Story I’m getting is that RMK met up with all the former players for Breakfast before Saturday’s game and that he did have plans to spend the day with Steve Downing
An old You Tube video. Quality is lacking. But still posting for our younger members. And that's Chuck Marlowe doing the interview.

He has us as a 1th seed this week and the first four with Byes. He still has OSU as a 4th seed and he has UI as the first 4 out. Also has PU as a 1th seed and one of the last 4 in.
Been sitting on this for a few days. Want to share with you. IU has worked up a tribute video to play in AH..... SHOULD the "General" decide to show up. We are inching closer to the day. As IU continues to work on an arrival. Even to the point of making a seat available for the coach.
Now. I am not saying coach is coming. Just that IU will be prepared should he show up.
Omg the "filters" that we all have with language and speaking our thoughts out loud are out the door when dementia hits. My sweet little grandma that I never ever heard swear or say a bad thing about anyone became the opposite. She became just downright mean and cussed like a sailor. We all kinda chuckle now at family gatherings thinking about how many of the in home help she ran off because she thought they were trying to steal my grandpa away. Lol they weren't.
I hope he does make it back to AH soon for a game. As the season goes on the likelihood of it happening lessons though. I wonder if just a tour of Cook and AH would be a way to ease him back. Maybe stopping in on a practice. No press but have someone with the athletic dept taking a few pics maybe. As a fan I'd love to see just that.
Go Hoosiers!!!
I said earlier last week that maybe if it gets leaked out that he was coming that he might not come. I don't know if that was the case but it might have something to do with it. Also maybe who reported this did not get the correct info and maybe it was that RMK was just going to a basketball game on Saturday
I can understand why she is so protective of him. She wants him remembered as the General and not some senile old man. Nancy Reagan was much the same way towards Ronald. I believe the last known photo of the Gipper was taken almost 4 years before his death which shows how much she restricted access in his final years.
This I can guarantee...regardless of what a few online critics might say, if Knight is live on the jumbotron waving at the crowd, the roof is going to come off Assembly Hall.
