Fever’s precious free agent signee Mitchell hopes to be a face of fresh success

5 days ago | tribtown.com | Lew Freedman

Probably the best thing for the Indiana Fever with Kelsey Mitchell other than her being in Indianapolis after a “whew” period of worry time, is that the WNBA team did not have to pay a tariff to China to get her back in Indiana. Given the ups and downs of the Trump Administration tariff world, who knew if Shanxi would have been smacked with a tariff tax for Mitchell to resume her basketball career in the United States.
Despite Fever “Now You Know” theme, it’s too early to know about WNBA season

1 week ago | tribtown.com | Lew Freedman

“Now You Know” was the heralded reveal of the Indiana Fever’s slogan for the 2025 season. The first reaction to this news was “Huh?” People aren’t sure what they are supposed to know and in these uncertain times nobody in the world seems to know anything from one minute to the next.
Fever set sights sky-high for new season

INDIANAPOLIS – The talk has changed. A year ago, the Indiana Fever’s stated pre-season goal was to make the WNBA playoffs for the first time since 2016. Now, as the 2025 season approaches, the announced goal is to win it all. Lining up consecutive overall No. 1 draft picks Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark, and re-signing Kelsey Mitchell as a free agent – all of them All-Stars in 2024 – hiring a new coach and restocking the roster, the Fever aim to become a powerhouse overnight.

Jace Fox was enthralled. It was his first encounter with a microscope and when he viewed the bird feather magnified, he said, “Whoa.” Upon further reflection, as he took repeated looks, he said, “That’s cool.”The 6-year-old from Seymour, shepherded into this first-in-his-life experience by family, might have been speaking for the entire landscape last Saturday at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge.
Americans have fallen for new-fangled kayaks they can guide without strain or pain

Ask him anything about kayaks and Gene Jensen will spout an encyclopedia’s worth of knowledge, though his overriding piece of advice for beginners is “Make sure you don’t drown.”That is a cornerstone philosophy and while a deep-felt concept Jensen cares about not everything there is to say about kayaking.
Greenland deserves to stay Greenland

When Vice President J.D. Vance stepped off his plane in Greenland recently, he was chilled to notice the temperature was minus-three degrees. Even though Vance was 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle on a March day, he did not wear either gloves or a hat. He did not expect it to be so cold. “Nobody told me,” Vance said.
Transfers, NIL, lead IU, college sports, to whirlwind of change

4 weeks ago | tribtown.com | Lew Freedman

The faces are interchangeable. The bodies are on loan. Commitment is only months deep. There is no building for the future, only for the moment. A college sports fan these days means allegiance to a brand, but only a transitory connection to the individuals on the team. If you devote your heart to a player, it is as likely to be as enduring a relationship as an eighth-grade romance.
The Butterfly Man can tell you all about thousands of winged creatures

When Ray Hatfield was about six years old, he became fascinated with the natural world and began collecting butterflies and bugs. More than a half century later, at the recent Safari Club International annual convention in Nashville, Tennessee, there were nearly 1,000 booths of exhibitors appealing to outdoorsmen. Only one, manned by Hatfield, sold mounted and framed butterflies and insects to the curious.
IU hoops teams undergoing massive roster changes through transfer portal

1 month ago | tribtown.com | Lew Freedman

A tradition at Indiana University is that basketball players do not wear their names on the back of their uniform jerseys, only the name of the school on the front. That might mean the players from the 2024-25 team are less likely to wish to retain their IU top for a souvenir as they head out the door in Bloomington. Instead of lovely parting gifts, IU will deal with laundry bills as every single player on this season’s team departs due to completed eligibility or likely transfer.

INDIANAPOLIS — Sydney Colson, the 5-foot-8 point guard who just joined the Indiana Fever in free agency for what may be the final run of her WNBA career, didn’t hesitate about why she chose the Midwest team as her new affiliation. “The most talked about team in sports right now, especially in women’s sports,” Colson said of the Fever, which became a nationwide phenomenon last season after drafting Caitlin Clark.
