  1. Actually interested in the couple other guys. Walter Paytons work ethic cannot be surpassed. That man never quit.
  2. Ive shared this before, and you wouldnt believe if you didn't see it. My Dad and my uncle David went in on a radio contest to win the 1992 FF4 game ball. My dad picked (IU) duh, Dave picked Duke. For, context, Dave introduced my dad to IU and RMK in 1973. We just wanted the ball. Long story short, Uncle Dave won the game ball on the tie breaker because he picked 81-78 duke(douche f#$k tv ted) So my dad got the ball and we went assembly hall and got it autographed. Sorry for the winded story. The backside has all the other autographs.
  3. Seriously? Why didn't you put this in the already active thread. I never respond to your topics because we all have an idea who you are. Come on man. RMK dying is devastating. Don't use it to get clicks or likes or whatever bullshit they call it. I'd throw a chair at you right now if I could.
  4. Something I've always found interesting is Knight's favorite sport was baseball and probably the one he was best at. He also played tight end in football. I'd venture to guess that it wouldn't have mattered what sport he coached he would be in the discussion for the best of all time. He was a master tactician and motivator.
  5. If he wanted anything named after him I bet he'd choose the library.
  6. If it wasn't for coach Knight's success IU would probably be where Montana St is in national recognition as a university and in sports. 😂
  7. Here's one I've never seen before. @FKIM01There's a little Steve Bouchie in there from my hometown
  8. It's unreal how few points separates him from 3 to possibly 7 or 8 Championships. Fork Wooden. Bobby Knight was better than that assclown
  9. My uncle David introduced my Dad to IU basketball in 1973. My uncle was 4 years older so my dad got hooked on IU and Bobby Knight. So my dad got to see all of RMK glory.
  10. I don't want depress you or anything but losing your dad sucks. I don't think it really matters how young or old you are. I lost mine when I was only 21. I'm 38 now. So I feel for you my friend.
  11. Dad took me to Assembly one time to shoot around. Probably around 93', I was shooting 3s, I was close to 6' in 3rd grade for context. Coach and Norm Ellenberger came out of from the locker room and walked by. I said something like hey coach! He said get your ass on the block if you want to play for me. And just kept walking, didn't miss a stride.
  12. Were you in athletics? Was if for a basketball camp?
  13. Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine September 1st, 2006. I have a picture of me sitting on his lap while he watches the 1987 championship game. I was 2 years old at the time. He was 45 when he died.
  14. Didn't he teach history classes and give a buttload of money to the library. I know he was into military history like I am.
  15. I went 93'-96'. Details escape me too. I just remember having a pizza "party" with Brian Evans, Charlie Miller, and Lindeman. And walking everywhere. And Coach Knight was who he was. He was consistent, profane, and respect him for that because he wasn’t just being himself.
  16. I only believe half those off court stories. Did he get out of line, sure I believe that, but I don't believe ALL of it. I've met the man, attended his camps, got shirts and the 92 ff4 game autographed. He can an asshole, and a pretty decent guy. Maybe he was undiagnosed bi-polar?
  17. What years did you go? I'm guessing a few before me. I'll give coach some serious credit. He was who he was, he was consistent, and didn't change for anyone.
  18. If that was a season on the Brink I'd take it every year minus the tapout to Cleveland St in the 1st rd. I guess the book was written because of the season before?
  19. Only reason Leary ever made it to IU is because RMK was revruiting Eric Montross. He almost beat TV Ted in 1992.
  20. It been a bit but when I opened this this post was at the top. How are doing?
