opps!



IU football player Dustin Haas stands in a depression at Memorial Stadium caused by Wednesday's heavy rains. The damage apparently is a result of pressure from rushing water underneath the artifical turf, breaking cement that supports the field.

The sunken part of the field, just past the south end zone, is perhaps 10 feet long by eight feet wide, and is close to two feet deep in spots. There are other ripples in the field running through the end zone to the 6-yard line.

No information was immediately available from IU on the significance of the damage or the cost of repairing it.
