Oy, don’t go pro Eric - your bubba wants you to get an education

Earlier today, we told you the predictable news: Indiana guard Eric Gordon will announce Monday he’s going pro.
But now, TMC breaks the biggest news of the day: For my fellow Jews across the world, I’d like to welcome Eric into our faith.
You see, IU announced a 4:30 Monday press conference. Where is the school holding [...]

Report: IU’s Gordon gone

Shocker, eh? The Indianapolis Star’s Jeff Rabjohns reports frosh Eric Gordon is bolting for the NBA after just one season.
Gordon won Big Ten freshman of the year, was unanimously selected to the Big Ten first team and even made some All-America squads, but his spotty play after coach Kelvin Sampson’s forced resignation earned him a [...]

Midnight Madness from around the country …

Isn’t this when life begins: The start of college hoops season? Ah, pure sweetness … except for that place where they spilled Sweet’N Low all over the court. That was just a mess.
 
— At Indiana, The Indianapolis Star says close to 13,000 fans chanted for the star frosh, yelling “Er-ic Gordon” even before he came [...]

Sampson mutes the freshman, Brohm ok being back

Interesting stuff around the midwest today …
According to The Indianapolis Star, Indiana head coach Kelvin Sampson won’t allow the media to talk to freshmen this season. And while IU boasts four frosh, it’s clearly a way take some pressure of star guard Eric Gordon, the favorite for Big Ten newcomer of the year. Sampson said [...]
