Ball State bout will provide answers

By Dave Leno · Friday, Sept. 19,2008 12:36 a.m.

This certainly isn’t the game for trial and error. No implementation of new arrangements, formations or schemes – nothing out of the ordinary. Look, it’s not like IU is dealing with Western Kentucky or Murray State.

IU quarterback Kellen Lewis gets away from Western Kentucky defenders to score his first touchdown on a 75-yard run in the first half during a game on Aug. 30 at Memorial Stadium. IU won 31-13.

State’s top QBs face off at Rock

By Lee Hurwitz · Friday, Sept. 19,2008 12:34 a.m.

Now the season really begins. Relatively untested in their two wins against Western Kentucky (31-13) and Murray State (45-3), the Hoosiers clash with IU coach Bill Lynch’s former team – Ball State. The Cardinals (3-0) have cruised in similar fashion and come into Memorial Stadium on Saturday as a recognized threat.

No boys allowed

By Kristiana Duvnjak · Friday, Sept. 19,2008 12:30 a.m.

The “no boys allowed” rule might apply to most women’s sports at IU, but not to the volleyball team. Sophomore Ryan Sullivan and junior Nate Jones have been practicing with the team since day one this season. “We met coach (Sherry Dunbar) last year,” Jones said. “I helped coach a Hoosierland team here at IU, and I met (IU assistant coach) Keith Schunzel one day, and, through a reference, they asked me to help out.”

I put a spell on you

By Mike Abrams · Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 12:03 a.m.

Expelliarmus. Wingardium Leviosa. Expecto Patronum. Lumos. Well, crap. I’m still in the dark, my computer is not levitating, I don’t have an extremely bright blue streak coming out of my pencil and my roommate is still holding the butter knife I tried to disarm him of. I guess my Harry Potter spells didn’t work. Now stay with me here.

Kotynski sisters set to face off

By Brandon Smith · Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 12:02 a.m.

When the IU women’s soccer team (4-3) plays at 7:30 p.m. today against Butler (3-4) at Bill Armstrong Stadium, one Hoosier player will be doing something she has never done before – play against her sister. Junior defender/midfielder Christie Kotynski will face her younger sister, Mandi Kotynski, who is a freshman defender/midfielder for the Bulldogs, a team IU has beaten the last seven times they’ve faced off. “It’s going to be a lot different,” Kotynski said. “I never really played against her. We did a one-v-one thing in high school, and that was really the only time we played against each other, and we really didn’t talk to each other on the way home.” Kotynski said she expects to see her sister often, considering they play the same position.

‘I never felt like I had to be vindicated’

By Zachary Osterman · Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 12 a.m.

Dan Dakich has regrets. He regrets putting a man on the ball in the Big Ten Tournament against Minnesota, a game the Hoosiers lost when Blake Hoffarber’s desperation shot dropped in the basket during the game’s dying seconds. “I’ve never lost not putting a guy on the ball,” Dakich said, “and twice I’ve lost putting that guy on the ball.”AUDIO: Full interview with Dan Dakich

Last season proved to be successful for the team, as they made it to the Division II National Championship game before falling to Davenport University.

Colts run game struggles in first 2 games

By Michael Marot · Monday, Sept. 15,2008 10:13 p.m.

Indianapolis wants to get back to basics. Sure, it can rely on Peyton Manning and his Pro Bowl receivers to produce big numbers and improbable comebacks. But if the Colts intend to win another Super Bowl, they know it will take more than Manning’s trusty right arm. They must begin running the ball effectively.
