siers dominated, they struggled to find the breakthrough. “Our guys left everything out there,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “I can’t fault one bit of effort in what we created. Notre Dame is a team that is tough to break, and we didn’t get a break today.” The Fighting Irish held on with resolute defense and brought the game into overtime. It was in the second period of overtime when freshman midfielder Thomas Ueland popped up to score the win for Notre Dame.

Tickets will be available for purchase at the IU Auditorium for the first TEDxIndianaUniversity event starting at 10 a.m. Sept. 4. Aligning with the speaker series’ model, TEDx will be coming to IU this fall in order to present “ideas worth spreading.” At 7 p.m. Nov. 13, students, faculty and community members alike will have the opportunity to hear ideas from the different perspectives of eight speakers. The goal of the program is to help communities, organizations and individuals spark conversation and connection through opening peoples’ eyes to seeing different perspectives, said IU junior and director of finance Dmitry Simakov. This event is the first TEDx event at IU and will hopefully lead to a recurring annual event following the initial startup, according to a TEDx release. The TEDxIndianaUniversity officers obtained licensing from TED as well as IU and have garnered support from a variety of schools and departments. At TEDxIndianaUniversity, innovative thinkers from both the University as well as the greater community will discuss their approaches to some of humanity’s fundamental concerns. TEDxIndianaUniversity seeks to enrich the college experience outside the classroom with inspiring talks and performances showcasing talent within the University and beyond, according to the release. “This summer when we decided on a theme, it involved reaching out to a lot of people

HELD BACK IU loses 1-0 after dominant performance in regulation and two shots off the crossbar By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

The ball was loose in the IU box. It looked like a Hoosier defender was going to be able to clear the ball and run the little remaining time off the clock. Instead, Notre Dame sophomore Blake Toewnes was able to get a foot on the ball and cross it into the box, where freshman Thomas Ueland headed the ball into the back of the net with 1:28 remaining in the final overtime period. The goal gave Notre Dame a 1-0 overtime victory against IU on Sunday in the Adidas/IU Credit Union Classic, despite the Hoosiers dominating possession throughout, and out-shooting the Fighting Irish 14-6. “We were clearly the better team

in almost every capacity, in almost every aspect of the game,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “We should have been better in the overtime.” While Yeagley said the Hoosiers were clearly the better team throughout regulation, he conceded Notre Dame was the better team in the two 10-minute overtime periods. IU was simply too tired to maintain the level of play it had displayed throughout regulation, he said. “I thought with some fresh bodies on the field, we could have been better physically to be able to win second balls and be able to press them a little bit better like we did in the first half,” Yeagley said. With fatigue comes mental mistakes and a lack of communication, SEE CROSSBAR, PAGE 9

No. 14 Hoosiers lose Adidas/Credit Union Tournament in overtime to No. 4 ND By Lionel Lim lalimwei@indiana.edu | @lionellimwx

The score line was not what No. 14 IU was looking for, as they went down with a 1-0 loss in overtime against No. 4 Notre Dame on Sunday afternoon at the Adidas/IU Credit Union Classic. The Hoosiers started the game ahead, dominating most of the possession and had more attempts on goal than the Fighting Irish during the regulation 90 minutes. IU had the chance to put itself ahead in the game as early as the eighth minute when senior forward Femi Hollinger-Janzen flashed a header across the goal, only for it to hit the post and go out. This would set the tone for the rest of the game. Though the Hoo-

Toy and comic expo brings superheroes, Jedi to town By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6

Rap Battle Spidey, or Jackie Brady, has a lot in common with the original Spiderman. Like Peter Parker, Brady lost his parents at a young age and was raised by his aunt and uncle. Both men wear a spidey suit, though Brady’s is accessorized with large spider-shaped bling and a white puffy vest. Instead of spinning webs, Brady’s superpower is spitting rhymes. “I’m a battle rapper,” Brady said Sunday at the Indiana Toy and Comic Expo in Bloomington. “I just love Spidey, and there’s not a version like this, so I thought I should keep it as fresh as possible.” Brady was not the only hero in the crowd of about 2,000. Many people arrived in costume for the

competitive “Best Hero” contest, which Brady won. The Indiana Ghostbusters carpooled from Jasper, Indiana, in a fully equipped Ghostbuster van, and Star Wars Jedi strolled through toy booths with lightsabers in tow. Stephen Laquire sported his $900 TIE Pilot Star Wars suit. Though he sometimes attends up to 12 conventions a month, Laquire said he’s always happy to step out in the heavy black outfit. Security once escorted him from a Walmart for shopping in full fighter pilot gear. “There’s a fellowship here,” Billy Cooper, the event’s founder, said. “I think everyone’s like-minded. We’re all nerdy about something.” Cooper started the event three years ago in Indianapolis. This is the first time the convention took place in Bloomington.

“Indy got really crowded and wasn’t fitting our mindset,” he said. “Bloomington has an artbased, independent, free-thinking community where everybody steps up. It’s been really great.” Cooper himself has a collection of more than 2,000 toys. His favorite is a 1978 Shogun Warriors Godzilla. “I look at toys as an art form,” Cooper said. “The sculpting and the creativity can be as elaborate or as simple as you want.” Many of the pieces displayed around the Bloomington Convention Center were indeed works of art. Vendors sold things such as colorful images of characters like Pee-wee Herman painted onto vinyl records along with intricate charcoal drawings of characters from “Breaking Bad” and “Game of Thrones”.

Shoppers looked at every kind of Lego character imaginable, paintings of their favorite comic book characters and a giant yellow rubber duck much too large for

any normal-sized bathtub. Fluffy, multi-colored monster toys were also available for snuggling. SEE EXPO, PAGE 9

Singer-songwriter-comedian combines loss and humor By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

Singer-songwriter-comedian Greg Tamblyn has this bit about laughter in solemn situations, and it’s a true story. Tamblyn, who performed for an audience of about 25 people Sunday evening at Unity of Bloom-

ington, was on a plane once, flying from Chicago to his home in Kansas City, Missouri. It was shortly after his father died, and he found himself in an aisle seat, sharing the row with a pair of older women. As it turned out, they were sisters, flying back from a third sister’s funeral. For 15 minutes, they told Tamblyn about memories of

their sister and their present sadness. He told them he knew how they felt. “I recently lost my dad, a couple of months ago,” he said. “Oh, you lost your dad?” they replied. “We’re so sorry.” “Yeah, I wrote a song about it.” “Oh, you wrote a song? What’s it called?”

“‘Chicken Soup for the Dead.’” They couldn’t stop laughing after that, Tamblyn said. “It was way more than that stupid joke deserved, but all that grief came out as laughter,” he said. Tamblyn, 63, has been combining music and comedy, to various ends, for most of his life. As a young child, he made up parodic

lyrics to songs he knew, and as a kid in the 1960s, he latched on to the novelty songs that crossed over to AM radio pop stations. In high school, he played in a rock band, but he waited until after college to start playing on his own. SEE TAMBLYN, PAGE 9
