Not sure about the asswipes but I still like it. Here we are already naming names and no name has been better than KS. All the good ones are either taken or will not want to deal with our "supposed sanctions". I'm sure though that IU will give us what we want. Just like he gave you KS. Funny, I wonder if IU has negotiated with Myles Brand to lessen the blow if we fire KS. If not, then why even consider the point. I think IU needs to hold its cards on this one a little long? I really have a hard time believing that we still won't get slapped either way? bc CB,

Bertrand Russell I don't care that the majority of you seem to support the idea of firing Coach Sampson and hiring a interim coach. I have yet to hear that any single phone call gave IU an advantage and secured a LOI. Coach Sampson and Bill Belichick both lost 500k for their supposed infractions. Belichick lost a first round draft choice and Coach Sampson lost a scholarship. Belichick was voted Coach of the Ywar. Coach Sampson and qaall his assistant coaches and their wives abd children will swoon be unemployed. My further understanding is Coach Samps0n will not get a chance to explain or meet his accusers. I disagree and you're an asswipe if you don't agree with me LMAO The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.

Purdue has won 5 straight conference road games for the first time since the 1995-96 season. The Boilermakers have never won 6 straight conference road games. The Hoosiers have posted an impressive 32-1 record when scoring 70 points or more under head coach Kelvin Sampson. Indiana may have trouble reaching that number, as Purdue is allowing just 60.5 points per game on the season. Purdue is 11-1 ATS in its last 12 games overall. Purdue is 13-3 ATS in its last 16 road games. Purdue is 22-6 ATS in its last 28 games vs. Big Ten. Purdue is 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Indiana.

This seriously might cause Kent Benson to flip out and kill people, ninja-style. Perhaps Skiles could hire Luke Recker and Lawrence Funderburke as assistant coaches.
