[Joneslab]

Pope announce five nonconference games. Bellarmine is one...and so is Indiana.

Cool. I think we should play every state and local school as possible. It's good for the area when it happens.

[George]

We shouldn’t provide CPR to Indiana. Let them wilt away to nothing.

[KCKUKFan]

Boo.

Indiana isn't worth our time.

[Mr.Nezzer]

I don't see an issue with playing IU, bring them in beat the crap out of them and send them home.

I’d rather watch their program die. This game will be like life support, whether they win or lose.

I’ve said it before, but Coach Knight was IU. Have hardly been relevant since they ran him out of town.

Knight ran himself out of town.

On the other hand, IU did run Kelvin Sampson out of town, which turned out to be a bigger mistake than Knight.

Especially what he got fired for would be shrugged at today by virtually everybody, including the NCAA.

Yep. Today it would be. Then it got him listed as outlaw. Kinda wish Jerry Tarkanian could have seen some of today.

Jerry Tarkanian was deep in with the Vegas mob.

I'm not sure if it's quite the same as sending some texts.

Can you refresh my memory? Wasn't he just making some phone calls during a dead period?

He came to Indiana with a warning on him for violations at Oklahoma. When he broke the rules at IU, he lied about doing it.

It was similar to what happened with Bruce Pearl.

[DA#23]

Wasn’t there a little more going on with the recruitment of Eric Gordon?

Pearl was caught having Aaron Craft over outside of a recruiting period, was asked about it, and then lied. If he had just admitted to it he wouldn’t have had any meaningful punishment .

Was the Aaron Craft incident the infamous barbecue everyone jokes about?
