Re Pelphrey:
Arkansas basketball coach John Pelphrey allegedly violated NCAA bylaws
Arkansas coach John Pelphrey allegedly violated Bylaw 13.1.1.1 stating that coaches cannot make off-campus contact with recruits before July 1. The agency retained a posted photo of the Arkansas coach with two recruits prior to the deadline. The NCAA has not ruled on the violations yet, and it is certainly not a major violation. However, it could very well be the nail in the coffin for Pelphrey at Arkansas.

Well, Indiana lost by 6 as the 11th seed in the Big10 tourney. Nice season. It's not as if they're a national program, with an enormous fan base, and a storied history, right? Oh, wait. That's exactly how it is. This fucking team should be FIFTH in the conference in its BAD years. Granted, the previous coach fucked them (and they fucked themselves in hiring a coach with a history of violations). But last in the conference is simply unacceptable. They need a big time turnaround (i.e. NCAA berth, 5th in conference) next year or their coach is a goner. It's a shame really.
Yeah, it is fucked up what has happened since The General left. IU needs to up some cash and get someone that can return the program to its glory... hell, I miss the rivalry. You guys used to be our biggest rivals, and it just ain't no fun anymore.

It's pathetic.
Just the other day in my class (I think you'll appreciate this), I used Bobby Knight to explain authoritarian governments and how they aren't inherently lacking in legitimacy. Yes, he was authoritarian and, in all likelihood, a dick...but he got results, won titles, and was immensely popular. If he ran for governor, he'd probably win. If he ran for dictator of Indiana for life...he'd probably win. I went to a Hoosiers game last December, and despite the fact that he was fired from the job, they still run footage of him in the pre-game, "get the crowd going" montage.
Anyway, yes it would be nice for the IU/UK rivalry to be what it once was. You guys went through a bit of a slump a while back, but I don't recall it being quite this bad. It's a great inter-conference rivalry and I'd rather see it any day than that ACC/BIG10 Challenge crap. They're two of the five historic programs (IU, UK, UCLA, UNC, Duke...though Duke is more recent, all things considered). I mourn this fall much as I do Notre Dame football, though that makes more sense in practical terms.

In Louisville, it is about 35/35/30- UK/UofL/IU... lived there about 20 years. This time of year it is insane.
I'm surprised to hear it had that much IU support.

Dude, cross the Kennedy bridge and it is all IU. Lots of bleedover.
Interesting. Why not Louisville? It's public, right? And on the border. I'd expect more UK/Louisville bleedover into southern IN than IU bleedover into Kentucky.
