Typical Knight, short and sweet. What will his son have to do to follow in his footsteps?

Who is Bob Knight?

If the Gophers didn’t already have Tubby I would say yeah! Knight is available, even though they wouldn’t have the guts to sign him. But now I am wondering if he might end up in the Big 10. Michigan maybe? That would be funny.

Is Sid Hartman going to start gushing now?

Did Sid Hartman ever stop gushing? He’s a close personal friend, you know…

I think Sid is close personal friends with whoever happens to be in the now at the moment.

Don’t get me wrong I like to read Sid’s column because he keeps track of the local athletes that are on the national scene.

I like to read Sid’s column to remind me of the the need for copyeditors and proofreaders.

Skol

Michigan just hired Beilien(sp?) from West Virginia this past off season for a large sum of money. I don’t see him going there. He could go to Penn St. or Northwestern though since their teams continually suck.

Is Bobby Knight going to get ripped for leaving his team in the middle of the season like Bobby Petrino did?

I know Petrino’s was worse but if Knight doesn’t have any health problems he should have stuck it out until the end of the season or he should have retired after last season. I think he should take a little flack.

jama: to an extent I agree, but Knight would have to go to another team today for it to be truly similar.

Still, you’d like to think he’ll get some heat for this, although he still had media support when he was choking kids, so this is small beer, comparatively.

Agreed Stu

Sid knows all.

I wonder why he didn’t warn the jews about Hitler…
