Our friend T.J. Brown is lamenting the recent death of conservative columnist William F. Buckley. Like he mentioned in the post, he attended a lecture Buckley gave at IU in 1994. I also was there, a lowly freshman who had no idea who the man was.
His death also reminded me of a blog argument T.J. and I had after the death of Hunter S. Thompson. I said, rightly, that Thompson was among the most influential writers in recent memory, while Brown argued Buckley was a better writer and significantly more important. Then he threw salt in my wounds, after claiming I lost the battle, by sending me copies of Buckley's "Lexicon" and "Miles Gone By."
The jury is still out. May both rest in peace.

It may be over
ESPN now is reporting that IU and Kelvin Sampson have reached a settlement. It stipulates that Sampson cannot sue the university for wrongful termination.
According to the report on SportsCenter, Dan Dakich will be named the interim head coach. A press conference is upcoming sometime tonight. A link to the Indianapolis Star's video feed of the press conference is available here. Right now its kind of boring, because it is video of a bunch of reporters hanging around the room waiting for IU officials to show up.
Several players, according to the Star and other sources, did not show up for practice today. But the Star is reporting Sampson wants all his guys to play against Northwestern tomorrow.
My own thoughts ... this may not be the best way to reach a solution in this matter. But I think IU needed to nip this one in the bud. The last thing the Hoosiers needed was for this issue to nag them through the rest of the season and into the NCAA tournament. And if the school did nothing and faced additional sanctions later, that would have been much worse.
It just may be better to get this over with so the team can move on. And the players better move on. Those players apparently skipping practice need to think about what they're doing. If they want to play at the next level, they have to be on the court NOW. Scouts are watching them in the games they are about to play. I don't think draft statuses will improve because they stood up for their coach.

They report, you decide?
The circus surrounding Indiana basketball and the fate of its coach is reaching nightmare proportions. Reports have ranged from Kelvin Sampson has been fired to no decision has been made. Another suggests players have threatened to quit if Sampson is removed.
Here are the media reports I've come across. Read them and decide for yourself. As of this posting, no IU press conference has been scheduled or an announcement made that I've seen.

Another tragedy
Another school shooting, this time at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Ill. -- my brother's and many friends' alma mater. It usually is a quiet campus and a quality institution of higher learning.
God bless you NIU.
The slain will not be forgotten.

Feb. 22 is the day of reckoning
IU President Michael McRobbie said today the athletic department has a week to investigate the allegations against men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson.
I agree with what was said on ESPN this afternoon. This time probably is going to be spent figuring out not what to do, but how to do it. I think IU knows Sampson's future with the Hoosiers, but will spend most of the time figuring out how it will be done. It is only a matter of time now.
McRobbie said during a press conference he cannot pre-judge what will happen.
In the meantime, the team is facing its two biggest games of the season. After the home loss to Wisconsin Wednesday, IU needs a win Saturday at home against Michigan State. Next week's game against Purdue may be for first place in the Big Ten. Hopefully, D. J. White, Eric Gordon and Co. will fight through the huge distraction.

On IU, coaches and phone calls
I expect a little more from Indiana University.
As an alumni, it is one of my duties to uphold the good name of the school that educated me. And the school has a responsibility to me to maintain its good name. That includes the athletic department, probably its most visible and recognized program.
As most of you know, IU men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson is facing big trouble after the NCAA alleged major violations involving the phone call scandal. They involve serious acts, making improper phone calls to recruits, and also deceiving the administration about it.
These aren't minor issues. These are major violations. Things that are not tolerated by the rest of the world. Indiana University should not tolerate it either. There are a litany of reports now calling for Sampson's dismissal.
Us IU fans and alums are trying not to long for the "good ole' days" when Bob Knight was the head coach, the team had a spot reserved for it in the NCAA tournament every year, and we expected to win Big Ten and national championships. But I suspect one other characteristic of the program we took for granted was no NCAA investigations. Not violations. Investigations. That means there was never any evidence to SUGGEST the NCAA should look into problems.
Knight taught us that we could demand academic, front office, and athletic excellence and get all three. It is alleged lack of integrity that most concerns me in this case. We're all innocent until proven otherwise, but if Sampson did lie about making improper phone calls, that cannot be tolerated in any way. Indiana University is not the type of school that will take its sanctions and just move on. We expect and demand better.
I want a respectable basketball team playing in Assembly Hall. But ultimately, I want a respectable coach and athletes in the community. I want someone running the team that I can be proud of.
In spite of his personality, I was proud of Bob Knight and the program he built. I'm proud of Kelvin Sampson's team, but I'm not sure I'm proud of Sampson.

