FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

Bob Knight is old school. Remember, he's not teaching teenagers, he's working with adults. It would be different if he was nose to nose, screaming obscenities at a 16 year old kid. They don't have the mental toughness to deal with that. A 21, 22 year old man on the other hand, should have the gonads to handle it. Bob Knight was the defintion of class if you ask me. He went about it in a different way, but his kids had just as good or better morals than any other team in the country. They graduated and were responsible people. He put emphasis on doing things the right way. Just because people 30 and younger pee down their leg whenever someone yells at them doesn't make it the wrong way to go about things.

he's also used his influence and money to do some really good things.  Such as his wife's involvement with cancer research, taking care of Landon Turner's medical bills, giving to the Jimmy V Foundation....he just chooses not to be forthcoming about all this. 

To an extent, yes he is and was a bully but he's old school.  Most of the greats were the same way and not just basketball coaches:  Bear Bryant, Adolf Rupp, etc....he wouldn't be so revered by his old players and assistant coaches if he was a total ahole.  Find me one ex-player who is a total Dbag loser now (in life) that played for Bob Knight.  Growing up, my neighbor, Steve Eyle, played for Knight at IU and loved the guy, still does even though he was his whipping boy for not playing good enough defense and not living up to his talent level....

his charitable works and things he did (does) without seeking the limelight are significant...and as you point out, he played by the rules...actually so much of what Knight stands for is wonderful...BUT it is not an excuse for all of the other crapola...and I'm not talking about yelling at kids...that's nothing. Knight has always been a classless oaf who is abusive and disrespectful of people...publicly
enjoying the opportunity to embarras people...for all of the great things he did on the court (and off) he became a joke and a poor reflection on IU and the state of Indiana..IU's only problem was they didn't can him sooner...

But back to my original post---WHAT ABOUT FRANKLIN RECRUITING? Any names?

[Adam Sayer]

Macke...I'll send you a PM later I need to tell you something

[M and L]

Here is a Question that maybe some recent MSJ alumni can answer for me.  Is MSJ still going to attend the TMC Lifting compitition that is usually held around this time of year?  B/c I think that they didn't go last year.

FC signed Klu Klux Knievel, a dare devil out of Southern Indiana. He once tried to jump a group of share croppers with a ramp and a steam roller. The guy is nuts, should be huge on special teams. Led the Southern Indiana conference in personal fouls and also had the most controversal name.

Hopefully, this guy isn't too polarizing of a figure and can find a spot playing football in D3.

Sorry d3_DPUfan,

unless victory knows more, you are chit out of luck there.  Most Franklin posters won't be back until Week 4 or 5.....IF the Grizz are still undefeated.

[SaintsFAN]

I will provide you some names however, that I thought were interesting:

Betty Humpter
Andy Feltersnatch
Mike Hunt
Haywood Jablome
Amanda Huggenkiss
Mike Rotch
Hugh Jass
Ahmed Adoodie

Anyone knows where these people are going??

i heard most of them were supposed to go to TMC but did not get in for academic reasons, something witht he ACT/SAT.  to quote the head of admissions at TMC,

"We did not feel it was fair to the rest of the student body to let in Howie Fledersnatch into TMC just becuase he took the ACT and SAT and was smart enough to actually put his name on it properly.  This would have unavoidably would raised the the admissions standards at TMC to a level that we could not survive in Northern Kentucky.  This greatly dissapoints our administration as we would love more folks on campus like Howie Feldersnatch but now we just have to stay with all of the Howie Feldsomdudesweiner we have running around here now."

I got the inside scoop that Decision08's boy is coming to DC and Tyrell Pryor is supposedly looking to transfer to DC too

[D3_DPUFan]

Sorry d3_DPUfan,

got it...thanks for the heads up.

I heard the that the Bengals were looking to draft this guy when he becomes available.

[Adam Sayer]

Who keeps a shotgun in their dorm room??? The drugs I have heard of, but a shotgun? Pac-Man, Chris Henry, and this guy need to get together and have a Pow-Wow.

Kevin, you need to reconsider your friends...especially that Asian friend of yours, Hoo Flung Poo.

I may be a little late on this, but I read today that Rich Rod and WVU are back at it about his $4 million buy out. Looking at what has transpired since his arrival in Ann Arbor (by the way, she's still a whore), and some of his past players (The Pac-Man and Henry), are any of you Michigan supporters concerned?

Was talking to Coach Leonard a few weeks ago at one of Franklins baseball games. He said recruiting was going good, he did say that they that they were trying to get a QB named Will Stein to visit. He was the QB at Louisville Trinity High School and helped lead them to the Kentucky Class 6A State Championship.

He has already said that he is going to walkon at U of L, but I think Franklin would be a perfect fit  for him. I believe he is to short to play QB in D1.

I am sure that Coach Leonard and Coach Theo will have another great recruiting class again this year.

[victorybell_57]

Klu Klux Knievel makes it the best recruiting class ever, maybe ever in the HCAC.

Sayer- I'm just worried that Michigan has sold out their reputation for some more W's. 
Now I wasn't the biggest fan of Carr, but he did keep Michigan as a top notch program in regards to character.  They may have had some mishaps but nothing to crazy. 
With Rodriguez I'm worried that that quality is going right out the door & he is just looking at bringing in players that can play but have the IQ of thier shoe sizes.
Hopefully I'm wrong & their won't be any Michigan players making headlines in the media on a negative note.  Also, the buy out needs to be taken care of soon so that it doesn't affect the upcoming season.
