They have all been FALSE about Sampson being fired and will be FALSE until somthing comes out from the NCAA. So everyone just forget about the STUPID RUMORS!

That was on the scout board two days ago and I like commented on that terrible other site: If this suspension rumor was true, why would Sampson stagger the suspensions into the big ten season. We have three cupcakes lined up but we are just going to suspend 6 guys in a row throughout the season and during much bigger games. Great thought guys. And this is the 20th time Sampson has been on thin ice according to these rumors. Until the NCAA does something none of these Sampson rumors have a chance. But hey listen to Illini fans and they are going to announce a postseason ban for secondary violations tomorrow Don’t give any credence to that cobrabrigade crap.

I was just relaying the info from the printed story in the Georgetown paper. Sounds like Mr. Mackey had a little problem running his mouth before the fact to a reporter who took the story and ran with it. MPMIKE,

I realize the Mackey story isn’t true. I was just relaying the info from the printed story in the Georgetown paper.

Sounds like Mr. Mackey had a little problem running his mouth before the fact to a reporter who took the story and ran with it.

The Principal at the school had never heard of Bud Mackey when asking about the star player from Georgetown, KY. Mackey or his family could not be reached.
