The new head of the A-League says theres no reason why crisis-torn Brisbane cant be as big an off-field success as Western Sydney or Melbourne Victory.Greg ORourke, who has commenced his role as Damien de Bohuns successor at Football Federation Australia, met the Roars new leadership for the first time at an intimate corporate event on Wednesday night in Brisbane.It comes as the club begins to recover from two months of turmoil, with the shrewd recruitment of former Socceroo Brett Holman this week a sign things are back on track under the leadership of managing director Mark Kingsman.ORourke, a former chairman of Football NSW, said he was surprised the three-time champions havent been able to garner stronger support in Brisbane over the years.But Im really excited that we can build it, he said.Theres no reason why we cant be as successful in Brisbane as we are in Sydney and Melbourne.Theres just as many kids playing the game, the game is played in the alternate season to our number one competitors.I see this as an open door but it requires a belief that were not going to see another year of what weve seen before.ORourke said the first step towards stability was a firm commitment from owners the Bakrie Group to remain in control of the club, which has been provided.Its understood the Indonesian conglomerate are staying put and wont entertain any buyout proposal worth less than $20 million.Thats likely to put an end to interest from a local consortium that was keen to rescue the Roar from a seemingly endless spiral of drama.Itll also displease some fans who are boycotting memberships while the Bakries are still involved.ORourke called for supporters to instead focus on football, support the team and trust that their off-field issues were being sorted.Leave the back end and the ownership to be sorted out by the suits, he said.ORourke, meanwhile, described as lunacy former A-League coach Miron Bleibergs plan for a second team in Brisbane.Bleiberg even said hed be willing to invest $500,000 of his own money in the cause, claiming competition would rejuvenate them the same way the introduction of the Western Sydney Wanderers did for Sydney FC.I think Queensland as a state has the possibility of having a second team but it also has a short history of second teams not working, ORourke said.You have to be very conscious of that.We want to expand the league but we want to do it when it makes sense.Adidas Schoenen NMD .

Adidas Continental 80 Heren Adidas NMD Dames Outlet . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action.BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana, mired in a three-game skid, is sticking with quarterback Richard Lagow.Hes the guy, coach Kevin Wilson said Monday when asked if Indiana would open up practice snaps for other quarterbacks.Lagow has been inconsistent at best and worse than that recently as the Hoosiers (3-4, 1/3 Big Ten) have fallen behind by double digits in the first halves of each loss. Indiana trailed 24-3 at intermission against Northwestern and lost 24-14.The offenses inability to get going early really hurt the defense, Wilson said. I dont think our defense had the time to make the adjustments. We get a quick three-and-out, they score, then we go quick three-and-out and they score again.Maryland (5-2, 2-2) visits Indiana on Saturday. The Terrapins have outscored opponents 54-14 in the first quarter and 133-66 in the opening half.This Indiana team doesnt resemble any from Wilsons recent past, when the Hoosiers were known for scoring in bunches but giving up even more than that on defense. This years defense is allowing 377.6 yards per game, 131.9 fewer than last year -- the largest improvement in the nation.But Indiana is just 96th out of 126 schools in scoring at 24.1 points per game. Lagow, a redshirt junior in his first season as a starter, has completed 147 of 246 passes (59.8 percent) for 1,975 yards with 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The Hoosiers are 118th in that latter category.Sophomore wide receiver Nick Westbrook, who caught 10 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown against Northwestern, suggests Indiana will spreaad the ball around to get more players involved.dddddddddddd And he insists its the little things that have held back the Hoosiers.One of the plays was when Rich missed me on a speedout, and it was a little thing on my part, Westbrook said. I was a yard or two too deep. It looks like Rich threw a bad ball, but its really my fault. Its a little thing that I have to pay attention to and be disciplined about.Indiana began October at 3-1 with a 24-21 overtime upset of No. 17 Michigan State. But the remaining games loom large for the Hoosiers: If Indiana can defeat Maryland, games at Rutgers (2-6, 0-5) and Purdue (3-4, 1-3) offer the opportunity to return to a bowl game for a second consecutive year, which hasnt happened since 1990-91.Yeah, obviously, we want to get the ball rolling, said senior guard Dan Feeney, who returned Saturday from a four-game absence with a concussion. We beat Michigan State and then have lost the next three. Its obviously not where we want to be. Weve got to strike fire and get the ball rolling in some way, shape or form.Junior defensive end Greg Gooch says his teammates are upset about their current situation.Oh, there is some anger built up, he said. I feel like every game is a must win. Every game is critical.Note: The Nov. 5 Indiana at Rutgers game will have a noon kickoff and be televised on the Big Ten Network.---Online:AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/ ' ' '
