Thanks badgers, we needed that win.
Something that wasn't said about Sampson is how he got Gordon to change his mind and attend IU rather than Illinios. he hired gordon's dad's friend and Gordon's AAU coach. Nothing illegal about doing that, however, it was a sign of very bad morals and ethics to follow. Some have speculated that bobby knight will come back on an interim basis ala tom osborn at nebraska.
Until Sampson arrived, IU had never been placed on probation or had a major NCAA violation since 1960.
a side note - there was a show on the travel channel about the most unique McDonalds restaurants in the world. There is a McDonalds in Lafayette, IN that is a slow food sit down McDonalds with regular entrees and actual dinners. You order your food via a telephone at your table. they have waiters and waitresses just like a real restaurant with reasonable prices. Next time I'm in town, I'm going to check it out. West lafayette even has a bank designed by some guy named Frank Lloyd Wright. I thought you badger fans who don't think much of our small town would like to know that for future reference. You always seem at a loss for things to do when you arrive.
