This article appeared in The Other Paper, a weekly Columbus rag known for its edgy journalism. Even Columbus has caught on to Mr. Matta's ways.

Mike DeCourcey would say in response, "No way."

No way? Those are words I heard before Matta left Xavier. That's why he's disliked by many here.

Contracts in college sports today are ridiculous. $$$$$$

Its hard to trust a coach, ask West Virginia

When he says, I am not interested in the Indiana job" ... or .. "I have had no contact with Indiana" .. or .. "I am happy where I am at" ...

Then clear the highways, the moving van is on the way!

Never, never, believe anything he says.

Or ask Kansas State...WVU has seen both sides of that coin!

I can see the press conference now; Thad will come to the podium, pull out a "Hoosier" and say a neighbor gave it to him when he was a little kid and this was always his dream job.

while raising his arms in a triumphant cry of "I am the epitome of HOOSIER DADDY"

And if this scenario ever happened it would be followed immediately by the

MILLER TO OHIO STATE

headline.

Why?

He won't make any more money, he'll have huge pressures, but his ego will say yes, yes yes.

In the "Basketball Is King" arena's you have:

Kansas, UCLA, Kansas State, Arizona, Kentucky, UNC, Wake, NC St, Maryland, Indiana, and maybe a couple more.

Five years ago I posted why whatshisname would take the osu job even though he was denying it, saying that the osu job was one of the Ten Best in The Country and was I ever fried for it.

I still maintain that --- not as a King Basketball School --- but because of its locale, conference, money, political influence, facilities, and sitting in the center of perhaps 65% of the country's population within a six hour drive. That's pretty steep recruiting availbilites.

But, the man who takes it must understand the sport is a winter diversion between the Michigan game and the start of spring football.

Take a gander sometime at the Columbus Disgrace, eh Dispatch, and you'll see a football story each and ever day.

Whatshisname can't live with that!
