Bowl Selections are confusing

November 18th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

I’ve been doing bracketology for over a decade now, so I’m as familiar with the selection process as anyone. After doing it for a while, you start to understand the confluence of “science” (RPI ratings, strength of schedule, etc) and “art” (the subjective selection process, the influence of conference ties in the selection room), and [...]

Is Sampson really hurting IU where it counts?

October 18th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

One of the major questions remaining from Kelvin Sampson’s most recent brush with NCAA law is how it will effect Indiana’s ability to recruit. We know that he has been slammed by the media, fans, and alumni alike. But if Sampson can find a way to continue his success on the court will the IU faithful back off [...]

The Games of the week

October 18th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

2-3-1 is not a fantastic week, but at least I have recovered from the IU loss, but not so much from the UB win. I will get to this in a bit. It is now apparent that the “old” IU football team has shown up and there is now zero predictability with this team. I [...]

NOW the Kelvin Sampson era has officially started

October 14th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

When I wrote about the Bud Mackey situation a few weeks ago being the official start to the Kelvin Sampson era at IU, I was wrong. That was just a kid getting busted distributing crack cocaine outside his high school.
Today’s news, however, really is the official start to the Kelvin Sampson era at Indiana, with [...]
