Sampson...SEE YA!!!

[Kahns Krazy]

I hate lawyers.

Sampson hasn't denied any of the accusations, only denied that he lied about them. The rule was he wasn't supposed to be on 3-way calls. He was on them. I don't give a rat's ass if he knew it at the time or not. If he didn't know, it's because he chose not to ask. I'm going to try this on my next speeding ticket. I didn't know how fast I was going because I never looked at my spedometer. Plus, I didn't read the speed limit sign, so I didn't know the limit anyway.

He is a cheater, and he knows it.

The seven days was not to get a report back to the Prez on how badly Sampson lied to them.

It was to find expert legal counsel and figure out, asATL suggests, avoid the debacle of the O'Brien case. Unless Indiana was foolish in its contract negotiations with Sampson, the due process problems OSU had with O'Brien should be considerably fewer with dumping Sampson and not owing him a dime. Someone is just dotting the is.

What I can't figure out is why Sampson was so foolish or so careless. 18 year olds are going to talk, their parents and friends are going to talk about a coach like Sampson calling them. It seems like such a huge risk compared to the possible gain. He must see himself as quite a phone seducer of young recruits, with a tremendous advantage over other coaches.

Let's hope this doesn't work out for Indiana the same way things worked our for Michigan when Freider left and Fisher took over.

Also, now that O'Brien has been vindicated he may want to throw his hat in the IU ring if for no other reason than to get back at tOSU. However, even with his vindication, IU will not probably want to take that chance after dealing with the Sampson mess.

Finally, can Sampson be a bigger idiot!!??

Apples to oranges, Vee.

All Freider did was say "Yes" to Arizona State midseason; while not an NCAA violation, it was bad timing on his part. That's why we get all of this "Michigan Man" talk from their fans and the media.

You missed my point x-band. I wasn't talking about how Freider left, but that he did and that Michigan won the NCAA championship that same year. My point was if Sampson gets booted will his replacement be as fortunate to ride the wave to a NCAA championship.
