Team heads to Ft. Wayne

By Matt Pera · Friday, Aug. 24,2001 12:27 a.m.

Not many programs in college sports are as successful as IU men's soccer. Head coach Jerry Yeagley has taken the Hoosiers to the College Cup 14 times in 28 seasons and has led them to five national championships. They consistently rank in the top five in the country and have produced some of the most talented athletes in the sport.

Hoosiers optimistic -- again

By Jason Recker · Wednesday, Aug. 22,2001 12:31 a.m.

Six offense players, four defenders and one head coach showed up for IU football media day last week. One could argue the 11 flashed more grins, showed more teeth and cracked more jokes than any other team attempting to bounce back from a disappointing 3-8 season and four consecutive campaigns of less than four wins. But optimism isn't hard to come by around IU's camp. And while expectations hinge on whether or not Tommy Jones can step in at quarterback, how well the defense can stop opposing attacks and how dangerous Antwaan Randle El will be at receiver, Cameron insists the door to a winning season can easily be flung open. "This is the best leadership we've had," Cameron said a day before his troops departed for training camp in Marshall, Ind. "We're close. We're piecing things together."

Thompson relying on backs for regular season success

By Michael Nalborczyk · Wednesday, Aug. 1,2001 9:36 p.m.

With Antwaan Randle El slated to spend about 75 percent of the snaps as a wide receiver this season, IU's running game will receive a huge makeover. The backs will be taking mostly handoffs on isolations from drop-back passer Tommy Jones, rather than option pitches that became a vital component of the Randle El-led offense of the past three years, according to offensive coordinator Hal Hunter. While the backs did have their moments running between the tackles in the 2000 season, the main part of their success was caused by the massive attention towards stopping Antwaan Randle El -- who was on pace to be college football's all-time leading rusher for a quarterback -- on the triple and speed option.

Yeagley: More than 25 years of success

By Ryan Gunterman · Wednesday, July 25,2001 11:59 p.m.

Every single freshman class in the 28 years of the IU men's soccer team has been to the Final Four. Five times the Hoosiers have come back to Bloomington with the national title. Since the soccer program began, IU has played more than 600 games, winning 85 percent of them. It's all happened with head coach Jerry Yeagley patrolling the sidelines. Yeagley sat down for an interview to talk about the past success of the Hoosiers and the success he feels is to come. But he said it all starts with the right attitude.

All fun and no play

By Ryan Gunterman · Wednesday, July 18,2001 9:13 p.m.

First off, Detroit is not a pretty city by any means. I'm sure they have good people and nice attractions, but the last thought in my mind as I drove into the city was, "Boy, this looks like a nice place to raise some kids." The suburbs may be a different story, but my adventure didn't sidetrack out into that part of the city. No, my excursion was simply focused on the new home for the Detroit Tigers -- Comerica Park. On the way to the park my friends and I passed the old Tiger stadium and wondered what might have been visiting that historic park, but we made our way a couple miles north up I-75 to see one of the newest meccas for the national pastime. From the outside of the stadium, it's a beautiful park. The outside design of the stadium is remarkably detailed with concrete Tigers heads with baseballs in their mouths protruding from the walls, and the huge Tigers greeting you as you make your way inside. Once you make it inside the park, you're greeted with a flurry of activity, ranging from hot dog/beer/souvenir vendors and e-mail stations to a carrousel and a Ferris wheel. My friend Matt said this park is a social activity surrounded by a baseball game. He saw this as a positive attribute, but I did not. All of the rides and activities should come secondary to the baseball game, but at Comerica, they forgot that people SHOULD come to see the Tigers play, not the Ferris wheel -- which 50 people got stuck on a few weeks ago, might I add. I guess when your team is so bad, you'll do anything to bring them into the stands.

ESPN to produce TV-movie 'On the brink'

By Ryan Gunterman · Sunday, July 15,2001 10:14 p.m.

During the 1985-86 men's basketball season, then-head coach Bob Knight gave author John Feinstein a unique look into a season of the storied basketball program. Feinstein got an all-access look into the workings of the Hoosiers season as they struggled to avoid a losing season. Feinstein put his experiences with Knight at IU down on paper and released the best--selling "A Season on the Brink: A year with Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers."