Turfgate ends
Heinz Field will remain a natural grass surface, according to this report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It was the wrong decision. Enjoy your upcoming mud November and December mud bowls. Maybe they could paint the dirt or mud green just like at old Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Turfgate continues
The Steelers still haven't decided what to do about the now infamous grass at Heinz Field. The team now is removing the turf portion that was installed over the old field in November, but not because they are going to put in an artificial surface.
The original surface is a mix of grass and some artificial fibers, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
My position remains the same -- put in the field turf, especially if you plan to keep using the stadium for high school and University of Pittsburgh games along with Steelers contests. The players may say natural grass doesn't bother their joints as much, but they'll thank you during a monsoon or snowstorm in November, December or January, especially when their feet aren't sinking in the muck.
Update: In case you're curious, here is a link to my original post on the issue. It was on Lake Affected.

That's hard core
It's really, really, really cold in Green Bay right now. Last check was -2 degrees, according to Fox, with the wind chill in the -20s. The Packers and New York Giants are playing for a ticket to the Super Bowl in what is the third-coldest game in NFL history. Eli Manning, the much publicized, and criticised, quarterback of the Giants, is trying to ensure a perceived jinx does not bite him in the biggest game of his career.
According to the New York Post, Manning is making his fiance sit in the stands rather than in a luxury box. The Giants have lost whenever she has been invited into a box, according to the story.
That's a pretty big request, but if she's willing to do it, more power to here.
It's 3-0 Giants at the beginning of the second quarter. So far so good...
No pictures of Abby McGrew in the stands yet.

Rest in Peace
The Steelers family lost one of its greatest players yesterday (Jan. 17). Ernie Holmes, a member of the famed Steel Curtain that dominated the NFL in the mid- to late 1970s, died after a car accident, according to a report from KHOU TV.
Holmes was the defensive lineman who wore gold cleats, and if I remember my old NFL films correctly, also cut his hair to resemble an arrow. It always pointed to the quarterback. Holmes was 59.
Update: The Steelers official Web site had this excerpt of a story written by Myron Cope from after a 1976 game against the Browns. Holmes carried an injured Terry Bradshaw up stairs and on to the team plane by himself.

Basketball season is ready to begin for real now. IU is at Iowa Jan. 2.
Time for the Musings National Championship
It's time to decide a champion in the first Musings College Football Playoff. In case you don't remember, Ohio State and USC made it to the finals after thrilling wins over Georgia and Virginia Tech, respectively. Here is a recap of the quarterfinals.
The Orange Bowl at Dolphin Stadium in Miami will host the first National Championship game, which is scheduled for 8 p.m. on New Year's Day. It is a blockbuster match-up, a game many pundits expected at the beginning of the year. Ohio State, which ended the season number 1 in the BCS standings, faces USC. The Trojans at one point were No. 1, but succumbed to injuries and lost two games. They ended the year No. 7 in the BCS. It was enough to get into the dance, but it meant a tough road, a road game in the quarters and then a rough game with No. 3 Virginia Tech.
This game may be as good as it looks on paper. The USC offense is VERY potent, but so is the Ohio State defense. And the Buckeyes have the running game to keep Trojans QB John David Booty off the field. USC averages 31.3 points per game, while Ohio State gives up just 10.7 per game.
Ohio State rushes for an average of 201 yards per game and passes for about the same amount. USC, on the other hand, passes for 244 yards per game and rushes for 185 per game. That means USC will get a heavy dose of Chris Wells, which should keep the game close.
USC is going to score points, however, it's just hard to say how many. Some argue USC is a lot better than its record, while Ohio State is a lot worse than its record. USC wins this game, but it's close. Final score is Trojans 28, Buckeyes 21. It is only an upset on paper.
Note: The National Championship draws television numbers that rival the Super Bowl and the semi-finals draw much better numbers than the Rose, Sugar and Fiesta bowls will today.
All is right with the world. Happy New Year everyone.

Disappointing return to the post-season
I'm not satisfied with just getting to a bowl game. Frankly, I was disgusted with IU's play in the first half. While the offense played better in the second half against a Cowboys team that was losing interest, there really wasn't much to take away from it.
The Hoosiers continue to have the same problem: if the defense could at least keep the score under control, there is a chance to win. That didn't happen tonight, and IU lost.
I would even argue, the Hoosiers should be somewhat embarrassed. The Cowboys flat-out torched IU in the first half. All the drives were long and took almost no time. OK St.'s first four touchdown drives each took less than 3 minutes. The IU defense was never dominating, but at least make the other team work for it. They gave up yards in bunches and could never figure out how to stop the OK St. option attack.
This is a downer after the big win against Purdue, but it could indicate better things to come next year. Hopefully that will include some improved defense.
Happy New Year.

