Watching the clock

On Kelvin Sampson's career, that is.

I'll admit it . . . other than that inappropriate "rape" comment a thousand years ago, I never really was bothered by Bobby Knight. He won games. He was a moral guy. And, his players actually received degrees. He was demanding and old school and every once in a while his temper became the show. I think the folks in Indiana deserve what they're getting now.

I also think that Coach Sampson should fall on his sword and resign. He knows he did wrong. He did it over and over and over again. He was warned and sanctioned. . . . and yet he still did wrong. One of his assistants even took a fall for him . . . and he still didn't stop cheating. And, he lied about it all.

The lying is what will be Indiana's ticket to firing him . . . before the NCAA gets around to doling out new sanctions.

So, how do you look your family . . . your wife . . . your kids . . . your parents in the eye after being humilated. I mean, damn . . . Dickie V pretty much dedicated all of the College Game Day broadcast to trashing Coach Sampson. And, would any school take him with all his sanctions and proclivity to cheat? But, you know what they say. . . wal-mart is always hiring.