Talk of sports conspiracies incorrect

By Brian Longly · Sunday, July 15,2001 9:57 p.m.

Sports often times is a magical, fairy tale place where you see the old, aging superstar hit that one last home run or make that one last shot to win the game and ride off into the sunset as a winner. Sometimes the best material for movies are taken from and made about sports. Yet, in this day and age, any good happy story comes with people thinking that there is a hidden storyline going on underneath what we see, a conspiracy if you would.

Miller Park gives Milwaukee something to be proud of

By Brian Longly · Wednesday, July 4,2001 9:36 p.m.

Seems that these days, every baseball team is getting a new ballpark. In fact, I heard the Hoosiers are getting a brand new stadium with a retractable roof and all the creature comforts you could want. OK, so the Hoosiers really aren't, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that any day now, with the rates stadiums are going up. In Major League Baseball, two new parks opened up this year, PNC Park in Pittsburgh and Miller Park up in Milwaukee. While I have not been to Pittsburgh, if it's half as nice as Milwaukee's, the fans in "the burgh" have something to go see a game for, since their team gives them no reason.

Bourque retirement right thing

By Brian Longly · Wednesday, June 27,2001 10:22 p.m.

A few days ago, Ray Bourque announced his retirement from the Colorado Avalanche and the game of hockey. This coming shortly after Bourque and his fellow Colorado Avalanche came from behind to win the Stanley Cup in seven games against the New Jersey Devils (as this columnist so correctly predicted). I would just like to commend Bourque on his decision to ride off into the sunset with the Stanley Cup riding shotgun in his car.

Big shoes to fill

By Ryan Gunterman · Sunday, June 17,2001 9:39 p.m.

One of Kirk Haston's favorite memories as a Hoosier was taking the final three-point shot to defeat then No. 1 Michigan State at Assembly Hall. "I've got kind of a backload of memories that when I think of my career here that kind of go through my mind," Haston said. "It's hard not to look at the Michigan State game as the one that kind of sticks out the most. Just looking back at the tape and looking back at the pictures after the game of the fans' faces and my teammates' faces after that -- that gives me joy that I really can't describe." Throughout the 2000-2001 season, Haston took several shots in similar situations. Some fell -- at Penn State -- and some didn't -- against Iowa in the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game. Now that Haston has decided to forego his final year of eligibility and test NBA waters, who is going to be the go-to guy for the 2001-2002 men's basketball squad?

A plea from a Hoosier Basketball fan

By Brian Longly · Wednesday, June 13,2001 8:59 p.m.

He is set to make his decision Friday, a decision that will have an affect on his life for years to come. Should he officially announce his entry into the NBA draft and sign with an agent, thus ending his college basketball career, or should he announce that he changed his mind and wants to stick around for one last year? Kirk Haston has a decision that is more difficult than any I have had to make in recent memory.

Final games to decide Stanley Cup

By Brian Longly · Wednesday, June 6,2001 9:19 p.m.

Two teams stand on the brink of greatness and immortality, with only the other in their way. For the Colorado Avalanche, a win tonight and another in Game 7 Saturday night in Colorado, will make them the winners of the Stanley Cup, the championship trophy of the NHL. For the New Jersey Devils, all that remains for them is to win tonight on home ice to be the owners of Lord Stanley\'s Cup for a second straight year.

After taking the Big Ten Outdoor Championships two weeks ago, the women's track team captured seven All-American honors at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore., with three coming on the final day. It's the most since 1990 and a tie with the most All-Americans IU's women's team has had at an outdoor championships at once. The number brings the total number of women's outdoor All-Americans to 28.

Davis named coach of Big Ten squad

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, June 3,2001 9:57 p.m.

Just a couple months ago, Mike Davis was wondering whether or not he would be the next head coach for IU's men's basketball team. Not only will he be leading the Hoosiers into action next season, he will be the leader for the conference's best as he heads up the Big Ten foreign tours team in August. The trip will feature games in England and Ireland Aug. 8-19.
