| INDIANA??? |
| You have GOT to be kidding me! I'm out because of Indiana? And an Indiana without even Bobby Knight!!? Oh man. And to think I thought it was bad LAST year when I lost in the Finals. THE FINALS!! But now this. Losing to a #5 seed. And from the Big 10 no less. Sheesh. What a revolting predicament. Hey, don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Indiana. I've always liked The General, Bobby Knight. Heck, I'm even gonna root for 'em on Monday. But Indiana? I'm gonna |
| have trouble with this for awhile so you'll have to excuse me. I should have known something was up when longtime fantasy football nemesis, Kevin Garvin, calls me midway through just to lay a whole bunch of pessimism on me. I blame you Garv, and you alone. |
| Well, you do have to admit they make a nice story. Straight out of the movie "Hoosiers" almost. And that is THE greatest sports movie of alltime by the way. Just in case anyone was curious. Don't go mentioning Rocky, or Bull Durham, or Field of Dreams, or Rudy, or whatever. There's Hoosiers. And then there is everyone else. Capice? Yeah. Anyways. Like I said, its a nice little story. Those chumps who |
| were announcing for CBS though were getting on my nerves at the end when they were talking about how its so unbelievable how Bobby Knight has not called his former assistant coach, Mike Davis, to offer congratulations or whatever. Well, perhaps if you guys picked up a paper once in awhile you would know that when he was forced out at Indiana, Coach Knight told his staff that he didn't know if they (the assistants) were going to be kept on or not, but if they were let go, he would personally pay them for a year out of his own pocket. Oh? Whats that you say faithful pool participants? You never heard that story? Imagine that ... the national media not giving Bobby Knight a fair shake. So, then Mike Davis goes and accepts the Indiana job. One would think maybe HE would lift up the phone to give his former boss a heads up wouldn't ya? But noooooo. Knight finds out from the media that the guy who he told he would pay out of his own pocket was going to be his replacement. And Bob Knight is somehow the jerk in this story? Um, no. I don't think so. Okay. I'm off my soapbox. Its late on Saturday night and I'm still a little, ahem, "out of sorts" over this Oklahoma debacle. So good night. The Commish. |
