Nice Joe but I think one large puff of smoke followed by two smaller puffs means he is on a three way puff signal with a recruit and one of his other coach's. But then again those kids are IU kids so they probably thought the smoke was from something else.... :)
headline for that " Gee I think he's solved the signal week problem but I bet the EPA has a sanction for smoke signals because HE aint in Oklahoma anymore!
Hope that fire is from clean, creasote free wood products or Coach Sampson just committed a Felony! Bud Mackey heard about all the smoke and called Coach and asked if he could still come to IU without playing basketball...
Kelvin Sampson is a Lumbee Indian from the Carolinas, a group of mulattos (according to my sources) who never used smoke signals as a means of communicating with each other. Regardless, your cartoon is rather amusing in many ways, even down to the eight puffed smoke clouds simulating the "octagon". "Octagonal" was a champion thoroughbred from New Zealand back in the 90's and no doubt Sampson was signalling a thoroughbred of his own.
"It's an old Indian game Chief, it's called, uh, put the ball in the hole."
Jack Nicholson, as "Randle Patrick McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"
Mike Davis tried that one time...stuttered... and burnt up the blanket.
Bob Knight tried it also, but he used a jersey instead of a blanket. Unfortunately, Neil Reed was still in it.
That I didnt know about Kelvin Sampson
I do know some Lumbley's ( living near PU) so could Kelvin been calling his cousins to tell them he's coming this winter and to have a room for him???? just asking ?
Mike47424,
Burning is any oxidative process occurring at a high temperature. What you get from any given material during a combustion process depends not only on the substance being burned, but also on temperature, and, of course, oxygen supply. The fire's demand for precise delivery of the oxygen availability is the critical point, the lack of which causes the fire not to exclusively produce H2O and C2O (water and carbon dioxide), so unfortunately most fires burn "dirty". And that is why almost any kind of smoke, even from the burning of "clean wood", will contain some products of incomplete combustion, many of which tend to have a high degree of toxicity. Smoke signals, like cigarettes, can be lethal.
Wow Simmons, why so glib?
Simmons: sorry, I was getting ready to go to work and I guess I had my game face on.
Bob Knight: What does it look like when you have your game face on?
Simmons: Come on Coach, lay off man, I can't lay around all day like Wiglund and Joe. I've got to go to work, y'all have a great day.
I hope the weathers not stopped his smoke signals... like its stopped my work progress.
Simmons...I was referring to the LAW in Indiana that states it must be clean wood. I bet you read the instructions on a roll of toilet paper! Surely I jest?!?!!?
Toilet paper can provide some absorbing reading.
Sampson better be signalling for help now. When they start firing your assistants and fining you a half million, it is safe to say, he best be hoping the cavalry doesn't show up.
"Well, there are some things a man just can't run away from." John Wayne as the Ringo Kid in Stagecoach
Something keeps telling me that Sampson is not telling the truth about these calls. I find it hard to believe that his assistant set up three-way calls and was so quiet that Sampson didn't know he was on the phone.
"Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!"
Sir Walter Scott
ya your right....
but you know I still cant figure out what the big deal with 3way calls is...
Ok I was wondering... so it was just a Sampson rule... not good when you have rules made just because of you..and you can't adhear to them. oh but I know of an even bigger example of that... but we cant go into that example unless you ask .. :)
OH NO! the wind was out of the west all last week... so the signals couldnt be seen in Washington! LOL
OR is Sampson yelling Can you hear me now!
The fact that Sampson and his staff have trimmed the illegal phone calls from the 577 made at Oklahoma to just 35 at IU is either an indication that he has been (like a smoker) cutting back on cheating or he has been successful with an alternative form of communication. Does anyone know how many emails a coach can send to a recruit? How about telegrams?
"As far as the rule, you get to call (high school seniors) twice a week. It's not that difficult." Purdue Coach Matt Painter
Of course, Purdue is an Engineering school, but they are still somewhat short on NCAA banners. Maybe Matt should take some creative math classes from Kelvin. Brother Steve could explain it better, but I'll bet Kelvin probably took some calculus classes back in college and got confused while differentiating an infinite harmonic series.
