State of the Union

By Anna Piontek · Sunday, Nov. 25,2007 8:02 p.m.

At my dinner table this Thanksgiving, there were three conventional Democrats, three people too far left to call themselves Democrats and one socially conservative Republican. Even though the Republican was outnumbered 6-1, the lefties felt uncomfortable when the topic of abortion came up in conversation, and the righty felt attacked. No inflammatory words were exchanged; rather, our Thanksgiving discomfort was caused by all parties’ apprehension and fear of the opposing political abyss. This is not an unusual situation. It is the state of the union.

Believing in 13

By Lee Hurwitz · Wednesday, Nov. 21,2007 12:18 a.m.

Somewhere, Terry Hoeppner is smiling. Whether he saw the game will forever be unknown, but what happened at Memorial Stadium on Saturday night vindicated a program that has not gone to a bowl game since 1993. A 27-24 victory over Purdue (7-5, 3-5) to win the Old Oaken Bucket and most likely take IU to a bowl game did more than just satisfy the Hoosier football team.
