Crean The Right Move

April 2nd, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

While I am not usually as negative as other IU alumni on this website, I must say my gripes about IU generally are directed toward the athletic office. Their usual mismanagement of Human Resources related issues must be some ploy to make sure their name gets on Sports Center in the hope that it will [...]

And Kelvin Sampson Has Broken My Heart.

Remember “The Simpsons” episode where Ralph gave Lisa the Valentine, Lisa told Ralph she didn’t “like, like him” and later Bart showed Lisa in slow motion where you could see Wiggum’s heart breaking frame by frame? This was how I felt yesterday when Indiana University released the major infractions they received [...]

February 8th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Joe Tiller is an upset man. Rich Rodriguez and Michigan absconded with Tiller’s prized recruit, a receiver out of Ohio named Roy Roundtree who had verbally committed to Purdue but signed a national letter of intent with Michigan on Wednesday.

Sampson “might not return” according to Sun-Times?

February 7th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Wasn’t sure if anyone else noticed this, but there was a passage in the Chicago Sun-Times game preview article for tonight’s Indiana-Illinois matchup that caught my eye:
