The last edition of the Big Ten Picture featured the Iowa Hawkeyes. This week we take a close look at Indiana's arch-rival, the Purdue Boilermakers. BoilermakerBlog.com has compiled an in-depth preview of the Boilermakers, and we examine how well (or not so well) IU might match up.

2007-2008 was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Purdue Boilermakers, however the “Baby Boilers” came within one game of the Big Ten basketball regular season championship and won their opening round game of the NCAA Tournament. Purdue returns all five... [Read More]

| 2008 Indiana Soccer Camp offers superior instruction to developing players |
|

The success of this year’s Indiana Soccer camp was in no way reflected by Thursday morning’s miserable weather. For over 30 years, the camp has allowed students the opportunity to play soccer during week-long sessions with a vast variety of world-class players and coaches.
This year’s program continued the tradition by featuring two sessions and attracting over 650 players per session. Unlike most soccer clinics, the Indiana Soccer Camp gives students intense one-on-one instruction, averaging a 10-to-1 player to coach ratio.
Class of 1995 Hoosier and current University of Alabama Assistant Men’s Soccer Coach Ernie Yarborough has attended the Indiana Soccer Camp for 12 summers overall. “It’s always great for at least one week each summer to... [Read More]

IUplanet had a chance to talk today with new Hoosier Adam Replogle’s high school coach, Coach Ron Ullery of Centerville High School (OH).

| Self-imposed loss of two more scholarships is a great move for IU |
|
Jul 03, 2008 - 12:02 PM - by CalebMaxson
|
IU recently announced that it would be giving up another two scholarships for the 2008-2009 season thanks to an expected poor performance in the Academic Progress Rate. The Hoosiers are set to receive a pretty dismal rating thanks to to the number of players that have exited the program in one way or another this past year. This leaves IU with only one remaining scholarship for this season, and a total of three lost scholarships total.
While this may sound like a devastating turn of events, it's really not as bad as it sounds, and is actually a great move for IU. Because... [Read More]

| A Volatile Conversation: Race in America |
|
Jul 03, 2008 - 1:59 PM - by Alex Luboff

Note for the readers: This is a two part series on race in America. Part I deals with a lot of the misconceptions about racial conflict, and Part II deals with the new racism that we are experiencing as a country. These parts will be posted 3 days apart.
Title of Part I: "Part I: The Misconceptions"
As a member of the upper middle class from an overwhelmingly white suburb of Chicago, I really can't say that my ethnic and racial background is much of a story by itself. However, because of the way I've grown up, and because of some of the people and experiences that I've had in my life, I feel like it is proper, and timely during this election campaign, to talk about an issue out of my normal 'realm'; that being race in America.

| Election Meatloaf – American Style! (Side of Pork and Beans) |

Jun 06, 2008 - 12:45 PM - by Alex Luboff

Unless you've been living under a rock or taking I-Core over the summer, you've noticed that there's an election season coming up. Whether it is President, Congress, or your state officials, there's a lot at stake.
Our generation has got to deal with issues unlike any other preceding us--the threats of global warming and resource depletion, a nearly $10 trillion national debt, and a world in which the media distorts the real issues and stories in political campaigns. So, let's get to work!
1. First, a few fun facts:
- You vote for MANY more positions than the original U.S. citizens did. Originally, you voted for your state representatives and Congressman for just the House of Representatives. Senators were selected by your state government and the President and Vice President were elected by actual 'electors', or super elites that were wealthy landowners, and the two

| A political beggar's plea: Be informed. Be powerful. |
|
Jun 01, 2008 - 5:31 PM - by Alex Luboff
|
I've realized that I am a political beggar. Needy, greedy, or just plain seedy (hey-oh!), I ask people for a lot of things. I thought that I would explain myself in my returning article for IUplanet.
What I want to discuss is why this election is not just crucial for our country, but in fact why if this election doesn't go a certain way (or goes a specific different way), that our generation could become what I would call a "Lost Political Generation", thus screwing our children. So let's get to work.
Here's a highlight list (always easier to read) for the BEST CASE SCENARIO for the country:
1. After these June 3rd primaries (this Tuesday in Montana--Democrats, New Mexico--Republicans, and South Dakota--Both), Hillary... [Read More]

Real Emotional Trash - The Jicks
As his fourth release with his post-Pavement project, The Jicks, Real Emotional Trash yet again showcases why Stephen Malkmus will continue to be revered in both critical and fan music circles. Bringing out a grungier instrumental side that captivatingly contrasts with poppy vocal compositions, the band fills this release with 10 epic arrangements. Sounding like separate songs that are beautifully woven together by simple-yet-powerful guitar strains, each track establishes itself as a dominant entity and propels the album to new and amazing heights.
