It’s all over, Kelvin

February 22nd, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Katz is reporting on ESPN Sampson is gone, agreeing to a #750,000 buyout. Also in there, according to Katz, is the promise not to sue IU for wrongful termination. Dan Dakich is the new coach. And it’s over.
Unless the team boycotts tomorrow’s game. Then we start again.

February 22nd, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Alright, this will probably be my last post on this situation until late tonight, because it sounds like the soap opera is finally over.
Three separate media outlets are now reporting that there’s a press conference from Memorial Stadium at 6 PM tonight.  At this press conference, it is expected that IU will announce that Kelvin [...]

Players revolt, Media unfulfilled, Sampson worm still turns

February 22nd, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

I’ll say this for Indiana University athletics — no one, and I mean no one, does drama better than the Cream and Crimson. Everyone always blamed the drama on Bob Knight, but that’s selling IU short. They certainly appear to have their own special type of crazy going for them.
What the hell happened today? Just [...]

As IU readies to fire Kelvin Sampson …

February 21st, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

The jokes continue. I’m not sure it gets any worse than being mocked by UK fans for breaking NCAA rules.  That said, this is a pretty good use of photo shop. Credit this one to the creative kids over at the University of Kentucky’s fan message board Cats Pause for this one:

The cover should look [...]

Indiana University: Censorship that’s all for you!

February 16th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

We envy Josh Tucker: He’ll have a ton of great stories for his grandkids. And perhaps for his attorney, too.
Wednesday Assembly Hall officials told him to take off his “Bring Back Bobby” shirt or he’d be arrested. His response? Create this website, start selling these t-shirts with this on the front:

“I wouldn’t take my shirt off … they said if I didn’t I’d be arrested”

February 15th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

We’d say this story is just a first-amendment issue, but it’s as much one of authorities figures being amazingly, amazingly stupid. You remember this picture:

That’s Josh Tucker of Louisville wearing his “Bring Back Bobby” shirt to Wednesday’s 68-66 Indiana loss to Wisconsin. You probably remember a security guard asked Josh to take off the shirt. [...]
