Funny, because I almost wrote it that way, just for you.
But it's not my thread, no matter how often you joke to play it that way.
Death belongs to ALL of us.
Still, I persist...
concordtom, the death of Bob Knight is being reported over on the Men's Basketball forum and that's kind of irking me. I think you ought to go over there and get things squared away. (or is that actually okay because of, like, "Rule 8b" or something?)
I never liked Bobby Knight. In fact, I strongly disliked him. So, I wish you'd have left it on the Hoops board and never have posted him over here on my thread.
Ooops. I said it.
There, are you happy?
(No tears for Bobby. Only laughter.)
You can't post Big Fella here, because he's loved.
You can't post Bobby here, because he's disliked.
And when Trump dies, we get to have 1000 new threads, each a celebration of their own!
(Sorry to those basketball people who may have actually known Bobby and may have actually had reason to like him.)
Now I'm a little confused: The "Obituaries" thread is only for good people who croak? Or are you making this stuff up as you go?
Bob Knight was an interesting guy. Could be a jerk and a bully. Also could be a great friend and was a great coach (for players who could accept his style and not be broken by it). Would I have wanted my son to play for him? Maybe, maybe not, depending. Tons of his former players revered him, the ones that made it through.
