strangely familiar....

and they're losing.

Yeah I watched the first half, got bored at halftime and turned it off. Looked typical to me. Not quite as much worthless pass-around on the perimeter, but the scoring and fouls looked familiar. IU with the lead now...up 5 with 3 min to go. And in the 50's. Nothing surprising there.

Congrats IU. Welcome to Sampson Ball.

Uh.....congrats to BUTLER for beating IU at home.
They beat IU in Indianapolis at Conseco which is Butler's hometown. Butler beat IU last year with Mike Davis at the helm too. Butler also is a pretty solid team that plays in a solid conference. The Butler Program has a had a lot of success over the last 10 years and as a program know how to win.

I watched it.

Yep, same old same old.

They stand around on offense. They went into a "prevent" offense with a late lead. Ugh.

They put together a few more games like that before Christmas, and the Hoosier faithful will be sending a UHaul to the Sampson homestead.

from their insiders board:


Your right Fourth. I was thinking the same thing. I think the team needs time to gell. Dickie V had one thing right tonight when he said the team is not used to playing the Sampson style yet and it will take time. I was impressed with the intensity the guys had in the early going but I think the foul trouble really frustrated them. They have to learn to adjust their game accordingly. I hate the loss but it's a very young season and it will take time.

Uh, lets see. 55 points in a game, 7+ minute drought, bad end of a 19-2 run and a blown 12 point lead? I'd say they've got the system nailed. ;)

Yeah, but for Butler to beat IU is huge in the state of Indiana.

Too all you loyal Sampson fans.............He put us on probation.....left us with few recruits and nearly killed the program..........time to quit singing his praises..............I feel asleep 10 times watching that debacle. Yes Butler is good.....He got outscored 20-8 down the stretch............That is HIS program.....get a lead and hope...........HE PUT US ON PROBATION......Geez

Probation is what Switzer left us on...not what Sampson left us on...I mean we still get to watch OU basketball on tv since we know nobody is going to go until it gets interesting enough!

Different times.........they don't give TV as a punishment anymore....it costs THEM (NCAA) money......They take visits and scholarships

If you think we are not on probation.........If you can't see what he has done to this program.....there is nothing I can say that will matter........so I won't

I know this man got us to NCAA tournament almost every single year He had a Final Four and a Sweet Sixteen....he had this program good enough that UCONN's and Duke's were willing to play us here. But on the flip side the team was boring which gave our fans a pass to totally not support them properly. Over Sampson tenure we were Top 25 I would say 80% of the time...Now take teams with a similar record and compare their fan bases...we never gave Sampson anything other than a paycheck..he never got any loyalty or respect and I don't blame him one bit for leaving us in any condition he left us because we didn't earn better.

I wouldn't despise Sampson as much if he hadn't screwed us as much as he did. I mean, he told us just a few days before bailing that he was here for good. Then probation, then loss of recruits, one of which is lighting it up for our worst freaking rival. I know some of that isn't entirely his fault, but it just doesn't matter. He gets credit for all the luck and good fortune he had here, so he should get credit for all the crap he left us.

And will our tourney performances and the frustrating nature of those teams, he just didn't have much leeway with me. :mad:

I'll be the first to admit I don't know half of what is going on, but I also tried not to bash Sampson's style too much. He was a really successful coach, but the few flaws he had were amplified for me when he left the way he did. I can forgive a lot, but he screwed us pretty bad, and was in a pretty obvious hurry to GTFO.

I played basketball once... but because of my lack of height, it was a match made in hell.

However, basketball is something I grew up with. I don't think you need to be a gifted athlete to understand a sport.

You know what's different about Capel? He is somebody that a young team like the Sooners can relate to--- nobody expects anything out of Capel this year, nobody expects anything out of the Sooners this year. Maybe NIT at best, but not the NCAA's. Capel will grow with this program and with this team and that's what makes them a perfect match.

Sampson in Indiana is another link in a Hoosier chain. That job might as well be the new UCLA, where you either win and win a lot, or you'll be out in a few years.
