*yawn*


What else you guys got?  Anyone want to talk about HCAC football???  This IS an HCAC page right?  I mean come on...we're supposed to talk football.  Heartland football

sounds to me that they really think you are retarted and that is why it is acceptable and they figure the "cool guy" excuse would pass over the head of someone who is retarded.

[M and L]

that deserves a karma Pt

[Adam Sayer]

I guess....the lady then called me at the end of the day and told me she appreciates the fact I'm the cool guy. This lady has issues.

Kevin...what is there to talk about? Be the leader QB. Start us off.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Good plan.  I'm not sure we could milk more than a week's material out of "Is Adam better described as 'retarded' or 'cool'?", and we've got almost 6 months to go!

I s'pose we could go back to "Is Rich Rod 'Satan' or 'Bo'?", but I'm not sure we could dredge up much new material.

[M and L]

Don't worry guys, before ou know it draft day will be here.

Adam,

Most "ladies" have issues.  You should know this....just varies to what degree their issues are.

Did anyone see Memphis choke on their own tongues last night?  Douglas-Roberts had said "I've never lost a game because of missing free throws" during the days leading up to the game.  Well, Chris, you just lost the MOST IMPORTANT game you've ever played because you couldn't hit one more free throw.

they boys from the longest yard have nothing on these guys once Chris Henry joins them.  i think the Steelers is going to add a girlfriend beating LB to the defense too.

rough week for me, i have to leave for Augusta on Thursday to host some clients at the Masters on Friday and Saturday

[M and L]

Sounds like he is just telling it how it happened

[D3_DPUFan]

Any word on Franklin recruits, especially at the skill positions? Replacement for Rupp???

Thats what makes Bob Knight great, in my opinoin.  He's not one of those guys that sugar coats anything....and it was also his downfall.  Kids now-a-days are babies.  Its a reflection of society.  Hopefully they are able to talk Knight into doing this again next year...at least for the tournament.

I don't believe there's anybody in the HCAC that is cut from this mold.  Like it or not, todays coaches have to coddle kids...its the nature of the beast.

sorry...that's bs...knight is a brilliant basketball mind who is also an a-hole and a punk...for all of the discipline he instilled in his teams (a good thing) and the rules he insisted they live by (another good thing) he certainly felt no need to do the same....big, bad bob was at his best when he was verbally abusing people...assistant SID's, team managers, secretaries, among others...real tough guy..."Lou Do" Henson had it right...Knight is a "classic bully"...

[M and L]

I Know, if Knight is willing to do that on national TV.  Just think how he tells it to his players and staff.

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....



Also, Crazy Lou Henson is not a Hall of Famer because he's a crook.  They never did see eye to eye, and mostly bc Henson is the Eddie Sutton of Illinois basketball.

70,

Whats funny is the report that Pittsburgh is looking at trading up for the opportunity to take Darren McFadden from Arkansas.  I HOPE that happens...more character for that team.
