Adios, Kelvin

Dark days for the Sooners, as Kelvin Sampson leaves OU for Indiana.

By the time I'm writing this, I've gone through all the phases, like denial, anger, bargaining (don't ask how that one worked), and now I'm about onto acceptance.

I don't think you can argue that Indiana isn't a much better job. The IU basketball coach is the public face of the state of Indiana, much like the OU football coach is (to a large extent) the public face of the state of Oklahoma. Who knows who the governor of Indiana is? Well, I do, but never mind about that.

And that's another part of it. I'd imagine it gets pretty tiring introducing yourself as the OU basketball coach and people saying, "Wait, does OU have a basketball team, too?"

But never mind about any of that. I'll always have a fondness in my heart for Coach Sampson. He hit the scene my sophomore year, and really got me excited about basketball. With the exception of this year (for whatever reason), he always managed to wring every bit of talent out of his players and put out a team that's way more than the sum of its parts.

Well, I wish him the best, and hope he has success at Indiana.

You know, unless they play OU, in which case, I hope we beat them by 70 points.
