| Pietruszkiewicz: Sampson should have been there
Kelvin Sampson should have been here, standing beside his Indiana basketball team.All he had to do was put the phone down.Instead, he leaves this group to face the taunts by itself. Everywhere No. 15 Indiana goes the rest of this season it will be heckled with chants like the one the Northwestern student section fired off the moment the Hoosiers hit the floor for pre-game warmups Saturday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena."Where’s your coach?" they hollered.Or like the one Jamarcus Ellis dealt with while he tried to shoot a free throw early in the second half."Sampson’s calling" they yelled, holding up cell phones.He should have been in the huddle.All he had to do was show some of the discipline he demanded the kids he coached to show on and off the floor.Instead, interim coach Dan Dakich and a group of Sampson’s assistants are left to put the pieces back together, to be coaches and counselors."It’s not the way you want to get a job," Dakich said.Dakich and his staff got a standing ovation from the overwhelming number of Indiana fans inside Welsh-Ryan on Saturday when they walked onto the court.They then guided Indiana through a scary 85-82 win against an NU team that has not won a Big Ten game this season.That undying support, those cheers from an adoring fan base, should have been Sampson’s.

Thousands cheer Hillary Clinton in Bay Area
I don't think any of us could have imagined that all of the work, all of the sacrifice, all of the commitment that has moved our country ... could have been so symbolized by the two of us, standing there, debating, trying to become the Democratic nominee and the president of our great country." In San Francisco, Clinton was joined by Mayor Gavin Newsom and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, who said Clinton showed a powerful feeling for simple justice. The predominately female crowd cheered when the senator conceded that as a young girl she never would have dreamed she would have a chance to become president. "No matter what happens," she said, "after last night's debate, you can look at a child and say, 'Yes, you can be anything you want to be in this country we care so much about." In San Jose, mariachis strolled the crowd, trumpets blaring, serenading Clinton's supporters into a joyous mood.
Peach Buzz
He recently came out with a Spik'eze special Nike sneaker, which he called a "best of" past Air Jordan sneaker designs. "It's flying off the shelves," he said. Lee is in postproduction on his next film, a World War II drama "Miracle at St. Anna" about black American soldiers fighting Germans in Italy starring John Turturro, James Gandolfini, Derek Luke, Michael Ealy and Laz Alonso. I noted that this sounds like a big budget film. "It looks like $100 million," he said. It comes out in October. During a talk on stage, he talked about how the movie landscape for African Americans has changed in 20 years. "There was only one black director when I got out of film school. Every time a black film came out, it was an event. Today, Tyler Perry has a film out every week." He also said Morehouse graduates too many business majors, too many people taking jobs simply for the money, not for the love of the job.
