchup features the two teams predicted to finish 1-2 in the Big Ten this season, with IU atop, but it is Penn State (5-3, 0-0) entering the game ranked as high as No. 15 in the country and with a winning record. An experienced crew, Penn State returns 14 lettermen and seven starters from last season's NCAA Quarterfinal team. "I picked Penn State as a team to beat in the conference, they return a lot of strong players and I am expecting this to be a great game," coach Jerry Yeagley said.

His family was in town from New Orleans, La., for Freshmen Family Weekend, to see him play collegiate football for the first time in person. Among them was Green-Ellis' biggest critic, someone who routinely pointed out what he was doing wrong or what skills he needed to improve in football growing up.

NCAA claims alcohol the root of wild fan celebrations

By Jeff Fuldauer · Wednesday, Sept. 24,2003 1:21 a.m.

In the still-young Myles Brand era of the NCAA, the ex-IU president has focused on cleaning up the multi-million dollar industry that is collegiate sports, with efforts to return the "student to student-athlete." But according to a recently released NCAA report from the Sportsmanship and Fan Behavioral Summit, the problem of behavioral misconduct does not lie solely with those in the athletic department. The summit was created to discuss the growing problem of fans' behavior at sporting events when linked with alcohol.

By Alyson Brodsy and Erin McClam · Wednesday, Sept. 24,2003 1:19 a.m.

NEW YORK -- Suspended Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett sued the NFL Tuesday, asking a judge to throw out a league rule preventing players from entering the draft until they have been out of high school for three years.

By Steve Slivka · Tuesday, Sept. 23,2003 1:42 a.m.

Most student-athletes participated in their respective collegiate sport in high school. However, sophomore cross country runner Kelly Siefker is one of the exceptions.

During this period, Siefker played soccer and never participated in cross country prior to coming to IU.

WUSA folds on eve of 2003 World Cup

By Cory Steger · Tuesday, Sept. 23,2003 1:31 a.m.

Most of IU's women's soccer players will not continue to play after they graduate, but for a few, the next level awaits. The Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA) and the Women's World Cup have been the only places where women's soccer players could showcase their talents after college. However, the women's World Cup only happens every four years, and the WUSA recently folded due to insufficient funds to support a fourth season. Shaunna Daugherty, senior goalkeeper for the Hoosiers, said she is disappointed with what happened to the WUSA. "It's pretty unfortunate," she said. "The WUSA gave a lot of players an opportunity to play after college. Having the WUSA fold is a letdown for a lot of future players."

Decision has fans wondering

By Alex Hickey · Monday, Sept. 22,2003 3:01 a.m.

This is when you're going to hear from the experts -- when you're 1-3." These are the words of coach Gerry DiNardo in the wake of Saturday's 34-17 loss to Kentucky. And while I'm no expert, I'm more than willing to throw in my two cents (and maybe a few extra pieces of change).

IU contains All-American in loss

Monday, Sept. 22,2003 2:55 a.m.

Through the first quarter of Saturday's game against Kentucky, it looked like star Wildcat wideout Derek Abney was on his way to another offensively potent game. On Kentucky's third drive, the senior -- who came into the game third in Wildcat history in pass receptions -- caught one ball for a first down, took a reverse for 24 yards, and then split the IU defense for a 29-yard touchdown reception and the early lead.

Chances blown in loss

Monday, Sept. 22,2003 2:41 a.m.

Before the season starts, IU's coaches scout their first four opponents. This year, Coach Gerry DiNardo circled the UConn and Kentucky games as 'big' since they promised to be closely contested. The Hoosiers already lost to UConn, and Saturday, IU's offense couldn't capitalize on two first quarter possessions starting near the 50-yard line and saw a tight 13-10 halftime deficit fall apart in the third quarter into a 34-17 Kentucky run away in front of 34,829 fans at Memorial Stadium. "We went into this week saying this was a big game, a big rivalry and an important game," DiNardo said. "We put a lot into it. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves as coaches and on the players. I think we played a little bit better than we did at Connecticut, and I would say that is the good news."