IU will try an onside kick...
But IU doesn't get it. First down Cowboys. The hand-off gains five. Second down hand-off gains a few more. Third down and IU calls timeout with 2:10 to go.
Auburn scores a touchdown in third quarter to take a 10-7 lead on Clemson.
The third down pass is caught at the 3. It's almost intercepted. The QB fumbles trying to score, but the Cowboys recover. Second and goal. Another hand-off, but no gain. IU calls timeout. The radio guys are happy IU outscored OK St. 17-7 in the second half, but that means nothing to me. Most of the points came when OK St. was in a prevent and trying to run the clock out.
Third and goal. The option play goes for a gain of only three to the 1. Fourth and goal and IU calls its last timeout. Finally the hand-off and the TD. That wasn't really necessary, but IU was using timeouts so I suppose OK St. had to do it. The Cowboys still had the starters in, and they were throwing the ball on the last drive up 15 with less than 2 minutes left.
The extra point is good. OK St. leads 49-27.
IU takes the kick-off to the 47. 41 seconds left. Lewis throws to Means over the middle for an nine-yard gain. Lewis throws to Hardy, who runs for a first down to the 30. 12 seconds left. Lewis throws to Bailey, who catches it for a TOUCHDOWN!! IU goes for a two point conversion and it's no good. OK St. leads 49-33. 1 second left.
Was that really necessary? IU still has to kick off. It's fielded and that's it. Final score: OK St. wins 49-33.

Another offensive possession
First down. 18 points down. 5 minutes left.
Lewis throws to Means for five yards. James Bailey makes a catch on second down for another five yards to get the first down. Lewis gives to Thigpen who runs all the way to the 25. Lewis gives to Payton, who is dropped for no gain. Second and 10. Lewis throws incomplete. Third and 10. Lewis runs it to the 14 for a first down. IU is called for illegal procedure. A five-yard penalty. 3:31 to go. First and 15 at the 19. Lewis throws for Hardy and its incomplete. Second and 15. Lewis throws incomplete again. Third and 15. Lewis throws incomplete. Fourth and 15. Field goal attempt coming. Kick is good. It's 42-27 Cowboys.
It's a two-score game with 3:08 to go.

End the agony
There is 7:02 to go. IU is down by three scores.
OK St. runs the kick to the 32 after the return man falls. The Cowboys are flagged for blocking in the back, taking the ball back to the 21. First down is a run for a half-yard loss. Second and 11, but the clock is running. Another run for a gain of four. Third and seven. Another run for a gain of six. Fourth down and another punt. 5:11 to go.
IU gets the punt at the IU 34. The snap was high and the punter was bumped, but no call.

Make it respectable
A score would be nice, but IU likely doesn't have enough time to tie the game. At least try to make it close...
First and 10 from the 20. Thigpen runs for a three-yard loss. Second and 13. Are they running the clock out? Lewis throws incomplete. Third and 13. Lewis runs up the sideline for the first down and goes out of bounds at the 38. I actually saw a highlight of the game on ESPN. The 15 seconds are all OK St.
Payton runs for seven yards on first down. Payton runs for a first down near the OK St. 40. It's a gain of 14. Means throws to Lewis after a reverse and it's a gain of 16. Another first down. Lewis runs to the 20 for a gain of five. 7:45 to go. Second down. Lewis tries to hit Hardy, but he can't catch it. Radio guys say the defenders have hands all over him, but the officials won't call it. Third down. Lewis throws to Means, who can't catch it, but a flag comes out. Pass interference on OK St. First and goal at the Cowboy 5. Lewis gives to Josiah Sears who runs for the TOUCHDOWN!! Extra point is good. OK St. leads 42-24. IU is flagged for celebration in the endzone and must kick from the 15 yard line.

IU is flagged for celebration in the endzone and must kick from the 15 yard line.
Time is running out
I think IU just doesn't have it today. Not only are they overmatched, but they aren't playing very well either. There has been nothing consistent about either the offense or the defense.
First and 10 OK St. at their 43 yard line. First down is a run for a gain of one. Second and nine. The pass is incomplete. Third and nine. The pass is complete for a gain of 10. Wouldn't the corners want to get a little aggressive here since they are so far behind?
On first down, another completion, but OK St. is flagged for delay of game for throwing the ball after the catch. Second and 18. The hand-off goes for a gain of four. Third and 15. The pass is a screen, but IU reads it perfectly. It's fourth and 15 and the Cowboys punt. It goes into the endzone. 10:31 to go.

I suppose IU could score 25 in this quarter
Teams have scored four times in one quarter before. Can IU stage a miracle comeback?
It's third and nine. The pass is complete, but he fumbles. IU recovers. First down Hoosiers. Lewis is sacked before he can throw. Second and 20. Payton runs for a gain of 10. Third and 10 at the IU 27. Lewis rolls left and throws incomplete. IU punts. It goes out of bounds near the 41.
