Re: Rick Greenspan gone at IU; University charged with ‘failure to monitor’

Have we now fallen so far that we cannot get up?

Tom Crean may want to run, screaming, to the airport.

Maybe we should tie him up, and throw him in a closet, for a while. I think he already deserves a raise.

I just don't want to fall so far, that we can't get up.

Re: Should IU block Jordan Crawford from transferring to Kentucky?

Well, this whole scenario blows my mind. I cannot imagine this. A true Hoosier would never even think of this as an option, because they would have grown up with Kentucky as a huge adversary. Many Hoosiers, especially those of us downstate, consider Kentucky as big a rival as Purdue.

None the less, if this is what Jordan wants, so be it. I miss him, and wish he would have stayed. But he came to play for Sampson, not IU, and it all makes sense when you view it that way.

The more days distance from McGees exit, the better I feel about Crawford staying. No over confidence though.

It is exactly how I felt, when I started my post graduate work at IU, after
attending undergrad there. All those places were so familiar and had such happy memories, but with all of my friends gone it was a very different type of lonely.

Why would Crawford want to stay now? No matter where he plays he will practically have all new team mates. So unless he hangs with Fink and Kyle, he probably feels like he has lost all of his friends.

The loneliest of times can be those where you are in familiar places, with only strange faces.

I am simply not sure how Jobe will work out. Uwe Blab took years to become something, and he had the time to do it. I hope Negedu gives us a serious look.

Because he is waiting until next week, being the end of the semester, I would say grades are a factor. He has to prove to himself he can cut it. Doubt is probably a companion of his. He seems like a young man that is trying so hard to make it. I want him to succeed for his own sake, and I know he would be a crowd favorite. He needs to spend this weekend in an out of the way library, hitting it hard, in some cubicle.

I recall Kelvin being fascinated at the turnout he got at Huber's. Here's hoping Tom feels the same way.
